This year’s E3 found Sony holding most of the marbles. Yes, Microsoft touted exclusive games like Titanfall and Sunset Overdrive, and their games looked pretty, but gamers were less than enthusiastic about the features of the Xbox One, especially the need for an online connection every 24 hours and the restrictions on used and shared games. The outcry forced Microsoft to do a 180, reversing their position on their less than well received stances in order to mollify the gaming community and not lose everything to Sony and Nintendo. The 100 dollar difference between the consoles may yet prove the difference in who holds the edge for the next generation of gaming, but with Microsoft’s reversals things come more back to the games, and Sony provided a look at several, including five exclusives, with the promise to announce more later at Gamescon. The five are a mix between new IPs and old franchises. The new IPs are Knack, The Order: 1886, and Driveclub, with next gen additions to the K...
Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.
you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.
Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?
Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.
inFAMOUS Second Son was one of PS4's best exclusives, but does it hold up a decade later?
100%, locked 60fps and still look great all these years later, same with the expansion, definitely worth a look if people haven't played it yet, not the best games ever made but a good experience, hopefully a new infamous gets released
Never was my favorite infamous, but it was definitely a graphics showcase early on PS4. Still plays well with the unlocked frame rate.
Graphically It's a absolutely stunning game that still holds up today.
Didn't have all that much depth to it forcing you to play though twice for a platinum trophy a good and bad run it was a little disappointing how similar those were Delsin would be like I'm not doing that for you in a cutscene but the cutscene would play out and force you to do it anyway just as you would of in a good run
I did like the story however it got a lot of complaints back in the day people hated playing as Delsin instead of cole despite Coles story being wrapped up.
Overall though the map wasn't overly saturated with useless points of interest there was some collectibles and things to find but nothing compared to a Ubisoft game.
I think it was a good game if a little hollow I've played it through around 4 times now since it's so short.
Also it's DLC was great a full story expansion
GB: "With this feature, we run down 15 of the most underrated games on the PS4 that never received the love and appreciation they truly deserve."
I've played 15, and I wouldn't consider any of those underrated TBH. Some of them are pretty high rated.
I. Not seeing anything on that list underrated. I never played concrete genie, the ASTRO vr,and one other but I forgot the name already. Nothing on there was underrated at all imo.
There’s only 4 of those games I never played, and no most of those aren’t underrated.
I'm getting all 5 but Knack will be the first game i will play on my ps4.
At first I wasn't sure about Knack. I'll be honest. But the more I've seen game play. I'm most certainly getting this game! It is brilliantly created and more so by the creator behind the PS4.
Pretty solid lineup, I am most interested in inFamous Second Son, that game has awesome written all over it
Driveclub is gonna be awesome
Just wish they had a rpg at launch but kzsf looks awesome
