gamrReview's Zach Frimpong: "With major video game development budgets frequently surpassing those of summer blockbuster films, triple-A titles need to sell incredibly well in order to turn a profit. As such, marketing plays a much larger role in gaming than ever before. Usually, this takes the form of pre-release trailers and demos, and generally speaking these do impress. However, as we’ve seen with a number of recent botched launches, the likelihood of a trailer or gameplay demo representing the final game is becoming increasingly slim."

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.
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
Overhyped rushed broken crap not the first time this has happened and won't be the last time. And yet you think developers and publishers would learn when its overhyped and the title flops you think they would not do it again but they do. Mind you there are some overhyped games that are worth playing like GTA5. Its no different then Hollywood when they over hype a movie the trailer looks great and then the movie sucks its and endless cycle,
Who benefits from the Hype train? Activision
The publishers, I presume.
I usually ride it till the game releases but I make sure to jump off before it actually arrives. I save money and get to have fun at the same time. I have avoided so many purchases by caring then just not caring about the game anymore near its release;not sure why. lmao
