"We are doing our best to push the graphics on PSVR to its limits," says Crytek's Niklas Walenski.
The Nintendo Switch 2 has proved to be a success the world over, however, one nation which is particularly keen on the Nintendo’s latest platform is naturally Japan. Recent sales data has shown that…
N4G feels more like a Sony PR newsletter with a comment section. Sony fanboys have taken over this website.
@operation
Yet the biggest idiots on the site are the Xbox zealots, like the alt spamming articles daily with his endless accounts lol.
@operation
We've always been here. Your complaint days back over a decade. There was no "taking over."
@Operation1223
It's been Ike this for a decade. Where have you been. If you say anything remotely anti-Sony, you will be flooded with dislikes. Regardless of how true your comment is. Sony's honor must be protected at all cost. Asking for trouble with this one but, the mods are fanboys too.
That's part of the reason the site is the way it is.
Nintendo dominates the handheld/hybrid market and Playstation dominates the high end market. There is no fight for 2nd. Xbox is just stumbling around until they leave the console market entirely to merge with Windows.
There’s only one market - console gaming. And Nintendo are dominating Xbox and PlayStation
@Avfe63, how many ps5 are out there compared to switch 2s? Lol. Just go play your kiddy Nintendo games, you're not part of the conversation. You Nintendo fans are the worst, you want so bad to get into this console war stuff but all you have is vague grandiose claims of sales. Just stay out of it, enjoy your 1 millionth edition of Mario kart/galaxy/world, Pokémon and donkey kong on you last last gen "new" hardware. Lol
How many PS4 or 5 are out there compared to Switch 1?
Switch 2 just released, but it already shattered all records PS set (which was PS4. Not 5)
“enjoy your 1 millionth edition of Mario kart/galaxy/world”
Ironic for a fanbase who buys TLOU and Horizon remasters constantly 😂
Ignore the alt, he's just holding up a Nintendo shield to deflect from 2 disastrous gens in a row for Xbox.
The real question is will Swotch 2 outdo the lifetime sales. I’m not so sure about that and the third-party game sales appear to be abysmal. That’s not a fantastic sign of things to come. Time will tell though.
yeah nothing is gonna dethrone nintendo in japan, especially if there's a handheld involved.
It also broke the previous records set by PS4 in the west
So it’s not just Japan. Its global.
A lot of that has to do with availability of consoles. You couldn’t find a launch PS4 after the first 3 days for a while. PS5 even more so.
I’m not saying this to take anything away from Nintendo, I’m only saying they came with more consoles to start. If there were 1.5M PS4s in North America at launch they likely would have all been sold immediately. So the launch record is a bit skewed there.
I guess the resistance against always online and digital only consoles is BS. The people have voted with their wallets.
Nintendo can literally block your Switch 2 console from accessing their online services at any time. When that happens, it becomes a brick. You won't even be able to play those games that use game key cards that are not installed on the console. Some users who have been blocked tried factory resetting their system, and when they tried to boot it up with a new account, they are stuck.
Speaking of game key cards, the majority of third party publishers have opted to use those instead of loading their full game on those cartridges. Imagine having a library of game key card games and going on a long trip but not being able to play a particular game because you need to connect to Nintendo servers to download the game first. It is not like the old days where you just plug in and play.
Game key cards make sense for large games like GTA, Red Dead, or COD, but I don't see why publishers who have games with sizes less than 32 GB need to use that option.
If you try to mod your system it could get banned from online play like every single system since the ps3 and xbox
Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”
Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.
They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.
I’m sure many would want bold and creative done well, but that’s easier said than done. I like variety so give me a little bit of everything, done well of course.
Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
it was not. it greatly expanded the areas and puzzles to the point where it felt like an entirely new game. the enemies and boss fights were given a MASSIVE upgrade. the abstract daddy fight in particular was incredible. and the team added two new endings.
Weren't Crytek in danger of folding a while back ?
This is one of the VR titles that has me very excited. It's things like this that I always wanted in VR. Interacting with Dinosaurs will be crazy. Especially running from a Trex! I hope it's a launch title.
No surprise here. Sony exclusives on VR will set them apart from the pack like the many exclusives did last gen and this gen. Uncharted series, Killzone 2 /3, God ,f War 3/4, Gt etc werent running On high end pcs last gen but they were the most talked about, most awarded and set graphical benchmarks left and right even above pc games. Psvr will also have heavy hitters which will look better than Oculus and Vive games like Robibson, London Heist and Rigs, also Gt VR. No doubts about it.
Here's my question, Will PSVR games run equal in terms of frame rates compared to the ps4 neo? Will the difference in terms of game play be small to not matter or will it be big enough to make me not be a day psvr and pick up the newer system..
