Short Pause: "In this week's episode, Ben, Bender, and Brent wrap up our coverage of E3 2017, analyzing all of the big news to come out of the show, as well as looking at some of the smaller stories that may have been overlooked. The fellas also reveal their top 10 games of E3!"
Recent rumors about a potential Days Gone remaster for the PS5 is exciting news, but if true, this release would also sting a bit.
Would be the same problem there. Why? It already looks fine and is already boosted to 60FPS on PS5.
It runs 60FPS but doesn't have all the other benefits from PS5.
I'm looking forward to higher fidelity, DualSense integrations, next to no loading times etc.
Days Gone was one of my favorite games 2016, and I'm happy for a Remster.
The shill in this is incredible.
It came out in 2019. Bend hasn't even announced their next game yet!
@Tacoboto
Correct, it was a typo.
Still I'm happy for an optional Remaster with the upgrades PS5 and DualSense can give it.
They will announce their next game when it's ready.
Obviously it's not the same people working on their next IP that has been working on Remaster.
This game does not need it at all. You're are part of the problem. The game already looks really good and plays at 60fps. Adding controller features than many turn off and shorter loads times which weren't a problem in the original game doesn't warrant a remaster.
This is as pointless as the HZD remaster. PS5 allows us to play PS4 games. If they were remasting games from the PS1/PS2/PS3 era then that's justified but these are just cash grabs. Nothing more.
@Kyro
Well think of it this way. If they see fit to remaster this game and it sells well then we might get the sequel we were asking for. Infact for those that bought it im sure Sony will have 10$upgrade.
Hzd on the other hand..you're right.
I’m with you HelicopterGirl. Day one for me. My boys and I love this game. I’ll support a remaster in hopes it sparks a sequel!
They need to stop with remasters and start making actual games for this current generation.
Where are all the games?
Sony will continue to be big headed and ignore infamous series remasters requests also days gone too. I think DG looks so good even on ps4 but playing it in 60 fps is a welcomed bonus that make sme enjoy my 2nd playthrough even more
Sony ain't making the rumored Remaster of Days Gone.
It would probably be the new hires of Bend Studio as a part of their onboarding, just like Naughty Dog did ith their new employees for Uncharted and Last of Us.
I loved days gone so much. One of my favorite open worlds ever in a game. It captured the oxidized northwest so well. To this day still my favorite Sony exclusive.
It was a great open world game that had loads of fun ready for you, if you like killing crazy zombies and motorcycling.
The only way I can see this is worth it is if they port it to unreal engine 5 and use all the new fancy features seeing as how the original uses unreal engine.
Also people really need to get it straight. It's not that a sequel got canceled. It's that a guy's pitch for a sequel got canceled and he was bitter about it. Another pitch could have been greenlit we don't know
Let's face it, it was already a fantastic looking game for its time and it still holds up today. I've modded it on PC and I can see how much better it can look though. Just because it runs 4K/60 on PS5 isn't always a great metric. It'd look better with RT and better textures. Naturally proper Dualsense additions would be great as well.
With God of War: Ragnarok launching on PC later this month, we decided to take its prequel for a spin on the Steam Deck OLED. Fortunately, the game looks and runs admirably with consistent frametimes and sharp textures.
Sea of Thieves, the pirate-themed game from Rare, has reportedly surpassed one million copies sold on the PS5 per a new report.
Yea, we’ll be seeing plenty more Xbox exclusives head to PlayStation..
Just like sony tossing horizon on the switch xbox also sees the potential to double dip for sure.
I do not see xbox past next gen i think in the 2030's xbox will be just a publishing company if not next gen if you look at there console sales it would make sense to also not toss a console out next gen and just focus on software as they are making way more cash on software than hardware.
Now halo on the switch/ps5 hmmm
Horizon the switch?
Are you talking about the Lego horizon game lol.
Totally different situation.
@pwnmaster3000
Right because sony?
please enlighten us on how sony giving out there best recent ip to another platform is different then xbox putting there ip on other platforms.
Yeah it'd be crazy not to release horizon Lego on the switch those Lego games sell gangbusters on switch
Xbox have been on the decline, Sony can comfortably run their businesses without relying on other systems for revenue. That's the difference.
@DodoDojo
So there huge push to go multi-plat had nothing to do with there failing revenue?
Look at the spike after they tossed there ip's around and the pc sales of there games
https://companiesmarketcap....
Even sony knows were the cash is
@Profchaos
Oh for sure they spent $0 on making the game but will get some great check's in the mail that game is going to sell so well on that platform then they will toss it on switch 2 and or consoles got to have that double dip.
Herp derp , maybe if it was actually horizon and not a lego game you might have a point but alas.
There’s no way Lego would make a game for them using one of their IPs and keep it exclusive
It was probably we either release it on the Switch or we don’t do it
If they did a Horizon spin off game for Switch with one of their own first party studios then fair enough, but it’s not. It’s Lego.
Because it’s a Lego game and not actually one of the main game in the series. Compare to what MS is doing, it’s vastly different.
Now are they going to start releasing games to other platform. Maybe, but to the extent like MS. Who knows, but as of right now, comparing that move to what MS is doing is reaching so much.
Man we have games skipping Xbox because the sales numbers aren't worth the time and the difficulties of dealing with the Series S, why in the world would Sony release their games on Xbox?
That first sentence is a horrible argument. Makes no sense and feels like an attempt to shove Sony into this conversation at all.
I think Xbox will try their best to keep hardware around, but it won't be like it is now. I think they'll go all digital and go with a middle-line hardware and not a heavy pusher like the Series X. Something that will play games slightly better than Series X but will have a lot of built-in storage space.They'll, if possible, eat as much of that cost as possible to come under the PS6 in price by as much as possible, but the PS6 will, IMHO, be more powerful, because Sony relies on hardware to maintain their market and will keep it like that until there is no other option.
@just_lookin
You are trying too hard to make it seem like both are doing the same thing. They are not. No buts or ifs about it.
On this topic:
I never played SOT, but its interesting that this game started off as a flop and built up to a relatively successful gaas game.
This site is nuts
So sony tosses there games on pc gives out there ip to other companies for other platform's something they never have done in the past a ip only ps4 had in the past that is normal 0 issues.
Xbox tosses there game on a ps device we must stop the press flip the couch and go on about xbox for weeks.
Man trump needs to hire everyone here for his campaign/trials you all get him back in that chair asap.
If Microsoft wants Gamepass to succeed they need to keep putting out Xbox's. Otherwise they only other place you will see Gamepass is on PC'S, TV'S and Amazon Prime Sticks
I see what PlayStation players are doing with the long con of buying “Xbox exclusive games “ by over a million in less than 4 months to incentivize Microsoft to put all their games on day one on PlayStation and kill the Xbox console. 🤣
.
BTW
It’s a JOKE. don’t take personally obscured orchard crew
Where they'll feel better with DualSense, load faster with the better SSD, and be accessible to more than 2x the console playerbase.
At least Hellblade 2 may come to a platform with a controller that can give its immersion the full respect it deserves. World-class tech for audio and visuals but stuck on an input that's been static since 2005...
https://store.steampowered....
Hellblade 2 is on steam you know a computer were you can use any controller and have great audio.
Are you saying that the ps5 is the only console or device that has ever seen sound past stereo?
A ps5 is the only device to have a fast nvme ssd?
Input sense 2005? umm haptic tech has been around sense 1976
https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...
There is nothing a ds5 does that has not been done before somewere else even price gouging that was apple but now sony does that and crappy battery life man i miss ds3 battery life.
You're pathetic and weird, stop with your strawman arguments and need to be antagonistic about everything.
I own the game on Steam and play it with DualSense on there but the features of DualSense are best on PS5 natively. I'm not saying that to refer to the controller speaker only, but the haptics especially *and* having those enhanced haptics wirelessly.
"Yea, we’ll be seeing plenty more Xbox exclusives head to PlayStation.."
Indeed. And sell even more.
Makes sense. The game sold 5 million copies on Steam and had 30 million players in 2022. So it does have a hook; what it needed to sell on PS was essentially just to be available there.
For those not pissed off i mentioned cross play i looked it up and it does have it
https://www.seaofthieves.co...
So people playing for a long time on xbox/pc can join up with people that only have a ps5 that is a nice feature witch again helps with sales.
It's also cross progression. When it first released in 2018. I bought my self the limited edition controller that came with a code for some unique clothing. I didn't like the game back in 2018 it was bland and empty. When I bought it during a sale on Steam in 2021 I was able to continue on where I left off in 2018 with the things I unlocked as well as my dlc outfit.
Forward to 2024 when I got it on ps5. I again could continue on from pc and still access my Xbox dlc from 2018 and I then got a exclusive playstation sail set.
@ocelot07
That is cool what a great/rare feature to bad all games do not have that.
So no wonder it is selling well if a 2018 player can grab it on his/her ps5 then continue were you left off.
Honestly less than I would've expected based on the buzz around release, but still a great milestone.
