What worries me is that the game looks graphically awful without RTX and some (not all) of the RTX features look like they’re perfectly capable of being enabled without RTX but are locked out.

It just looks so generic and borring. Maybe for free with PS+

gamer78041735d ago

it kinda looks like they took their tech and made cool gameplay but forgot about making a memorable setting and cast of characters. I wish they would just work on AW2 or something that has those two things as well.

Alan Wake has a memorable cast and setting?

gamer78041735d ago

@trickster absolutely the setting was amazing like something out of twin peaks, the writing was fantastic. The townsfolk were expertly written and of course Alan his wife and agent.

I'm intrigued by Control as I love the paranormal and fiction that has agencies that secretly investigate the paranormal is even better.

Looking forward to giving it a go because Alan Wake was the last Remedy game I played.

I’ve got it, never played it. Prey is a game I really wanted to like and it’s a game I really should have liked, everything about it is right up my street. But I just don’t know what it was but I just couldn’t stick with it.

How is it cool that a developer working in 2 projects were shut down?

He is being sarcastic because this is clearly another battle for N4G propaganda news article to try and filter out the bad Microsoft articles. It is ancient news.

Exactly mate I just wanted to be sarcastic.

We went over this month's ago. Great timing though considering all things going on these last few days.

Shts cute

This is the Microsoft defense force. They can't spin the current bad press in any coherent way, so all they can do is normalise the idea of studio shutdowns so that what Microsoft is doing seems completely normal as opposed to shambolic and a direct effect of bad decisions for the gaming industry. But hey, it's a cute attempt indeed.

Wake me up when Sony axes Housemarque after Returnal.

Then we'll talk.

The industry is imploding and you people are obsessing over everything revolving around Microsoft.

Microsoft spent like 100bn on studios and all that proved is that the industry will *never* revolve around them.

Stop your obsession. Xbox is falling apart. EA is ushering in AI. Sony is restricting game sales to a few dozen countries. Square can't manage poop going down a clockwise toilet. Switch 2 is as close today as it was in 2020.

There are bigger things to worry about than "How can I spin this to be about Microsoft?" especially when now you're deflecting the first place platform maker's problems to still be related to those of a platform that hasn't been relevant in a positive light since 2021.

LOL! No comparison when it comes down to the big picture.

Interesting that Konami is releasing nothing of note and still enjoying high profits. I guess this is the allure to companies.

VenomUK16h ago

It was probably due to the half-hearted release of the Metal Gear Solid Collection v1.

Imagine the extra sales Konami could’ve made if it had put some effort into it.

SimpleDad18h ago

Of course, they rereleased MGS series on modern platforms. Thank You Mr. Kojima.
