"and it could be a game-changer"

You do, in fact, use the interface to change games so....

UnSelf1704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

heres an agree

edit: an n4g article about a eurogamer article about a DF article. Jesus Christ

averagejoe261704d ago

There is no N4G article. And DF is Eurogamer.

UnSelf1704d ago

There's an n4g.com

Theres a eurogamer.net

There's a digitalfoundry.net

We can play semantics all day

Ju1704d ago

DF is part of it, but it's not eurogamer. Leadbetter and his team is DF, while eurogamer is a whole network.

So what? Does it really matter fgs.

LOL well played!

In all honesty, I HATE the term "game-changer" and I think it's one of the most overused terms in video gaming. I'm not sure if the term really applies here either but I do like what we've been shown so far regarding the UI.

Mr_cheese1704d ago

Agree! Same with "take it to the next level"

NXFather1704d ago

I mean only one of us really did it. Not talking about games. Not playing no games.

gamer78041704d ago

Lol nice. Basically a UI should have as much functionality until it gets in the way. Basically stop short of that

RaiderNation1704d ago

That's why I've actually come to really appreciate the Switch's UI. In the beginning I hated how barebones it was but now I actually appreciate it's simplicity.

NecrumOddBoy1704d ago

Razz, is technically correct; the best kind of correct!

ClayRules20121704d ago

LOL. Well said, Razzer!

Digital Foundry...please, just stop!🤦🏼‍♂️

Bathyj1704d ago

Hey, I made this same joke weeks ago. 😜

RazzerRedux1704d ago

lol...I swear I didn't steal it, but I guess I owe you royalties for usage anyway.

Hmmm, got change for a quarter? ;-)

Bathyj1703d ago

Ha. It's fine mate. Everybody gets one.

Hahaa. That's a quality comment if I ever saw one.

Every week we have “a game changer”.

I wish people would stop being so dramatic with these titles (in all regards)

Saijahn1704d ago

Both consoles are offering things never seen in gaming consoles before so yeah it's groundbreaking stuff going on 🤷🏽‍♂️

AriesBear1704d ago

Not the u.i. really no one cares about it. It's nice to have but no one in the history of gaming has ever said "why did you not buy a PS4? The user interface is just not cute. Yeah no. Remember all these sites get a kickback for praising the consoles. It's just business PR

RaidenBlack1704d ago

@AriesBear
The UI may never be a selling point of a game console.
But an unintuitive and crap UI will plague your experience for days and may also cause you to question your purchase decision. The software matters to drive the hardware.

EverydayJoe1704d ago

@Aries in the PS3 era I heard that many times when the Xfans were so wet on the Blades UI.. I think they still are.

crazyCoconuts1704d ago

No on is calling that a game changer, even with exaggeration mode on

SierraGuy1704d ago

LMAO...looks like they copied ps4 dash 🤭.

Finally after all these years.

bajny771704d ago

Can't see any difference.same old clustered screen

Ju1704d ago

Seriously? How is this remotely similar? Those aren't tiles. The dashboard never had any interactive elements, or activities or anything else where you can attach functionality to a game. The only similarity is some colorful rectangular like shapes. But that's where that ends

purple1011704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

That is a copy of PS4! the card rollerdex on top of recently played games.

ok does look better and the icons are bigger than what we've had on PS4 but we have been playing like this for years.

Xbox any got rid of their stupid Windows 10 tiles because although they looked good.. it was a nightmare to use it was like going into a supermarket every time and they've moved your favourite items to a different I'll and you have to search for them. And don't tell me about updated where they moved them on purpose! Grrrr

alb18991704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

For me Quick Resume with multiple games is the best feature of the OS of next generation and PS5 won't have it.

Ju1703d ago

..because it doesn't need it. You can jump into a game in different places faster then the X can resume old games.

@Saijahn I think we all know which console is largely just iterative and which console strives to stand out as next gen with new innovations and features.

darthv721704d ago

Yes... the Series X towers above all. Even in the skyline: https://d2skuhm0vrry40.clou...

Christopher1703d ago

@darth72: Not going to lie, that would be an amazing addition to FlightSim as an inside jest of sorts.

1704d ago
AriesBear1704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

Lol so true it's ridiculous. My fave part was "when you get stuck in a game you can look at the cards" or just Google it. no one in the history has praised the console because of the UI. people care about the games and innovation not about the navigation screen. It's never sold consoles. It's a UI. Game changer!

Now that this is out of the way, would love to get more deep dives into the exclusives coming out. Specifically Godfall, because even though i do have it pre-ordered, i feel like i don't know enough about the game and may very well cancel the pre-order if further deep dives don't impress me.

Stanjara1704d ago

Why didn't you wait for reviews then?
I mean seriously...

nickanasty2061704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

Mainly because i can cancel the preorder or just return it. Money doesn't come out of my account until launch day, so i can decide by then as long as review embargos are released before day one. I wanted to have all my stuff in order at Best Buy so i can just do curbside pickup and can avoid going into a crowded store, so pre-ordering was my best bet in doing that. Mainly trying to reduce my exposure to Covid for the most part with the early pre-order move. That's understandable i hope.

Stanjara1704d ago

As I see it you don't know what you are buying.
Also, that game will be 2 moths from release on a discount and will be 8/10.
That is still good, but nothing you'll miss out.

nickanasty2061704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

Definitely taking a gamble for sure. My intention is to buy a new next gen game that has co-op and this does. I believe its the only PS exclusive that does coop that is somewhat appealing.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

Dude don’t pre order games you don’t know much about. You’re caught up in a hype and you need to level out your thoughts.

I plan on getting a ps5 day one with miles morales and for the ps plus collection a bunch of games in there I haven’t played. But that’s about it. All the other games coming out that I’m interested in like cyberpunk I’m getting for my pc and I know what I’m getting. Witcher 3 was my game of the generation.

Oh and it’s worth adding I don’t have any of these things pre ordered lol I’ll get em closer to the time.

nickanasty2061704d ago

Witcher 3 was fantastic. With Godfall, like i said, was looking for a fun next-gen exclusive game on my PS5 that i can play with friends. From my understanding, Godfall is the only game i know of that is next gen and will do Co-op. If i'm wrong, definitely let me know, i just want something i can play with my buddies on day one. I don't have any friends who have had playstation in the past, so generally have only been able to play online on my Xbox or PC with buddies. This time around i have two other buddies who actually got a PS5 pre-order, so i'm looking to hopefully be able to connect with them online in a new game. Usually my Playstation is just the single player warrior console for exclusives, so i'm really looking to find something i can play to connect with my buddies online thats fun and isn't just another generic FPS multiplat game.

purple1011704d ago

I'm getting dirt 5 and ghost of tushima for my ps4pro. (I play 1080p not 4kthough)

Will get ps5 when gran Turismo 7 and ratchet and clank are out. Also by then...Spiderman will be cheap..

Plus I need to save up for a 4k TV etc..

Im looking forward to my last 2 this-gen games.. whilst equally looking forward to next gen games.

So although dirt 5 and Ghost will have a next-gen patch... neither are true next gen
.

To say I'm excited for both is an understatement.

purple1011704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

Think there working right up to last minute on that one. Also it runs on unreal engine 4.2 not unreal 5. So it's not truly next gen.

But if you want an idea of what it's like to play a pc game on ultra max settings.. this would be it.

Profchaos1704d ago

Seriously it's the most covered game so far I've only seen a few brief snips front Spiderman im all in on that

Anomander1703d ago

How is Godfall exclusive again? I can play it on my PC?

nickanasty2061703d ago (Edited 1703d ago )

Specifically between the consoles is what i meant to say. But you do put out a good point. PC will probably be a better place to play this. Maybe ill just cancel my preorder for the PS5 version and just get this on PC. Surely it won't be 70 dollars as well.

Anomander1703d ago

I just checked the Epicstore and It's $59.99 for the base game. I am willing to be it goes on sale first as well.

No sh!t it's a game changer. So many quality of life enhancements, blistering speed, easy navigation, finally some understanding of progress towards trophies (but it's so much more!), PIP with your friends, speech to text message via the controller mic, the list goes on - really impressed by all this. And it's pretty lol

StormSnooper1704d ago (Edited 1704d ago )

My thoughts exactely. I was pleasantly surprised. The PIP and voice chat through Dualsense blew me away.

crazyCoconuts1704d ago

I think it's great - new UI really hammers home that it's a next gen console, not just a processor/GPU upgrade. I was overly optimistic about the Create button - thought it was likely Dreams would somehow be integrated into the system. Seems like they should do something there - the Dreams investment was massive and it's too amazing a creation to simply let it fade away like any other game does over time...

SullysCigar1704d ago

I'm going to check out all the spooky Dreams games in VR tomorrow night - can't wait!

BlackDoomAx1703d ago

Since dreams has been announced, i told that it would be very smart and almost mandatory to have it integrated with the PS5. Missed opportunity if it won't.

The Evil Within Deserved More: A Great Horror Series Left Behind

The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.

An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.

I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.

Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.

"the game runs at its best on the PS5 Pro in Performance mode, with a higher average resolution compared to the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions in Graphics mode"

It looks so crisp and smooth.

120fps locked maxed out on a 4070 at 1440 ultrawide, Series X feels just as good and locks at 120 too. As it does everywhere according to this. Coalition knows their tech

hiawa232h ago(Edited 2h ago)

If the Pro is the most powerful console, It should run the best on that console, I would think.

I’m glad not every team under Microsoft’s banner is on some clear bs like the Doom team is.
