After some weeks playing GTA IV, what was supposed to be risk to my marriage is now another dusty game on my TV rack. With 86% complete and a few multiplayer sessions, I simple came back to FIFA 08, CoD4, Uncharted and Elder Scrolls.
I like the game and I am happy that I paid 90 bucks thanks to the issues with the Brazilian game market. I enjoyed when it last. What bores me is that simple and repetitive drive and kills game play. Since I got the RPG, all killing missions turned quite easy.
And what is the point with those philosophical Niko dilemmas? To kill or not to kill? He simple kills pedestrians for fun…
Now I make this question: with this well hyped extra downloadable content for the 360, will GTA fans get new and innovative missions or more simple drive and kills?
With its existence looking more and more likely, there are several points the Final Fantasy 9 remake should hit to ensure it was worth the wait.
A new report claims that Sony could actively be working on making PlayStation 3 games natively playable on PlayStation 5 consoles.
I hope this is true. I have slow internet so playing it natively when streaming doesn't work well would be great
I’ll believe it when I see it.
This rumor has been going on for almost a decade now, and nothing.
The hardware and specs are there for native emulation, it’s just up to Sony to see if there’s value there to do it, if they want to spend the engineering and budget doing it, and will fans actually use it.
One thing I have to give Xbox is the amount of effort they put into backwards compatibility and allowing games to run at better than native settings, even if it’s a limited version of the library. That’s one of the few things Sony can learn from them, and if the old code is still there for many of these games (at least the exclusives) it would behoove Sony to work on some PS5 / PS4 remasters / remakes of some of these games with PS4/PS5 level graphics.
An Infamous 1&2+Festival of Blood Remake would be great, along with, MGS4, RE5 (it’s inevitable), God of War 1 - 3 (just for sales and old school fans), and maybe a few others. Everything else would probably be best just emulated with FSR to boost resolution to 1440p or 4K up from the 720p era, and hopefully fps boost allowing 30fps to go to 60fps, and 60fps to go up to 120fps.
One can dream.
RE5 already has a PS4 version that can be played on PS5(6 bucks CAN right now). As well as RE0, RE1 remake/PS1, veronica, RE6 and both revelations.
I hope so. The more backwards compatibility the console has and more games it is able to play the better
Would be better if all of them worked rather than selective, probably means certain ones like The Simpsons game won't be compatible.
Xbox Game Studios boss Matt Booty thinks they "deserve a pretty positive grade" for the recent Xbox Games Showcase
You bought it all around six months ago. You spent billions because the company is literally inept but yeah a plus man
It's like a kid that pays the smart kid in class to do his science fair project for him, then brags "Hey, look what I made! That's an A+ effort right there!"
Here’s the thing and I know it’s going to cause a stir like it’s some fanboy bullshit but it needs to be said
Microsoft did indeed have a great showcase, no way about it, they did
BUT…theres a lot of ways to go about it
We’ve been moaning for years how studios constantly keep showing off games that are years away and the thing is this is exactly what Microsoft has done this year
Simple reveal trailers to fully showing of a bit of gameplay, it’s irrelevant the fact is Microsoft already revealed Perfect Dark, Fable, State of Decay, Avowed, Indiana Jones before the showcase and some of those titles were revealed a LONG time ago. They did the same thing with Hellblade 2 for a while until it finally released, it always felt it was at every show. Gears of War had no release date so how many shows is that going to be at realistically? I just assumed going by the comments online people hated this sort of stuff and yet the next they praise it. We’ve still got other games MS revealed a while back and will get more re-reveals in the future so the same will happen again.
Then you have multiplatform games on top of all that because let’s be honest between the Summer Game Fest and Microsofts Showcase you’ll want to reveal your games at something more established and bigger so these big third party studios will chose Microsoft to show their games at since Sony hasn’t got any presence at these shows and people like EA don’t really do their own shows because they are always terrible.
It just feels like overtime, if Microsoft finally go third party in the next few years, the Microsoft Showcase will basically become a third party mini E3 show more multiplatform developers will want to get in on as long as there’s an Xbox version.
"You bought it all around six months ago. You spent billions because the company is literally inept but yeah a plus man"
Sure thing...
Perfect Dark, South of Midnight, Fable, Flight Simulator 2024, State of Decay and Gears 6 all looked incredible it those has absolutely nothing to do with ABK or even Bethesda.
I guess some people simply can´t accept that MS is on a whole new level of quality, quantity and variety that competition can´t come close!
Xbox has the whole generation on the lock and even some games to spare and save for the next generation console. All Top tier games day one on Gamepass including COD.
Things will only get better for us. This is just the beginning of something ever greater.
Guess what they didn't show much of? Exclusive titles. Not even Gears 6 was cited to be exclusive to Xbox.
Looks like you were proven wrong yet again.

Haven't you learned to wait for release yet? You said the same about Redfall and Starfield. Looking great in previews is all well and good. It's how they actually play that matters. Where is this "whole new level of quality"? They've yet to even be nominated for game of the year, nevermind winning it. That's what a whole new level of quality means.
“Things will only get better for us. This is just the beginning of something ever greater”
Good grief.
Fanboy shit aside…come on
Cringe
ah spare me with this “us” mentality, you corpo mouthpiece are getting tiring...
if you’re a gamer and you see games you like buy it (and the device to play it if you haven’t) and move on, it’s a box not a homeland to defend.
As a primary Playstation gamer i give it positive grade since the showcase was OK and most of the games coming to PS5.
IMO best of the shows
Astro bot
Black myth wukong
Phantom blade zero
new Doom
new Gears
MGS Delta
Mario Party Jamboree
Zelda EoW
Pass on Doom Gears and Mario party for me though my kids may want to play Mario Party. Also a temporary pass on Black Myth until they get discs in their house physical copies of the game. Not a huge fan of the Zelda art style but I will still get it as it has the old school gameplay
I would say so. Well done showcase. I do still miss E3 though as I still just don't really like these online showcases replacing much of the in person presentations where everyone gathers. Companies, devs, and fans of the whole industry (not just for one platform) alike at one event.
You deserve a steaming pile of shite just like the Series S you released to gimp this generation
lol well point out,....the whole moral dilemma about dropping some1 or letting them live...when after..youll just mow down pedestrians ne way..... i never thought of that!
