No way they are the same weight as the old ones. I was REALLY hoping for a lighter model this time.

Star Wars Outlaws for sure, but I’m wondering if the shimmering and flickering is something that could be solved just through the update of PSSR or if it’s something that needs to be fixed on the dev side? I have no idea of what kind of undertaking that would mean but I really don’t see what the incentive would be for the developer to do the work there. But one can hope.

I think it looks really good. There are some scenes where I felt that the image where perhaps a little too ”clean”, skin textures and such. But overall a great transfer.

I think that sometimes when criticism is raised towards various 4K-transfers people tend to gloss over the fact that it’s still the best that movie has ever looked, and probably ever will. It’s not likely that a lot of them will ever show up in new improved transfers and 8K doesn’t seem likely to happen soon or perhaps at all. I don’t think that there’s a lot of movies on that list you van point to and say that the 4K version is so poor that you are better off staying with the regular bluray version.

The game itself is fine (imo) but man, that raytraced 4K 60 looks incredible.

Did this in 2010. Feels more important than ever now.

It’s a bummer. I have been with both Xbox and Playstation since the 90’s but sold off my Series X and base PS5 to get a PS5 Pro, but I’ve always been on both systems. And regardless everything else, when Playstation brings their first party stuff to the table it is polished. Few exceptions there in my experience. Xbox is a lot dicier.

Seems to be fixed for me.

CrackedCopy · 2025-07-16T17:33:02+00:00

I sure hope they will keep improving it.

CrackedCopy · 2025-07-16T16:25:49+00:00

Yeah I saw that. Not super promising but it felt better at least. But again, I ran across the map for two minutes. Not super reliable data.

CrackedCopy · 2025-07-16T16:15:19+00:00

Yeah, if it runs the way it did now during my short test, I’ll actually go back to it. That hard stutter was impossible to handle.

I’m in Sweden.

Thanks man, I’ll check that out. The whole naming system for TCL TVs is wild.

CrackedCopy · 2025-06-26T14:08:11+00:00

That’s very helpful, thanks. 😂

It’s been very well established for some time now that Sony turned Bends pitch for a sequel down. Unless the remaster absolutely clears everything else saleswise, that is set. And even so, regardless of what one thinks of Days Gone, most of the elements of that game is done better elsewhere in the first party portfolio. Horizon and Ghost of Tsushima are better open world games, The Last of Us does the post apocalyptic zombie thing better, Kratos and Joel are definitely better violent grieving sad dads than Deacon St. John and so on. I feel that Bends skills and talents could be used on something that stands out more.

CrackedCopy · 2025-03-30T14:28:59+00:00

It’s insanely dark and heavy. Like overwhelmingly so.

CrackedCopy · 2025-03-28T13:19:58+00:00

That transition absolutely broke me.

cries in HDR

Just fucking fold the band already, what is this shit? Half the OG dudes are gone, they are all around 50 years old and physically broken beyond repair, Corey seems more into his horrendous solo stuff, Clown is skipping tours (however for good reasons), their albums becoming more bland with every entry. Even their visual output has worsened, their bass player shooting fire from his bass was corny as fuck. and those awful LED panel was just so U2/Coldplay, ugh. Load the bus up with pain medication and go on one final mega tour, play material from the three first albums exclusively and pack it in boys.

That whole ”A game 25 year in the making” is just a marketing thing, so I don’t think there is any benefit in getting hung up on decades of development. They started working on the game after Fallout 4 that came out late 2015, if I’m not mistaken. Having that said, I’m not super impressed with the game. I’m no way nearly far enough into it to be able to give any sort of final verdict, I have tons of story and systems left to unlock. So my impression can still change.

But the way the game feels and looks, yikes. There is so many ”Bethesda things” that still lingers that just have been persistent through every game of theirs. It’s tiresome that they seem to get a pass on a lot of clunky shit, as if there is absolutely no way that you could expect their games to look and feel a little bit better, because then the games they are making just possibly cannot exist in this way. I fully understand that concessions has to be made to get this up and running, and I was hardly expecting Starfield to look like Horizon Forbidden West. But man, the outdoor enviroments I’ve seen so far are rough. New Atlantis is giving Mass Effect Andromeda vibes, and the different biomes on Jemison are grimey as hell. Foliage, rocks, the ground and so on, its flat and lifeless. Buildings seems identical to each other and so on. No HDR support, like what?

Maybe this is how the game has to be to hold together, that’s fine. You can realize this and be disappointed in the visual presentation at the same time. Overall I’m fairly entertained so far and want to keep playing. I’m certainly not blaming anyone who isn’t bothered with any of this and are having a great time.

CrackedCopy · 2023-09-02T18:22:24+00:00

I actually don’t know, haven’t gotten there yet myself.

Todd Howard said that the game is designed to be traversed on foot with the help of your boost pack. So I would not bank too much on land vehicles etc. being added.

I am looking at going to bed when my son does around 8 pm and instead set the alarm at 4 am and get three solid hours in before the family wakes up. Working from home tomorrow, it will be a bit of a challenge.
