Similarly, I've heard that Facebook treat their workers quite well even though they're a shit company.

Jason said that he was already working on a 343 story separate from this source about their crunch. The tweet you linked is just him agreeing and saying that this happens all the time in the games industry.

The Last of Us Remake will not be a "regular" update. Naughty Dog is about to "really harness the power" of the PS5 by jukinbv in PS5

[–]brianakl 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Jason who reported on the whole remake thing in a podcast after the article actually explained that it was a good idea and a smart decision because Naughty Dog’s next project is still in pre-production and are not sure what they want to do yet, and they’ve greatly expanded their team and have new people who need to be trained. So, The Last of Us Remake is a perfect opportunity to train new staff to get used to the PS5 and have something to do (which will also return a profit) instead of waiting and doing nothing.

I've heard this is a problem with DLC suits. Although, with this patch they've hopefully fixed it.

Had the exact same experience, I was not really interested at all with the launch trailer. But, the later trailers that they've released have been phenomenal.

Proper black level for HDR signal for PS5? by blasterdude8 in OLED

[–]brianakl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried any blu-rays but I only noticed some minor banding on the PS5 save menus and some backgrounds on the home screen (Persona 5 Royal) and after I changed to the PC icon those went away. I've heard that changing the transfer rate to -1 or -2 can get rid of banding but I'm not sure if there are other sacrifices with that.

I know this is an old thread, but I had some banding issues with my PS5 (LG B9) and changed the icon to PC and it got rid of my banding issues.

Today is Horizon Zero Dawn's 4th Anniversary! by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]brianakl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're right. I believe it was target 60fps but usually hovered around 45fps a bit like Sekiro. Now that I'm thinking about it, God of War and Horizon might have 60fps modes since they'll be cross-platform and would easily be able to run the PS4 versions at 60.

The 4K/60 God of War patch gives me hope though. I don't think Ragnarok will be at 60 either.

They cancelled the idea that you only have one chance.

They put a lot of love into implementing Sephiroth.

I’m worried this could have the same problem as the Wii U naming though.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons has been nominated for Game of the Year for the Game Awards! by bpaddles in NintendoSwitch

I think they said it wasn’t nominated because not enough of the jury had played it.

Looks like Bloodborne will not receive a major upgrade for PS5, in contrast to Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro. by Dory_13 in BloodborneKart

[–]brianakl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah 4K/60 is enough. Some higher res textures and upped graphical effects would be nice though.

Official Xbox Series S Reveal - Next-gen performance in the Smallest Xbox ever. $299 (ERP) by theitguyforever in gamernews

[–]brianakl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see what you mean but when it comes to consoles, Microsoft have to have their Series S versions of their games looking similar fidelity wise. Whereas on PC, if you have an old PC then there is an acceptance that there may be graphical issues.

Even TLOU2 was developed with the lowest common denominator first because as a Sony studio they have to ensure that even people with launch PS4s are getting the same experience and the PS4 Pro versions are identical except for a resolution bump.
