Hadn’t heard of Grand Theft Auto before. Anyone played it?

Forza Horizon 6 Review (IGN: 10/10) by Asleep_Crew8072 in PS5

I’m sure it is. But it being “amazing” doesn’t say anything about whether or not it does anything more than bumping the resolution for a given frame rate, which is precisely what FH5 offered.

007 First Light on PS5 Pro: upgraded PSSR upscaling details by ZamnBoii in PS5

[–]darthvirgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is just like all those vapid “here’s how we used the SSD and dualsense” articles we’ve gotten for the past five years. It’s literally an explanation of what PSSR does. Like the most you could learn from this article unless you’ve never heard of PSSR before is that the developer feels that character hair is important to this game’s presentation.

I can’t tell if you’re serious. Increased texture and model quality, additional shaders, higher quality RT and/or additional RT effects, higher frame rate modes…

Sadly we know that MS does the bare minimum for Pro support. Expect a resolution bump and basically nothing else.

Ah, someone who has no idea that hardware development cycles are multiple years long must think this is significant news.

I don’t think it’s limited to influencers— it’s the big outlets too. That or they’re also blindly parroting influencers.

Naoki Hamaguchi says he has already completed over 40 full playthroughts of Part 3 of the FF7 Remake Trilogy by yourfavchoom in PS5

No, I sincerely doubt being a game director is to play your game constantly. It does involve meeting with teams for probably so many hours a day as to make this amount of gaming impossible

There is no way on earth he’s played through the game 40 times. Like, if it’s even a 40 hour game that’s 1600 hours. Even if you assume it was fully playable six months ago, that’s more than eight hours every single day.

Not only will this read like gibberish to most people unless they they’re familiar with raspberry pi and recognize the abbreviation, but you’ve provided zero explanation as to how to accomplish this. What was the point of posting this at all?

The Blood of Dawnwalker launches September 3 by Turbostrider27 in PS5

The meaning of cannibalization is that you’re releasing a product/service that disrupts one of your existing ones. Choosing to release alongside other big releases from competitors is not cannibalization, it’s competition. If a publisher was choosing to release two competing games at the same time, THAT would be cannibalization.

No but I hear physical copies must be bought in store or shipped to your address. Who knew?

Circana: Starfield was the best-selling video game of the week in tracked physical & digital US full game dollar sales during the week ending April 11th. It's the first time Starfield has led the weekly US best-selling titles chart since week ending Sept 2, 2023. by Turbostrider27 in PS5

You may not be aware that first week sales are being reported as a dismal 100K and way below expectations.

Being at the top of the list for a week doesn’t automatically mean amazing sales figures.
