Game News 2.0

Couldn't remember if Rise of the Ronin was an exclusive or not, and keep mixing it up with the Black Myth Wukong game. It's probably the only one from that list I'm looking forward to though. If it can find a decent mix between Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima, it could be a hell of a game.

At the very least there's likely no Elden Ring or Baldurs Gate which will take 200 hours of my gaming time. The Elden Ring DLC and a replay of BG3 won't be as long as the first playthroughs.

Downloaded that a few nights ago too. Trying to get to the red ranks in Tekken 8 online before moving onto it, but that might be a pipedream because I'm getting some awful matchmaking with higher-level players and often cheap characters (King, Victor, Devil Jin, King, Law, King, King, and a few Kings here and there too).

I'm sure there's small print to say "except Bloodborne"

MS should be worried. What Sony have done so far on PC is impressive. They are beautifully crafted games with everything they do thoughtfully implemented:

Direct Storage - i.e no noticeable loading). Even games without Direct Storage handle loading without loading screens.

Ultra Wide - where others will just give the option in the menu but put no effort into its mplementation, for.example warpped graphics.on the peripheral, Sony not only implement it properly so there is no wrapping they also put thought into things like making the Hud width adjustable.

Properly implemented HDR - anyone who thinks they can't tell the difference between Sdr and Hdr should play a Sony game on PC. I like to describe it as Matte Neon.

Remastered graphics - they're no just console ports. They're enhanced for PC, both graphics and fps.

I would love to see they're games coming quicker to PC but not at the expense of the above.

Edit: Although thinking about it a bit more I'm not sure MS would have anything to be worried about with having more Sony on PC. But it does (should) embarrass them to see Sony blowing into PC and showing them how it should be done on their own OS.

I think the thing that embarrasses MS is the fact that the PS5 sold more consoles last year than the total sales of the Series X/S.

If Sony needs to look to porting to the PC as a way of keeping game development sustainable and profitable when it's so far ahead in terms of sales then XBox must be facing some serious issues.

This is going to be interesting. Also, how are they so bad at leaks? A lot of disgruntled employees (or ex employees)?

It's sad that yet more more people in the industry are losing their jobs, but I don't think the cancelled project would have reached the heights of DA without the original writing talent involved anyway.
