the GOTY* is here, boys *provided tlou2 doesnt release this year

another overhyped peele movie

Switch is the best place for new games

“its not possible to make a modern vampire video game without political themes”

trials rising though

now that weve settled the best version, whats the best steelbook 🤔

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2019-sekiro-shadows-die-twice-performance-analysis But what about the resolution basics? Sekiro is the first From Software game to aim for higher resolutions on the enhanced consoles. Both PS4 Pro and Xbox One X deliver an 1800p presentation, with the evidence suggesting that the Pro is using an image reconstruction technique to get to its target pixel count, but whatever approach From has chosen pays off massively - it's really difficult to tell one version from the other, even when zooming in tightly on captured screenshots, though

You guys are playing yourselves if you think I didn’t want this.

long video but well worth it, as he breaks down not only the flaws with rdr2’s design but also how rockstars games have continually moved further away from the freedom of their ps2 classics in favor of being tightly scripted and predictable.

its easy to have this attitude if you dont partake/dont have access to the true gems of the medium like sony 1st party titles and various Japanese xcluded titles. if the only games i played were those on ea/hobo pass, i wouldnt collect games either, because i cant become attached to games that are literally disposable junk.

honestly its decent but these are legendary

better than the original is crazy. the og is a visionary piece of work. nothing like it had ever been put to screen before while 2049 just iterates on the past. it doesnt help that we had just seen 2 years prior a star wars movie where harrison ford was an absentee father again - its the most bog standard plot hollywood has. on that topic of fan service, trotting out cg recreations of old characters, and literal video/audio clips from the old movie is perhaps the most inelegant way to do so, putting it firmly in the category of disney star wars sequel-boot.

then ill sum up -hackneyed uninspired plot that lifts ideas from movies that were themselves inspired by the original blade runner. the original was a trailblazer; 2049 is me too garbage -dreadful hamfisted dialogue and clunky overbearing exposition. -gosling is miscast. hologram girl is awful, basically existing to explain plot beats to the audience. leto and the resting bitch face girl are AWFUL villains compared to rutger hauer. -awful fan service and callbacks from bringing back old, depressed ford, uncanny valley cg rachel, and utterly point

its quite easy to do https://youtu.be/ES6jTsZ4NQs it basically got nothing right - plot, writing, characters, casting, production design, aesthetic, tone, music..

aliens, t2, and fury road shit all over those. br2049 was hackneyed/uninspired in basically every way and falls under sequels that are a disgrace compared to the original. dredd is just average.

valve doesn’t make games, that’s why turtle rock split long ago

the key to a lib’s heart is his favorite marvel movie

imagine going all in on a 4k set up this gen

The game has two modes: 'Graphics mode' and 'perfomance mode'. Graphics mode: -XBX native 4K at 35-40 fps. "Remarkably jerky; not recommended" -Pro 1080p at 60fps, with improved AA and shading. -Base PS4 1080p, drops into the 40's. -Base XB1 1080p, drops below 30fps. "Rather awful" Performance mode: -XBX 1080p at 60fps (4K HUD) -Pro 1080p at 60fps -Base PS4 900p, fr drops during cinematic attacks (doesnt affect gameplay) -Base XB1 dynamic res 720p-900p, "mostly 60fps" but can drop "like a stone" in some arenas
