TLOU2 > BB > TLOU1 > the rest In general though, any vote that's open to the general public is mostly a popularity contest. Spider-Man was always going to beat Returnal. Even if BB had been included, it would have stood little chance against something as popular as God of War.

I'm happy to hear that overall. They're good at making single player games and should focus on that. But this is one hell of a false dichotomy: I don't think anyone, aside from maybe some shareholders, ever wanted a huge never-ending all-consuming content mill live service extravaganza. They...

"Launch trailer" "Development footage, subject to change" Not really what you want to see. Anyway, the leaked footage looks quite weak to me. I'll refrain from making final judgements based on leaks (we all know how that turns out...), but I doubt this is going to make a big impact honestly.

Looks great to me. Ramsey isn't the spitting image of Ellie, but this trailer has reassured me that she'll nail the personality, and I'm getting good vibes from it all round.

Meh, clickbait title. You can play it on XB1 but only in the same way you can play it on a phone.

That article hints, but doesn't quite outright say, that future ND PC versions will be handled in-house rather than being ports by Iron Galaxy et al. Would be nice to get confirmation of that.

90. The embargo is a week before release, which implies a reasonable degree of confidence. I expect some glowing 10/10s balanced with underwhelmed 8/10s.

This article says no HDR; this one says it does have HDR, just without a proper calibration screen.

I always feel torn about this. On the one hand- yes, memes aside, 30fps really does look more cinematic. That's thanks to some combination of simple association (I'm used to low framerates from films and associate them with that medium) and the fact that motion blur/general poor motion clarity...

I'm mostly dispassionate about this because being a fan of large electronics companies is generally a bad idea. I just buy whatever hardware seems best for me. With that said- knowing that the handful of PS5 exclusives I'm interested in will eventually come to PC makes me much less likely to buy...

I tried the free version once (maybe it was a trial of the pro version, can't remember). I'll freely admit it worked fairly well, and I was left impressed by the tech. But the idea of paying outright for games I could only access by streaming was a non-starter, and always will be for me...

I wanna see the ML acceleration hardware in current GPUs used for something other than graphics. Imagine a decently-sized model with inputs like the player's last known position, time since last seen, last weapon used, enemy's health and ammo reserves, presence/absence of nearby buddies, etc...
