We had this conversation before…..


I hope you won’t be disappointed when PS5 only does come.

Sorry, this doesn't prove your point.

The fact of the matter is that games designed for Playstation 5 can potentially do way more than games designed for Playstation 4. If that weren't the case, we wouldn't need new consoles.
It's really that simple.

Far Cry 2 utilizing the console's power more than Far Cry 5 doesn't prove anything. Variables include: the developers, time allotted to the development of the game, vision for the game, etc.
I could just as easily show you God of War 2 vs God of War 3 to prove that there are plenty of things you can do on PS3 that you can't do on PS2. Super Mario to Mario 64. Metal Gear Solid to Metal Gear Solid 2.

By your logic, we may as well still be playing on the original Nintendo.

He has no shame.
 
No, it wouldn't. There are things you can do on PS5 that you can't do on PS4. That's why we want new consoles in the first place, remember?
History tells us when we get to everything being PS5 and Series X only, you'll see games pushed to where they can no longer do 60 FPS. And, thanks to diminishing returns, they won't even look THAT much better.

If that's the case, keep giving me cross-gen games where I can have games that look great AND run great.

I’m not saying they can’t but devs usually don’t, especially these days most AAA devs big focus is on graphics rather than adding interactivity or more advance AI.

History shows us that games evolve with each generation of consoles, in large part because of the capabilities of those consoles.

Good devs do. Developers that are the flagship for the console should be held to the highest standard.

Same goes for X-Box and Halo Infinite. They botched that even worse than here. Just to be clear, it's not about console wars.

Suprised to see you here, Men_in_Boxes.

I thought you hated SP games and wished they would all die and that MP is the exclusive future of gaming?
I don't hate SP. For the architect does not hate the blueprint. He knows it's necessary in creating the majestic building humanity will eventually use.
Has GOW: Ragnorok changed your mind at all?
There will be no game documentary released in 20+ years that mentions God of War Ragnarok. It's an entirely uneventful game with zero importance to the progression of the medium.

In other words, the guy from S. KOREA was right.
 
Sony Santa Monica just really released a crossgen title that basically performs amazingly well in all platforms even before the first few patches released on day one.

Seems like all modes are working great, and if that wasn't enough, the game just seems to be the best Playstation game released in a while.

We're really in for a treat huh

FWIW the current version I have preloaded is 1.03. So, it seems that extra time in the oven was for polish.

I don't know how you keep up with these narratives you create.

Does it matter? Win or lose it’s not gonna change how feel about the game and it doesn’t make Eden Ring suddenly bad game. It’s award show which most of us watch it for its new game announcements more than awards itself.
It's a joke. I'll root for Elden Ring as its my favorite game ever...but outside of debates in here and on reddit, idc who wins. Will love both games like in 2018.

I consider day one patch the one that’s out there when the game releases. I had no idea there was already 3 patches so thank you. That said, the game isn’t out yet so everyone is playing it from day one will do so without any major issues reported so far

It's easily the stupidest argument I've heard against this game and makes absolutely no sense.

They did something incredible with this franchise in terms of going from old God of war to god of war 2018. Tons of praise and awards. Why on earth would they change anything drastically for a direct sequel.
Because they're trying to do something different in terms of game design?

I'd prefer if this was Majoras Mask version of Gow.

The kid sounds very much like Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle on the advert I hear for this game on my podcasts.

Not very Norse at all. 😃

Please tell me this is sarcasm.
