Still haven't played the first one

Keep hearing it's great, but it's not typically the type of game I play.

It's amazing, but absolutely nails so probably best off watching a run through if metroidvania isn't your thing

That presentation got me pretty hyped for it ngl - it's probably the Elder Scrolls game I played the most
Not going to pay £50 for it though (presuming it's the same price on PS5 as PC - could well be more) - i'll wait for the drop

Great deal for Gamepass subscribers though

It's a great game….apart from the combat which is terrible, this means the overall game is a real let down. I hardly ever don't finish a game and I just gave up on this one. Could have been brilliant but the developers tried to be cleverer than every other combat game and massively failed.

Turning out to be really good

i never played the original (was firmly in Wii land at the time)....so this is great as is supposedly a great game...now with hugely improved graphics

ove the last couple of years ive really enjoyed playing old games i never got around too back in the day (KOTOR 1 & 2, Wind Waker) showing for me at least a good story kind of trumps amazing graphics

You should have some fun with this. Are you on PC? The mods will give it years of longevity

i got a steam deck a few months ago so have added it to my wish list, have 24 game son it currently and 10 already in my library.....so will be waiting for a sale

did people hear about the mod project, apparently a team had been working for years on updating it with modern engine...and then they just dropped it, dont think there had been rumours the remaster was coming was there?

 

[Ddanno]

Probably got a C & D letter

 

[Kiwiwomble]

Probably got a C & D letter

apparently not (from the article i read), theyre still working on their version although obviously probably slightly less motivated

 

[Ddanno]

Aye fair enough, almost no-one saw this coming

GTA delayed till may 2026 and

Xbox prices hiked worldwide amid tariff uncertainty

The company has pointed to increasing game development costs and "market conditions".

www.bbc.co.uk

I get the global economy is rough, but the fact they're pushing game prices up too is telling. I think the big three know they've lost the casuals and are now just squeezing the fans as much as possible because they know they'll stick around regardless.

Duty rumour Ps6 Dev kits are due out 2027. This has multi-generation all over it

Given the way they milked 5, they will be milking GTA 6 for a decade.

Seeing as the consoles are already ridiculously expensive, I dread to think how much PS6 will be.

Thing is, if they're only going to be more powerful, its not needed. They really need to rethink what they're doing. They're suppose to be powerful, but not like a high end PC. More affordable and okay hardware. If people want high end max settings etc, they go to high end PC.

And the US tariffs will be used to justify an even higher price, whether they're withdrawn or not

What a depressing Friday. GTA was going to be highlight of my year

They still will be, it's just that the 'high-end' pc market is unobtainable for most nowadays with nVidia's high-end north of £1.5k for just the GPU, and no competition from AMD or Intel until the mid-tier (which is still £500+).

Consoles, even at their current and projected price-points still represent the same good value they always have in comparison.

PC isn't see the giant leap it used to. At this point, a mid PC would see you able to play most games on good settings or low for the triple A stuff. Buying a console makes less sense as they have a short life.



Playing this on low for example would not be bad and it only requires a GTX 1050
