Snak posted:I mean, most games have a completely identical story on a replay. Maybe a bit of dialogue is changed. To be fair, Until Dawn is pretty much an interactive Slasher film and some of the big choices tend to end in brutal deaths rather than a general shift in story. Mike and Sam being unkillable until the finale is pretty clearly in service of the player of being able to actually reach the end of the game without locking themselves out prematurely, and even then the game will happily let them die right at the end. Nevermind the sheer insanity of coding all the possible permutations otherwise. Aside from those two, everyone else is perfectly capable of dying to bad things and having it stick.

FYI Uncharted 4 is $19.99 for the next few days and coincides with the "Spend $100, get $15" deal that ends on 6/20. Not sure what to expect from Sony on Monday night. I assume Spider-Man footage or gameplay? Maybe SuckerPunch's new, non-Infamous IP? TLOU 2 gameplay? Price drop on console hardware? I don't know if they could top stuff like TLG, Shenmue 3, and FF7 Remake finally being a thing and all announced at the same time.

Once you get the shotgun and a few upgrades, you will utterly ruin anything human-sized or smaller. Anything bigger goes pop from the fancy toy you can find in the Hardware Beam Lab...

I like all the ideas of Love in a Dangerous Spacetime, but the fact that there is no way to skip dialog and I had to watch the whole intro movie is making me hate the experience of trying to play it.

When I mean handling yourself, you'll still find yourself in tense moments and stuff throughout most of the game. I'd say at around the 3/4 mark is when you realize you've pretty much turned into the guy from quake.

Open the context menu on the weapon you want to upgrade (some can't be upgraded like the wrench)

Just caught the Battlefront 2 multiplayer trailer from today. As someone who was a little Lukewarm (haha, pun, I did!) on Battlefront 1, this has me way more cautiously hyped up.

I hope that the gacha stuff in Battlefront isn't as hosed as it sounds though. They've implied that you can just get straight up better versions of gear and abilities from loot crates

Just a random thought, but since Capcom only busts out ports of old games for the most part anymore, how about a PS4 version of Lost planet 2? That game was so good and underrated and it would be right in line with the Dragons Dogma re-release.Digirat posted:How do you switch shoulders in horizon I don't think you can.

How do you reward meticulous scroungers w/o making them overpowered or exploration becoming barely worth the effort?

HDR stands for High Dynamic Range and it simply adds greater color depth to the image. There is less fuzziness to the darks and bright colors appear to pop more. It's the same way that listening to a high quality music file allows you to hear more contrasts among the individual instruments than a highly compressed MP3 does.

HDR for cameras means it takes multiple photos at different exposures and then combines them, pulling out details in the dark and light areas that would otherwise be washed out. Since taking multiple photos takes longer than taking one photo, motion blur is exacerbated. So it's a different process than display HDR but the term is being used similarly, in that it just means the product you're looking at has a range of light and dark that's closer to the human eye's perception

HDR for games in practice means the visual director can finally empty their blue balls and fill an olympic pool with their long grown Top Gear colour toning fantasies and not suffer colour banding due to poo poo bit depth in software.

They can beat it by having more than 1 of the games they announce together come out before 2025. And if it's only the one I hope it's that Spiderman game. Probably the thing i'm looking forward to most at the Sony conference oddly enough.

Agree on Spider-Man, but Shenmue and FF7 are kinda out of their control since it's up to their developers to get that done. I just hope they have more surprises for us.

They just kinda lumped FF7 and Shenmue and if I remember correctly mention Kingdom Hearts 3 and everyone started screaming that it was the best press conference ever... only those aren't coming out aaaaanytime soon. That being said if they were and they did announce them like that you'd be able to pinpoint a distinct uptick in nerd strokes for that single 2 hour period. Probably a good safety precaution they're not out earlier.
