Will they announce a new game for the PS5?

It's another remaster of The Last of Us.

And they're raising the price again.

Nah, they'll remake TLOU2 for the PS6. Then they can remake 1 for the PS7 and keep alternating forever

I slightly missed FFX chat, but I didn't see anyone post the laziest way to break that game. On expert sphere grid just send Yuna down Auron's path ASAP; aeons get boosts to their stats based on a multiple of yuna's stats. Your aeons will be doing more damage with basic attacks than your characters can with overdrives for most of the game, and bahamut has innate break damage limit so he'll be able to deal 99999 damage as soon as you recruit him. The best part is beating all of belgemine's trials without learning the lessons she is trying to tutorial you on.

I think I don't really have the attention or time for big cinematic games right now. Back in the day I used to love a cut scene heavy RPG. But right now I've got so much poo poo going on when I game I want to just get in 15-30 minutes of mindless shooting or rolling or whatever.

I'm not a FF person per se, but FF16 looks fantastic.

I'm definitely leaning towards picking it up at the moment

the toukiden games aren't bad but they aren't on par with monster hunter. same is true of god eater and i assume dauntless.

i'm not sure what angle i would expect them to come at the genre with to unseat monster hunter. i would hope it would be something like 'try to capture the depth while paring away a lot of the cruft that MH still has on it' but i assume it will mean 'GaaS and also about 30-40% hornier'

dauntless already exists as a GaaS monhun clone

The weirdest part of Guillemot's NFT remarks came when he spoke as though Ubisoft hadn't launched its first NFT experiment yet. "We should have said we were working on it, and when we have something that gives you a real benefit, we'll bring it to you," he said. "Exploring doesn't mean launching."

While we agree that exploring doesn't mean launching, we'd argue that Ubisoft actually launched NFTs in Breakpoint last December.

It's a good flex, but a better flex would've been speedrunning an entirely different game in those 2 hours

I remember there being a few speedruns that have waiting periods that get used pretty much just to do that. Gonna see if I can find them.

any 100% speedrun of baten kaitos is gonna be at least two weeks, or 336 hours, due to the real time card evolution mechanic. fresh fruit cards will spoil, photo cards will slowly develop, and the infamous shampoo card will transform into splendid hair two weeks after you acquire it. getting splendid hair also, incidentally, unlocks the last few tracks in the sound test. very cool game!

So, does any of that work off of irl time and the speed runners can’t wait the required time, because it seems like a cool mechanic to just boot up the game and have your milk turn into yogurt but kinda insane if you’re waiting that much ingame time to get 100%.

I remember watching a King's Quest III speedrun history video and one of the runners mentioned speedrunning another game during a mandatory wait on the pirate ship.

That's the one I was thinking of. Feel free to follow the speedrun thread for more/further answers.

iirc it's based on the system clock so you can boot up the game after a little break and see all of your healing items have gone bad
