The matrix tech demo was enough already to put my jaw on the ground. I legit thought I was just watching film footage with the real actors until an explosion or two dipped the framerate a bit and I had the come to Jesus moment of “holy poo poo this entire thing has been graphics rendered in engine from the start”.

I think it was the most truly impressed I’d been by a graphical leap since like PS1 to PS2. Kind of like a Half Life 2 moment of “woah, this tech is nuts”.
when i played bioshock the first time i waited in the water for far too long before i realized it was the actual game and not a video

I remember having a copy of EGM or gamepro and thinking the cover was a photo of stone cold steve austin and the caption read "these are actual graphics from the upcoming PS2" and I was like whu, whut?! Games are real now.Also my friend was playing Gran Turismo 1 and I thought he was watching racing on TV lol.

It's funny how the barrier for what looks "real" changes as technology advances.

the matrix demo was cool, but i felt like i could tell when they used 3d keanu instead, even if he wasn't moving at all, just clicking around the video while it's paused and comparing frames.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WU0gvPcc3jQ

but i thought it was actually the real keanu at 1:12 walking to the right, until 1:26 then the next time he walks at 1:50 it's all 3d, but the hair looks pretty good still, but yeah it does look a bit off when it bounces. idk why they wouldnt be able to make models look that good, if only the main character, on a ps5 running ue5.

but that's weird seeing that demo for the shaky cam fps game, cause i've been messing with ue5 a bit just making basic like simple archviz stuff with it, and i was trying to think if there were any games where people held their guns in a way that wasn't super weird and just like straight ahead, which is like every fps ever made. just moving the arms of a 3d model using the first person camera i thought it looked kind of good, holding the bottom of the other hand that holds the gun, and like the bottom of the gun, as well as sort of offsetting the arms to the right or left quite a bit. but i should try to edit the actual animations but i was having a rough time with the rigging in the hands, it was hard to actually imagine it without seeing it running in the game like that though.

I'm playing through Horizon FW slowly, which is probably best given how much side content there is. I'm sure other people have realized this by now given the game has been out for months, but uh, the drill spikes are incredibly brokenly good?

I'm not super far in the game (have 2/3 of the AI cores from that large scale story fetch quest), but my first type attempting the arena and I promptly beat every single challenge in one sitting. My strategy was literally the same for every match that let you use your own gear-- Freeze Arrows --> Drill Spikes. I was only using a blue rarity spike thrower, but it doesn't matter. Once the enemies are frozen those things hit for 250~ on impact and then drill for 20/s, plus they cause knockdown the more they drill. I was beating challenges with an extra 30s-1m left on the clock.

I really doubt I was supposed to be able to clear the entire arena this early into the game. It reminds me of the frost --> rattler combo from the first game. Sadly they nerfed the rattler into the far shitter bolt blaster, but it looks like drill spikes achieve the same effect.

Too bad all the cool weapons I earned as arena prizes use ammo that suck up a ridiculous amount of resources. Probably not worth it for me to use anything other than the legendary hunter's bow yet.

The spikes are fun and crazy good. I'd occasionally use them on the mole-cat robots for fun.

And yeah, the rattler equivalent isn't nearly as good anymore.

Boltblasters are insane in HFW, way stronger than the Rattler ever was. With the Ranged Master surge and sustained fire weapon skill you can delete any elite machine in seconds.

Oh, there's the rattler I remember. Although you didn't even have to target a weak spot in the original.

Holy poo poo Chapter 12 of Like a Dragon was so loving good. I was excited to see Majima, having played 0/1, but when Kiryu shows up I legit felt my heart fistpump. The little nod of approval he gives Kasuga after he finally does that trademark "pull shirt off, reveal tatoo" move felt like he was approving of Kasuga's elevation into the "legendary yakuza" that you're fighting alongside at that point. And then after 35 hours of Kasuga refusing to believe Arakawa didn't care at all about him, you get that really emotional conversation by the river followed immediately by that gutpunch reveal of Arakawa's death. What a game! It's wild how successfully this game is able to balance the super serious melodrama with wild silly poo poo like the baby clan or Mr. Masochist substories.

Maybe my memory is hosed, but I believe the BFG edition completely replaces the lighting system of the original Doom 3 with a system that absolutely sucks rear end in comparison (but lets you have a flashlight while holding a gun).

Yeah, I'm finally in chapter 15 and it's been a roller coaster since 12. Between finishing YLAD and act 3 of Ghost of Tsushima, there isn't any movie that could have me more entertained than this.

I know I want to get God of War 2 for my wife's birthday at the end of October. I've never played the game or know anything about preorder perks other than that they exist. Is it worth it to drop the 60 bucks (+$14 release date delivery holy poo poo) for our PS4 version, or should I wait until after release? Neither of us are hardcore gamers or anything so it's not a huge deal if waiting will be cheaper.

There are some minor digital bonuses for pre-ordering but nothing earth-shattering.

If you're in the US and order from direct.playstation.com, you can get free release date delivery.
https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/games/game/god-of-war-ragnarok-launch-edition-ps4.1000031639

Also I'm sure you're aware but the game comes out November 9, so if you're trying to get it on launch day for your wife's birthday then you won't be seeing any discounts until after it releases. Since it's a new game this year, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't get any major discounts until sometime next year.

Her birthday is Oct 24th so like I said getting it on release date isn't necessary since it'll be after the birthday regardless. But if I won't see any notable price drops until next year then it sounds like I should go ahead and preorder, but direct from playstation --- thanks for that tip!
