The trailer for that Rush of Blood 2 implies that they're using the eye tracking to know when you blink and move the enemies around weeping angels style. e: derp, the text of the article is explicit that they do. Fix fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Nov 2, 2022 |

Also the big squid physics game will use eye tracking to know which NPC you're talking to and which menu item you want to select. There's so much good tech there, it really needs an Astro's Playroom to show it off.

I put a Japanese DVD into my PS5 and it asked me if I wanted to change my PS5's DVD region code, I had no idea that PS5 could do that. It also told me I could only do this 4 times ever which is a weird thing too.

I think that's relatively common, including the limitations on how many times you can do that for PC DVD/BD drives

A little late to the discussion, but what is so bad about PS Plus? I skipped most of last generation and I haven't had an XBox since the 360, so I don't really know what the competition is up to, but I was really happy with upgrading to the middle tier with all the games that came with it. There were a bunch of recent games that I would have ended up spending that money on anyway, and I also got to try some games that I probably wouldn't have spent the money on (or would have spent the money on and gotten bored with and felt bad). What are we missing out on, exactly? Is it just the size of the library, or...?

It's partly the size and quality of the library and partly that it's not very good value compared to Xbox Game Pass, which tends to get a lot of major releases the same day they go on sale at retail. Sony didn't dare or wasn't able to swing that, so the higher tiers of Plus are still mostly a back catalog service

You gotta keep in mind that most of the people itt already have played most of the more interesting stuff on ps plus. For Someone like you who is new to the games it’s probably not a bad deal at all.

Halo Infinite, Psychonauts 2, Elder Scrolls/Fallout/COD stuff in the future. PS Plus so far has only had that for like, Stray.

e: @feels: I mean, where’s the lie. I’ve played tons of PS games since the launch of the PS4, have had Plus since it was a thing. I found enough obvious value to Premium that I went for it. Until I notice not having things I want to play on it it’s a no-brainer.

Yeah Phil just said they're losing $200 per Series S. That thing is 100% a loss leader for game pass, the lack of a disc drive has nothing to do with production cost.

Congrats, you're pretty much the target customer. If you spent the last gen buying PS4 games then it doesn't have much to offer relative to game pass.

PS+ 'essential' tier usually gives me 2-3 absolute bangers per year that I feel justify the cost (past examples include stuff like Deep Rock Galactic and Rocket League at launch), games that are instant pick up and play classics that I put hundreds of hours and zero dollars into. In addition I usually get a bunch of things I wouldn't think to purchase otherwise which helps me branch out of my normal. Since I need it for online play in the first place it's not a hard decision each year, but it's very unlikely that I would pay them more money for on-demand style netflix gaming. It's just not in the cards for me.

Part of the reason that MS has been going so hard on GamePass in a manner that Sony is unlikely to match is that they are taking absolutely huge losses on hardware and have been steadily backing out of the physical release game market for a while now. As a lowly big box electronics employee who sells video games it's kind of nuts how lopsided the PS5/XSX thing gets in the matter of sales and distribution. It really feels like Microsoft just doesn't care about the physical market. My store gets both PS5s and Series S/X at different rates, we've been getting Series Xs pretty frequently since the start of Summer but we sell at best maybe once a week. We've got a dozen in the back along with dozens of Series Ss that don't move. We got 8 PS5s a few weeks ago, Horizon Forbidden West disc bundles, at the Canadian sales point of $719.99 (versus the $599.99 of the X) and we sold all 8 in A week even with the +$50 price bump Sony pushed onto Canada. A few days ago we got a stray digital PS5 model and put it out, and within an hour it sold. I still get calls asking me when we're getting PS5s (I just tell them to phone GameStop). Sony sends us game stock all the time, every day I get a shipment of games and I open it up and there's all these discount PS4 games. I can't remember the last time Microsoft sent us budget games. We get new releases a lot, but unless it's a huge tentpole game the PS copies usually either 2:1 outnumber the Xbox copies or we straight up don't even get Xbox copies. If it's An Xbox game we'll get it in a bubble mailer, like A random copy of Mechwarrior 5 or something. Sony (and Nintendo) marketing reps visit us quarterly to swap out branding stuff on our cabinets and around our department, but I have never met the Microsoft rep. We have signs advertising Minecraft coming to Xbox 360 and COD: Infinite Warfare as hot new products. They have to exist because we have Halo Infinite branding (with the original release date not the date it actually came out) but hell if I know where.

BeanpolePeckerwood posted:Yeah, from what I can tell, but it's also a bit of a haul. What's the best way I can put it? Everything's just really granular. You know how people complained that Mirror's Edge Catalyst had a skill tree that took a few hours to unlock (you could have most essential skills by mission 5), well Dying Light 2 quadruples down on early game disempowerment, you are a lump of poo poo at the beginning who can barely climb a wall without getting winded, and they make you work for every inch of ability progression be it through fighting, running around, or infiltrating hazard zones at night. It's honestly a lot to take in, especially if you're mostly in it for the parkour. The later abilities look like Matrix move level poo poo lol. This is really loving cool to hear. I like the ascent from tissue paper to titanium that RPG mechanics can lend to a game, and I like that you can feel a difference. Much more visceral than doing five points more of damage. I’d heard they wanted to touch up the writing for the sequel. Too bad that didn’t seem to pan out but eh whatever it’s not like most folks are playing it for the writing anyway. Will probably grab it when it’s on sale. Thanks for the writeup.

I have whatever the highest tier of plus is. I had a gift voucher so I spent that on it. I think the service is good and I've played a lot of games. I have also used game pass on PC and it feels essentially the same to me. You get the odd new release but tbh I haven't played a launch game pass game and been all that excited about it. I'm locked into plus because I bought the yearly sub with my voucher, but I turn game pass on and off. It's cool to look at a big library of games but I tend to pick a game and play it over a fortnight or a month depending on what it is. I recently played all the way through Trials of Mana, the South Park games and Children of Morta. Plus a heap of other poo poo I didn't finish. Feel like I do the same with game pass, fire up a game and play it for an hour until I declare it mid and move on.

Elden Ring makes it so hard to go to bed! Bashed my head against BLOODHOUND KNIGHT DARRIWIL for a few rounds before ultimately beating him without him landing a single hit, which I was pleased with. Then bed! Well, I'll just see what's over the bridge.... Well, I'll just kill these dudes and then see what's over the bridge... Then bed. Oh, there's an npc! I'll just talk to her... Then bed. Well, I'll just look around here for a bit... Argh I'm meant to be waking up at 0530 and going to the gym before work! But why make real life gains when I can make ELDEN GAINS?!
