My least favourite decal style that everyone loves is the translucent one where you can see the innards. I just don’t get it!

Even if it looks old now, you could definitely take the black plastic/wood panel atari approach and modernize it in a way that looks really slick. The Ps4 actually looked pretty nice with wood veneers, but not as cool as an Atari.

It's cool for Nintendo Stuff, since Nintendo fans are small children, or adults with the brains of small children. it makes it more of a learning toy like

I almost ended up with an Atari back then instead of an NES. My dad kept looking at the Atari's and somehow caved for a Nintendo.

I love a translucent shell, my favorite DS4 was the white translucent one. I love seeing all the circuitry and stuff. Demystifying gadgetry and making its humble innards part of the aesthetic rules.

My only wish for a real revision is that it's not as noisy playing 4K disks. It's sooo loud
Wait, like UHD movies? I'm watching one at the moment and mine's quiet. It's audible when I first put the disc in, but while actually playing the movie, it's quiet. That's been my experience for other 4K discs I've played, too. And even when I first put the disc in, it's not nearly as loud as the sounds my PS4 used to make while playing certain games. I do not miss that poo poo one bit. While playing games, the PS5 is real quiet and that rules.

uhh what? i'm not sure if they were the worst, but the 00s were definitely worse than the 90s. 20s and 50s didn't seem too great, either.

Finished Forspoken, game is way better than critics gave it. I really enjoyed it a lot. Story is just the right length and the world is a lot more populated with things to find and do than originally believed by people from the demo impressions. Square-Enix when they make single player games is absolutely killing it. Now just get them to stop making GaaS titles.

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
I think video games are definitely better now than in the 90s (this isn't controversial shut UP) but also you could afford a modest one bedroom apartment in most cities without making 80k/yr so I'm still gonna give the edge to the 90s

I picked up Gran Turismo 7 in anticipation of PSVR 2, and it seems good but, is it just me or is GT just super bland looking? I guess the other recent racing games I have played are Forza Horizon 5 and Dirt 5 and they are both just so much more fun to look at.

Don't get me wrong the car models in GT look amazing but the backgrounds are just so bleh. Hopefully as I get deeper into weather effects and tracks I haven't seen it will spice it up a bit. I guess it's more of a sim game than I usually play. I usually go for the most arcadey racers. The VR support will make it well worth it though. Racing in VR is fun as hell.

GT has always been car porn first and foremost

Did they get anyone to agree to let them model damage yet or is everything still pristine and shining like new even after you spend the whole race riding the barricades around every other corner

Yeah I'd trade all of the cool games for being able to find a 1br apt for under 2K a month,eggs that don't cost $7 for a dozen, and social media not existing.

The latter, but I think that’s a creative choice more than anything. It’s a weird way to phrase it but everything in the game feels like…museum quality levels of care. Being able to smash stuff up, realistic and fun as it might be, kind of goes against that.

The damage thing is a non-issue nowadays for sims, Polyphony Digital just chooses to really not do damage.

Tbh I dont mind that. I'd rather look at a nice looking car than something I completely smashed up.

I mostly just wish the city scapes looked less bland and lifeless. Tbh even pretty low detail especially compared to other recent racing games.

I wish gt7 took a few lessons from fortnite for the multiplayer. I feel like whenever I log in I have to wait like 15 minutes to do the race I want - why not have an option to drop me in immediately with maybe a smattering of humans and backfill with bots? GT7 online racing is already pretty casual so I think something like this would be fine. Then you can at least feel good about passing a few bots, even if you’re slow as poo poo against humans.

Actually, imagine if this is how the campaign races were done? That’d be sick, seeing a few real humans now and then. Maybe if you are a fast driver, they can match you with people who suck but are in faster cars as a handicap.

Ugh this will never happen but it’s fun to imagine

The main Forza series and GT want to push the sanctity of ~Motorsport~ and as a result all multiplayer interactions are an absolute slog.

Like you suggested they really need a mode that allows a quick drop in experience without a 10 minute queue.
