DriveClub, one of Sony’s big exclusive PlayStation 4 games, launched this week to a largely lukewarm reception. Evolution Studios’ hotly anticipated racing title had been paraded as one of the first must-have next-gen releases, only for a string of middling reviews to siphon any fuel out of its tank. The critical response, as a whole, has ultimately been mixed, with critics divided over the Runcorn-based developer’s intentions. The one thing that it’s not, however – whichever side of the fence that you occupy – is essential. Stop us if you’ve heard this one before.
Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.
you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.
Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?
Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.
If you are looking for a bargain, check out the huge discounts across the entire WatchDogs series on Steam.
Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.
That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it
For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.
Dat first first sentence...maybe he should take a dip in forza horizon 2. Should come on in the water is pretty good over here. Pretty cool and refreshing.
all of these "disappointing" are loved by lots of people.
The only reason they are disappointing at all is due to hype and unrealistic expectations.
Just lower your expectations. . and be realistic.
I am definitely not disappointed.
Question
How many of the people who are complaining actually own Destiny? DriveClub? How many of these complainers actually own an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4? I wouldn't be surprised if most of the people complaining are people who don't own any of these games or either console.
I am not disappointed with my PlayStation 4 nor do I feel the need to justify my purchase to some twit who probably doesn't have one.
