- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - PC Announcement Trailer (Coming Jan 23, 2025) 1 week ago:
Maybe! There’s much bigger spaces in this one, more assets to load etc. Recommended specs are an RTX 2060 for 1080p 60fps medium settings. I would say the steam deck sits around there?
- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - PC Announcement Trailer (Coming Jan 23, 2025) 1 week ago:
Oh man I’m very impressed with it. First “console” in many years that I’ve been really really happy with.
- Comment on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth - PC Announcement Trailer (Coming Jan 23, 2025) 1 week ago:
It’s surprisingly capable hardware. Doom External was running at solid 60FPS on medium or high settings (can’t remember) for me. Sure, it’s a very well optimised game, but it’s a real looker too.

I don’t think it will run very well there, we can have hope though

- Comment on Toem 2 Teaser Trailer - Now in Development 1 week ago:
Same here. I just completed it a couple of nights ago and it was delightful. Vibes.
- Comment on What do we think will be GoTY and which game do we think should be? 2 weeks ago:
I just finished metro exodus and it’s DLC for the first time a week ago. Fantastically beautiful game.
- Comment on Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg] 3 weeks ago:
True. I suppose depending on how they designed it, they could keep them though. The PS portal for example has a screen and haptics/adaptive triggers.
That’s a thin client obviously I understand.
- Comment on Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg] 3 weeks ago:
Oh yeah that was at the forefront of my mind when writing that. A handheld would have the option of a much larger battery than in the dualsense, but there’s the question of how powerful this thing is expected to be and how much juice is required for that.
I hope the haptics don’t go away, it’s the best new feature of the ps5 IMO.
- Comment on Sony Working on Handheld Console for PS5 Games to Rival Switch [Bloomberg] 3 weeks ago:
Hopefully we don’t have a PSVR2 situation.
Sony does have the best controller haptic system and that in a handheld could be great. I think that if the push into handhelds by Sony/Xbox to try and compete with Nintendo and the steam deck causes some smaller scale and fun games to be released, that would be a positive for the industry.
- Comment on at this point it just feels vindictive 4 weeks ago:
It’s the only explanation. Sony are sitting on the IP to sell as an exclusive later down the line. It would be financially stupid of them to release a 60fps patch, even paid, for the PS5 at this point.

- Comment on New York Game Awards to honour Sam Lake 5 weeks ago:
Great. The Remedy universe is really compelling, but they’ve always been a quiet achiever as a studio.

I liked the purple prince… Hopefully there are skin options.
- Comment on Veilguard Isn’t the First Dragon Age Game to Face ‘Woke’ Criticism 1 month ago:
That’s it. The Alan Wake 2 “race change” actually allows for some interesting links between Quantum Leap and the Alan Wake stories, but it was seen as a DEI situation. If a game is bad, it’s generally bad for reasons beyond DEI or wokeness.
- Comment on Veilguard Isn’t the First Dragon Age Game to Face ‘Woke’ Criticism 1 month ago:
For some reason the second most followed curator on steam is Sweet Baby Inc Detected. Its pretty widespread brain rot.
- Comment on Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak sales 1 month ago:
At what price point would this device be useful? Seems like the sort of device that was made to allow the company to be bought by Google/Microsoft/Meta.
- Comment on Avatar: The Last Airbender Is Getting a AAA RPG With Saber Interactive and Paramount Game Studios - EXCLUSIVE 2 months ago:
Saber interactive at least are an experienced developer with real games under their belt.

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
- Comment on [Opinion] Why do so many cozy games suck? 2 months ago:
The brown MilSim apocalypse was a bad time.
Ultimately, these cozy games are so often Indies with a limited scope and budget. The fact that this sort of genre has found the following is a good thing for gaming and Indie devs.
Of course once we reach market saturation and people are fed up with them, they won’t sell as well and new twists on the genre will have to be developed in order to stand out. This is a good thing for gaming and indie devs again.
- Comment on Sony’s Concord reportedly cost $400M to develop | VGC 2 months ago:
Yeah it seems like a podcast saying a number like after talking with a staff member of concord. I would have thought that people below executive/finance suite wouldn’t have that information. Not sure if they talked to someone in there but $400 million is just a bit steep.
Not impossible with tech salaries being what they are, maybe it includes the buyout of the entire studio by Sony in that number though.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered confirmed by ESRB rating 2 months ago:
Certainly a remaster that we needed.
Bloodborne on the other hand runs beautifully at a buttery smooth 15 - 30 fps. No need to remaster that one.
- Comment on Final Fantasy XVI is out now on Steam and Epic Games Store 2 months ago:
Why do anything other than claim the free games honestly… The Epic launcher needs to improve drastically for it to be viable as a competitor.
- Comment on Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work 3 months ago:
Financially, I’m not sure if you could say that starfield or fallout 4 was a failure… Look at steamcharts player counts as an indication. All time peak concurrent players: Skyrim: 90,000 Skyrim SE: 79,000 Fallout 4: 470,000 Fallout 76: 72,000 Starfield: 330,000
Sure skyrim has sold on many platforms and over time likely has sold the best, but you can’t say that starfield and fallout 4 were commercial failures. Starfield being on game pass day 1 means the real concurrent numbers would be enormous.
I’ve not played starfield and agree it looks like shit, but TES VI is likely going to sell gangbusters to mainstream audiences given how much Skyrim broke into the mainstream.
- Comment on Astro Bot (PS5) - Launch Trailer 3 months ago:
I would imagine this game is going to be the best implementation of the dualsense haptics yet. Astros Playroom being the current best.
- Comment on The eagerness to grave dance on unpopular games has become a bad habit 3 months ago:
Bad headline but reasonable argument within. Concord probably failed for the reasons people outlined, sure. The point is that peoples fingers aren’t quite as on the pulse of what will make something successful as what we give ourselves credit for.
Personally, I don’t know what makes a hero shooter successful or not. A game like this could be going gangbusters for some reason in 6 months time and I would probably not understand why.

I don’t have anything particular to add but I just wanted to say that I like this content.
- Comment on [Major_Trenton] Sony's Scam 4 months ago:
PSVR2, you cannot buy replacement parts. There are a number of flimsy parts on this device, bits of plastic that can deform. Once that happens you are out of luck if you aren’t within the warranty.
- Comment on TitanFall 2 at 3$ 4 months ago:
I still haven’t played the first. It was fine without.
- Comment on TitanFall 2 at 3$ 4 months ago:
Worth it for the campaign alone at 5x that price. I got the game with no expectations years ago and was very impressed.
