Riders Republic is so much fun. It has a relatively low skill floor but also a really high skill ceiling. Go watch some stunt clips to see just what you can pull off.

The different sports are a lot of fun and honestly what other game lets you transition from Skateboard to BMX to Jetpack in a span of a few seconds.

Only downside is that the more fun sports are locked behind a DLC purchase but it goes on sale quite frequently.

I liked the next fest demo and I’m glad the game seems to be doing well for the devs.

This is the core issue of console gaming tho. You can’t actually upgrade. You just straight up buy a new console. This wasn’t that big of a deal during the PS4 gen because the PS4 pro wasn’t that expensive. But at the current price points a different strategy is needed.

Honestly I think if Sony made a program like “mail us your old PS5 and like $200 to get a PS5 Pro” the console would’ve done better. It wouldn’t address the “why do we need this?” part (especially considering we’re hearing reports of GTA6 running at 30 FPS on the Pro) but it would’ve done some good for customer goodwill.

It can definitely work. Some of my fondest memories in multiplayer are me playing Arma 3 on a hardcore milsim server. The immersion was unmatched for me but it’s hard to replicate. It requires everyone to play along and that just doesn’t always happen.

So I’m not inherently super skeptical about the multiplayer aspect.

You can do anything if you complain loud and long enough

It’s so funny to me that you get this for a limited time only as a PS5 owner but as a Steam Deck owner I get it forever.

I think the biggest issue this engine has is just how many features there are. There are probably at least four ways to get any given job done, and sometimes there isn’t even a clear best option. I have lots of gripes with the engine but they can be summarized as “it’s just too big” No wonder games aren’t properly optimized when UE tries to replace a dozen established tools.

Yeah I’m a big fan of upscaling myself. I hear a lot of complaints on the internet that this means developers won’t optimize their games because upscaling exists, but I think it’s great because it gives older/weaker GPUs (like your 3060) some longevity.

Heck, I use DLSS on my 4080 when I don’t want a game to suck so much power.

You know what would convince me to buy the game? NOT PRICING IT AT 80€

DF tested it and no, The PS5 Pro can’t run Elden Ring at 60 FPS. Also ye the whole 8K thing is infuriating not even the RTX 4090 can do 8K reliably

Unfortunately, casting from potato to carrot is a narrowing conversion so your new carrot will lose some properties

I have noticed this trend as well, but I think it’s actually pretty good. Your package bunch of features you have been working on under a common theme and that builds some excitement.

Consider the alternative: “Get ready for build v1053” or “Prepare yourselves for update 1.2.24” that just doesn’t sound exciting and it’s probably not gonna draw in players who haven’t played the game in a while.

And also keep the psychology in mind a little bit, It seems less impressive to release seven small updates where each update only adds one relatively minor feature rather than one big update with seven new, but still relatively minor features

Yeah and YouTube already has a “pay money but still get ads plan”. And they’ll likely continue raising prices on all plans

Backflipping sounds so whimsical tho and I’ll be using it from now on, especially when someone backflips from a promise hard.

Your prices are optimistically low. They’ll probably be double that and lock features behind the more expensive plan.

It really is amazing tho how much they managed to fuck New n Tasty up compared to the original.

Well it’s a competent CoD clone, costs $0 so the shitty MTX hits less hard than in a $70 game, and it’s 1/10th the install size. Might also be good for CoD players if this game gets big enough and lights a fire under Activision’s ass.
