No, but they should ask him to stop putting urination sequences in. I really don’t think the artistic integrity of Cage’s projects would be compromised without them.

There isn’t a scene in Detroit where one of the robots, like, drains their oil pan or something, is there?

Only thing I can think of is that there's a scene where Android Cop wakes up Clancy Brown and Brown goes and takes a leak. I think that happened.

At least Cage's games have gotten considerably less rapey as time has went on. Like in his first game you literally rape a woman in the first hour or so.

I tried PSNow for the first time last night. I have a pretty good WiFi connection and this was late at night. Seems... alright. I tried WWE 2K18 and Rage for PS3. The latency seemed way more noticeable on Rage. I definitely wouldn't want this to be how I play games in the future though.

Bear in mind PS4 WiFi is notoriously poo poo, especially at 2.4 GHz.

Figured this would be the best place to ask, but has anyone had any experience with contacting Sony in regards to expired codes? I just got a new copy of The Sly Cooper Collection on the Vita, and the 3rd game is included as a code rather than on cartridge. The code expired almost 3 years ago though. If I contact Sony would they offer me a new code, or am I poo poo out of luck?

There's a sex scene in Andromeda that is like one of the only cinematics in the game that is fully rendered and doesn't use the horrible face is tired bobblehead algorithm.

Kratos grinding that woman into paste is terrible but he also is pretty singlehandedly ended the world and killed like a million people in cold blood, and even though that scene made me cringe at the time he’s literally totally insane with rage by game 3.

To me the pinnacle of “Needlessly Mean, Edgelord Violence” was Journey to the West or whatever, when there’s an innocent guy dangling from a cliff and Monkey just kicks him off for no reason. Never have I been so immediately alienated from a character, gently caress that game.

Raytracing is one of those features where the actual effect is subtle and more of a holistic kind of thing that you really need to spend some time analyzing to appreciate. But it's easy to slap RAY TRACED GRAPHICS on the box like it's this generation's version of blast processing.

If PS5 really wanted to universally improve image quality and performance they'd invest in an adaptive sync solution. That is an immediate and unmistakeable game changer when you have a monitor capable of it.

True, but only in virtue that raycasting is on some "state of the art" level where they have achieved almost raytracing quality, so using actual raytracing feels somewhat pointless.

heres some raytracing examples

I use to do raytracing in the 90's with Povray, it was easy make something amazing, it was hard to make something that pass for a everyday item.

Yeah, if you want to have both a realistic art style and portrayals of violent and disturbing things you don't have a lot of options.

So long as you just use the crime scene photos as reference and don't literally insert them into your game like the Brutal Doom guy did once.

I also don’t have a morale roadblock for murdering a traveling band of rape-bandits, which TLoU always go out of their way to establish. Extreme hyper-violence in games is something I can enjoy. There isn’t really room in my gaming appetites for creepy anime games about teaching school girls the right way to fold my laundry or whatever.

Kratos literally does this in the opening of either GOW 1 or 2. A guy is innocently dangling and you can kill him for extra currency.

I started noticing it in Fallout 3 and I'll never be ok with enemy characters begging for their life. Characters that scream "Please don't kill me!!" when you hit them is just gross. Especially when you can't do anything BUT kill them. Fallout, Far Cry, Skyrim all have bad guys that plead for their life as they continue to attack you. Or run away for a few seconds but return to try to kill you so you have to actually chase down people begging for their life to kill them so they won't attack you 4 seconds later.
I can do without that poo poo.

I think that guy is required because later on when you wind up in hell you can find the same guy('s soul) dangling from a ledge in the same way and kick him off again.

This happens in Prototype too, if you take out a helicopter and send it spiraling down in flames you can hear over the comms the pilot shouting stuff like "Strap in, I don't think we're gonna make it!" in a panicky voice before it crashes and explodes. No other enemy type does that and it's really jarring in a game that otherwise encourages you to kill the everloving poo poo out of those same soldiers because they're monsters committing war crimes.

In most cases I agree, but it works in Borderlands for some reason. “STOP SHOOTING I SURRENDER :byodood:” followed by a hail of bullets is way more silly than unnerving thanks to the goofy delivery.
