there have been some cheapo indie sword games with more or less own-hit-kills (or injures), but nothing polished

if you have a ps4 get ghost of tsushima and play it on high difficulty

squish'em and balloon challenge are fine as they are so they don't need new versions and the rest of the old games that were any good are still being copied.

gimme more levels for the Puzzle Mode in Landmaker, tho.

that sounds hard though and I'm bad at video games

realtalk, thanks for the tip! I wanna get that, but it's hard to get violent PS4 games because the time where I can play them is so limited (I don't really want little jones to see people getting stabbed or w/e).

xbox is hugehot

quote:

We're just over a month from the launch of the Xbox Series X, but if you're thinking of buying one here's a word of warning: it runs hot.

That's according to journalist Ken Bogard from French video games site Jeux Video (courtesy of VGC). In a video, Bogard praised the Series X's quiet running, but expressed surprise at how hot the console got.

"The Series X is hot, like really hot!" Bogard said in the video. "It doesn’t make any noise, but drat it’s hot! The console is emitting heat like crazy. It’s almost like a fireplace shaft. You can heat up your flat with it."

The video has since been removed from Twitch with no explanation.

The claim was backed up by Giant Bomb co-host Jeff Bakalar. In a separate video, he said his console was releasing a lot of heat even in standby mode. He also appeared to burn his hand on its storage expansion.
If you watch the ps5 teardown fully 50% of the volume of the thing is fans and ducting so this isn't shocking but nobody's mentioned that about the ps5, maybe the extra 4 tflops the xbox has weren't worth it?

Those are all review units sent out to YouTube Professional Thing Likers, so the thermal throttling is probably severely restricted or outright disabled to boost the apparent performance of the system in order to generate maximum YouTube Reaction Face

Naturally these review units will die inside of a month from the resulting thermal stresses, the actual retail units probably maintain a more realistic thermal envelope.

Anyway lol if you buy a console and double lol if you buy a launch unit to play launch titles.

ps now is a streaming service for certain ps2, ps3 and ps4 games. some of the ps4 (and maybe some of the ps2?) titles you can download to your hard drive and they play more or less like ps+ titles do. accessible until the sub ends or, for certain (AAA) titles, until they rotate off the service after a couple months

it's not gamepass but could easily become a gamepass competitor if sony feels threatened

launch titles now are just fancier versions of titles currently in development with the invisible graphics sliders moved up a notch. it's not like 15+ years ago when the hardware was completely redesigned every few years and everyone had to restart from square one

i would like new ps5 just to play my ps4 games with less load times. not badly enough to get one any sooner than “easily, at costco” sometime in 2021

Do not buy any game released in October, November, or December unless you want to beta-test rushed buggy crunchtime trash.

Possibly buy games released last October.
