This would be my ideal version of No Mans Sky that I would actually play. Ditch crafting and mining almost entirely. That poo poo sucks and isn't fun and is the main reason I don't want to play it. maybe let you gather a few things to craft, basic stuff like ammo and health... . Then take all of the bajillions of upgrades, new items, weapons etc and hide them around planets. As well as stuff like new ships etc. Let me track them and go find them myself. Hide them in caves, under oceans, make a dungeon out of it, put obstacles in the way like enemies or just something I have to get through to get there. Then it's change the gameplay loop to I need x thing to get Y thing. I.e "I want to get this cool gun, but it's buried in an ocean, to get there I need to have a scuba suit or submarine, to get that I need a rock breaking laser because the scuba suit in a cave... Then you have a gameplay loop that is closer to an open world metroidvania that actually gives you something to do and makes exploration distinctly rewarding, vs just sitting in front of a rock for ten minutes until your inventory is full and dreaming about how you might someday make something useful out of it. Also make the dogfighting at least half way fun while you are at it, Murray. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Dec 15, 2020 |

No Man’s Sky at least had the excuse of being a tiny dev team who lost a significant amount of work in a flood, and then they added in all the poo poo they promised in free patches.

I know it's a common-ish thing, although I'm starting to suspect it's a hardware fault that needs RMAing: anyone else unable to play either Spider-Man game in either Fidelity or Performance RT mode? I had some trouble when I first got the PS5 but got SOME game sequences in Fidelity at the time, but now if I put either game into a mode other than basic "Performance" it crashes immediately. At first I was under the impression that it was a bug related to external drives and/or active downloads, but it also happens without those hooked up.

Would probably try delete and reinstall, then maybe do a full system wipe/reset if that fails. Otherwise yeah sounds like RMA.

My only issue so far between Fidelity and Performance on PS5 is that in Demon's Souls Performance mode seems to cause a more noticable coil whine from the console whereas Fidelity is pretty dang quiet. But DeS in 60fps is so glorious  I'm sure I mostly hear it because I sit rather close to my console and tv, but also because the PS5 fan noise is so quiet that the other noises it makes tend to stand out more if I'm playing with the tv volume low. Kinda hoping the coil whine fixes itself or some firmware comes along and takes care of it because when I'm playing a PS4 game or sitting on the XMB the console is dreadfully quiet by comparison.

A flood? What’s the story there? That would honestly be awful. I only ever tried NMS years after it was released and it was fun to play. More than the inch deep that is Elite Dangerous. I couldn’t keep up with the collection grinding needed without the item duplication glitch that they patched out. My understanding is they’ve added campaigns and a huge amount of other world building stuff in DLC. Still, I remember the community was so incredibly upset at launch.

Wild that a game that has been out for years is in better shape technically than one that just came out last week? The threshold for a wild is pretty low on the Internet these days.

Well, considering that Witcher 3 was never designed to run on Switch hardware while Cyberpunk was designed for most of its development time to run on the PS4, I think it kind of is.

Samurai Sanders posted:It was? I assumed that the PC version was the top priority in development and the console versions were an afterthought. That’s how CDPR has always been right? And the Witcher 3 on Switch is legitimately magic, it's crazy how well it runs. And the port was done by a third-party studio, too! It's genuinely really impressive.

Is it ever worth buying a ps5 "used" from "Amazon Warehouse" on the amazon website which is sometimes listed on their ps5 pages? They give like an ~$80 discount, but list large cosmetic problems with the packaging. Can you return if it's defective?

I also feel like launch day third party ports are usually a recipe for disaster. Arkham Knight's PC launch (courtesy of Iron Galaxy) was a complete nightmare that resulted in the game being removed from sale.

Well after a month of PlayStation support hell trying to get my non-working Bluetooth repaired, I finally got my replacement PS5 (they told me it was "repaired" but I checked the serial number against my old one and it's different now). It only took like 6 support calls over 2 weeks, and then 1 more week of waiting for a box, which they sent to the wrong address, then waiting for it to come back, they still sent it to the wrong address after I called to correct it, but luckily my local fed ex people are on the ball and got it to me today, and everything is working fine so far *clenches butthole and looks at the sky.* But yeah man, I guess when you're a company that has a monopoly on the games people want to play, you can have your support team be a bunch of useless idiots. All of the above, plus being shut down by chat support and twitter and not being able to get someone on the phone for the first week, and having the first guy tell me to just wait for a software update. What a drat runaround. At least this story has a happy ending.

The quality of a port almost always comes down to time and budget, just like every other part of development. If an internal team gets gently caress all time and budget to do a particular platform then it'll turn out just as poorly as an external team. My teams have made some of the definitive versions of the games we've ported as an external developer when the publisher has really wanted to invest in them, and have had to deal with some really hosed up horrible poo poo and had to make the most of it when they haven't. Given enough time or documentation or dev access you can learn the ins and outs of any engine. I will say though that a lot of the time the original developer has zero interest in doing a port themselves, outside of maybe that one crazy guy in the engine team that wants to do it basically for fun but nobody else wants to go near it. Which works pretty well for me.

Given what happened with most of his games, especially the most recent, I'm really hoping his next game is about a nice normal life with no global-impacting events whatsoever  .
