Notice how he only says "Current Gen" systems, yet leaves out Next Gen ones... hmm

Muzikguy1554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

If it's not on PS5 I won't be playing it. I'd love to check it out though as I'm a fan of the other games.

CorndogBurglar1554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

It'll come out on PS5.
1. They would be completely stupid not to put it on consoles.
2. Both Divinity Original Sin games came out of consoles.

It makes nothing but sense for this to be on consoles.l as well as PC. It might get a delayed console release, like the Divinity games did. But it will definitely be on consoles.

FullDiveDerail1554d ago

it will come out on PS4 and PS5 ...he just doenst know about Sonys and Microsofts Best Played on Campaign yet

steven_seagull1554d ago

Totally didnt notice that, because I was like ".....dont think current-gen consoles would be bla bla bla" whaaaaat and then I was like oh yeah then yeah what about next gen ones hmm so like totally with you there man hmmm

1554d ago
Lighter91554d ago

Yep. That's why I've been holding off commenting about it.

CorndogBurglar1554d ago

The gameplay does have really nice graphics, but it doesn't look like anything a PS4 couldn't run.

But regardless, Larian released both Divinity Original Sin games on consoles. I have a hard time believing this wouldn't come to consoles. Whether it's this gen or next gen. And really, what does it matter? The game won't launch until after the next gen systems are out anyway.

CaptainHenry9161554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

He probably meant to say next gen since that's what he was asked

porkChop1554d ago

Huh? He didn't "leave out" next gen consoles, quite the opposite. He was specifically asked if the game does come to console, if it would be next gen only. His full response:

"Mmhmm! I don't think that current-gen consoles would be able to run it. There's a lot of technical upgrades and updates that we did to our engine, and I don't know if it would be capable of being able to actually run on those things.

Maybe it could run, but then we would have to tone down the textures and this and that and it wouldn't look as cool anymore."

dumahim1554d ago

He left out previous gen systems as well. Double hmm!

You could almost think that making crossgen games instead of nextgen exclusives would hold the games back!

Atom6661554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

"Maybe it could run, but then we would have to tone down the textures and this and that and it wouldn't look as cool anymore."

Doesn't sound like it's due to its game design or anything that the current systems couldn't run. It sounds like it would just be graphical downgrades.

Engine issues may be the bigger issue like he mentions, but if DOS2 can run on Switch...

Kumakai1554d ago (Edited 1554d ago )

That’s a misnomer. Game engines are pretty scalable. We do it all the time at work to scale real-time projects. It’s a matter of swapping level of detail target assets, cpu load tiers (fidelity of cpu based operations) and target resolutions, antialiasing setting a and other effects post process. You can even run scripts to select this stuff automatically based on a hardware Id or config.

Tross1554d ago

If only new systems were coming out soon...

Days Gone Director Says Bend's Project Costs Over $250M; Says PS Co-CEO Doesn't Want 2 Zombies Games

Days Gone director claims Sony has already poured in at least a $250M in Bend's project; says Days Gone sold more than Death Stranding.

shinoff218319h ago

Well that sucks. Seems they want more online trash. I'd rather of had the sequel if it was single player

MrNinosan4h ago

What online trash games did PS Studios release last 10 years?

Notellin2h ago

The past has nothing to do with the future. This is such a terrible argument. Everyone knows about their current live service push.

_SilverHawk_1h ago

It's so tragic what happened to days gone. It is such an amazing game but bandwagoners trashed it and it underperformed in it's launch year. Days gone is the best open world zombie game released in the past five years. I was recently playing it on pc and I'm still amazed by it.

Games are very expensive to make and it seems like it's normal for a AAA game to cost over a quarter billion to make so if a quality game like days gone greatly underperforms then people shouldn't be upset when they see a lot of GAAS. I still remember a lot of bandwagoners calling days gone trash but years later it's now amazing when it's considered a failure by sony.

If a game isn't the best thing seen since hats with pockets then a lot of gamers who haven't played it automatically calls it rubbish and whoever made it should be incarcerated

Cacabunga29m ago(Edited 28m ago)

Co CEO prefers gamers to boycott.. so be it. I’ll never buy a gaas.
Just imagine buying a game you cannot replay in some years.. this shit must stop.

Days Gone did zombies in a very original way. The story was also so engaging. You actually only meet Zombie hordes later in the game. There are many more enemy groups to deal with.

-Foxtrot19h ago

It would be a shame if it was true that Hermen never gave the franchise a chance simply because he didn't like it and they already had a "Zombie" game with TLOU.

NaughtyDog are most likely moving onto a new IP next so it would have been the perfect time to do it.

ThinkThink11h ago

Here's where xbox steps in and releases state of decay 3 day and date on ps5.

Grilla4h ago

Days gone 2 was canceled before Herman was in charge. That happened like 4 years ago.

vfl5233h ago

4 years ago he was head of Playstation Studios. He would've probably had a hand in the cancelation.

Notellin2h ago

Man two seconds of research could have saved you from this comment. Amazing work Grilla you fit in with the uniformed N4G community who speaks before verifying anything that they say.

Redemption-641h ago

Maybe encourage people to buy the game at full price and not when it's heavily discounted or go on plus. If this game had sold well when it was full priced a sequel would have been in the works. They made a single-player game that most people didn't support until they dropped the price.

Cacabunga10m ago

The guy’s just a moron.. he should have stayed within game development. His choices will have a terrible impact on the brand in the long run.

excaliburps5h ago

Yep. Kind of weird since it wasn't a sales flop, no?

I know we have to take what Ross says with a grain of salt since we're hearing just one side of the story, but even so, the game wasn't bad at all. Heck, it's my brother's favorite last-gen game from what I recall.

The amount of zombies on screen, imagine that with the PS5 and SSD? That would be insanely fun!

Grilla4h ago

Most copies were sold on sale. Not enough ppl bought it at full price. I paid 20$ for it 6 -7 months after release.

Notellin2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Yeah we should never believe the creators side until we hear the corporate/big business side as history has shown we should always believe billion dollar corporations.

What a bootlicker statement.

P_Bomb5h ago

Well I don’t want 10 live service games, but they have no problem doing that lol. Ugh.

CrimsonWing694h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Oh great so we only get what the big wigs want… y’know, the people that really have their fingers on the pulse of what their consumers want. Faaaaantastic!

rippermcrip1h ago

Well consider they know the sales... they do know what the consumer wants.

It sold shit.

Can FSR 3 frame generation deliver the 120fps dream on PS5 and Xbox?

Frame generation technology has arrived on consoles, amplifying frame-rates and potentially transforming experiences.

purple10122h ago

adds between 8.3-15.3 milliseconds of latency on the game they tested, - no thanks

darksky4h ago

Base latency is 130.8ms and frame gen takes that up to 139.1ms. A 7% increase in latency is hardly a deal breaker.

Zenzuu4h ago

That's hardly a deal breaker and not really noticeable. Even the folks at Digital Foundry said so as well.

darthv7222h ago

Impressive results... sadly I don't have a 120hz display. I was thinking this technique could increase fps on any game that supports it regardless of the display.

purple10122h ago(Edited 22h ago)

I have a vrr telly in the lounge,

On another point, what if it were the other way around where the developer aims for higher fps, then used something like pssr to make the resolution higher, that might be better?

Any which way, PS5 pro sure looks interesting now, being they have already doubled frame rate, with JUST just this fsr3.0

sagapo3h ago

It’s up to dev’s to implement FSR 3 support tho but most probably will I guess (hope).

andy854h ago

Now I've extensively tried it I'm not too fussed about 120 fps. Give me a locked 60 and more details and I'm more than happy

i didnt even know there was a leak ha.

Profchaos5h ago

Wasn't a short detailed leak about 12 hours prior it was hey there's going to be a astro bot a VR game and a few other things specified but massively underwhelming leak tbh

Goodguy011d 3h ago

Was it really worth it? Oof

Profchaos5h ago

For this state of play not at all

Relientk771d ago

This is news to me. I had no idea the games from the State of Play got leaked.

Jin_Sakai16h ago

I seen the list posted and instantly got excited for Astro Bot. Everything else was meh.

CrimsonWing6916h ago

I’m pretty sure leaks or not, by the end of the show people will still be disappointed. The only highlight for me was MH: Wilds… everything else was mid to forgettable. Hope them HaaS games you got lined up really work out for you, Sony. Everyone asking for Bloodborne Remake, Wolverine, and, uh, well other games like that could’ve made this epic. Instead we get Concord, some derivative Souls-like games, that were fine looking, and a Silent Hill 2 Remake with horrible character designs and janky combat animations… great.

rayford1516h ago

I wasn’t disappointed it was a solid B

TOTSUKO13h ago

For a State of play it was actually alright. People are overshadowing it because they want to cancel Sony to high hell for Gaas which is not fair for the other devs who revealed great looking games that were just shown. I get it you don’t like gaas don’t buy it. If it sells well good for the people who had interest no big deal? If you are a PlayStation fan what’s wrong with PlayStation trying to cater every gamer? I don’t understand that smh

ravens5215h ago

Where Winds Meet and Ballad of Antara both looked good. Not to mention Astro Bot. It was a decent show. For me personally it was a 7. I'm sure to some people it was actually really good cause they'd play all those games. 🤷🏽 Personal taste

MrNinosan13h ago

I wasn't dissapointed.
And no, everyone doesn't want a Bloodborne Remake. There is probably very few who's actually asking for it, but the ones who do are loud on internet.

CrimsonWing6913h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Oh, my mistake. It’s definitely not one of the most requested games when it comes to remakes with news stories talking about it 🙄

https://comicbook.com/gamin...

https://www.gamingbible.com...

https://www.yahoo.com/tech/...

https://gamerant.com/fromso...

Silly me. It’s just a very few that are actually wanting it…

MrNinosan6h ago

@CrimsonWings69
And you just proved what I wrote.

If Bloodborne was remestered or remade, it would still sell less than Final Fantasy XVI or VII Rebirth, probably be called a great succes from it's core fans, but most wouldn't care.

I love Bloodborne, I want a new release of it, but it's niche and has sold crap compared to most of Playstation Studios bigger titles.

Astro Bot will sell and mean more to Playstation than a Bloodborne Remake.
