I’m genuinely saddened that this attitude is so pervasive these days. This push for longer games is bloating games and budgets alike. People still hold games like Silent Hill 2, Onimusha or Metal Gear Solid in high regard…guess how long those are?

If you’re playing Assassin’s Creed on Series X this is a fantastic demonstration of why VRR matters. Without it, there’s plenty of screen tearing and dips but if your TV supports VRR + 120hz, it basically looks flawless to the eye. This will become important this gen.

I feel for the developers building launch titles for next-gen - there's an unusually high amount of negativity flying around. Hitting launch is extremely difficult. This season, be kind to those building the games you might play - even if they aren't necessarily to your taste.

This is extremely disappointing. It was this broad spectrum of games created around the world that defined the first two PlayStation consoles. The shift towards mainstream Western developed gaming exclusively is 👎

Oh, it's worth putting to bed the HDMI nonsense from earlier this week. The PS5 HDMI cable is 2.1 compliant and supports 4K120 HDR. I've tested this cable on Xbox Series X and a 3090 GPU and it works as intended on all three. So, yeah, no problems there.

This whole situation is so bizarre to me as the new consoles are fantastic. We have so many 60fps (or higher games), they're mostly beautiful and polished. Folks should be super happy right now.

TIL - a not insignificant number of people thought we used the built in recording functions on consoles. That tells me I should do a video or stream covering our workflow at some point to explain what we’re doing! Who’d like to see something like that?

Is anyone actually...really enjoying Assassin’s Creed this year? I dropped off after 8 hours. Now just playing Demon’s Souls and Yakuza 7 and enjoying them a lot more.

Insomniac has delivered. The game is great, it’s polished and uses its technology to enhance gameplay in new ways.

The discourse today has been interesting, to say the least. 😅 I think we’ll need to help folks understand that games can become bottlenecked for a multitude of reasons unrelated to resolution.

Stopped by Media Markt for the first time since the new consoles launched. Not a single Series X or PS5 to be found but they did have a lot of Series S units with multiple aisles like this. Above that? Boxed PC games!

Working on a Demon’s Souls vid comparing the game with the original - I love doing these types of comparisons the most just to see how things have changed. Using an old phat PS3, though, and it is LOUD.
