Mario Odyssey’s luigis balloon world. Spent a lot of time on that

Psn requirement sucks, but it is a sequel to a game not a spin off. It’s a full length story, new and refreshed mechanics and upgraded engine etc. I don’t see how this is worth less than the first game.

The hardware that the switch is based on is much older than the switch itself, so it’s likely we’ll get this level of performance for the next switch.

Not sure where you heard this, but a galaxy s24 definitely cannot match the performance of a PS5

Shareholder wants that yummy fictional market share numbers and harvested user information.

Skyrim was good because sandbox, music, culture and mood. The parts that made it bad, were endearing.

Publishers are kinda useless tbh.

Ue5 has powerful procgen tech that is used by a lot of developers.

I think it depends on context and execution and culture. Key and peele did a black Hitler I think, and nobody cared

When you’re reliant on every penny you make, having part of your paycheck going towards a union can seem like a bad decision at face value.

Optimisation is hard, especially when it’s an afterthought. SMO was built from the ground up for the switch. Just like zelda. The switch is not a powerful console.

Sly Cooper on the ps5 is emulated, not a native port. I’ve played some of the emulated Sony games on ps4 and they do not run very well, because the ps4 has to run an emulator and the game, instead of just running natively.

Letting people who only have modern consoles and don’t know how to work computers properly play a game sounds like a good thing to me. Also additional QoL changes can fully transform a game from a tedious mess to actually playable and fun. That’s the best part about a remake. You don’t have to buy it if you don’t want it :)

Native ports, when done well, are just better man. It can make better use of resources and runs in a well supported ecosystem. Emulators are great but not ideal for experiencing games. It also puts a wall up for people to access games. The more people that can play the game the better.

The game is only currently playable on ps3/x360. Makes sense to at least port it to newer platforms. Emulation is rarely an ideal or stable solution.

Yeah you may be right. PS5 controller fits much better for me and the weight is nice. Ps4 controller hurts my hands with prolonged use as it is so small. Build quality on the ps5 is nicer too.

Do you have an example? Drm free is one of their selling points.

No need to use the app at all. The games on there are drm free. Run the game any way you want. That said, I like gog galaxy cos it keeps all the games I own on every platform together, and I use the search function to find the game I want and hit play. Or just hit view all and browse.

Would be good to see gog get more popular. Fuck drm
