Is this for real?
No, Returnal is coming to PC soonish

The list is also missing 2 Final Fantasy games only announced for PS5 as of yet.

Returnal was "found" in the Steam DB listings under another name some time ago, IIRC.  So nothing new there apart from rumblings that a release date will be announced soon.

So basically PS5 is the PS4ProPro and the XBox Series X is just the One XX. What's the point of these things again?

Ease of use is one of the main reasons I guess. Overall I'm really happy with my Xbox Series X, every game runs, looks and sounds better than it did on the One X.
Between next-gen games, Xbox One games and backwards compatibility with the 360/OG Xbox the library is just insane.

PC gaming is getting close to the console experience for console type games but there's still a few things that need fixing:
- Switching screens or selecting screens in multi-screen set-ups (it works 90% of the time)
- Switching audio devices and audio support (things like Dolby Atmos)
- HDR support (the Windows HDR implementation is still rather poor)
- Switching between storefronts and carrying over settings
- 4K Blu-Ray support and native apps for streaming services that don't run in browsers

I feel like the Steamdeck is teaching Valve the lessons they need in order to make any Steam PC experience as flawless as the Xbox Series X experience.

I'm sorta tempted by an XSX for 4k blu ray + backwards compatible stuff that isn't on PC.

Not at current prices though.

Also, I'm hoping that within a few years Xenia will be better for backwards compatibility than XSX (i.e PGR 3/4 pls  :P)

Consoles will only cost more in the future with this inflation.

The souped up new versions will be more expensive than the current models.

If anyone wants to try the Skate 4 cracked build

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-Oum219UrlLOSo4tOWuCC9AhGg-bf07n/view

 :o

I found out bc EA basically said hey dont download our Skate 4 cracked build  :lol

https://www.gamesradar.com/ea-asks-skate-4-fans-not-to-download-cracked-playtest-confirming-the-cracked-playtest-is-real/

Quote
"We’re aware of an earlier version of the game that has been distributed without our authorization," the devs say in the announcement(opens in new tab). "This build is from September 2021 and was never intended for external use. While we understand you’re excited to get into the game, we encourage you to be careful when downloading files from unknown sources (and remind you of the potential consequences of breaking EA’s Terms of Service)."

Works like a charm for me, but yeah its untextured city but its fun to skate around for a bit

Thinking about starting over in game dev since I'm not too far in and switching to UE5.0 instead of Unity. Everyone keeps saying Unity is focused on the wrong things going forward (making money and less about people making good games with Unity) and that this is all a result of Unity making their stock public so short terms gains > long term stability and growth.

Definitely concerned about spending a year or more learning Unity only for it to fall apart in the new few years and have to start all over with Unreal.

I wouldn't feel too bad about it because after learning Unity a bunch of stuff in Unreal will feel stupidly easy. 5's even more straightforward in a lot of ways than 4 was. The amount of progress they make with UE constantly while EGS remains unchanged is pretty funny.

Riccitiello is the guy who left EA to form an equity fund with Bono, then combined Bioware and Pandemic under his fund, then left the fund to go back to run EA who then immediately bought Bioware-Pandemic for $560 million more than the fund had paid two years earlier, then closed Pandemic completely a year later after cancelling every game they tried to develop except The Sabotuer because it was too far along, then EA's board asked him to resign because he had destroyed their stock price.

Besides 'I need to charge X amount for my game", not every game needs monitization... Plenty of great SP games that have no extra monitization besides the initial purchase. Also John Riccotello is an ass.

10 more games were revealed for the Japanese version, including Final Fight CD.

https://www.nintendolife.com/guides/mega-drive-mini-2-games-list-every-genesis-and-sega-cd-game-announced

And it is an Amazon exclusive for now since the first one didn't sell well.

Does anyone have the NeoGeo Arcade Stick Pro? Amazon has it on sale for $100 and I'm tempted.

I bet you've definitely played more than I have  :heh  Playing in VR is so damn fascinating, but the tediousness of crafting is too time consuming for me.  I guess you upgrade stuff to have machines do that for you eventually, but not sure if I'll ever get there.  :doge

When did they claim that though? All I heard was wishful thinking from Sony fanboys. On Naughty Dogs press release:

We’ve implemented modernized gameplay, improved controls, and expanded accessibility options in this single-player experience to allow even more individuals to enjoy the game. Effects, exploration, and combat have all been enhanced. Leveraging the PS5’s powerful hardware, we also implemented 3D Audio*, haptics, and adaptive triggers. Both returning fans and new players alike will have the opportunity to experience both The Last of Us Part I and its prequel story Left Behind in a whole new way.

"Modernized gameplay" combined with Druckman saying

"brand new AI and like all the combat has been redone..."



True though that the sony fans probably played that more up than they should have. ND was probably also a bit calculating by not showing any gameplay in the trailer
