PlayStation Official PS | PS Studios Megathread, v.8

I really like the art style and colors in this, it's very otherworldly. It reminds of the strong/clean contrasting palette of Mirror's edge, easy on the eyes. It has some cool lore too, something I always love.

I was never big into games like Destiny and Warframe. I'm not sure what the genre is called, but I don't like repeating the same missions over and over again, but both had cool lore, and from an FPS controls point of view, Destiny is one of the best IMO.

If they're going to do a PVE/PVP thing, I'm glad they didn't make another Destiny. Arc Raiders sounds really cool to me, is it going to play like that?

Pretty sure that’s exactly how it plays conceptually including enviro hazards but with dedicated classes for team composition + strat, something people are saying makes Marathon play feel unique, deep. Thief class looks absolutely gangster, for example.

I delight in the game palette too. Crazy pop and flare. The cinematics and universe + interior details (of rooms and lighting) have been off the charts creative, too.

What’s up with all this talk about Sony not porting games to PC anymore? This because of the Xbox handheld playing PS games via Steam? Maybe it’s about protecting their IP from competition and also poor PC sales overall? Wouldn’t be upset my that. Maybe the Nintendo model is the best. Cut down on budgets for games and rely on sales through loyal PS customers. Saros costing 70 million and ghost of Yotei 80 million is probably a safe spot to make a great looking game without fear of needing to sell a 5 million copies to break even. I would support this move honestly. Just can’t be doing many 200 plus million games unless it’s god of war or spidey

I think Jason Schreier recently said Sony is aiming to put the genie back in the bottle, essentially, further entrenching PS dominance in what’s already been working. Now it’s trending.

I just hope the traversal and gunplay are good or it’s a pass from me! ^

Anyone going to try Marathon? Server slam is up. Over 120,000 players on Steam already within an hour. That’s a pretty good sign. Hope the servers are stable. It would be nice for Sony to have a big hit after Concord failure

Yep going to try it out after I get off work. Watched a stream and it looks just like arc raiders while solving all the problems I had with Arc Raiders.

Yea looks like this is happening everyone is confirming now. The guy who leaked Xbox going full third party and releasing a hybrid PC console before anyone else also claimed it's happening. Live service stuff will still go but big SP titles are off the table. We will know for sure if they don't announce Yotei by next year.

From what the leakers said sales have been lackluster and they just aren't seeing the draw to their games that they wanted while taking a hit to the value of their console. I'm sure Xbox's upcoming hybrid and the Steam machine also helped push this decision as well.

pretty much every streamer whether they like it or not has complimented the gunplay. Which isn't surprising. Bungie's gunplay hasn't been beat IMO.

Downloading Server Slam now! 21GB. I’m so excited but have to go to bed for work. Will warp in tomorrow.

O, heck yes. How do I take advantage of this in Requiem? What console-level or game-level mode and/or settings do I need toggle?

I'm actually not sure about that.


One thing I just noticed though is the new PSSR can be applied all games that use PSSR in the update coming March. I wonder if Saros will use the new PSSR? I wont be playing or buying any games that don't have the new PSSR until the March update at this point.

We look forward to more news in March, when multiple existing games upgrade to the improved PSSR. There will also be a system software update at that time; selecting “Enhance PSSR Image Quality” in Settings on PS5 Pro will allow you to experience the new PSSR with any PS5 Pro games that currently support PSSR!

I think it’s patched into the game and is default. Game looks among the best I’ve played on the Pro. Going forward to March there will be an option in the settings to turn the upgraded PSSR on or off with a toggle.
 
Played Marathon a lot last night and fell in love with it. I liked this game way more than I thought I would. It pretty much fixes all the issues I had with Arc Raiders. The world and the vibe is just so great. The AI can be brutal. These games work way better with hero classes IMO.

The TTK can be very low but it's because you're weak at first and it wont stay that way as you get stronger and get more shields. I'm going to be dumping in a bunch of time to this over the weekend to reach level 30 and get all the rewards before release.

Stupid question but I keep dying at my first exfil. How long do you have to load and be in proximity? I get overrun with mobs and it’s pretty tough. The shield mechanic feels so good and so do the weapons. Boom Hammer bass and crisp audio.

I'm actually not to sure I think you have to wait and circle will pop up. That's when you want to get in it. Even when you are downed you can still be teleported out. I almost died on the tutorial but escaped while I crawled on the floor. The AI bots are punishing in this game, I really prefer it over Arc which has AI bots that are way to easy IMO.

Also run with a squad if you can. Even randoms. It's just more fun IMO.

I just had so much fun. Awesome firefight. Warped out while getting swarmed in that vortex contraption. I’m very impressed.

Why are there no x, y axis sens sliders or am I missing them? I need my sens way up (it’s how I like to play).

Are Thief and Rook locked for Server Slam?
 
I preordered Marathon. I like the art and the general vibe. I’m confused as fuck but I’m willing to learn. I dropped money mainly because I want to dedicate this time to RE9. I don’t think I’ll be able to put it down until I complete it. Only played the first hour but I’m hooked. When I wrap it up I’ll be able to dedicate time to Marathon.
 
Also how good is everyone feeling about buying a Pro? With this update coming up, the delay of PS6 and the increase of prices it just feels like one of the best choices I’ve made in recent memory. I’m so happy I’ll get to play Saros and Pragmata at launch with the updated PSSR
