The new consoles are selling plenty well enough and it’s high time we get games exclusive to the current generation and leave the old one behind. Developing for both is holding a lot of games back in a lot of ways - I’m kinda worried that stuff like the next HZD will be compromised so that it runs on the by-then 9…

Here’s where I feel smug about keeping all of my video games and consoles I’ve ever owned lol

Even 90% of Aliens the movie is slow, atmospheric, one on one terror rather than shootemup anything.

You should probably watch the movie again. 

Do you have this much difficulty following a conversation normally? This one is about Alien franchise games, not the survival horror genre in general. You seem aggressively stupid.

I play PS4 games off my external hdd all the time and they get all the benefits, they just don’t load much faster than they did on ps4. Since very few ps4 games are actually optimized for the PS5 ssd, there’s hardly any gain when switching to the internal ssd for them anyway.

That’s only in the later-released extended cut of Aliens btw. They don’t come across as so much easy fodder in the original, better cut.

I’m literally 39, I just don’t think any of the games before Isolation were great. Glad you decided to make a dumb assumption and try being clever though lol

I’m 100% sure they mean that you’ll be controlling the camera with the right stick, instead of with the L1 + R1 buttons like on the originals, which feels horrendous to go back to nowadays.

I actually know more than you about the technical issues involved, but you wouldn’t be able to tell that from my snarky comment, would you? It seems you are the one having the emotional response and making silly assumptions :) 

I’m just glad that nintendo has so many fans willing to do free PR for them on any article with even a hint of negativity about their hardware.

I love how even five years later, I still see a version of this comment on every article about the game. 

This might be my game of the generation, last gen. Definitely the one I’ve played most, since I’ve spent 50ish hours every year with another couple updates that made it a vastly improved and expanded experience. I liked it day one, it was just my kinda thing, but it’s incredible how much *more* it is nowadays. No…

Having just rewatched the original Top Gun, which absolutely rocks still, I’m both kind of excited to see an incredibly belated sequel... and also pretty sure it won’t come close to the greatness of the original, seeing as Tony Scott has left this plane of existence.

Imagine thinking that they just happened to decide to tie in with a massive blockbuster movie release, and that it wasn’t an executive level negotiation between two media behemoths. Like, it’s not cynical to just be realistic about how business works.

Spot on with respect to movies. Unfortunately the film industry is missing a major component it used to have: midbudget movies that were more adventurous than the family friendly blockbusters yet had enough $ to actually do some things that the indies simply can’t achieve. Same with gaming, and it’s a huge loss. It’s…

I had no idea people were still holding on to that. They trolled and some folks took the bait. I feel like it’s perfectly fine to have as an emote in a game centered on visual communication between alien races since the more popular understanding of the gesture is gonna be the one most people think of :)

How is the universally understood “ok” sign a yikes thing?

I like the exploration aspect too and have been in the game since day one, but I find it extremely easy to just ignore the animal taming, base building aspects and continue doing what I enjoy doing in the game, especially since there are new vehicles and shit to use :)
