It wasn’t that there were no tools to make them backwards compatible, it is just that the PSVR1 used outdated hardware even by standards when it released. PSVR1 uses an external camera and processing box to track colored lights on the controllers and headset, while the PSVR2 uses cameras on the headset and built in…

I think to look at what a PS5 Pro could do you have to look at the leaps between PS4 > PS4 Pro > PS5. PS4 Pro introduced 4K gaming as well as allowed games to have both a Quality checkerboard 4K 30 FPS mode and a Performance 1080 60 FPS mode. Then when the PS5 came out, those same PS4 games were able to be played in…

Going to go into spoilers here so if you don’t want to know how the game’s story goes stop reading here.

Not Nora.  It is Victoria Fires, a female version of Victor from another universe.  Not sure why they aren’t doing Nora but whatever, I think she could be a cool character.

In game it is revealed that the current squad is the 3rd iteration of Task Force X that was sent in to deal with the Justice League/Brainiac.  All of them died, except Deathstroke who survived without Waller knowing and he is planned for the Season 4 character.

Shhh! That doesn’t fit the author’s narrative/personal bias.

You might want to check your math. The Flash has made $270 Million at the box office on a reported $220 million budget, while the Marvels is currently at $188 million on a reported $278 million budget. Sure it could go up more but not likely to make more than the Flash and definitely not more than its budget. The…

I would also add Big Finish’s “The Light at the End” for the 50th anniversary as it is notable for being the first story Tom Baker properly stars in as the 4th Doctor in a multi Doctor story.  Also for the 60th this year there is the multi part story “Once and Future” that has the Doctor degenerating between past and…

I don’t think these large games should stop being a thing just because we are older and have less free time. You mention that 10 years ago you had the time to play a game like this with Skyrim, so what about all the people that are 10 years younger then us now? Maybe the truth is we aren’t the target audience anymore…

The Joker and Freddy Krueger are rapists and both are in Mortal Kombat (and technically Alien if you count forced inter species impregnation). Then there are the villains of Dead by Daylight. None of them are Nazis, and again Homelander isn’t as he simply doesn’t care about the human race at all to deal with racism,…

So Kotaku likes Critical Role now?  Wasn’t too long ago there was basically a manifesto length article about how this group of friends was too white and that they should kick people out of their game so they could replace them with token POC representation.

According to the developers Sony didn’t lock Spider-Man to just one console, as in the developers weren’t going to include him in the game at all until Sony approached them.

For The Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks the worst part was that all the controls were based on the touch screen. The DS had a full D-Pad, 4 face buttons like all console controllers, and 2 shoulder button.  If they wanted to utilize the touchpad to make up for the lack of two shoulder buttons that would have been…

To be fair he wasn’t the star of super troopers, just a supporting role.  Now he is one of the leads to a very critically well received show that is about to start its final season.  Most likely on a constant press tour and keep being asked this question.  Blame the journalists for asking the same question and…

There is creative mode where everything is free and you can’t die but if that is too easy you can adjust the settings as you see fit. You can make it so things cost less but aren’t free so the game isn’t too easy, make it so animals are only hostile towards you if you attack first, you can turn off combat completely,…

5th year is when the students really are more capable. If a game had you start in 1st year you wouldn’t be able to do anything. If you look at the first few books/films the characters don’t really do much magic at all. It isn’t until the 5th book/film the characters are capable of standing on their own in a fight.…

Speak for yourself.  I want a permadeath mode with real stakes lol

No floating hands are dumb when many games approximate full bodies now. Some games it can make sense like those town manager games where you area “god” but most others full body just works better. The weirdest case of floating hands in VR was RE7. That game was played only with the Dualshock4 and you aimed with your…

Not all VR games do the floating hands thing. Many are now approximating full body movement, rather accurately I might add too. A recent example of this is the new RE8 VR trailer. RE8 initially was going to be floating hands but they changed it to full body.

Just a heads up, the Essential tier games get announced on the Wednesday before the first Tuesday of that month as that is when they get released. The Extra and Premium tier catalog updates get announced 2 weeks later. Don’t know why they are separated like this instead of updating PS+ all at once, but they are.
