Sony shuttering Bluepoint Games is weapons grade awful. The only studio that seemed able to create a high-fidelity engine that was performant and good looking. Sony really are dead to me.

Essentially, I'm sick of games (esp remakes) taking the path of least resistance in opting, by default, for a photoreal art style.

Wouldn't it be cool as biscuits if the Silent Hill 1 remake mimicked the style of the pre-rendered cutscenes present in the original game?

nobody is making telephones out of tin cans and string anymore and it shows

This looks absolutely stellar. Love the art!

Hello, I'm still alive! Been thinking a lot about a certain game from my teenage years, on which I may have to produce a video. (PIC UNRELATED)

The children, they yearn for the cathode tube.

Dying Light: The Beast Shows an Aging Engine Dying Light: The Beast offers average visuals even on high-end PCs, and despite that, there are also instances of stuttering.

What a reductive article. I love the fact that DL: The Beast doesn't look like every other UE-5 slop-fest out there. "The Big Decree" then at the end of the piece - shape up, or ship out essentially? Nah man.

Post a perfect album from the 90's that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice In Chains.

I've already put a stupid amount of time into this game. Looks like I'll be doing it all over again.

Excellent news! Perhaps a little knowing, given the recent launch of Everybody's Golf this week (a game I've previously described as largely horseshit).

I'm also reviewing Everybody's Golf - a game that is largely horseshit.

I never expected to explore the martyrdom and self-sacrifice that cocooned Soviet Socialist Poland in a horror game, but here we are. Good themes, effectively woven.

For the record - it's fine. The game is fine. Standard, inoffensive over the shoulder action horror gameplay. Bloober setting the game in their own neck of the woods however, that's the master stroke.

Reviewing Cronos on Switch 2 at the mo. It's been a long time since I've felt totally captivated by a game's setting in spite of its gameplay.

I'm baffled by Nintendo's technical decisions on a near-daily basis.

Don't tell Shiggy! 🤫

What I'm saying is First Light is to Everything or Nothing, what Smuggler's Run 2 was to Stuntman: Ignition. That should clear everything up for everybody, ok?

Am joking of course, but 007 First Light does look a bit like someone ran Uncharted 2 through my knackered old Beko washing machine's synthetic cycle.

007 First Shite

We have the Switch 2 port of Cronos: The New Dawn in-house. Very curious to see how Bloober has squished UE5 onto the console.

New design criteria mandate: Did the artist have a bit of a laugh? ✅️

Modern shortcomings in UI and UX design can be traced all the way back to Sony's XMB. It was too peak, too streamlined, too navigable. In a prime example of Newton's third law of motion, every single interface structure now has to be arse muck.

Yer da paints crosses on roundabouts

Certified whingebag on main there now recently. I do apologise, folks.

Here's something to brighten your day. Toy Story 2 PS1 start screen.

I understand those are two separate points, but they both feed into modern AAA being largely shite.

Right, so MGS Delta faces the same performance issues that almost every other UE5 game struggles with. I can't with these real-time GI PBR UE5 remakes anymore. Every single game looks the same.

Excellent, couldn't agree more tbh

This is perhaps my all-time favourite meme.

Anywho lets tune into the 45 minute Air Riders Direct.
