Love the work you guys do. Thanks for the post. I watched the video and man, I really need to play this game. As one of the (seemingly) few games that makes UE5 seem like a good idea and the kind of game I thoroughly enjoy, I'd be all over it if I wasn't enveloped in my first ever run of Skyrim. Soon!
I watched John and Oliver’s video yesterday and thought: it runs better on console than a lot of the other UE5 titles, it seems.
Haven’t played HOL2 yet, but it does seem to me that UE5 has been sort of disappointing this console gen. Not saying I haven’t enjoyed games with UE5, but it seems like other game engines manage better than UE does at this point. I think about Decima with Sony, seems like it’s a solid engine.
Great read, Rich. I was surprised to see our friends playing on Series S would be getting such a quality experience as that hasn’t been the standard in a lot of ways.
Side note, this article is going to confuse everyone who says you guys don’t like Xbox.
Excellent work here, Ollie! Thank you for the vid. Glad to see this turned out well on Switch 2. Now that I am finally playing Skyrim (been a running gag with all my friends) maybe I'll finally play FF7 remake when I finish that.
I missed the vote, but I mostly agree with these results.
I'm in a weird spot where I can't be excited for GTA 6 yet. I'm sure I'll get there, but it just doesn't feel real, so I'm not particularly enthused about it yet.
Ya know, my wife suddenly developed an inability to play house flipper 2 a month or so ago. I wonder if this issue caused that problem for her. The game would get stuck in an infinite loading screen when she would go between locations.
I'm so happy! I love the hookshot sites so this is great for me. Been a fan of DF for about 10 years now and jumped on the supporter train when you all went independent. Very excited for this and look forward to visiting the site regularly!

Re: Control Resonant: Remedy's Open-World Sequel Gets Weird in NYC
This was the highlight of the announcements to me. Hoping it turns out as good as Control. Easily one of the best games in the last several years.

Re: Feature: PS5 Pro Year One: Was It Worth It?
I’ve loved my base PS5. Hope it hangs in there. Never felt like the Pro upgrades were worth much.
