I sadly only got around to playing/beating GOW last month.

I won’t be making the same mistake on PS5, and will be there day 1.

Brilliant game.

It took me almost 6 months to beat as well. Squeezed in a couple hours here and there till finally i beat it. Trying to be a completionist made me drag it out more. I still prefer the older games tho.

Still Haven’t Beaten God Of War... I had bought PS4 Pro GOW Edition to enjoy it in 4K. Got busy and was grinding ESO With Friends On Xbox. Went back to play GOW and HDMI port went out on PS4 PRO GOW edition. It was just out of the Warranty. So I refused to play it on a OG PS4 so I waited and got another PS4 Pro later. Then ended up Playing Days Gone and Death Stranding First. Kinda Now waiting On PS5 before I play it. Hoping it runs full 4K.

I know I should be shot and hung and drug through the streets for not playing it yet!

I've made the huge mistake of playing through most of it and stopping near the end for a break and never went back to it. Now every time I want to continue to finish it I just can't because it's been so long. The longer I go the harder it gets to get back to it. Obviously I need to get used to all the controls again :/

That sucks. I played it on my launch tho, no complaints lol. My dilemma is if the Ps5 does enhance all my ps4 games, should I put it away or sell it.

It doesn't seems so but when you got all the stuff and you come back after a break, you realize how fucking difficult is that game to control, you feel like a giant baby that is learning how to walk. I started NG+ months after the last play, on Hard, and first hours I was a complete noob.

Well no, I actually played it last month for the first time. Never before. Made sure to finish it before moving onto anything else.

I didn’t think I would like it at first but by the end, I was hooked.

The only downside was I barley used any armour or anything, I used like two different sets, and one of those was the myst armour that was just too good to give up. Even after beating all the valkyries I didn’t use the armour.

Interested to see where the next one goes...

Also, it has to be said...

BOYYYY!

I finished it in two sessions. I took a couple of days off from work and got myself some good weed and a 4K OLED TV. I remember my wife coming down in the morning and me showing her the screenshots I made. She didn't fully understand my excitement, but that's her problem and not mine.

God Of War is one of the best games on PlayStation. What Sony Santa Monica pulled off on 5-6 year old hardware is next to unbelievable. Having done multi-year projects myself I could totally relate to Cory Barlog braking some tears when he did a reaction video looking at the reviews coming in.

I recently applied for jobs at SMS, because I would love to be part of their next game. But haven't received an answer yet.

10 out of 10

I didn't mean to scare you but it's true, the game introduce new mechanics so slowly and steadily you get used to it, but if you try to re-learn everything all togheter isn't easy at all, everyone bash the variety of enemies but even the slightest variation is well designed, they are chess pieces, try to fight different units togheter untrained on later game and you get smacked in your godly ass. And don't let me start with Valkyries, the last one is one of the most complex bosses of this gen.
In all this scenario, you need to quickly manage throws, fists, arrows, amulets, combos, kratos magic, atreus magic, shield\parry, finishers, two types of dodges and pick ups adapting to different range and speed of enemies lol
What I did was using only the axe first even if I already had the second weapon, to recreate the learning curve of the normal game.
Edit: damn it seems I'm talking to myself, was directed to TLZ lol

Ha! Count me in as someone who bought ps4 pro late (a year ago or so ago) just to play GOW. Finished it and loved it. After playing 6 or 7 other exclusives, GoW is still by far my favorite.

I'm not criticising what he is saying. The speculation was dumb, but then so is 99% of what is talked about on the internet. It still serves us nothing to lambast one another in such an ugly, disrespectful and unsightly way.

He needs to lighten up.

I think he was joking too though.

Info I received. I which is second hand. Is that Target Prefs moves from 10TF for target for launch games for PS5 moves to 11TF Target Pref.

For the record If a launch Game has a 11TF Target Pref doesn’t mean the retail console is 11TF.

I do not Know what the Dev Kit/Debug Kit Target Pref is currently. I’m only repeating what I was told it was recently and last year.

From my Understanding The New PSVR2 Dev Kit/Debug Kit is Code Named Caesar.

All My Info is second hand Info I heard From Devs and People In the Industry. I haven’t seen it with first Hand Knowledge or any Documentation.

Feel free to ask @O’dium or BG Or Anybody’s Else Who have Knowledge.
fine. i will bite.

if this devkit is called Caesar and is 11 tflops then what was the tflops of the prospero devkit? that was the one with the v shape vents. 10?

you said in the previous post that the target was 10 tflops. was this at e3? this doesnt line up with andrew reiner and colin's rumors where they heard the ps5 was more powerful than the 12 tflops xbox.
Devs where told to target 10TF for retail last year. Rumor is then they was told target was 11TF Retail. I can’t confirm the 11TF Retail increase because I haven’t seen the documents on it.

In the last week and a Half to 2 weeks Devs have received new Dev Kits/Debug Kits a new revision for PSVR2. The new dev Kit/ debug Kits code names Caesar. For devs with VR games.

Rumor is in the last 3 Months Devs where sent new Debug Kits For PS5 a new revision to all devs.Debut Kits are the PSV dev console.

Also a new DS5 was supposed to be sent to devs. I haven’t Seen them or a pic of them. I don’t know if they have a camera or not in the new DS5 Dev Controllers.
what do you mean by debut kits?

BGs BGs is a vr focused dev from what i can tell. are you saying the new devkits went out to vr devs? or all devs? hard to figure out from your post.

I will be glad to forward your Questions. That’s all I can do. All my info is second hand.
Debug not Debut...probably just a spelling error...

Regarding Covid-19 and console production and supply by Foxconn(PS4 manufacturer, 10% Xbox One as well)...wccftech: Foxconn to Resume Normal Operations by the End of March as Coronavirus Situation Stabilizes in China.
Key Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL 302.84 4.67%) supplier Foxconn – formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co Ltd. (TPE:2354) – announced today that it would be able to resume normal operations at its facilities in China by the end of March 2020.
...
Foxconn’s Chairman, Liu Young-Way, told an online investor conference on Tuesday:
“Prevention of outbreak, resumption of work and production are our top priority.”
In an encouraging sign, Foxconn has reported that over half of its seasonal workforce has resumed work and that the company continues to follow a staggered operation resumption plan formulated in late February.
I remember reports from mid-February that claimed Foxconn was resuming operations, but it was later debunked. Hopefully, this one is true and things can begin to stabilize again. Hopefully the workers there will be treated better as well, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

I'm fairly certain the target has never changed, the Devs were aware that the target was above the first Dev kit, the target has always been 13TF. New Dev kits were rumoured to ship in March, so that lines up. It would surprise me greatly if PSVR2 shipped this year, I would say 2022 is more likely. PSVR is not there current focus.

Wrong last name eh?

Damn...typed the wrong last name and didn't even notice that but I fixed it.

I'm being brutally honest. majority of people stopped reading your post from this point.

That's fine. He's been right every time as have all the other guys I mentioned in that post. Him and the others have actually had what they've said backed up with actual facts and proof by Microsoft.

Can you actually say the same for any so called PlayStation insider? Because every PlayStation rumor and leak that I have read or seen have been fake, made up and have no substance or validity whatsoever. Unless it's coming from Sony, I don't understand why any PlayStation fan is clinging to all these fake insiders but hey, to each their own.

Selfishly plays on Xbox Purr-ies X
How does everybody feel about SSD load times. Will they make a huge impact on games like The Elder Scrolls Online or day Destiny 2? These game’s being online. How much difference in load times do you believe there could be with Online Games?

It makes a huge difference for me. Playing Oblivion or FO:NV on the X is night and day. Instead of sometimes almost a minute of load time it's now only a few seconds. It makes those games SOOOO much more enjoyable to play.

Back when they came out on the 360, I used to get dread fast travel or simply entering a building and I'd get really irritated when I walked into the wrong building by mistake because of the looooong load times.

From what we've heard, with the SSDs that frustration should be eliminated and I'm all for it. I don't even care if it does anything else to enhance games.
