Uh outer worlds takes about 20-30 hours to beat depending on how much side content you do. That's plenty long for any game except the massive stuff like a Skyrim
the newtomb raider trilogy were between 10-15 hours to beat. Most non rpg games aren't getting over 20 hours. And uncharted 4 is a bad example because that game was way longer than it had any business being and it was a slog
The only PS4 game I think is truly fantastic is Bloodborne. I am excited for TLOU2 though.
I'm ready for next gen for both consoles
Would have thought it have a similar look to series X but I guess not.
TBH, I thought asmaller tower but white would of been slick.
Same here. If anything to keep a consistency of design among the product family.
Oh, I still play it every night. Probably my favourite MP game ever at this point.
I rarely play Warzone, but yeah, I don't usually have long load times on that - I usually get them on Super Fiesta. I switched to BTSF and got into a game in a couple of minutes.
I'd be down for a third-person Halo, so long as it's a spin-off/side story.
the disrespect towards studios like Obsidian, Playground and Ninja Theory is disguting. Obsidian (counting as Black Isle as well) made Baldurs Gates, Fallout 1, Fallout 2, Fallout New Vegas, KoTOR 2, Neverwint Nights 2 and so on and they are not on par? ok buddy, guess if you aren't a third person game you are out, lmao
I thought he was saying like not on par on a technical level but that would be a worst take since NT and Playground are defo on the same league
the rest of his tweets, he's right, but lmao at this take

Hmmm, makes me wonder why MS opted to go for the tower look for XSX. Possibly the biggest reason is cooling?
That's true, it's not a bad duration by any means but I can't deny I'd love to see something from Obsidian that does go near the duration of a BGS game, or Witcher. But I'm not expecting that.
You sure Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow are only 10-15 hours? They felt longer to me, either way I never thought they were short, same with the reboot, felt right. Maybe I'm too hung up on hours, haha.
As for Uncharted 4, let's agree to disagree. While I definitely can understand that people feel that way, it never was a slog to me. I loved the build up and the balance between slow and action parts.
Ahh, that's true enough. The point stands though about each publishers "showing" at the Game Awards.
Hellblade 2 was put on to show of XSX and blew people's minds.
Godfall was meant to show off PS5 and left many cold. I hope the reveal will be great in that regard.
Definitely cooling, airflow and acoustics I would think, yeah.
Bloodborne is one of the best games of the gen, but that's From Software, not 1st party
I'm super hyped for TLOU2 too
Are you guys planning to get on Spotify? Would make listening a lot easier for me.
Also are you responsible for discord invites? For some reason I was kicked out of the Xbox discord a while back.
It's just the thinking would make sense 4 years ago, but they've completely turned things around already in the ways he's asked. Now it's just down to time for the games to release so I don't get why he'd say it now.
We talking physically flat? Makes sense, as the device doesn't have a disc drive and there is not nearly as much heat to dissipate.
Crazy how the two next-gen XGS games we've seen (Everwild, Hellblade 2) are both polar opposites in terms of art style yet are equally as impressive
Even 4 years ago. Does this guy know about a certain studio called Obsidian? Does he know what Obsidian means in videogames? Probably not, that's why he talks bullshit on Twitter.
thats news to me. giving the timing of release, its pretty clear, but i dont recall reading a single thing confirming it.
Tomb raiders feel longer but I Beat TR2013 twice and took me about 9 hours. Rise and shadow took around 15-16
I'm not 100% sure about the campaing dlc
Have you ever considered the idea of talking about those kind of dreams with a doctor?
There never was an act 5, if it's going to be a thing it won't be after act 4
Nope, that's 4, 5 has been worked on since 4 released
The open areas were put there for two reasons:
1) handle the "it's too linear" without compromising the base gameplay
2)hide loadings
Because 15/20 hours is the right lenght for a campaign, 30 or so will be boring full of ripetitive things and so on.
Right now I'm thinking about a meme with Lockhart and Series X being anime girls
I wouldn't say they are equally impressive at all, Everwild looks like something that can easily be done on current gen. The art style is great, but graphically I didn't find it very impressive at all, unlike Hellblade 2 which you can immediately tell has the next gen factor.
This, so much. Halo should be 15-20 hours maximum.
Interesting. Would have thought they would keep the design language consistent but I'm open to seeing what they've got!
Cooper only wants Microsoft to emulate Sony's narrative third-person games or he'll not be justified. I think that going for diversity (with plenty of singleplayer experiences, and yes, narrative-focused games among them) is the right and better move. He also completely ignores the growth of all the studios over the last year. He further doesn't acknowledge that games like Wasteland 3 or Ori look better and better every time we see it. Also, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Hellblade II screamed more next gen than anything that the competition has shown. Don't take this tweet seriously, please.
oh my! It's going to look like a little beauty isnt it. small, easily PORTABLE and part of the 5g initiative! jk jk
It's not just enhanced, it's a relaunch in sot/swbf2/mk8 fashion.
If they want to keep the game running with the next generation refresh they had to make the game relevant with Series X, so AFAIK are planning to make something akin to the previous examples
^^^
People want more campaign, which bring us to the extremely low game design with half rpg, half ow we saw.
Gears 5 did this things but in a gears fashion
the problem is that otuside destiny, which struggled too, each looter shooter didn't performed that good compared to the investiments
which is the last date for being nominated to goty? Half november?
JFO didn't run because of that IIRC
the quality of GUerrilla is still unmatched dude, it took skill to create a complete original art style and put it into a slighty less elaborate ubisoft game
We're already on Spotify.
And yes, I can assist with Discord invs. I have a backlog I need to look at actually.
I would have to respectfully disagree. I thought that Everwild's lighting and cloth physics looked beyond this gen.
List wars right now is as lame as ever. Content and artistic preference will be subjective. The experience, credibility and versatility of the talent under Microsofts publishing is a lot to be excited about. Guess now is the last chance to get shots in over Myersons 1st party budget.
I saw some people saying that they received a message on Xbox Live stating Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription will drop from $14.99 to $9.99 next year.
Does anyone know anything about that?
Does anyone know anything about that?
saw something along these lines posted in the next-gen thread, got a chuckle out of me
That's a harsh and ignorant take for someone looking from the outside in, does he really think all of Sony's studios are at a level beyond XGS's. Let alone that acquisitions like Playground, Obsidian or Ninja Theory aren't matching or better than any of Sony's studios, like come on you can't be serious. That's a weird take to come from someone in his position in the industry, but there is probably a factor of pride/bias given his previous position. Still the sort of flippant and ignorant take I expect from a fanboy on a forum, but dressed up.
Shocked.
