scrubbles, do games w 4 Months After Launch, Dragon Age: The Veilguard Headlines PlayStation Plus March 2025 Lineup

Eh. That’s not a big of a loss as you’re making it out to be. I purposely buy my games, I want to own them. (Asterisk with licensing and all). Point being that I don’t agree with Ubisoft that we need to get used to Games as a Service. I don’t want to rent my games. Even mid tier games, I want to own them.

Ledivin, (edited )

But… you still don’t own it. You own an Ubi EA-controlled, revocable license to play the game.

donuts,

Ubi? I thought Dragon Age was EA

Ledivin,

lol fair enough, it’s Bioware, but the point still stands

donuts,

Ah I thought I missed the news and Ubi purchased the rights or something. The point does still stand, yeah. Parent comment made the same point too

Eldest_Malk,

I mean it’s the same for Steam.

Edit: I’m dumb. I didn’t read the parent comment.

and if they let me buy it license free I would. However between the options of buying a license to play a game whenever I want vs renting it for 1 month, I’ll take the license.

Why would you apologize for a test not going well? That’s the whole point of a test.

ms_lane,

Please Understand

Heh.

Apparently the press event also had massive network issues. Iron Pineapple briefly touched on it while giving their take on the game and going over footage. Which immediately explained “weirdness” in Vaati et al’s coverage.

Not overly worried. From are shockingly okay with netcode these days and the big lift is less “get four players into the same session” and more “let players be spread across multiple areas in the same session”.

That said… I was already struggling to put the effort in to figure out if I need PS+ for the network test and… I got a long weekend and an Obsidian CRPG.

Network test where nobody can manage to queue with other people :/

A network test showing that the testing was required.

If you sign up for a network test, you have to be expecting issues like this.

Good thing they are testing the network. I would hate to think what would happen if this wasn’t a test.

It is of course better that Elden Ring Nightreign suffers server issues now than when it launches in May, but players who had earmarked time to try out the game now have expressed their frustration. Hopefully subsequent play sessions will run more smoothly.

    But the time had been earmarked! Earmarked, I say!

    Empricorn,

    Oh, so that’s why I have sharpie on my ear.

    I briefly considered splurging on this one and buying at launch. Checked the reviews this morning and was reminded why I never do that anymore.

    If a corp has shareholders to answer to, they will only churn out unfinished dogshit.

    How do you mod a PS4 game?

    Blisterexe,

    it’s running on a pc emulator

    addie,
    @addie@feddit.uk avatar

    shadps4.net to be precise. Differs from other emulators by not emulating the hardware, but by reimplementing the API, from what I’ve read. More like Wine than eg. rpcs3.net

    simple,

    It needs a hacked PS4

    Sony would rather flush hundreds of millions of dollars down the drain that was Concord than give fans one of the easiest layups imaginable by putting Bloodborne on PS5 and PC

    I do not understand what Sony and Nintendo have against their own fans. I know that Japanese companies generally only give a shit about Japan, but come on guys. The majority of your fans are all over the globe.

    ms_lane,

    Lawyers gotta lawyer.

    A_Very_Big_Fan, do games w Creator of Bloodborne 60fps Patch Says Sony Has Sent Him a DMCA Takedown — but Why Now?

    Fans are desperate for an official next-gen patch that would make the game run at 60fps, up from 30fps, …

    “”““30 fps””“”

    Dudewitbow,

    30 fps with a broken self implemented vsync that causes stutters*

    caut_R,

    I really don‘t understand how FROM, with all their success and talent, fumbles so often on a technical level

    Gullible,

    Japan is incredibly prideful. They innovate fucking hard but refuse to copy each other’s homework, which leads to random “what the fuck is happening, why is this code 20 years out of date?” situations.

    skulblaka,

    This also may explain why Nintendo can’t implement competent networking features to save their lives.

    Gullible,

    Excellent, and precisely correct, observation!

    Sabin10,

    I recall an interview back during the wii/ds era where someone at Nintendo was asked how they felt their online service compared to psn and xbl at the time and their response was that they had never used them.

    Dudewitbow,

    i just find it funny because the fix for it was use the playstations developer version of vsync, but fromsoft decided that they wanted to redo whats already done. thats why the stutter is almost present on all fromsoft games of that console generation.

    100,

    their engine is custom bullshit unique to their games so probably trying to reinvent something, badly

    rtxn,

    Tying animation speed and game mechanics to the framerate worked for PS1 games, it will work now.

    drmoose,

    Tried to play the game like 10 times - just can’t get over the incredibly poor performance. What a waste.

    NotSteve_,

    I’ve beat Bloodborne around 3 or 4 times but I always dread that framerate. It’d be my favourite souls game hands down if it wasn’t for that framerate.

    I would and will throw any amount of money at a re-release that changes nothing except for that stupid framerate.

    Idk what Sony is doing but it seems like they’re doing anything but releasing an updated Bloodborne even though everyone wants one. We have people almost completing a PS4 emulator just to play BB at 60fps before they’ve re-released the damn game.

    It really feels like Sony is just leaving money out on the table

    Jeff Grubb has said that, based on what he’s hearing from sources, do not get your hopes up for this to mean anything official is happening for Bloodborne.

    @ampersandrew@lemmy.world avatar

    Jeff “Metroid Prime Remastered coming this year” Grubb, but plans changed after he heard of them, yes. It’s really not a good way to try to discredit someone because they don’t literally have a crystal ball.
