It depends on the race / gender of the protagonist.

It really does.

Yeah I got a copy coming tomorrow. I loved the first one way back in the day, played the 3rd too a little but haven't played a DMC game in over 10 years now. Excited to see this one is doing so well with the critics. It's just a very linear, extremely cheesy hack and slash game. They were always pretty fun IMO but probably good for one play through for me, although they're saying the combat gameplay is some of the best out there right now. Not to mention Capcom has been on fire lately, especially with their latest Resident Evil 2 remake....

More rumor than news.

What do you think so far?

So GTA, RDR, Borderlands, NBA 2K would be Sony exclusives? RIP Xbox.

GTA VI being an exclusive to one platform would be HUGE. Same with 2K.

But Xbox will be available on all platforms, somehow. I'm confused about the future. It's a good thing it's always the present.

I highly doubt Xbox Games with Gold will be on a Sony platform any time soon. It will be on a Nintendo one though.

Really looking foward to Control and Cyberpunk 2077.

That rumor coming true seems extremely unlikely. Rockstar Games is probably worth too much money on its own for Sony to buy.

Actually, it was pure speculation on a stock market show. It did spike their prices a bit. Seems like some sort of SEC violation.

My son is playing the alpha of War of Rights...a massive multiplayer online FPS that looks like this:





I believe it’s all players. No AI in the time that I watched. Really remarkable.

How many players can be in a match?

So it's a Dreamcast, a Power Glove, and E.T. for the Atari. If this is the company the machine keeps, it's going to be a bust of epic proportions.

Dunno. I think the most I’ve seen him play with was 150, but it felt like more, and I saw no signs that the server was close to maxing out.

Does it look good? Frame rate, player movement, etc.?

Yes and yes. You obviously get moments where you clip through another player’s head, or where your character’s crouch looks ridiculous, but there’s so much less of that than I would expect. It hasn’t been the mountain of comedic glitches that, say, Battlefront is while I’ve been watching.

I'm really curious to see what they announce. Streaming games just doesn't seem practical for a good chunk of gamers in the US.
