I’m sure Ubi is trying it’s best to incorporate NFTs into it.

Someone at R* leaked some videos from GTA6. Looks like it’s from the QA team :exploding_head:

It’s official, it’s coming to PC Game Pass on 23 August… and it will support Windows achievements!

Awesome! Love that more people can get a chance to experience this weirdly captivating game about package deliveries
(Though Steam already has the Director’s Cut – but at least this will come in the xbox-pc subscription)

Doesn’t look like it’s the Director’s Cut version with the extra missions and half-life/cyberpunk content, but I did find this which might imply otherwise?

Windows 10/11 PC gamers can expect such features as ultrawide mode, photo mode, high frame rate, and cross-over content from some very well-known franchises.

This is both a strange thing, but a good thing. Now we can say a Sony owned IP title now has Achievements for Xbox/PC Gamepass. Unfortunately I’m assuming from publishing rights Death Stranding won’t end up Xbox Consoles.

This is an interesting and noble position that Sony have taken in my opinion. If you’re not aware of “paid platinum” games, it usually means cheap games (costing a couple of pounds/euros/dollars to buy), that have been created for the sole purpose of allowing players to get a platinum with the minimum of effort to boost their completion ratios.

Saints Row? More like Saints RAW!

That’s a shame. I was thinking of maybe getting that at some point, I don’t mind the occasional big dumb sandbox game.

Probably my own bias but it does feel like the sandbox genre has been very lacklustre lately in terms of titles, with the occasional standout. Doesn’t help that it feels like Ubisoft has been saturating the market with their often half baked titles for the last few years.

There really hasn’t been any innovation in years, all sandbox games following the Ubisoft formula which has been stale since AC3 / FC3.

I wrote the first part before finishing reading your sentence, yeah, we all think the same about Ubi games :grin:

Ugh, yet another game that will only be bearable after patches. It’s a shame, and another reason why I’m glad I don’t pre-order anymore.
