I like that it will also have online co-op. I just hope it’s also going to have cross play.

I guess they forgot their failure with Enterprise trying to make it “less star trek”. It didnt attract a broader audience. Star Trek fans want Star Trek. … and sure enough Pricard season 2 was panned so hard.

If on consoles theyre not using a dynamic resolution scaling I’ll be surprised if the game’s frame rate gets up to 60fps anywhere but calm confined spaces. But if theyre trying to maintain as high a resolution as possible then Im expecting it wont get much above 30fps and probably drop hard any time there is action going on.

not as much action as one would have liked, but there was some real drama on the track that at least added tension.

Way to go Bearman. Nice debut. Perez still looking to be exactly what Red Bull needs him to be so far in the season. If Magnissen hadn’t racked up 20 seconds in penalties he’d have been worthy of driver of the day too. Stroll continuing to drive like a rookie. Ricciardo still mid and getting out performed by Tsunoda. McLaren is going to struggle if they cant get faster in a straight line. To be so good around corners they must have some bad drag issues. But good on Lando for holding off Hamilton.

I didnt think he got that much practice with Zhou causing a red flag during FP3. But yeah I was wanting to see a Q3 appearance. So question is, will Ferrari fuck Bearman on strategy to get data to help Leclere, or will he be able to have a good race himself and maybe work his way up into the point? I was also hoping to see Alonso on the front row, but second row isnt too bad. Id like to see him podium. Will Perez have more race pace than Leclere? All McLaren row 3 could keep them in play too, but probably wont. I suspect the Mclarens will be by themselves and several seconds back will be both Mercedes cars. Yuki qualifying way ahead if Ricciardo isnt surprising either, but I also wont be surprised if Yuki and Lance come together going into turn 1.

Why can’t @Biggie also be here? I thought you were his bestie.

Im gonna try and on demand Qualifying over lunch after it wraps here in a bit.

Bearman is surely going to make a full time driver look pretty bad by late season where they remain 21st in driver rankings.

Kansas City fans just aren’t build as robustly as Mew England fans I guess

Sucks for Sainz. Good luck to Bearman who's only got 1 practice session to get used to the car and setup.

Ok. Yeah by interchangeable I more meant they will all generally say the same things. Not like a Square RPG or a Bioware RPG where party members bring something specific to the conversation and even banter with each other in a way unique to them. I like that they sound chatty. I wonder if they will have personality enough my sister would get into the game. My sister really prefers games with chatty party members that feel like people and not just bots that exist. Like Dragon Age.

Wow. Surprised he went not being that old.

Does it seem like the Pawns have unique personalities or are they all relatively interchangeable mercenaries?

Quick questions, the characters that follow you around, are they very involved in the story? Where you get fun party banter, they add to story conversations, they seem like people. Or are they just there, a bot following you around, and I’ll likely get more emotionally attached to my own weapon than I will any of those in my party?

with Horizon Forbidden West the day before. This series really can’t catch a break on release dates. lol Sony just loves putting it out to get killed.

Yeah the industry really seemed to blown its load last year. There’s also the Eldin Ring DLC that may be big enough people rope it into GOTY talks like they did the CP expansion. I kind of expect Star Wars outlaws to get pushed into 2025 by at least 1 delay. Which wouldnt have won anyways, but could be in some people’s top games of the year lists.

it will surely be somebody’s. My own possible hangups aside on this title it looks like we’ve got 2 strong contenders between this and FFVII Rebirth.

So I was all for this game until I heard somebody talking about what it might be like based on the first game. They got to talking about having limited inventory and needing to pack for a trip, take camping stuff and provisions, needing to sleep or lose health at night, making sure you pack the right stuff to deal with the creatures and threats you could face, maybe getting it wrong, etc. I was just like “sounds like Id be annoyed”. I really dont care for survival mechanics in games. The fact that I can automate eating in Palworld with the feed bags makes it mostly tolerable, but I get annoyed every time I have to switch around armor because the sun went down or came back up. I dont want to layer more micromanaging and adventure halting into it. The only thing in a game like this that could kill my interest even more is if there was aggressive weapon and armor degradation, and I couldnt repair them. Except maybe for an over emphasis on single use potion and item crafting with an encyclopedia’s worth of ingredients and materials to find and keep track of. otherwise I really like the look of the game. I like the idea of being able to focus on being a support class role within the party and not the one solely responsible for being DPS, tank, and healer all in one.

Hmm. Now I want to get a pro controller with Dual Sense haptic feedback. I love me some back paddles. But maybe just a regular Dual Sense should be fine.

How’s Dual Sense for Horizon Forbidden West? That came out on both originally. I was wondering about getting a Dual Sense both of these and finishing Rift Apart.

Well this is sooner than I thought it would be. Nice.

What all was shown off?
