I gathered he was referring to the fact that Titanfall 1 had no campaign to “play through”.

Edit: Also I jumped on BF4 last night @ 120FPS, still a fairly large community and the 120fps makes for a far better experience.
No campaign in 1
Titanfall 2 is awesome though

My TV doesn't do 120

My monitor does VRR up to 164Hz and it's the organic thing in the chair that can't keep up to the action sometimes. Need me some NZT-48.

There still is the story and pace through the online multiplayer though. Which I thought was interesting at the time. Pretty similar to Apex Legends in a sense I guess.

As for no 120, that sucks..I feel like playing at 120 fps is the reason to own a next gen consoles. At least as of now.

Insomniac just released a "gameplay" trailer for the new Ratchet and Clank game. According to the folks on Resetera there's a State of Play for the game (whatever that means) happening on Thursday. The trailer doesn't have much gameplay but overall things look really good.



After seeing this and a few other PS5 games I'm really excited to see what Microsoft brings to the table regarding a true next-gen game. GamePass is great and everything but they haven't had much in terms of first party (or even second/third party?) games for the Series X.

It's when they showcase a bunch of upcoming PlayStation games or things Playstation related. It's about a half an hour.

Feels like Insomniac might be the only developer working on true next gen experiences.

Miles Morales and now Ratchet and Clank in the first 6 months of the console lifespan is strong work from them.

Returnal comes out this Friday and looks really great. Developed by Housemarque out of Helsinki, Finland and is a third-person shooter featuring roguelike elements and covering the psychological horror genre. Here's a few short trailers that have come out in the past few weeks:

Returnal looks so good. I've got it predownloaded and ready to go for Friday.
Can't wait to play a new "next-gen" console title, and see what it can do with the dualsense.

Doubled down on a 65” LG CX and and an Atmos soundbar; might wait for a sale. That game reminds me of Recore, which was a very underrated game, much like Ryse was on Xbox.

MLB The Show is an awesome game, but holy hell these servers are bad.
I don't recommend anyone pay for this until the servers get fixed up.

Yeah, but it's the same price regardless if you play MLB or not so you're not wasting money on it if sucks. You still get to play all of the good games for the same price.

I've paid a total of $1 for about ~4 years of Game Pass service (and counting). As well my buddy who I console share with gets to use my GP account for free that entire time.

When I renewed my GP account 9 months ago, I used my Microsoft points and for some reason they let me renew under that same $1 promotion. Even though I was a renewing member I was allowed to do it again.

So 2 users, 4 years and counting, for $1

Awesome reviews for Returnal, so happy for Housemarque. They’re stepping into the big leagues with this one and looks like a PS5 must play!

And a nice post from Housemarque on the launch:

Just finished Control, and the maze is one of the coolest levels of any game I can remember. The way the music shifts with the maze is awesome

Hint: don't watch this if you haven't played it yet but plan to, it's best to go in blind
