I preordered at my local biggest retailer in the country the day tjey opened the preorders (XSX), it was scheduled to for pick up at 8am, the store opening. During the day I got 4 different emails with the pickup time moving further and further, but still for today, I finally got it on my way to work at 6pm. I work in a covid ward, so I just stashed it in my locker and will set it up after the night shift. Even the clerk said he envies me this machine, I hope everyone gets theirs! My PS5 is scheduled for next year though, that console is in an even higher demand in Europe.

Good luck, everyone!

I would be supper happy if full efects at 60fps in a dynamic res. would become the norm as we settle into this gen. And I have an awesome 4k TV, but as said above, hitting full res. is the least impresive aspect of modern graphics, pushing for 4k at the cost of effects or framerate is never worth it in my opinion.

It’s an ok compromise, if it means tje cost can be this low (and it really is, for the machines we are getting), that means more people can afford them. That alone is great, and selfishly it means faster adoption, more sales etc., which benefits everyone.

I saw it twice, it’s very good, but definetely lacks the depth of Inception or Interstellar. Both of those movies have a strong arch that changes the main character. In Tenet, The Protagonist is basically perfect, unbestable from the very start - he only gets fucked when double crossed, but even then doesn’t hesitate and tries to kill himself for others. During the śrest of the movie nothing really changes for him, he takes more risks to save others and continues to be a good fighter. That’s it. There is no emotional plot really, maybe Kat’s, but that’s more on the sidelines of the main plot. It’s a fantastic watch, the second viewing was even more awesome ride, but I wish he made it an hour longer and put some kind of actual struggle for our hero.

That being said, watching the fight scene where he fights himself, watching that forward and then backwards was simply awesome. The realisation halfway through the movie that we are about to watch what we just saw, backwards, was just insane.

Slow down, that’s a lot of samples I have to try! ;-)

Awesome, I will try all of those, thank you!

I am looking for a good podcast about movies. Preferably one where each episode is devoted to a specific movie, new or old. I have so far only tried to look in Downcast (iOS app) and the very first one it offered was called Mad About Movies - it’s not very good though. I listened to a couple of episodes, including a “technical one” focused on streaming, 4k and tvs and that gave me zero new information. And the standart episodes are very shallow as well, so I am dropping it.

Any suggestions? I don’t need guest or anything, I just want inteligent people who know what they are talking about disecting movies!

For reference, I loved the Perfect Organism podcast, which obviosly focused on everything Alien and then expnded to Blade Runner, which is where I found it (when 2049 came out).

Solo streams, the same games day in day out. I am only keeping my subscription till the day it tuns out, I’ll download the good old premium videos and store them on a big drive. This is a great dissapointment for me as well, I have been here for all these years since beginning but since the last redesign of the website it’s worse every month.

Thank you, those are good ones.

To add to the list myself, in case somebody else opens this thread searching for similar stuff: Super Hyper Cube and Tumble VR are both fantastic and gave me no nausea whatsoever. Also SuperHot VR, it’s the best.

I have PSVR and I am prone to get sick pretty fast, if there is too much movement. I loved games like Moss, Trover saves the universe or Statik, where you are stationed firmly in a position in every scene. I was able to go through Blood and Truth but I had to have my fan anchoring me in my body and I had to take breaks every hour or so, even with all the “comfort” options turned on. The VR Worlds level where you man the mech, jumping through an asteroid field was an instant “get this thing off my head” moment for me. I don’t think my tolerance will get any better than this, at least not on this 1st gen-ish hardware, maybe better screens and tracking will help, but I am not planning to invest in new hardware anytime soon.

So, are there more games like those I mentioned above, that are worth playing and won’t make me hurl? I was trying to search for sites that would rate games by their “comfort” levels but I haven’t found any, but surely there must be some? Any advice would be appriciated!
