Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 is quite the marvel on PS5 Pro #VirtualPhotography

The heirlooms. #4K #Physicalmedia #Cinema #Movies #Films

Challengers not being nominated for Best Score at the Oscars makes me sick.

Stellar Blade is good, not great. #Ps5 #ps5pro

New Superman trailer is certainly something.

People really need to stop engaging with DEI rage bait. How can you acknowledge something is bait and still engage with it? Especially these journalists with a large following, you are just stoking the flames. Ignore them, let it die. I wonder if they seek the engagement also?

INTERGALACTIC:THE HERETIC PROPHET Wow, oh wow

2024 I will be interested to see the hours I played on steam deck. The best thing I played this year was probably Shadow Of The Erd Tree. A poor year all in all but Balatro & Astro Bot were special.

I have had my Steam Deck OLED for 1 year today. The game I purchased first and the game I still always go back to? Metal Gear Solid V : The Phantom Pain. Perhaps the greatest gameplay ever designed, a forever game. P.s Death Stranding is Kojima’s greatest work.

So I picked up Balatro on Steam Deck. I would advise all against this as you will not see the outside world for some time. (Well deserved GOTY nomination & the Steam Deck is obviously still the best purchase you can make)

Miyazaki has confirmed Elden Ring 2 not currently in development but multiple projects are. If one of those isn’t a sequel to Sekiro or Bloodborne I see no other alternative but war.

Seeing a lot of discourse around PS5 Pro and the implementation of PSSR. The bottom line is this, titles that are implementing PSSR well are mostly first party and the results are mindblowing. It is very disappointing that some 3rd party titles are not utilising the upscaler properly.

I really enjoyed Conclave. Perhaps the best ensemble of the year? Perhaps the best shot film of the year? Perhaps the best score of the year? Go see it, go support it.

Time for Conclave

Ridley Scott’s - Blade Runner. DoP - Jordan Cronenweth

Timothee Chalamet’s filmography would be accomplished if he was in the twilight of his career - he is not even thirty.

Denis Villeneuve’s PRISONERS. DoP: Roger Deakins

I think, therefore I am. boxd.it/7Wk7lX

Star Wars : Outlaws About 6 hours into this and I think it is really great so far, very underrated. Gameplay is very shallow but serviceable. What’s really great is the open world design. More focused on exploration than markers on a map, the syndicate system really roots down all these elements

Control 2 from Remedy will be serious to me. Captured on Xbox Series X

boxd.it/7Ur8Z1 Some rambling on the greatest.

FF7 Rebirth is perhaps the most overrated game I’ve seen in sometime. Likely lauded for its fan service than its achievement as a video game in 2024.

I was disappointed with Gladiator II. boxd.it/7PJGqb

I finished The Last Of Us Part II on PS5 Pro. This game is probably one of the very best pieces of art ever made. From a narrative standpoint there is nothing as sophisticated as this across the the two games. Naughty Dog are just better at this than everyone else, nobody is really even close.

Close enough. Last Of Us Part II x Aftersun PS5 Pro capture

More Last Of Us Part II on PS5 Pro

Some captures from the PS5 Pro.
