Off-Topic News Discussion / Re: Boston Dynamics reveals ne...

Well they certainly embraced uncanny movements! An Electric New Era for Atlas | Boston Dynamics

Looks way more mature than I expected; they've certainly been working on this a while. Really awesome looking design with an already iconic look. The extreme mobility will really help them while their software is lacking and the motions already look pretty good. The walking is the most human like walking I've ever seen from Boston Dynamics but it still has a funny double step thing. It's like it slams its feet down with every step.

Article states that this will be even stronger than their hydraulic robot which would be mighty impressive. I also wonder if it'll be taller, since the previous Atlas was under 5 feet. Either way, this is a huge moment from Boston Dynamics. They're throwing their hat into the ring with all the modern robot companies that are focused on products, not research. I don't expect them to move fast enough to really dominate but with a Hyundai factory work "in the months ahead" they aren't moving slow. If they have a niche, such as being far stronger and durable than other bots, I could see them find a lot of success.

The robot head is such a great design. That is the work of someone who wants to make the bot cool and iconic, which is a big sign of their intentions imo. This robot is way more than just a tech demo of their intentions.

neat i guess. just worried this will do more to push people to PC than to pull people into playstation. although i prefer consoles i think these types of moves are killing the user base to the point that consoles won't be financially viable. xbox is already on the ropes and i'm adament that day-1 PC is the biggest reason why. when xbox purchase ABK i responded by buying a steam deck...

if sony wants to be on PC so bad they should build a competitor to steam that is cross platform with playstation consoles.

that all sounds pretty lazy and not a game of not at all worthy of its 96 rating.

i'll never understand how some games get put though the ringer with even the most minor of flaws being blow out of proportion while other games can have massive problems and get praised to high heaven.

As we've announced previously, Ghost on Tsushima Director's Cut on PC contains the full game, the Iki Island expansion, and the cooperative online multiplayer Legends mode. Thanks to cross-play support, Legends players on Windows PCs can team up with players on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 consoles and use in-game voice chat to communicate. You will be required to sign into your PlayStation Network account to access Legends mode.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut is the first PlayStation title on PC that uses a new PlayStation overlay, which includes your Friends list, Trophies, Settings, and your Profile. This feature is available on Windows PCs and will be accessible from the in-game menu or, for keyboard players, by pressing the "SHIFT +F1" shortcut on your keyboard.

Trophies are shared with the PS5 version:

While playing the game, you can earn PlayStation Trophies just like on PlayStation consoles. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut on PC shares the same Trophy set as the game on PlayStation 5 consoles*.

@kitler53

You'll never play so this is a fun spoiler for you and anyone else that thinks critically of Nintendo.

Spoiler for Full map of TOTK:

This is clear evidence that anything Nintendo is reviewed with bias and they just get high scores because they are Nintendo franchises

Finished Fallout.

Kinda sucked with its later reveals but the main cast was great. Nails the feeling of the world too.

Shocked it has great ratings because it's much closer to Halo than tlou imo, but it's awesome how well video game tv shows are doing.
