I've come to the conclusion that Pragmata looks like a switch 1 game. The resolution is way too low and the demo makes it feel like a game with one trick and few ideas.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 demo however, has gone from zero interest into will probably buy someday. I liked it so much I redownloaded Stories 2 demo to give it a fair shot. It was not a good time, too child like.
Stories 3 reminded me of Zelda and Xenoblade, Skyrim even. It's aged everything up and gone wild with the budget. The combat is fun, even if I dont fully understand it and world traversal never gets old riding ma dragon. Also technically quite beautiful, though needs to smooth the framerate as its just shy of locked 30.
Then I went back to the Yakuza Kiwami 3 demo and this game is a definite buy. It's funny that the demo for 3 helped me with 1 and vice versa. Its ironed out some flaws that annoy me with 1. The fighting feels snappy and its probably the best looking game I've played. I was wandering about Tokyo in 1st person and it looked better than Cyberpunk. Smooth AF too.
The in game models look as good as the cutscenes too. Loved dressing up and the insane missions like avoiding knocking into sumo dudes holding ice creams.
I'm going to buy Kiwami 2 first and who knows, might even get Zero when its cheap.
PlayStation 6 reportedly with 30GB of GDDR7 RAM
09.02.26 - The PlayStation 6 is said to have 30 GB of GDDR7 RAM, spread over ten modules of 3 GB each. This is what the usually excellently informed insider Kepler L claims in the NeoGaf forum.
The memory works at 32 GB/s via a 160-bit bus, which results in a total memory bandwidth of 640 GB/s. Sony has not confirmed the information.
Horizon 3 still a long way off
09.02.26 - It will be quite a while before a Horizon 3 from Guerrilla Games will be released. This is the view of Jason Schreier of Bloomberg.
The reason is that most of the development team is busy with the co-op action game Horizon Hunters Gathering (PS5, PC) - for the foreseeable future, the game will therefore be the focus of Guerrilla Games.

I spent my weekend playing Civ 6. Last night I moved my builder over the whale tile to upgrade it for the luxury resource Unfortunately, moving him there used all my movement points, so I had to wait until the next turn to build the improvement. The CPU decided this was the perfect time to spawn barbarian boats and steal my builder! MFs! I wiped them out with my archers. Barbarians suck.
Spent most of the day playing demos.
