You people would bitch if it was also just “sad dad” games.
Just admit you’d never be pleased.
As someone with over 50 switch games and has been positive with Microsoft and Nintendo’s previous showings this is a lie.You people are cynical as fuck.
Flash forward to Nintendo's presentation thread in a month:
Rahx: "All these games fucking suck and are boring. Why are you people so excited?"
Box Snacks?! :lolMy bad, BugSnax :lol
End of show, seriously :doge
Not saying everything sucks sight unseen does not mean you have to “cum” at everything. There’s a simple middle ground. But I forgot this is the bore where everything is garbage and nothing can be ok.
Gamers are so annoying and obnoxious.
Hey can you and the rest of the idiots that complain about this forum (even though it's been the same for over 15 years) start your own and circlejerk each-other over how we're cynical and have imaginary double standards?

oh no
I mean I’m only interested in Spider man and the SE Ip myself.You people are cynical as fuck.
I like a small amount of games myself; happy you like a variety, nothing cynical here... but I mostly play a few games a year that I can sink 100s of hours into and this all seems like mostly indie short games.
Curious what the Spiderman game actually is though.
CAPGAWD SAVING THIS FUCKING SNOREFEST

I really don't think this was much different than Xbox's show earlier. I wanted info on this thing and got youtube trailers
i like the idea that there's a genuine standoff between MS and sony to announce price first after what happened last time out.

That was lame. Holy shit with trying to pass those indie games as something only possible next gen.
Wow, I am so unimpressed with what they showed overall. And that has never happened before. There's always something -at least one game- that makes me go for the launch model, but so far...nope. Will wait to see what more third-parties announce.

Eh, I have a gaming PC, nothing in console reveals is ever going to impress me on a visual level. The jumps just are not there anymore, everything is just sharper, more detailed, better draw distance and faster loading. Which is already the higher settings on PC versions.
Game-wise there were no real surprises but everything looked like solid follow ups to existing stuff by 1st parties. I think most 3rd party stuff is still another year or two out and in general the gaming industry is done with announcing CG teaser trailers of stuff that's 5-7 years away and year 1-2 of new systems is always a drizzle. Usually lineups don't start getting substantial until year 3.
Where were the Japanese devs :doge
Microsoft had more :doge
Why the fuck that Dinasour game was there?That made me want to vomit... shouldn't even be switch worthy

They shouldn't have leaned into the biggest leap ever stuff at all. Spider-Man looked like an expansion pack and that was the only game I wanted to play aside from Deathloop.

I wanted to see:Sony doesn't do FUN. they only do thought provoking ART
Konami game (Silent Hill/MGS) which seem to be in dev w/ Sony
An RPG of any kind. WRPG/JRPG.
Openworld city game (Infamous/GTA/Saints Row)
Fun launch puzzle game.
Fighting game.
Real lack of diversity imo
The best part of RE8 is that it confirms the leaksI think I saw Luis. See, even a game about killing zombies can be fun as fuck pretentious Sony dorks.
...which say the game is actually legit good, which is the reason it was changed from revelations 3 -> RE8 because it tested so well and was given extra budget/time to become mainline.
So this could be a real cool game. Definitely looking forward to it.
Demon's Souls is a remaster. :lol Is Bluepoint even Japanese?

They don't need to show any new hardware, so that makes sense. Expecting something new from them next year or maybe the year after.

So Remedy announced Control coming to La Serie X and PS5. Guess I can wait to play it for free on Game Pass.

Could you show me how it's done first, and then I'll follow your lead?

Maybe AMD sold them the Zen 2 chips at a bargain because they're moving to Zen 3 and these things will launch at $299 for the digital and $399 with the drive but I'm not seeing that happening.
I also think that as the generation goes on Sony will either to a GamePass sort of thing or greatly reduce their first party output of which very titles add something to the line-up.

Hey clown, I know it's hard to see over your big fucking clown nose but I mentioned it because people may not have seen some PR post and because of the fact that it says it was designed exclusively for the PS5 all over the trailer. Try not to get any of your clown makeup in your eyes when you go to take it off later.
Time to preorder Goodbye, Volcano High: Limited Collector's Edition exclusively on BadDragon.com
This was the most typical Sony conference ever. I don’t know why anyone was shocked.
Start off with the big but not too big AAA games, pad with the indies and smaller games then the bigger stuff. It was the typical template. Except they actually showed a lot of games and a variety of games. I’m not surprised by the reactions here, but I don’t know what people want. You made fun of thier overly cinematic dad games and they didn’t offer any of that. They had new reveals of favorite PS ips, 3rd party ips, new stuff, stupid indies you people usually rave about, a return of platforms, and so on. As a first look I’m not sure what’s awful here. I’m convinced nothing will make any of you happy.

Probably. Whitta wrote such stinkers as The Book of Eli and After Earth so I'm expecting some real awful shit here.
Maybe I've become a jaded, sad, joyless piece of shit, but my main issue with this presentation, and Microsoft's showcase before, is that I didn't see anything new. Just the same games with slightly better graphics. But nothing truly revolutionary or at least ambitious. Maybe it's the nostalgia goggles, but I feel we had that in the past. It doesn't have to be games. Xbox Live was a huge deal, VR was a huge deal, even fucking waggle was different and a big deal. Microsoft's "power of the cloud" never happened, but it was at least inspiring. Wii U's second screen failed and 3DS' stereoscopic screen was ultimately pointless, but it was something different. Give me something new and visionary, even if it's just a business idea. This wasn't inspiring or visionary. And Microsoft's show wasn't, either.Pretty much where I'm at with this stuff.

I don't know if I can trust any Microsoft FPS currently. The way they have been handling the MCC on not one but TWO platforms has been utterly disappointing. And PDZ was, well PDZ.

Wish Silent Hill was real instead of Ratchet and shit. Then this whole thing might've been more convincing for me. But on the other hand, I got my personal wish that they'd make an Astrobot to show off the new controller gimmicks. :leonThere's still that State of Play in August for SH.
Though with RE8 appparently (and surprisingly) not being crossgen, I probably need next gen pretty soon anyway :stahp Best game of the show, never cared much for Sony 1st party. But I guess I'll also take that Demon's remake, Little Big Mario and some other smaller shit like Kera (or whatever it's called) if it isn't total shit.

Fuck the ps5.
I mean yeah, we all know that they need to start thinking about new shit other than graphics to impress? Guess streaming will be the next step, even though I don't like it one bit. Yet PS5 would've always been a very likely purchase for me, even if it was simply to continue playing that PS4 backlog but in pro-mode. Right now we're getting games like Control that base consoles can't handle properly anymore, so I always saw next gen like a smartphone-esque upgrade at best. And today's show I treated more like a normal E3 for games I might look forward to, while not realistically expecting mindblowing innovation tbh. I guess Ratchet was the most impressive for me visually? The gameplay of the PS4 title didn't really convince me though (only one I played).Streaming in itself isn't new or impressive anymore, either. It already exists. I can already suck at Doom Eternal on my phone while taking a dump, don't even have to subscribe to some half assed service like Stadia. That's not good enough. I don't know. Waggle in its initial implementation was arse, but at the same time, it was the foundation for the control scheme we have in a much more refined form in VR right now. Maybe cloud assisted computing could make a return? I still think there's potential. Or those companies could come up with something else, something truly new and out of the box.

tried watching the presentation and was just....bored the whole time; hitman 3 was probably the most exciting thing for me, but i'm just coming to terms that i think the current video game world is not for meNah it's just this presentation and Sony's 'unfun' vibes in general.
The more I think about this reveal, the more I think about stuff that should've/would've? been there but wasn't.
- Ubisoft (Valhalla? Splinter Cell? Beyond Good & Evil?)
- EA (Need for Speed? FIFA?)
- SEGA (Sonic?, Yakuza?)
- More Capcom (DMC6?)
- Hideo Kojima ( ? )
- Namco Bandai (Tekken? Ridge Racer? Ace Combat?)
- Cyberpunk next gen?
- Fortnite / Epic Games? Other BR/service games? Destiny 2?
- Bethesda? (more than 1 game)
- Warner Bros? (Batman?)
- Activision Blizzard?
- 2K games (Bioshock?)
The third party offerings reminded me more of a Nintendo console reveal. Especially the GTAV Remaster Remaster.

tbh I remember the PS4 reveal being meh as hell, but the system ended up being excellent. So who knows? Corona probably threw a lot of companies' plans out the window, and I expect some big delays for a lot of these titles... Honestly I'm surprised that PS5 and Series X are even coming out this year. But to be honest, a lot of the 'gamier' games that I enjoy don't really translate well to the rapid-succession-trailer format though, so everything looks kinda samey and "seen it before".
I really wish that Sony wouldn't have let their old PS1 and PS2 Japanese IP flounder so badly. I'd kill for a new Wild Arms, Arc the Lad, or Velldeselba Senki.

It'd probably load faster but it tries to stream 2KTV during loading. You can be completely loaded but have to wait on 2KTV so you can cancel it.

I mean I totally came so..
i feel like i watched a different presentation than everybody else? like yeah i won't be buying most of these games but they showed off a huge variety of gameplay, art styles, devs. there wasn't some magic game that will forever change how games are played but come the fuck on. this hardly looks like an endless parade of saturated bald space marines, or a system betting on gimmicks or whatever. sony just said hey you want video games here's a fuckton, you want big names well we got them all. yet the thread looks like a bunch of teenagers whining that their parents bought them a used car instead of brand new one or something. i'm not saying you need to be jizzing over this shit but it hardly looks like the creative death of the industry.Excuse me it was all garbage because they like every conference post XBL Arcade spent time on indie. Also it was garbage because they showed nothing new. It also sucked that they didn’t show enough sequels. It was also also a pos that they didn’t have thier usual cinematic action games.
the fact Whitta had anything to do with the SE project kinda lowers my hype some. :lol

The console is aggressively ugly. Like, astonishingly so.
Outside of the furry high school sitcom special episodes, GTA 5 and GT7 I fucked with all of this conference :yeshrugThe Xbox is just kinda bland and functional, along the lines of a sound bar or whatever... the ps5 looks like a bad early 00s sci-fi take on futurism.

Spider Man is a remaster

The console is aggressively ugly. Like, astonishingly so.

When the unofficial Sony HQ on the internet turns on you, you know someone fucked up.
Also, the PS5 needs a stand to be laid horizontally? Look at this pic comparison too

It's a fucking overdesigned monster.
found another size comparison in that thread:

The graphics look more or less like the old one, but with much better textures for the character, and more traffic density (for the little they show between all the depth of field and motion blur).Spider Man is a remaster

The wording of that is very weird, some are saying it's a new game (remaster part is because same map ???), others saying remaster with DLC...

I can totally believe that it's a graphical remaster, with added Bronx & Queens (or whatever that rumor hinted at)as a Infamous First Light type of thing.

Play-Asia marks up their prices on new consoles, so $600 is a good bet.

Quarantine transformed Kyle Bosman in to Jarvis Cocker, apparently.
What’s the latest they’ve ever revealed a price? I swear usually they’ve released it by now.PS4 and X1 was during E3. So basically these days, but they both had their reveals earlier. Especially PS4 had that February event. I assume they're gonna wait until August when they've got the other event. Unless MS already announces their price and they'll try to counter it.
Are they actually just going to wait until a month before launch to say how much it is?
It’s kind of worrying that they’re so hesitant to say it costs this, can’t wait for it to be $700 and people to flip out
I want both the XXX and the PS5 to be silly money purely for the meltdown potential 8)
$599 - $699 at launch for a model with a disk drive seems realistic.
The NVme SSD's are still quite expensive.
RDNA2 gpu's aren't even out in the wild yet and ship at the end of this year.
That doesn't even factor in the manufacturing issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic so they likely won't have a ton of supply either.
And in general demand for consoles is high.
Xbox One and PS4 were quite cheap because Microsoft and Sony picked off the shelf parts.
The PS4 shipped November 2013, a full year after the Radeon 7800 series the GPU was based on shipped, which by then had already seen a price drop.
The Xbox One X shipped at $500, so unless MS sells it as a loss they're not going to hit a price below that at launch.
I'm saying $699 for both and one of them might even go as high as $749 depending on supply.
Microsoft releases most if not all their games cross gen with smart delivery.
Plus they're working on a cheaper revision that sits between X and PS5.
The full line-up will probably look like this:
Xbox One D - $199
Nintendo Switch Lite - $199
PS4 Slim - $249
Nintendo Switch - $299
PS4 Pro - $349
Xbox One X - $399
Xbox Series S - $499
PS5 D - $599
PS5 - $699
Xbox Series X - $749
For the holidays or pre-orders they might shave off $50 from the price.
Next year when the dust settles and production has ramped up, they'll probably cut $100 by summer.
There's is no reason for both MS and Sony to launch these machines at a loss.

That's the main reason why i'd never go digital only on console.
On PC i can buy my games (digitally) from wherever, but on console i can only do so from Sony's store.
Well it’s weird as the whole graphic fidelity argument is that games can’t really advance anymore at the moment, it’s super weird though, that’s why Sony are all about the oh look instant load times, despite games like 2k already having a two second load time... once the gen gets into swing I’m sure we’ll see some truly next gen stuff, but as for launch there isn’t any games that fully use the consoles power, well I hope not anyway as from what we’ve seen none have been super impressive at all.
The cost is pretty high for a console especially one where you’re going to be paying the absolute maximum for games if you stupidly choose digital only.
No, PSN codes count i suppose, but as you say there's very little price variation, and less avenues.That's the main reason why i'd never go digital only on console.
On PC i can buy my games (digitally) from wherever, but on console i can only do so from Sony's store.
You can buy PSN game codes from other sites (or did you mean the same game from different storefronts like Steam and GOG?). But they don't usually get discounted as much or as quickly as PC games do so it seems like most people just get them directly on their PS4s.
Another minor gripe I have with console storefronts is that it takes longer for games and updates to download from them compared to the PC storefronts.

Sony has a history of making standalone dlc that you can buy as a taster. They often include those first on psn plus so people like it and buy the full game.

I dunno, is there any credibility to the previous rumor the PSCinco's cost was roughly $450? (honestly considering everything that's in it, I'm not sure, although maybe they got money back from some out of business router company for taking dead inventory off their hands for the shell of the units)
I could see a reality where the Cinco disc version comes in at $500, the digital version at $400, and the series X is already rumored to be $600 right?
WHO CAN SAY BUT SPECULATION IS FUNspoiler (click to show/hide)Both regular, non-nerfed consoles will be $600[close]
What game was that?! I’m done watching streams after that PC gaming one.

The UHD drive throws off the balance. The digital only version looks fine.
Sony will deffo make the disc drive version more expensive so they can trick people into going digital...

Reminds me that Michel Ancel's Sony game seems dead for good now... Might have been my game of choice now that BG&E2 is online-only. Though I wouldn't be surprised if that also becomes vaporware.

Will they really dare to charge 599 US dollars?
It's gonna be interesting with Sony moving development over to the PS5 when sales won't be that high, especially in the first year. I imagine they'll still have to put ps4 games out like MS.
Tasty talking about price while buying Nintendo's 10yo hardware for 300 bucks day 1 :lol
I'll be surprised if it lands anywhere below $699
I bet those fancy controllers cost $79 a piece. Switch Pro Controllers already cost $69 and Joy-Cons $79
'Value' means they'll probably pack-in the stand next to the free game (Astrobot) and the controller.
The earlier rumors indicated that Sony would release a PS5 and PS5 Pro but they probably settled for specs right in the middle.
Specs were also boosted from the rumored 9TF to 10+ TF. Likely making it more expensive.
Microsoft may offer the $499 option with the 7TF 'Lockhart' down the line. For the first 1 - 2 years these are to be premium machines though as they continue to sell PS4 and Xbox One models.
MS and Sony are basically both waiting for the other to reveal pricing so they can undercut the competition or convince their management to take a hit on the bottom line.
A comparable 9TF RDNA GPU (5700XT) from AMD would set you back $400 without Ray Tracing support.
The PS5 is using a newer RDNA 2.0 architecture which won't be available for PC GPU's until late 2020.
I can see Microsoft dropping the Series X at $749 at launch or even $799 at 12TF. Unless they managed to cut costs somewhere.
Unlike the previous gen we're getting a real generational leap on paper.
Like it or not though, that 10 year old hardware has been the most popular and successful world wide :doge

US$499.99 (20 GB model) US$599.99 (60 GB model)$100 for dat extra phat 40GB :lawd
At $600 even... like the PS3 launch price... should at least have a better launch line up I would think... Right?? :-\
I mean... compare the prices of the PS3 launch (US)QuoteUS$499.99 (20 GB model) US$599.99 (60 GB model)$100 for dat extra phat 40GB :lawd
Though Raist is the last one that should shit on Nintendyearolds, considering he's acting the exact same but for Sony.
The 20 GB model didn't have wifi, too, lol.
They've also used "value" when they talked about the PS4 price :yeshrugIn that case it made more sens tho, 399$ was relatively cheap for a new console, and 100$ less than the competition, at launch.
You'll get your free on-disk copy of Astrobot and you'll LOVE IT.
PS4 Pro is currently 399 Euro / $399
Microsoft dropped the Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X edition for 499 Euro / $399
(but it was an Xbox so one store ran a promotion for 299 Euro)
With the old generation consoles still at those prices and in high demand prior to the new generation I'm not expecting it to come in below $599 and that would honestly surprise me given the hardware that's packed into these machines.
There's also the trend of Sony 'premium pricing' all their TV's, devices and electronics.
I just got a One X second hand for 200 so Im good for now.
Wont upgrad if its more then 399.Like it or not though, that 10 year old hardware has been the most popular and successful world wide :doge
If you dont count ps4?
Sure Switch is "300" bucks with that bi-yearly controller replacement :goldbergLike it or not though, that 10 year old hardware has been the most popular and successful world wide :doge
And Mahvel is the most successul movie brand. Still is trash for any enthusiast of the medium though. :idont Though Raist is the last one that should shit on Nintendyearolds, considering he's acting the exact same but for Sony.
Need that BC info. If it is indeed BC for the majority of games out of the box, that alone is worth the price of $600, imo.
If it has full BC, maybe with even boostmode, how am i asked to rebuy GTAV, instead of just getting my PS4 disc in? :doge(https://i.imgur.com/3COH5jh.png)
(I don't have GTAV on ps4, but i'm just saying).

(I don't have GTAV on ps4, but i'm just saying).
But yeah, I totally get it (or don't per se). That's one of my burning questions particularly for Cyberpunk 2077. Will my PS4 version be boosted in any way? But they up and say there'll be a free upgrade for the boner smegma X edition... what about PS4 to 5?? How much more will it be "enhanced" other than resolution? That technical stuff is totally out of my league, but I still want answers. :P
Huh... never heard of Smart Delivery. After looking that up, wonder how long MS will support that. 15 years down the road, buy a used copy of GTAV for XBX for $3.99 bargain bin, only to drop it into XX Box Pro Series Y Ver. 10 w/ disc drive only to upgrade to a Enhanced version that they'll still charge $30 for. Thinking about it more, I guess they'll support it until physical media becomes irrelevant to them?Smart Delivery is only "guaranteed" on first party titles, AFAIK.
The minute MS isn't getting their ass destroyed in marketshare anymore, you can bet they'll scale it back.Sure, but that may take a while.
Remember how much better PS+ used to be?
Can't wait till God of War is eventually on Game Pass in 2026 on the Xbox 10. Can't imagine spending hundreds of dollars to play that shit :lolBy that time, the monthly subscription will be like $40. :doge

Need that BC info. If it is indeed BC for the majority of games out of the box, that alone is worth the price of $600, imo. Shoot, the PS4Pro model is still sitting at $400... Why not "future proof" (I use that word loosely) your backlog for at least a few years longer (with "next-gen benefits") for an extra $200? I got well over 200 games on PS4 currently.. It's simply a no brainer for someone so invested into thepit of despairecosystem.
During the PS5 system specs deep dive in March 2020, Mike Cerny revealed that nearly all of the top 100 PS4 games (ranked by playtime) would be playable on the PS5 at launch.
This was later elaborated on in a post by Hideaki Nishino on the official PlayStation blog about the PS5 specs. There it was explained that Sony hopes that the majority of games released for the PS4 will be playable on the PS5.
It's important to note that only games from the top 100 games played by PS4 users will be backwards compatible by launch and, even then, the whole list might not be available. The list of backwards compatible games for the PS5 will steadily grow after the console's release, similar to, we imagine, how the list of 360 games playable on the Xbox One has grown since it's debut.
They're probably going to try and score the nostalgia points.The minute MS isn't getting their ass destroyed in marketshare anymore, you can bet they'll scale it back.Sure, but that may take a while.
Remember how much better PS+ used to be?
I saw people on RE (and other gaming places) expecting MS to come at this hard this coming July event, but i'm here thinking: It takes a base minimum of 2/3 years to develop a modern AAA game, make that 4 or 5 for an open world, they just bought these studios, many of which were relatively small to begin with... how are we expecting them to pull out a line up that can contrast Sony's when they've been pouring in cash in their first party stuff since PS3's second half, at least? Especially with COVID having slowed down everything slated for 2021 and beyond.
Their current chance, is just the EGS strategy of "hey, just take these "free" games!".
But maybe the Forza Horizon team really has been working on a new Fable game that will blow people's minds, i have my doubts, especially if crossgen.
No way they have Hellblade 2 for launch.Ah I missed the UE5 for Hellblade 2. That won't ship until 2021 then.
I don't even think it's a 2021 title.
The game just swiutched engine to UE5, which isn't even coming out till end of 2021, now ofc. thay have preferential treatment, but if they're still that early as to be able to switch around engine, there's no way they're out by the holidays.
Forza Motorsport and Halo Inf. are the only big titles i think are plausible for launch (and Forza is still a niche product).
And tbh, 343 still has to demonstrate the ability to do a decent Halo experience, not a sure fire hit at all.
By comparison Guerrilla, Naughty Dog, Insomniac, are much better established studios.
MS Flight Sim looks amazing, but it's also super niche.
Thing is, even in the nostalgia department, they don't all that much.
If they cultivate these studios well, i think we'll see the benefits by halfway through the gen.

Like the PS3 was. PS3 including one of the first Blu-ray (movie) drives IMO offered way more value at launch, even at $600, than the PS5 does. Cheap 4K Blu-ray players abound, and Blu-ray isn't a brand-new format anymore. The value proposition is way less.

Those are way off. The Xbone is slightly larger than the PS3, for instance. But according to that pic it's significantly smaller.
Same thing with the early pics comparing the PS5 and XxXbOxXx Series XxX. According to those, the DS5 (Dualsense, whatevs) was gigantic compared to the Xbox controller :lol
I think they are just using the Xbox One S instead of the OG.
I was expecting certain titles like Sekiro, Dark Souls 3, Yakuza 0 or even Def Stranding.. :doge
The most next gen thing possible would be something like Elder Scrolls with no load times, not short or instant load times, straight up you walk into every building and dungeon with no interruptions.
If that's achievable next gen, I'd be impressed beyond belief. It's not about doing an old process at lightning speed, it's about new processes made possible with the technology.

Apparently Astro's Playroom comes pre-installed on all PS5's. :aweshum
God fucking damn that's a rough lookin' 36
God fucking damn that's a rough lookin' 36
that's clearly achievable. whether devs will put in the effort to do that will be done on a game by game basis.This thing isn't even pushing a brand-new physical media format :confused
:thinking eh whatchu talking about?
Like the PS3 was. PS3 including one of the first Blu-ray (movie) drives IMO offered way more value at launch, even at $600, than the PS5 does. Cheap 4K Blu-ray players abound, and Blu-ray isn't a brand-new format anymore. The value proposition is way less.
Not every console can be perfectly designed:tocry

And all you could hear was the prrrr of the disk drive :heart
:delicious
what % of load times is shuffling raw data from the HDD into the RAM? surely there's a bunch more processes needed to be done if you're loading an entirely new environment that are going to ruin the "no load times ever" dream?Yeah, some things will have to be resident at all times, too, like certain audio effects, but I'm trying to be optimistic.

I mean, I get what you're saying... and I agree for the most part (even though we've literally had this conversation countless times for years and years :lol)... There would need to be some serious QOL adjustments made to how I game; PC location (my work location basically),and/or running cables to my big TV in the living room... I absolutely can not game at a desk on a monitor. I do too much work at one on a daily basis... I need to lounge when I game.. no question. But I can't move my work PC over there... unless I'm going for a complete new build to invest in... I can't justify that purchase at a one time price (or even monthly payments), all the while, still needing a 4K display... On the Sony route though, I'm willing to take my chance that they won't back out of some form of BC moving forward..

They're cheaper on PC. :P In all seriousness, it would benefit you a lot more because of the discounted prices alone. PC game prices are often discounted right at release or go on sale much faster. I dunno; I mean, nothing is stopping you from keeping your PS4 and then getting new games on PC if you wanted to try that route. I definitely prefer to get digital games on there over consoles since I don't have to be anywhere near as concerned on whether or not the older games will work or be supported on new hardware, too.
tbf Steam sales are way overrated at this point compared to PSN/XBL and even physical discounts. Mabye it gets to the bottom a little quicker, but if I'm not day1-ing, then I don't care if it takes 1 year or 1 year and a half. There's more opportunity to get free shit on PC, but then again, I don't think I really ever touched any of the stuff that gets thrown at me.

Boy do I have the application for you (https://store.steampowered.com/steamlink/about/)If only the Steamlink app was available on PS4. :heh I have a 'dumb' TV still, so I would need another device to hook up to it. The Steamlink hardware is being scalped too high a price now, imo. Does a roku or some cheap thing like that have it?
Also unless you're an insane person that wants to blow money out your asshole daily to the tech lords like Bork: You don't need a 4K monitor. FFS, a 1080p monitor will do you fine for work and gaming for a good long while.
Steamlink works fine for me, but the lag and the amount of artifacting can vary wildly based on your setup and a dash of randomness.Yeah,.. if that didn't bother me, I'd just go with Stadia, lolamiright?

I just think with you being 100% digital and liking to go back and play older stuff from 1-2 generations ago, PC makes more sense.This is mostly only the case when I can have it on my phone basically.. which usually narrows down to either RPG's or point and click style games..

I suppose you saw in the random thread that I tried Sekiro on my work PC and it runs like greased tits.. I'm starting to consider demo'ing more games on it... It could be a start to gaining a better PC library. It'll be a long road for transition. Definitely not an overnight thing.
Back to PS5 concerns, another thing I'd need to know is if Plex would be available for it immediately... Plex is my primary streaming source/app. I know that can be remedied easily with a chromecast, roku, whatever, but it would be awfully convenient if it were available for PS5.
Yes... I should be doing this. :-[I just think with you being 100% digital and liking to go back and play older stuff from 1-2 generations ago, PC makes more sense.This is mostly only the case when I can have it on my phone basically.. which usually narrows down to either RPG's or point and click style games..

If you think you're gonna get a new TV soon, I'd wait on this, but if not...a Roku is less than $30 and will do all of this stuff. My experiences with streaming games in general has always been kind of shitty (although trying PS4 to my phone recently worked pretty well), so can't comment on how well Steamlink works. I have one and never hooked it up (got it for $1!). Maybe one of these days.Yeah... I'd like a new tv... mines been great for the past 9 years, but I'd like a smart tv, bigger screen, and better speakers, 4K...
That DF video was pretty good. I suspected some RT in those trailers, but with everything moving so fast, I wasn't sure.TBH i'm not as ecstatic as they are for RT reflections.

we've seen some pretty impressive GI solutions without RT (including UE5's, as you mention).That DF video was pretty good. I suspected some RT in those trailers, but with everything moving so fast, I wasn't sure.TBH i'm not as ecstatic as they are for RT reflections.
I played Control and i would sometimes activate RT (tanking the framerate to single digits) just to see how various areas looked like, and the difference was, usually, underwhelmingly similar.
Seeing some reflections on glass is pretty cool, but not 20fps cool.
Hopefully on console, it doesn't eat too much performance.
Reflections are one thing, but the lighting system is where the true potential lies. Though UE5's lighting system is insane without RT.

I love big Ubisoft like open world games.Well... they are still making those. Not everything has to be in that mold though.
Watched the Ray Tracing vid of digital foundry.
Some impressive implementation, the Capgods of course doing it the best.
Bodes well for the future support of Ray tracing.
HZD didnt feel like a typical Ubisoft game to me at allCouldn't see the heart through the waves of guys I had to mow down before the open world part.
Way too much personality and heart in it for that
Don’t even remember what you are talking about.It's like in the first hour of the game, lol but it was enough to turn me off the rest of it.
But yeah, the human combat was weak.
Still one of the best games of the gen for me.
I would've been in for the robot fights, but I can't with western devs that can't help themselves and turn robot dinosaurs into some pretentious story with RPG mechanics. Concept should've been done by someone like Platinum.So they could've copy/pasted Bayonetta's combat for the 11th time? :smug

No but shittalking aside, Nier Automata is the very definition of pointless open world bloat, tacked on a fun action game.
I say this while not liking Horizon's approach to open world.
nier Automata needs the bloat because your mind can't take too much Yoko Taro at once.People make it out to be be weirder than it is. :trumps
I smell many memes being generated from that pic.Looks like that "this is how white people smile at you on the street" meme.
I want both the XXX and the PS5 to be silly money purely for the meltdown potential 8)
And pushing people to PC. Way spend $200 less when you get a future proofed hardware for the next console generation. :smug
*TO BE CONFIRMED*
_
We know very little about AMD's RT solution so it's really just hard to say what they pulled off. The near silence on it doesn't seem encouraging, the only thing we have is MS's Minecraft demo which wasn't super promising.
PS5 might have custom RT though; that Tempest engine for 3d Audio sounded way overpowered for 3d audio and theoretically could be used to perform some RT calculations.
But that's dipping a bit into "secret sauce" territory.
In Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales, set in winter one year after the events of the previous game, Miles' Harlem home is on the verge of being torn apart by a war between an energy corporation and a criminal organization armed to the teeth with advanced tech. It's not a formal sequel to Spider-Man. That, if the coy responses from the creatives are any sign, may or may not be coming later. It's a shorter spin-off, likened in scope to the Lost Legacy game in the Uncharted series. Nevertheless, Intihar promises "it has a lot of heart."
They actually have at least 1 first party launch title, so that list war is won :lolMm, isn't it mostly an expansion to an already existing game? Granted it's more than X has at this point. :doge
"It has a lot of heart" :lol That's a new one.
Anyway i enjoyed Spiderman enough, so i'm looking forward to play this eventually, but i'm not sure it justifies 500€ of console. ::)
Too bad they killed Psygnosis and we don't get a new Wipeout at launch.
It's a shame that Ridge Racer Switch project was never finished. Would've been a great fit for the platform.Too bad they killed Psygnosis and we don't get a new Wipeout at launch.
I think I would rather an old-school Ridge Racer at this point. :walkaway
This shit is launching in ostensibly 3ish months and we STILL don't have date and price, lolMicrosoft apparently delayed their next 'mic drop moment' from August to September to unveil the Series S. So that's probably when the price will be announced.

Or a traditional Hot Shots Golf...
A lot of Sony's smaller/cheaper/faster to develop launch kind of games are missing because the game industry has killed all games that aren't AAA or indie :(
I don't expect a non-VR/non-mobile HSG on PS5. I'll be happy to be wrong though.
Everybody’s Golf / Hot Shots Golf series developer Clap Hanz has trademarked “Clap Hanz Golf” in Japan, and Izanagi Games has trademarked “World’s End Club.”
While the Everybody’s Golf / Hot Shots Golf series is owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment, it is possible Clap Hanz is currently working on an independent golf title. The studio has only ever created games for Sony Interactive Entertainment, however, so it is also possible it is expanding to non-golf titles and will use “Clap Hanz Golf” as branding for future golf titles.
Best launch in recent memory for me was probably the PSP. Lumines, Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Hot Shots Golf. I'd say PSP, Dreamcast are the best launches I can remember. I don't think any of the Playstations had good launch lineup day 1.
Also keep in mind that launch lineups were better when there was a 6 month gap between Japan launch and western launch since it gave devs 6 months longer to finish their games and get out for launch.
Day 1 launches have always been barebones. Remember Fantavision?
"It has a lot of heart" :lol That's a new one.
Anyway i enjoyed Spiderman enough, so i'm looking forward to play this eventually, but i'm not sure it justifies 500€ of console. ::)
I can easily see both ps5 and xbox getting pushed back to march next year cuz there will be no games ready for them :lol :lol :lolHonestly this is what should happen given the current state of the world but neither company wants to blink and potentially let the other have the Holiday season all to themselves.
Got an email to register for possible pre-order. Guess we'll see. :doge
It's the new announcements of up coming announcements! :rejoiceGot an email to register for possible pre-order. Guess we'll see. :doge
Pre-orders for pre-orders! GET HYPE!! :hyper
Honestly if I wasn't a PeeCee gamer I'd be buying next-gen consoles to run CyberPunk in BC.
That game is probably going to suck even on Pro/XOX
Damn right... and I'll most likely be there hanging on for the rough beginning ride... Only to have a boost when I transfer it to PS5, and then, further boosted when the next gen upgrade patch drops onto it.. It'll feel like gradually upgrading my cybernetic implants in the game.. the FULL PRAYSTATION CYBORPUNX SEXPERIENCEZ. :wooooHonestly if I wasn't a PeeCee gamer I'd be buying next-gen consoles to run CyberPunk in BC.

Launch PS4 will take off like a jet engine.
Its interesting that Snoys are all about 1080/60 now that they don't have the most powerful console anymore.
That shit adds up, yo!
I'm impatient as shit.. way more excited for SSD than anything else lol
As well as PCIE 4.0 drives on PC, and beyond. Although PCs lacking dedicated decompression hardware / not having as streamlined / customized I/O is gonna set them back, for quite a while I think.
Before PlayStation 5 launches this holiday, we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!).https://blog.playstation.com/2020/09/12/watch-live-playstation-5-showcase-on-wednesday-september-16/amp/
Our next digital showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners.
Tune in live on Twitch or YouTube this Wednesday, September 16 at 1pm PDT / 9pm BST / 10pm CEST to see what’s next for PS5.
Then the new gen will be the same as the current one. :yeshrug
THE NEWS YOU HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Go! Go! 5 Jigen Game Neptune: re★Verse, from Compile Heart, is...
...a port of Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1 Plus for PC, which was a port of a Vita game, which was a port/redone version of a PS3 game. :dizzy
Avengers looks better than this.
At least looks better than that LOTR Golem game. lol
Guys, are videogames just bad now?
Game will be great but man, this generation's visuals are gonna be disappointing, ain't they?

So how is the digital $399 ps5 different from the $299 lower tier that leaked for xbox?
So how is the digital $399 ps5 different from the $299 lower tier that leaked for xbox?
Same gpu on the digital version as the regular PS Cinco, not gimped.
I have Xbox Live Ultimate. So I have Gamepass on pc and console. Gamepass has only been worthwhile two times. When I wanted to try out Outer Worlds and Gears 5. Two games I don’t care about. Gamepass does nothing for me because I’m not going to wait a year for say FFXV or DMCV to come to it. No I’m intersted in those games so I get them when they come out. Oh boy years later Yakuza 0 is on Gamepass. A game I beat years ago. So it’s really just MS first party which is pretty mediocre at best. And the developers they bought are pretty meh on average. So I don’t care about what MS does. I have an Xbox One X. They did jack shit with it.That was a great showing.QuoteOk sure bud seems Im talking to a Sony plant here without a :brainNope, just talking to someone who dosen't want to hate everything.
No, you obviously have no clue about what Gamepass offers so you try to shit on it instead by saying they have no games.
FFXVI- also on PCThis confirmed? Megaton.
Demon's Souls- also on PC
Spider-Man Miles Morales- also on PS4
Thanks for saving me money, Sony!
:rejoice
The Series S seems like a bit of a waste now. Who the fuck would keep 100$ for a console that can only play XONE games day one, and not as well as the ONE X?
What a joke.
Yeah it’s so odd that I like FF one of the longest running and biggest Japanese series. And that I like that it looks like the new one is in line with XIV, one of the most praised installments in the series.That was a great showing.

Gamepass does nothing for me because I’m not going to wait a year for say FFXV or DMCV to come to it. No I’m intersted in those games so I get them when they come out. Oh boy years later Yakuza 0 is on Gamepass. A game I beat years ago. So it’s really just MS first party which is pretty mediocre at best. And the developers they bought are pretty meh on average. So I don’t care about what MS does. I have an Xbox One X. They did jack shit with it.That was a great showing.QuoteOk sure bud seems Im talking to a Sony plant here without a :brainNope, just talking to someone who dosen't want to hate everything.
No, you obviously have no clue about what Gamepass offers so you try to shit on it instead by saying they have no games.
In 40 mins Sony had a show with a new FF that looked promising. Great looks at big first year titles like Demon Souls and Spider-man. Nice other reveals like Harry Potter( it was leaked before so?). And the promise of a new sequel in GoW. In 40 mins it was basicly “yep the PS4 style is continuing”.
If your not into that that’s your deal. But this was an excellent showing for anyone who has liked the PS4.
Keighley is saying Demon Souls is a launch gameGosh I hope so. All my focus is on that game right now. Everything else can suck it... .... except Cyberpunk...
It does look like an offline MMO. :teeheeYeah it’s so odd that I like FF one of the longest running and biggest Japanese series. And that I like that it looks like the new one is in line with XIV, one of the most praised installments in the series.That was a great showing.
I'm sorry my dude but how was this a great showing? 99% of these games have been shown before
Rahx is... well, he likes what he likes. I don't get it but
:yeshrug
It’s so odd!
It’s so confusing that someone likes popular things and consoles that are the next one from the most popular modern console. Can’t understand that!
What's the tl;dr on what else was announced?
mmarsu, you can til at the windmill of Rahx's taste or just accept that he's, like, this weird xillenial that likes what he likes. I gave up long ago trying to make sense of it and just sort of let him be wrong constantly, it's fiiiiiiiiiiiine honestly.Quite honestly. You come off as a jaded asshole and you should shut the fuck up.
You people
Horizon coming to PS4 as well
No way Demon Souls comes to Xbox. It will be PC+PS5 only
Horizon coming to PS4 as well
Hahahah what???????????? :lol

Wrong about what? That I like things like FF and what PlayStation first party offers? I’m sorry I’m not an asshole like you so I don’t have a stick up my ass and have this delusional pretension like you.
I know you like to play the “I’m just so above it all card” but your shtick is very annoying. The big difference here is when you offer your opinion, I don’t give a shit. When I offer mine you like to post shit like you did in this thread.mmarsu, you can til at the windmill of Rahx's taste or just accept that he's, like, this weird xillenial that likes what he likes.

I am ABSOLUTELY a jaded asshole and will not shut the fuck up. I like plenty of Sony first party shit (Dad of War, Horizon) but you just have different tastes than I do. I know you perceive ANY FUCKING ATTENTION AT ALL as an attack but honestly, I was serious when I was telling mmarsu to just let you be. You're not hurting anyone other than your own eyeballs with your gaming habits, more power to you. Go like your shitty "action" FF, plz enjoy.

Why don’t you actually act like you talk for once.

I wonder if it will end up on PS4, too, then? That "not available on other consoles for a limited time" shown at the end of the trailer has to mean something.
:thinking
But how does BC worrrrrrrk I need to play my *checks notes* Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon? (https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/playstation-4/games/products/is-it-wrong-to-try-to-pick-up-girls-in-a-dungeon%3F-infinite-combate/11099625.html) this is important

You probably didn't notice it, but there's actually an Xbox Series S in that gif.
watch the RE8 trailer. looks like they're going for a RE4 vibe.
If Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition isn't a DLC add-on for previous owners since it was released last year, I'm gonna be fucking angry.
The visuals were underwhelming.Far from me trying to diminish your hype.
But I’m excited because obviously it’s FF. But it already looks to have a different tone and vibe then the last couple of FF games. The dialogue in the trailer was not too cringy and like XIV. Heavensword had one of the best stories in the series. If they could hit that again that would be great. I also am up for a non nomura FF. I don’t care about the action combat. If it’s good it’s good, but that battle was lost years ago. It could easily be good, VIIR was.
I’m excited because new installments in series I like simply mean chances at new games I’ll like. I also don’t feel I am at all cynical when it comes to games.
Also the fact that it was a long trailer, with plenty of gameplay, and English voice acting is promising.
It also didn’t look fake.
I also think it will look better with a better quality video.

Dem prices
Got a pre-order in under Walmart USA after 20 mins of trying or something
...then they cancelled it one minute later :'(
So a reasonable console price this time around, but game prices are going up? Has MS announced Series X game prices yet?I've seen the Xbox Series X Edition of Call of Duty Black Ops listed for 84,99 Euro :killme
Rahx is such a joke :roflHow because I don’t hate everything like you people do? Because I think a game you’ve never played could be good? That I think PlayStation is good because it continues to offer things while Xbox just does nothing for me? That I find posters likes snorenado annoying because I get attacked for not falling in line with their cynicism on everything?
dumb
no1curr
Is the Black Ops alpha one day only?
Aaaand Best Buy has crashed and no one can check out but everyone in the past 10 mins has it in their cart.
Last hope will be Amazon US at some point...
Bebs, baby, there's not shit on it at launch. Whocurr?
Can I just go to GameStop and pay now?
But will the GameStop still be open by then.
Can I just go to GameStop and pay now?
The 6 month moneyhatting of FF really pisses me off.
Ok, apparently I bought some bundle for $828 from Gamestop and I have no idea what's in it
What is it that you want to play so badly that you'd even get scammed for one of these?
I mean I was ready to drop $1,000 with scalpers as a severe backup if I had to. It is what it is.(https://i.imgur.com/WGzICCs.jpg)
I've spent the last 3 hours trying every avenue possible to get one. I don't think I've ever missed a day 1 system launch outside Xbox One which I never got since like NES?
You could die of a brain clot next year, enjoy new game stuff.
Still, I'd like to know what I just bought lol Page is down and can't figure out what's in the bundle.
50$ for DLC, i need to lie down.
That comes with extra waifus, tho.50$ for DLC, i need to lie down.
Is that better or worse than Persona 5 Royal
PlayStation 5 is backward compatible with “99 percent” of the PlayStation 4 library, Sony Interactive Entertainment president and CEO Jim Ryan told Washington Post.
PlayStation Plus subscribers will be able to utilize backward compatibility on day one of the console’s launch via the PlayStation Plus Collection, which includes access to 18 of PlayStation 4’s most critically-acclaimed titles.
Yeah, it's always seemed pretty obvious the BC was 100% they just haven't tested every last game 100% QA'd so they can't say it's 100%.
The console comes out in less than 2 months, and we don't even know how it enhances BC games. :fbm
Hopefully in October.
I don't expect BloodBorne at 60fps anyway, that dream is dead. :-\

??? No it hasn't, considering Sony's track record of BC has been dogshit these past few consoles
The same Jim Ryan who said "who the fuck wants to play this old shit"
I hope all of the games in that PS+ collection get that patch.The console comes out in less than 2 months, and we don't even know how it enhances BC games. :fbm
Hopefully in October.
I don't expect BloodBorne at 60fps anyway, that dream is dead. :-\
Actually we do know this one. Though there's a shit ton of stuff we don't know about the system in general.
When you play a PS4 game you get three options (potentially 4)
Compatibility mode PS4 - Plays the game exactly 1:1 the same as playing on the PS4
Compatibility mode PS4 Pro - Plays the game exactly 1:1 the same as playing on the PS4 pro
Boost Mode - lol, let the emulator fly, maybe some games will load faster, have better framerates (if they were unlocked to begin with), might break some games. Aka Boost Mode on PS2/PS3/Pro.
4th option is upgrade patch. This will be game specific if a developer wants to put the effort in to basically remaster the game at higher settings (4k/60fps/120fps/etc...) for PS5. I have a feeling there's not going to be many of these and they might not come all too quick. I'm hoping Ghost of Tsushima gets one of these, same with Last of Us II, and I expect they both will but it might be like 3-12 months later.
i'll take the game working properly. idk why devs would put work into improving a game for a new system with no incentive. seems crazy. bumping up res and patching performance then testing those changes would require people to work for free. that's what fan community pc stuff is for /shrugYou can keep selling the game on PS5 though, and that'd be an incentive.
Oh, well another reason BC on console dosen't do much for me is there's a limit to what can be improved.
Like yeah maybe PS5 can boost say Gravity Rush 2 to the best picture quality possible, but I doubt it can make it run at 60fps.
I guess it's a good thing lots of games towards the end of this gen had unlocked fps.
If i play a 5 years old game on a new GPU, i can blast it in 4K, no reason why they can't push for that on consoles with (minimal) work, like Xbox one X BC does anyway, you can play Xbox 360 or even OG Xbox games in 4K.
Why would Sony do this on some of their top shelf products for free? Because it's good publicity, it reinforces those brands, it reinforces their brand in general, and it pushes new people to try out those games in the first place.
Sony is putting 90% of their eggs in their "exclusives" basket, so nurturing those exclusives through time, is entirely within that strategy.
Really, pushing BB to run in 4K on PS5 with a patch can't take all that much work. :yeshrug
I still have no idea why you call me Justin :samoa
Yeah, I figure as much.. but surely there'll be some benefit playing it on PS5 vs. base PS4. I'll take faster load times, if anything.PS5 Nov. 12, then a week later, Cyberpunk.... :rejoice
that is, If I can manage to snag one.. stayed up half the night refreshing everything that I could to pre-order. No luck at all. :(
Yeah that next gen patch is a ways away though.

Or you could just get it on your PC, where it will likely still look/run better compared to the PS4 version. :doge
https://www.dualshockers.com/ps5-forward-compatible-ps4/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterProbably a pretty late addition to the software that they were unsure would be ready for launch?
Not sure why they couldn't clarify that before. ::)

I thought when they announced the raffle thing for this they said they would hold your pre-order spot for like 24-48 hours if you were selected.
Demon Souls looks great, not sure why people whining about it.Never played a Souls game

Not sure why you thought I was directly talking about you, but if the shoe fits
It's fine if you don't care for the trailer
You really think it was drab and kinda empty on purpose and not because.. it was a PS3 game? lol
As someone who completed the original several times, i think the remake looks better in just about every single way.Not a fan of all the specific redesigns, I think in general it looks great but it doesn't feel ... lonely and sad like DS should

Also I didn't fuck with it but I heard on PS4 that PS2/PS3 BC is being handled by offering some of those titles on PS Now which apparently is a decent service? I've never tried it and not too interested in it, but that seems to be the retro gaming solution they'll have for PS5 as well. Though they really need to just merge it into PS+ so you get all the PS Now library by being subbed to PS+

Finally got a digi edition through the pre-order invite. :pimp Supposedly PS Plus members will have it delivered by day of launch too. :playaYeah I signed up for this and nothing. Despite being a Playstation cheerleader, PS+ person for years, and having over like 200 PS4 games I never get these PSN deals or whatever.
Yeah wtf. :( It makes no sense how they do their shit. I'll see REEEEjects posting about random $10-$15 PSN credit emails... I never get those for some reason, despite being in the same boat as you; Been on PSN since launch PS3, Plus member 99% of the time and purchase all my games through their storefront.

Don't be a stan kids.
Observer redux coming out in the launch window. Good stuff.One of many games that would benefit so much more in VR.
I've never gotten a console at launch. Maybe a few months are so after, but never day one. So I think it would be cool to experince that. I also have the money for it now and it wouldn't hurt to purchase it at this moment. But if I don't get it when it comes out or soon after I don't think I will really miss much. Yeah Demon Souls looks great, but to be honest I've never liked much of the Souls games before BB. Spider-man would be cool and I'd probably wait till I could play it on PS5. But I mean Cyperpunk and co will also be out so there's still plenty of other things to play.
What I want to know is if with PS4 BC will I be able to plug in my external HDD I use currently. So that I don’t have to waste SSD space on PS4 games.
Cerny said as much in the original Road to PS5 presentation.
I've never gotten a console at launch.Only console I decided to get on launch day was Xbox 360... you'll never guess what happened next!
Meanwhile, MS has already given up :goldberg

Sony is acting really patheticNah sony is just pissed that MS announces next gen too early, which cuts off the legs of the current machines and forces Sony to fast track their own plans. Then when launch day approaches MS has jack shit and goes "oopsie we love all gaming!" while previously mocking the competition.
Yes, Sony is pissed their console is ending up sold out globally. :brainLook at the poll on TheBore.com (http://www.thebore.com/forum/index.php?topic=47781.0), Sony's in BIG trouble.
:brain :brain
Nobody has major games for their launch, nobody is ready, but MS and Sony are both stubborn and releasing now in the middle of a pandemic cause 'it's time'. :doge
Yeah that's great but I said 'launch' not 'year one'. What is there for the launch? :dogeNobody has major games for their launch, nobody is ready, but MS and Sony are both stubborn and releasing now in the middle of a pandemic cause 'it's time'. :doge
The PS5 first year has a better lineup than like the entire first half of the PS4 life cycle and it is sold out.

I'd say it's somewhere in the top 5 launch lineups.

It has a port-up of a game from 2009 and a Spider-Man half-sequel, also releasing on PS4, as its big selling points. Maybe Destruction All-Stars will be OK? Nobody seems to care. Is Astrobot even a "real " game is it or more of a tech demo? And then the rest are games coming out on everything. Doesn't scream "top five" to me IMO.

In a time where fanboys want to cream themselves over jokes like Mario ROMs and "HD versions" of already HD-games, DeS with maybe the best console graphics we have seen rn is more than a port-up.
Don't really understand a lot of the criticism. At the end of the day Sony just looks like it's continuing what has worked with the PS4. Strong first party single player games and small other niche games in between. I mean you can dumb it down, but Spider-man and Demon Souls are really strong titles to have right from the begining. What was the big Sony first party on PS4? Killzone? I'll take a "port-up" that looks amazing graphically over that. I'd also rather play a "half-sequel" to a pretty good game whose PS5 footage has looked great. At the end of the day you are either onboard with what Sony has been doing since the PS3's mid life or you aren't. There's really nothing else to be said here as this is the formula and niche Sony has really taken over. What does the competition have? Nothing? Oh Gamepass, so games I can already play.
And if you're one of those people that has moved unto PC, why even care whats going on in the console space?
I agree that the first party launch line-up is better than most recent generations.
Out of all systems released during the last decade I think only the Switch had a really great launch game with Zelda BOTW.
Xbox One had Forza and Ryse I think, which were both decent. PS4 had Killzone and Knack.
Ratchet will probably hit early next year, so you're looking at a decent 'launch window'.
Could've certainly been better (especially on the third party side, with nothing from Namco for example) but overall not that bad.
As for Top 5? Platform makers used to drop iconic games on day one. But not anymore.
Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64
SNES: Super Mario World / F-Zero
Dreamcast: Sonic Adventure / Soulcalibur
OG Xbox: HALO / PGR
Xbox 360: Kameo / PGR3 / COD2
Wii: Zelda Twilight Princess
GameCube: Luigi's Mansion / Rogue Leader
Not seeing where I could squeeze PS5 into the top 5. But compared to PS4 and PS3 it's quite a nice line-up.
Most console launches are bad, especially in terms of exclusives the last 20 or so years tbh.
The days of an awesome Mario game at launch or even a Halo like OGXBox are long gone. PS2 was one of the best consoles ever and it's launch lineup was below average. Nintendo of late as just been holding off the latest Zelda til the launch of it's new console and porting it over (TP, BotW). PS4 and Xbox One? Mostly bad, tons of cross-gen and yearly sports titles. 360 and PS3? Mostly bad, tons of cross-gen and yearly sports titles.

It has a port-up of a game from 2009 and a Spider-Man half-sequel, also releasing on PS4, as its big selling points. Maybe Destruction All-Stars will be OK? Nobody seems to care. Is Astrobot even a "real " game is it or more of a tech demo? And then the rest are games coming out on everything. Doesn't scream "top five" to me IMO.
Well I meant like #5 or something because most launches are pretty bad and it's definitely not top tier launch lineup. I'll rephrase that to somewhere between top#6-10 in launch line up histories.
Also I don't care if a game is available elsewhere (does anyone care about the PS4 version of Miles?) or a remaster or whatever. If Nintendo launched with a modern day 4k amazing next-gen graphics remake of Zelda OoT with their next system, people would be say it had a good launch game.
Astrobot is who knows, but it's very good franchise so it could be good. Sackboy could be solid platformer too + the 3rd party launch titles.
Yeah I don't really care if Demon Souls is a remake of an older games or miles is a port-up. I don't see the point of trying to diminish those games. They look great and I want to play them and they are on PS5. So I want a PS5. It's as simple as that.
Blast FactorI mean I bolded Sony's games, but outside of Genji I've never played any of them. I don't think Genji is even good let alone a good looking game outside of some of the fire effects. I know people liked Resistance, but I played it a few years later and not only did I think it was ugly, I also felt it wasn't even ok for a console FPS. The rest of the offering seem pretty comparable to what PS5 will have.

gamepass might as well be xbox exclusive. no-one gives a shit on pc.There's not as much as pc, and it's a hassle to switch which drive things download to. :doge
Most of the hype surrounding the PS4 was about messaging, pricing, and it being a dedicated videogame console. $399.99, used games, games being the focal point behind the console's existence, that was a lot of momentum for launch. Especially compared to Microsoft, which nearly killed the Xbox brand in the span of months.
Next gen for Sony and Microsoft is a very similar roadmap with Microsoft investing in more cutting edge software for game playing and distribution (xcloud and Game Pass), and Sony investing more into first party software.
The PS5 launch is the best Playstation launch regarding software (not
a hard feat) . 2021 will be very interesting for both new consoles regarding what comes out when.
I'm not big on Souls.
There's just not a big launch title that has me wanting one of these day one.
If I hadn't just gotten into BallisticNG I'd be pretty pissed at no Wipeout and again fuck Sony for killing Liverpool.
...but I'm pretty good on Wipeout atm thanks to BallisticNG. Still would like a quality arcade racer although I'm hearing that Inertial Drift is the new Ridge Racer, so once I play that maybe I'm ok on arcade racers atm.
Well then I gotta ask you, what do you think would be top tier launch material? What do you expect from a launch?
Personal tastes aside, something that really screams "next-gen" and shows off what the system can do. Something that isn't available on other platforms, either- sell people on the system. "Also on PS4 and/or PC" doesn't do that.

Agreed. Wii-U with Zombi U remains the last time a system had an exclusive launch game that really sold me on it.
That said, I'm still looking forward to eventually checking out how the Demon's Souls remake compares to the original.
bork will have a PS5 by the end of the year.. :hitler he'll find something to justify purchase (like we all do).... My guess is that it'll be Street Fighter related. :lucille Wasn't SF suppose to be "improved" with the Dual Sense in mind?... Or did I just dream that at some point? :doge
We spoke with Christopher Mullins, Sony’s Digital & Home Cinema product manager, ahead of the announcement of Sony’s new high-end projector range, which includes a 10,000 lumens beamer called the VPL-GZ380.
.....
“4K at 120Hz is… interesting, but actually with the next-gen consoles the baseline performance is to hit a really good native 4K/60Hz performance, and have that performance across many games.”

It legit looks wore at times. Reminds me of the Gears remaster.
It's like looking at a 4k blu ray versus a regular Blu ray. There is a subtle increased level of clarity. It's there, but it's not some amazing jump.Doesn't help that, as i said, on PS4pro was already basically running in 4K (though through Insomniac upscaling tech) so even in terms of clarity, it's gonna be a hard sell.
In Spider-man's case it looks more "realistic" looking. 60fps and lighting look better. Materials look more clear in their detail.
It's nice, but nothing that would really make me replay the game. Certainly not something I'd pay for.

Compare this shit to Demon's Souls, Halo Anniversary, or MGS:TTS where they basically rebuilt every single art asset in the game. This is like the difference between medium and high in a PC game.
I assume the Miles Morales game will look better if it's designed from the ground up for the PS5?
That Spider-Man game doesn’t really look... better.
The performance mode has less draw distance than the regular mode in ps4.... that is kind of weird
Like he’s on top of buildings and no cars on PS5 but there are cars on ps4
If i look at GTA Vice City or San Andreas, and then i look at GTA 4, i'd definitely think that GTA4 was built from the ground up NOT to run on PS2.Also it's cross platform, so it's not built from the ground up for PS5.
But it has to be said that Remaster =/= Remake.
"Built from the ground up" is pretty much a myth.
Actual Spiderman 2 will look better for sure; but it's gonna use the same engine.. just a further upgraded one.

That's cause they're working from home in the remaster.
just buy two PS5s
Sounds like the PS5 is hot garbage. Imagine trying to manage the digital only version of this fuckin thing when ISPs have cap limits on bandwidth usage.

lol wut, capped limits are still a thing in the US?
if you don't have the capacity to go digital (eg a fast uncapped Internet connection) uh, it'd be kinda weird to buy the digital only version no?
I'm definitely getting an external hard-drive for my PS4 games.I may do the same... My 5TB external drive is ready..
:nope Wasting SSD space on last gen games.

Typical data cap is around 1 TB per month. And it's expensive + slow = expenslow.
But honestly, you should just plan to get an external HDD with any of these next-gen consoles. You don't want to rely on a Bluray drive or expenslow internet pipes to install anything. You can transfer a 50 GB game from a 7200 RPM HDD to the SSD in like 10 minutes versus at least an hour by disk/internet.
Are we even sure you can use external HDDs for PS5 games? Wouldn't it have to be an external SSD? And maybe won't it be system specific like Xbox where it's $200 just for 1tb. It also would be nice if it's not like the PS4, where you can only use one external at a time.
So did Japanese youtubers show [anything] about this machine?
Nobody cares about gameplay. Any talk about BC, how that works? The UI? Anything?

It also needs to be as fast or faster than the SSD that comes with the system.
Sony said that its upcoming next-gen system is backward compatible and you can push your older PlayStation games to an external hard drive in order to save space on the PS5's 825GB SDD. Such drives can also be used to store PS5 games, but you'll need to move those to a PS5-speed SSD in order to play them.
Seems like a whole lot of unnecessary plastic?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaAY-jAjm0wHow do we know this guy just isn't small?

Radial fans and a heatsink, so it's mostly the same airflow configuration as the PS4 but everything is sized up. Basically, it's better at dealing with heat but it has more heat to deal with. I feel like the only reason they made the console so big was so they could use a regular heatsink rather than a vapor chamber, I'm not sure how much that could reduce the cost though.The vapour chambers we typically see aren't that large. I'm guessing the price/perf was simply unfavourable.

I still think the fan will become louder as it ages, but at least it appears relatively easy to access and replace.

They already win quite a bit with the liquid cooling.
The thermal paste they used for the PS4 was pretty shit, same goes for the thermo pads.
Not to mention the questionable fans they've used last time around, but we'll see. Hopefully it really holds up until the end.
While I wasn't bothered with the PS4 and Pro at first, it became nearly unbearable towards the end.
I wonder what the Slim version of this is gonna look like

I said it weird but I meant that a vapor chamber would be much smaller for the size. Due to the high clocks, the PS5 is generating a lot of heat in a relatively small die so maybe that affected whether a heat pipe or a vapor chamber would be the best solution?Yeah, I follow you. I'm guessing it's just a matter of cost. They say in the teardown that they shaped the heatsink to have VC-like performance, which leads me to believe it's an adequate but much cheaper solution.

Certain features in some titles might not work on PS5 (though Sony didn’t go into specifics), and you might run into “errors or unexpected behavior” while playing PS4 games. The company suggests testing your PS4 games on PS5 before buying any add-ons or DLC you want to pick up.
so normal bc

Don't remember having issues with PS1 and PS2 games on the launch PS3. Or PS1 games on PS2. Or PSP games on Vita.
Even with PS2 built into the PS3, it did'nt run 100% of the library and some games had issues. Which got worse with the emulation models.

And how do you QA all of that anyway? You have to have people run through every game under tons of circumstances.

If you're gonna count those PS4 games as a part of PS5's launch lineup, will you do the same for Series X/S and everything on Gamepass optimized for them?No.
If you're gonna count those PS4 games as a part of PS5's launch lineup, will you do the same for Series X/S and everything on Gamepass optimized for them?
I'm not accusing you of anything, I'm just asking because I personally feel both have bad launch lineups even though PS5's is obviously better. I've had both XBL Gold (and more recently Gamepass) and PSN+ for years and I have a huge backlog of things that I actually want to play, so I'm happy that for the backwards compatibility. I can't think of that backlog as part of the launch lineups though.If you're gonna count those PS4 games as a part of PS5's launch lineup, will you do the same for Series X/S and everything on Gamepass optimized for them?
Sure, why not? I never said the Series X lineup is bad. Just that the PS5 launch lineup is good. Hell if I got a Series S/X it would be mostly for BC.
Plus every generation in recent years has had a lot of cross-gen stuff at launch. Just because you can get a shittier version on existing systems doesn't make the games less of a big deal for new systems.
So I know this is a dumb question, especially considering I already have a ps5 preordered, but will ps4 games see an automatic improvement or do they need to specifically be patched? Even though I own a ps4 I never got around to TLOU or TLOU2 so I was hoping those would be improved.
I'll be shocked if all the the PS+ Collection games won't take advantage of boost mode. Several are already confirmed to be getting patches.
That said if Bloodborne isn't given some kind of special treatment to fix its issues, they royally fucked up.
Yea, this is basically where I was at with it, but I would love to be proven wrong! Best game with the absolutely fucking worst frame rate.I'll be shocked if all the the PS+ Collection games won't take advantage of boost mode. Several are already confirmed to be getting patches.

This is the dick-faced Jim "nobody plays old games" Ryan Sony, so I expect Bloodborne to get the most special of treatments: a $60 remaster (10 dollars off MSRP for PS5 games, what a bargain!).
I can't predict what will happen, but after some thinking I'm really not feeling good about PS5 and the genre I'm active the most in: fighting games. Fighting game community events, in the before times, are for the most part weekly. You travel to your local event and bring a set up. A lag free monitor, the game, a stick/controller, and a system. You can fit the system in a back pack. It's nice, easy, and relatively pain free unless you're playing a retro game and have to bring a crt. But for the most part, there's little pain in bringing an FGC set up. PS5 complicates this. Not only are set ups limited due to space, PS5 doesn't even have two USB slots and I don't know a single arcade stick on the market that supports USB-C. While you can bring an adapter, how much extra lag will it create? Now you have to bring an adapter and fit room for a big ass system that's probably bigger than the monitor itself on limited space.

See how compact the PS4 is? At a fighting game tournament, you're going to have to have at least two PS5's on a single table. No bueno.
Between travel, an adapter, more room to fit the damn thing this isn't looking good for fighting games.
The only reason PS4 was the system of choice for the fgc last gen was because SFV (the main fgc game) was exclusive to it on consoles.
If Xbox has Street Fighter VI while I can't predict anything, it's going to look a looooot more appealing than dragging a PS5 around.
I'm imagining bringing a PS5 to a local event in New York City, on the goddamn subway. No bueno.

The new Xbox models remind me of small form factor PC cases (with the S model smaller than would be feasible to build for the specs as a PC). Something like the FormD T1 is pretty compact though and can fit 2 or 3 slot GPUs inside but pricey. Seen many such cases paired with portable Asus monitors that are displayed and powered via a single USB-C cable.FormD T1 for scale(https://abload.de/img/formd-t1zojcs.jpg)[close]

Is this legit or a joke?
Have you ever been to an FGC event? 360 ran shit. A lot of people say "fuck consoles, their performance is shit" and just play on PC at home, but when it comes to events we still play on ps4.
Hm. Okay so the ps5 has three USB-A's but two are on the back. But the system is so fucking big how much cord would you even have left on an arcade stick?
d-pad is better? :oWell, funny you mention the DS4 d-pad... I'm not a big fan of it. It felt like a step down from prior DS controllers imo, so not sure if others would agree. The DS4 d-pad feels slightly too big for me, and I have somewhat oafish hands too. Plus, I want to say the edges of the PS4 d-pad seem ever so slightly sharper too.
I honestly really like the DS4 d-pad. It's why I use it as my main controller for anything 2d or fighters. I prefer it to the Nintendo cross d-pad. Not sure how much better you can make it, but if it's better, it's better.

So screw Bork's nitpicking, I'm gonna keep my statement that PS5 launch is looking like Top5 console launches.
Astrobot's playground impressions coming off well, Demon Souls, Sackboy, Miles all looking great. Bugsnax free day 1 in addition to Astrobot, a whole bunch of PS4 games getting patched for free PS5 ultimate editions at launch or in the first month. PS+ Collection of 20+ free games if you don't have some of them (I have basically all of them outside Fallout 4 [who wants without mods?] and COD Blops 3). If you don't have a super up to date PC gaming rig, along with Xbox Series X, best versions of major 3rd party games like Watchdogs/AC Unity, Cyberpunk a month later.
ushering in a brave new generation with a remake, an expansion pack and some shite scraped from the wii u launch cutting room floor.
ushering in a brave new generation with a remake, an expansion pack and some shite scraped from the wii u launch cutting room floor.I don't know why calling DS a remake is supposed to be a dig. The game looks to be a pretty big overall and is also possibly the most impressive looking game graphically. Like this dosen't look like some some simple "remaster" and looks even beyond what they did with the Shadow Remake. It's also a game that's uniquely stuck on the PS3 and one many have missed. It will also probably be a meaty game that will live beyond simply being a launch title.
A remake like this is a new game.

Does it have new content or play differently?
Was Twin Snakes not a new game when it came out?
Is that new Panzer Dragoon on the Switch not a new game?
Is VII Remake not a new game?
Are RE2/3,1 Remakes not new games?
Anything that is more then a remaster aka taking the original and just cleaning it up is a new thing to me. Something being a Remake is not of lesser value to me.
I'm legit asking if it has new content or game play. :lol

Camera options are in
4K/30fps is called Cinematic
Performance mode is "dynamic" 4K at 60fps
Old Monk fight remains unchanged
Loading times are insane, virtually no load times
Multiplayer is 6 people now
They did discuss doing the sixth Archstone - decided against it as they didn't feel it was their right
Fractured Mode is Mirror Mode
Photo Mode is in. Disabled if you're invaded
Boletaria was the most challenging to rebuild as well as Valley of Defilement
Magic is still broken and exploitable (easy platinum!)
PD is pretty much the same game, hell it plays worse and looks worse aesthetically.
Twin Snakes was pretty much MGS1 just put into MGS2's engine. Yes I guess there were new useless gameplay elements, but the map, story, enemies, and even most of the script were the same.
RE3 plays differently, but most fans would say its a much less ambitious game then the original.
But the reason I stressed that it's more then a remaster, because while you can just say "improved graphics" I feel like that's selling it pretty short. It's the best looking PS5 game and we are talking about graphics, animation, geometry, texture work, and effects well beyond the PS3 original. This is'nt improved graphics like FFXII The Zodiac Age or numerous "Definitive Editions". This is beyond "we cleaned up stuff and it's running at higher resolution". It's a complete recreation. Now it seems to be a very faithful and true recreation. Which I'm not always a fan of in remakes, but I think in this case would upset people if it wasn't. Recreating is an approach you can take with remakes and that seems to be what Blupoint likes to do.
It playing the same or having the same content with completely remade and new visuals seems enought to me be worthwhile. If its not for you, well thats you I guess.
in terms of basic design does seem a lil lame not to fix some of the glaring balance issues with the original. the metagame is gonna be broke from day 1
For someone like me who never played the original, it's ALL new content. :rejoice

Has there been a Souls game to date that didn't have glaring balance issues with PvP? I've only beaten Dark Souls 1&2, and I hated PvP in both of those.
My greatclub wielding melee only build? Fucking useless against someone that has homing magic spells, along with super buffs, debuffs, and the best PvP weapons in stacks.
The solution becomes playing in offline mode and never invading anybody.

Bork, I get it. This particular lineup of PS5 games doesn't cater to your tastes. Everyone likes different stuff and the PS5 lineup isn't the most varied like some past consoles got.
If they were launching with an exclusive fighting game, musou game and some kinda of :jgames game I'm sure you'd be more interested in the PS5, and that's fine. There's no rush to get new systems, just get them when they have the kind of games you want on them.
Gameplay wise, seems to be unchanged.I think that's fine. I'm good with different camera options, omni-directional rolling and small QoL changes. I would have been ok with more substantial changes too but I think those asking for a more wide sweeping overhaul really just want a sequel.
They are adding some items to Demon Souls.. and locking some of them behind the $90 edition lol
I'm excited for it because I never played the original.. so it might as well be a brand new AAA next-gen open world title to me.

I know it's not an Ubisoft mission/collectathon but doesn't it have like a hub world and different areas you can explore in any order?
There's no other reason to get the $500 PS5 if you don't care about collecting physical media, right?

Which ones will actually use HDR?
Will the HDR work while using VRR or 120hz?
Sony's own tvs don't even have proper Dolby Vision.
Will the HDR support from the consoles conflict with HDR chip in your tv?

In an interview with The Washington Post, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan stated that although PlayStation believes in VR, fans of virtual reality will be waiting at least a couple of years before a successor to the PSVR arrives.
"I think we're more than a few minutes from the future of VR," Ryan said. "PlayStation believes in VR. Sony believes in VR, and we definitely believe at some point in the future, VR will represent a meaningful component of interactive entertainment.
"Will it be this year? No. Will it be next year? No. But will it come at some stage? We believe that. And we're very pleased with all the experience that we've gained with PlayStation VR, and we look forward to seeing where that takes us in the future."
For the second time in 24 hours, Sony has crushed the hopes of PSVR fans hoping for new VR experiences on the upcoming PS5 console.
After suggesting that the PSVR 2 is at least a couple of years away, Sony has now confirmed that upcoming VR releases for Hitman 3 and No Man's Sky will only be available if you buy and play the PS4 version of the games.
Speaking with UploadVR, a Sony rep said that PSVR on the PS5 is only backwards compatible, and that “We have not announced PS5 titles for PS VR.”
"What we have done is we've updated the character creator and we've given thousands upon thousands of new permutations where you can create and you can play," Moore said. "And then once you've chosen a character, what you can do is, after you've paid a number of souls for it, in the Nexus you can actually kind of store your character and then go in and change your character in the Nexus. So that's the quick interpretation of it, I guess."https://www.gamespot.com/articles/demons-souls-ps5-remake-lets-you-save-and-store-characters/1100-6483883/
The VR stuff is a mess and I don't think the left hand is talking to the right hand at Sony right now as they are focused on the launch.
I think over the next year they'll get their act together on supporting the existing VR hardware (which fully functions on PS5 with the camera adapter) until VR2 comes out.
The Move controllers are pretty dated tech by now (maybe not to Nintendo's standards :dice). I wouldn't blame them limiting it to PS4 VR. If they kept PS5 VR games tethered to it, that'd be sad.The VR stuff is a mess and I don't think the left hand is talking to the right hand at Sony right now as they are focused on the launch.

It fully functions for PS4 games only and will not work with PS5 controllers- it's a safe bet to assume that PSVR is soon joining the "legacy hardware" family alongside PS3 3D and the Vita.

Just like with the upcoming Hitman 3. The PS5 version will not have VR. You'd have to get the PS4 version and play that on PS5 to get VR.

I think you're confused. VR has nothing to do with controllers.
PSVR headset works on PS5, no question. Right now there are no PS5 games that support PSVR. I expect that to change once they get a few patches in and work out an incompatibility issues. It's just not a high priority for Sony right now. Having a stable launch system is getting their priority.
They already said PSVR will work with PS5 and PSVR2 isn't coming out for at least another year if not two years. Meanwhile there will be new VR games that get released in 2021/2022, I'm 100% sure they will be playable on PS5 using the existing PSVR hardware until there is a PSVR2.
More confusing is the approach to getting PSVR running on PS5. Sony’s flashy new HD Camera, launching alongside the console in November, doesn’t support PSVR tracking. To use the headset, you have to plug in the PS4-era camera. Only you can’t do that without a special adapter. You have to apply to get one here and it’s only one per household, though it will be shipped free of charge. Even then, you can’t use the PSVR with the new DualSense controller – you have to use your old DualShock 4 and PlayStation Moves, which in turn won’t support new PS5 games.
Then there’s the awkward topic of cross-generation games, which has proved to be a thorn in PSVR’s side these past few months. Both Hitman 3 and No Man’s Sky are releasing full, native PS5 editions soon. On PS4, both games support optional PSVR content. But, as we finally confirmed this week, neither game can integrate PSVR support on PS5.
That’s right, if you want to play these two titles in VR, you have to use the downgraded versions.
This puts PSVR owners in a strangely awkward position. If you want to play No Man’s Sky on PS5 in VR, you’ll need to install the older version of the game on your console, so you won’t be getting all the shiny new updates like enhanced graphics. Free next-gen upgrades mitigate the pain of this somewhat, but it’s a needlessly bizarre situation all the same. What if someone buys Hitman 3 on PS5 expecting to play in VR, only to find they needed the PS4 version? Will there be a downgrade scheme in place for this situation too? We still don’t have answers for that.
All of this, combined with the recent closure of Sony’s VR-focused UK developer (which was working on its first, AAA PSVR game) paints a grim [icture for PSVR in the short-term. Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan’s recent comments about the future of VR being “more than a few minutes” out also hit hard. We’ll likely see new PSVR games come to PS4 in 2021 beyond Hitman 3 but, for now, PS5 appears like a pretty clean break from the platform.
I think what bork is saying is that PS5 versions won't work with the PSVR. Like if there was a native version of say Star Wars Squadrons. It would'nt have VR and you'd have to buy the PS4 version. Just like with the upcoming Hitman 3. The PS5 version will not have VR. You'd have to get the PS4 version and play that on PS5 to get VR.
And it's possibly because the PSVR tracks the lights with the camera.
And when they do have PSVR2 hopefully it is wireless and dosen't do that. I hope it's as easy at the Quest 2.
I'm just saying I'm 100% sure they'll patch it in year 1 so new VR games will release on PS5 in 2021 and be playable on the existing PSVR hardware since there is no PSVR2 hardware yet.
They're not going to have a 1-2 year gap where all the latest VR hit games are available on every platform including PS4 but not on PS5. They're not idiots.
"I think we're more than a few minutes from the future of VR," Ryan said. "PlayStation believes in VR. Sony believes in VR, and we definitely believe at some point in the future, VR will represent a meaningful component of interactive entertainment.

What a fucking shitshow.
Bork do you have a PSVR?
The headset does not relate to the controllers at all. It's essentially another television. That's like saying a controller won't work with your tv. The PS5 controller doesn't play PS5 VR games because there are no PS5 VR games. Hell there's only like 15 PS5 games total in existence in the next month or two.
PSVR2 launch is either next year or 2022. All 1st party PSVR games in development at this point are probably for the PSVR2 so there likely won't be any 1st party games during this gap.
And yes, there are big VR hits. VR is a large market, you should give it a try.

https://uploadvr.com/new-psvr-controllers-patent-index/
From about a month ago. There's also been patents related to various VR rending stuff that is like the Index and makes a lot of people think PSVR2 will be wireless like Quest.
That said, don’t expect to see any of this work as a commercial product this year. Sony itself has warned that it’s not likely to release PSVR 2 alongside PS5. Hopefully we won’t have to wait too much longer, though. For now, check out everything we know about PSVR 2.
Are you being dense on purpose bork?
Do you think that this phrase "Sony itself has warned that it’s not likely to release PSVR 2 alongside PS5."
Means that Sony will not be releasing PSVR2 for PS5? Because I'm pretty sure that phrase means PSVR2 is not releasing at/near launch with PS5. Same with Jim Ryan's comments, you're putting words that aren't there. Nothing he said in his recent interview indicates that there isn't a PSVR2 in the works for PS5 to be announced and released in a year or so. A lot of people are putting their own interpretation into an interview that basically just said VR isn't the biggest thing ever right now, but Sony believes in VR and believes it will get there. Maybe not this year or next year, but eventually. Which is what every VR company has been saying for years since it's going to be a slow uptake because of the costs.
I'm not sure what the point of your posts about VR in this thread are. It seems like you're trying to make some sort of "look, Sony is giving up on VR like they did the Vita" thing. Which isn't true at all.
If you want, you can read the Era thread on the article
only the CEO in one article making a vague statement that people can either interpret as "Sony gives up on PSVR" or that "Sony is still working on PSVR2 and just saying it's not coming out right after PS5 launch"
"I think we're more than a few minutes from the future of VR," Ryan said. "PlayStation believes in VR. Sony believes in VR, and we definitely believe at some point in the future, VR will represent a meaningful component of interactive entertainment.
"Will it be this year? No. Will it be next year? No. But will it come at some stage? We believe that. And we're very pleased with all the experience that we've gained with PlayStation VR, and we look forward to seeing where that takes us in the future."
until there is more information and more interviews/articles/clarification, there is no way to know 100% for sure what their plan is for VR.
That being said, there's a photomode in the game, which means, you can technically pause the game. :P

What a fucking shitshow.
it's not really a shit show. there's a lot of variables at play but it isn't uncommon for 2K UHD rips to look more impressive than a "real 4K" rip and your TV more than likely isn't going to be using any of its algorithms to touch up the image on a 2K digital intermediate upscaled to 4K as the studios have passed through the transfer using more complex upscaling techniques than your television is capable of doing
and let me reemphasize that there's a lot at play in every transfer, an example being the first John Wick was filmed in 2.8K but finished at 4K while John Wick 3 was filmed in 3.2K but finished in 2K. guess which looks better? and a 35mm film transfer with a 4k digital intermediate isn't the same as a film shot on 4k with a 4k digital intermediate as film doesn't exactly transfer 1:1 when digitally scanned.
not to mention the resolution isn't the most important part of a UHD film; it's the wider color gamut and dynamic range provided by the 10-bit signal
UHD is fucking awesome
On the one hand, PSVR was quite successful.
On the other hand, non-portable VR just became very obsolete as a concept, given what the Quest 2 is offering, and will feel even more obsolete in a couple of years, if Facebook does another revision.
If those patent pictures are anything to go by, I could see them releasing a standalone VR unit that also works with PS5 and maybe PC. Or the previously-mentioned streaming wireless headset idea.
:thinking
Day's Gone confirmed jumping from sub 30fps -> 60fps. Was like 10 hours in on this when I tried it this year and sorta liked it but didn't love it. Will give it another try.The second half of that game is really good. Kind of wish I would have waited now because base PS4 would chug a bit with the bigger hordes.

:thinking
If they do wireless there's no reason to tie it to the PS5 unless they're gonna go for streaming. Steaming might make sense though. Depends on where tech is at that point.
Previously, monitor manufacturer BenQ hinted the PS5 would support 1440p, but it seems they were mistaken.
According to IGN Italy, representatives from Sony have officially confirmed that the PS5 doesn’t support 1440p natively. Now, you’ll still be able to connect a 1440p screen to your PS5 and play games, but what you’ll most likely be getting is a 1080p signal upscaled to 1440p, which doesn’t always look great. This isn’t anything new – surprisingly, the PS4 Pro also only supported 1080p and 4K natively even though, functionally, a large number of its games ran at around 1440p.
PlayStation 5 Launch-Day Sales Will Be Online-Only, Sony Confirms
So, why does this matter? Well, if you’re strictly a couch-and-TV gamer, it probably doesn’t. The vast majority of TVs are either 1080p or 4K, with 1440p screens being exceedingly rare. That said, 1440p screens are popular amongst a subset of PC gamers, so those looking to play their PS5 games on their monitor may be in for a less-than-optimal experience.
While the PS5 features a dedicated internal slot that can theoretically fit standard stick-shaped M.2 SSDs and an easy way to access it, the slot will apparently be disabled out of the box. “[T]his is reserved for a future update,” Sony tells The Verge.
On the same day, Sony shipped a PlayStation Camera dongle (pictured above) to me as a member of the press. The dongle accepts the PS Camera's proprietary plug on one end, then feeds it to a USB Type-A 3.1 plug on the other.
The front-facing port can’t handle USB 3.1 speeds.
With this in hand, I pulled my tubby PS5 out of my entertainment center and began connecting cables. This is where I ran into my first problem. PS5 includes three USB Type-A ports, but only two of these, on the back of the console, are rated USB 3.1. (An additional front-facing USB Type-C port is rated for higher speeds, at least.) In comparison, PS4 Pro includes three USB 3.1 Type-A ports, along with a separate dedicated port for its camera.
I came to learn that the last-gen PlayStation Camera requires a USB 3.1 port—as does my external hard drive, which I currently use since PS5's 660GB of internal storage isn't enough for my entire library of next-gen, last-gen, and VR games. Neither of those devices will work plugged into the front-facing port; warning messages make clear that they require USB 3.1 speeds, which the front-facing port can't do. Thankfully, the PSVR processing box doesn't require that threshold of USB throughput.
Still, with three devices plugged in, that left me with zero USB Type-A ports left for things like charging or pairing controllers, or connecting the next-gen PlayStation HD Camera. The only way around this was to use a third-party USB Type A 3.1 hub, which thankfully could juggle two cameras, a hard drive, and the PSVR processing box.
PSVR on PS4 had its own special menus and interface that appeared when tapping the "PlayStation" button in the middle of a game. PS5 punts this interface and relies exclusively on the newly updated PS5 menu system. This isn't a deal-breaker to us, as we've yet to notice any functional differences as a result. But if you have gotten used to older PSVR menus for any reason, you have been warned.

I thought I would be able to get a 5900x, CPU launches rarely sell out but they did in 5 minutes and there seems to be a big shortage of this stuff

Didn't remember that Sekiro PS4 Pro wasn't 60fps.
The Last Guardian 60fps, nice seeing that most Sony exclusives are 60fps now. 3rd party stuff you can just get that on XSX or PC, but 1st party Sony stuff getting boosted is real nice for legacy stuff.
TLG at 60fps because he is playing the disc version without patching it.
The patch capped it at 30.
PlayStation’s Japan Studio, which co-developed games such as Bloodborne, Astro’s Playroom and The Last Guardian, has seen the rolling contracts of many of its creators not renewed, former employees reportedly told Bloomberg.
Japan-based developer support teams have also been reduced by as much as a third from their peak, it claimed.

fyi, Sony said this article was fake.
Article was by the same person who said they were missing PS5 production by 4 million units, which Sony also said was fake.
Source might be iffy. Will wait for other journalists to get more info on Japan Studio contracts.
I mean they just put out Astrobot's Playroom and presumably are working on Astrobot 2. Would be weird to downsize the studio rn.
Responding to the Bloomberg report, Sony spokeswoman Natsumi Atarashi said “our home market remains of utmost importance” and claimed that any suggestion Sony was shifting its focus away from Japan was incorrect and “doesn’t reflect the company’s strategy”.
Takashi Mochizuki is an extremely reliable reporter in the tech/entertainment world. Only on era will you find people convinced that he has no reliable sources, by quoting three vague article out of the hundreds he reported on. Unsurprisingly, this only happens when he posts articles that aren't overwhelmingly positive about the Playstation brand.
Yeah, that was quote at the end is their denial.
The analyst, Takashi Mochizuki, is the one making the claim. He is also the one that made the claim about production issues which Sony also denied a few months ago.
Either he has insider scoops at Sony, or he's reaching on some of these takes. Idk. Need more insiders.
“It’s analyst consensus that PlayStation no longer sees the Japan market as important,” Morningstar Research analyst Kazunori Ito said. “If you want to know their take on the Japanese market, you need to ask about it because otherwise Sony wouldn’t talk about it.”
“Sony’s attention is drifting away and fans have started to notice that.” said Hideki Yasuda, an analyst at Ace Research Institute in Tokyo
Serkan Toto, a game consultant in Tokyo, said the PlayStation 5 should sell fewer units than its predecessor.
“Many PlayStation 4 owners in Japan would eventually move to the PlayStation 5, but that would largely depend on how strong the PlayStation team in Tokyo will be in pushing the needs of Japanese customers to the American headquarters,” he said. “Considering the current power balance between the U.S. and Japan, I can’t expect much, unfortunately.”
Unless Sony plans on putting out another handheld, it would be wise to shift focus to the west.
:idont
But didn't they already do this last gen with PS4...that's the other thing. It's not like PS4 was prioritized in anyway and was generally seen as Sony focusing on the west.Sure, I agree. The PS4 Pro in concept was a western focused console and PS5 doubled down. I mean, its one of the largest home consoles ever released. Given how portable focused the Japanese gaming market is, it would seem to run counter to what would sell well there.
Yeah, Sony sucks at software. They've always been a hardware company and it shows in their OS stuff.
Wait, what's wrong with sleep mode on PS4? I use it almost daily and haven't had any issue?
Stop shoveling cash to Randy Pitchford you fool. Only buy his shit used :pacspit
Unlike the Xbox Series X, Series S, and the One X before them, the PS5 won’t output natively to 1440p monitors, instead scaling up from 1080p. Nishino says this is because Sony wanted to focus on TV support at first, but notes that there’s no technical reason why it couldn’t be done and may be added if the company decides there’s enough demand.
It's funny because Godfall is the most fun sounding launch game to me.
Maybe there’s a world where people want to min-max all of this stuff, and maybe there are high level players who can keep all of Godfall’s combat options in their head at once and truly master combat. But I’m not sure there’s much to master, really. In my experience, nearly every fight was so easy as to be brainless, except for three that were stupidly difficult. Even then, the absence of traditional checkpoints—when you die you just pick up where you left off, though bosses will regenerate back a portion of their health—means you can just slam your face into any fight until you eventually win. Importantly, this means you don’t need to actually learn what you’re doing wrong—if you’re even doing anything wrong.
The frame rate hitches repeatedly, including pretty much every time you pick up an item. That’s true even in combat, and I died at least once because the action had stuttered.Gearsux :pacspit
I encountered regular crashes back to the home screen.
Once, the game managed to completely crash my PlayStation 5 to the point the system powered off.
I'm not saying I'm even buying the game lol.. just doesn't sound as bad as the scores. The entire EGM review sounds like he's making excuses for why he didn't actually bother doing his job.Playing games for a living is hard man.

I read that the PS5 doesn't do 1440p but also that it only does 4k on 120hz in certain games and otherwise defaults to 1080p / 120hz?
Like how does that work.
However, the fact that we can use Devil May Cry 5 as a 'benchmark' at all is mostly down to the fact that the developers have targeted 120Hz as the standard refresh rate output. This is great for seeing top-end performance metrics, but it's bad news for the experience - especially on PlayStation 5. This is because 120Hz output is locked to any screen that supports 120Hz, no matter the resolution. So consider a highly popular 4K screen - the LG OLED B8. PS5 sees that it is 120Hz-compatible, and overrides 4K resolution. All modes will run at a 120Hz refresh rate, at 1080p resolution - which is absolutely not ideal. Another popular screen is the Samsung NU8000. It's a 4K screen but on PS5, Devil May Cry will force through the 120Hz refresh rate instead, resulting in a downscale to 1440p that the user has no control over.
And this is where Xbox Series X has an advantage that's crucial. Users can simply dip into the video settings, select 60Hz and Devil May Cry 5 runs in a generally stable way - a locked 60 frames per second is very much preferable to the fully unlocked set-up on a 120Hz screen whether you're gaming on PS5 or Xbox Series X. We have shared our findings with Capcom a while back, and fingers crossed there'll be a solution to the issue, but the tl;dr version is simple enough on paper: allow PS5 users to select between 60Hz and 120Hz output resolution.
Target shit the bed with in seconds and Sony Direct sold out. Too bad.
My C8 only does 4k / 60hz and not 4k / 120hz as far as I know. Weird that they're not supporting VRRQuoteThe frame rate hitches repeatedly, including pretty much every time you pick up an item. That’s true even in combat, and I died at least once because the action had stuttered.Gearsux :pacspit
I encountered regular crashes back to the home screen.

It's supposed to be patched later but basically the PS5 currently can output at 720P, 1080P, and 4K.
If you plug it into a 1440P monitor that can accept up to 1440P signal on its input, then the PS5 can output a 1080P signal that the monitor then has to upscale to 1440P.
If that monitor can accept a 4K signal on its input, then the PS5 can output a 4K signal that the monitor then has to downscale to 1440P.
So probably shouldn't use a 1440P monitor for now since monitors typically suck at scaling. Also there should be a patch later for VRR and for whatever reason, a game like DMC5 has some weirdness selecting output resolution if you don't have a 4K HDMI 2.1 display:

So basically, it's probably not recommended to play games that go above 60 fps, have inconsistent framerates, or to use a 1440P monitor. For now anyways.

Oh and you can't disc install and download something at the same time arghhhhh, whyyyyyy
OK, YOU CAN PLAY GAMES FROM OTHER ACCOUNTS & REGIONS ON ANY ACCOUNT
phew
Not even a minute for Amazon.Shopping for tech products is ridiculous now with all the bots and scripts being used.
Today has been daggers through my PS fanboy heart.
Anyone know how to change between BC modes when playing a PS4 game?
Just tested Hajimari no Kiseki (PS4) and it runs fine, but not sure if it's using boost mode.
I don't remember if there's only bonfires when you kill bosses and everything else is just shortcuts? Probably?
For those of you who are looking to continue your demon slaying journey in Nioh 2 onto PlayStation 5 from your PlayStation 4, there are two upgrade routes for you to take:
Players that own Nioh 2 – The Complete Edition on PlayStation 4 can upgrade to Nioh 2 Remastered – The Complete Edition on PlayStation 5 at no additional cost.
Players that own Nioh 2 on PS4 can upgrade to the base game – Nioh 2 Remastered on PlayStation 5, and receive the PlayStation 5 version of any downloadable content expansions they own on PlayStation 4.
After Nioh 1 I was like, cool enough, but I'd rather Ninja Gaiden back. After part 2 I still need NG, but also more Nioh. Gameplay has been way improved and when they went fanservice at the end of 2, I realized that I actually care about this shit now. :doge I only wish they'd drop that weird spooky sound design that tries to replicate Dark Souls, because it doesn't fit the campy atmosphere at all.They can keep the awesome oni (?) yell when you die though. The one that sounds like NYOOOOOOOOOOOO
Monster Hunter World runs insane on this. I've never seen 60fps smooth MH before :o
Also the load times are really short now.
Makes me want to get back to Iceborne.
Persona 5 Scramble runs locked perfect smooth 60fps in resolution mode. Both in P5 Shibuya cityscapes and musou combat areas.
Great news for the western release. It's still in my backlog so will be nice to play sometime.

Well, generally I'd rather play games on my tv and couch than on my monitor, so it's ok.
But yeah, HDR is another thing I don't have on either my monitor or TV. So will be nice to get that when I pick up a 4k tv next year. My brother got his first 4k tv last year and I saw some demos and was pretty impressed with the HDR.
In the meantime, try these settings from Hardware Unboxed to get that PC framerate up.

Your display has to have good HDR support as well.

Also my dualsense isn't charging from the front USB. Left it charging all night and it was on 1 bar this morning. There's a lot of people with similar issue on era, charging it on a separate USB charger now to confirm it's not the controller but the USB port.I guess the front usb port isn't powered during rest mode. The back ones are though.
Anyone in here having any kind of weird problems with their systems? Reading a bunch of stuff about weird issues with database rebuilds which has scared me off of playing spiderman.

https://youtu.be/44JM7UZsaCsFrom what I'm seeing most things are software issues. There's more widespread reports of Xbox Series X disk drives being broken or loud but that should be an easy fix.
Where are you getting this info btw?
Well we knew sony shit themselves when ms announced the specs and just overclocked the ps5 to get over 10tf.
The ps5 was never meant for this so I do expect some of them to fry. Maybe not 360 bad but who knows.

Was this the same issue that killed the 360s so fast? I thought the main reason given was that the heat would cause the mounting mechanism for the heatsink to warp, I don't remember anyone mentioning that the silicon itself was frying.
I don't care if the problems are widespread or not, I just want a crowbcat video mocking them :'(

The X-clamp fix is required because of the lack of the lead in the solder that holds the GPU and the CPU on the motherboard. Overheating causes the BGA (ball grid array) to weaken, resulting in the CPU become detached from the motherboard. Overheating can occur in various storage scenarios best avoided by checking our Xbox 360 care guide.https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/xbox-360-rrod-x-clamp-fix-work/ (https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/xbox-360-rrod-x-clamp-fix-work/)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3AiWzAa0YwThe funny part is that, thanks to Sony's amazing design team, even the disc version has people insert the disc the wrong way, because they have the console with disc drive on the upper side, when horizontal.
Astrobot is great but they really need to let you invert the camera. Unless I'm missing it?

I have no idea how some people can get confused and put the console upside down. It's pretty obvious that the PS logo should be on the top side ???They made fun of Immobile (soccer player) for snapping a photo with it upside down, too. :lol
I couldn't get even get 2 minutes into Bugsnax before deleting it off my SSD as fast as possible, it was so bad. :doge
i hope zwarte piet blesses all my dutch bredren with a ps5 this year ;)I wasn't thinking about buying one but still no Zen 3 in stock or anything else for that matter so I've joined the shoe lottery for fun.

i also just resold an old VR headset i bought 2 years ago (a pimax 4k) for 3x what i originally paid ($300) off a $1 reserve start. people outchea crazy:crazy
I feel like flipping a ps5 for pc parts now then rebuying one down the line is the :brain play even if immoral
i get to get a 3080 and the scalper gets to buy more OFF-WHITE sneakers :dogeI feel like flipping a ps5 for pc parts now then rebuying one down the line is the :brain play even if immoral
you can use your scalped PS5 funds to pay for a scalped 3080.
Tomorrow is Euro launch.
1 of the largest online retailers in the Netherlands will get a grand total of drum roll.... 200 units. They expected 2000,
So they're not doing pre-orders, instead you had to send them a picture of your shoe (Sinterklaas thing like a Christmas sock) and they will pick 200 lucky contestants who can then order a PS5 from the store. Every step of the process the copy is like: "Don't expect to receive one", "Do you really want to bother doing this?" :lol
My order was done and processed within the first 10 min of pre order here, and I dont have one.I ordered on launch day from Amazon and haven't gotten mine. It's been "shipped" since Saturday too. But at least now it's moving and tracking says it will be here tomorrow.
But then I also hear another danish retailer (one of the biggest ones, proshop) apparently have not even gotten any yet.
Sony care even less than Nvidia about us tier 5 countries.

Eh, it's a franchise that sells hundreds of thousands of copies. It'll come for sure. Atlus just seems to take forever to localize large amounts of dialogue and P5 Scramble is supposedly like 1/2 the length of Persona 5.
I always get the impression in the US nobody does pre-orders without that being backed by an order from a distributor. It all sometimes fails and distribution doesn't always happen as planned but they don't take your order unless it's backed by something.Most of them don't even order stock until they get pre-orders, especially during COVID times.
In various European countries on the other hand, it seems common for stores to run "waiting list" style pre-orders, where they just know they'll eventually get stock, and hope you stay on their list for when it's in.
looking at demons souls right now and feeling the PAIN
Obviously I want a PS5. But now that I’m done whining and playing Miles on PS4, I have to say I think It looks pretty good.Once you get over that FOMO hype machine of the first few launch weeks, you'll see it actually makes no sense to obsess over getting your hands on a console that has 99% of its shit be multiplatform (with God of War also rumored to be).
Got lucky today, I was able to order a PS 5. Will be here before christmas. Every site was getting hammered but good old Otto Versand (shout out to my fellow German Borians) came through.Way back when, my mom bought my PlayStation from them, inadvertently dooming me. :winning
I also got another order in that should be here 10 december.
Tried out PSVR on PS5.It seems like the future of VR other than the Valve Index is stand-alone devices like the Oculus Quest. Not sure if they're going to bark up the VR tree again as it sorta split development resources.
Blood & Truth looks A LOT better. Like it was actually pretty fine & playable coming from Valve Index. Yeah it's lower resolution, but it's not like pixelated low res gross and runs smooth. The higher resolution makes a huge difference and the higher stable framerate is nice. Wish more PSVR games had gotten updated.
That said when I exited PSVR the PS5 OS was running like 20 fps struggling which was kinda scary? I shut off the system and turned it back on and it was back to normal, PSVR may be a bit wacky.
If you still have your PS4 Pro hooked up, no reason to play PSVR on PS5 unless you're going to play Blood & Truth or Firewall which are the only two that got updates I think.
I also got another order in that should be here 10 december.
Proshop or coolshop? Tried it there as well :lol
i had constant crashing with demon's souls. deleted and reinstalled it and i haven't had one crash since :doge
I was not expecting that tonight when dumping COD off for Demon Souls. Finding the games for these new systems in store has been almost a similar affair to the consoles themselves and getting them. I’ve been looking all over for Demon Souls at Target.Really? Only the Walmart near me is sold out, but the best buy and target has all the launch games in stock
So I've never had an issue with the small hard drive spaces in PS4, but PS5's stupid bullshit "other" category is crap.I got my PS4 games on a WD Element 2TB. They've run totally fine so far, and some games load arguably quicker in a slight sense... can't confirm yet.
It basically installs PS4 games almost twice, because you get them in the game storage category with the full size and then each PS4 game adds like 20gb+ to "other" storage unless you keep them on an external drive.
My "other" category is 114gb of the 667gb right now and I'm down to 94gb free. Had to delete Demon's Souls & EDF5 to get to 150gb free again.
Going to buy a stupid external drive to keep the PS4 games on since supposedly that drops "Other" down to 13gb and should free up most of the drive. Just need to figure out what a good external drive is.
So my PS5 has randomly beeped - really loudly - three times. Yesterday it did it while I was playing just once. I didn’t know it was the ps5 actually until today. This morning it did it again just once and really short. Then a few minutes later it did it and it was a long solid beep. When I paused the game it stopped. That’s when I knew it was the PS5 for sure. No errors or crashes when it happened. But wtf.

IIRC this is what the PS4 does when it's checking data but could also indicate a hardware issue. Maybe it's the same thing?
Yeah I think my ps4 always did that, if i hadnt turned it off properly.In the middle of playing a game though? And with no prompts or errors? The first two times it beeped it just did it once and then not again. The third time was constant until I paused. And they were REALLY loud. Like that I thought my UPS or maybe even the fire alarm were making the noise instead.
For whatever reason, I was under the impression that the "PS Plus Collections" was an instant free library to said games... If that's not the case, the way they advertise it is piss poor.
It is an instant free library though; just redeem them and they are in your account as long as you have PS+.
There's a PS Plus Collection menu item in the PS Plus area on the PS5; that's where I "redeemed" them. FFX shows up there.Ah.. Maybe because I'm trying to go through the app and not the PS5 itself. :ohhh

Spider-Man did freeze up twice yesterday and the 2nd time the controller basically stopped responding and then a few minutes later the screen went black. I did hard resets on both and got the hard drive fix screen when it booted back up.
30FPS needs to be consigned to the gaming dustbin, never to return.
120+ for action games, 60 for cinematic. any scab game that tries to break the 60fps picket line gets their legs broken.

Eh, I am perfectly ok with 30fps in certain situations.
Fighting games, driving games, platformers, character action games need to be 60fps. Always have, always will.
The walky talky shooty cinematic stuff that Sony does a lot of? Nah, gimme 30fps and push the visuals as far as possible. I mean Spider-Man PS5 gives you the option of 30fps/60fps and I'm picking 30fps there. Reading some threads on Miles, it seems most people are preferring to play at 30fps with the nicer visuals.
Aren't we supposed to be at a point where we can have the nice visuals and 60 FPS?:girlaff
Should be in performance mode (1080p), resolution mode (4k checkerboarding) was locked at 30fps on Pro.Thank you again! This is great. I need to transfer my remaining PS4 games to the external.
Is that PS+ collection thing for a limited time only or will it still be there if I get a PS5 next year?
Also what titles are in it?

I’m guessing one of the main reasons ps5 doesn’t have proper smart delivery is cos they’re planning on selling an enhanced version of last of us 2 next year knowing it will sell :successSame with Bloodborne and Horizon.... the only games I really wanted BC for. :goty
bloodborne is apart of the ps4 package and does run better on PS5 than it does on PS4 at least. Doubt Horizon will be remade for PS5 as the new one seems to be PS4/5 cross gen lolBoth are still locked at 30fps which I find utterly unacceptable now. :snob
bloodborne is apart of the ps4 package and does run better on PS5 than it does on PS4 at least. Doubt Horizon will be remade for PS5 as the new one seems to be PS4/5 cross gen lolHow does it run better? Genuine quesiton because the PS4PRO with boost mode already smoothed out those frame drops it had, but didn't do shit for the awful framepacing.

So this is weird, if you go to profile and games it will show you your game playtime for every game played for the last ___ years.
This information has never been available on PS3/4. So the fact that is has games you played 2 years ago down to their playtime means it was stat tracking this but just had no way to show you it.
Crazy. I always appreciate this for games that don't have game time listed in-game. Switch a bit and Steam especially are really useful for figuring out how long a game actually was. Now can do that on Playstation as well.

Sometimes Sony would provide your most played games at the end of a year. No idea why they just didn't do it normally.
...my only concern is that you paid money for and are playing an AC game, plz do not
on steam i often feel a little bad because it clarifies how little time i put into games before dropping them. even when i really dig them i often complete one run on medium difficulty and am done with it as fast as possible.haha yeah that's why we all feel bad about our steam libraries haha

One thing that needs to fixed is when you delete a game off the PS5, the game artifact stays in the main menu ribbon. A way to get rid of it, you start downloading it again, then proceed to cancel and delete the download. This will make it disappear.
I had to delete and redownload Ace Combat 7 from not loading initially. Not a big deal, but there's a ton of things that could use some more ironing out for sure.
Well they sure have made it harder to buy that one if that's it.I had to delete and redownload Ace Combat 7 from not loading initially. Not a big deal, but there's a ton of things that could use some more ironing out for sure.
A better fan would've been nice. I got one of the noisy ones.
They also put the most shit disc drive possible in here making it pretty clear that the Digital version is the one they want to sell.
Also I got a new phone yesterday to replace a dying older one and was trying out remote play on PS5 which seemed honestly pretty great for a portable PS5/PS4 BC until this happened.
Ordered one of those phone controller things and with remote play this could be pretty useful for playing some games portable.
and got rid of the WiiU.:ohyeah
Moded my ikea shelf and got rid of the WiiU. Need to work on cable management, but this is my PS5 set-up and maybe my set-up for the next couple of years as I'm not sure I'll get an xbox.

Not sure I should keep my Pro either, but I just have good memories towards it. I really liked the PS4. I have the PS3 still hooked up because it was my primary Blu ray player until I got a standalone one and still the only way to play PS3 games.
Since my tv ain't wall mounted I just put the ugly piece of crap behind it.PS5 is so big, you could wall mount the TV directly to it! :rodney

Not sure I should keep my Pro either, but I just have good memories towards it. I really liked the PS4. I have the PS3 still hooked up because it was my primary Blu ray player until I got a standalone one and still the only way to play PS3 games.
What did you do to make the shelf area larger?
So I got this $100 backbone controller thing for remote play for the phone and meh. It's pretty nice for native ios app gaming and makes it feel like a Switch, but remote play it's missing the PS button & touchpad button which a lot of games use so it makes it kinda crappy. Plus testing around stuff remote play is definitely going to be a very specific situation useful feature.
Like playing a turn-based jrpg like Persona or Disgaea or something? Great!
Playing Spider-Man or something fast and smooth? Nah, looks pretty crap. Maybe slower open-world stuff like Days Gone or Ghost of Tsushima would work. But even trying Sackboy, the slight lag was tough for a tight timing platformer.

Finding it hilarious that they sent 7% of the PS5 stock to Japan. Sony DGAF about Nippon no moAnd the other 93% directly to scalpers, apparently. :lol
Anyone try Destruction Allstars yet? I have it downloaded, but won't be able to try till tomorrow. Seems there's very little buzz about it, and the little I've read, it's actually an ok game.

Saw something that even though it's "free," you have to pay to unlock various modes and content?
Seeing Kena: Bridge of Spirits is up for pre-order on PSN... This is a $40 game?? ??? Guess I shouldn't expect much from this game, seeing as it's being released on PS4 still too. :doge
True.. but if Horizon 2 will run at 60fps on PS5 due to being a PS4 game technically, I'm 100% stoked for that... I still can't get over PS being silent AF about Bloodborne and Horizon not having 60fps updates yet. ...the 2 games I wanted the most to be updated for this thing. :-\Seeing Kena: Bridge of Spirits is up for pre-order on PSN...

Guess you shouldn't expect much from most games, including Horizon Forbidden West either, going by that logic.

would love to get some insight into that process.
sometimes it's engineers internally pushing back, or just not caring. like the recent improvements in load times made by a "hacker" in GTA Online https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/03/hacker-reduces-gta-online-load-times-by-over-70-percent/, or the other week im contracting with one of the largest web companies around here and i ask a dev why their app pools are running on 32 bit vm's "idk, 64 bit just doesn't work". me: "can i try it?" them "honestly bro, it just doesn't work" i convince them to let me try an update in the perf environment (this has been plaguing them for aaaages) and it took 2 hours investigation and 2 config changes in memory allocation to fix the bug. sometimes devs, engineers, ops teams etc are actually just stupid and/or lazy.
I tried it out and it was ayeet... It looked and played pretty solid, but the one thing that bothered me, was that it's all just arenas... I feel like they missed the mark with not having large, open area hubs like Twisted Metal or Vigilante 8. Having broken down, derelict buildings you can drive through (like TM2) with giant falls, but plenty of wall running potential, would've been so much better... but the humdrum arenas got boring pretty quick to me.Anyone try Destruction Allstars yet? I have it downloaded, but won't be able to try till tomorrow. Seems there's very little buzz about it, and the little I've read, it's actually an ok game.
I've played some of the single player. It's not as bad as I expected and I wouldn't uninstall it like I do for a lot of these freebies after trying them. I might play it a little more here and there.
It plays pretty well and looks good enough though the arenas need more variety. But I suck too much to play online and playing against cpu is kinda dull so idk. There's a time trial mode where you have to race through checkpoints avoiding stuff trying to kill you and swapping between driving through checkpoints and wallrunning & platforming on foot through checkpoints that's pretty fun.
I think it's fine, but it definitely should've been a F2P or $20 PSN kinda game.
I just wish this and Deathloop weren't rogues :'(
They both look great, but I want a full story campaign with the gameplay and visuals/art in each. But given that rogues are way cheaper to make since it's more about reusing content over and over and lets you get away with fewer assets/content, and given that Hades just sold a billion ass copies, it's probably a lot smarter business decision for these games to be rogues.
Will still give both a try, but single player campaign games I know I'll finish them, rogues are....questionable whether I'll see the thing through. At least on PC there's always trainers/cheats.
I thought Deathloop was you keep repeating the loop until you beat it like a roguelike.
I thought Deathloop was you keep repeating the loop until you beat it like a roguelike.
It's kind of a rogue-lite and afaik inspired by their previous work on the Prey DLC Mooncrash. About the only video that has explained it straightforwardly is an official talking head piece :P
The goal is you replay the same mission multiple times to kill all the targets in one 'day' (I've read this isn't strictly timed at least), otherwise you restart the loop (or if you die first). So the idea is you attempt to manipulate events/find new pathways in each run as you learn behaviors to facilitate being able to kill all the targets in a successful run. By finding certain 'loopholes' obtained items/weapons can be carried across runs.
Awkward times to be a digital PS5 ownerIt is awkward Sony giving away free games with no paid subscription necessary. :yeshrug
Deathloop has been delayed to September.
Same for that 'Returnal(?)' thing Sony is putting out.
Oh wow. I didn't realize that dev was part of "the acquisition". :dogeDeathloop has been delayed to September.
The Microsoft Way :teehee
Microsoft probably didn't either :idontOh wow. I didn't realize that dev was part of "the acquisition". :dogeDeathloop has been delayed to September.

I think the gamepass model is way better suited for devs like Arkane. Not that I think MS will keep them, judging from history. :dogeI think they will consolidate resources and lump them in with the dudes doing DOOM, Quake and Wolfenstein.

More Returnal stuffz...It looks good but I feel like it could've been better as a Metroidvania type game like CONTROL instead of a rogue like.

I agree. That would've warranted a instant Day 1 purchase for me. Although I've been reading it's basically "Hades meets Control meets Metroid" which piques my interest still.More Returnal stuffz...It looks good but I feel like it could've been better as a Metroidvania type game like CONTROL instead of a rogue like.

If you don't need stuff day 1, everything is $30 within a year these days unless it's a Nintendo game. Then it's still $60 and maybe $40 in three years (if they don't just stop selling it).

After 6-9 months, Nintendo stuff will go on sale for $10-20 off periodically, I just scoop it up then if I didn't buy it at launch and want to play it at all. I'm actually building up a backlog of switch shit because of that.
Still waiting on BOTW; a 4 year old game, to drop below $50. :hmphIf you don't need stuff day 1, everything is $30 within a year these days unless it's a Nintendo game. Then it's still $60 and maybe $40 in three years (if they don't just stop selling it).

My PS5 controller is having drift issues. Guess no Returnal for me.Damn.. sorry man. That sucks. I've been lucky so far I guess. Of all my gaming paraphernalia, only drifting I've had was with a new DS4 I got last year. It got fixed for free which they returned within a week of me sending. But that same controller is real fickle with connecting to PC too. It's my lemon of the bunch.

Gamepass is great if you have no life and just want to play a bunch of A and B games, and the shit tier beneath them.
Do you guys also think that Animal crossing should be like a third of the price cause Stardew Valley is 15 bucks?

Ratchet and Clank runs at 30 fps? The future of gaming is here.It will have a 60fps performance mode too.
Ratchet looks dope, low key one of my favorite series

I liked A Crack in Time that was more puzzle based Clank stuff.
The Remake of 1 and the short Into the Nexus games were alright. I just want a meatier and more puzzle focused one than a flashy on-rails short game. Hopefully this is more like the former.
I don’t know what you’re talking about in terms of drab art direction. Looking at any place where bullet hell gameplay is involved, the important parts to the player are clear and easily marked. Everything else, they’re going for a look like “edge of tomorrow“/“all you need is kill“ where it’s intentionally desaturated. This makes the hyper saturated bullet hell elements stand out even more. This is what you want. Unfortunately, bullet hell gameplay is not for me; so, while I like this look, I will not end up playing this game.

Other games managed with more interesting places than swamps and plains with red fog. Guess it doesn't help that it's randomised, which makes it less coherent too. Don't like the monster designs either. I hate looking at this game. Someone swap the gameplay of Ratchet with Returnal's :cat

Played a couple hours of Returnal.This might happen to me as well... I'm on the cusp of finally beating DeS (hopefully this weekend)... and I'll probably need a break from brutal gameplay before jumping straight to this. I took a break from DeS as well, but feel up for it now. Sounds like this will be the same... Granted, I can't say I've played a rogue game before, so it may totally sap me from enjoyment.... :doge ..or the opposite! Hate losing progress though.... But damn, I love bullet hell games!
Game plays damn great, but man I fucking hate rogues. Get an hour in playing careful and then get to a room with a new mechanic I haven't seen before (regen enemy health stones) and die and lose most of that progress. I just don't have the patience for rogues and losing progress.
Plays really good and I like the adreline mechanic where the longer you go without getting hit the stronger you keep getting making it easier but gotta play more carefully. Basically encouraging glass cannon runs.
Music is pretty nice too.
Ambience-wise this game feels closer to Metroid than anything else I can think of. I like it a lot, just don't know if I'll have the patience to stick with it.
Returnal looks like one of those bang average games that only gets attention because it came out early in a console's lifecycle when there's fuck all else to play.
I'm happy to return to this post in 4 years to see if anyone remembers this game. My bet is that everyone will be like, "Returnal? What the fuck is that?"Returnal looks like one of those bang average games that only gets attention because it came out early in a console's lifecycle when there's fuck all else to play.
Nah, this is straight up wrong. Game plays really well. It's basically Vanquish x Hades. I don't like rogues, but it seems, like Hades, to be a really top-notch rogue. It also looks very good. DF said it's basically pushing the PS5 to the limit currently.
It's just overpriced. Some people finished run 1 already (the equivalent of Hades first escape) in about 5-6 hours. Runs 2+ change things and there's a secret true ending apparently, but still $69.99...probably too much.

From what I'm hearing of this game it sounds cool but the tales of it crashing lots and people losing runs due to no auto save makes me fine with waiting for the time being.All this talk about Metroid / Returnal might lead to me impulse buying a PS5 :dogeThankfully the shortages prevent impulse buying of anything electronic!
I sure hope they show some actual real gameplay stuff from GoW and GT at E3 this summer, otherwise I don't even know if 2022 is realistic for those...
I feel like September is too soon for a game we have basically seen fuck all of; marketing/promoting AAA titles isn't done that way. I think Nov/Dec is more likely for Horizon, probably Q2 of 2022 for Ragnarok

PS5 is getting a redesign, but according to the article, it's just for internal components.
https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/playstation-5-redesign-will-enter-production-in-2022-new-report-claims/
According to Hermen Hulst, a Guerrilla cofounder whom Jim Ryan tapped to lead PlayStation Studios in 2019, the group has more than 25 titles in development for the PS5—nearly half of which are entirely new IP. “There’s an incredible amount of variety originating from different regions,” Hulst says. “Big, small, different genres.”https://www.wired.com/story/playstation-5-six-months-later/
That’s a whole lot of third-person over-the-shoulder action adventures.
That’s a whole lot of third-person over-the-shoulder action adventures.Fuck yeah
I’ve been talking a fair bit of shit on Sony lately, but if instead of just more endless Ass Creed-em-ups one of those games is a new Jumping Flash, I’ll eat my words and get back on the train.I don't see them making a full-on, stand alone jumping flash.. if they did, it would have to have VR integrated to make it stand alone (same with GITS :lawd).... However, I can very easily see them having a homage to JF in Astrobot Rescue Mission 2. :ohyeah
:lawd https://direct.playstation.com/en-us/accessories/accessory/dualsense-wireless-controller-midnight-black.3006392Damn red looks sex as hell.
Not sure why I haven't put two and two together, but this game is really starting to give me PN03 vibes... Just swap the sass with eerie grit.Sold
If there were at least saves and I could start at the beginning of Biome 3 each time with my loadout I had when I first got to the boss then it'd only take me 5-10 mins to get back for another try and I'd keep fighting the boss until I cleared it. But the rogue-way it is where I have to spend an hour for 1 more attempt just isn't worth it to me.I mean, I agree... that would make it much more tolerable. Especially from me saying that, who complains all the time about not having enough time for gaming. :-[ Granted, I only have about 6-8 hours logged in, it hasn't gotten stale yet. Gotten new weapon upgrades each time I've played, so it's felt fresh still. But also, I feel I've been lucky with certain randomizations. One of those 2 times I died in biome 3, the gates to the 2nd biome were only 2 little hubs from my crash site, so I got there in less than a minute. It's very possible I haven't played nearly enough though for it to start affecting me. Again, I hope they do something soon, because I can't really imagine going through it all when getting to 6th biome tier runs. I'm sure by then I'll be carrying a different tune. :doge Still loving the gameplay immensely.
Oh cool, my brother was keeping a lookout for PS5's for me and managed to secure one off Amazon. I'll still have to pay him, I told him I should've asked for it as a wedding gift but my fiancee would probably kill me :PAnd ASTROBOT ASTROBOT ASTROBOT ASTROBOT ASTROBOT!!! :awesome
Think that Village, Intergrade, and Demons Souls HD will be my first titles... later Scarlet Nexus. Anything else worth picking up?

Tsushima and God Of War are straight sex at 60 FPS. Never noticed any bad drops in either game.
I'm playing Valhalla right now and while it runs well at 60 most of the time, there is some bad screen tearing in the medium to large sized towns. Running around in Jorvik has nasty performance issues, for whatever reason.

Miles is a solid game if you liked the PS4 Spider-Man. Also AC Valhalla looks and runs pretty awesome on PS5 if you like the AC western rpg thing.
But Demon Souls & Astrobot still the best. Also PS4 titles that got a 60fps boost if you haven't played them like Ghost of Tsushima.

I played one of the ACs back in the 360 days... think it was the second one? Felt a bit too sluggish movement-wise, and I am not really into the whole open world checkbox gaming game.
Totally forgot about Like A Dragon, was skipping the PS4 version bc of PS5... so I'll just buy it there. And maybe DMC and NiOh.
lol, no release date, this ain't coming out this year either
Saw that the new Trails of game by Falcom this fall isn’t having a native ps5 version. Goddamn PS5 is a fucking mess over there. Sales so bad these companies are just releasing on PS4 and saying “use BC” and you know in a year or two they’ll release the native ps5 version.
Nier Replicant, TWEWY2, Trails of the Black, Japan ps4 Devs really dropping the ball. I think Tales of Arise is the only one getting a native ps5 version?
Falcom are Sony fanboys and they said last fall they were working on a ps5 game.
So this really looks like they got cold feet and are holding off on releasing it.
Ps5 native makes a difference for fast loading, dual sense, and 4k like how Nier Replicant is still 1080p/60fps in BC.

Maybe now GoW will have ray tracing at 60fps.Doesn't seem like a title that would benefit all that much from reflections, and ray traced GI is probably way to expensive for PS5.
I think we'll probably see better implementation of DLSS once the consoles start relying on it more. It's definitely hit or miss right now on PC.
God of War delayed to 2022, Horizon release date "uncertain"eh, that's not promising at all for Horizon. If they're shooting for November, it's probably a spring 2022 game. :gloomy

The whole point of new consoles is new previously impossible games on it, not 4 years later, why even buy one until then if this is how it’s going to be ???
The ps5 is going to be playing games designed around some crusty 2012 netbook cpu that was a piece of shit even back then :o

I'm reading people talking abt cross gen holding game design back
Also tbh in general i don't see how modern games are particularly shallower than old ones.
I would argue that since the OG Xdude with Halo no system has had a really stand out exclusive release title (even Nintendo split the difference with Twilight Princess being GCN/Wii and BotW being Weeeeooooo/Switch). I clearly think less of Dead Rising than you do, it was fun but not system or genre defining or anything.
I think, along with obviously covid, UE5 not being ready for the beginning of this gen put a stammer on impressive graphics.
I'd argue Hitman's AI is also pretty complex.
That's by design.I'd argue Hitman's AI is also pretty complex.
Is it though? I mean the AI uses the same routines in reaction to the point you are supposed to plan your routes/kills around it.
Skipped the mid-gen refreshes, so I just wanted a PS5 to keep playing the enormous PS4 library except with maybe shorter load times and pro mode.Same. Getting to play the Pro version of stuff plus faster loading and upgrading from an old 1080 TV to a 4K OLED have been big leap.
MGS2 had better AI than Hitman 3.MGS2 had an amazing AI (in general, but especially for the time) so i don't have an issue with that.
Nobody would want to play an FPS where the cpu can just headshot you perfectly as soon as you turn a corner.
I specifically remember chuds bitching about Aloy's looks after e3 2016 gameplay and at release. Basically that she looked too "plain" and unattractive. Now they're complaining about weight. She really doesn't look much different from the first game in Forbidden West. :lol

Speaking of outfits, every 3rd person game needs a wide selection of outfits to wear including casual clothes like that jeans & tanktop.People don't want to admit that playing games (in 3rd person) is a bit like playing with dolls/action figures. :doge
Like I'm playing Judgment PS5 and you get outfits/disguises to sneak into areas and there's an entire outfits tab on the menu but it specifically says YOU CAN'T USE THESE OUTSIDE THEIR STORY PARTS
:mindblown
Like wtf, not only do you actually go the extra length to make outfits but you don't let players just use them whenever. I'm guessing it's because some of the cutscenes are pre-rendered and they don't want it to look weird when the outfit changes, but fuck it, still make it available as a choice. I don't even like the main dude's regular jeans + leather jacket outfit.
This is why I like games like Saint's Row and GTA. Fashion is fun.
I specifically remember chuds bitching about Aloy's looks after e3 2016 gameplay and at release. Basically that she looked too "plain" and unattractive. Now they're complaining about weight. She really doesn't look much different from the first game in Forbidden West. :lol
incels upset that their vidya gurls don't look like porn stars and shit jfc
PC modders are on the case!

Character fashion/cosmetics is absolutely crucial for a 3rd person game. And I still believe no one has done it as well as Dragon's Dogma, where you can mix/match/combine clothes with armor pieces. :delicious (if there's another game that does that, let me know!) No words can describe my yearning for that to be built upon in DD2.
Oh Word . I have PoE, but haven't tried it yet.Character fashion/cosmetics is absolutely crucial for a 3rd person game.

Pretty much any ARPG (Diablo, Path of Exile, Grim Dawn) has that to one extent or another and it's a HUGE part of PoE to the extent that cosmetic microtransactions are how the game makes money.

Good enough for me, I even held off some of my PS4 backlog, but then you couldn't get one :paul
I would complain about GoT's PS5 upgrade being $30 but by the time I'm able to get a PS5, it'll be free on PS+ again :goty
I won't call GoT DC scammy, but from the trailer, that new island's content really looks like a lot of the same stuff from the main game with minimal changes.
Hope i'm wrong because i had fun with the game and i wouldn't mind new stuff.
Happy if they show Little Devil Inside.Oh snap, I totally forgot about that game. :lol Yeah, it looked super interesting.
backed that KS what feels like 20 years ago, now.
Same here about Deathloop... Could care less. This State of Play sounds fairly uninteresting. Guess I'm curious about whatever 3rd party stuffz maybe.
https://twitter.com/PlayStation/status/1412411083361509385
Zero interest in Deathloop but hopefully we get some more neat stuff. It's weird they didn't save Ghost of Tsushima news but I guess that did leak early

You can now insert an M.2 SSD to your PS5’s expansion slot and use M.2 SSD storage. Just like your PS5’s console storage, you can install PS5 and PS4 games in M2 SSD storage and play them directly from there.Edit:
You can use PCle 4.0 M.2 SSDS with a capacity of 250 GB minimum and 4 TB maximum.
To safely insert or remove your M.2 SSD, make sure your PS5 is turned off and that the AC power cord is unplugged.
To use M.2 SSD storage, insert your M2 SSD in your PS5’s expansion slot while your PS5 is turned off. When you turn on your PS5, you’ll format your M.2 SSD so that it’s ready to use.
To move a PS5 or PS4 game that’s installed in console storage or USB extended storage to M2 SSD storage, go to your game library, press the options button and then select [Move Games and Apps]. Then select the game you want to move, and then select.
You may need to consider the cooling requirements for using an M.2 SSD in a PS5, though. “Using an M.2 SSD with your PS5 console requires effective heat dissipation with a cooling structure, such as a heatsink,” explains Sony. “You can attach one to your M.2 SSD yourself, either in a single-sided format, or double-sided format.”
:steel.

2022 is gonna be a banger
people have been saying that every year i've been on gaming forums. and then half gets delayed, and half of what is left turns out to be a bit shitFWIW, i'm not at all hyped for God of War or Horizon in the first place.
That’s what we said about 2021 last year :gotytbf it was well on it's way before Covid fucked everything up.
Plus Nier Automata around then too... That shit was nuts with choice nug games dropping.That’s what we said about 2021 last year :gotytbf it was well on it's way before Covid fucked everything up.
2022 might be 2017 redux :drool I just hope Nintendo and Sony can spread out Zelda and Horizon by more than a few days this time. :lol

Plus Nier Automata around then too... That shit was nuts with choice nug games dropping.And Persona 5 in April. It was a bonkers 4 months to start the year.
I would bet lots of American dollars on MP4, Starfield, Dragon Age, and probably God of War all being delayed.Something like Starfield would boost GamePass. I think we will see a lot of games launch in the first 6 months of 2022 and depending on how those perform the publishers will either open the flood gates or spread them out well into 2023.
I have the new sn850 western digital black drive on order for a pc I'm building, but a friend just said he can get Samsung 980 evo pro's on sale as well though a partner deal w his office. afaik these are the only two nvme drives worth considering rn. might keep the black order and grab a pro 1tb also....

Overall Nintendo has ample room to drop all their games througout the year. More interesting is if long delayed or early announced titles like Bayo 3, Ghostwire Tokyo and Pragmata surface.

I mean it's just like the PS4.
PS4 took forever to support expanded storage. Is there an official portal to what the PS4 supports? Is there anything official beyond some Segate HDDs that are blue and have the logo for $10 more?
But MS requires you to use proprietary format, no?
The most important thing is whether your heatsink will fit. It can't exceed 110 x 25 x 11.25 millimetres in size, and must not take up more than 2 millimetres beneath the SSD and 8 millimetres above it.
But MS requires you to use proprietary format, no?
not sure what you mean? i assume it uses their proprietary ntfs format like windows yeah
From a Pushsquare articleCan't you order an Aorus Gen4 SSD? I have one of those without a heatsink because my board had slots with built-in heatsinks.QuoteThe most important thing is whether your heatsink will fit. It can't exceed 110 x 25 x 11.25 millimetres in size, and must not take up more than 2 millimetres beneath the SSD and 8 millimetres above it.
No mention of any of this anywhere via official Sony channels -_- the only gen4 nvme drive available here (corsair mp600) with a heatsink pre-installed would not fit this.
The heatsink on the MP600 has been well designed so it can be easily detached so that the drive can make use of a motherboard’s own M.2 cooling system if it has one fitted or if space is at a premium. To remove the heatsink is just a matter of releasing the four clips that hold the heatsink to the backing cradle.
I was mistaken then and yeah adding storage on the PS5 seems more annoying.I mean it's just like the PS4.

If website only fails to make a differentiation between what type of system download you need to get it working. Otherwise, if you have a great reading comprehension, the whole thing is really simple.

A number of brands have models both with and without heatsinks.
Plus in most cases the heatsinks are detachable to accomodate for the high-end boards.

It's funny to me watching people freak out about this shit but then I remember that so few of you console only dirt people have ever built a computer.It's not that I think it's hard. I had to put a nvme and other ssds into my computer. I do think it should be plug in go because it's a console, but I also think it should be painless to know what to buy.
:snob
Yeah, I modded all my old systems for region-free through like PS2/Dreamcast. My favorite mods were where you had an actual switch installed in the back to switch between regions. My Saturn has that.I fried my first Xbox soldering it in 2004. Called it a learning experience. An expensive one now that I look back on it.

I would be shocked if God of War II: Ragnarok Boogaloo makes it out next year at all, but if it does it will probably be Novemberish.
Tune in next Thursday, September 9 at 1:00pm Pacific Time / 9:00pm BST / 10:00pm CEST for a look into the future of PS5. The Showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes and include updates from PlayStation Studios and some of the industry’s most imaginative developers, for games releasing this holiday and beyond. And stick around after the presentation to get more updates from some of the studio teams featured in the Showcase.
Microsoft is doing it right. Sony is being greedy and arrogant as fuck.I don't disagree, but $10 here or there for upgrades on games I enjoy playing is ok with me. It's far and few between those anyways (for me at least). The thing about Horizon though which is distinguished mentally-challenged, is the having to pay more for the lesser version as well. That should be automatically included with the "already upgraded" PS5 version. That in itself should've been a given.
Dunno why you would pretend this is a normal way of doing things, when smaller pubs give free upgrades for their games.
Lets be honest, its just 10€ charge for upping the settings which should obviously be a free thing.Yeah, I can see it that way too... But for H:FW's instance, it's like paying extra for downgraded settings. That's taking it too far there... Only pseudo justification is the dlc content sprinkled in there.
This is like paying for a patch tbh.
Such Smart (tm) Delivery (tm)
Like Nintendo, they can get away without one.. they know people will buy their games regardless. Their install base is will suffice for now. I'm surprised how quick they turned that around though.. they learned that tactic from MS. LolSuch Smart (tm) Delivery (tm)
Sony still doesn't even have a Game Pass competitor. You have to give them a decade to catch up to MS for each thing.

I would keep a closer eye on Nintendo.
Moving from video games to expanding their IP's into other ventures (movies, theme parks etc.) is historically very risky for gaming companies.
Nintendo has the luck that it doesn't all depend on a single IP though so they have more room to fail than others.
On the other hand as long as you "acquire" them, they're yours to keep. When games rotate out of gamepass that's it.You keep the games you acquire through Xbox Live Gold, which is also included in the Gamepass sub. That's the same as the PS+ monthly games. And unlike PS+, games you acquire through XBL Gold are yours forever even if you let your subscription run out.
As I said, they're not strictly identical but they're in principle similar :yeshrug
The car license stuff.
I've paid $78 for 3 years of PS+. It's not that big of a rip off, especially with the Plus Collection added. Nintendo Online on the other hand... :doge
GP is definitely the best bang for you buck, but it's not for everyone. It's a waste for me. I don't have the time to play not even a portion of the games they offer..
Not 100% True Beezy, only the 360 games you keepwell shit
Went into an Euronics today (some big electronic store chain) to buy some minor shit and there was a guy, i guess you'd define as a FIFA/CoD type casual gamer, mumbling completely puzzled to his girl: "Not even here? [as in: at this store] where the fuck are all the Playstations?!".
Made me chuckle because i guess the chip shortage is that kind of news that doesn't directly reach that demographic, so its effects appear all the more puzzling.
Funny thing is, they had one PS5 as a demo unit, you know, under glass hooked to a TV, but it had no gamepads, so you couldn't even try that. :lol
The struggle is real.
Is there still much of a shortage then?
I feel like people who defend PS+ just haven't experienced Game Pass on either Xbox or PC so the frame of reference just isn't there.
There is no competition, PS+ is a joke compared to Game Pass and might as well not exist. PS+ is essentially paying $60 or whatever a year for online play. The "free games" part is generally about three old ass games worth a couple bucks 90% of the time and every once and a while there's something good but that is rare.
Game Pass is basically half of the game releases in the world, both AAA and indie, for $10/month. It's Netflix of gaming. There's more stuff than you can ever play.
PS Now is sort of more similar to Game Pass except they are old ass games and it's streaming vs local. If they upgraded PS Now to have current day 1 releases constantly, even if it was a streaming platform, it'd be a Game Pass competitor. But right now there is just nothing on Sony that is similar to what Game Pass provides.
Sony reps have been saying for years that Sony is working on a Game Pass alternative, meaning they don't view PS+ or PS Now as that and something else is in the works. They're just taking fucking forever to announce/release whatever it is.
But yeah Smart Delivery will probably happen in PS6. Sony doesn't even have VRR support yet. They lag. Fuck we lost folders and still don't have them back.
Some game stores here in the Netherlands are even selling them at scalper prices. Think the disc model was going for 800 euros last time I checked. Then there's other stores that only sell them bundled with a bunch of shit to maximize profits.Yeah same here.
Not like it will get any cheaper or receive visions anytime soon in this situation.Not sure, they might try to create a smaller revision that needs less silicon to get around the shortages and is cheaper to ship.
Making everything "smart" was a cancerous thing i'd be glad to see gone.
it will be a sad dad walking sim based on one of the pilots :heh:lol
So, Sony acquired FireSprite Studios; former Studio Liverpool folks. Possible Wipeout successor incoming? Yes please!
Most of this year's gaming events have been pretty muted (thanks to covid), but I suspect today's PlayStation show will be worth taking your lunch break to watch. Expecting surprises, superheroes, and the reveal of a game that people have been hounding me about for years
Oh, Alan Wake is actually a remaster and not a remake. Kinda disappointed.
Uncharted on PC now I guess.
I feel like we are right on the cusp of 6x marvel games a year brehs :rejoicespoiler (click to show/hide):nintex[close]

are load times on xplatform games with ps5 really better than the pc equivalent (nvme gen4 ssd etc)? I have a modern pc with nvme gen4 drive as boot and for newer games and loading in games that are optimised (cyberpunk, metro exodus enhanced, star wars rogue squadron, psychonauts 2 that I've played recently) is fast to the point I've never thought about load times
Deathloop PC load times w/modern SSD are apparently around 17-20 seconds per mission and a few seconds on PS5 for instance.

seems kinda low :thinkingWhat I thought too.
I honestly don't want them to do remakes anymore. Their products basically look like those "MARIO IN 4K ULTRA HD" youtube vids. Like some student project with an AAA budget. I wish Demon's Souls had a toggle to go back to the old graphics.
They've basically been Playstation's 343 Studios. Their Halo remakes also look disgusting.
I think they deserve the chance to make their own game at this point. They probably would like to give it a shot and not be stuck making remakes forever :yeshrug
If that doesn't work out Jimbo will probably chain them back to the remake desk.
Resident Evil on GC after all wasn't a 1:1 recreation of the PS1 version, and yet it was significantly better for it, in my opinion.

You say this like it's a bad thing.
Oh no, what a hard and degrading life for the studio to be making the definitive modern versions of classics games like Metal Gear Solid, SoTC and Demon Souls.
They aren't some port studio working on ports of like Shadowman or something. I'd think they'd be happy to be working on fucking great games a lot of them probably love and that people love what they do.
True, but if we look at it from a "death of the author" point of view, you just look at the final product and judge it on its merit.Resident Evil on GC after all wasn't a 1:1 recreation of the PS1 version, and yet it was significantly better for it, in my opinion.
That had Shinji Mikami at the helm though. I don't even know if Bluepoint ever did their own gameplay. As far as I heard Demon's Souls PS5 was basically 1:1 on gameplay.

Yet you also downplay the work on less flashy ports like Shadowman. I think the entire narrative sorrounding BluePoint, which demanded them to "upgrade" to "real" games, was pretty disrespectful. As history has shown, even making good ports isn't that simple. Image you find a craft you're good at and everybody tells you to do real work instead.
We don't even know what that studio is capable of beyond remastering. Not to mention, when Western developers vociferously announce new IPs like this, it's usually safe ass cinematic action adventures anyway. :snore And when it's announced, the same people cry that the announcement conference didn't revive nostalgic IPs instead.
Isn't that just because you like the victorian architecture more.

When I look at the bottom picture it makes me think the designers only thought about if it looked cool. Not if it made sense design wise.
Also Demon's Souls sold 1.4 million
this got posted a lot to this point originally, but if you actually played the game it's a massive overreaction. I loved the original. but the remake is beautiful, tonally consistent and an improvement to play.:hesright
I did play the game and absolutely hated the visuals. So whatever floats your boat. It's like those hollywood remakes of Japanese horror we got in the early 2000s.
On a technical level it's impressive, but I cannot stand their art design.
Sony has announced that it will be bringing a new feature to PS5 called 'Auto HDR Tone Mapping', and it basically does exactly what Dolby Vision does in games – yay! But you'll only be able to use it if you have a 'BRAVIA XR' TV, which means the five highest-end models from Sony's 2021 TV range.
https://www.t3.com/amp/news/ps5-gets-another-killer-graphics-upgrade-but-theres-a-huge-catchSounds like what they tried to pull for PS Remote Play; only allowing the app on the Xperia at first ... Once they realize (again) that it was another asinine marketing push, I'm sure they'll drop it for other capable tvs down the line.QuoteSony has announced that it will be bringing a new feature to PS5 called 'Auto HDR Tone Mapping', and it basically does exactly what Dolby Vision does in games – yay!

Got one of these things. Not that it matters, but the PS5 is even uglier than it looks in photos/videos. At least standing it up vertically looks better, but from the front it looks like bent construction paper.Awwww yeeeah
Am impressed by how relatively quiet it is and how quickly updates download/install. Game downloads, too. Massive improvement over the PS4.
Picked up FFVII Intergrade, Neptunia Reverse, and Devil May Cry 5 SE to go with it- interested in seeing how the latter will look and run at 120 fps on my LG C1, although IIRC doesn't it drop the resolution down to 1080P when doing this?
It prompted to download Guilty Gear Strive when setting up the system. Neat how it just automatically upgrades and gives you the PS5 version like that. Going to try out some other PS4 games and pay rip-off Sony prices to upgrade Spider-man and Ghost Of Tsushima.
Also got two 4K blu-ray movies. Been wanting to see how those look and never had a 4K blu-ray player before.
Devil May Cry 5 SE to go with it- interested in seeing how the latter will look and run at 120 fps on my LG C1, although IIRC doesn't it drop the resolution down to 1080P when doing this?FWIW I highly preferred the 1080p/60fps with RT on. the 120fps is all over the place.
I really like Returnal, but starting over from the beginning is too strict for me. I wish they had the same approach as Super Stardust, once you have cleared a level you can choose to start the game from second level. It would be even better if it saved my progress. Beating the first boss took me a long time and I doubt I will ever revisit it unless they add a more forgiving mode.I agree. Granted my hurdle is getting past the 3rd biome boss, a straight up 'reload save' would be much more welcome than a suspend, especially when you got the right drops. It takes me over an hour just to get back there with decent power ups.

No, they're just letting you suspend a run and exit the game without having to start all over.

Ah, so like, chapter selection. I don't think it would make it any easier TBH.I wouldn't think so either. After you beat a chapter, it unlocks a permanent (but random) shortcut... But it's usually advised to not do that if you want to build up your arsenal adequately. I have to fully run through just to even reach the 3rd boss. That 3rd biome is flippin brutal with it's mobs. Every vid I've watched on how to get past it, their health bar is doubled in size and have some level 20 shit with some shield that blocks everything. :doge Well, of course you had no problem defeating it. ::)
Ok, I reinstalled the game to try out the new "suspend cycle", for science.:thinking :obama
So, save scumming works perfectly as you would expect. And in fact, it's now been streamlined: when on the PS5 home screen and on top of the game icon, press OPTIONS, then UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD SAVED DATA, and you'll have the two needed functions right there in the same screen, UPLOAD or DOWNLOAD. It really couldn't be easier.
A few notes of stuff I noticed while retrying a couple of times:
Room layout is the same, so this appears to be randomized only when first entering the biome, not when retrying from your save
Chests, Obolite chunks, resins, keys all appear in the same places and with the same malignant status, so also not random
But interestingly, destroyable walls are random, although it appears that if a room has a destroyable wall, it will also have one when scumming, just in a different part of the room
Enemy composition is random, you won't face the same enemies when scumming
Although you can also suspend with enemies around, so if you've already triggered an enemy wave, it's the same enemies when you reload
Dropped loot from enemies (items, weapons, parasites) is random
Chest contents are random
Fabricator stuff is random
Terror image Splash screens when reloading are random
Parasites on the ground are not random, they have fixed bonuses and maluses
Bonus rooms entrances are not random, but the bonus room itself is random
Didn't try it, but since the Obolite repository is tracked online, you could save scum right before depositing obolites, reloading and depositing again until full to get an item
Save-scummers rejoice! The time it takes from pressing the PS button, closing the game, downloading your data from the cloud and restarting to the point you're back in action is 42 seconds.
remember when State of Plays were good?
:engel
I don't get it, they announced FFXVI with "ok" graphics saying they were using a different approach, being realistic with the production, announcing closer to the game shipping, etc, and now it's been forever since the reveal? ???
I hope it's not yet another disaster...

Hey, that look is probably nostalgic to grandpa Chronovore.
Anyone know if there's a way to see historical price drops on the PS store? Thinking about pulling the trigger on Hitman 3, but it seems pretty expensive even after discount and I'm sure it's been cheaper before.....
Probably gonna cave and get a PS5 before GT7 drops (if I can snag one), is the controller battery life still dog shit?I'd say a good 4 hours straight using full-on haptics. The DSe is much improved in all aspects over the DS4, IMO.

DualSense has grown on me and does feel good.Interesting. I know we all have different hands, but I thought the d-pad was greatly improved over the DS4... like they went back to how it was on DS3. But then, I don't play fighters, so I guess it's different for me... It's been excellent for 2D platformers.
Dpad still sucks for fighters though.
Probably gonna cave and get a PS5 before GT7 drops (if I can snag one), is the controller battery life still dog shit?I'm actively looking for PS5's now and I bet when (if) I snag one they'll announce a 6 month delay on GT7 :stahp

snagged one of these bad boys and it's coming tomorrow. are download speeds improved? my ps4 (day one, maybe later models were better?) download speeds were fucking tragic compared to the super fast ones I'd get on the Xbox.Congrats! DL speeds are roughly double that of PS4. Play Astrobot! :D
(and move the left stick where the dpad is for fuck sake even nintendo do that :stahp).(https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/blaspheme_blues_brothers.gif)
I just hope the single player campaign is fun. They spend so much time on the car list, but c'mon, is anyone really going to drive more than like 50 cars in the game? I'd rather they hype up tracks and campaign mode stuff than endless cars I'll never use.Yeah, I was just expecting "Over 5,000 cars and 500 tracks with 4K graphicsez!!" and that was it, but the extra stuff like the cafe seemed kinda cool. (And 2player couch co-op split screen!) The weather and stars shit though... who the F pays so much attention to such details?! Holy smokes! Ironically, this is looking to be the Ace Combat 7 of driving games. I need to see more of what rally stuff they'll have though. That's my jam.
I think its mostly because the tracks and environments in Gran Turismo tend to look flatter than in Forza games?Never played a Forza, so I wouldn't know. But yeah, seems GT pretty much always reuses the same real life tracks all the time. Would love to see their team come up with their own tracks.
Didn't realize a Ghostwire showcase is today ???

Most likely nothing. At most, some silly tech demo racer of sorts I would presume.. If only Polyphony would revisit Omega Boost (in VR) or something actually not GT. :-\
New PS5 UI Features(https://media4.giphy.com/media/NCjISbEPFxm48/giphy.gif)
- Filter by genre
We've added an option to filter your game collection by genre, letting you quickly find specific types of game experiences.
- Keep in Home
You can now keep the games or apps you choose on your home screen by selecting "Keep in Home" with the (options) button.
You can keep a maximum of five games and apps on each home screen with this feature.
- Increased apps on the home screen
You can now have a total of 14 games and apps appear on your home screen.
In the last month or two has anyone else been getting a weird 1-2 second pop up of "checking for cloud storage save" when you take the system out of rest mode and resume a game? It's not a big deal but it's weird that this only started recently for me.Yes that's been happening to me while playing Horizon.
Back in 2006, whenever Project Gotham Racing 3 came out, I thought: this is it. How do you make car games look better. Every couple of years I check in on one of these and get reminded that I'm an idiot.They cheat a lot with photo modes in these race games and upping the graphics for only the player car.

Forza Horizon 5 is very fun but I greatly miss PGR. :'(
why are the wheel spins so shit. Out of the 10 or so I've had, I've gotten the worst prize 8 times >:(
And the games still arent as fun as PGR3
Not expecting anything hot given how long it is tbh.
And the games still arent as fun as PGR3
Which was nowhere near as fun as the Sega and Namco arcade racers. I miss arcade racers so much- sims are :zzz Gran Turismo has always been a snoozer. Keeps looking better, but stays boring.
You know, I wish there was an option in GT to change which side the steering wheel is on. I drive a lot of Japanese cars in GT and as a USA person I'd like it if the wheel was on the left side visually. I mean when you drive these same Japanese cars in the USA the wheel is on the left. It's just weird to keep switching sides depending on the car you're in. I feel like Forza doesn't do this?
In real life racing, when American drivers drive Japanese cars are the wheels on the left or right?
People seem unhappy with gt7. Bought the 25th anniversary edition like an idiot and still haven't opened it. Maybe this weekend.
local retailer threw this in "free" with a black PS5 controller that was already on sale :rejoice
done with elden ring, couldn't really stomach going back to horizon straight away (think im 3rd person action game'd out) so it's this and some jrpg i think (ni no kuni 2? that the good shit?)
Between the game and the wheel/pedals and wheelstand I spent like $1,300 on it :(

I heard Ni No Kuni 2 was rather disappointing but I haven't played it yet. It's a shame since it looked like it at least fixed the awful combat from the first game (a sore spot on what could've otherwise been one of the top RPGs from the disappointing 360/PS3 gen).
Have you played Yak 7 yet? I think that's overall my favorite RPG from the PS4/5 gen.
Returnal update is out, did two runs last night and the tower seems awesome, way more elaborate than I was expecting on both the gameplay and story fronts. I don't know what Sony is doing, they charge ten bucks for 1800P to 4K PS4 upgrades but then give this away for free, literally zero logic :lolWas planning on taking a few hour break from Elden Ring to try and rip through this with some 2p.
Pre-ordered Ghostwire today. Not a huge fan of pre orders usually, but I'm going to buy it anyhow and I'd like it to be delivered in time for launch day.
Got my copy of Ghostwire today. The Yakuza games must've captured the feel of Tokyo pretty well. So far it felt like an fps set in Kamurocho. Haven't found Kabukicho yet. Hope it's in the game.
Shooting itself felt really basic in the hour I played. Hope it picks up in later sections.
I have downloaded many hanime liveries for my car's :jgames
Persona 5 will leave the PS Plus Collection on May 11. Add the game to your game library before then to continue to access it while you have an active PlayStation Plus subscription

When attaching a replacement steering wheel such as the Fanatec ClubSport Steering Wheel Formula V2 on the Fanatec CSL Elite and Fanatec Podium, changed the ‘MFD Change’ function assigned to both left and right toggle switches so that the left toggle switch is assigned to the ‘Switch MFD’ feature.
Various other issues have been addressed.
Thank you for your continued support and please continue to enjoy Gran Turismo 7!
Tried out some more stuff.
I can't tell the difference. Hell I tried out Dirt 5 and between Quality, Performance and 120fps mode I can't tell the difference in framerate and the image quality looks like shit across the board with 120fps just being a bit lower res.
Getting that "I'm too old for this shit" feeling

Did you actually turn it on for games that don't support it through a patch? There's an option for it in the menus.
Edit: I think my Samsung tv also has some tv options you gotta turn on for HDMI 2.1 to work.

Yeah, what I'm getting from it is that VRR really only excels in two situations:Yeah this is what I'm experiencing so far. Elden Ring still gets pretty framey because it's dropping below the fps threshold.
One is when you're game is really close to 60fps but not quite there and drops to 50/55 at times, VRR will smooth out the 48-60fps range. This is pretty rare and it sounds like it's mostly stuff like RE8 Village and Ghostwire Tokyo. Elden Ring performance mode it helps keep it at 60fps but still drops a lot because you get drops below 48fps.
It saves after each race
I use that championship to grind cred's when I need to, there are more efficient ways sure, but I'd rather do 5 different races than grind the same track over and over
How's stock over there? In Japan it's still fucked, street price is $800 for one of these goddamn things. Unobtanium.
Am I imagining things or does is the dualsense battery life worse than the dual shock 4?
Haven't actually played many PS5 apps on my PS5. Tend to use the DS4 with PS4 apps, just because. Playing a PS5 game, it's dropping to one bar after every two to four sessions. If I had to estimate, it's 5 to 7 hours? It's pretty bad on DS4 too, but isn't giving low battery until close to 10.
I moved the PS5 into a semi-enclosed unit beneath my TV a few months ago.
You should also wrap it in a blanket to make sure it's as comfy as possible (https://ih1.redbubble.net/image.792449802.0161/flat,128x128,075,f-pad,128x128,f8f8f8.jpg)Meh. I can either have a wife and a PS5 in a unit, or a wife and no PS5. :-\

That sucks, hopefully the stand fixed it for you.
Might’ve read Sony were tuning the fan curve? For a Sony console it’s near silent. After all the jet engine complaints on the PS4, they’re running the fans at low RPM?
Nearly 30 minutes of announcements and updates from the world of PlayStation. We’ll have some exciting reveals from our third-party partners, plus a sneak peek at several games in development for PlayStation VR2.If they drop some Astrobot, the cup will be filled.
People still care about final fantasy? 🤣
But whyyyEvery now and then there is still a great Final Fantasy game. The FF7 remake exceeded my expectations by far.
My initial thought was a new Riddick reboot without Vin.
So that wasn’t Dead Space…
My initial thought was a new Riddick reboot without Vin.
So that wasn’t Dead Space…
It's because Atari and Starbreeze both went bankrupt. I imagine Vin's company is the only one in position to unify the rights by buying them (for peanuts) off the corpse of Atari but he doesn't seem to care enough. If Koch Media had gotten the rights when it put Starbreeze back together they would have put it back on the stores.My initial thought was a new Riddick reboot without Vin.
Could be making this up but that series is in rights limbo. They got delisted on GOG and other digital stores. Shame. Xbox game rocked.
I keep forgetting about Horizon 2. :lol Guess I'll get to it when it drops to $30 this holiday instead.
spent the day playing Returnal. finally truly clicked. I liked it immediately but it was hard and enigmatic, still pushed through phrike and then died promptly in biome 2. played a little more but not much. watched the fextralife tips vid and did a more methodical run after a break and ended up pushing through the next few biomes. this game is something else. really cool stuffThey really utilized the PS5 features well... Which makes me wonder, when Returnal comes to PC, they'll be missing out on the DS haptic gameplay.. I so need to get back to this once I finally finish Elden Ring. Besides the brutal rogue element, the game's solid AF.

Good question... does the DS5 function the same way when you just plug and play it to PC versions of the game? I just assumed it wouldn't, but who knows. Besides Astrobot, not sure what other games really use the haptics that truly play as part of the gameplay, as Returnal does.Why wouldn't haptic feedback be available if you use a DS5 controller?spent the day playing Returnal. finally truly clicked.

Also will take higher resolution options and better/higher framerates over that any day.Well, that any day will have to wait a year or two, sure. And even then, one will have to pay full price for a year or two old game. :umad Something which Nintender folk should be use to though. :betty :fbm

Why is that statement Sony specific, other than Sony having limited exclusivity? This is everything gaming, other than Nintendo on the brain, brother... This was a deliberate jab at Nintendo's shit tier price gouging.And even then, one will have to pay full price for a year or two old game. :umad
You've got too much Sony on the brain, my friend. If it doesn't release at a lower price, it will be discounted from other sellers and/or the price will be slashed soon enough.
:bolo
But you're talking about Returnal!Returnal looks eye popping and runs like butter on PS5, not sure you'd see much difference with an even higher framerate and resolution...
:huh
Returnal looks eye popping and runs like butter on PS5, not sure you'd see much difference with an even higher framerate and resolution...
:goldbergIf only my eye sight got better with age... :lol :tocryReturnal looks eye popping and runs like butter on PS5, not sure you'd see much difference with an even higher framerate and resolution...
I pray one day that this poor, lost soul will experience superior input at 120hz or greater at 4K or higher.

Always thought your more of an Xbox man, but good for you, have fun man!
Gotta play FF16 and Remake 2And go down PS memory lane with Astro's Playroom too! :aweshum
I won't stand for any debasing of either Astrobot game. Best games Sony 1st party has made in the last 20 years.:respect
The platforming controls are tight, the level design is great, the art style and graphics are awesome, the music is awesome and it has tons of heart. Yeah the PS5 pack-in one is very short, but it's not supposed to be a full game. It's a mini-game and it's great. Can't wait for the full length sequel and Astrobot VR2.
I refuse to pull my psvr out of storage to try the first Astro bot, that thing belongs to the dust mites and spiders now.
This is the million dollar question for me... Wish they'd make it clear beforehand, but they're being obnoxiously silent about it like they were with PS5 being BC with PS4. Plus, weren't they wanting to launch that this holiday?? It seems they're being quiet about it too. I dunno.I refuse to pull my psvr out of storage to try the first Astro bot, that thing belongs to the dust mites and spiders now.
Hopefully PSVR2 will be backwards compatible. Either that or they port Astrobot VR1 over early on.
Hopefully PSVR2 will be backwards compatible. Either that or they remaster Astrobot VR1 early on for $70 dollars.
I'd so buy that.Hopefully PSVR2 will be backwards compatible. Either that or they remaster Astrobot VR1 early on for $70 dollars.

No it will cost $69.99Hopefully PSVR2 will be backwards compatible. Either that or they remaster Astrobot VR1 early on for $70 dollars.

I didn’t even bother with the game, think I immediately deleted that shit from my PS-quintuple because RDR2 and FF7R alone eat up a fucking shitload of drive space.Now hold up... You're telling me you got a PSVR and haven't tried Rescue Mission yet? If so, you need to get on that. Rescue Mission is the real playing Mario 64 for the first time deal. Go dust that thing off and play it!
I’m still somewhat convinced the AstroBot VR fans greatly oversell that game, though I am open to trying it if I ever get the PSVR 2.

2PH inventive? It's a straight (inferior) clone of a 90's game :lol
I thought Returnal was supposed to be difficult. I literally one-shot every boss. I'm already on "Act 3"
Are people just soft these days

Just want a back button add on like the PS4. Still don’t understand why a PS4 controller won’t work with PS5 games… besides the obvious reason.Shoot, why couldn't the DS3 work with the PS4? I still find it to be superior over the DS4, imo.
40fps? :scustYeah I don't get it. Impressions dropping right now, all everyone is talking about are all the accessibility options. Yeah that’s great and all. :goty
40fps? :scusthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXi7uO7wxdc
Gotta test to see if the external HDD is what’s busted but it’s barely working for PS4 games anymore. Used to have no issue. Now, sometimes assets don’t load, or it’s slow, and overall introducing glitches into games. Only using it as storage. Transferring files back and forth when needed is trying. Prices for compatible SSDs seem way down and I may get it over with.
I mean, given the specs what were you expecting.

$400 maybe? I dunno- none of these VR systems seem worth it to me.
Not sure I talked about it yet, but Stray is absolute dogshit and I am absolute NOT surprised this turd was hyped up by Sony crowd. Be better
legit question: what have they been doing in the VR space for the last 10 years besides making it more friendly for normies, cos this still looks like cumbersome shit for weirdos. Or have they give up the ghost on that?
fwiw: I'm on the I'll try it when its cheap enough, convenient enough and small enough train :elon
The impression I have of the Quest is it's still more of a curiosity than anything, just the whole scene doesn't seem to have come along as much as people expected like 10 years ago.
God of War 2 is sounding good. Wish I had time to play it at launch.
Have major no complaints with my five year old LG OLED, but I do get a little jealous when I see the various visual modes. The HFR mode is 80-90 FPS at 1440p. That’s pretty good. And I’m interested to see what the 40 FPS limit is about. Somehow it’s a lot smoother than 30 FPS? I’ll try it on the steam deck.
There's 11 games they revealed as well, but no Astrobot 2 yet... or anything that looks like a system seller tbph...
Oh no doubt Resi 8. I got PSVR1 for RE7 and it was worth every penny fir that alone imo. (Even though I waited a year for a price drop) I guess RE8 han't been confirmed to work at launch, but it'd be silly not to have that ready by then.There's 11 games they revealed as well, but no Astrobot 2 yet... or anything that looks like a system seller tbph...
Resi 8 is big enough for me, but they still haven't announced the launch lineup. They said at some point they'll reveal over 20 titles ready for launch, assuming there will be some updates (astrobot and wipeout would be sick) and some vr modes e.g. Gran Turismo 7, though knowing Polyphony and the troubles they've been having developing content for that game I wouldn't expect it at launch.

Maybe they'll pull some pretentious wank about Ragnarok not being the end but the beginning of a new cycle.
So that's the origin of that cliché. I thought Ragnarök was the end of the old times and beginning of new times, but not a cycle were it'll lead to the same shit again.Need to have Kratos pasted into this...
About 4 hours in. Playing on Give Me No Mercy at 60fps, game seems fine. Looks really nice on PS5, a lot of environmental detail.
I really need AAA games to go back to being games... I replayed some of God of War 3 last sunday and had so much more fun than I'm having here. Hopefully The Callisto Protocol delivers something closer to what I'm looking for.
For me the "PS4-ness" is most obvious in the lighting but most everything else looks to be of high quality. DF saying the PS5 version is like a PC version on high or very high settings makes sense to me. The PS4 version loses a shit load of texture and environmental detail in comparison. Walking around in the *early game location*About 4 hours in. Playing on Give Me No Mercy at 60fps, game seems fine. Looks really nice on PS5, a lot of environmental detail.
I may end up going with the 120fps mode.
120fps mode seems to run like 80-90fps which feels really good. But I definitely notice the softness to it.
By unlocking the 40fps mode they basically made the game ready for PS5 Pro which will run quality mode at 4k/60fps, but as is it just means a fluctuating Elden Ring style framerate (though it never stutters or dips as hard). Just seems kind of dumb they locked it at 40fps for the review builds and then unlocked it after.
I'm probably around where you are and the visuals are solid, but the game does make me wish it wasn't so cross-gen. DF said the gap between PS4->PS5 is smaller than Horizon 2 and it shows. Horizon 2 on PS5 looks like a current gen game, Ragnorak on PS5 looks like a really nice looking PS4 game.
Kratos is literally covered in the ashes of his dead wife and daughter.It did drive me a little crazy they just pass over that stuff in 2018. I understand why they focused on Zeus stuff given the themes of the game, but Kratos revealing to his son Atreus that he killed his father Zeus was suppose to be this big revelation...
I mean I'll give these new games that they are leagues above those games in writing

This couldn't have been any more lazy. Story sucks, gameplay sucks, combat sucks, everything sucks
Fuck this game
Zelda Skyward Sword has a 93 at release and it was just as bad as GoW 2018 or worse. Then on re-release on Switch it has an 81 because people are off the hype train and like oh wait this is a bad game (81 still way too high).Skyward Sword might be one of the oddest, most uneven major games ever released. It had some fantastic music and rock solid dungeons, but the connective tissue was awful. I'd have difficult time throwing a number on a game like that as a reviewer. During Ancient Cistern, it's like a 9. Collecting tadtones or fighting the Imprisioned for the 3rd time, its a fucking 2.
Big scores for exclusives are mostly out of cowardice. Work for an outlet people have heard of and dare give God of War a 7.8 or whatever at your peril.
People are still butthurt about Jeff Gertsmann giving Twighlight Princess a 8.8 almost 20 years later :doge
It really is distinguished mentally-challenged and frustrating too, because how else are you suppose to hear about the details of how much a game is worth it or not other than gameplay trailers (and lack of demos)? These journos of late are ruining it for others.. especially for Nintendo and Sony games... Blowing mediocre shit out of proportion. Destructoid giving Bayo 3 a perfect 10 too? Can they say least make it not so obvious they're hyper biased and/or paid off?
Then again maybe it's a leftover legacy of critics scoring the old God of War games higher than any other Sony game franchise.
Even on PS2/PS3
God of War - 94 MC
God of War II - 93 MC
God of War III - 92 MC
Which is crazy high. The mainline series has never fallen below a 92 MC. But the thing is that I think most players? Would rate the original game series higher than the new ones.

Sure, but Horizon FW has an 88 MC and even though I didn't care for FW, 88 isn't crazy. It's like an 8/10ish game. ZD is an 89 (I think ZD is great). Ghost of Tsushima is sitting at an 83, even Last of Us pt.2 is a 93 MC. Spider-Man is an 87! Miles is an 85.
It's not that GoW 2018 and Ragnorak scored well for an exclusive. But that reviewers are straight up scoring them higher than like every other Sony exclusive AAA that weirds me out. I don't get what critics love about these GoW walking sims with combat interruption and repetitive puzzles games. Reviewers are basically saying these two God of War games are the pinnacle of Sony games. Very odd.

I like how Ragnorak handles the ludonarrative dissonance with jokes. When you have people tagging along and Kratos is just going off doing side stuff the commentary is pretty good.
"My dad likes loot" :lol

Enjoyed the Angrboda section so much, I hooked up my PS3 and am now installing the God of War Collection 2 containing Chains of Olympus HD and Ghost of Sparta HD.
I like the sections that only pretend to be gameplay. The part where you chase Angrboda as the wolf, I put the controller down. Nothing happens. So it isn't gameplay.
I can not in good conscience call a game that is seemingly ashamed of being a game, a good game. I think it's a fine product. The combat that's there has a solid feel. But the overall package makes for a pretty bad game.
The best parts are the more open-world bits of each realm where you can explore around solving puzzles and doing sidequests and fighting optional bosses.100%. I imagine the next game on better hardware will lean harder into that content. Or at least I hope so.
Fair enough, but it's not like scripted sequences that play themselves is new to AAA gaming or even the God of War franchise. Just throwing a QTE prompt here and there doesn't make it gameplay.

I feel this is highly disingenuous. Usually there's still a fail state or some form of interactivity. Like 66% of this game literally plays itself. I'm not just talking about the QTEs.
I was in the Vanaheim section and there's this pit with spikes. You can't fall in and the jumping is automated. What is the fucking point? Any climbing section might pretty much be a cutscene. The original games had combat on those, sliding down and avoiding obstacles. What does this have? Nothing. Pushing forward on the boat, goat or whatever to listen to exposition. That isn't gameplay. Just make it a cutscene, then I can at least skip all that garbage on a subsequent playthrough.
Even Let's Cyber that says he's enjoying the game doesn't want to play it again after 100%. Sign of a fantastic game that is. This has been the absolute worst of this kind of design. At least Last of Us Part 2 had the decency to give the combat arenas it's own section in the menu that if you want to just go through the gameplay sections, you can.

Have you played like...any AAA game in the last 5 years?
If this climbing might as well be a cutscene I can't think of a single AAA game where climbing is not that. This isn't Tomb Raider where you can fail jumps. Platforming has been automatic in AAA since like Prince of Persia 2008.
Saying the game plays itself any more than your average game seems silly. The majority of the game time is spent in combat and no, that doesn't play itself. Figuring out puzzles doesn't play itself given how many times I've had to google solutions.
Honestly it feels like you should probably just cut your losses at this point if you're disliking the game so much already. You've seen the formula and if you don't care for it, it's not going to get any better.
/shrug, I'm not sure how the climbing in Last of Us 2 is necessarily any better or challenging than in God of War.
You seem like you're saying adding a fail state makes these auto-games/qtes suddenly good. I disagree. I don't think being able to fail a QTE vs a QTE that just sits there until you complete it makes a lick of a difference. QTEs have always just been a cutscene where you mash a button here and there. Platforming for AAA stuff has been totally on-rails with it being near impossible to fall since PoP 2008 and Uncharted 1. Last of Us is still just follow the path narrative platforming.
The stuff where the game takes away control for a conversation is a thing. But at this point it just seems like you hate the game and everything is bitch eating crackers for ya. I really think you should just drop it rather than hate finish it for completion, but it's your time.
I hate the main meat of the game.
I can see fans of action games who don't like rpgs and their cutscenes or don't PnC adventure games with lots of dialogue exposition and just walking around talking to people, not liking this change in direction. I like all those genre so it works for me. I thought Asgard was good because it was a lot of major central characters talking. Like when you play a Metal Gear game and you get scenes with the bad guys.
I get your complaint that if all these sections are essentially just long cutscenes, then why not just make them a cutscene that you can pause and skip. But ever since like...Half-life 2 gaming has pushed getting away from cutscenes and instead had you walk through cutscenes as they occur in real-time around you. The idea being the latter is more immersive than just watching a cutscene. But it also has its downsides like not being able to skip.
Cyber, any tips forI usually use the charged throw for bigger enemies at a distance and standard combos for smaller things until I can R3 them. The normal combo does big stun damage on smaller enemies. Also keep in mind it has its own skill tree and it needs to be leveled up to unlock all its moves, so it will get better.spoiler (click to show/hide)using the spear efficiently in combat?[close]
Final Trials and last 2 optional bosses wrecked my shit.
I probably spent 2.5 hours on Gná and completely overhauled my build multiple times before biting the bullet and lowering the difficulty to balanced.
Idk, kind of a rough end to my experience. :mjcry
The final trials were....well the trials themselves were fine, the stupid repeating 2 lower trials over and over to unlock each final trial was a shit grind and should've been excised.Yup. There was zero reason for this dumb filler.
Making full use of the PlayStation VR2, you’ll be wholly immersed when playing Resident Evil Village with this DLC. Visually, the vivid graphics of the 4K HDR display (2000×2040 per eye) and eye tracking produces a heightened perception of reality as if everything you see is actually there. 3D audio enhances the realism with audio from every angle, and your sense of touch is enhanced via the PlayStation VR2 Sense controllers. With one controller in each hand, you can feel the vibration, recoil, and resistance as you interact with objects in the world and fire weapons.:dsp
The Sense controllers also enable intuitive movements like putting your arms up to guard and holding your gun out in front of you to shoot, and there are additional actions you can perform to heighten your immersion. Hold two weapons independently, load a clip into your handgun to reload, and wield your knife with slashing or stabbing attacks. It’s a truly captivating experience that puts you directly into the twisted world that Ethan Winters is fighting through.(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52562121673_a1c15f0916_h.jpg)
An online project set in the world of Horizon and featuring a new cast of characters and a “unique stylized” look is currently in development at Guerrilla Games, the company confirmed in a job post.
So a MMO game or GAAS trash? I think they've missed the train on both of those, and free to play isn't sony's style at all :dogeWhat I get from "unique stylized" is a cartoony Fortnite clone with a Horizon coat. yuckitty yuck. :yuck
Got the GOW Ragnarok platinum. (Only cause it's easy to get.) Like the last game, the one on one bosses were easily the best part. Encounter design in general still leaves a lot to be desired. Way too many enemies with projectiles which aren't fun to fight in the system they created. They had 4 years to improve on the first game and what they did was just not good enough. If I consider the first game like a 7/10 this is like a 6,5 to me.

Games that have barely had anything shown so far either :teehee
Really? Did you not like FFVIIR? Otherwise, unless you got the time and energy to gobble up GamePass, there's really no reason to have a XB over a PS5. I'd still wait until that must play pops up on the horizon. Also, may want to wait till a smaller version of the PS5 comes out.

I would say there's not much difference between the PS5 and Series X but I can't help but notice that the Xbox is missing a lot of games lately that are announced for PS5, PS5+Switch or PS4+Switch.
It's clear that for Japanese third parties PlayStation is still the platform of choice if a Nintendo system can't run their game.
A console is sort of a long term investment especially this generation which is expected to run until the fall of 2028 (or at least that's what Microsoft thinks according to files from the Actiblizz take-over lawsuit).
Then again there's also the part where you want to play things now and at this time the PS5 has a stronger line-up. You can't go wrong with either system.
Xbox biggest ace in the hole is GamePass but there haven't been many releases as of late.
Otherwise, unless you got the time and energy to gobble up GamePass, there's really no reason to have a XB over a PS5.I've never seen the high quantity of games on GamePass used as a negative before.
If you're into shooters, Returnal is straight fire and a total must play. Playing any 3D shooter after it feels like playing in molases. No bullshit, just run and gun with a speed and firepower like no other. Sure, it's coming to PC, but it has higher requirements than your average PC port.Really? Did you not like FFVIIR?

FFXVI looks like a Dmc or Soulslike. If they're going to turn them into action games I might as well just play action games instead. By making every rpg action based rpg developers have rendered video game rpgs redundant. If FFXVI is going to be a DMC clone I might as well get DMCV, something I've never played, instead. Video game rpgs are overwhelmingly stupid (to me) and I'd rather stick to tabletop. I'm kind of done with RPGs with few exceptions and FFVIIr was one of those exceptions. If you showed me FFXVI in 2000 I wouldn't even think it was a Final Fantasy. As it is, it doesn't look like FF to me and it's time to pass the torch to the new generation and I have zero interest supporting the franchise any longer.
I have absolutely zero interest in RPGs, much less jrpgs. This entire past year I've mostly played shooters. Less bloat, more lean, more respect for my time, no stupid quests. Playing Gears of War 2 now.
It's not a bad thing at all for the price, there's just plenty of people that don't have the time to play so many games. If they'd allow you to add games to your library, permanantly like PS Plus or any other digital store front, it'd be so much better. Fuck playing games they're telling me to play in a limited time frame. Sounds just as shitty as a streaming service.Otherwise, unless you got the time and energy to gobble up GamePass, there's really no reason to have a XB over a PS5.I've never seen the high quantity of games on GamePass used as a negative before.
What Japanese support? lol All that shit is on PC and Switch.
:hesrightWhat Japanese support? lol All that shit is on PC and Switch.
If you can get a good PC, don't bother with either console and stick with that combo instead. PC = Xbox but with more games including some of the Sony ones. Switch for the Nintendo stuff.

It's supposed to be Ken Levine's spiritual succesor to System Shock 2/BioShock.
Having GT7 be the full game in VR is the only thing tempting me to get a PSVR2, but will still wait for Astrobot.I'm not ready to bite just yet either. Although I'm pretty hyped for RE8, I still want to see more. No doubt Astrobot will seal the deal, but I'm still holding out in hopes that Bamco will update AC7 to be fully playable in VR.. it just needs to happen. Especially after the success of Maverick last year.
Also it's always made sense for GT7 to be the full game in VR. I mean it's a PS4 game, there's plenty of overhead to run it on PS5 with slightly toned down PS4 visuals in VR.
So I guess Asobo will make a VR game?I think they're doing more than both. My guess is a Rescue Mission 2 (or a full-on remake of RM1) and also an epic scale Playroom style adventure. We need more than just a Playroom DLC.
They should make DLC for Astro's Playroom :stahp
VR :nope
VR :nope
Not going to consider the headset at all unless they add backwards compatibility for the VR games they released with the first one. Sony and their bullshit can fucking kick rocks til then.It's not up to Sony, it's up to the devs, since the tech is completely different. I hope more will follow suit and update their games to it... I can see them holding off to see how it performs sales-wise. The price is a bit of a turn off. Would really like to continue my Skyrim VR and DiRT campaigns on PSVR2.
I don't know enough about VR tech to really comment, so I'll just clarify that I'm not asking for the VR1 games to be upressed or remastered; I'm only asking that I can play them as-is (ugly old textures and all) on my PS5 with a VR2 headset, just as I can right now with the VR1 headset. That I apparently cannot do that with the VR2 headset smacks of the same bullshit attitude they have had in the last couple years with legacy console support on PSN, so I've been assuming for those games they want me to double-dip for any re-releases.I feel ya. Yeah, I guess I'm just thankful certain games are being transferred/ported. It's definitely not as bad of a sever as the jump from PS3 to PS4 was... Or 3DS to Switch. I'm honestly shocked that the GT7 upgrade is free. lol
My whole hang up with VR is I see it as a display. But it’s its own platform across different vendors and generations. I understand the ways PSVR1 to PSVR2 are different, tracking and operation and all. Mentally I still see it as buying a new monitor.It currently doesn't look too promising. :doge
I may invest in PSVR2 depending on how it plays with PCs. Idea I can’t play RE4 VR unless I invest in different headset is weird to me.

Honestly it doesn't even matter. It looks too good and too creative to pass up.
Added an SSD to mine and it’s relatively cheap and easy aside from PS5 quirks I forgot about. The stand loosely hanging off the back. Getting the covers off feeling like you’re about to snap it. New one I discovered, the external HDD can’t be used with the front USB plugs.Yeah, the front USB being limited (I guess it's 2.0?) threw me off when setting up the PSVR. Had to get a splitter for the back. Works great with it now.
Bummer about the repairs, that really sucks. Depending on how they handle things, by next holiday you may very well be able to pick one up on major discount or some kind of good bundle.And hopefully something Astrobot! :hyper
https://twitter.com/Wario64/status/1620267792707760128Getting a PS5 to begin with has been difficult to say the least. The subset of people who have a PS5 and also want another ¥80,000 acessory for it is a truly slim overlap in a venn diagram.
Yeah, they really over-estimated the consumer base that would be interested at that price. Like I get they wanted to make a premium quality product, but if they wanted to sell Oculus Quest 2 kinds of numbers, they needed to hit that Quest 2 kind of price (plus wireless if possible).
I just hope that PSVR2 bombing doesn't kill software support for it after a year. Probably won't pick one up for a few years until can tell if it'll be supported.
I wonder if they'll slash the price or if they're stuck because the components cost too much and they don't want to be taking massive losses on every unit sold.
Let's have Jumping Flash VR, put that new set through its paces and see if they can pull it off without making everyone vomit.People will vomit.
I got a note that the free downloadable games on PS Plus is going away in May. Looks like I better get downloading…
It's the same with the monthly games. Adding them to your library is enough to keep them for as long as you pay for PS+.

Nah, the PS collection that launched with PS5 is free forever once you add them to your library. You don't have to be subbed to PS+

Source? Pretty sure you need to be PS+ to play them
The whole point of PS+ collection was to a) get people to sub to that service and b) get over the fact that ps5 had no games
Checked it myself just now. It’s asking to resub to PS Plus basic to play those games I redeemed. But at least it’s not like the PS gamepass tier where games come and go.
PSVR 2 reviews all say it's a massive, true next gen leap over PSVR1. Dammit I want one.
FF7R battle system is so godlike. I'm so excited to play the sequel
Have you not tried it yet? PSN had a demo. It's a blast to play. You can technically play it old school way, but it's much more gratifying and tense going all in. Shit's good.FF7R battle system is so godlike. I'm so excited to play the sequel
What makes it good? Looks like your just spamming dodges and attacks.
Legend of Dragoon and Wild ARMs 2 hitting PSN this monthNone of these are Alundra. :hmph

Forspoken is so fuckin mid, lol
Yet another generic open world game with checkboxes to cross off
Cool yet another "tower"
Cool yet another "village"
Cool yet another "cave"
I actually don't mind Frey, she's probably the most refreshing part of the game
Good to know that FF16 is not open world, though sadly that doesn't mean that it won't have generic checklist gamedesign.

Thats what it looks like, which is for the best imo. Standard open worlds don't really work for a JRPG imo, I prefer them to be a globe trotting romp (Persona aside).Dragon's Dogma begs to differ. The greatest of all examples that a Western influenced JRPG can be spectacular... in the right hands of course.

:wut
Got the platinum on Forspoken, and just confirming this game is utter shit and should be avoided. Thanks for coming to my ted talk
Yooooooo :whoo :whew This shit looks damn beautiful.I don’t get this game. This looks so boring.

Both my launch Dualsenses are fucked in opposite ways at this point. One has a broken R2 spring with a slightly drifting right stick, while the other has a broken L2 spring with a slightly drifting left stick :existentialI've had multiple official controllers die for PS3 and PS4. They're just made poorly. I have never had a problem like this with any other console outside of drift issues with my switch controllers (which Nintendo fixed for free anyway). Sony's customer service response was consistently awful too.
I’ve never had a faulty PS controller since the PS1 days. This is fucking insane.
The drift can be cured for a bit with the same WD-40 or whatever shit I use on my Joycons, but based on videos I need to perform fucking open heart surgery to replace the trigger springs, and I know for a fact that I’d fuck it up and brick the controllers :lol
I hate everything :goty
Throughout all my gaming, besides the worst controllers on the planet; N64 controllers, I've only had one drift issue with a new DS4. Sony sent me a prepaid box for shipping and had it back to me in less than 10 days free of charge and works great. :idont
Not sure what people do with their controllers. I have a feeling more people drop them than they'd like to admit.. or stick them where they're not designed to be.
I've had at least one console from every generation since the Atari 2600 and the only brand that's given me dead controller problems is PlayStation.That's understandable. Sounds like my experience with xbox360. RROD, sent it to get repaired via MS only to crap out again two weeks later, MS is a trash company to me ever since.
I am pretty careful with them and my kids weren't old enough to play the PS3 so rule them out of the equation there.
Hell, all of my portables (from my original Gameboy onwards) still work except for the PSP which died because the shitty battery pack swelled and almost exploded.
The common denominator here is Sony. Even my old Mega Drive shit still works.
I still think RE1 should be the next remake btw.
I still think RE1 should be the next remake btw.As much of a classic it is, need to see love elsewhere, like Dino Crisis or Onimusha or Power Stone, or even Dragon's Dogma 1 :D
Come on fam with that captured on PS5 shit, I played a reasonable amount of the base game and it looked no where near that good graphically :dogeThe dlc is PS5 only. They claim they're taking full advantage of it this time, so who knows.
(not even saying it ddint look hot either)

This looks pretty spectacular so far.
FF16 looks like generic trash.What kind of fucken moron has a dmc avatar and watches that trailer, then produces this opinion.
That's what passes as final fantasy these days?
No turn based battles?
No parties?
Da fuq?
:ufup This looks hella better and more interesting than FFXV by a country mile. No question.
I thought the Summon battles would just be flashy QTE's, but they're much more than that. Oddly enough, getting Nier:A vibes from those battles; them drip feeding us various gameplay elements like shooters and fighters into the mix. Looks pretty damn fun... Like actually playing the absurdity of Advent Children fights.
And for the babies that want menu driven combat, they offered a casual/easy mode where the moves get carried out for you while you just input commands. FFVIIR did the same thing, but no one in their right mind played it like that, because why would you? :ryker
Calling it now though... the dog is totally gonna die. :doge
But doesn't SE already have plenty of those? Octopath Traveler 2 just came out and plays like that, no?:ufup This looks hella better and more interesting than FFXV by a country mile. No question.

Im not asking for a baby mode, id rather play a harder rpg where decisions have consequences.

I guess I'm ok with FF going this direction... Coming from a hardcore Sega background, I'm now numb to a beloved RPG go the action route.. :trumps

I'll get it day one but it doesn't get my juices flowing like a FF usually does :doge
I had no idea the Horizon expansion was out in 3 days.Yeah, even though I'm actually wanting to play FFXVI, Zelda takes priority over all, and God only knows how long it'll take me to playthrough it. I've only done like 40% of Horizon 2 also. Just digging myself deeper and deeper into backlogs. :stahp
Don't got time for this with Zelda coming.
Spiderman PS5 stand alone version, and/or $10 upgrade finally coming this month. Cripes almighty, Sony.. took you long enough.
I'm not even sure why I kinda want a spidey game. :lol :doge My comic book character likes have plummeted to zilch of late. I'd like to blame Didney. :hmphSpiderman PS5 stand alone version, and/or $10 upgrade finally coming this month. Cripes almighty, Sony.. took you long enough.
Get this on your PC. It will run better. :doge
The thing about these rumours I don't get... did they somehow miss that Silent Hill is already real and it got a very clear plan for the IP for the upcoming years? :doge Or am I missing something?They're saying SH2R being 1 of the 3 games. :yeshrug
The show will run a bit over an hour, focusing on PS5 and PS VR2 games in development from top studios from around the world. Expect a glimpse at several new creations from PlayStation Studios, as well as spellbinding games from our third-party partners and indie creators.
I feel bad for Sony Ponies that are getting excited over exclusives that are coming from a publisher that’s only released pachinko games and ports for the last five years.
Phantom Blade is probably one of those Chinese/Korean games that are nothing more than a cool trailer and end up being vapor ware.:stahp
Pretty poor showing so far imo, are they getting the shit out of the way before the hot stuff?thank you :rejoice
I was out having surgery and bleeding from multiple directions rn,Aside from Indie stuff like sequels to "Journey" and "Gris" the highlights so far are great new trailers for Alan Wake II and Assassins Creed as well as a teaser for Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake and Dragons Dogma II gameplay.
Did they actually announce any new interesting games? And by new I do not count remakes/ports.
MGS4 eternally PS3 exclusive.

PS5 is one of the ugliest consoles ever made. Not sure where this idea of Sony knowing hardware design comes from. Compared to actual nice hardware design it looks like something designed by a 45 year old man with the aesthetic sense of a teenager.

I love that the official way to lay it horizontally has it at an angle and it’ll fall off the stand if you tap it. Also love that they made it white to sell skins.
The streaming device looks laughably bad. At least PSVR2 won’t be the worst selling Sony hardware this year.
Wait, Marathon is a f2p Tarkov clone ???
:neogaf
That decision actually makes me upset. Have an emotional response whenever I move the console. When I put in a secondary ssd, nearly went to grab a hot glue gun and fix it once and for all. Now there’s the option to wirelessly update the controller. Before when you had to plug in a cable, it’d fall off the stand. From the small pressure of inserting the usb c end. Why.
How is it a tarkov clone when its only the mode itself thats in common. Supposedly not even pve. So in fact nothing like Tarkov.
Or is every shooter a Doom clone still?
Also Tarkov is fucking ass these days.
Isn't that just one of those 1000 in 1 game consoles that dude found on alibaba?It's probably legit because it still looks dumb. :doge

It's really assuring the PS5 slim doesn't look like a complete piece of shit like the OG. I'll get one.Even though it's improved some, it's still pretty shitty of them to boost the price $50 compared ot the launch version. The launch digi version was $400. But yeah, a smaller one would be nice with the option for a disc drive.

That thing was such a magical slit.
Hmmmmyesss it's a PS2 and it's tiny. :bettyThat thing was such a magical slit.
:beavis
I remember that- we were hyped to get it for basically no reason! :lol I got it and was immediately hit with the fact that I couldn't play Japanese games on it using the converters available at the time. Ended up getting one chipped that's still sitting in my closet- they never did come anywhere near close to shrinking down hardware like that again.
Spider-man 2 is gud. Better than SM1 or Miles.
I don't think it is GOTY worthy in a year like 2023 but the traversal is a lot of fun. Finally have a game that outdoes Prototype in that department.
Arkham Asylum is still the GOAT but I think this is now the #2 best super hero game of all time. 8)
I'm about 25% in and the praise it's getting I get it and don't get it :dogeWhat was your last main mission?
But everything is so shallow and repetitive, especially the combat which doesn't feel any better than the previous two games
Antitrop said it doesnt have the humor of the first gameThe beginning is mostly lighthearted when it comes to Peter and he still has his corny one-liners but the overall tone is much darker and serious. It was a tonal change based on the plot.

I thought the start of the game was very slow. I would have given it like a 7/10 after 8 hours. The story and combat pick up A LOT after a certain point. The boss fights are pretty challenging on Spectacular.
Last main mission I did was coney island stuff.Oh yeah, things will start to escalate. The 2nd and 3rd acts are a lot better imo.
The new PS5 model will reportedly require an Internet connection to use the disc drive. Unsure if it's just for first time set up or if it's always needed.
I mean y'all think it's going to suddenly look like a PS2? It's just a smaller form PS5 zzz
I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't ship many more than 10k units worldwide tho.Probably. They're saying it's due to scalpers. :doge

Apparently sold 5.7k in Spain on launch week. Almost as much as Switch. And almost 3x XboxS/X :lol

:phil Jiggle physics not yet nerfed by Sony
:lol Funny how Korean devs, from my perspective, are picking up the reins that Japan trailblazed over 20 years ago with character design, and probably gameplay too. Still, it's better than alot of western styles. And with the theme and story of what this game supposedly is, feels fitting that they should be "flawless" and "perfect", so to speak.https://youtu.be/V6XYHiBxkvk?si=TCU5bLe9cEA1aSYx

The male character looks like he walked out of Death Stranding, the female character looks like she had an accident in a doily shop on her way to a fetish club.

Tried out Stellar Blade demo, but only the first intro part. This game seems pretty damn solid so far. No janks, just yanks.
