@species I don't have a problem with different generations that's inevitable. But this mid cycle upgrade crap doesn't sit well with me. If PS6 is going to be expensive out the gate. Then a mid cycle upgrade is taking the p**s. The whole idea of consoles was an investment for 5 to 7 years. It seems Sony want an IPhone business model in the console space, sorry but not for me.
Nothing to be proud of in my opinion, if the future Is downloads & your happy that, your games have no value but stuck on a hard drive more fool you. If downloads were considerably cheaper than on physical it might be more appealing.
Besides little Nightmares 3, most of what was shown was the usual copy & paste stuff. Yes some look great in video form, but how these titles actually perform & deliver is another matter.
Well the ends coming for me then, I won't be buying downloads completely. What's the biggest joke is the digital & physical versions are the same price mostly lol. Unless you buy second hand from CEX etc... but we all know that's what they really want to stop. So basically when you buy a digital copy its worthless, just stuck on your hard drive. Just max profit for Sony & devs.
This game is absolutely amazing, the weather effects are still unbeaten. Everything thing about it is class. Evolution studios had serious talent for sure, it's about damn time Sony remastered the Motorstorm series. Something actually worthy of a remaster.
Again all this hype & ridiculous price over this pro model. When PS6 is released the PS5 pro will be forgot about. Much like PS4 pro. That's why I'm happy with the base model.
VR sickness is VR sickness, what a load of bollocks. I suffer pretty bad with it, its basically your brain saying your moving but your not moving. FPS games totally mess me up.
Because it's the lead platform, obviously. Microsoft seem to forget that back in the PS3/360 era. The 360 was mostly the lead platform, that's why a lot of the 3rd party games sucked on PS3 compared to 360.
Got to laugh at microsoft sales, that's tanking lol. And Greed from Sony is showing. It's about time the rest of World followed. The prices for pro & the anniversary edition are ridiculous.
Yeah a great investment until PS6 lol. Personally if Sony want to go this hybrid pc/ mid cycle upgrade nonsense. Then why not design a console that has modular upgrades. I could stomach buying a plug in that gives the console more juice for a few years.
@nedbvai so what games do you play that make you feel a big man lol. Aren't we all big kids who play videogames. I love gaming Astrobot is definitely my game of the year. Regardless of your shallow opinion.
Oh I expect it's a remaster for PS5 pro, to try & justify the ridiculous price. No doubt throw some ray tracing in to keep the early adopters happy lol.
@OldGamer999 yep that's why things won't change. The idiots keep buying the same ***** over & over again. And Sony especially are loving it, personally they need a reality check. PS5 pro is yet another example of corporate greed but no doubt some will swallow.
God here we go again, don't support a device they totally overpriced( I'm a mug who bought one) then to kick us early adopters in the balls. I know let's make a wireless version FFS I hope this is fake news.
@Zeke68 exactly that, for me as a gamer & many I'm sure the appeal of a console is having that great gaming box, devs pushing it to the max. Five or six years of great gaming, affordable hardware. It's been like this since Atari. If Sony want this route make it modular a plug in upgrade mid cycle
The thing that gets me with this price is some mug will buy it. After a year or two tops, the thing will be worthless & found in CEX when the next big thing arrives. If I'm expected to shell out 700 quid or more I want more than 3 years out of this thing. Sony just don't get it, the console space & consumers are different to the pc crowd.
Another big waste of money I spent on VR2!! F**K PS5 pro. Its games that are required on the headset. It's pretty obvious they don't give a ***** about there own product anyway. Do they seriously think I'm going to spend £699 on another PS5 lol 😆
Whoopee doo, £699 no thanks, my original PS5 is more than good enough. Astrobot looks stunning that's good enough for me. This mid cycle upgrade crap needs to stop. The whole purpose of previous gens was maxing out the tech you had. Same should apply. PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 all pushed to the limits.
Yes it's official, they have lost there F**king minds at Sony. VR2 was/is way to expensive, now this 😆 I expected over 500quid & that's to much. What happened to the traditional console business model. One system. Affordable, powerful, 5 to 6 years. This mid cycle upgrade is a piss take. So if they can charge this much for a slight refresh, how much will PS6 cost!! Are they pushing gamers to PC may as well be.
Amazing game needs to sell millions, I know it won't because most don't know quality when it hits them in the face. Because it's not open world crafting nonsense it won't sell as well. Unfortunately that's the demographic of so called gamers nowadays.
And I rest my case, pure videogaming right here. No ***** openworld, crafting, soulslike, roguelite. Just incredible level design. Playability, visuals, audio. And yes it gets a 10/10 wake up Sony, not all of us want the above genres I mentioned above this proves it.
