Re: Crummy Classic Sports Games Compiled in Accolade Sports Collection on PS5, PS4

Wow, I remember playing a fair amount of Hardball! on the Amiga 500 back in the day. The catcher’s mitt moved independent of his body when placing pitches and singles down the line all animated the same way. Not exactly The Show type sim we have these days but jolly good fun 40 years ago. I don’t remember the sequel. Now, EA needs to bring back One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird!

Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November

For $700, not only should it include a disc drive, but one that can play discs from every PlayStation generation (PS1-PS5). That, in addition to the upgraded specs announced. I realize it’s a digital world nowadays, but I have 30 years worth of physical games that would likely see more action if there was an all-in-one console solution for playing them. I’m all for the latest and greatest tech but it would be nice to have the option to revisit simpler times when the mood strikes. Astro Bot seems to get it. Maybe he should be running the show.

Re: PlayStation Fans Are Totally Torn Over PS5 Pro

I’m probably in the minority here, but a great value-add feature for me would be full physical disc backward compatibility going all the way back to the PS1 (my original PS3 fat won’t live forever). I have amassed a sizable collection of disc-based games in nearly 30 years of supporting the PlayStation brand. I upgraded to a PS4 Pro when it was released to go along with my new 4K TV because that was a legitimate reason at the time (although I think Sony dropped the ball by not including a UHD disc player in that console). I digress. The improved specs of a PS5 Pro could be a less compelling reason this time around which is why I think Sony should sweeten the deal in other ways such as full physical disc BC, additional USB-C ports, larger SSD, etc. One PS to rule them all!
