My only concern is how big the main game is and how much is tied in their online mode. We know the game is being built around their online mode. I mean why wouldn't it be? That's their biggest source of income for the game. I think there is going to be serious and seamless connection between on and offline games.

@Plankton-Warrior can you please specifically explain how this one is DEI? Also explain how must a character look like to avoid being labeled as dei?

Jack in Mass effect is my favorite character. So I am absolutely okay with this character.

This is why scores don't matter. Everybody keeps saying "but other sites gave it a 9". The important thing is what they say. What pure Xbox said about the game makes me understand why they didnt enjoy it. I can understand debating the reason for the score but only fools debate the actual scores.

I can't believe we are STILL having this conversation about watching vs playing video games. Almost exactly 10 years ago (Dec 3, 2014) a South episode, #REHASH (s18 ep9), came out and one plotline was exactly about this. (Kyle's little brother would rather watch than play games)

How have we not moved on in 10 years and this is still a thing to talk about? 🤔

Wow. Am I the only one who doesn't care about the race or gender of characters and just enjoy games based on how fun the gameplay is?

@DonJorginho yeah. This is why I never listen to the opinion of reviewers in if a game is good or not and NEVER care about scores. I read / watch reviews to get a list of pros / cons and detailed explanations of game mechanics or game features. Because, like you, I liked games many have not. If a game is good or is subjective. Sometimes other people's pros are my cons.

This is why I never understand why people look at scores and get excited "they gave it a 4/4“. So? Even in this review bloated side quests are a con, but I personally enjoy that.

Just stop making hardware and focus on making games for all the systems out there.

I may be an old school player from the Atari era but I have gone 100% digital since PS4 days. I don't buy day one, I never preorder, and wait for great sales months later or even a year later. When I finish a game I never go back to play it again years later because I always have a massive backlog of new to me games I want to play. I know I'm a tiny minority, but that's just how I roll now.

And you just know every episode will have a flashback that will ofcourse relate to the current teaching of his kid.

Streamers are why the early pass is a hit. If you are a game streamer, paying that extra money could literally make you a lot of money by upping your visibility because there much less competition for viewers. If I was a streamer I'd definitely buy it.

It seems disingenuous to use R&C as an example of why the a Pro is a waste of money. You can't look at a massively optimized game as a representative of the entire library. Infact I'd say games like R&C are a tiny minority optimized games.

And no the pro won't make devs lazy. The pro will be a tiny minority of ps5 sales. Games can't be designed for just the pro. I'd say it will have no impact on how a company optimizes their games for the base ps5.

But lets face it, we all know GTA 6 will be the real showcase of what the pro can offer.

Take the game engine, scrap everything that is concord and start again. And have a few new IP game in 2 years tops.

I love this idea but I live in an apt with constant noice from neighbors, construction or street sounds. I wouldn't last more than 5 minutes at a time.

I'll take "Things I'll never notice while playing for $100" Alex.

I don't remember any of those answers. Been so long. Id have to watch some recap videos.

None of the driving scenes showed interface graphics and even had a skip scene button as if cutscenes. So doesn't look like driving is a big part of it. So not really GTA like at all. I didn't really anything else about it so dunno.

Where's my Astro Bot remaster? 😡

This is rightfully deserved because if you watch the video is a big difference between watching a game and playing a game. When you're watching the game and these videos you can pay attention to whatever you want.

For example look at the ratchet & clank showed where you can see the things in the background look sharper. That's fine if you're just standing around doing nothing in the game but if you're actually playing you're not going to notice this.

That's one thing I noticed long ago when it comes to video games that you first start playing and you stop and you move around go wow this is gorgeous and amazing. But once you really start playing you don't notice those little details you just get the overall feeling of this is beautiful not look at the sharpness of the leaves in the background.

Is this going to be another case of "if you zoom in 200% you can see how jaggy the leaf looks" kind of thing?

Serious question. But what exactly is new inside that warrants the price hike? All new more expensive chips?

Since no drive it should be the same price as the original ps5 with a drive.

I thought the whole benefit to them for having a cheaper driveless system is that people buy games online through them and that means less hardcopies being resold second hand. But this is more expensive and driveless and I just can't see the value of it for me.

I was waiting for the ps5 pro to jump into the PlayStation world again but I think I'll either spend less and get original discless or maybe just spend more and go PC instead. I'm not sure. 🤔

First concord now this. Who is running Sony who think people have so much money to spend.

How about an upgraded ps camera for streamers. Or at least allow any camera.

I live in Hong Kong and watched a few playthroughs. Hong Kong doesn't feel right here. They have key recognizable things but so clean, sterilized and bland it doesn't feel even close. So dead and empty like during a typhoon.

I enjoyed it on mobile. Perfect for quick sessions on the go. But it's just not a game I'd enjoy sitting on my couch on a big screen. My mobile gaming and console gaming experiences are very different.

Stuff like this is only going to push developers and big companies like Sony into the "mobile game design" even faster. Despite what we here think, those games take so little effort and make so much money it's not even funny.

Why make an AAA game when a simple money loop mobile style game can make 10x as much money with a fraction of the design cost.

But can you blame them? Monopoly Go made 3 billion dollars in a year(ofcourse they spent crazy money marketing). But so many games easily cover their costs with the high turnover mobile design. What company wouldn't want that kind of money? Simply put the risk vs reward scale has changed.

Not interested in playing without 3rd ppov.

I have no interest as it's 1st person pov. When you use an iconic character I want to see them in the game, not just in some cutscene.

If it was intended for PC from the start those features wouldn't be disabled.

Honestly, I can't remember the last time I bought a game upon release. I've been burned so many times in the past that I now never preorder games and wait a couple months or longer for patching before buying.

@ShogunRok I never played the original so how is the difficulty on this game? Is it a singular hard test your abilities difficult game or are there difficulty options we can select?

@LiamCroft This review conclusion confuses me. "Pro: satisfying survival horror gameplay" "Con: not very scary whatsoever".

How can satisfying horror not be scary? Sounds like it should be just satisfying survival gameplay.

One of the leaks not mentioned above is a new R&C for 2029. Is this a sign of a PS6 that year? 🤔

I skipped the original ps4 but jumped in on the ps4 pro to buy it. So I skipped the ps5 and I've been waiting till ps5 pro to buy as well. I'm looking forward to it.

I have to believe they learned their lesson and won't over hype then not deliver at launch. They won't get a second chance if it launches in the same state nms did compared to hype.

I'm expecting this to be dang close if not exactly like this. 30fps on ps5, 60fps on ps5pro.

Ok silly question, by why does it have to be about "this won't convince people to buy a ps5"? Why can't it be a "these great games are coming to the ps5, so to all you current owners, look at all the fun games you will soon play!"

Welcome to politics in the USA. No matter which side it is, both ONLY listen to their big money donors, not the people they represent.

Exactly what I said in last post and fears realized. I'm sure we will see the Mandalorian driving the batmobile for the right price.

I just want a new Lego City Undercover.

There are so many games on PS5 I want to play that even if that number was cut in half I wouldn't have time to play them all. So the loss of games like this doesn't bother me at all.

This has the potential to be great or a non stop cash grab of micro transactions of new parts to buy. Buy and mix parts from Starwars to Marvel/DC to create the ultimate vehicle. Not to mention trademark character figurines. Want the Mandalorian in Tim Burton's Batmobile? Sure but it'll cost ya.

They peaked at Arkham Asylum and I have 'steadily' liked each game they made less and less since then.

Are there any arcadey racing games planned for vr2? I'm just not into realistic sims. A burnout maybe?

I guess they are happy to tell all the hard working developers "we could add an easy mode, make a lot more sales, and pay you even more money because you deserve it for all your hard work. However, the ego of some baby gamers who need to prove how cool they are is more important than you are."

In this time when people are suffering why not make more money for your team? If you refuse to play a game because of an OPTIONAL game mode, well then honestly you are an idiot.

You mean we now have to base which system is better solely on games??? That's crazy talk.

I'm guessing a psvr2 is coming and they want to make sure you get the new tech to use it instead of using old cheaper tech. 2 years we'll see a new one I'd guess.

I don't care how anybody looks, that's the easy part. My issues is I couldn't care less because I have 0 interest in a young Nathan. It's like young Indiana Jones, I'm simply not interested in a young version of a known older character.

I just want a "archive" drive. Give me a slower 2TB drive and a nice clean interface to swap them. Pick a game and select "archive" and it moves to the slow big drive but it's not playable there. Then click "restore" to move it back to the fast SSD.

I thought that stand was pretty slick. And with the outside so easily removable there will be tons of colors and designs to choose from on the net.
