No point in buying a game for a console I can't get because of all the (insert 1000 words that could all individually get me banned for life) scalpers.
@suikoden
Not entirely. The One X version has a mode that runs even better, and with higher res on Series X, and uses a different setting than any other console version, which has noticably more npc's and vehicles. I bet it would be super simple to implement the same features on PS5.
To sum it up, it was basically "we have great stuff coming...eventually. Everything else is pushed back. Good night"
Pushsquare has lately turned into a kindergarten for fanboys who just can not tolerate anything but praise for everything Playstation. It's like they expect...nay...demand, that every article be 100% positive, lest they fetch the torches and pitchforks.
Edit - And I called the mediocrity of the show a good while before it went down (just to assert my superiority)
Some boring chit chat about an anime based game, then some talk about vrr being added in a future update. Then a lot about deathloop. Some brief trailers for GoW and GT7. Then a bit about Kena or what's it called, and finally a quick GTA trailer.
The End
I haven't paid full price for a game since Horizon. I think I bought maybe 10 games at full price, out of 250 or so. I don't feel like doing it out of sympathy. I know too little about the cost of games vs Hollywood movies, but I simply wouldn't be able to afford my gaming hobby on the scale that I do, if I paid full price. I guess one could argue that people like me drive costs up, but there you go. Second hand for me.
@cali_kush70
Well,I get where you're coming from. But it has nothing to do with this particular situation of someone lashing out at everyone who has the slightest disapproval of anything Sony does. I am a Sony fan too, but that doesn't take away my right to have an informed opinion, like I'm some heretic who should be burned at the stake. I have seen no one in this section claim Sony is dead, yet this person claims it's all he hears people say. And that rethoric is then applauded by other blind followers who refuse the fact that their preferred company is capable of making bad decisions.
@Col_McCafferty
All you've done is conclude that any criticism directed at Sony is wrong and equals claiming that Sony is dead, even though no one has said that. You liken being an informed consumer to an almost personal attack against you yourself. I'll reserve my right to spend my money how and where I see fit, no matter how proud you are of your own lack of objectivity.
@Col_McCafferty
Oh, please. What does it mean? Do you remeber how Sony handled the PS4 launch pr? All about being pro consumer, as opposed to M$ who effed it up so bad they had to spend an entire gen doing damage control. What we're already seeing so early on in this gen is a whole different strategy. Next to no communication, $70 games on PS5 and a general sense they're willing to squeeze every single cent and gram of goodwill out of their loyal fans.
@Col_McCafferty There's a difference between spelling DOOM and simply not approving of their new business strategies. Sony were much more transparent and pro consumer through the PS4 gen. Being on top has made them arrogant. And it's not the first time either. I'm still on the blue team, but that doesn't make me blind to these recent changes. Jim Ryan doesn't seem in touch with the community the way Shawn did. Not even close.
I think he made the right choice. I don't know how much corporate power Hermen Hulst really has, but between him and, of course, Jim Ryan, it feels like it's already a whole different operation, and unfortunately not in a particularly good way 😔
I will honestly not be surprised if the next gen patch doesn't release till fall 2022. I loved these guys, but ultimately my personal goodwill has limits too. Jeeez. What an epic fall from grace.
How about just writing an article when they spill the beans? I love this site, but drip feeding info on GTA V? Doesn't it come across as a bit click bait-y, or is it just me? I assure you guys I mean no disrespect!!
@Floki
It's actually not too bad 🙂 it runs at flawless 60fps, and unreal engine has excellent AA, so it really looks quite nice. You shouldn't pass up on it just because it's "only" 1080p 🙂
@Futureshark
Oh...so a very British version of whining?
Then you can no longer say "do you want cheese with that whine?"
Then how about "do you want hot sauce with that whinge?" 😂
Or is the pronunciation closer to that of "wrench"?
@SilkySmile89 How would it ever have a lower center of gravity than a flat, square box that requires no weird stand? If the PS5 is a Porsche, then the PS4 is a go kart. Same can be said about performance comparisons though 😅
@Mole17 Speaking of taken. I took mine across the Atlantic, all the way to L.A once. I even managed to score a few trophies at an altitude of 11km 😄
The lack of a proper PS5 patch for this game is especially disappointing because the game has terrible draw distance, even on PS4 pro. It is to this day, the only AAA game I just couldn't get myself to play just because it was too ugly.
I don't know. There are all these exciting games I want to play, but it's a bit hard for me to feel any sort of hype for games that are on a platform I can't get. I still haven't seen one single PS5 in real life. It might as well just be a myth.
@OmegaStriver @OmegaStriver From scalpers? I haven't been able to find one online or in stores in Scandinavia since launch. And how is Hood a good reason why you were able to get two?
As an owner of PS3 and Vita that stiil both are being used, I love this. And I think it's good for Jim Ryan, whom I believe can use a bit of positive publicity.
@thefourfoldroot Good point! I never considered how few VR games were actually free with PS+ Maybe it should have been considered it's own platform in that regard? I don't know. I just thought 3 was a bit much, the installbase considered.

Nope. Criticising Pushsquare is fine. It's just odd how it only happens when they are critical of playstation.

So you sold a card better than a 1070 before you even had a replacement? Why? For the money?
Re: Development Takes Off on a New Ace Combat Game

You certainly don't need that to run it. I should even think a 1070 would run it at 4k60
Re: Development Takes Off on a New Ace Combat Game
