The one with the drive. I have a lot of physical games. Probably around 80 or something. Besides, I would love the opportunity to buy 4K blu ray movies. I just hope this time they also support audio cd's like they did on PS3. That thing can even rip cd's and store them on the hdd. Great, because I still use an mp3 player, and I have a whole lot of music on cd. Generally I just have so much stuff on physical media that it would be dumb of me to opt for the digital version, but I totally understand why some people do!
@Ridwaano
And I'm saying it's wrong. I guarantee you Nvme drives such as the one found inside the PS5 gets MUCH hotter than an HDD. I ask again. Have you ever seen an HDD with a heatsink?
Besides, the drive in the picture is a sata SSD. Big difference, as it's a lot slower than an Nvme
@Ridwaano Wrong! The type of SSD in the PS5 gets very hot! Most have their own heatsink, many even have their own fan. By your logic, a cpu and a gpu wouldn't run hot either, because they don't have any moving parts.
Yeah...I just can't get hyped for this game. I really enjoyed the general atmosphere of the first, and the second was my first plat. But this just hasn't got anything enticing for me, and I think the setting is bad.
Suuuure! After how those incompetent morons and their lame parent company really screwed me over with Shadow Warrior 2, I'm not trusting either of those guys again.
I think they should have given it a bit of fresh paint, like higher detail meshes and better textures. That would already make a huge difference. Either that or sell it at half the price it is now
I thought the exact same thing. Very GTA 😅 she mentioned that we'll get more info on the the next gen version soon. Hopefully on the next episode. I'll just carry on keeping my hopes up.
@TooBarFoo Well, they've stayed already that the game will be enhanced on next gen consoles from day one, but a more extensive patch will follow in 2021
"A later upgrade to Cyberpunk 2077, taking full advantage of the next-gen hardware, will be available for free." - cool story. When? Can we at least have a release window?
@Nomnom
Wrong. They just have to be playable on ps5 through backwards compatibility, meaning they'll not be ps5 versions, they'll just be ps4 games running on ps5.
I really enjoyed the first game. This looks even better. I'm amazed at the draw distance and foliage density in the trailer. Particle effects and volumetric clouds too! It all really does look next gen
@AdamNovice All I'm saying is, if it was early 2021it would have stated so during the reveal. "Targeting" means they hope to get it out during 2021. If it was early 2021, they'd be pretty confident by now that they'd be able to make that deadline
@Octane Mark your words? If it was early 2021, they'd already let us know. "Aiming for 2021" means "2021 if everything goes according to plan, and it's not pushed back to 2022"
Let's see how bad it is. If it's expensive, more people might be reluctant to jump on right away, meaning those that really want one has a better chance of getting their hands on one
@Agramonte No, I mean if you in an actual store and want to buy something. It might say $4.99. But when you have to pay, it's like $5.68 or something. That, to me, seems so stupid.
@Tharsman
Sooo, not one single AAA first party title confirmed at this point? Except for a glorified expansion and a sports title? Wow 😐 that's...really disappointing. I'm pretty sure I'll get one during launch week, just for games like Cyberpunk and maybe even Ghost of Tsushima depending on what upgrades they bring, but this is still (at this point) a really weak launch lineup
Looks like the only game confirmed as an actual launch title (not just "holiday 2020") is that Astrobot game.
@get2sammyb
I'm sorry to be a bit off topic, but I noticed Spider-man was a holiday 2020 release. I was really tired and forgot to keep track. What else was actually launch titles?
I wonder what side of the disc is up, because the shape of the drive, when the console is standing upright, suggests that the upper side of the disc points right while the bottom points left, but that would mean that the bottom side of the disc points up when the console is placed horizontally
@TooBarFoo
Wow. Could you do a worse job hiding your agenda? 😂
And get you facts straight. It's 10,28 tflops. On top of that, it appears obvious that you have no idea what to make of the "'boost clock" situation. Nothing is overclocked. Look into AMD smart shift. You will learn something.
I think Far Cry 5 is a much better game than 3. Far Cry 5 kept me wanting to be a part of the game world. 3 is just so unbearably samey. It's like 3 is a failed attempt at modernizing Far Cry 1
@Grimwood
I guarantee you I can tell the difference. I'm about 9 feet from a 65" and I can easily tell if it's 4K or 1080p. There can be close to 4k res that's hard to tell from true 4k, but if you watch 4k and then drop it to 1080p you're gonna see the difference immediately.
@Zeke68 so, does surround sound improve your image quality, or are you just trying to squeeze some stealth bragging in there? 😂
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Well, I know it's entitled because you don't pay for the service push square provides. But I still feel like a long time fan who's turning into a dissatisfied customer. Even for a free product there can be brand loyalty. And trying to fix a problem by lowering your standard and sacrificing quality is not a great solution. Sure it takes more work to deliver in times like these, but I believe that fixing an increasingly poor reputation takes even more work.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L I believe it's because people used to enjoy it, but feel that the standard has dropped very suddenly. I have felt a bit let down as of late too. I don't enjoy it as much anymore. I've been a member for 5 years. Should I really just p!ss off the moment I begin to feel like things have changed for the worse?
@LiamCroft
Well, this article har already been published. Now it's suddenly up there as the very latest news again. And all it said was "a statement has been made private". Maybe it's just me, but it made me feel a bit dumb for clicking, thinking there was some actual news in there. Don't get me wrong, I generally really like this site and have been a member for 5 years. And I knoooooow everyone's a critic these days. I just don't get why I'm presented with this as "news". It's an update to previously published stuff. Does it go to the top of the pile every time every little detail is updated?
So a story about how the original story is no longer a story. And I clicked on it. You guys love polls. How about one where you try to uncover how many think this site is getting a bit too clickbaity?
@YeoSprings The original was awesome back in the day on PC. I'd have been happy with an overhaul, like improved draw distance, proper 16:9 aspect ratio, som better textures and bla bla bla. I have a hard time seeing them mess this up. I might bet well end up disappointed, but I'm not worried
