Tbh I saw this coming but I put off buying one until I had secured a Pro, by this time they'd all gone and haven't returned to stock since. I should've ordered one in advance in hindsight. My local Game store has told me stock is incoming on the 7th so there is still hope and perhaps all retailers will get stock on that day.

Won't be PSSR as that's done developer side not something you can just switch on. They've said 'select' PS4 games will have improved resolution so probably some sort of super sampling like the PS4 Pro had on a few older titles

FYI They are back in stock if anyone is still looking to get one

I mean these numbers aren't as bad as they seem. There are 33 million switch consoles sold in Japan compared to 5.9 million PS5 sold and yet the highest new game entry for switch only has 4000 more copies sold than Astro bot. Then you look at hardware and the PS4 has sold 7.9 million units in its lifetime in Japan and PS5 is sitting at 5.9 million already. Seems pretty good numbers to me. The only thing these low numbers tell me are Japanese are a lot less interested in video games than they used to be, most likely due to the rise in mobile game popularity over there.

I would be playing it but Game have not sent my pre order out 😡

If it was an exclusivity deal than both Game Science and Playstation would say so like normal exclusive deals, but neither have said so. Playstation did give resources to Game Science to help port it to PS5, now nobody knows if that was tech support or money so not sure if they had some kind of 'off the record' deal but that would be a first and very unusual. Looking at how heavy the game is on PC and PS5 I would reckon the Series S version would have to be scaled back quite considerably, I find it difficult to believe Game Science haven't had issues with the Series S version and are probably after the same kind of resources from Xbox as Playstation provided.

Some games take off some games flop, unfortunately that's the nature of the video games industry and the entertainment industry in general, every thing you create is a risk. It's good for Sony to have single player games and multiplayer games, just this one didn't hit well with gamers as it was a wrong choice of genre I feel.

EAFC 24 was free on playstation plus in May. How are so many people still buying it....?

It makes financial sense to put it on PS5 as I don't see it being the kind of game to make someone buy an Xbox or subscribe to GP just to play it. Just wish they'd done it as a third person game didn't like the look of the first person perspective.

@KundaliniRising333 It's an unreal engine game right? Surely they'd use TSR over FSR?

If there's no PS5 review codes going out I won't be pre ordering, not falling for the cyberpunk scam again

@MFTWrecks I just hope it has some kind of progression system attached to it like Vigor has with upgrading your base with the materials you extract. Otherwise it'll get old very fast.

@Moonmonkey Not sure what their plans are tbh, it maybe to get rid of old stock before they announce an updated model with different lenses for example, who knows. I don't see them pushing their own development teams to make software for it though, I think they will rely mostly on third party Devs still.

PS5 Pro In game Ray Tracing anyone? Nah probably not......

They can't even get PS2 emulation right, the upscaling is so weird. If they do PS3 don't expect much enhancements if any.

I was initially really excited for PSVR2 but when I saw the price of it I decided to wait until there was a bunch of games I really wanted for it. That has not happened yet....

I have mixed feeling about this years 'Summerfest' tbh. Playstation was lacking any big hitters, especially 1st party wise but I like that when they show 'in-engine CG' they tell you etc. Geoff's show got rid of the celebrities and gave the stage to actual Devs which was good but again no Games that really 'WOWed'. Xbox showed some cool looking games but not much was actual gameplay and no release dates for most. Saying all this though E3 had years like this and I don't think it will ever change. Some years are awesome and some are meh....

They will show it when they are ready to show it. Until then we will just have to wait.

Played it and completed it. Definitely will get it at some point, gameplay was really fun, souls like but more forgiving, will take some skill to master I feel. Visual fidelity is excellent, character models are really polished, didn't notice any drops in performance either (on balanced mode) which is really good considering a lot of releases lately. Also there's a boss challenge mode which will give it a bit of replay-ability. Really cool game.

I'm really into survival crafting games, add in a sci-fi theme and I'm there. Totally looking forward to seeing more of this

If that's the case why did he spend billions on Bethesda to make Starfield only on Xbox and PC. I mean he saved Playstation owners £70 in the end but still the hypocrisy here is astonishing.

@CharlieChooChoo Yea I remember playing Ninja Gaiden on PS3 and at the time I thought it was incredible. Since then though I feel their games have been a bit average visually but gameplay wise they have been really good so hopefully it's the same here.

I'm definitely interested in this, looks like it could be fun. Visually though it looks a bit bland, no where near the standard of Ghost of Tsushima, but Team Ninja have a history of this.

@__jamiie Can't see this happening unless Playstation get a cut of the subscription fee which wouldn't make financial sense for Xbox.

When Starfield was first rumoured I was really interested, then they made it exclusive to Xbox and pc which I don't have otherwise I'd have pre ordered it. Since it's release I've checked it out and saw it's not what I hoped it to be so wouldn't buy it now. I bet there is a lot of people who are the same as me, if they'd released on PS5 on launch they'd have had a lot more sales but doing it now feels like it's too late.

I enjoyed the original but a change to 3rd person looks like a lot of fun. Just hope it has enough variety of gameplay to keep us playing.

@Northern_munkey I enjoyed Gotham Knights too, don't know why it got such negative press. I mean performance was shaky and there were a few bugs admittedly, it was no Batman. But it was fun playing with a friend, had decent visuals not groundbreaking but still good and had a good story to it.

Played the alpha and it was enjoyable and had some funny lines from the characters although mostly from Harley. The main thing that I felt let it down was the controls. Every action was done by combining two buttons together and at times felt all over the place not entirely sure why they did it this way when a single button would have been fine. The combat and traversal was clumsy because of it and trying to counter attack was a nightmare as it'd lock on to the nearest enemy rather than the one you were facing. If they overhaul the controls and simplify some of the combat I think it would be an okay game, nothing special but there is some fun to be had there.

Hopefully it won't require much more work from Developers and mostly be automated. As making another version will just add to the already high cost and time it takes to make games these days.

While I agree he did some great work on the uncharted series and it followed on into The Last of Us series, there was a whole team working on those things. Doesn't seem right to give it to one person .

@Mikey856 Definitely would be a smoother experience. I believe that's how the PSP used to work with the PS3. Although doing it that way would confine you to only using it on the same connection as the PS5.

@Mikey856 Yea competitive multiplayer is not going to work well on a portal but I don't think that was it's intended use tbh

It has its place, especially for people who share a TV, I bet it will save a lot of arguments in some households. I can imagine it's profit margin is probably low but if people go out and buy the accessories for it and are spending more time gaming because of it they'll likely sell more games too.

If GTA 6 is a current gen only title which I'd imagine it is, once it's announced, a lot of people who have been sitting on the fence since the current gen launched will be buying PS5 or Series consoles. They will hit their target no problem once it's released.

Phil Spencer lied what a shocker.....

@Luigia Nice one 👍Looks great if you use remote play often.

@Luigia Available November 15, you can pre-order now.

I am hoping they give us a preview of their first party games they have in production. Maybe a big day one release on one of the PlayStation Plus tiers like MW3 and the release of proper emulation for the classic games on premium. Hopes aside let's be realistic, most likely it'll be a Spiderman 2 showcase.

They've needed proper emulation since they introduced the premium tier. At the moment the 'classics' emulation is poor. If they do it right with upped resolutions and performance, which is totally possible, if they put the work in, premium would be a very good offering. Let's hope the rumour is not only true but also high quality emulation

83% of votes on polls are from trolls it's a known fact. You only have to look at election results to see that....

@MFTWrecks I'd say as an educated guess that it will need the dongle for use with the PS5 and use Bluetooth for everything else

@Fyz306903 like I said if it's done correctly. They would have to get creative. Not holding much hope with it being Unisoft though, be most likely fetch quests with little to no background or story. Even in Odyssey, although some of the side stuff was really good, there was a fair few fetch quests too.

I spent about 150 hours on Odyssey and really enjoyed it, the side quests were generally quite fun and interesting. I don't see it as a bad thing if the side quests are worth your time doing, spending 200-300 hours in the Star Wars world sounds pretty awesome if it's done correctly.

Nixxes are the best out there for pc ports really quality stuff 👍

Yes it looks good and might end up looking better than Spiderman 2 but if they made Alan Wake a huge open world with no loading times would it look as good then? I think not.

It's been 4 years since Days Gone so it's possible we might see something. I enjoyed days gone despite the negativity it got, so I'm looking forward to seeing what they've got cooking.

His comments are a smack in the face to some of the awesome development teams Microsoft owns. If Microsoft stopped trying to convince people to lock into a DRM subscription ecosystem and concentrate on making amazing games more people would buy the games and buy the consoles, thus getting people into their ecosystem. His comments are baffling.

I've been really enjoying it so far, only played it co-op so far so can't say for the solo players, but it's really nice to have a polished game day one for once. Playing on PS5 I haven't incurred any crashes yet, performance is pretty much flawless only noticed a few very small hitches. Story is cool, some cheesy humour in the dialogue, the combat fun although not ground breaking it does what you'd want. The only fault I can find is the side missions don't flow very well when moving from area to area, you end up going back and forth to areas you explored previously. Although it doesn't do anything new and technically doesn't push any boundaries it's very well made and a lot of fun, especially in co-op. 9/10 for me.

Extra has been really good for some time. There is so many games I have played and want to play on there, just don't have the time at the moment to play them all. Premium on the other hand, although there are some good titles on there, I still feel they need to improve the emulation for the older games to make it a worthwhile service.

I just hope they don't get forced into a part 3 because of the recent hype before they have a good story to tell. I'm also hoping those old rumours about Naughty Dog working on a sci-fi game are true and that's what they went with
