So both consoles work similarly as everybody expected. Good. Only thing giving me shivers is that Xbox Series S performance. I was looking at that as my second gaming machine (game pass stick.. you know..) but if that is how launch titles are looking.. might be a hard pass.
This would have been perfect for PS Plus Collection (or future Plus monthly addition). The whole marketing campaign could have been built around that, giving gamers tools to create elaborate scenarios/content themselves..
Seems like all technical problems mentioned in review are a product of cross-gen development and shouldn't really exist on PS5.
What will be interesting is if they will exist on Series S. 😛
PS Now is becoming a far better service for me compared to Plus (predominantly a SP gamer). It's hard to understand why Sony is still insisting on not packaging services together as a single offering..
Sony handled this fair, which typically means poorly in today's world. Instead of claiming "full backward compatibility" as MS does, they came out with majority claim, increasing it to 99%.. when in fact there are more PS4 compatible games then there are Xbox One games working without any issues on next gen. It seems to be a pattern forming this gen, where Sony is fully transparent about the actual state of things and challenges, while MS takes a bombastic approach that is then scaled down gradually. So far MS strategy has been working out better. :/
Am I the only person who can't see/add Trine 4 and Rad? I see the other 3 games, but these 2 I can only see in banner image, but can't find them in PS Now games list. I'm using US based PS Now account.
What confuses me is these comparisons between Series S and Digital edition. When a comparison should be Digital edition vs Series X. If you are buying digitally anyway, that is 100 USD less for same game quality. Realistically Series S is not really a contender, it's cheaper but far less powerful, it's Wii U of last generation.
Man, this show was really disappointing. Traditionally, Sony had stories, Microsoft had hardware power.. but this time around, MS had nothing (all games shown were looking like current gen, with plastic unpolished movement, poor lighting, etc..)
I so want this game to be good (but EA will find a way to ruin the fun anyway). EA UFC 3 was a great hard game with terrible greedy online mode.. mmmn pattern emerges EA
Recently I have revisited old UFC games (UFC 2010, EA UFC 1, and 2), and trust me, your memory of these games is far better than actuality. EA UFC 3 is a far superior game although not perfect. Hopefully, the evolution continues with EA UFC 4.
Great month, and that usually means bad month for people like me (who buy games while fresh). RoTR I already beat, NBA I don't care about.. Erica might be interesting though..
A genuinely good month in my book. Uncharted 4 I've got day one, it is one of the best games of the generation and everybody should have an opportunity to try it. Dirt rally 2.0 I had on my wishlist and in my cart a few times over last couple of months. Usually I only get two, maybe three car racing games per generation, so this solves that (already had Project cars and few other arcade racers from Plus).
Great month for those that don't have these games, but selfishly I hope it's false Played through both, and last few months I've owned at least one of PS+ monthly games.. I'm overdue a month of new games

Re: DIRT 5 PS5 Gameplay Video Details Next-Gen Enhancements
Dualsense should be a no-brainer for all driving games. I'm glad first next gen title is setting that as a standard, for others to follow.

Re: PS5 Games Won't Support PSVR, Says Sony
I'm not PSVR owner, but this is a disappointing news. Wouldn't expect it.. :/

Re: Here's Your First Look at Tom Holland As Nathan Drake in the Uncharted Movie
He's got the look down, I'll give him that. Hopefully movie is good, Uncharted franchise deserves it.
Re: Why Shadwen Won't Be Backwards Compatible on PS5
@Ggmate agreed. That teardown video was tech porn, though. I don't see a reality where that wouldn't have been a great hit!

Re: Don't Expect Star Wars: Squadrons to Get Any Post-Launch Content
If they provided tools for community to build their own maps, that would be old school. And I would love and support that model!

Re: PS Plus October 2020 PS4 Games Announced
So, worst NFS in recent history + 6/10 game? Disappointed
Re: Sony Confirms Spider-Man PS5 Remaster Is Not a Free Upgrade
Terrible look for Sony. I know people who purchased Spider-Man during last sale, for the sole purpose of waiting to play it on PS5 after upgrade..

Re: Mini Review: Bounty Battle - A Truly Terrible Attempt at Indie Smash Bros
One thing puzzling me about this game.. why doesn't anybody compare it to Brawlout? It seems to be a similar concept, just maybe done worse?
Re: PS Plus September 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Damn, if it's just a regular SFV... That's just sad attempt at trying to cash from Championship edition upgrades.
Re: Why Do the New EA Sports Covers Look Like That?
I don't care, I want gameplay not boxes and menus!
Re: Control Locks Free PS5 Upgrade Behind Ultimate Edition
Am I glad I've played this game through PS Now.. a greedy move that can only result in bad press and sales plummet.
