I honestly can't tell the difference between 1440p upscaled and native 4k.
I'm not sure about that because UE5 seems demanding. Most games running on UE5 will probably run at 30-40fps. But I could be wrong about that.
I'd like the option to have ray tracing and 60fps and not have to choose one or the other. Mabey a PS5 Pro will fix that?
At the end of the day, I can't complain. For $500 the PS5 & Series X are much more capable than I could have imagined. A big upgrade from my PS4 Pro & Xbox One X, that's for sure...
Put my pre-order in this morning from Best Buy. Already have the Limited Edition Dualsense controller pre-ordered also. Now I just have to wait until Wednesday and avoid spoilers. My backlog will keep me busy until then.
I'll go with performance, high frame rate and VRR. 40fps is a nice option but 60fps unlocked is where it's at. I played The Last Of Us Part 1 at 1440p with VRR and 60fps uncapped frame rate with gyro aiming on my LG C1 OLED and it was glorious! Can't wait to play God Of War!
Still looks like fun to me and a smooth 60fps performance is a plus. My copy will be delivered today. It should hold me over until God of War Ragnarok releases next week.
I was expecting it to cost around $180-$200. So I'm not surprised. After finally getting an Elite Series 2 controller a few months ago, I can't go back to a regular Series X controller. It will probably be the same with the Dualsense. I've missed back buttons!
Figured this would come to PS5 also, since YS 8 is releasing next month. Already pre-ordered a physical copy of YS 8 and I'll do the same with this, especially since I missed out on the PS4 release of both games (have Switch versions)
I'll be double dipping on this for PS5 & Switch. Physical pre-orders are available on Play-Asia. I'll wait and see if Amazon gets it before I place an order.
Hopefully the detachable disc drive can be used with PS5's already out. If so, I'd buy one to use with my PS5, so I won't wear out my built in disc drive.
Guess I'll buy a physical copy of Kakarot for PS4, since it's only $20. I've had this game since release on Xbox and recently picked up a copy for Switch. I still haven't played it though...
Pre-ordered my physical copy a few weeks back and I like it so far. I never played the original, but I remember seeing it in stores back in the day. It's nothing groundbreaking, but a decent first person shooter that runs at a smooth 60fps on my PS5. I was surprised to see it includes 4-player split screen. Which is a plus for me. I can't wait to try out split screen deathmatch with a few friends one of these days...
I'm assuming it will be on Crunchyroll? If so, I'll definitely watch it. I'm hyped to play Nier Automata on Switch in October!
I didn't know Persona 4 & 5 had an anime. Added those to my watch list...
Bought the game last Christmas for $30 but I couldn't really get into it. Gyro controls included is great news! Now I have a reason give this game another shot! Hopefully more PS4/PS5 games will start to include gyro moving forward.
I'm sure this monitor is nice but I prefer to play my PS5/Series X/Switch on my 48" LG C1 OLED at my desk. Which cost me $800. After gaming on an OLED, I could never go back to an ips, LCD, or LED panel.
My copy arrived this morning. I purchased the standard edition from Best Buy for $39.99. Even though I have it downloaded on my PS5 already thru PS Plus Premium. Gotta have a physical copy for the collection. My sister wants to play it (she NEVER plays video games) so I'll gladly let her borrow it!
Looks like I'll be double dipping day 1. I loved RE Village on PS5 last year. Was thinking about buying it for Series X this time, but the Dualsense controller haptics and adaptive triggers are enough of a reason to buy the Gold edition for PS5. Plus i prefer to have my current gen games on a 4K blu-ray disc, instead of the standard Xbox One/Series X blu-ray.
I gave it a chance but couldn't get into it. Glad I got it on sale ($30) instead of full price. I'll probably go back and give it another shot. Does this update include gyro controls?
@huyi I'm probably in a better situation than most, since I work from home and my consoles are on my desk near me at all times. Plus I usually have free time throughout the day in between work to get a few gaming sessions in.
I agree, the rest of this year and next year are packed with games I'll be buying day 1. RE 4 & RE Village are kinda motivating me to get a PSVR2. But we will see.
To be fair, I upgraded to 90 days of premium for $15 to try it out. If I like it enough, I'll renew my subscription for another year...
@huyi Haha I'll try. It doesn't help that I recently upgraded to PS Plus premium. I already downloaded about 12 games that I'm interested in, and feel the need to complete those (Game Pass games included) before there removed from the subscription services. As a kid, I would have been amazed at so many different options of games to play at any given time. I'm thankful for it but sometimes I feel overwhelmed with so many choices lol.
@huyi True π€£π€£. I'll definitely have to take a break between games and play other things, or I'll be burned out lmao. I am almost done with Judgment 1, so I should get back on that soon!
@dschons Yeah, gyro aiming was added to TLOU Part 2 a few months after launch. I went back and played it again to get the Platinum and playing with gyro was glorious! Exactly lol, the first thing I did was upgrade the weapon sway fully in TLOU Part 1. I love RE7 but unfortunately I never played it in VR. I'm debating getting PSVR2 just to play RE4 & RE Village. I agree, gyro controls felt perfect in HFW. Hopefully more games will support gyro on PS5 because the list is so small compared to Switch.
That's funny, I just purchased this game from Best Buy for $20 a week or so ago. Now I see it back at full price, lol. Guess I should play it sooner than later, before it becomes a coaster ππ
I already played both games in 1080p at 120fps on my LG C1 OLED and it was a great experience. The gameplay was so smooth and it still looked good, even at 1080p. I still need to go back to Uncharted 4 to get some more trophies for the Platinum. This will give me another reason to check out the VRR update. I hope Naughty Dog added gyro aiming with this update as well π€.
@Meehanuk_1987 I felt the same way for a while. Playing with the Dualsense made my Series X controller and even the Switch Pro controller feel dated. After finally buying an Elite Series 2 controller, it made me want to play my Series X more, because of how comfortable and premium that controller feels. The 4 back buttons on the Elite Series 2 are an absolute game changer. Something I wish the Dualsense had. Even the new Dualsense Edge will only have 2 back buttons. I wish Sony would at least release a back button attachment for the Dualsense, like they did with the Dualshock 4.
@Meehanuk_1987 Collecting every color of a controller isn't something I would usually do, but I really like the Dualsense controller. It's my favorite controller of all time! My family/friends tell me I don't NEED that many Dualsense controllers and think it's a waste of money. But I'm a controller junkie, so I can't help it ππ.
Looks nice, and I love the color grey! I'll pre-order the controller and order the Starlight blue one, then I'll have all of the Dualsense controllers!
I don't understand why companies don't put $100 plus Collector's Edition games in a cardboard box when shipping them. I usually order my games from Best Buy, and all of my Collector's Edition games are shipped in boxes. Most recently, Made in Abyss Collector's Edition (yesterday) & TMNT Cowabunga Collection Collector's Edition (Tuesday). This seems to be a common thing with Amazon as well(using envelopes), smh it's such a shame to see Sony do the same thing.
I was thinking about waiting to order a Firefly Edition myself, and now I'm glad I just bought a standard copy instead.
I pre-ordered my copy, just waiting on UPS to deliver it. Even though I have the PS3 & PS4 versions, I couldn't resist getting the best console version available for one of my all time favorite games. Can't wait to play it tonight!
Seems like an easy and fun to get Platinum. I was happy to see no multiplayer trophies. No difficulty trophies makes it even easier. I'll still play through the game on grounded anyways, because I love TLOU so much. So hyped for this & Made in Abyss Collector's Edition tomorrow!
I'll start Soul Hackers 2 for PS5 today, when my copy arrives. Hopefully I can finish it before The Last Of Us Part 1 releases. Other then that, some more Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I should be done with it before the weekends over. And probably some Dying Light 2 co-op on Series X with a friend.
If it was sold through Best Buy, I would have bought it. I'll stick with my standard copy and the points I receive from that purchase to go towards another game.
Put my pre-order in yesterday. So excited to play the best console version of one of my favorite games of all time! I'm assuming gyro controls is included in one of the many accessibility options? It was added to TLOU Part 2.
Hopefully it's around $150. I can't see it costing more than the Xbox Elite Series 2 controller at $180 but who knows. Either way, I'll be buying one asap! I have 6 Dualsense controllers that I'd like to still use, so I hope Sony releases a back button attachment for those. If not, they probably won't get much use from me after picking up a Dualsense Edge.
So tempted to pre-order, even though I have the PS3 & PS4 versions. Knowing me, I'll give in and pre-order it today π. One of my favorite games of all time. I know it will look and sound amazing on my LG C1 OLED with 3D audio! Excuse me while I go to the Best Buy app and order my copy!
The 1TB WB Black SSD has been great for me this past year. I knew it would fill up quick, so I purchased a 5TB external drive for PS5 games I've completed. I prefer to have all of my games downloaded and ready to play at anytime, so I plan on upgrading to a 4TB SSD soon. Especially since I see them on sale all the time.
Playing Blue Reflection Second Light on my PS5, I'll be going for the Platinum for that game. Still playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on Switch, about 50 hours in. Nothing much on Series X at the moment.
@Lando_ Those are both good points. I was thinking the PS5 version for performance and better visuals, plus trophies. Mabey I'll wait on a review. Or pick up both versions, who knows lol.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy God of War Ragnarok?
Looks like my copy won't be delivered today (PS5). Mabey it will show up tomorrow.
My God of War Dualsense controller barely shipped out today, so it won't arrive until Friday.
Oh well, back to Bayonetta 3 and Persona 5 Royal for the time being...

Re: Official God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Graphics Modes Revealed
@KidBoruto Yeah, 60fps uncapped is so smooth with VRR. 1440p already looks great. No way would I choose 4K 30fps over 1440p 60fps.
Re: Official God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Graphics Modes Revealed
I'll go with performance, high frame rate and VRR.
40fps is a nice option but 60fps unlocked is where it's at. I played The Last Of Us Part 1 at 1440p with VRR and 60fps uncapped frame rate with gyro aiming on my LG C1 OLED and it was glorious! Can't wait to play God Of War!

Re: DualSense Edge PS5 Controller Is Coming Soon, and It's Pricey
I was expecting it to cost around $180-$200. So I'm not surprised. After finally getting an Elite Series 2 controller a few months ago, I can't go back to a regular Series X controller. It will probably be the same with the Dualsense. I've missed back buttons!
Re: Ys IX: Monstrum Nox Adventures to PS5 with All DLC in 2023

Re: Cult Horror The Chant Could Be a PS5 Sleeper Hit

Re: Rumour: Sony Will Flood Stores with PS5 Stock in 2023, Revised Model Due in September

Re: Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot's Enhanced PS5 Version Drops in January, Is a Free Upgrade

Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Average Playthrough Will Take 15-18 Hours, and 'There's No Filler'
Preloaded on my Series X thru GamePass. Loved the first game and so hyped for this one! I'll pick up a physical copy for PS5 later on.
Re: Where to Pre-Order the God of War Ragnarok PS5 Controller
I'll try to pre-order one. If I miss out, it's not a big deal. It would just sit on my shelf anyway. I really want that Dualsense Edge asap!

Re: Disappointment as Tales of Symphonia Remaster Is Seemingly 30FPS, 1080p on PS4
