Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 437

DTfearTheBEARD

@KilloWertz So did you quit gaming for a while? Nintendo has held on to my wallet for the past 5+ years with all the Switch releases that continue to come out with no sign of slowing down! Switch is easily my biggest collection of games (250+) I have compared to my other consoles and I still feel like I'm missing out on so many others.
So many games, not enough time to play them all...

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 437

Just finished Ghostwire Tokyo last night and i loved every minute of it! I have a few trophies to go until I get the platinum, so I'll be doing that.

I also started Xenoblade Chronicles 3 last night, it's safe to say that will keep me busy for a while.

I really wanna play Stray but I'll hold off until next month and buy the physical copy. Have a great weekend and happy gaming everyone!

Re: PS5, PS4 Finally Go Portable with Officially Licensed PlayStation Backbone One

DTfearTheBEARD

@MulletproofPunk I agree! I have the Razor Kishi and PSPlay app for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Both work so well together. I can play PS4/PS5 games in bed at 1080p with HDR on my phone! I don't use it very often, but when I do, it's amazing! The PSPlay app even supports gyro controls and rumble thru the phone! That app puts Sony's app to shame. That being said, I've heard good things about the Backbone, if an android version comes out, I might get one.

Re: PS5 Folders, 1440p Support Part of New Beta Update Out Today

DTfearTheBEARD

Someone enlighten me, why would I want to use 1440p options if my TV is 4K? (LG C1 OLED) Would that be a better option to choose for games that use a lower resolution, like for performance mode?
I understand if you have a monitor that's only 1440p but other then that, I don't get it. I'm a beta tester, so I'll check out the update today.
I don't really care about folders...

Re: The Last of Us: Part I PS5 Gameplay Is Next to Leak

DTfearTheBEARD

@theMEGAniggle C'mon have some faith. I'm sure Naughty Dog will show extended gameplay with new features (Hopefully) and if not, we wait and buy it on sale for $20. And still have the best version of TLOU part 1 to date. With 3D audio, dynamic 4K, and Dualsense features lol.

Re: inFAMOUS: Second Son's Cole MacGrath DLC Is Now Free for Everyone

DTfearTheBEARD

I'm not picky, they don't have to be built from the ground up remakes to please me. I'll take dynamic 4K at 60fps and I'd be happy. Obviously a remake would be better, but I'm sure Sucker Punch is working on Ghost Of Tsushima 2, which I want also lol...

I think Second Son looks amazing on PS5 already and it runs at 60fps so that's fine as is...

Re: The Last of Us: Part I PS5 Gameplay Is Next to Leak

DTfearTheBEARD

I'm all in day 1 because I love TLOU so much! This video doesn't do it justice though. I'll wait on Sony/Naughty Dog to give more details before I make my final decision. I really want gyro aiming to be included like ND added to TLOU part 2. But they didn't add it to Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection so that's concerning...

Re: No Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade Path for Persona 5 Royal

DTfearTheBEARD

I was late to play Persona 5. I only played it when I got my PS5 on release day, because it's part of PS Plus. I loved it so much that I bought P5R physically for $30. I'll buy P5R again day 1 for Switch only if it has a physical release. Same for the PS5 version, but I'll wait on a price drop for that. If not, I'll just play it on Game Pass day 1 on my Series X. I'd much rather play Persona on Switch in handheld mode, but not if it's digital only...

Re: inFAMOUS: Second Son's Cole MacGrath DLC Is Now Free for Everyone

DTfearTheBEARD

I went back and played Infamous Second Son again on my PS5 last year to get the Platinum. Wish this would have been available for free then... o well, mabey I'll get to it one of these days. I didn't care for Second Son that much, didn't click with Delsin. Infamous 1 & 2 I loved, Cole is awesome! I would love for the first 2 games to come to PS5 with a remake or remaster. That would be great, Sucker Punch! I still need to play First Light also...

Re: The Weird and Wonderful No More Heroes 3 Hits PS5, PS4 This October

DTfearTheBEARD

I kinda wanna buy it for PS5 because of better performance and higher resolution. But on the other hand, I have the first 2 games for Switch plus Travis Touchdown and would like to have the complete series on one system... mabey I'll wait for a price drop. Even though that hasn't really happened for the Switch version (physical)

Edit- No More Heroes 3 is on sale at Best Buy for $30, so I picked up a copy...

Re: The Latest PS5 Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now

DTfearTheBEARD

I thought PS5 already supported ALLM. I have Game Optimizer on with low latency active for my PS5, Switch, & Series X on my LG C1 OLED. I still don't fully understand what BFI does. I hear a lot of praise about it from Digital Foundry. I have my PS5 & Series X set to PC mode for the hdmi ports, so I'm assuming that's why it doesn't give me the option to turn on BFI. However I can turn it on when I use my Switch (not set to PC mode) should I not use PC mode for my PS5 & Series X so I have access to BFI settings for those? BFI being OLED Motion Pro.

Re: God of War Ragnarok Collector's Editions Revealed, Two Have Mjolnir

DTfearTheBEARD

A voucher code for the collector's editions, seriously? I bought the God Of War (2018) Stone Mason Edition and it came with a physical copy of the game. I was going to do the same with Ragnarok, but now I'll get the standard PS5 version. Sony pulled this crap with Horizon Forbidden West also! Oh well, smh I'll spend that extra money towards other games...

Re: Sony's INZONE $899 Gaming Monitor Will Automatically Optimise PS5's HDR

DTfearTheBEARD

It's looks nice but it's definitely overpriced for what you get. For $900 you can get a 48" LG C1 OLED and this monitor doesn't even compare to that! The 27" Samsung G7 gaming monitor I replaced with the C1 has all the same features this monitor has 4K, HDR, 144hz, VRR, ect. And it cost $700. But I know it's the monitor made for PS5 so that's why it costs more. I hope to hear some info on the rumored Dualsense Pro controller though...

Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game

DTfearTheBEARD

RE2, RE3, & RE7 all run at 4K with checkerboard on PS5 & Series X in both ray-tracing and 120fps mode. And 1440p on Series S, confirmed by Digital Foundry. So idk where you got 1080p with battered visuals from 😝. All the games look amazing on my Series X & PS5 on both my 77" & 48" LG C1 tv's. Of course I play games on my tv's in game mode because that's what it's for and the image quality looks amazing! I see that you adjust the sharpness and use super resolution settings which I use neither. I personally prefer 120fps mode for all 3 RE games, it's so smooth with VRR enabled and it makes movement and aiming much more responsive. There is a YouTube channel on what settings should be used for the LG C1 for PS5 & Series X to get the best picture quality out of game mode. But to each is own when it comes to that... here is the link anyway, if you want to check it out and see if it makes game mode more enjoyable for you 😁...

Re: Final Fantasy 16 Dev Praises PS5 for Game's 'Breakneck Pace' with No Loading Screens

DTfearTheBEARD

Near instant load times are easily one of the best features of the current gen. Another one would be how quiet the PS5 & Series X are, especially compared to the PS4 Pro (One X was also quiet)
I'm also impressed by how much power you get out of a $500 console with up to 120fps, Ray Tracing, ect. Backward-compatibility is also great.(especially on Series X) all of that combined with a nice TV, (in my case the LG C1 OLED) makes this gen amazing so far!

Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors

DTfearTheBEARD

@Kidfunkadelic83 Thank you! I appreciate it. Are you playing RE2 in RT mode or high frame rate? Unfortunately my Platinum trophy transfered over from the PS4 version, so I didn't have a reason to play it again on PS5, but I played a little because I love the adaptive triggers on the Dualsense. However, I didn't have all the achievements on the Series X version, So I ended up playing it a few times on there lol. High frame rate mode is easily my favorite of the 3 options. VRR makes it run great!

Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors

DTfearTheBEARD

@eagletrippin I don't worry about it, but I know it can be a concern. I've had Samsung Galaxy Note phones for years with no burn in, and they all have AMOLED screens. Same with my original PS Vita with the OLED screen & Nintendo Switch OLED(the Switch
i play daily since it's release) The LG C1 has a gallery app where you can download Screen savers that constantly change if you step away from the TV for a little while. I usually turn my C1 off if I get up to go get something to eat, or use the restroom, ect. Plus it helps if you don't constantly play the same games or watch the same TV shows with still images in the corners of the screen. I never have the OLED pixel brightness above 75, I usually have it at 50. Which is more than bright enough for me. But I know everyone has different preferences. Anyways, may you have no screen burn in and enjoy your TV! 😁

Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors

DTfearTheBEARD

@Kidfunkadelic83 What games have you played on it? I was thinking about getting the 55" C1 because it's only $100 more than my 48", but it was a little too big for my desk. I know you said you don't like playing horror games. But you should definitely try RE2, RE3, RE7, & RE Village on the OLED, they all look amazing on the C1. Well everything looks amazing on that TV lol.

Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors

DTfearTheBEARD

@Shinnok789 I agree! The perfect monitor for my PS5 & Series X has been my 48" LG C1 OLED hands down! A few months ago I bought the Samsung G7 27" gaming monitor because it has hdmi 2.1, VRR, ect. It didn't have built in speakers so I bought some Bose speakers for it. The total was about $900. Around the same time I upgraded my TV to the LG C1 77", so I knew the TV was amazing already. Best Buy had a sale on tv's and I noticed the 48" C1 was on sale for $1000. So I ended up taking the gaming monitor and speakers back and replaced it with the 48" C1. Best decision I've made! Once you go OLED, you can't go back!

Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game

DTfearTheBEARD

@WaveBoy I can't tell if the resolution is 1080p, 1440p, ect in high frame rate mode, but it still looks good. Same as with RE2 & RE3. And the 120fps makes the game more enjoyable. Mind you, I've been playing it on my 48" C1 and not my 77" C1, so mabey the smaller screen makes it look nicer? You haven't tried it yet? I'm waiting for the Digital Foundry video for the games, because I'm curious what the resolution is when high frame rate is on. That's my only complaint with the PS5 version, still no Gyro Support SMH. Twin stick aiming is hard to go back to after playing Switch shooters that support gyro...

Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game

DTfearTheBEARD

I've put the most time into RE7 so far on my PS5 with the new update and mabey it's because of my TV, (LG C1 OLED) but the game looks great in 120fps mode and ray tracing mode. I personally prefer 120fps mode because clearly the gameplay is much smoother and it makes aiming easier (for me at least).

The updates are minor, but welcome none the less.

Ray tracing, 120fps, VRR, 3D audio, & adaptive triggers. All great additions to some of my favorite games!

Thanks Capcom! Bring on RE4 Remake & RE Village Gold Edition!

Re: Rumour: Sony to Announce a Premium Pro Controller for PS5

DTfearTheBEARD

When the Elite Series 2 controller came out I couldn't see myself paying $180 for a controller. A few months ago when the Elite Series 2 was on sale for $140, I gave in and bought it. Now it's probably my favorite controller of all time right next to the Dualsense. I've been hoping Sony would release a back button attachment for the Dualsense like they did with the Dualshock 4. But I'll buy a Dualsense Pro controller also. I can do without stick swapping and trigger adjustments, but I love having back buttons on my controllers!

Re: Resident Evil 2 (PS5) - A Cheap and Fairly Cheerful Upgrade

DTfearTheBEARD

I haven't put much time into the PS5 version of RE2 (already have the Platinum trophy) as I have been with the Series X version, but to me the Series X version runs smoother with ray tracing & VRR enabled. I kinda prefer the 120fps mode though, which still looks great visually on my LG C1 OLED.
I'm a big fan of the adaptive triggers on the Dualsense, so that's always a welcome addition. But Idk why Capcom (or most developers for that matter) refuse to add gyro support for PS4/PS5 games. 60 or 120fps with gyro aiming would be amazing! I love using gyro for shooters on my Switch. (Doom, Sniper Elite, Zombie Army, ect)
Most Playstation games don't include it, which makes no sense.
