Missus has got me a new surround system, psvr2& a portal so there will definitely be some gaming. Gonna bring in my racing rig and play the fu%k outta gt7 π stoned to the balls of course ( makes it so much better)..
@Anti-Matter when I read comments like yours I think it's cute that young kids are taking an interest in games and then I discover you're in your 40s and it feels different π€£
@Runex2121 I'd never watch something like twitch but back in the day I'd definitely watch whoever was playing while I waited for my turn at the arcades, especially 2 player winner stays on π
@LavenderShroud add a hardrive and play ps2 roms, very easy to do and fun for the authentic experience ( I have mine filled with the singstar games for the mrs π€£).
@Stickleman 100% agree, I think the oled steamdeck has been the console of this gen. Plus it's opened my eyes to pc gaming and its pretty sweet tbf....
Easiest answer ever - Ridge Racer. They was such a generational leap it was mind blowing. I was 16 at the time and just started my apprenticeship so had a bit of cash and preordered it from dixons with ridge racer & tekken but they had ridge racer playing on a loop in their window for about a month before launch and I'd just stand at the window mesmerised by the arcade like graphics. Last time I've felt that in gaming unfortunately
Nah, love the steam deck but mostly in docked mode and mostly for emulation ( although pc gamers get a hell of a lot of games for free which is pretty sweet). It's perked up my interest in going full pc though especially with how console gaming's going these days... But no, a portable ps5 doesn't appeal and the portal seems to be stepping up in that regard if that's your thing
@riceNpea truthfully though, even with a decent TV do you really feel its worth it right now? I'm assuming it will come onto its own with some big upcoming games but at the minute the gains seem pretty trivial
@get2sammyb yeah there's benefits but this is aimed at the 'enthusiast' who has a decent setup and has been enjoying the quality mode at 40fps for a while now. I truly want to care about this but I'm more than open to change my mind and maybe it'll be gta6 that truly shows off the hardware
Tell you what guys, first impressions in here aren't exciting me about the pro. Sounds like a few games are decent but unless it has the pro logo you have no idea your playing the 'enhanced' version or not...
@JB_Whiting appreciate the honest feedback π I've a similar tv setup to you which is great for comparison. Really need to support this fully going forward
@JB_Whiting have you tried any of the games that these guys were calling a remarkable improvement? Refreshing to hear a real experience and I'd love to be convinced to buy one but my fears are now your reality unfortunately
No interest whatsoever in replaying games from the last 4 years with slightly better graphics. Maybe if gta6 is unplayable on ps5 I'd consider it but I'm guessing it'll run just fine
@nomither6 have to agree with you, infact I've definitely played more ps3 games this year (through emulation) than I have ps5 games. Says it all really
@Northern_munkey thats interesting, for me the ps3 was such a leap forward with the introduction of hd, bluray, a hard drive and even wireless controllers that it was hard not to be impressed and is kinda the blueprint for what we have now. Actually your right, I'm not really enjoying this gen all that much but it was the ps3 that started it all...π€£
@Northern_munkey Just out of interest what do you think was sonys worst gen? I have to agree with others that this has been by far the worst, there's new hardware releasing next week and i haven't got the slightest bit of interest in it despite being day 1 for everything since ps1 (apart from psvr2, they really s*it the bed on that one )
