@PsBoxSwitchOwner yeah in defence the frame rates looked much better on the pro with ratchet etc.

Still not worth the billion dollars they’re asking though

If they did a 1TB version with a disc drive I’d more seriously consider it.

I went £549 as I’d still need £100 for a drive.

Analysts saying this is for “enthusiasts” make it seem like all those have £800 to drop on a small hardware update.

I’m an enthusiast but I won’t buy it as I don’t see the value in it.

This is more for wealthy people and not all enthusiasts are wealthy or wealthy people enthusiasts.

@Jimmer-jammer I think the big deal is there are people like me who were excited to upgrade at the right price, which in my opinion this isn’t.

I can afford it but won’t buy it due to not seeing the value in it at that price. Therefore it’s disappointing as I was otherwise expecting to upgrade.

Personally would have preferred a disc drive instead especially considering this is supposed to be a “pro” model but nevermind.

Sony just seem so out of touch these days which is sad after the ps4 gen when they were nailing it.

How to pre-order:

1. drop your pants
2. Bend over

🤣

@LogicStrikesAgain not sure, just hoping…

@OldGamer999 yeah here’s hoping their announcement is sooner rather than later!

@TheOldHunter4K yeah agreed!

At 600 with a drive I probably would have taken the plunge…

I’m sure it can run games better and frankly it absolutely should do considering what it costs.

So much in fact Nintendo will now take all my money with switch 2. Thanks Sony!

@TheOldHunter4K no you’re right adding the ps5 at 450 as it came with a drive as did all the previous consoles so is “like-for-like.” In fact you should edit the ps5 pro to 800 considering that’s the price for the drive version!

The design is redundant to me after seeing the price sadly.

Funny we’re being asked to upgrade to this machine for silly money to get the 4k/60fps the original PS5 was supposed to provide.

I’m losing my patience with Sony atm.

I was very tempted until I saw the price. Even if it included the disc drive I doubt I’d budge.

Shame as was looking forward to it.

@ButterySmooth30FPS don’t forget the pain of hardware issues on PC as well as the terrible experience also known as windows 😂

I used to game on PC but just can’t be bothered with the hassle despite its advantages.

Maybe Sonys plan is trying to push us towards PC. Feels like it with this pricing…

Wow I was interested until I saw the price! 😮

Funny thinking that playstation exec thought they have no IP yet here we are with 150 characters included in one game.

Due to governments consistently printing more money (quantitative easing) the value of our £/€/$ decreases (inflation) and is worth less. For example the USD has lost 86% value over the last 50 years.

Is not so much prices going up rather than you need more money to purchase something. The effect is the same though.

Sadly this is being felt more since covid, however there seems to be many companies taking opportune moments to increase prices for no reason, citing the above as the reason.

@Styledvinny79 not sure tbh I was wondering the same. Have you seen them on offer somewhere?

I’m actually interested if the price is right. And by that I mean <£550 🤣

@Leon_93 I thought concord was an airplane?!

How about stop losing IP like crash and foster old IP like wipeout, killzone, jak, sly etc?

@naruball totally agree.

Surely Sony must be paying attention to these SP game successes while feeling the pain of concord and probably fairgame$ (not to mention suicidal squad etc) to the point they hopefully change strategy back to what made them successful in the first place?

@RubyCarbuncle well glad to be of service reminding you! 😂

18m? That is actually insane!

The more success stories for SP games the better imo.

Sweet this and then Zelda at the end of the month! All I need now is time to play them 🤣

Hmmm… should I go with this or concord? 😂

Bungie, concord, fairgame$ - what a disaster. Sony need to stop this obsessive desire to find gaas shooter success and get back to what they’re good at.

PS1, 2, 3 & 4 were all successful without these trashy games. Stop alienating your core fan base Sony.

Let’s hope Herman and co take this as a message to move away from their push into gaas games.

@TrickyDicky99 that’s cruel but I do agree 🤣

Poor Simon Carless, I hope he gets to drive some day!

Nice this is looking better by the minute!

Interesting I noticed Amazon is not allowing reviews of this. Made me suspicious it wouldn’t be that great.

Maybe Ubisoft threw them a few dollars as they knew it too…

@Ichiban I love your rendition of zippidee doo dah 🤣

Yep if this doesn’t come with a disc drive I’m out.

Wow that is blatant.

No my ps5 is hungry for games.

We need to support this with our wallets!

I’m in only if the price is right and by that I mean reasonable.

If it reviews well I’ll grab it at some point if only as I’m a fan of Indy.

I’m away on holiday for 2 weeks and forgot my switch so I’m playing pocket league story on my phone.

@kraven condolences. Hope you’re holding up ok.

@get2sammyb probably because Killzone, resistance etc all had solid SP campaigns included with them. As far as I know concord doesn’t.

On topic I have to agree the character design is not good here. It’s what I’d expect the result to be if I asked AI to design me a 5v5 gaas shooter. Generic, tick all boxes design.

I don’t like to see games do badly when countless people have devoted their working lives creating something but with Sony complaining about profitability, surely super risky punts in live service games isn’t a good shout. They’d be better off going to the casino and putting the money on red at the roulette table.

This constant fleecing of value by Sony, MS and whoever else just makes me wonder why they have “loyalty” programs at all.

Just get it over with and scrap it Sony!

I like the sound of this as I don’t have time for massive open world Ubisoft type maps.

Would much rather quality over quantity.

@rjejr ah thank you, I’ll be able to sleep soundly now tonight! 😂

@cburg you’re absolutely right that Xbox don’t owe PlayStation an explanation, it’s just their actions and lack of info is confusing both sets of fans and doing damage to their brand. Imo.

@rjejr I was questioning my status as a gamer over the yellow mouse. Glad I wasn’t the only one!

For some reason I don’t really gel with Bethesda games but the fact this has an Indy lick of paint means I’ll probably pick this up on ps5.
