@anon_pel222 I agree, but when modern games are increasingly complicated with hundreds of characters and systems... Having a floating horse is honestly a win, it could be so much worse. 😅

Shame that the covers are not available for the original model

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Fair enough, but surely you can understand why people are disappointed in Sony for this when the easier solution would've been to just skip the PSN requirement? Everyone would've been happy, both console gamers and PC gamers.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Even if some companies already have gathered data from you, it doesn't mean that you want to give it to everyone else. Some accounts are just a necessary evil as it's hard to live without an email account etc.

It also doesn't matter how easy and quick they make the account creation process. The problem isn't that you need to spend three minutes to create an account. The problem is that the account is completely unnecessary especially in single player games.

That's a very reasonable take, I think.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner To be fair, the bitrate on Youtube is so low that the difference in image quality was not particularly noticeable. Especially since they didn't even zoom all the way, but instead opted for relatively small images.

The difference in fluidity between 30fps and 60fps was very obvious, though.

Considering that Sony has seemingly forgotten that PS VR2 exists and gave up on it faster than they did with Vita... wireless version is definitely not happening.

@Max_the_German FSR3 frame generation is only slightly better than the motion smoothing on televisions. Adds latency and has some obvious visual artefacts. In my opinion it should never be used to reach 60fps.

But yes, most people will not notice. They may feel like something is a bit off, and may notice some ghosting, but that's about it.

@CielloArc As Rich Leadbetter explained in this article, it's mostly about CPU. Lowering resolution doesn't have a big effect on CPU. Similarly PSSR will mostly help when GPU is the bottleneck. While more powerful GPU and PSSR will improve the graphics and image quality, they will not necessarily help with framerate.

But this is all speculation at this point. We have no idea how demanding the game is, and how much physics and other simulation stuff it has.

@ButterySmooth30FPS The fear is that Sony will keep this up during next generation as well. If there is no one to compete with them, they will ask for the largest sum that they can get away with. It has happened before.

They don't need competition, but we do.

It's a lot of money, especially considering that the current generation may only last around four years more. PS5 launched in 2020, so it's already almost four years old. Can't see it going much further than 2027-2028.

Step 1: sell your kidneys
Step 2: sell your house
Step 3: take a loan
Step 4: start a savings account
Step 5: pre-order a PS5 Pro
Step 6: you forgot the disc drive...
Step 7: time to sell all of your other property as well

Looks like a PS5. Not much else to say.

Nope, not sold, not getting it. Not now, probably not ever unless they drop the price by 200€ or so.

Just checked and the disc drives are around 130€ here. Yeah, not spending over 900€ on a console, and I'm not giving up my physical PS5 games either.

I'll just vote with my wallet and not get this console. They made a bad call with that pricing, it's absolutely ridiculous.

799€ and not even including a disc drive? Hell no, not getting that.

@rjejr I have no idea what kind of person Chris Deering is, so I certainly have no reason to defend him. Instead I'm criticising the headline and writing of this article for turning a positive quote into something with the intention of enraging people. Gotta get the clicks somehow, huh?

What he essentially said is that if you get unemployed, do not give up. Maybe take a short break and try something different, but keep updated on your own field and keep on trying again. Eventually you will get back into what you love doing. Can't get much more encouraging and constructive than that.

Also, why did you feel it necessary to attack people with the weird assumption that people who are pointing this out "probably have a lot more issues than just defending this"? That's super harsh and offensive.

@get2sammyb I think the message is clearly positive, and while the examples he gave (driving uber or going to beach) aren't particularly good, I don't think most people would find this quote negative unless someone makes it sound negative.

@get2sammyb Yes, but did you actually listen to what the words said? I think @Bez87 summed it up pretty well.

This article is extremely misleading. If you read the quote and pay attention, you will not end up with the narrative that Pushsquare is promoting here.

Well deserved, it's the best fighting game in this generation (so far, at least).

@Damage99 Series S could definitely run it if they took the time to optimize it well. The game has very high quality assets, but I think the game would look just fine even with downscaled textures and simplified geometry.

While I don't personally have one, I think Series S makes a lot of sense. An affordable system for GamePass is a tempting offer, and I think that's why Series S has sold far more than Series X.

I think that's just bad filesize optimization. Don't get me wrong, the game looks beautiful and clearly has high quality assets. But I don't think it's worth over 100GB.

It's a tale as old as time itself... Or rather, as old as Unreal Engine is. Smaller teams get access to high-end tools, but the budget stays small. End result is visually nice looking games that often lack in animation and polish in gameplay.

Just saying, I doubt a person running Square Enix's social media accounts has much knowledge about their upcoming projects.

Very cool, might play it on my Steam Deck then.

I've been busy playing on my Steam Deck and Switch lately, but I don't blame lack of games on PS5. There's still plenty of games that I'd like to buy for PS5.

@Cutmastavictory Yes, but the user interface is likely going to be very different in the PS5 version. A good or bad UI can really make it or break it when it comes to these building games.

Confusing title, since that's PC footage.

Disagreed. Silent protagonists leave room for the player's imagination. As long as there is emotion in the animations (especially on face), silent protagonists work really well. Also avoids the problem of having annoying voice acting. I was playing Cyberpunk 2077 and I wish that game had silent protagonist because I dislike the voice acting of the main character.

I'm pretty confident that MH Wilds is going to be released on Switch 2. Perhaps even a launch game or launch window game. The series has been very popular on handheld platforms, so it makes a lot of sense.

@nessisonett At least it's better than hearing Donald talk about ingredients.

Or singing songs in Atlantica. I have nightmares about those scenes.

@LikelySatan Streets of Rage 4 is excellent, but I haven't played Fight 'N Rage. I'll check it out at some point.

Lots of TMNT games coming out. Not sure about this one, but I'm interested in the Splintered Fate. That said, it's hard to beat Shredder's Revenge which is one of the best beat 'em ups I've ever played.

I hope they will add Ratchet & Clank 3 eventually. That's my favourite in the series.

@Mortal If they don't change these icons before Bungie notices, it may very well be The Last Descendant.

This looks amazing. Hopefully it will play well with an arcade stick.

Would be funny if it turned out to be a cheap pizza oven with a custom shell.

@Khayl It's settled then, I will never go to Australia.

So is it 40fps in 120hz container similar to Spider-Man games on PS5?

@breakneck I don't think there is any one, actual definition for an indie game. I just think it's a bummer that the word has lost its meaning as a game from independent developers. It's not that big of a deal, but it kind of downplays the achievement from actually independent developers, especially when games with massive funding get to be nominated on award shows.

That said, Dave the Diver is definitely a good game and I don't blame the developer. The problem is with news sites and other media using the word carelessly.

It's not really an indie game though. But close enough I suppose.

@Maubari You don't need to like it (I sure don't), but you got to admit that digital makes a lot of sense for Sony. First of all, they get much more revenue from them, since they don't need to print the disc and case, and the retailer doesn't take their cut of the price (not to mention shipping/logistics). Secondly, Sony doesn't benefit from second hand market. Thirdly, games are going to be bigger and bigger, and I'm not sure that future disc technology can keep up with it. Finally, games are almost never finished on launch day, so you'll need to update it through internet anyway or even download a big chunk of the game.

As for the Stadia, PSP Go and Xbox Series S... Stadia failed because it is cloud gaming with weird payment model, not because it was digital. PSP Go failed because it launched too early for digital to make sense, not all games were available digitally, and Sony was too greedy to support standard SD cards. Xbox Series S on the other hand has apparently sold three times more than Series X. Hardly a failure, although Xbox in general is not going super strong.

I love physical media but I don't think it's guaranteed at all that future consoles will support it. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

It's a great game. I admit that I wasn't the biggest fan of the combat system in the early game, but by the end it gets so much better. I also really enjoyed the story, characters and the world.

It was a great Direct. The new 2D Zelda game looks great, Metroid Prime 4 looks solid, Marvel vs Capcom collection was a huge surprise, and Dragon Quest 3 remake looks amazing. I also really liked MIO: Memories in Orbit, definitely getting that at some point.

It looks amazing, so seems like a fair price to me.

I never really understood why Platinum trophies are a big deal. I don't mind having trophies, but it's weird how some people seem to be more interested in getting some arbitrary achievements than playing the game just for the fun of it.

@Specky Fatal Frame or Project Zero depending on the area. They're on multiple platforms. There's a couple of them on PS4/PS5 as well.

@nessisonett While I agree that Sony should do better, I don't think PCSX2 is really comparable to Sony's in-house emulator. PCSX2 started development in 2001 and has had hundreds of contributors (although I think the core development team is smaller). They lack the documentation and funding, but they have the next best reason to continue development. Passion for gaming. Never underestimate open-source development.

Additionally, I think there are different priorities for a commercial release such as Sly Cooper. It needs to be stable, and the user shouldn't need to tweak the settings to make it work (which is something that is often required with emulators). That said, I have had the game crash once already, so Sony hasn't done the best job either way.

Now, I haven't played the PS4 version but the PS5 version is definitely serviceable. It could be improved by giving options for higher resolutions and (in my opinion more importantly) integer scaling, but it plays the game smoothly without any major visual artefacts. Hope they fix this syncing issue on PS4 though.

Sounds good, I really don't want games that last 50h just to play through the story. I would be satisfied with 15-20h for a full priced game.
