@Wario_Waha bingo. However you will get predominantly responders making excuses for the situation.
It's at least a bit reassuring that outside these brand allegiant website echo chambers, there are those that are willing to voice their frustration with such an overpriced piece of hardware releasing in circumstances that don't really justify it's "premium" marketing.
Still really only one major improvement in the form of FF Rebirth And zero new software to support this launch.
Kind of laughable that Sony launched this overpriced refresh with its major Marketing gimmick being that it might make old unoptomized games run better, or already gorgeous old first party games get dedicated patches that you have to squint to see the difference. so replay those already great running fp games very slightly better. Yet the other third party games that really needed boosts, the pro is undelivering on due to the nonexistent cpu upgrade.
There is really no reason to justify this hardware, even as an enthusiast, aside from fomo. Hopefully those reasons come in the future. However the CPU limitation doesn't bode well for that occurring on a mind blowing scale even for big games to come.
@Northern_munkey I hear ya. I have pretty much given up on mp games because of this. I was a die hard socom player back in the day. However cheating has become so widespread and frankly economic for the creators, users, and devs, that it just not fun to engage with any of it anymore as there is really no desire on the dev side to get rid of them.
Looks promising. It just feels like the perfect setup for a pretty game shell disguising a never ending loop of live service schemes masquerading as shallow progression.
The tech and art style looks great, too bad it wasn't put toward an actual game and story. Who knows maybe it has more, however this is the outfit that uses a ton of AI designed drivel for those aspects, including voice, so I wouldn't hold my breath.
Here's hoping to something interesting, yet fully expecting just another addiction based scheme full of cosmetic nonsense and stat loot carrot on a stick motivations.
If square released properly optomized games on release, I feel like alot of us that waited and still are now for a sale would have jumped in. That just hasn't been the case for games like Rebirth or Ff16. They also sold off all diversifying ip to make a quick buck. SE is just straight up mismanaged. Much like Ubisoft and now clearly Sony as well.
Couple that with what feels like a PS5 pro marketing scheme to offer it selling points through brute forcing better performance with these old games, only if you buy into an over priced and under performant mid gen hardware.
Especially as it certainly suggests further base performance patches are likely not even coming because of the choice to Help Sony sell the pro. Cause let's be honest, literally the ONLY genuinely transformative Pro boost available at launch is with Rebirth. So most of those that waited hoping on them actually finishing these games technically are now going to wait for very steep sales or ps plus inclusions.
@Enuo a well crafted kids game is still a kids game. Just because you and the ps band wagon applauds a simple platformer as a triumph it's still a platformer and if that genre of game is not your thing, it just isn't, no matter how good,.... And that's OK
I loved platformers as a kid. Hell I may even enjoyed these Lego games. As an adult they are far less appealing. Pretty understandable, no?
Hopefully, more than iterative and frankly aging sequels. We need more new IP or at the very least new ideas. TLOU, Spiderboy, uncharted, horizon, and GOW are already losing their luster for me. Imagining another sequel if it's just the same we saw in their second outings is just not all that compellimg. Hell even if Ghost of Yotei doubles down on the very boring side content is a letdown for me.
So iterative in the most bland ways. Not To Mention the marvel junk is getting as boring as their movies.
I get I'm in the minority here speaking my mind and criticisms about modern day Playstation, on a Playstation site in which most are in a perpetual loop of brand allegiant excuse making and various other forms of echo chamber herd mentality.
However, I can't be the only one who is/was less enthused when the news broke that insomniac is just planning on a wolverine game and then more Spiderboy/venom. I feel like they have such talent and yet they along with other Sony studios, are stuck in sequel or marvel purgatory merely because it prints money.
Completely insane to me that the pro Model still has the limited 32gb hdmi 2.1 bandwidth. This means lesser color output as well as more limited vrr range compared to the other box and pc when using applicable modes.
Why wouldn't they address this limitation?
No one seems to be reporting on the fact that the specs that were leaked a good deal back where wrong in terms of GPU power. Those Leaks stated 33 teraflops.
In the unboxings we now know that the official manual for the Ps5 pro states it's only a little more than 16 teraflops. Only 4 more than the xbsx and 6 more than the base ps5...
Why does this matter? It doesn't lol, none of this does.
However, consider this: you have continued to be blasted with marketing and the fan human defenders give reasonings such as the idea that an equivalent pc GPU/setup could not be made for the the Ps5 pro asking price and Thus it's a valid price point.
That rational was based on those leaked/assumed specs.... However the actual speed rating puts it an entire line of gpus lower than what those compatisons/rationales were based on.
Gee..... I wonder why Sony didn't correct that pre release, or even release official specs at all during that time...
@Porco @Nepp67 @nessisonett
Exactly. Capcom and SE both seem to have taken this release unfinished approach.
🤔I have to be honest it's curious when you think about the fact that these devs knew a pro was coming long before we did. I mean the pros marketing/release has essentially translated to these devs enjoying a sort of second release window double dip of marketing and potential game sales....

Insanity to see the excuse making, copium, and myriad of absurd takes here.
The bottom line no one wanted this. That's it.
Sure some found the idea of playing yet another ps4 game being resold to them with a modest visual upgrade for 10 bucks less robbery.
Yet, for the most part, you set that price aside and no one wanted this and that was largely the consensus even when it was just rumored.
Most of us who wanted to play horizon have, and a slightly better coat of paint doesn't make an entire playthrough of a 7 year old story driven map icon laden game like this compelling.
I think a lot of people, even the ones typing brand allegiant discourse on here, if they get real with themselves, are frankly tired of the current PS rerelease strategy not to mention their overall fan base relations.
Only the willfully ignorant and brand allegiant playstation fan humans would turn a discussion on a terrible ps plus month into a random reason to flame Xbox.
Pretty interesting considering Sony is just ghosting the holiday release season aside from peddling an overpriced upgrade on the back of improving technically unpolished third party releases from the last 18 months and shipping a friggin Lego game....
@Bionic-Spencer couldn't have put it better myself. If this and it's absorbent price were pre planned.. That's not a good thing and this idiot Said the quiet part put loud.
To compare the ps4 pro to the Ps5 pro is just ridiculous due to the price disparity to their base models alone.
Just say you planned to prey on your fanbase coming off the success of the last generation to the most greedy and slimey extent possible. When you saw the Ps5 selling like hotcakes during its release you chose to magnify that plan even more and ghost your fans along the way, Despite the first party software side being pretty weak and mostly cross gen.
So far I'd say the problems with playstation leadership/decision making extend far beyond just whoever is CEO.
However, Hulst is proving to be quite costly for their revenue streams and fans alike. Pretty interesting that everyone blamed Ryan for these bad decisions when we come to find out much of them were Herman's babies.....
Yeah, absolutely not. This generation is the worst one Sony has ever had in terms of output to some degree, but more importantly in terms of fan service and greed driven anti consumer policy. Had I known this was going to be their way, I would have never jumped in day one, nor now.
This is shaping up to be an entirely skippable one, as the majority of the Ps5 native ps studios stuff won't even drop until the end of the generation if it is even native (Ghost of Yotei looks like a Ps4 game). By that time just wait and play it on the ps6 where it will run better or have 2 remakes. By then.
Not to mention you have nearly all of the major third party releases in the last 18 months intentionally releasing unfinished/unoptomized titles in order to help sell a minor and over priced mid gen refresh or at the very least use it as a crutch and manner to essentially have two releases for the same game in a way.
It's the worst time to get a ps5 because now we can see the writing on the wall. I would caution anyone on doing so. At this point play your back catalogue or the majority of current Gen games that are in actuality better running ps4 games, and wait for ps6 or save for a pc.
I see no reason to be grifted into Playing a game I have no interest in doing so again, merely under the premise of a modest visual upgrade. One that up until a month ago, everyone agreed was completely unnecessary. It's still unnecessary regardless of it being 10 bones, or even if it were free. It's still a waste of time and yet another double dip from the the modern Sony greed wagon.
@PsBoxSwitchOwner well for me because it's almost been every single one of his accounts that largely align with what my interpretations of the same games end up being. That's why we all kind of have go to sources of information that we believe to be more credible is it not?
However, that's just me and I get that, but what makes it even more compelling is that he gives examples directly pulled from the game that show what he's talking about criticism or praise. You don't see that in any of these major industry arm reviews. no direct examples like video clips or photos of anything backing up what they're saying. Honestly, a lot of times it makes sense because they're not really saying anything of depth to explain there general conclusions anyways.
And when it comes down to a game like this it's really depth that you need when it's an endeavor that's upwards of 50 hours of ones time to to be invested to complete alongside that $70 price tag.
Let's Be real here. You are gonna need to slap a heavy discount on this one to get many that didn't hop into this at release, to ever consider doing so now or in the near future.
Lol, it already looked and ran great even in performance mode. Any issues were so minor as to be undetectable by this avid soulslike fan. Nowhere near the poor performance and aging visuals coming out of Fromsoft.
Sony and it's marketing arms are really grasping at every straw to increase pro demand and shape public perceptions........
After we continue to milk two ips with unnecessary ps5 pro remasterakes for the next 18 months. Don't worry, this time we will only charge 10 bones for it, and the marketing arm of the industry will tell you that means perceptions have changed, and people are cool with it 👍right HZD remaster?!
Such a shame when we we have bloated AAA studios churning out formulaic sequels and double dip remakes, yet a team creating quality new an creative ideas/stories don't sell well because they don't get their efforts viewed from a fair and equalizing perspective via games media.
Ubisoft has gotten so bad with their stealth in AC and even worse with outlaws. Not really excited at all to see a modern day Ubisoft attempt at Splinter Cell stealth.
@ShogunRok thanks for the review, I am genuinely curious what you mean when you're talking about like the time constraints or something about days and then a looming time deadline or something. This isn't like cynicism or my typical critiquing what deserves to be critiqued type comment here Iactually just don't quite understand what you were trying to say that aspect of it was.
Is there an actual like time restraint or looming countdown in order to do objectives or are there side quests and or is it just streamlined into this checkpoint/way Point type gameplay Loop dictated by a timeline framed as a matter of in game "days"?
@EfYI lol yah I wanted to Try Both games so. Just ended up paying the 4.99 for. One month of EA on Ps5, disappointingly bounced off survivor, but enjoyed playing through dead space and then canceled the sub (I think even wild hearts [monster hunter like game] is free on there if that interests you). Basically a 5 dollar rental for two+ AAA games that I would never purchase for full price. 👍
Ps plus just isn't worth it with the new tiers list unless you aren't an avid gamer that hasn't played through many of the old games, most of which are ps4, on offer. So I only.Sub to any of them If there is a month worth doing so. The price gating for some online functionality is bs though for sure.
Oh yes yes. So Amazing to see this ps4 game, already double dipped into a ps5 rerelease, now serving as a selling point to play it again on a modest mid gen upgrade with an absurd console price Tag. Look folks, now you can play this for a potentially 3rd time or more, but you can see background detail slightly clearer! Mic drop
The two games of this IP have become the Gta 5/Skyrim of playstation in the worst sense of that comparison.
The funny thing is if that occurs and it's just some major conglomerate of salivating private investors at the helm, it will just be even worse formulaic and/or predatory games and a massive layoffs that result.

Is there an actual like time restraint or looming countdown in order to do objectives or are there side quests and or is it just streamlined into this checkpoint/way Point type gameplay Loop dictated by a timeline framed as a matter of in game "days"?

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2024?
@EfYI lol yah I wanted to Try Both games so. Just ended up paying the 4.99 for. One month of EA on Ps5, disappointingly bounced off survivor, but enjoyed playing through dead space and then canceled the sub (I think even wild hearts [monster hunter like game] is free on there if that interests you). Basically a 5 dollar rental for two+ AAA games that I would never purchase for full price. 👍
Ps plus just isn't worth it with the new tiers list unless you aren't an avid gamer that hasn't played through many of the old games, most of which are ps4, on offer. So I only.Sub to any of them If there is a month worth doing so. The price gating for some online functionality is bs though for sure.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2024?
If it's dead space your interested in that's been available for months, along with Jedi Survivor, with EAs sub svs for a fraction of ps plus cost.
Crap month
Re: PS5 Pro Boost Is Pretty Clear Cut in The Last of Us 2 Remastered Comparison Video
Oh yes yes. So Amazing to see this ps4 game, already double dipped into a ps5 rerelease, now serving as a selling point to play it again on a modest mid gen upgrade with an absurd console price Tag. Look folks, now you can play this for a potentially 3rd time or more, but you can see background detail slightly clearer! Mic drop
The two games of this IP have become the Gta 5/Skyrim of playstation in the worst sense of that comparison.

Re: Tencent, Guillemot Family Reportedly Considering Ubisoft Buyout
The funny thing is if that occurs and it's just some major conglomerate of salivating private investors at the helm, it will just be even worse formulaic and/or predatory games and a massive layoffs that result.
