@Art_Vandelay good times those! I was so jealous of SNES and megadrive owners 🤣... Anyway my favourite genre was (and still is I would say) adventure games (aka point and click)… and that was absolute exclusivity of PC platform.

@Art_Vandelay I'm a pretty handy guy with PC and gaming and stuff (I game since late 80s, and I work as a computer programmer)... I even had the very first 3d accelerators on PC (not GPUs back then), the Voodoo, Rendition V1000, etc... so I'm not scared of a tweak here and there to play my games... BUT configuring PCVR/Quest2 ... oh dear!!!! So yes, better have it sorted out and smooth as it can be by Sony ; )

@Bez87 I use the Quest 2 as PC VR… both wireless and wired (for example with racing sims as you don't move around) . Quest2 is an incredible device for it's price, even using it as a "VR console" is already good... As you say the graphics are not high quality because it's very much like a smartphone level SOC... But then when used with a PC, it's mind blowing. Thing is, what type of hardware do you need on the PC to run with great experience... I have a rtx 3070 also from launch day and it's not enough to deliver native panel resolution for quest2, so literally I stopped playing like 18 months ago (not even a 3090 can deliver)... I'm waiting the release of the new GPUs later this year so I can play with the intended resolution (the difference is quite striking). So, I do think PSVR2 is amazing because the hardware in PS5 is good enough to provide a decent experience (mainly because it's a closed platform+ foveated rendering)... And that idea of having the wire coming from above is good, I like it 😅, at least not going to step on the cable is nice.

better play Lakers vs Celtics on PC, I think it was a single density floppy back then... oh how I loved that game. I remember using the numpad on the keyboard to control the players and sending off the ball with the 0/ins key...

@invictus4000 well, yes, I don't know the tech stuff behind it but it may be very possible that Sony opted for a wired solution because it's 100% predictable both on bandwidth and stability of the connection. Even if Sony could ship a propietary wireless solution, maybe there are other issues that may affect the quality of the experience. I'm pretty sure that "has to be wireless" was a top priority on Sony's wishlist when designing the hardware/ecosystem, so there must be a couple of very good reasons out there.

I've to say PSVR2 seems to hit all the right notes, except for being wired... can't get it. I've had the PSVR almost at launch, then sold it a couple of years ago when Quest 2 lauched (got one on pre order with the money from PSVR) and aside from other technical benefits, being able to play wireless is just another level. I do aknowledge the benefits of wired solution, be it less cost, less weight of the device and unlimited playtime (no battery), etc... BUT... still can't get it.

Anyway I'm all in day one.

@TommyNL Same here, waiting for a price drop (50% at least), or to be included in PS Extra, of course ; )

I loved the 1st one on PC, the sound design was terrifying. I remember how the wooden floor creaked under the character's steps... then a couple of scenes, with the dancing monsters, the "bird" coming through the window, etc... really scary game. Played it many many times.

I think it's ok to sell it full price on PC, PS5 If you don't own the PS4 remaster (let's leave out the Plus things)... But really... Asking for 70usd for some upgrades, mmm. Of course nobody forces you to buy it, but makes it look greedy as hell.

@HUMPERDOO happened the same to me yesterday!! I used to rock back on its day on PC... Now I had to run through the tutorials... But then I remembered how much fun it is when you start flowing around... Amazing game.

Loved the first one. Played on PC back in it's time. I would say point and click adventures are my fav. Imy first contact with adventure games started was Larry 1 with text commands... That wasn't point and click but 😅

From what I've seen on YouTube, ray tracing mode with VRR (supported these remasters) may be the way to go.

@Futureshark top notch line.

Upgraded to Deluxe ( for 46 USD up until Sept 2023, then 77UDS/year), it's the same as Premium without the streamed games, which is not available is my country.

mmm going to the PS BLOG and reading the platform menu "PS5", "PS4", "PSVR" ... I started thinking on a TLOU PSVR2 experience...

@get2sammyb It's the only game that can get me into online multiplayer... 🤣

Well, there are two things that make this still appealing... 1)it's last of us... 2) it's naughty dog.

I fell asleep at one point. That's sums it up.

I would love to see ND doing some raytracing GI but seems it's not (and probably never will be) the case...

@DeepSpace5D was thinking the same. Grounded or nothing.

Was hoping for something better than Last of Us 2 at a technical level given the additional time with PS5 hardware, but seems more or less the same. Of course I will play it but don't know if day one. Depends on price. Maybe those that paid full price for the original can have a little discount? 🤣

@Unsungzero612 great. Will check it out.

I need to let this out 🤣: I've never played RE4, well, no Resident Evil game at all, justa bit of RE7 in PSVR but was so scary that I left it. I love terror/scary movies but games are too much for me. And I play games since late 80s... I think one of the few games of this style I've played (and finished) is The Evil Within 2... How far is that one from a resident evil game?

So new game, day one on Plus Extra... Might not be the only one. Nice.

Day -100 for me. I loved Kotor.

I don't think the Switch version holds back the PS5 version, otherwise they are just loosing the entire PS4 market size for nothing?

Makes sense only if it's developed to fully leverage PS5 hardware... That way it's a win win situation... You can play it on the best of ways, and they can learn valuable things for new PS5 games.

Remake? So like with current gen graphics? I played Max Payne 1 on PC at launch and beat it in a single non stop session. Loved as much as you can love a game.

I've played the game day one for a couple of hours and had to drop it because of lack of time. Hopefully will play it once it's patched "a lot" 🤣

I remember when Wing Commander II was released, it was praised as being "a cinematic experience" and "interactive movie"... Well, the fact was if you had a color monitor and a PC able to run the game, you were on the cutting edge... Those were the best graphics you could get... "How much better it can be?"

@Phelaidar seems pretty likely. On the RT side, it will be better used for GI but it's like dreaming. In fact I maybe prefer a 1080 game with full realtime GI...

There's always new public... err gamers to hook. I don't see the problem with this re re re remaster. I'm curious about the RT implementation. I started playing it on PS4 when it launched, but I think I got around 25% of the story and then I dropped it, couldn't stand the framerate, but I liked the game so far. So now I might be able to play it through...

@Voltan great!! Thanks for the info! Time slot allocated then 🤣

Mine is already preloaded... At what time GMT it gets playable??

I love DF videos, but I'm not watching this one because I want to play day one spoiler free.
Resolution mode for me please, didn't have a problem on HZD with it so I prefer better graphics.

All I ask is it to be at least the same fun as Zero Dawn, and expanding the story in a good way. Have it preloaded. Fingers crossed.

I think I played like 30% of the story mode in PS4 back when it launched, I liked it but for some reason I left it. I think I could start again with this one.

The cable is... Mmm I had the psvr an I have a quest2 and playing wireless is supreme.

This is terrible. Horrible. Awful. And I do own two Xbox Series (S/X) along a PS5 ... This kind of move will end destroying everything... Really... What's next??? This is Microsoft at it's worse.

@ShogunRok i'm also thinking about it... 60fps and OLED... Absolutely amazing game. Played it day one on PS4 Pro, but on LCD tv.

@nessisonett for me it's all about the machines... The game can have 0 people for what I care.

Sadly being for better/more machines or better/more people, it will be held back by PS4.

Not having E3, this is what we have... I used to start thinking/dreaming about "yext year's E3" as soon as the the current year's ended... not the case with this show, but I don't think it does any harm either.

Oh, also I think it's fair to respect the work of people... like it or not, there's a lot of hard work put in this show.

@rjejr well, running on PS5 makes it more "real" than watching over YouTube, but then there's no user input, game logic, physics or any other burden for the hardware to attend... So while this might look impressive, having a game looking whatever this thing looks like, will be maybe a little off the charts, at least for some years.

The only thing in the world they have to do is remake PES6. Just PES6 with better graphics and that's it. I've played football games since microprose soccer on PC and for me PES6 is the best yet, I don't care for 8 directional movement or any other "old" stuff it has. It's so good that it hurts.

Horrible month (for me). I used to play Links 386 like 30 years ago on PC but I haven't touched a golf sim since then...

But is the game any good? Every time I try the (latest) demo, it feels like crap.

Not happy at all to see H2, GOW2, GT7 and more being released on PS4. I know these games are long in development but having to wait two more years to see a proper next gen experience is a bit underwhelming.

I bought a 360 back then to play this one, amazing game. I'm not the kind of gamer that plays more than once the same game... But maybe...

I don't play multiplayer games but being TLOU and Naughty Dog saying it's a cinematic experience, I'm all in.

PsNow would be nice but it's not available for all regions 😒
