I mean it is getting better (as it should be considering the PS5 is almost 4 years old) but there are still loads of games that get released as Cross Gen
There was even an article on this very website this morning listing them all
Yeah it's more the future that I'm concerned about than the here and now if this is the way prices are heading.
I'm more than happy with my standard PS5 and will continue to enjoy it without any FOMO on the Pro.
I'm hoping I can still rely on Nintendo to pump out reasonably priced products... I'm really looking forward to finding out more about the Switches successor
The Pro itself doesn't price me out as I've already got a standard PS5 and I don't particularly need a Pro.
It's looking to the future that scares me.
The PS6 will obviously be even more beefed up and powerful and this is where i'll probably be priced out.
There's no way the PS6 will sell for any less than this.... if anything it's likely to be more ...... much more...... and that scares the Hell out of me
I've owned every Playstation so far, but if this is a sign of what's to come that I feel the PS6 will be beyond what I'm prepared to pay
I'd love to be proven wrong and only time will tell but I'd be amazed if the PS6 starts at any less than this.
The only way it's cheaper is if this Pro absolutely bombs and they realise most people (not everyone obviously but most) just aren't prepared to pay that much for a Games console
that may well be true but it still strikes the fear of god into me worrying what they will try to get away with charging for the PS6 when that inevitably releases.
The PS6 will have even better specs so they will presumably charge even more... not less
Price creases aren't great at any time but I already own 2 Duel sense controllers and unless one of them breaks I'm very unlikely to ever need to purchase another one.
Long story short I won't be losing any sleep over it as it will (hopefully) have Zero impact on me personally
Whilst I probably wouldn't have gone out and bought any of the 3 games, it's quite rare to get a month when we get 3 games that I genuinely would like to try.
Again I've no arguments / issues with what you're saying.....
I just can't get my head around why it would make someone flat out refuse to play a game just because it doesn't have trophies.
If it has them, great!!!! Crack on
If it doesn't, just play the game anyway and enjoy yourself, life's too short to get upset over something so simple. (I'm not specifically accusing you of being upset, it's just a figure of speech)
Some of my favourite games of this generation have actually been on the Nintendo Switch, Super Mario Odyssey as a prime example.
On that game there's not a trophy in sight but it hasn't impacted my enjoyment of the game in any way shape or form.
Could it be argued that having trophies to collect might make it better? Quite possibly. But why anyone would refuse to play it (or any other game) because it doesn't have a trophy collection it completely beyond me
I agree that they should be in all games in this day and age, and as I said in my first post they're a cool little addition, but would it stop me playing a game because it doesn't have them???? Absolutely not.
I just don't understand why someone would prioritise a meaningless trophy count over their actual enjoyment of a game
Trophies are a cool addition to any game but anyone who refuses to play a game simply because it doesn't have trophies to collect, need to have a serious word with themselves
I agree with you both that FH4 is better than 5, but I think it's highly unlikely we'll see that on PS as Microsoft are delisting the game from sale altogether in December 2024 due to licensing issues.
If we do get a Forza horizon game it will almost certainly be number 5
Are you seriously telling me that you've never, booked a holiday, ate at a restaurant or bought an expensive item (just a few examples) without first reading a couple of reviews to get other opinions on whether it's worth your hard earned cash??
If you haven't then fair play to you for living life on the edge lol
But reviews done properly and not by trolls can be extremely helpful to many people, certainly doesn't mean there something wrong with them for wanting another persons opinion before committing themselves and potentially wasting their money
They have definitely stopped for me (or at least they had, I haven't added this month's free games to my library yet so not in a position to confirm if they've started again)
In the last year or so the only time I've had a "thank you for your purchase email" was when I've actually bought something.... ie money changing hands......
Haven't had an email for claiming a free PS plus game in a long long time so definitely not fake news
Still more than I'd personally want to pay for one but I believe this is the price it should have originally launched at to give it a fighting chance of survival
Bit of a boring answer to be honest but....... not alot changes.
If anything I probably get more opportunities to game because my wife and daughter both watch Love Island every night so I'm left to my own devices for a good hour before bedtime
Try this, I found it on another website, I did it a while ago and it did work
*How to delete game files on a PS5
When you delete a PS5 game, the data associated with it is saved in case you want to reinstall the game in future. But, if you definitely don’t want to play the game again, you can delete the game file, and free up some extra space, as follows:
Go to the home screen.
Select ‘Settings’.
Select ‘Saved Data and Game/App Settings’.
Choose ‘Saved Data (PS5)’
Select ‘Console Storage’.
Click on ‘Delete’.
Choose the files you want to delete.
Hit ‘Delete’.
Press ‘OK’ to confirm.*
I was expecting a 2024 release but I think if we still haven't heard anything official by the end of September then I don't think it will happen (this year)

Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device

Wouldn't surprise me if (when the time comes) they're still releasing games for all 3 consoles, 4, 5 & 6

Re: Poll: Would You Buy PS5 Pro If It Was Cheaper?
I've been considering getting a 2nd PS5 so I can have one upstairs on my monitor and one downstairs on the TV.

I think I'll just pick up the slim digital model for £389

Re: Sony to Start Selling Refurbished PS5 Consoles
Are they selling any refurbished PS5 Pros by any chance
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
@GrimWillows
I think it's a fair comparison.
Let's go back to the PS4, the base model I believe started off at £350. A few years later the PS4 Pro came along at £399.
Then a few more years after that the PS5 released at £450 (Now bizzarly selling for £479).
You can see the pattern developing though can't you??

Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
Absolutely not, you'd think they'd learn from pricing the VR2 at such a high price point
What I'm more worried about is where this leads too in the future ..... how much are they going to want for the PS6???
I think I've just been officially priced out of my favourite hobby

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for September 2024?

I'm really sorry but you've completely lost me lol
I don't understand how having a PS5 in addition to your PC would restrict you.... surely having both would give you more options.... not less
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for September 2024 Announced
Not bad, not bad at all.
It's rare that we get 3 games at once I'd actually like to try
Re: Do You Want Astro Bot on PC? Creative Director Wants to Know
Absolutely not!!!! if those PC scruffs wanna play it tell them to buy a PS5 like the rest of us

Re: It Took PS5 Longer Than PS4 to Pass 4 Million Units Milestone in the UK, But There's Context
@OldGamer999
Why buy a PS5 when still in 2024 I can play the soon to be released COD and FIFA on a PS4.
Unfortunately you've hit the nail right on the head. As a day one PS5 adopter it makes my blood boil that we are still seeing Cross gen releases.
I could just about accept it in the first 6 month launch period but we're now 4 years down the line and it should not be happening anymore.
Make all new games Current Gen exclusive and give people a reason to upgrade their consoles.
I've grown up owning every Sony and Nintendo console and this Cross Gen nonsense was never a thing until recently.
You buy the latest console to give you the privilege of playing the latest games.
As much as I love my PS5 I just feel completely cheated this generation

Re: Sony Appears to Be Dabbling with Written User Reviews on the PS Store
I'm fine with it as long as it somehow only allows people to leave a review if they can prove that they've actually purchased and played the game.
There are far too many fake reviews out there as it is from trolls.
As long as the reviews are from people who have genuinely played the game then I honestly don't mind and will value their opinion (good or bad)
Re: Oh No, PS Plus Email Spam Has Suddenly Returned
@Almost_Ghostly
I guess I was one of the lucky ones 🤪
Re: Reaction: PS5 Needs a Price Cut
Personally I think the price is fine as it is.
Perhaps stop releasing games as cross gen and make them PS5 exclusive, which in turn will then give people an actual reason to upgrade their consoles.
It's getting better but I honestly can't believe cross gen games are still a thing almost 4 years into the lifecycle of the PS5
Re: PS5 Sales Reach 60 Million Milestone, Now at 61.7 Million Consoles Sold
