Warms my heart to see everyone finally waking up on dunking on PS's damage control articles.

@Weebleman Nope, just the fanboys.

@Flaming_Kaiser JRPGs being my favourite genre, yes I've played all those over the years. SNES, PS1 and PS2 were the best for them. Still waiting on a Shadow Hearts trilogy remaster!!! (well I only want 1 and 2, but if I have to take 3 in order to get them I can suffer it)

@Flaming_Kaiser Give me a complete LOD remake by Bluepoint games. Now THAT I would buy a PS5 (if they can bring themselves to keep it off PC that is!)

@Weebleman Where did I insult the PS5 in what I said? Well, you can't insult inanimate objects, but let me break it down for you.

I'm not laughing at people preferring or choosing to play on PS5.

I wasn't laughing at the inability to run 4k. I wasn't laughing at the inability to run 60fps. I was laughing at the fanboy/media narrative crumbling and the damage control the fanboys and media have had to pull off some hypocritical mental gymnastics.

Hope that cleared it up.

4k "is a waste and doesn't matter" when you don't have it and can't do it.

60fps "doesn't matter, makes no difference and 30fps is fine" when you can't do it.

Never change fanboys.

@nessisonett My favourite has been Push Square pushing that 4k is the future the last few months. Until the PS5 is only doing it at 30fps. Then suddenly lower res at 60fps is their standard, despite years of insisting it didn't make a difference. Sad.

BUT THAT SSD THOUGH!!!! I laugh derisvely at anyone who tries to talk about the PS5 SSD and IO like they have a single clue what they're talking about.

When I went in to cancel my preorder for PS5 (which was the day they officially went live, despite having it preordered since December) I could hear the people in front of me at various points in the queue being told different dates. The first few people were getting "end of december, after christmas" and the lad just in front of me got told start of next year.

Yikes. Talk about a pointless upgrade.

Interesting wording btw.

Digital owners can upgrade. No patch for physical owners?

Shouldn't this be called a next gen xbox console exclusive? Since it's available on current gen, as well as next gen Xbox and PC and a confirmed timed exclusive.

See how it works both ways?

@BlueOcean Side note, on PureXbox I get called a Sony fanboy, on here I'm called a Sony hater. Despite holding both companies to the same standards.

@BlueOcean It helps whip up their fanbase into fervour resulting in clicks. They will claim to be anti console war but will engage in "us vs them" to benefit. I've seen a small bunch of hardcore fanboys on here that ride or die Sony for life and believe Sony is above criticism.

@BlueOcean The denial of multiplatform and any mental gymnastic attempt to claim exclusive in any way is madness these days. This site is by far the worst offender of all sites/platforms for it.

If you want a good laugh, go back a few days to the articles about the rumours on MGS remake and Bloodborne. Both made 30 minutes apart, by the same blogger. Both say PS5/PC in the article but 1 says exclusive in the title.

I look forward to playing FFXVI on PC in it's best form, because it's non exclusive multiplat.

Can't wait to play this non exclusive multiplat.

This is absolute cringe.

Shinkawa is just leagues ahead of pretty much any western artist. Him, Yoshitaka Amano, Tetsuya Nomura and Akira Toriyama, godlike.

Fitting this was released today and 3 Metal Gear games were re-released yesterday.

Meanwhile we know everything about Xbox, Nvidia have even launched their products and AMD have dated their reveal of everything.

Yikes.

With how hard Sony is pushing excluding Xbox from games (can't even call them exclusives since they're PC/PS5) it won't surprise me if Microsoft freeze out Sony.

@BowTiesAreCool You keep using that term. I don't think it means what you think it means.

@naruball Even if they tried force me, it wouldn't happen with that disaster.

And a paid remaster 3 months after launch.

It'd be less disappointing if it was originally announced as a cross gen game.

Rather than get announced as next gen then eventually walk it back. Which means game design development changes to compromise the game overall.

Boo, disappointing

@Akurusu It is definitive that it is the worst version of DQXIS, yes.

@wiiware PC version is for you. Better visuals than PS4 and had the orchestral OST modded in day 1.

On topic, the extras of the S version are not worth getting the inferior experience the entire time.

@MarcG420 Well at least the 980 Pro and Sabrent drives would fit.

@MarcG420 Is there confirmation of the size limit in there yet? After all the PS5 is huge. I can't remember all the Cerny details.

@No_Cartridge "needed" is not what I said. The PS5 drive is 5500mbps, this is 7000mbps, 27% faster on raw speed.

@LemonHaze https://www.pcgamer.com/adata-launches-one-of-the-fastest-m2-ssds-around/

@Matroska Not sure the point of that comparison. People with PCIE3.0 boards will be buying cheaper/slower PCIE3.0 ssds. This is clearly for people with good 3rd gen Ryzen boards or the upcoming 4th gen ryzen and 11th gen intel, which are all 4.0

@GamingFan4Lyf Big yikes. Thanks for the info.

Crysis gameplay was actually never good, it was all about the visuals at the time. As evidenced by every review of Crysis 2 and 3 gameplay being equally as poor.

Question though, does the PS4 (and by extension Xbox and PC) version of the remaster have the Ascension level? It was cut from Switch because the underpowered console literally could not run it, just like 360 and PS3 back in the day. I assume it's still in the 3 modern versions?

@AdamNovice So not PS5 exclusives. Gotcha. Even though they're on multiple platforms. So why are they on PS5 exclusive lists?

This is actually the slowest of the 3 current PS5 beaters. Adata's newest drive is fastest, followed by Sabrent, then this drive in 3rd.

Also they do not roughly match the PS5, they exceed it by a decent margin (27%). Raw vs raw, like for like.

"Does sound lile a different game"

There was the defense line I was expecting.

Absolutely laughable on Sony's part and they deserve the ridicule. Tone deaf. Really shows how they view you as a consumer.

Nothing more to say.

@Tharsman Everyone knows selling PS4 "remasters" is totally unacceptable. Except Sony execs and Push Square staff.

@AdamNovice You count a game coming to PS4 and PS5 as a PS5 exclusive? You count games coming to PC and PS5 as PS5 exclusive?

Bunch of games need to be removed from this list lol

@get2sammyb Some will be just fps and resolution increases and some will be hefty upgrades but nothing justifies it to me. If it wasn't in the middle of "free next gen upgeades" by almost everyone, with different hardware architecure it'd be a different story.

Especially when the platform holder is allowing everyone else to upgrade their games for free, but not their own.

Edit: Xbox are taking shots at Sony on social media since this came out. They're.spamming their free upgrade message. Rightfully so.

@get2sammyb It won't be enough to justify why they're charging for it. Unless you're doing a full remake, it's not justified.

Especially on games only a few months old

@Alexb That happened after the PS2 as well and lool how thay went for the PS3. Glad I main PC.

Paid TLOU2, HZD, GOW, GOT, etc upgrades incoming.

PCMR? Yep, PCMR.

@wiiware "only" 500k copies is still $20million dollars. Not bad for a bad port of an old, dead game. Clearly they thought it was worth it.

@Matroska They can create whatever terms they want to feel better. I will sit back and laugh at the multiplatform games they try to claim.

@DeepSpace5D Nothing can save MGS4. A bad game is a bad game.

So not a console exclusive, got it. Stupid people buying the marketing line to feel better about their purchase.

Also, pressing 2 to doubt on this.

My money is on multiplayer announcement and a paid PS5 remaster with no free upgrade for PS4 owners.

@ShogunRok But probably not free ones, if Spiderman is anything to go by.....

@PeakyBlinder Of course it goes both ways, but we're on here with the Sony side. When Sony do it I'll be on the other side pointing out the same thing.
