Such a massive waste of money. Not looking good for the future of PlayStation if Hulst stays in charge and keeps pushing games like this. Anyone think that Marathon will fair any better?
I was against getting the standard pro, but dam that's good looking. I might be tempted to go for that bundle. 30 years since I traded in my mega drive!
Edit: UK release was 1995 September 1995. So 29 years since saying goodbye to the mega drive.
For what it does is not worth paying that price. PS6 is probably 3 years away. So I'm happy waiting for that. Maybe we'll have some games that will make full use of the extra power by then.
@OldGamer999 Yea, they haven't done too well this generation. Need to release a gamepass ultimate console. Big brick with no fancy design just to use for gamepass games. 😂 There was talk of it being heavily reliant on streaming from their cloud. I really hope that's not the case.
@OldGamer999 I thought the Xbox was going for 2027 as well. Think 2027 is time enough for a new generation. There had been some talk of a mid life refresh for the Xbox as well, but that turned out to be the digital version and the other disk model with an extra 1TB of storage. No sign of the new controller either that was in the leaks either.
@kcarnes9051 So now you're just going to ignore my last response and pick another different statement and want me to discuss it as well. No, I'm not going to expand on it further. Because when would it end? Would I have to agree to ur position that the PS5 Pro is a must by to stop u responding? I have already covered that statement in other posts. So as you like going through my posts on this article you have your answer already.
@kcarnes9051 So, u say you don't need to be able to give an example of a game. Then go on to quote me saying that there are no upcoming games from Sony that WE know about that make a new console a must buy. Is somehow stating that nobody should buy it? Or somehow offensive to you in particular and you need to go on for the people that do want it. So to be against that statement you must know of a game that makes it a must buy. As I wasn't talking about replaying old games you've already played because you can have a few extra frames. Unfortunately it's just fact that WE don't know of any games coming out because Sony haven't shown us anything. People can buy it or don't buy it, I honestly don't care. Only Sony cares. As I said if my 2nd PS5 dies I'll probably replace it with a pro. Depends on what it offers over the current PS5.
Edit: FYI 3rd party games only need to use 1 feature to qualify for the "enhanced for PS5 Pro" label.
@kcarnes9051 Do YOU know of a game? Hit me up with a Sony game coming out next year that warrents a PS5 Pro? I'm not speaking for anyone, I said in my original post that games are needed to make it worth buying. Nobody has been able to say any games because we don't know what is coming out from Sony at all next year. Maybe this will change and Sony will put on an amazing showcase, with must buy games and the improvements to the system will be more than minimal.
That's quite a stretch, if I tried that I'd def have pull something. 😂😂 Live service games don't survive by giving away free things and are not typically single player games.
@StrickenBiged Hopefully they did something like that and didn't pay anything for it. Just more money wasted. Maybe they should pull the episode and just pretend it didn't exist in the first place. 😂
@kcarnes9051 I won't be, as I said there's no games coming that we know of that make it a must buy. I'm not going to replay games just for the slight increases in those areas.
Would Sony have paid them to do an episode on Concord? Considering how new an IP it was? Imagine if it's an amazing episode and nobody watches it because of the game. 😂
@kcarnes9051 I can see them really only being minimal improvements though. It's not going to be a massive leap forward in any 1 of those areas. I'll only replace my PS5 with the PS5 Pro if it breaks and I need to replace it again. If it drops the price of the standard PS5 then could see a lot of people that are still on PS4 making the switch.
@Moj500 I'm not sure what point ur making here. It's been a poor generation. There's no getting away from it. I'm saying that currently there is no reason that I know of for a PS5 Pro. It could be helped if we knew what Sony was working on. Would love them to bring back a lot of the franchises that they've ended or just left.
@Moj500 What is the point of a pro model in this generation? What leap has been made recently in TV technology that mimics that of 4k? Which was the reason for the PS4 Pro model releasing. Considering how hampered the start of this generation was due to the pandemic there hasn't been that many PS5 exclusives. If u are wanting people to spend 6 or 7 hundred on a mid gen refresh there needs to be a reason for it both short term and long term. That's the problem with Sony. What's Sony's next game after Astro Bot? The only game that springs to mind is that fairgames one. They're obviously working on the GoW spin off, GoT 2 and Wolverine. Though they haven't been confirmed. Can't really talk much on the Xbox side of things. I literally only turned my series X back on again this year after they announced that Blops 6 was going to be free to GPU subs. Nice £70 a year saving there. Since then I've been building my MS reward points and stacking up on free GPU.
Pre-ordered as I have no idea when or what the next Sony game is I'll get. Will be playing this next week after getting through the Blops 6 beta this weekend. Also need to do all the extra stuff that was added to the playroom before starting.
Will this massive failure and the state of Destiny be enough to force Sony into going back to focusing on quality single player games that people actually want to play?
Dam, I'm probably going to miss out on the week 1 operator skin. Will only able to play the first beta for about 3 hours on the Friday. So prob not enough time to get to level 20. Least will be able to play a couple of days on the 2nd one.
Wouldn't have seen an article like this back in the PS3 or PS4 days. Nobody wanted Xbox games on PlayStation back then. PS5 is out selling the series X that much it's forced MS hand. On the other side Sony has not really delivered on exclusives this generation so people are looking to get access to more games.
I'd find it hard to believe that anyone has ever paid full price for gamepass ultimate. The price rise was always going to happen after they spent billions on Activision. Though should remember that MS put more than their own games on gamepass day 1. Sony have added a few indie games day 1 but they don't have the same money to play around with. So while it would be nice to get a couple of games a year added day 1 to PS+ it's not worth it.
I hate to say it, but the only game for the PS5 I'll probably be buying this year is Astrobot. Most of the rest I'll just get on GPU.
The MS show was great, was like the good old days of E3. Also most of the games they showed I'm interested in.
Sony and SGF were very meh. Sony really need to step it up and start showing us what's being worked on. Crying out for Wolverine and Ghost of Tsushima 2 details.
@Anti-Matter I'm intrigued, I def will look into them. Look so chilled out.
What a show that was! 2nd year in a row Sony has been shown up now. 9 games and expansions coming to gamepass this year and 11 next year. 12 once u add on the next COD. 2 games from Sony for this year. Astro Bot is obviously a must buy but concord looks awful. Can't think of any that we're announced for next year.
@Malaise Agree with you, the odd remake is good for new gamers to get to appreciate old classic games. However, it's just been constant this generation.
