Ps5 pro would be great if the ps5 had a price drop and the pro took its place, like ps4pro. As it is, the improvements are so granular that doesn't justify the steep price. And what is the logic of saying it improves your library when you have to spend even more for a disk drive?
The RT on Hogwarts legacy was never really that good even on a High-end PC. The fact that it keeps everything else the same but adds more blurry and shaky reflections with the same res and framerate is a little disappointing.
This was not a bad game. The problem is: this was a game no one wanted. There is a saturation of Live-Service games, and it gets even worse when it is not free-to-play, and it looks so similar to other f2p games. The quality was there in every aspect of it, but the demand was not.
I'm starting to avoid reading stuff on this website. Sony console is my main gaming hardware, I love Playstation franchises and all... but the way this page is trying to promote the Pro feels unprofessional, fanboy-ish and makes me question the promotional money influx it gets from Sony.
Please, try to be more neutral and direct on your news or comments about this console. It is looking amateur and a sellout.
@ZeroSum I hope so... Open-world games seem to get me bored for sequels. It feels bloat on top of bloat. I feel the second game already suffered a lot from this.
The original missed the mark on what made Rare original platformers so great. Really hoping this remaster/remake will fix those design mistakes. Those feathers with horrible placements, weird level progression and repetitive/redundant habilites, for example.
Wish they would get done with Horizon. We've had Horizon 1 + DLC, Horizon 2 + DLC, Horizon VR, Horizon Remake and Lego Horizon. There is just too much Horizon.
Well... the original game DLC was fine... just fine. So I actually dont mind the sequel (which is inferior to the original game anyway) not getting dlcs.
Games usually have a day-one patch, and they keep getting optimizations and fixes as well as 3 months after launch. You are literally paying more to do free QA and beta-testing.
@RBMango Gotta agree that it feels like it was not the actress fault, because she shows depth and range in many scenes. It feels sometimes she was deliberately directed to act different than the original just for the sake of being different, not really better.
AOD was a bad game not because of concept, but because it as one-year pushed too early. If they had time, things would be great. There are almost no bad concepts in the game. Maybe this remake can make things right?
This doesn't look nor feel like a significant upgrade, honestly. The main reason I would like a sequel is if they changed how the horribly single-threaded engine works. Performance on the first game tanked hard no matter resolution on PC and they "fixed" it on console by adding a ridiculous content limit.
This is purely the consequence of whoever greenlit this project. The game overall didn't seem broken or poorly made. It just wasn't a needed nor desired game by anyone. The marked is flooded with games of this genre and with that art style. It should never have been approved.
@get2sammyb I mean, this article is practically ignoring all negative points that they pointed, like flickering, shimmering, performance-mode settings with higher res... It is not about the overload of reporting, but the overload of biased reports that ignore the negatives and also had a misleading comparison that an editor here made up on photoshop and then replaced the comparison after people took notice.
Wait a sec... where did that FF image came from? It is not in any place in the article mentioned as the source of the news. And it says in the news that cnet (the source) is the only on to have tested the ps5pro.
The PS5 pro is US$820 simply if you do not want less features than the base PS5, since it does not come with a disk-drive nor a stand.
This is just insane...
And you'd think they would have learned their lesson after the PS3 horrible launch.
At this price, this will die faster than the psvr2.
Edit: Just realized it does not come with a stand or a disc drive... at US$ 700. This is ridiculous.
This will be $20 in six months, and it will be patched and fully functional, with better visuals, as it is with every Ubisoft launch. Then MAYBE I'll get this.
@nessisonett they did made her look younger... which could also be a misinterpretation... she acted childish in the original because of trauma, not age.
I'm really hoping for the best. The team has potential, the original story is great, and the original game could really improve with new visuals and gameplay mechanics. The only real nitpick I have so far is in Maria's Design. The whole point of her design was to be sexualized, since she is a representation of a straight man sexual desires.... I mean, this was one point that really differentiated SH2 from games from that era... female characters were not just male gaze and had a meaning, and the new design makes me feel like all that went over their heads.
Xbox is slowly leaving the console manufacture market, nintendo has a different slice of the market, cross-gen has just ended... There is really no need for a refresh, just wait.
So, a game no one wanted is not selling... Hope WB understands live-service games are over and stop forcing their studios into creating those games, and that they do not shutdown Rocksteady for this.
@Carlore_Preventis A lot of words and judgment of me as person when you don't even know me. I was analysing this person's writing, not his character. And you don't even know if I have some sort of professional background on this subject... maybe, just maybe, I know a thing or two about this stuff.
@Carlore_Preventis Not pretentious at all. The review is making a critique not about what the game tries to do, but what the reviewer was expecting. It is as simple as that.
Look, part of this Remaster is a *.ini file that changes LOD and shadow res. The other part is completely unaware of the games own message about violence and violent actions. The whole point of the game is about revenge and brutalitty, then they release a remaster with a game mode that turns violence fun???!!!

Re: Reaction: Why There Are So Many Unnecessary PS5 Remasters for Games That Don't Need Them
I can see remasters for old PS2 games, maybe for old PS3 games.
PS4 games don't need remasters nor remakes. This is just silly.

Re: 'It Felt Like Putting New Glasses On,' Claims First PS5 Pro Hands On
Hope PushSquare will be critical about this release and not just offer publicity to Sony.
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?
@bindiana I honestly think it will.
It will join the PSVR2 line of abandoned products.

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
