Re: Hands On: Spider-Man 2 All in on Ray Tracing for PS5 Pro

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?

Re: Hypnotic PS5 Pro Boot Screen, Background Worth the Upgrade

Phelaidar

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.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Silent Hill 2?

@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.

Re: PS5 Pro Shows Real Promise in First Expert Analysis

@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.

Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Pro Way Too Expensive?

Phelaidar

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.

Re: Silent Hill 2 Remake Dev Asks Fans to Give It 'a Chance'

Phelaidar

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.
