@Jayofmaya Think of this version at looking at a photocopy with a magnifying glass. There is less detail than the original but you can see it more clearly.

Next we going to see games structured like PS4 games to take advantage of VR. But only available on the PS5.

There is clearly some electronics going on in that adapter.

@Medic_Alert @get2sammyb The enhanced backwards compatibility is really quite impressive. All the testing is been done on Xbox. But we know from a number of Sony 1st party games that have 60 frames per second patches. That both consoles work for patch games in essentially the same way. https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2020-xbox-series-x-back-compat-is-transformative
If cyberpunk is currently in a similar situation to dead or alive 6 say around the 15-20 frames per second mark on base hardware. Don’t you think it’s possible that it will be fixed by moving to next gen consoles?

@TheFrenchiestFry it’s pretty clear from everything we’ve seen that the lead platform is PC. It doesn’t sound like a problem of bugs per se it sounds more like a performance issue.

They should’ve released the versions that are ready on the initial release date and do the downports later. Similar to how they handled the Witcher 3 on switch.

Sounds like it’s time to revisit Final Fantasy 15. I played the day 1 version and really enjoyed it. This sounds like a good excuse of another run.

It keeps asking me to confirm I’m not a robot and I can’t get any further than that. I’ll try again tomorrow. Maybe it will believe I’m not a robot then.

@ShogunRok It was from base.com. They shipped it out on the 20th which is unusually early.

Whilst, over on the physical, side my copy was delivered last Thursday.

Unless Sony confirmed otherwise I would assume that PS5 would output 1080p to any 1440p monitors. I certainly wouldn’t go out and buy a monitor at anything other than one of the TV resolutions in order to play a games console. You’re likely to get a worst experience and waste money

An online game like this lives or dies by its community. Now we know that if it’s good it will succeed. Where as before the was always a concern not enough other people would be willing to pay full price and it would therefore be dead on arrival. Even if it was theoretically a good game. I’ll certainly try it out when it arrives on PlayStation plus.

I never can tell whether these guys are serious or not. I remember them announcing it would be an RPG on April 1.

Bye-bye is Zen hello Arm. Better performance per what but less performance overall.

I assume they looked at their pre-order numbers for PS5 and PS4 and decided it wasn’t worth doing the PS5 version on disk.

Fortunately NBA 2K21 itself is skippable.

I appreciate the way the PlayStation store does themes sales. The developer should be able to book a slot the next time there type of content goes on sale. The alternative is the switch or steam situation where you have about 1000 games on sale all of which are coming in and going out different times and which are not sorted by category.

Buying Rare and taking games that have been hyped to the Nintendo fan base to become Xbox exclusive is really worked at the start of the 360 generation. I’m sure they’re trying to repeat the trick with Bethesda.

If I start the PS4 version on PS5. Will I be able to transfer my saved date to the PS5 version when it arrives?

@get2sammyb @HotGoomba One of my friends uses both the PS3 and PS4. I can see from my friends list which he has used last.

I dictate all my messages using voice to text software on my iPhone. Welcome to the 21st-century.

Or the analyst in question might just be trying to drive up game stops stock price in order to make a quick profit on his own shares.

Game stop might well get a recurring cut from subscriptions they sell. But there’s no way they will get money when someone makes a direct purchase on Xbox with a credit card.

Sony are in a different position as they’re not trying to push consoles on credit and they’re less focused on subscriptions.

Large complex multi character action RPG with the same freedom to move and explore as breath of the wild. Nothing else quite like it and it’s very good. Just don’t trigger the Gacha mechanism with real money. You really don’t need to.

The big question is: will the PS5 Controller come with a charging cable? So you can use it with the PS4. Or will I still have to wait for my PS5 to arrive before I can charge the thing.

That is mad. Well I guess I’ll be after an adapter for my PS4 camera rather than the new PS5 camera as I have PlayStation VR.

I’m hoping the 2 TB one will be in a sale before I need it.

Currently at 304.

@swagbag713 Tales of Berseria is one of the best games on the PS4. Tales of Zestiria it’s also a good game and well worth picking up if you like JRPG’s

13th sentinels: aegis rim on PS4
Super Mario 64 on switch
legend of Zelda skyward sword on WiiU

Given that the first PS5 stuff we saw was the Spider-Man it feels more like they’ve been using this game of the tech demo and less like it was developed for its own merits.

I play need for speed rivals in the hope that it will be something like burnout. It wasn’t and I didn’t like it and judging by review need for speed payback isn’t going to be better. I have PlayStation now and haven’t played the vampire game so I doubt I’ll play it through PlayStation plus so I’ll probably add it to my library anyway in case I feel the need after my PlayStation now has expired.

@sabaki08 Yes you will need a disk drive to play discs.

If you need digital foundry analysis to tell you it’s in performance mode then that’s definitely the way to go for normal gameplay.
I suspect the 4K mode will only be used by people who want to capture still images with the photo mode (assuming the is a photo mode).

Seems like it’s the retailers Who took pre-registration for pre-orders. Who had too many pre-registrations which then converted into too many pre-orders. Apart from Amazon (who are always awful) people who pre-ordered after pre-orders went live seem to be okay.

@AdamNovice If you look at the game showcases PS5 certainly seems like the one to get. If you read the small print Xbox seems like a better deal. If you read the business press it sounds like Sony has bought lots of excellent games as timed exclusive for 2021 and the new content from Xbox games studios will start kicking in 2022.

At this stage both seem to be selling out so I guess you could call both strategies a success so far.

Yep PS5 Pre-order achieved. I got the disk version from Game. It cost £10 more due to the delivery charge it would of if I’ve got it in the first wave. Which is fairly irrelevant.

@KisekiFan7 The PS2 version of of God of War 2 was released in March 2007 When the PS3 came out in November 2006. It was more than two years until it got a PS3 port.

We don’t know precisely when horizon forbidden west is coming out but it certainly isn’t unheard of for Sony to continue releasing big first party games on their old system.

I suspect many people will pay it but I doubt any of them will be happy about it.

The chances of anyone buying the game twice a minimal and not providing an upgrade path leads to the impression that when you read the small print Sony is the worst deal than Microsoft. As the platform holder you would think it will be in Sony‘s best interest to make people want to upgrade from the PS4 to PS5 and having their content improve with the transition would be a good way to persuade people.

It certainly seems like a case of counting the pennies without looking at the bigger picture.

I think they probably got the balance right in terms of overall demand. When I went into my local game to try and pre-order a PS5 they had 1 digital edition left and no physical editions. They failed to sell that digital editions to both the person in front of me in the queue and me.

I think when executives use the words “built from the ground up” they simply mean that the developers are aware but it will be released on the platform during development. For example you could say that death stranding was built from the ground up for PC because the developer was aware that it will be released on PC during development. Where is Horizon zero dawn was not as they had no intention of releasing it on PC during development.

Give him the heads of both PlayStation and Xbox have used it in the same way to describe cross gen games. I suspect their usage is correct. But since the layman seems to misinterpretation think they’re lying they should probably stop using that form of words.

@TheGamerKing The switch only has 32 GB 25 of which are usable for games. There are games like the BioShock Collection that won’t even fit on the internal storage. I doubt the will ever be a PS5 game that you won’t be able to install without a gen 4 nvme in the way that you require an Micro SD card for some switch games.

I get that they sold out for launch day. Shouldn’t you be able to pre-order a PS5 for later delivery. That’s what I did with my PS4.

Ironically the reputational damage suffered by monster energy drink in making this vexatious claim is greater than zero loss they would’ve suffered if gods and monsters had kept its original name.

FinalFantasy 16 Will be which ever game Square decides to attach that title to. It’s not like mainline entries have the same world or any characters in common with each other.

Playing through Fairytail.

@rjejr The advantage of Microsoft approach in having different names for the disk and diskless consoles. Is that they can write Xbox series X on the disk and it will play on every Xbox series X. Nowhere will it say Xbox series S so you don’t have to worry about confusion.

This, The Avengers and the Sword Art Online game are all things that I’ve decided not to get on the current generation. But which I may get on the next generation if that fixes the frame rate.

@Anti-Matter I don’t think there is anything on the Tony Hawk‘s Pro Skater 1 and 2 disk apart from for tutorial and the warehouse. It was not a problem for me as the game had finished downloading by the time I’d completed the tutorial.

I’m intending to play this on PS5. Hopefully the digital foundry types will do an analysis to tell me whether that would fix the problems.
