Re: PS5's Dust Catchers Will Make for Easy Cleaning

S1ayeR74

Overall I was very impressed with the cooling design and how you can maintain it, they have thought about it being kept clean. And access is really good to the fan. With the Series X it’s restricted and a big box to collect dust and the only way to clean it is take it apart. To me this is a win for Sony.

Re: DIRT 5, Maneater Saves Won't Transfer from PS4 to PS5

@thefourfoldroot Of course it’s a software lock! The PS5 are built in the same X86 architecture as the Xbox One and Series X! It’s foolish to stare this is something to do with the SSD, Sony saying it’s up to the devs is an attempt to hide this fact. Or a lot of devs are incapable of working out how to do it, but I doubt that.

This is kinda a joke to be honest, the Xbox works perfectly fine and it’s using the same hardware basis.. both old and new gen, but Sony can’t or won’t make cross saves work? It has nothing to do with the games and everything to do with Sony’s OS or something software related, this game launches what 2 weeks before the PS5 does yet the saves won’t transfer..

@LiamCroft That’s great that we have an update on this, but also bad as this is from a developer and NOT Sony, who haven’t said a word on this at all. It’s more evidence of rumours being made simply due to a complete lack of facts or information from Sony, 40 odd days from launch! And even then in your story the developer seems to only discuss how there own game will work.

@Flaming_Kaiser Firstly no I don’t only talk about ‘negative’ stuff, or have you only read comments on here? Secondly it’s not nonsense as others on here are repeating the same thing. Sony have never launched a console like this in such secret. And I have never known a game that launched in 6 or 7 weeks to not show any details of gameplay. Please do tell if you know of one.

@JustNeepz No, a faster SSD will not close the gap in graphics performance. That’s a fact, it’s a storage device not a graphics processor. Third party games ran better on the Xbox One X and it will be the same with the Series X. And the TF in the new gen indicate higher performance then in the last gen devices.
Also the Series X is built better for 4K games hence the split memory, it’s more work to code for but yields better performance with 4K games. I can see it comfortably out performing the PS5, people won’t care about faster load times when the picture they are looking at looks better on one over the other.

@hi_drnick Firstyk your point about the PS3 is moot as you literally repeated what I stated, try to come up with something original eh? And it was a failure until they changed it, if the PS4 didn’t succeed the PS3 was such a failure Sony would have closed its PlayStation department, go and look it up. Facts you deny...
And the PSP was a sales joke compared to its competition you know that Nintendo DS.. which sold over 154 million units, again facts you deny and many people questioned Sony making a second handheld due to this. The Vita only managed 16.2 million units sold, a total and utter a failure, and again if you bothered to read my comment properly, instead of seeing select words and trying to come up with a sarcastic arrogant response, you’ll see I stated it could have been great. You’d also see I quoted a selection of the consoles I own including a Vita, so you’ve only made yourself look a bit foolish with your reply.
Sonys arrogance nearly killed PlayStation, it remains to be seen if they have repeated that mistake with the PS5 because so far they are not doing a very good job.

@hi_drnick FYI PSP flopped in sales, PSVITA they dropped support for it very early when it could have been great and instead sold it as an accessory to your PS4.. also the PS3 flopped until they redesigned it and slashed its price, then it sold more, up to that point the Xbox 360 was outselling it regularly. And I have a launch PSP and I have a Vita and a PS3 slim and had a PS4 Fat, and had several Xbox 360’s.

@Eadgar Ah in that case you are right, they have shown Gears 5 running on the Series X which looked fantastic it had to be said, and Minecraft, also tech demos of both showing raytracing and HDR enhancements. It was in Austin Evans video from months ago! Since then there has been one game shown on the Series X, can’t even remember what it was but it wasn’t anything big or special. But they showed a gameplay demo reel for the Series S at its launch?
We know all about the Xbox console but next to nothing about the games, and we know mostly about the PS5 games but next to nothing about the console. Very strange indeed.

The biggest thing we don’t know is how loud it is! Would everyone be happy if you had another PS4 Pro in front of you? Forcing you to wear headphones or turn the TV volume to max just so you can play a game comfortably? I hate how loud my PS4 Pro is, and my launch PS4 was too loud too.. it does in fact put me off using my Pro, and no I’m not going to wear headphones to make up for Sony’s poor design choices.

@kyethegr8t No you clearly don’t understand marketing, this is one crap, like really crap, marketing job. It’s a joke to be honest in the games industry as a whole. I have never known a game that can be pre ordered for £70 and it comes out in what 6 weeks and you cannot see any gameplay of it. Or find out how the game actually plays. Add to that a console that you cannot see, basically Sony has totally and utterly failed to connect with Social Media for its marketing, Microsoft has been heavily embracing it for several months now and make Sony look very amateurish.
All we’ve basically had is Sony showing some game gameplay off and nothing else. And Microsoft showing the console off and no gameplay. Now I can understand the games not being ready due to Covid, but then does that mean the PS5 isn’t ready due to Covid too but is going to launch anyway? Yeah I can see that not ending well..

Re: Rapper Travis Scott Has a PS5

@Medic_Alert haha yeah it took them a mi h or two to show the back of the console after showing the front even! That’s kinda pathetic really. It’s drip feeding information purely for the sake of drip feeding it. Next they’ll show you the power on beeps, a week later the lights on the front. A week later the boot up screen....

Re: Gamers Will Happily Pay $70 for PS5 Games, Argues Analyst

S1ayeR74

Hhahahahahahahahaha what analyst is this? ‘Happily’ pay it, erm no.. in a totally unsafe unknown financial landscape when no one knows if they will be keeping there jobs or not now, no one will happily pay £70 for a game, much more in some countries, due to greed. I say greed as I understand developers and publishers have been earning record profits before this price increase..

Re: Future Bethesda Games Could Still Come to PlayStation Despite Xbox Ownership

@Oz_Momotaro Firstly so how do you o ow how much they make from Game Pass? Did you just multiply the subscription cost by 15 million? That leaves out a LOT of variables I’d you did
Secondly Game Pass is not their only source of income.
And thirdly it’s business if they wish to charge Sony console owners full price, of course they will do that and that’s IF they decide to put those games on competitor platforms. They could even put DOOM on the Switch and ignore the PlayStation.
Sony is likewise buying up paid timed exclusives left and right, and they have done for ages. This is Xbox’s I have to say brilliant brutal reply to that action.
