@Arugula I agree I wouldn’t want this, sorry but automatically recording you should be an opt in... not opt out! No matter why it’s doing it. I think Sony may find themselves in hot water down the road with this ability to record party chats whenever you want.

@Esuazo10 Totally 100% agree, loved everything about the game bar the story which was crap, and purposely made to be divisive, and it lacked the link between the two characters you had in the first game, and replaced it with hate instead. The ending was just a lazily written joke that was a cheap way to get shocks and destroyed the story even more. TLOU never needed a sequel and everyone knew it, the story was written for one to exist and surveys nothing to promote it beyond that. IMO. If I paid £69 for it I’d be a tad upset for sure.

@lacerz I’ll go by the Digital Foundry video thanks where I can see for myself the Series X performing better.

Capitalism at work. Love it or hate it they are just doing what every business does, supply and demand.

@lacerz Apart from COD where the PS5 can’t handle 60FPS and ray tracing you mean, unlike the Series X running at a locked 60. Stick to the facts eh.

@AJDarkstar lol ok whatever. Think what ever you want if it helps you sleep better at night.

@Robinsad Yeah it is, and now Sony are going to copy it.

@AJDarkstar Does it offer first party AAA games say and date? And when it launched wasn’t it purely based on streaming and you couldn’t download any games?

Lots and lots of PS5 issues I see... early adopters / beta testers..

Sorry don’t agree with this, partly as it most definitely was NOT invented in 2020!!!.... and it isn’t worthy of being on the list even if it was. Neither is the Xbox. Game Pass is though as that is something new and a bit revolutionary to gaming IMO.

@Toypop Yeap, the Series X Valhalla being the perfect example, if you use VRR the screen tearing in the game almost disappears.. apparently Ubisoft will patch it for everyone else, but the worry is devs won’t spend the time and resources of their games and instead rely on VRR to fix their issues. So a tiny percentage of people will get smooth gameplay thanks to lazy devs looking to maximise profit. We will see how it turns out... so far the PS5 is doing alright without VRR, I hope it’s introduction doesn’t change that.

@RayNick Yes they have a lot of new faces now, I like Jack Trenton or is it Treton? He was cool and down to earth. And Kaz Riidge Racer. Lol. To me Phil Spencer is much more likeable then Ryan is.

As for the game prices they are too high, for instance people buy COD at launch but play it all year long and get its value, they buy a Sony single player exclusive for more and play it once and that’s it. As for any reference to a cinema, cinemas do not make any money on ticket sales, up to 90% of the sales go directly to the film distributors and studios. Cinemas literally only exist cause of their food sales hence the high prices. But now many have closed for good. It’s not really the same as Sony take a nice cut from every games sale..

@HotGoomba___Rebrand I’m not getting mad you clown lol... I think it’s a stupid marketing campaign, but hey if it works for them then why not? You seem to be over sensitive to people not liking the brand? Do you work for them? I understand perfectly well, according to you, Dbrands marketing is based around then insulting their customers and showing them contempt, as you think, a joke. It’s not rocket science so less if the assumptions from you eh.

@graysoncharles What do politics have to do with anything? And you could do with seeking some manners and cut the insults out.

@HotGoomba___Rebrand Haha so you enjoy a company insulting you, and you buy their products because if it? Obviously some people have never had any manners?

What an arrogant bunch of ‘*****’ Dbrand are! they will have lost customers with those words. One way to run your business treating your customers with utter contempt and insult them publicly.

@0851D14N Not 100% but I think TLOU2 has some? I’d have to double check, not many it’s mostly the third parties, especially EA, who will want their cash. I guess we need to wait and see if all games are increased to 69 or if it’s just first party ones?

@NeuralDeclan Oh absolutely the impressions of the dual sense are great, the only concern is how much developers will use it.

@NeuralDeclan Simple really, different design focuses. For Microsoft the focus was on the machine itself, so they spent time splitting the mother board and building a fast powerful system and heavily thought about the cooling. They didn’t spend money on a new controller or operating system.
Sony spent money in a new console but went for a cheaper simpler console design with one board and copies what they’ve done before. They spent the rest of their money and time on a new controller and operating system. Also that’s why the PS5 BC isn’t as good as the XSX.

It’s utterly arrogant of them to even think of this, sorry but when your competition is offering stunning value with Game Pass, you can’t come along and request to charge 80 quid or more for a game that’s not doubt stuffed full of in app purchases. And considering those in app purchases are netting billions for game devs annually then they can do one frankly! Pure unadulterated greed.
Get rid of ALL in app purchases, then we can talk about the games price!
Sonys ridiculous games prices are one of the reasons I’m considering a Series X over a PS5, so to think they wanted to price them higher is disgraceful.

I don’t bother playing my PS4 Pro at night anymore, it’s too loud and it even vibrates the room below it!

Those extra XP and load out slots are really unfair! As you’ll be able to use them in cross platform games. That’s not right, those all should be limited to PS vs PS online games ONLY.

By the time they get that cheque book out, everyone who is decent will have already been bought... Microsoft and others seem to be very keen to buy the best talent and biggest IP’s up and fast.

I’d really like to know if it has any sort of Quick Resume feature like the Series X, and if not how fast is it to swap games? That are on the SSD and not blue ray.

The game looks more and more stunning every time you see it! But it’s not so much how quick you can restart, it’s how tough will it be to make you die? Will you be seeing these fast restarts consistently?

Sony’s resources were all out into the PS5 new UI, they gave the job of redesigning the web interface to the janitor....I hate no titles under the icons and no screenshots or videos.

@Subsided Well in the U.K. on streaming services, Cineworld is closing all its cinemas globally including the U.K., I wouldn’t want to go anywhere near a cinema for some time yet! Apple apparently are interested in buying the new James Bind film to screen, and Amazon will be screening that new disaster film Greenland that was meant to be a summer blockbuster but has never made it to the big screens. So expect a film like this and others to be on streaming services, or delayed until 2022.

@thejameswhogames Wow that’s generous!

Wow he’s sure is a MUCH better fit for playing Sully then Tom is for playing Nathan.

@EVIL-C EXACTLY what I thought as a first reaction.

I have to say he doesn’t suite the character, his face is just too dissimilar to Drakes. Will be an interesting film see if it’s half decent, but as it’s based on a game like every other film that has been I won’t hold my breath...

Oh look it’s got a GPS so the ‘athletes’ can track their movements from the bathroom to their bedrooms and back again, oh and let’s not forget the kitchen and fridge...

Somehow I don’t think they the words ‘athlete’ and ‘E-Sports’ go together..

Well, unless new games engines prove otherwise, it seems the PS5 may be incapable of 4K 60 with ray tracing, so in that case we should have 1440p checker boarding to 4K 60 with ray tracing.

@theheadofabroom Lol if you think Sony will force its system performance to be reduced on the name of fan noise levels.

Hmm so does that mean in some games it’ll scream like a jet taking off, again, and in others it’ll be silent?

I for one think it totally sucks that they have ditched the PSVita!..

Reports like that remind me why it’s such a shame the PS5 Digital looks far better then the disk based version.... I have to agree I do seem to recall through the PS4’s history it has been the same titles (noticeably first party ones) going on sale under different theme umbrellas. Gotta say on the Xbox they don’t do that and offer other games too. With Gamepass though Sony had better change their tune in the new gen as they possibly may lose some developers to the dark side....

@DaruniaJones88 In your situation you could get the PS5 digital edition and then wait for games to go sale in the store? That may be the best option for you?

@Col_McCafferty To me only Naughty Dog are good at storylines, I find Horizons story to be flat and boring by comparison, it doesn’t have the spells the ND games do with their writing, so in that case I do actually find some Xbox games surpass Sonys story’s. Of course opinions will be varied on that.

@BAMozzy A brilliant summary of the situation Gamepass will help with.

@Balosi I’m so impressed with BOTH companies I am struggling to decide which console to buy, that’s how good to me Xbox are now, but to me they also had great games with Forza and Gears Of War, Sonys games for a bit stale towards the end feeling like the over the shoulder story simulators they are. Feeling a bit samey.
So I’m not pessimistic at all about either company.

@Balosi Not to the same value though, not just for PlayStation anyway have they? A lot of Sony’s key players were there from the very start, indeed the CEO of Polyphony began his career by being the note taker at all of Sony’s PlayStation meetings in its very early beginnings.

@TheFrenchiestFry Absolutely, I applaud him for what he’s achieved. Especially with the idea of GamePass. It will certainly be a closer race this time. I’m also interested to see what their new AAA studio The Initiative makes especially with all the ex Naughty Dog employees they’ve hired.

@Balosi You misread my comment, I was referring to how Sony has concentrated on exclusive games since day one of PlayStation. Although I see more and more of them coming to PC.

@God_of_Nowt Indeed the way Phil has turned Xbox around in a relatively short time shows he is far from ‘stupid’ and a bit of a visionary.

Not surprising in the slightest, in fact expected really. And it’s only what Sony have been doing for years. It’s a good move by Microsoft.

You can actually see the lower quality of the game running at 60FPS, the lack of ray tracing particularly.

That must be 9 exclusives at launch, 9!! Microsoft has one if The Medium is a lunch game for the Series X and S..... it’s beginning to look a lot like a repeat of this gen.. one platform has games one doesn’t...

@Heurtaux305 If you look it was a large sticker he removed to get to the plug, this was removed after the warranty sticker from what I could tell.
