@MFTWrecks Sony tried an all-digital psp… Didn’t go well. Also, the PS5 digital doesn’t sell at all. It’s like the PS audience is still not ready to go digital, unlike the Xbox crowd.
@TheFakulty Again. Disagree with most. The PC version is already scaled enough to run on a PC that’s weaker than a Series S. All the devs have to do is determine what the best configuration for Series S would be. You say the word “compromise”. And that is the only thing I agree with. But the game is already compromised for PCs that still use a freaking 1060 in 2024. Compromise would be if their vision is hindered by a hardware that’s far lower than the lowest denominator capably, for example, porting the game to Switch.
“Companies are not releasing games for steam deck, they are releasing for steam. Hope that makes sense in what I am saying”
Have you seen the ever growing list of fully Steam Deck compatible games that are possible thanks to the devs being helped by Valve? Even if the game is released on Steam, many of them are making optimizations for Steam Deck specifically. Cyberpunk runs really well on SD and blows away the last gen consoles’ versions.
@TheFakulty “This would put the cat amongst the pigeons. And sony could say its only serving its lower common denominator which is ps5 specs. Then xbox would have to lump it or leave it.”
Game’s already on PC, specifically Steam Deck, which is half as powerful as the Series S. Your comment makes no sense
NG+ is an optional feature in any game. It’s not a necessity to enjoy them. If NG+ is needed in a game, then it was not a good game to begin with. Nothing will change my mind.
@Nowings it’s made by the same team that made the Arkham games set in the same universe and timeline of the recent Arkham games. And yes, that last part of what you said happens
People have to admit that the Alan Wake series is more niche than we think. This is not about it being digital only, but the fact that people just didn’t wanted to play it.
ND and Sony are charging full price for a remaster that looks almost identical to the PS4 Pro version game. This is a cash grab. Buying the ps4 version used and just paying the $10 “upgrade” is a better investment. That’s why people are upset.
This looks cool in theory, but we know people will misuse the controller and potentially cause accidents… or worse. Perhaps the vehicle will implement many limitations to prevent crashes. Also, the last time a controller was used to steer an important motorized machine, it didn’t end well.
@Nei I remember when I was so broke that the Wii browser was the best thing I could use 😂😂 Edge on xbox is decent, though I haven’t tried the ps5 browser yet

Re: Silent Hill: The Short Message (PS5) - There's a Reason It's Free

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?
@Bagwag82 I wanted games actually made by Sony’s own studios…. Everything shown were third party timed exclusives
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?

Re: Video: The Last Of Us 2 PS5 vs PS4 Graphics Comparison
@VaultGuy415 40K?!?! Where would I get a TV with that resolution?
As expected, the changes are not that noticeable to dish full price. Get a used ps4 disc and pay the $10 fee

@boogieman117 TGA draws a lot of audience, so of course publishers will take advantage of that to announce their new games.
