I hate when these companies, get stuck milking the same franchise, over and over again.

I miss the classic PS3/PS4 wave in the background.
Clean and simple looking.
Some might find the Nintendo Switch UI boring, but at the moment, it's the best one.

Prime example, why I've gotten bored with gaming lately.
I had fun with Stellar Blade and Astro Bot, but that's it, and nothing upcoming that excites me either.

Tried Star Wars Outlaw, for about 5 hours, until I got bored. Because hidden behind the IP, it's still the same Ubi crap.

Even if it was running in 8K 240fps, it would still be the same boring game.

The only game I've seen, so far, that looks MUCH better, is FF VII Rebirth.

In Sweden, the Pro sells at equal to $1000...
I need something much more exciting than this, to pay that money for a console.

Still not gonna replay it, even if the remaster was free.

This is one of those games, that I play once, and never again. The graphics and combat is great, but all the rest, was just beyond boring.
Aloy and the rest of the cast, are so boring and forgettable.

These remasters are so damn pointless.
But I'll bet we see one for the sequel as well, in a near future. Probably in time for the launch of the PS6...

Ghost of Yotei, and...that's it, for me.

They wasted so much time on that crappy Dragon Age game.

The showcase, is at midnight for us in Sweden.
After this, I'm gonna skip it, and just read about it tomorrow.
So far I see nothing worth staying awake for.

There are countries, BLOCKED from using PSN, with no way, for those gamers, to play the games. I have a friend in Russia, who can't play the games, due to this crap.

Yet again my post was NOT TROLLING!!
Didn't you read through the post???
I gave good reasons.

"State of Remasters"

Do people here, understand that PSN isn't available worldwide?

And people calling the PC gamers crybabies?
Who were the crybabies, when Sony started to release games on PC? 😂

There are crybabies and a**holes in both fronts.

Either Sony has to make PSN available, worldwide, or remove it on PC.

" Sony Believed It Was the 'Future of PlayStation'"
And what a terrible future that would have been.

@TurboTom
As someone who is both a console and PC gamer, both sides are just as annoying.

Ghost of Tsushima is the only one I bought on PC.
Looks amazing in 21:9.
The other ones just isn't my cup of tea anymore.
There is so much competition on PC, due to the massive amount of games released on Steam, every day. So ports of old Playstation games, isn't as exciting anymore. Most PC people that enjoy Sony exclusives, usually own a PS console as well. Even though they look even better on PC, most of these games , just don't have much of a replay value.

Those cons are basically the same problem, I have with most modern JRPG:s.

I just can't keep up with this series.
When I'm done with one game, I'm pretty burned out for a while.
And before I get to the next one, yet another game/spin-off is released. Lol.

At least, it's a series, that you don't have to wait an entire console gen, until the next game.

I hate companions in these games.
They just never stop talking, or pointing out obvious things. And everytime you wanna explore, "No, this way, where are you going?"...
Kratos did just fine, going solo, in the PS2/PS3/PSP games.
I wish you could just kick the kid off a cliff.

When we got the news, that the PS5 would be backwards compatible with the PS4, I thought it would be the end of these remasters of recent games.
Instead, it got even worse...

And now the FOMO crowd, that didn't plan to buy the Pro, throws the money at the screen. Lol.

You just know, that the developers, will use this new upscaler, as a crutch for even more badly "optimized" games...
But still, it looks WAY better than FSR.
Wish Sony did a better job at showing this off, in the presentation, instead of those short blurry clips.

Lol. Just imagine all the remasters/remakes of PS5 games, that Sony will sell during the PS6 generation.

Classic? Way to early for that.
I would call the first three games classics though.
I still want a return, to that old-school GOW style and gameplay...

"Square Enix has also admitted it’ll be aggressively pursuing a multiformat strategy moving forwards."

Yeah, like you should have done from the beginning.
Idiots...

@get2sammyb

I bought the PS5 for native next gen exclusives, everything else I can play on PC.

I don't have a backcatalog. After gaming for 45 years, I don't have the patience to play everything. I just pick the ones that look the most interesting to me, and worth my time.

There are maybe 8-10 games, I look forward to, and none of them is exclusive to the PS5.

I wish I could find 100 games that interested me 😂

Finished Astrobot now.
Nothing else to play.
Back into the box it goes, until the next big exclusive. So... maybe next year?

This is one of those few games, that I wish never ends.
Thankfully, the replay value, in these Astro games, are very high.

I can't stand Geoff.

@Icey664
Yeah, it's like he's never been outside his house, claiming that girls like that, don't exist.

@Icey664
Alex did, not the other guys.
Especially John loves the game.

I have zero expectations about 2025 and beyond.
More cinematic third-person games, I guess.
Only reason I kept my PS5 up until now, was for Stellar Blade and Astro Bot, and I bet we'll have to wait a long time, for another exclusive game like those two.
So I guess, it's back into the box after finishing Astro.
I mostly game on PC anyways, and only use the PS5 for exclusives. Unless things change, in the next 3-4 years, this will be my last PS console.

At the moment, I have much more fun, with my modded PS2, and discovering games, I missed back then.

Not surprising.
Japan doesn't care about consoles anymore, only handhelds.

And when are they gonna include digital sales?
I'm the only one, among my friends, that still buys physical, so we sure are a dying breed.

Gonna be like with the PS4 Pro, some games gets better performance on the release of the upgraded console, and then it's back to 30fps again, when developers goes all in on the graphics instead.

But maybe they can include a 40fps mode. Something I wish more developers did, when a game can't lock to 60.

I don't understand why they did the same mistake, as with the PS4 Pro, and didn't use a more powerful CPU, to avoid bottlenecks like this. But then they would probably have added another $100-200 to the price...

Definitely the worst console gen, so far.
I wish Xbox had made a 360 styled comeback this gen. We need that competition...

@Mikey856
Go back under the bridge, troll 👾

@Mikey856
Are you really that clueless?
Good luck with using your phone, when mixing music in the studio, and doing editing/color correction etc, in videos.
There is so much more use of a PC, than a phone, you fool.

Stuff like this, make me miss old Playstation, even more...

@Stickleman
Yeah, and library of games, that would make the PS5 cry.

Oh yeah, "great", let's add 100-150 euros to those 800...

And we thought the PS3 was expensive.

The OG console already does that...

@Mikey856
Sure, but I can do A LOT more with my PC, than with a damn console.

800 Euros, without a drive!?!?
Not a chance in hell!

I'm done with Sony.
Only reason why I kept my PS5, was for Stellar Blade and Astrobot, but when I have finished the games, I'm selling the damn thing. It's mostly been gathering dust anyways, the last two years. And I don't wanna support this greedy company anymore.

I'm sticking with my gaming PC and Nintendo consoles.

I really miss when, consoles were proper consoles...

About that performance mode, it goes as low as 32fps, during parts, with huge amount of enemies on screen. Slight drops right? 😂

I think I need a break from PushSquare...

Never cared about Trophies.
Couldn't imagine wasting all that time, to 100% a game. Especially this turd.

This is the game we all needed now.
It's been a long time, since I played a game, that actually felt like a proper video game.
Now I want a new Ape Escape, after this 😁👍
