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...

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 😁👍

I love Super Mario Galaxy, but this game blows all the other Mario 3D games to bits.
Astrobot have raised the bar for 3D platformers.
I really hope this is a huge seller.
We need more FUN games like this from Sony.

"Some slowdowns"?
In performance mode, the framerate mostly
stays in the 40:s, during actionscenes, outside of the VRR range...

Another game, that will benefit, from the Pro model.

The Graphics mode is locked 30 though.

What a glorious day.
Let's hope that Sony cancels their future Live Service games, and focus on what they are good at. Single player games.

I got my copy today.
Only played for an hour, but SPOILERS this is already my GOTY.
After a very stressful summer, this is exactly what I needed

I hope this sells well now, so we get more games like this from SONY.

"Great", even more trash from Blizzard...

Screw the developers. They've been very toxic to people. They should listen to the criticism, so they can improve/change the things people don't like, instead of calling people hacks.

If workers built a house, and the end result is a terrible unstable mess, then we should have all the rights, to tell them so.
Stop pampering developers of bad games.

Power Stone 3, please.

Used to be a Star Wars fan, until Disney butchered the franchise. The game looked promising, when they revealed it. But as with all modern Star Wars, it ends up being *****.

If you're stupid enough, to pay $110, to play a Ubisoft game three days earlier, then this is what you deserve.

Modern Star Wars and Ubisoft, I expected nothing more, than mediocre, and that's what we got.

Raising the price of the PSVR2 sure ain't the best idea. 😂

No it can't be saved.
Can we just bury this game now?
Just let it go Sammy...

PureXbox, gave it an 8.

I'll "rent" it on Ubisoft+.
After what I've seen so far, I'm keeping my expectations very low.

I'll get it. if Pro patches means even more games running in 120fps, and Sony's own upscaling, is better than FSR.
UE5 titles, like Wukong, would benefit from better hardware, as we're back to 1080p, when playing in performance mode.
And OG PS5, already shows signs of dropping frames in other games as well. Armored Core 6, drops to 40fps, during intense battles, even in performance mode. Which is outside of the VRR range. And talking about VRR, I hope the Pro, widens that range, down to at least 40 fps.

They spent 8 years making this?!?!
If someone put "make generic multiplayer shooter" in a AI machine, this would be the result.
The market is already oversaturated with this crap, so it isn't exactly surprising the game is a flop.
Sony could have put the money on new Killzone or Resistance games instead, with multiplayer options.

Can't wait to see how it runs on the Pro, in the near future.
Since Quality mode, is unlocked as well, maybe it can get closer to 60 on the Pro. Or at least above 48fps, to stay within the VRR window.

@nitram2k11 When it comes to exclusives, it is.

Why the hell was my post deleted, as trolling/baiting?
It's an opinion. Stop censoring posts, you don't agree with.
It's called free speech.
I'll bet this will be deleted as well...

@Shakybeeves
Go with performance. The other two modes stutters like crazy.
