Just got the lovecraftian bundle for cheap which has ps5 versions of sinking city and sherlock holmes awakened for I think 8 quid. Considering sh awakened is showing as full price on its on

@carlos82 exactly. If they prove later that cam do quality at 60fps then I am straight in there. I am not a pc player nor would I move to pc, but I need that excitement for the next ps machine

The Last of Us Part 2: The clip shown in the presentation operates at the same native 1440p rendering resolution as the performance mode in the standard PS5 game. However, PSSR is used instead of a more basic upscale, giving a presentation comparable with native 4K. Why didn't Naughty Dog increase resolution? Well, PSSR has a computational cost on its own, while various elements such as post-processing are likely running at native 4K resolution.

Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart: The footage looks to show much the same visual feature set as the existing Performance RT mode. However, internally rendering resolution varies between 1440p and 1800p, with a pass of PSSR to deliver a 4K output.

Alan Wake 2: There isn't much video here, but there are clearly 30fps and 60fps modes, targeting 1260p and 864p respectively. Again, as the footage was easily countable, we're confident this is using PSSR. Screen-space reflections are evident in the 60fps mode, but they are not in 30fps, suggesting RT may be in play.

Gran Turismo 7: Adding quarter res (1080p) ray-traced reflections in gameplay has a hit on GPU performance, so internal resolution drops in the clips seen to 1188p and - again - PSSR upscaling is used for a 4K output.

@carlos82 means you have not sat through the digital foundry podcast. They have received the high rez presentation to properly compare the titles. Literally all of the games you mentioned are upscale versions of the performance modes not the quality modes. I think they look really good but as I have said they will be missing the effects in quality mode

@carlos82 I know that's the point of ps5pro but what I don't think you have understood so far is that all of the games shown, are only showing the ps5 base performance mode with upscale in resolution. That is not quality mode in 60fps. That is my whole point. Why are they not showing the quality mode at 60fps. It gets me worried

@get2sammyb I know that's what was said, but having looked into every game digital foundry has compared, it is the performance modes that have been shown off, still running 60fps but with higher resolutions. The graphic mode clips which have been shown very short bursts, are still 30fps. The base resolutions have also dropped in the games like gt7 for instance, so has gone from 4k to 1200ish and the upscale. That is certainly not what I was expecting of this console. I have been day 1 on pretty much every Sony console, but this I have doubts with.
I should add I also buy most accessories (except fancy controllers) like the ps4pro, psvr 1 and 2, the Portal, pstv. So I don't tend to listen to negative vibes from people. It's just this is not exciting me about something new it brings.
Even those things I listed above that I have bought were for reason. Pstv was for remote play in another and vita games on tv, vr obviously playing vr, portal playing more time and anywhere in the house. Ps4pro was to upgrade the TV and appreciate the bump on quality plus the added modes due to the checkerboard rendering that was night and day above ps4.

I will probably be as close to first place in line to get a pro. But I would like to pull up Mark Cerny on his 9 minute video. Specifically about people choosing performance mode over graphics quality mode. He stared that with the pro we shouldn't have to choose between performance or quality and that it would be quality mode at 60fps. However, every demo so far has been performance mode that had been up rezzed. My issue is that performance modes, drop out graphics settings like ray tracing and other special effects are reduced, as well a draw distance, foliage and how many npc on screen at once.
I don't want an enhanced 60fps performance mode, I am a console graphics junkie, I want quality mode running super smooth with further graphical enhancements to get near to near high end settings.
It does put doubts in my mind about ordering one. I will probably pre order but if it doesn't improve come week of release I will likely cancel, as chances of selling on for a profit will be next to none.

I own the following ff games but have never actual gotten around to playing them:
ff7 original, ff remake (ps4 and ps5), ff13, ff13 pt2, ff13 pt3, ff14, ff15
I bought into the hype of getting then or they were free on ps plus. However, I hate turn based games and I don't actually know how these games play, and it's never clear until you actual start. That's why they keep getting pushed back for games I know I will enjoy. I wouldn't know where to start in my list and I certainly wouldn't buy any more as the games are too long.

Just playing through fallen order at the moment. Very much enjoying it too. Haven't had a story game grip me for a while.

Secret Agent Clank.. whoopa... I have not been able to buy this on the vita so I can finally play it

Would be cool if the retro.fittwd the original and opened it back up

@AdamNovice they should find a way to rebuild them with better memory resource, the game is not bigger than a ac valhalla/gta online/ffxiv so I cannot understand their previous excuses.

How about giving back paid expansions and original campaign first. It's been six years sincing playing and it had replay value

Only bought two brand new games this year so far. Helldivers 2 I regret, is just not for me and I had feeling that would be the case, and Astro Bot which I told my 8 year daughter was for her (as playroom is her favourite game) but it's secretly for me. I thought Ratchet and Clank was my go to platformed, but this has now over took it. Completed first level to max. I was just so fun and I will be jumping back on later

How did this pass the quality test from bungie? The Sony gatekeepers for live online service.
Did they see this being a disaster and let it happen focus move off them and the destiny 2 sh*t show that has happened since they vaulted content.
The gate keepers that blocked an actual live service game in Factions 2 that punters wanted (even if it turned out crap it would sell a ton based on the original)
I just don't know what has happened, but I know I would not touch Marathon based on what happened with Destiny franchise, and would not touch Fairgames based on it looking like a payday knockoff

Finished it a couple or months ago but nwwd to do Dlc areas I really enjoyed the game. Have only played ds1 and demon souls remake so far, and really enjoyed it. I played it at same time as ac odyssey, so was great playing two very different types of combat at the same time. My big decision as I own all of the soulsbourne games (and most of their copycats) is which to play next. Do I play in order of release so bb, ds3, sekiro, er or do I complete the ds triology?

Mote than usual but that's due to the Portal creating more time to play.

@Troubbble I found it very respondant and didn't notice lag or I adjusted to it very quickly. I played ac odyssey a lot, nfs unbound, tina tinas wonderlands, astrobot, horizon fw, metal hellsinger and had no issues. As you can see that's a variety of types pf games with different response times required.
Yes I did have drops from occasions at launch but is been great since and sometimes on first login it's messy but if you disconnect and reconnect straight away it's perfect.

Simply unlock ps portal to stream ps plus. Make it so that it's baseline ps4 streaming or possibly ps4 pro if you have that system. Then ensure that if you are an active ps5 user, then it upgrades to streaming ps5 games. I am sure this will incentives subscriptions and systems

Wasn't mad on the first game but can see they could really take it somewhere with the experience and probably bigger budget

@Sacrosanctus I think they have to. This game is the epitome of one and done 0oay for the majority of players. It's a great interactive movie but once you have seen the ending, I don't think there is a compelling reason or will to replay just to see different scenarios. Especially with the twist of the story and after that point it is pointless. I would more likely be tempted to pay an upgrade fee than for it outright again.

@WaveBoy actually I felt the discomfort with nose but the motion sickness to be improved

Mine arrived yesterday. Only played a little bit as had to charge the controllers first. Walking Dead Saints and Sinners seems really good. I struggled with the original resolutions on psvr and got motion sickness pretty quickly. Didn't feel this yesterday

Must resist fourth controller...... just bought psvr2 on offer so that kind of stops me.

@Max_the_German sorry I know it streams on a separate chip at 1080p60fpshdr, however, what I am saying is that if it could convert the main system to 1080p super sample and stream that, then it would be even better? I am guessing that the chip for streaming is having to convert the TV output image from 4k to 1080p, so it will unlikely be doing a super sample, and if the image for tv is already switched to 1080p then there would be less grunt?

I wished they integrated output to 1080 when you connect via portal. It would then super sample but also reduce data being streamed making even more stable.

That link you can change to reflect all different regions for ps store too so you can see which has the best deals

@Golem25 yes I am finding the campaign to be boring, especially the whole calendar, where you don't know what car you going to need to get you through and not earning enough at the beginning to have enough cars with various ratings required, let alone tune them up to be competitive

@Czar_Khastik deals, not massive but deffo some
https://psdeals.net/gb-store?platforms=ps3

The two R's for me. Ratchet and Remnant

@Czar_Khastik fed up of waiting to see if remasters or back compatibility ever comes about. So been using a site that tells you all the ps3 store deals and couldn't resist

Arghh... I just had to drop all other games to complete tiny tina wonderlands since the last announcement of leavers. Now I gotta do the same for nfs unbound.
I will never get to my backlog of purchased games and I've been on a ps3 spending spree recently

Happy as no more added to back log as own BL3 and can drop in and out of nhl hockey whenever I feel like it

@Impossibilium update, went through the downloads list and there 8 or 9 games that are either not there at all or are only trials. Epic mickey and sonic cd show as normal but when you download they are trial versions with no keys. Dead nation is completely missing in action

Hopefully its a big graphical update, as original is a but bland but it was an early 360 title

Thankfully nothing to add to the backlog this month, which seems rather silly saying but it's getting too big. Already have BL3 in backlog, personally no interest in among us, as don't like graphic style or multilayer games, and although NHL is probably good, I didn't really play the previous ones on plus despite loving it back in the megadrive days. I like the occasional match in fifa as I love footy and used to love the footy games but just don't have spare time to commit to those one offs and single games nowadays.

@Impossibilium I am not sure which list I have checked, bit will definitely use that one now as my spot check. What I had initially done, was go to store, all games in a to z order and then go through ticking off on the sheet.
So green for those showing full game purchased
Orange as delisted so not in store and therefore check against downloads
Blue where it's now showing trial purchased but main game as required to buy.

Therefore I need to go through orange and blue in my downloads. I think I have used the one you said in the past, when downloading something back to my hard drive, but I may have used the store one when I was doing this exercise to save coming out of the store app and going back in.
Thank you for the tip though, much appreciated

@MrMagic yes and they are never together either. Wish me luck, I think the download list is around 1500 with lots of nonsense to check through

@MrMagic I am uk too. So no idea what's going on. Going to have to do the painful download list first. You forget how archaic that was on ps3 and how much better ps4 and ps5 did it

How does it compare to ps3 version. I have it but haven't played it. I know with sly game and jak games, the hd collections were supposedly superior to the ps4 emulated ps2 games

I am wondering if games get delisted and then reinstated, whether it is a different version and that is causing an issue. Only speculating but it's a pain.

I have the same issue with sonic cd

@MrMagic tried that, even restored licences on ps3, ps4, ps5 consoles but nothing. Its a painstaking exercise but I am not rebuying. I will raise with sony and if no joy find out next steps

@BetaRabbit64 I am on the ps3, and in the physical ps3 store. It shows other games I have purchased as purchased. But there is a number that now state purchased for the trial version and the main game I need to purchase again. I am currently going through the store and ticking off the 300+ digital games that show in the store as purchased or not purchased, and if they have been delisted I now have to go through the horrendous ps3 download list, that you can't search, filter or sort. Not only that it has the vita library mixed in. But once I have built up my list of issues I will contact sony.

@Arnna yes I have started buying up loads of ps3 games recently building out that library because no chance what I bought will appear on ps plus. However going through I noticed games I owned on the ps3 store now saying I needed to buy. They also have epic mickey 2. That's next on my list

Out of interest, did anyone ever own the digitsl version of castle of illusion remake on ps3. My purchase of the game has changed to trial only and now prompts me to buy. I know I had full game as I have the trophies for completing it.
I then started going through my spreadsheet (very sad I know but I need to keep.track) of my ps3 digital library, both ps plus and purchased and I have quite a few games that now show as trial versions only. Again I have not cancelled ps plus, and bought most games, plus I have trophies for completing. Plus I never download trials. I have restored licences but to no avail.

Does it matter if games come to current only or rival platforms? If the games turn out to be great, can't we just enjoy them on our console of choice. If it be last generation, then you have to settle for an inferior version. If it be xbox, then you settle for series s standard (as that's the most popular.version) or maybe enhanced series x. Games are planned for the masses. I think most games that come out nowadays are far superior to our tinted glasses games of yesteryear. I know as I am playing loads of classics in the back catalogue and even these are enhanced remasters etc.

Ok that means I need to drop the other 8 games I am currently playing through to start tiny tina, no point in paying for increased service and then missing out on the games on wish list and I don't want to have to buy full game

I will happily admit I watch tutorials and read guides. One due to playtime limitations, two there's no real indication of what things do and where to do it in their games, three to maintain fun, lack of progression can put you off. Also just because you watch and read tutorials, does not mean you can actually do the things, one f up and your dead. Lol

Why do they never give us the ps2 versions of psp games
