@JAMes-BroWWWn It seems like they have more teams now than they ever have. Most teams are developing 2-3 titles at once now and PlayStation has partnerships with a number of new studios (Firehaven, Deviation, etc) making exclusives so, call me optimistic, but I think they manpower to pull it off. I hope the quality of their games don’t slip as a result.
This is a good thing. It’s better to have a dedicated team handling ports instead of the developers having to deal with an additional platform. PC users get a better port since Nixxes are one of the best in the industry, and this allows developers to have more time with whatever they’re working on. A more polished game and less left on the cutting room floor due to time constraints are things we all want.
@Agramonte I got tired of sifting through the eShop titles. It feels like I’m on one of those freeware sites. Also, it’s great for consumers to get a platform-specific trailer so they know how it’ll work on the hardware. Especially since demos aren’t a thing anymore.
@Martijn87 Optical storage is too slow to run games from disc. The game is installed from that, patches are downloaded and everything is run off the internal storage. PS4 was the same.
@Enuo I bought it on launch day and I’m loving the game! The game gives you shortcuts and quickly powers up your proficiency for the biome you’re in so it isn’t a huge loss if you die, especially after beating a boss!
@Rob_230 Some studios just don’t want to be acquired. Sure it provides a financial blanket but you give up your creative freedom in the process. So far this longstanding partnership has been fruitful for Sony and maybe one day they’ll come around like Insomniac.
@Rob_230 Right?? I haven’t seen a physical sale on Demon’s Souls either LOL. It’ll probably go on sale this Xmas when Horizon is released. Maybe a nice $20 off the price, if that.
@get2sammyb Optical jack and USB. Seems like we’ll need to get a new adapter from Astro which they’ll announce later this month for $30 iirc. I believe there’s going to be a discount for current headset owners too.

@Blacksmith1985 I’d buy it for a dollar but definitely not 70. Dead or alive, it’s not coming with me.

Re: Dead By Daylight Hooks Fifth Anniversary Celebrations for All Players
@Amusei I started playing it on PS4 Pro and it’s decent as long as literally nothing else is going on.
Finish a gen? It hitches.
Finish the last gen? You’d better hope you aren’t near the killer for the next 1-1.5 secs.
On PS5? It’s gorgeous and runs flawlessly at 60FPS. Well, as gorgeous as it can be. They’re constantly redoing the assets, which is nice.

I won’t acknowledge Game Boost as a feature until Sony releases a 4K60 patch for Bloodborne lol.

Re: PS4 Games Will Take Advantage of PS5's New User Experience Features
@get2sammyb Quick Resume is still faster than a cold boot. Don’t need to worry about menus and such either. If there are no downsides, why not do it?

Re: PS5's 3D Audio Will Almost Certainly Work with Your Existing Headphones
@Ha1frican They announced they’ll release an Optical-HDMI adapter sometime this month and will be discounted for Astro users upon proof of ownership.
