I think this is a good choice. As a huge fan of ST: Voyager, Tim has a great sci-fi actor voice, and I believe he'd be able to emulate Lance's vocals well.

@Maaster89 Good games! I didn't get the Plat in R2 due to needing 10,000 multiplayer kills, but R2's online co-op was next level at the time

I own the original and have been playing it on emulation, and man, this game is so hard with the original controls. It's fun as hell but it sure can get frustrating when your fingers start twisting into knots. Can't wait to see how the new controls work and if it makes it too easy

PS5 Digital $349; Disc $399;
PS5 Pro Digital $499

I love the atmosphere of the game. I give it an 8. The quest structure can be very fetch-quest style, which is a bummer, but still a very good game overall. I'm only 18 hours in too, so I've got a bit still to do.

@anoyonmus yeah like DualSense features, better textures, etc. The stuff they did for GoT is what I'm thinking

This is most likely going to be a "Director's Cut" like Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding with a $10 upgrade. I'd be down for that, but nothing more than that

Just like Skyrim, if you got a cash cow, milk it. If it really is that good, people will buy it again. It's doubtful it will tarnish the publisher or developer. Even though it can be frustrating in some circumstances, I'm glad Sony opened up the PS5 for developers to charge whatever they want for the products they worked so hard on. In most cases, they deserve it.

@MisterXpoSay I bet you they could make a digital-only PS4 "Switch" with ease by now. Just comes down to how lucrative it would be for the company. I play my Switch 90% docked, but not sure how others play it.

If they released a PC launcher and made the minimum required specs close to the PS5 to play the PS5 exclusive games, then I could see how that would work. The other launcher companies are probably paying them to not do it, though.

Bigger textures make for bigger file sizes, even if you compress them down. This will more than likely be the norm for all PS5 games. Thankfully they have all of the compression tech in the PS5, or they'd be even bigger!

I've traditionally been an anti-ActiBlizz AND Microsoft person for most of my life. MS scorned me way back and I apparently still hold a grudge to this day haha. I may give their smaller games a shot every now and then, but I've never been a big fan of the other games anyway. They're just cash cows with tons of MTXs in them, so I'm good. There are plenty other shooters, MMOs, and platformers out there that I can enjoy.

They need to make PS Now a streaming service for everything. Stream your PS5/PS4 games from PS Now on the go, even if you don't have it downloaded directly to your console, but you own them. That's a service that Sony needs to have. Heck, throw in PS3 game for that matter. The way PS Now is right now needs to go and it needs to be integrated into your entire digital catalog.

My assumption is the developer puts most of the important things to read in the first quarter of the game, so I'll read whatever I can in that portion, and then sprinkle it in through the rest of the game.

@Matroska I actually agree with this! Rest Mode still crashes on me after nine months of updates. It's getting ridiculous that they haven't fixed it yet! There, I turned a tongue-in-cheek comment into a legit comment for you. FTW

@Olmaz I would also add that the PS5 SSD is a 12-channel single-layer SSD, so devs can pull whatever they want whenever they want to with no other requirements. Which is also what makes this SSD so special. Most SSDs are something like 6 or 8-channel and dual-layered, so there are requirements for reading and writing data to those two layers that could potentially slow up the SSD, or at minimum make the devs have to get creative, like they have to do with HDDs, just not as much so.

How could Sony have even thought their initial tactic was even good? It was a convoluted mess from the get-go! Why would you not allow someone to upgrade/downgrade to begin with? $80 or you're screwed with only one option? Whoever came up with that strategy was just a straight up idiot.

With his main special moves being "The Flop" and "Running to the Bench Crying Like a Baby"

@NorrinRadd Honestly, to me, Brady is the only exciting thing about the NFL anymore, and I don't even like him either haha

"Death by Disco" all over again... 😥 wakes up in a cold sweat

@Total_Weirdo I'm sure Marky Mark would give you a hug for calling him young haha

So this is only coming to the PS5? If it's for the next-gen PSVR headset then the graphics are lacking substantially. I wonder if they made a mistake in marketing. This looks very much like a current-gen PSVR game (that you can play on a PS5).

Honestly, looking back, I have never finished a ZeniMax game, which says all I really need to say. They're great to start out, but generally so bloated and boring by about 20 hours in that I never really feel bad about moving on. So, no, I'm not going miss them coming to PlayStation.

There are such an incredible amount of games coming out nowadays that I completely forgot about this one. I'm perfectly happy to wait till it's ready.

My biggest expectation that most don't usually talk about is that it becomes a PC-compatible headset as well. If it's going to have a one-USB-C cord hookup, it can literally go with any VR compatible PC/laptop. This would heavily increase the amount of sales it could have. With PlayStation doing more PC stuff these days, it's not out of the realm of possibility.
As far as cool upgrades to the headset versus PSVR:
1) incredibly intuitive controllers
2) inside-out tracking
3) better resolution
4) smaller frame
