Disappointing, for sure. Bloober finally got their sh*t together and released a fantastic game, and now this…
I sincerely hope they’re able to rectify this with an updated patch, which we now know they’re working on. The game is utterly fantastic and deserves to shine on the Pro! They should talk to Shift Up, because that Pro patch is how it’s done! ☑️

This game plays great on PS5, so… NOPE

@Vivisapprentice Knock knock.
Who’s there?
It’s Echoes of Wisdom, here to disagree with you. And it brought its buddy, Brotherhood.

Did my part and bought Slitterhead! Haven’t played it yet though..

Totally stupid. I’m sure it’s great, but Elden Ring has had its moment already, and DLC for game of the year? Nah... Personally I’d rather see Stellar Blade on there, or Silent Hill 2, or Echoes of Wisdom, or sh*t, how about some love for the incredible Animal Well ?!?!

Performance always looked like sh*t. Quality is VERY playable and solid, and looks gorgeous. But yeah… where tf is the Pro patch? I haven’t tried it on my Pro yet because I finished it right before I got it. Will have to check it out this weekend…

Excited to finally play this game for the first time… on a Pro! 😜

Meh, I am still 100%… SOLD!

Finally set up my Pro today (w/disk drive) and it absolutely DOES NOT need a stand to orient vertically. Unless you have a pet or kid that may knock it over, this thing feels very secure as-is. I may get something down the road, but for now it is FINE! For anyone who was thinking of buying that overpriced stand Sony is selling—don’t!!!

So glad I bought an OLED B4 LG TV on sale before my pro arrived, seems like it is quite necessary to make the Pro shine. And damn, the TV makes a pretty big difference too! Highly recommended to anyone who can afford it and loves gaming.

These seem like fantastic updates. I agree that the combat became stale, largely because of how combat points work. I enjoyed the first 7-8 hours and then got bored (wasn’t crazy about the story or characters either). Will jump back into my Switch version eventually, hopefully with improved combat.

Yep this looks real good

Wish there was an expansion instead—this game is just too good! Outfits are cool though.

@JB_Whiting I might just finish this weekend on my base PS5, as I’m right at the end and the game plays pretty well on quality. Still waiting on my Pro from Amazon anyways… Will save the inevitable Pro patch for a second play through.

@Rich33 Yeah this makes sense. Plus I booted up my PS5 a few times this week and Silent Hill 2 had no patches whatsoever.

@JB_Whiting Bummed to hear Silent Hill 2 is having issues on the Pro. My question though, is have they actually updated it with a patch yet? I know all the other “Pro enhanced” games have had a patch released, and I don’t think SH2 has yet, to my knowledge… I wonder if they preemptively added the tag without having released the update yet? Hmmm…
Damn is that remake awesome though! Been a LONG time since a horror game has hit as hard as the Silent Hill 2 remake.

My limited edition sits unopened in a drawer to this day. Loved the first game, but just never got to it. But man, it sure sounds like that wait is about to pay off!

@Northern_munkey You misunderstood my feedback

Great news! I am near the finish line of my first play through, but will be happy to play again on hard down the road (once my psyche has a chance to repair). Gotta see those other endings!

@djlard @kidfunkadelic83 C’mon guys… It’s PlayStation site, and there is a new console coming out, so… maybe take a break from the site for a bit?

That’s a gnarly bug that you’d think would have been squashed by release. I’ll be getting this on Switch anyways, but definitely waiting for that NL review to roll in…

This looks fun! Callisto Protocol was not a perfect—or even a great—game, but the whole idea clearly still has potential. Will definitely check this out at some point.

@kuu_nousee You said it! We’ve got to vote with our wallets!

Had this pre-ordered, and so glad to hear that it is solid. Weird, inventive horror is what I was hoping for, and it sounds like that’s what we got!

@Mikey856 Ugh—so stressful!
Hmmm… I see there is a “yard” on the map… I wonder what might be there…

Just got to Toluca Prison in Silent Hill 2, and wow… I forgot how oppressive this section of the game was. Bloober pulled out no stops here. Cheese and crackers…

Grudgingly purchased and have a disc drive waiting for my Pro to arrive…
…
…
Babe: “what came in the mail?”
Me: “uhhh… a disc drive for the PS5 Pro”
Babe: “doesn’t the PS5 you already own have a disc drive?”
Me: “yeah, but babe, the Pro blah blah blah”
Babe: 🙄 [eye-roll heard down the block]

This sounds really cool; loving the very dark sci-fi world building happening here

Definitely the last choice 😂

@Yagami Same! I never got a chance to play King’s Field, which was apparently the predecessor to Demon’s Souls and in first person

@AgentGuapo We are all SO happy for you that you’re getting the 30th Anniversary Pro 🙄🤪

@Yagami Not Miyazaki’s choice; Sony owns that IP and so it’s unfortunately their call.
But I heard there’s a live service Bloodborne FPS in the works, so all good!!! 😉 🤪

@Bez87 This exactly!

@Nintendo4Sonic Did you play the PS5 updates? They definitely did not run at 60fps with ray tracing, at least in my experience. RE3 in particular was dropping frames like crazy when I tried the update after it was released. Maybe it’s better now, but it was a frustrating experience for me…

Still haven’t played my copy, excited to be able to get 60fps with amazing visuals AND ray tracing. Haters can hate, but the Pro is there for folks who want that extra nudge of power to really help the games shine and get the best play experience.

Hopefully a Pro patch coming soon for 2 and 3

Just got my physical copy today! Can’t wait to play this, but… gotta play Alan Wake (1) first!!! Love that this DLC connects to Control; one of my absolute favs on PS4. Yay, Remedy!

Fantastic game, but I’ve had my fill after finishing it once this year. Maybe down the road…
I cancelled my Pro preorder with Sony. Still waiting to hear about patches for such game as…
-Silent Hill 2
-Armored Core VI
-Elden Ring
-Resident Evil 2 & 3 (remake)

@Nintendo4Sonic Pretty sure I know exactly what I’m missing, based on a lot of these comments, and the fact that I played the first two games. Perhaps I’ll get to it eventually, when it is MUCH cheaper. But I’m glad you enjoyed the game 👍🏼

SH2 is an absolute masterpiece. Got me to put down Astrobot, which is very telling bc that game is FUN. Bloober has leveled up and deserves all the praise. Excited for Cronos next year!

Yep, been waiting…

Still haven’t played it, likely will not. Enjoyed the first game, and thought MM was the better of the two. No desire for more Spiderman at this point. Wake me when Wolverine is ready though!!!

I totally get how the disc drive being optional could be perceived as consumer friendly, giving us all more options. But the $80 (US) price tag for the drive feels ridiculous, especially given that the price difference between the current slim digital/disc is only $50. If they’re trying to be consumer friendly, then match this price with the Pro, and sell it bundled with the drive for $750. And then on top of that they want another $30 for a stand to make the console stand up vertically like it is shown on the f***ing box it ships in… Ugh… Sony has been watching Apple and taking notes… 🙄

I mean, c’mon, this looks fantastic. More like a Nioh-like anyways… All these new developers want to take a crack at their favorite genre, challenging action-RPGs, and that is O-Kay with me!

Yep looks awesome. Bloober have leveled up hard and I’m here for it.

Congratulations Bloober Team!
Such an awesome remake! 👏🏼

@nessisonett Astrobot is absolutely fantastic! I’m not a huge platformer junky, but it is SO much fun!

Annoying, but not terribly surprising. Surely this is why they created this service in the first place? To sell subscriptions with old games people want to play. What’s weird is how they pick and choose what games you can actually buy. Capcom seems to be playing some part in this decision…

Never played Siren, definitely intrigued.

Edit: Holy sh*t this was written and directed by Keiichiro Toyama—how have I not played this?! 😫

10 hours in and absolutely loving it. Played the original to death back in the day, and feel confident saying they absolutely nailed it. This is the same terrifying, highly disturbing Silent Hill we know and love. Again, nowhere near being finished (just finished the apartment building; I play slowly), but so far it’s a knockout. Atmosphere, art direction, sound (WOW), and combat are all fantastic. So… my review-in-progress score is a current 10
