Re: New PS5 Firmware Beta Starts Today, Bigger SSD and Dolby Atmos Support

"with the headline addition being the ability to extend your M.2 SSD storage"
-Nope! The headline is Atmos support! This is a big deal for people with Atmos capable sound systems. Atmos support was one of the only features putting the Series X ahead of the PS5. If PS5 gets Atmos support and then DolbyVision down the road then the consoles will truly be feature equal.

I thought we'd be waiting for the PS5 Pro for Atmos. I'm super happy!

Re: Hands On: Exoprimal PS5, PS4 Shows Early Promise, But May Not Have Staying Power

The game is boring as h***! I played the first two matches. They were both exactly the same on the same map. Already tired of the game and not sure whether or not I'll play it a third time. The combat is not satisfying- you're just firing all your bullets until it stops for a second and automatically reloads. There's no reason to take your finger off the trigger button. Meanwhile the NPC AI is saying "Summoning Raptors" over and over again. 4/10.

Re: All VRR Optimised Games for PS5

@thefourfoldroot VRR does improve performance when it enables unlocked framerates. Some games that support this are Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves, God of War Ragnarok, and Spider-Man Miles Morales. You're right in thinking that VRR doesn't make a huge difference when framerate isn't unlocked, but unlocking framerate (usually going from 60 FPS to something like 70-90 FPS) is a big deal. Hopefully more and more games will be utilizing unlocked framerates in the future. If the trend of the recent past continues, it will probably be the new standard for major AAA games.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Is a Digital-Only Release, $60 on PS5

I would have bought this game on release physical, but will skip it if it's digital only. I sell my games after I finish them, which usually means I can get $30 back from a $60 game. Making it digital only basically makes this game $30 more expensive than everything else I play. No thanks!
