@SirRealDeal no one, and that’s good to hear. Also it seems the Wireless Desktop app works for some games.

You write as if the future is decided. It’s not. 🤷‍♂️

I think it’s quite a challenge. Could be a distraction. I think it won’t matter if Sony at least can deal with its other real issues (1) lack of hardware (2) its relationship with indie devs and (3) GamePass. But VR could become a distinguishing factor. I just really hope it offers pc connectivity. I want Half Life Alyx, etc.

If it’s <$400 and works on Pc and PS5 it’s a win.

Yes, the $300 Occulus:Meta Quest headset can play some games but it needs a $80 cord to attach to PC. I think Sony can closely match that.

This is nice. I hope to see more indie titles in Feb.

If it is similar or better than the $300 Occulus Quest 2 and can connect to mobile and PCs I think it can be a decent hit. I would probably buy it. I think VR is cool.

That said, I think VR is a big distraction for Sony which imo needs to focus on (1) getting adoption for their existing tech (3d audio, dualsense, os features) and (2) improving their existing PS5/PS+ user experience and less on making games and development for what will certainly be a niche product. It’s not clear to me what it gets Sony.

The whole thing felt like an FMV but wasn’t. This was a great tech demo and the whole Matrix /4th wall breaking is perfect for all the technical imperfections and moments when it was a little uncanny valley. Someone said real games would be scaled back, but I don’t see how they could confidently say that after playing. It had lighting, objects, physics, and player interaction. And few optimizations. Excellent excellent demo. I look forward to the next 5 years of UE5.

This is great. Everyone wins.

Not really interested in older titles. That’s more like competing with Switch Expansion Pass.

I really just want a subscription of good short indies. I can pay for AAA.

Most played is not the same as max hours imo. Astro’s Playroom deserves some spotlight today both on Sony’s blog and here. It was a phenomenal included title.

Also Bugsnax.

Happy Birthday PS5!

This is so dumb. Just do for their 1 year old console what Valve is doing for Steam Deck. $5 preorders for those with Playstation accounts. Stop the weird games and timing. Just make a line and give estimates of when they will get one.

Ask a bad question, get a bad answer

Random low priority things I would like

• Cd audio support
• A better media remote (one with more buttons)
• More developed hdr settings/calibration tools

Really hope a video game company might have , you know, video game announcements.

Wants:
P4G on Consoles please
P3 remake
P6 trailer and release date
Clarity on the rumored p5 game.. put them in college!
Digital soundtracks on bandcamp

Didn’t watch the show, but I watched some of the highlights afterwards. It was ok. I think everyone’s 2021 expectations are just still too high. I am looking forward to the Persona 25 celebration.

I’d like to see lots of weird stuff. Indies. Games requiring weird hardware attachments (maracas, power pads, etc). Indies being allowed to mess with PS franchises (HZD turn based?). More 2 player games. Stuff that is over-the-top joyful like Astro — maybe preview Team Asobi’s new thing. Stuff that connects your phone (in-world murder mystery?). Just go nuts. Don’t take everything so seriously. Playstation is a toy.

@get2sammyb part of that observed dissatisfaction is collection bias. Content people generally don’t write comments. They are too busy playing or living the rest of life.

I want new franchises, indies, VR previews, and wacky stuff. Minimal time on sequels and existing franchises.

I think it’s fine as-is and would have liked that option.

Part of it has to be the fact that the people buying it probably were or would be the most active and engaged Ps4 users. I think there is a collection bias issue. Put another way, what specific about PS5 is making people behave differently?

Kena. Sigh. One can dream.

Is this a sponsored post? I hope you got kickbacks.

It was bad. I am so over trailers and teasers for games with release dates more than 6-9 months out.

mostly want Nintendo news that I won’t get and Persona news which I hope for but also don’t expect.

@Jaz007 uhh wasn’t implying journalists lied.. I was merely asking for their opinion. They asked for ours.

Do game journalists think they lied? You and others reported on it.

Is there a way to downvote a post? I don’t see the need or reason for this “news.” Like someone said something on Twitter that got some engagement, guess we better share it too? Is that how it is?

That’s disappointing because that suggests we’re not gonna see this game for a long long time. It also seems a little unnecessary as Dragon Quest was never a strong contender on driving graphics and could push UE4 a lot harder.

Yay! Operation Tango and Squadrons look great for me.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

Definitely keeping PS+

Coming from Switch Online I have a hard time ever being upset about getting free games... just finished Control and that was delightful.

Games should respect your time. All games should be instantly saveable. It’s for accessibility. The power could go out. The internet can go down. Your family member might play on the system in-between while you are out of the house. Etc.

This just in: news site amplifies random bad opinions for profit and “engagement”

Needs VRR now...

@Northern_munkey exactly! which is why Sony should fix the disc drive issue.

@Northern_munkey the site asked what I wanted not “what I wanted with special conditions like your approval” or “what I wanted that was a big deal.” You are right it’s mostly a simple fix — don’t keep discs in the drive, but I want it. And a lot of people want it. We don’t need to shame people for wanting something. My wants don’t mean yours are less important. The world is big.

Disk drive random spin issue
Cannot remove from wishlist after purchasing game

goof article, needs better title. “Soapbox: Media Framing that “Playstation is Obsessed with Blockbusters” is wrong (or BS)”.

Too long until Kena comes out...

It’s a big blue ocean. The world is big enough for two companies. Or three. Or four.

Depends completely on the genre. If the gameplay isn’t twitchy and the camera is fairly static then 30fps is fine.

I don’t think I would pay $400 to play one video game, even if it was fantastic. But get this and a few others and backwards compatibility and yeah, it would be a much easier sell.

Backwards compatibility with existing Ps4 VR
1-2 killer apps

Wants:
Half Life Alyx port (see no motivation for Valve ro do this)
DLSS 2 equivalent. To hit high framerates you need to run lower res and upscale.

Starting at $70 is fine. Many games already do. 🤷‍♂️ people will decide if it’s worth it or wait for a sale

beat it early this morning. I really enjoyed it. With Game Help it took about 3 hours. Did get stuck once and had a few bugs towards the very end. Beautiful design, story was simple but compelling, world was fun to be in. +1 Would work great in VR.

Mostly stuff we already know about and Ps Plus games. If we get 1-2 interesting tidbits it will be good. A B event would be great.

I want random disc spinning fixed as mentioned above. Disc drive randomly spins for a minute during digital games (eg playing Persona with FF7R disc in).

Also, wishlists. They are still messy. Sync them with the app and... I can’t remove games from my wishlist once I own them. The remove from wishlist button disappears. Sigh. I am glad I have psprices.com

Persona 5 Royal NG+ and Death Stranding.

Waiting for “remove from wishlist” bug to be fixed. I can’t remove any games in my wishlist that I already have purchased.

I have a PS5 but I didn’t want to respond to this poll because I don’t have enough PlayStation 5 games yet to make a real assessment. Maybe ask again in a year or two years?
