It will really take off once we start getting PS5 exclusives and no longer held back by cross-gen titles (which admittedly were necessary while stock issues were sorted). PSVR2 is set to be amazing but god damn do Sony need to start marketing properly
Yeah user voted basically just means a popularity contest so people will have just given it 1st in every category without any consideration.
I wonder how many didn't have time for Forbidden West in between Elden Ring and Ragnarok. Absolute shame Horizon got nothing (graphics, world design and Dualsense use were great) but I'm slightly consoled by the fact that Elden Ring didn't either. Great game but still over hyped by the From fanatics in my opinion.
@__jamiie it's not really being utilised on any cross-gen titles though, so they don't provide a fair indication of the benefits as the games structurally need to adhere to the lower performing hardware. It's not just about load times but how the games are designed.
If you've played R&C Rift Apart (a PS5 exclusive) that gives an indication of how without the SSD travelling through rifts and immediately being in a completely new environment wouldn't be possible.
Fair play though when the main difference people are rabbiting on about are reduced load times, just bear in mind the SSD allows for more than that.
@Sequel it's being rolled out regionally, so Australia and NZ gained access from local suppliers earlier. Went live hours ago in Oz and still available so confident people in other regions (even without invites) should be fine.
High price/small existing library has likely deterred a lot of people from jumping in just yet.
Been on sale in Australia now for an hour and still available for pre-order at multiple retailers, so I reckon the demand isn't as crazy as some were worried about. Should minimise the attraction for scalpers too which is a welcome bonus.
