@Czar_Khastik at least stay here for the Americanisms and focus on the American audience from a UK website.

@xHHHx you mean he made himself a victim? I'm so surprised! That never happens in this day and age!!

@Czar_Khastik hope you have a great life, we may never see you again 😭

@breakneck which is fair enough 👍

@xHHHx his account showed irregularities, Sony investigated and reinstated the account. What's the problem? Sounds perfectly reasonable, if inconvenient. Should Sony just not do anything when an account flags up? And trophy hunters shouldn't get any preferential treatment so you bringing that up is irrelevant.

Oh well, who cares, move on. He hasn't even collected trophies for 3 years. Sony investigated, as they should, found no issue, reinstated the account. Talk about a non-story 🙄

I'm amazed if they are going for the male Shep in an age where TV shows are 'diversifying'. My money is still on a lady being the lead, which is fair in this case because Fem Shep is the better option. I'd pick Gina Carano for the part if she's still not ostracised for being unfairly dismissed by Disney.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare game journalism died years ago, replaced by scouring social media for 24/7 headlines, activism dependent on political views and marketing opportunities. There's no proper investigative journalism because those kinds for journos are not encouraged or employed by the industry, unless it suits a narrative held by the organisation.

No need to update it, my PS5 Pro will convert it to 4K 120fps as standard and add VR.

"As Fortnite seeks to attract new players and retain old ones, the title is adding more and more options for fans"

Doesn't attract me as a new player. Didn't like it in the first place, having an OG mode, it didn't appeal first time around.

@Lofty1985 you're right. I couldn't understand how horrible it was.

@KilloWertz it sure would 😔

Does it fix the terrible betrayal of the story?

@Fishnpeas you should consider buying a PS5.

Are some of you mental? The site is called PushSquare, it's PlayStation-centric by definition. A new console is out, of course PS is going to write lots of articles about it. How is that unexpected or annoying? Why do you even come here if something like that bothers you? Weird.

The animated screen is cool, and what's best is that means there'll be more.

@zupertramp you say so yourself, the OP is making assumptions. He's actually saying the CEO doesn't care. Amd youre saying hes nonchelant. There's simply no evidence of this, its all based on nothing more than a personal feeling to fit a perception. Certainly not based on the context of what was said in response to a question asked. In real terms, it's quite conceivable that the film's poor finacial result did not affect the franchise as a whole detrimentally.

@Odium how exactly have you come to the conclusion that the CEO doesn't care about Borderlands when he's specifically and exclusively talking about the actual financial impact of the film to the franchise, when asked the question?

The man is talking about the film's economic affect to the franchise, which didn't hurt the business, in relation to the fiscal call he'll soon be making. Getting annoyed by taking the comment out of context and adding extra meaning to it is pointless.

@GeeForce and yet it's not. Xbox Series X was technically the most powerful this gen but it wasn't forward thinking in its design, not as versatile with its architecture as PS5. This Pro is the first time we've seen a console released that is clearly on a progression path to the next generation.

@Nepp67 ohhh...I thought I'd have to pay thousands on a PC to get that. You mean I can do it for £700?! What a great choice to have. I chose that.

@somnambulance MS are going to think you resubbed for CoD and they're going to send you a bunch of flowers 💐 😊

My mighty PS5 Pro will power through the bug.

@get2sammyb Sony sell most of the stock to retailers so aim that request to them.

N7 day is rubbish. It's so bad and pointless I'm surprised they don't make it N7 month.

@Nepp67 they made me? I was unaware, I thought I chose to get one. If its compulsory I suppose you're getting one too. Invite me to a match!

@nessisonett you mean the thing they are doing?

@get2sammyb depends. Sony is likely to expect a run on both PS5 because it's discounted, and the Pro. They will gauge how quickly the Pro sells its first run of consoles, and how many PS5 Slim units are being bought and adjust its production capacity as required.

@themightyant not a problem, I've got loads of them. I'm scalping them to anyone with an electric car.

This month I'll be mostly feeling ambivalent.

@themightyant you sure? I was going to take it apart and stick it under an electron microscope 😊

@themightyant by which time I'll be able to tell you too 😊

"Sony did touch on this in a PS Blog post earlier in the year, but it’s yet to elaborate. “Enhanced Image Quality for PS4 games is also available to improve the resolution on select PS4 games,”

That's pretty self-explanatory, not much to elaborate on. Very much what the toggle on Pro is doing. And according to the OG, it's system wide so won't be using PSSR.

'While it’s ultimately just another avenue for Epic Games to make money with microtransactions, you have to applaud the genius of all this.'

As a gamer, the last things I'd do is applaud this or think it genius.

The CWA also intend to hit Hasbro with a stern warning over the game Monopoly for creating a monopoly 🙄

@Loamy I can't stand that guy. Such an end of a bell.

@C25CLOUD you name the electronic device and it will have multiple version scaling in price. And that goes for almost every other type of product. Plus, the Pro coming out triggers a fall in the price of the base model.

So many people forgetting this is standard practice in every industry. Sell a product with multiple tiers of quality. It's a choice. Such nonsense to call it predatory. Grow up.

"it’s a little odd how this commercial exists to illustrate why you should buy the console, but instead goes on to promote the dozens of optional peripherals you can purchase alongside it instead."

Peripherals is where the real money is, that's why consoles used to be loss- leaders at best.

Maps the size of postage stamps nearly makes omnimove redundant. And the Skill-based matchmaking makes playing the game frustrating when you're starting off. The first 10 hours are a chore. Other than that it's ok so far, but if the reviewer thinks its a game someone could play exclusively for a year, I'm glad I'm not that person. This game could be played every day, up to the point it annoys you, and it will, and you need to play something else.

@Buckster i was using it as an example of Sony investing in the industry with risky, niche products. A company going downhill doesn't do that.

Anecdotal evidence isn't really evidence. Here, I have PSVR2, you've now found someone happy 😊

Without knowing any of the facts beyond this threadbare article on the situation, it's impossible to take a stance either way. It's quite disturbing to see one particular comment here so full of vitriol for views and people they don't agree with, about a situation they know so little about.

It's a beta, why so harsh about it? It's entirely the point of it existing 🙄 they literally warn you that this is not finished code and it's still in development. You don't even know what version of code this is.

@Northern_munkey it's a fair concern and certainly one I'd understand over what's been said elsewhere.

Seeing devs upgrade thier existing games eases my mind on that, and if its something that doesn't happen at launch but is patched later is still acceptable to me as the majority of games are not optimal at launch anyway so I tend to wait until I buy.

@atthegates I understand you're worrying about that. However, that worry is not based on any substantive proof other than an opinion. It didn't happen in previous generations where there was a mid-gen refresh. So I think you'll be fine. PS5 will always be the platform where game development begins. If anyone should be worried (and I'm not) is Pro owners who may be anxious that the game won't receive extra attention, that costs time and money, to improve it just for a niche audience.

So seeing them doing it for old games is reassuring even if it not going to benefit me personally.

@atthegates says who? I'm buying the Pro and it's not because I can play old games with better visuals. I'm buying one for future benefits, just like I do with all my consoles.

I don't buy consoles because it benefits old games, so I'm delighted that devs are upgrading these games but I'll probably never see it for myself.

@WiiWareWave really? And how exactly do you 'milk' a gamer out of £700? That's not a microtransaction. That's a significant amount that people of average income would have to think about before spending it. It's the kind of price that an enthusiast would consider, not a casual gamer.

The market is full of devices of one particular model with various versions of the device at different price points aimed at different audiences, and yet if console makers do it, they're milking people as if it's not a choice. Nonsense. All perspective lost. If you want to moan about 'milking', complain about subscriptions to go online, the death of second-hand games, digital prices being kept artificially high. A niche console for a select audience is a choice, and beneficial because the base model has become cheaper in tandem.

@atthegates that's the glass half empty approach from someone who's not getting a Pro. I am, so my glass half full view is that it's great that devs are taking the time and the money to improve a game, sometimes a game that's been out for months and seen its sales tail off, just for a small subset of gamers that will benefit.

@RBMango I like one of the criticism I've heard about the game: 'every interaction is like HR is in the room'

The cartoony/Uncanny Valley faces in Dragon Age is really off-putting so changing it for ME is a good idea. And please ensure Shepard can still can punch people for saying stupid stuff.
