Re: PS Portal Will Allow Cloud Streaming in New Beta Update

roe

It's a cool addition to the Portal that probably should've been there from the start.

I find it mad how slow the rollout for cloud streaming has been. This is something that was available 10 years ago on Vita!

There seems to be a change of approach with this every other year and we're still no wiser to what the end goal for this will be

And that applies across the industry too. Stadia worked well but was an absolute mess marketing wise. Likewise, Amazon Luna is almost completely unknown. Xbox seem the most vocal about their service but even then I'd have thought they'd give it more promotion by now

Definitely a weird time we're in now. This game came out 4 years ago, and yet we've already had 4 different "look how much better it is here" comparisons.

I get these games are huge budgets and it makes sense from a business point of view to milk over a longer period of time. But it's a bit nauseating to see the same handful of games over and over again

I'm in between wanting it later down the line and tbh likely will just give it a miss altogether. It'd be hard to justify the outlay even at a reasonable cost but £700 is just too much at this time

I'd also want a newer TV to take full advantage as well and then obviously you're talking about a couple grand at that point

There are just too many games and it's constantly adding to the pile

New games aren't only competing with new games, they're competing with the entire history of gaming!

It's a problem in almost every entertainment industry but with the bigger problem that games aren't as easy to just watch or listen to like a movie or music

This is just all inevitable and I'm not sure there a solution to be had

Re: Microsoft Is Investigating Why Devs Are Prioritising PS5 Over Xbox

I mean, where do you start? 😂

It really is quite baffling that Xbox have seemingly spent the best part of nearly a decade now trying to focus on getting their own library up to par, spent an absolute f-ton of money on some of the biggest publishers and IP you can think of.. and they still have hardly any titles I want to play. Quite incredible

@S1ayeR74 so what do you want then? What if this doesn't sell and it gives Sony the message that further advancements aren't necessary and the PS6 is scrapped all together

Presumably you bought a PS5 at a price that to others would also seem unreasonable. Why do you get to be the bearer of what's deemed an acceptable price point?

@zupertramp I suppose but I don't really see it that way. Sony have been setting PlayStation up as a premium, expensive console for a while now. Just look at how they're selling controllers for £200 and Until Dawn for 60. I think we may be past the precedent for that now

Re: Bickering Begins Over PS5 Pro's Inability to Sell Out

I struggle to see why anyone cares about this

If you want one, you can get one. Great. If you don't want one then it's just not for you. Move on.

The way PlayStation announced it suggested they don't particularly care how well it initially sells anyway tbh, which again is fine
