Still find myself using the still-quiet Pro far more than the dreary £500 doorstop. Nicer controllers, nicer UI and with an internal SSD, load times aren't a concern. I'd like to like the PS5 but there''s something almost a bit 'Apple-y' about it.
@anon_pel222 Some do, ESO being a classic case in point - there were some nerfs and buffs a few years ago which included Wood Elves going from being excellent at thievery and sneaking to wandering around in a fluorescent jacket and honking clown shoes overnight, ruining some player characters forever, all due to some whinging sorcerers being taken out by bow wielding Bosmer.
Hopefully Arrowhead will eventually leave well alone but such is the pain of any live service game where the rules and balance (or lack of) can be altered at the studio's whim.
Thing is, Sony were recently selling the PS5 disc version for about £400 - so was that not sustainable or were they just offloading the old fatties before the new slightly slimmer fatties came in?
@x3King84 @Matthewnh I don't think it's developers being obliged to make PS4 versions, they're thinking of profits and if the old one is still capable of running a game, why not? Even if every PS5 owner has sold/retired their PS4, there are as many PS4s out there as PS5s and if they can sell it on the old platforms then they'll do it. Some studios can only prioritise one platform and it makes sense to aim for the PS5 going forwards but for the others, the PS4 will still be a thing for the next year or two. The Star Wars Jedi: Survivor announcement is one such case - no need for it but potential profits talk. Might run quite well on the Pro.
Plays quite well on the twin-stick Vita when you map the 2nd analogue stick to move the camera. Even better, I got it as a freebie when I bought the Vita.
@x3King84 I have a PS3 Slim 2500 series and a PS4 Pro 7200 series and I'd be gutted if either died. I really couldn't care less about the PS5.
@Matthewnh Started at £450, rose to £480 (everywhere apart from the US for some reason), intermittent cuts down to about $430 and then the cheaper to make not-very-slim is erm, £480. Yes, it's due a price cut. Or we need the PS6.
By this time in its lifecycle, after 4 years, the PS4 had cleared 80 million units so the 5 isn't doing as well as it should.
I assume a big uptake of the 4 came with the price reduction to about £300.
Some of the PS5 failing to keep up with its dad is its high price (when 90% of games are available on the PS4) but also, bar a few titles, the PS5 just still doesn't have a system seller and, thanks to backwards compatibility, its sales so far have been on the shoulders of the 4.
While it's true that GTA6 will push the sales up a bit, the 5 is struggling to a certain extent when it's up against the still enduring popularity of the PS4.
Before the PS3 store dies, I'll do a full system backup, just in case. Also, there's a reason why I have about 20 PS3 discs near the old stager. I was sad when my fat 60GB unit died after about 5.5 years but I have to say the 25xx series Slim has been faultless ever since.
@xDD90x You need to go back a generation or two to the original Amiga version (just called Stardust) which had a fabulous wormhole section which Housemarque didn't keep in the PS versions for some reason.
Current one has been a waste of £500 - not going to be dropping another £500+ on a console with zero exclusives worth playing. I miss the old Sony and PS devs.
@NEStalgia Even the SSD is a bit of a hard sell if you had a PS4 Pro and upgraded the internal drive to an SSD. SATA 3 has max throughput of 6GB/s which is faster than the PS5 SSD in uncompressed mode (5.5GB/s, which might be one of the reasons why my Pro seems quicker downloading PS4 titles than the 5?).
@rjejr I think Brexit can be blamed for most problems in the UK, unfortunately.
Consoles have always been built to a price. However, with the Tub o' Lard, I'm getting the impression that Cerny went a bit over the top in what he wanted to create and the bean counters then came along and made it cheaper.
I mean the DriftSense (thanks for the term @nomither6) seems to be made out of the cheapest plastics and the number of replacements/repairs because of drifting sticks and broken triggers seems to be off the scale - certainly way more than any generation of DualShock. Yes, they broke eventually after a LOT of punishment, whereas the DS5 seems to break as soon as you look at it,
Sony peaked at the PS3/PS4 era and then it seems to have stagnated.
@wiiware Even the PS4 Pro regularly reduced to about £300.
Switch decline was expected as everyone that wanted one has got one and the next gen box is just over the horizon.
XBox - well, what can you say? Shot themselves in the PS4 era and keep doing it over and over again.
Sony are just profiteering - entire point of the not-very-Slim is that it was supposed to be cheaper to manufacture. They haven't even reduced the price of the PS4, it's still at £260. That should be down to £200 by now, with a free game.unless doing that will hurt fatty sales?
Tools of Destruction is the highlight in the R&C series, not Rift Apart.
Anyway, I'm just loading up the Vita's memory cards ready for going on holiday, and this (with its right stick support) is already downloaded! Also, Motorstorm Arctic Edge.is ready to go too.
@rusty82 Yes, sorry, I bought BG:DA on its release day, not the PS2's release day (mine was the GT3 pack about a year or so after launch which is how long I leave it to buy all my PlayStations over the years)
@get2sammyb I bought a copy of Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on the PS2 on launch day from Game. I had to go back about an hour later to buy another memory card as my other didn't have enough space on them!
If Sony did a lower tier of PS+ with only online play and save game backups ('cos they don't allow PS5 saves to go to a USB stick for some reason - $$$) then I'd sign up for that.
I'll be dropping to Essential in December as Extra (which I've had for about 18 months) and Premium, in my eyes, are not worth paying Sony over £100 for a year's game rental.
Sure, it was useful when you used to get PS3, PS4 and PS Vita games as part of the sub, but these days, a few questionable PS4 titles and a PS5 remake of a remake of a remaster and the whole 'free' games option seems a bit overpriced.
Money off a game or add-on for being a PS+ subscriber is something I've made use of but only if I can't obtain the same thing physically for an even lower price.
What a crazy design! I mean, it can sit on its side without a naff stand underneath one end!
Some PS designs have been a little odd but cool, whereas the PS5 is just an eyesore even after 4 years - here's hoping the PS6 will be a better looking piece of kit.
Only really looking at Dragon Age and Star Wars Outlaws.
Astrobot looks OK but the free tech demo thing with the Tub o' Lard didn't interest me much.
Still think it's myopic to not release Lego Horizon on the PS4 - can't imagine it's pushing the hardware that much if the Switch can run it?
Got 'Among Us' for about £4 - barely played it.
American ice hockey? No thanks.
Might download 'Borderlands 3'. Think I played the original many, many years ago? Clearly didn't make an impression.
@__jamiie I've just got a 1TB external drive plugged in which has PS4 games on.
What I can't fathom is the amount of space that the PS5 uses for 'Other' (for 'system data so games can run correctly', etc. apparently) which is currently chewing up 23.03GB but apparently this can change depending on what the console is doing? I'm assuming that this is Windows-esque swap space (for Unix, obviously)?
Was one of the reasons I got a PS5 but Dragon's Dogma 2 has been a let down due to its sub-PS4 graphics, lurching controls and constantly shouting NPCs and pawns. I doubt some extra PS5 performance will fix that.
Only hope it's better than Dragon' Dogma 2 - that's been a let down due to its sub-PS4 graphics, lurching controls and constantly shouting NPCs and pawns.
@Tarquin Trouble is that the Everybody's Golf and Motorstorm online servers are dead.
Motorstorm Pacific Rift at least has split screen offline but Everybody's Golf feels like a wasteland these days with no-one else visible on the greens.
@nomither6 @astro911 Eventually got my white DriftSense (love it!) back from Sony repairs a week or so ago. Barely used in a year and when we tried using both controllers, that one just pulled to the left constantly!
Posted it with about 3 days of warranty remaining and Sony's repair tracker is just as broken as the controller innards!
First it said 'hand it in at the post office' status, then updated to say 'on its way to us' status, then reverted back to 'hand it in at the post office' and no sign of where it was. Eventually, I got an email saying it was on it's way back on the same day it a full replacement was returned!
Must be a lot of busted DS5s for them to fix...
@Anti-Matter You're right on the game prices. My lad wanted to continue his F1 games collection on the PS3 and he picked up F1 2010 for £1 from our local CEX!
I do wonder if it might be because the games aren't useable on the PS4 & PS5 but they are very cheap these days?
Hope my Slim keeps going for many more years (and the 3 official DS3s) as there's so much good stuff trapped on there, and being the 2500 series, it's very quiet and so is the disc drive.
@trev666 That's true as none of the Motorstorm games were released digitally.
Not tried it recently but I think the bizarre thing is, if you have Driveclub on disc, you could download patches and extra DLC content (if you had already purchased it) even though it's been de-listed!
Still got a 2503 Slim PS3 after the fatty popped its clogs. Still playing Worms 2: Armageddon and Motorstorm: Pacific Rift on the old, old stager.
To me, emulation would be nice (if the PS5 can hack it?) but we need some of those PS3 IPs being brought up to date:
1, Motorstorm (unlikely due to Evolution being no more - thanks Sony)
2. ModNation Racers (unlikely due to United Front being no more though San Diego, who helped with the original & Road Trip, could step in) and of course
3. LBP 1 & 2 (MM still exist but the servers for all LBP versions don't exist any more - just after MM uploaded all their textures and objects - again, thanks Sony)
I remember buying Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance on release day from Game - I then had to go back and buy a PS2 Memory Card as I didn't have enough storage space on my other two!
Bought my PS3 fatty (R.I.P.) from Game too just after Sony announced that they were finishing off the 60Gb units and only making the 40Gb ones. Stock had completely sold out within a week! That said, PS4 original from Argos, PS4 Pro from Shop To & PS5 from Currys.
Game's used selection was dwindling anyway and CEX is just so much better.
Could be of interest as ESO seems broken at the moment. Going into the Crown Crates screen causes the game to lock up and eventually the PS4 crashes out to the dashboard.
@kailun Unfortunately the PS5 doesn't have enough grunt to natively emulate the PS3's Cell so unless the PS6 gets a serious power jump, you'd be better off finding a decent condition used PS3 and a load of (cheap in CEX, these days) discs!
Some Vita games could come across though some will be stuck due to the rear touchpad not being supported.
