To my big surprise, I've hardly noticed any significant difference between GTSport running on a PS5 and the PS4 version of GT7 (also running on PS5) for which I got a key with my PS5 disc copy. Lets all hope major studios wont start recycling / rebranding their IP released ages ago for full prices in the future...oh, naive me, right?
The very same "Japanese giant" is being obliterated in terms of sales over in Japan by Nintendo ^_^ But yea...two exclusive games since launch and a subscription service are obviously not enough for M$ to compete these days...so it seems. But who knows, maybe numbers of Forza / Gears 5 sales on Steam would provide some interesting numbers ?
A device like that and there's no info anywhere, if it has a WiFi6 chip inside All sources with "tech-specs" state the Wifi requirement is 5Mbps...omg, are we back in the Ps3/Vita era?
At this rate, this could've remained a digital-only title. Absolutely no reason for physical release. They want us to pay 60 bucks for "adding trophies"...now that's becoming a really expensive feature / service these days lol
53 years later, the western world still hasn't learned to appreciate the Gundam universe. Oh well... imagine if COD was a live service game...that would drag on for decades, no doubt
And I thought the Soldier helmet in Doom's collector edition was the top. Oh well...who knows, maybe we'll get a set of winter tyres with Gran Turismo 8 Collector's edition ?
I don't know but i think they might wanna push PSplus subscriptions indirectly with digitalPS5 console. So it seems. As much as I am a fan of physical media, they are really becoming more and more obsolete (in case of PS5 at least). Is it a high-end 4k BD player? I don't think so. Used games are cheaper, no doubt...but they get cheaper after a LONG time after release...big chance hardly anyone is interested in them by that time. Only time will tell what the average consumer will prefer. I hope the value at Playstation will stay with the "content", not the technical nuances.
I remember the days when PC magazines came with bonus CDs packed with stuff. Nowadays, all a 1GB update does is "improve" the messaging app. WTH, even the install disc of WinXP was smaller than that!
So technically speaking, if a PS5Pro launches one day, that makes the current PS5 variant the "Slim" model Hard to believe I've actually said that...there is nothing slim on the current model LOL!
This marks the end of an era...you can't deny that. Digital empire strikes hard with this one :/ (with day-one patches, physical PS releases have been as good as obsolete ever since mid-PS4 era anyway...)
