I've just installed a 1tb SSD on my PS5 today. What I'm doing is using 2 external HDD to manage PS5 games and avoid long download times and they're helping me a lot. They're slow af but it's better than downloading something like Jedi Survivor or FF7 Remake again
@DennisReynolds yes, I'm aware of the the issues with Forspoken and the improvements. I'm not sure why they didn't change this issue with Rebirth, maybe they did something with the engine that it can't be fixed. Maybe they customized the code to the point where this isn't possible, but it would be great if they did that. Unfortunately it's either hit or miss with these japanese devs. Forspoken was fixed on PS5 and PC. Wo Long was fixed on PC. FF XVI and Elden Ring are still performing badly on PS5, Elden Ring could be fixed with a lower resolution but they just simply refused to do that. It's just weird that they sometimes care enough to fix these issues and sometimes they don't. I love japanese games, but they're not very good at optimizing games.
@DennisReynolds yes, i am and it's still blurry for me but i don't care. The game is what matters to me and it's good. I can still see framerate drops at 60fps because I'm used to play at that framerate on PC as well. I just don't get stuck in these things. They'll never fix these issues so you either wait for a Pro/PS6 or a PC port (which will probably run like trash since a lot of PC ports nowadays are horrible). I played the demo, i knew what i was getting into, but i don't mind. I would mind if the game was bad, but it isn't so it's fine for me. It could be better? Obviously. Will that hinder my gaming experience? No, not for me.
@Zenos i won't because to me it's better to wait until PS6 is out, as long as it has BC, than buying a Pro because in a couple of years this machine will reach its limits and by then PS6 will be in its final development stages. I can deal just fine with the resolution, though. Especially because I'm still using a 1080p output TV and 30fps is fine for me as well, but to each their own
Oh, i didn't notice that. I'm spending my time actually playing the game, and having fun while doing so, instead of nitpicking or complaining about anything i can.
Also, no, we don't need a PS5 Pro. The game isn't perfect but it's far far far from being a disaster. It performs very well and it looks good too, for the most part. People nowadays care more about resolution and framerate than gameplay mechanics, story and fun factor. I'm not saying SE couldn't have done a better job with this game in terms of resolution or assets quality, but Jesus...the game is so damn fun that I've spent 5h straight playing this evening, and i rarely do that
These are the moments I'm glad i don't take reviews or other people's opinions into account to decide whether i will or will not buy/play any games. Can't wait to get my hands on this one!
It's been 3.5 years since PS5 was released and we're still having a bunch of PS4 games and now they're preparing to launch a PS5 Pro, even though most games out there are still PS4 cross green titles? And who said that Rockstar is planning on making GTA6 a 60fps game??? Hell, it was a miracle that they released a 60fps patch for RDR.
I'm not interested in a Pro, if anything it won't be a huge gap between both base and Pro consoles and probably by the end of this gen, the Pro will be struggling to run most games at 60fps, pretty much like it was with PS4 Pro. To me it's an useless upgrade and I'll be gladly skipping it, just like i did with the PS4 Pro. I'm better off with a PS6 with BC capabilities.
And i agree with other people here, this generation has been VERY underwhelming
Well, since so many PS5 games are being released on PC, and now Xbox games are being released on PS5 too, might as well release some of those Switch games on Playstation platforms, right?
I left PC because of the state of some really atrocious port efforts. In fact, they're getting worse and worse by the day. You either need a high end PC to brute force whatever issue you might have to run X game (and sometimes not even this is enough) or you need to be lucky and not have a garbage port delivered to you. For every Lies of P, there's a Jedi Survivor, Wild Hearts and Hogwarts Legacy coming at you together. I just don't have the patience anymore. PC players are treated like crap and this won't change that soon, if at all. The frustration of buying a game and watching it run with multiple stutters or framerate drops and then watching the same game running smoothly on a console that is definitely weaker than your rig is indescribable. I'm glad i jumped ship. From now on, PC is only for indies and simple AA games
Unoptimized mess, expensive af, unknown IP, UE5 (most games running in this engine are a framerate dip fest), boring plot...this game was doomed from the start and it's all their fault
I bought a PS5 last month, so yep... I'm part of the statistics, but not in Europe, since i live in Brazil. Having a great time with my PS5, just like i had with PS1-PS4
Even when the OG PS4 couldn't handle RE2 Remake, that game was running with unlocked framerate, this is quite common with most RE Engine games since last generation, so i don't see why it could be different in this case. I think this "source" is BS
@carlos82 it's playable, but it can't hit 60fps consistently, though it's no Wild Hearts levels of disaster. At least i don't have any issues with crashes, which a lot of people were experiencing a while back
@Olmaz how about performance? Does it run decently? I've seen Digital Foundry's video about this one and it looks like it runs pretty badly on all platforms. I own this game on PC and oh boy... framerate isn't that good there either.

Never played any of these games before. Might be a good time to give it a chance, since i loved Metro Exodus
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Complete Edition Demands a Futuristic PC
I could buy the PC version, but i just got myself a PS5 a couple of months ago and i just bought this game for the console. I'm good.
