@JB_Whiting Pre-order crowd and their sunk cost, probably.

@HRdepartment thank goodness you're here to issue the Definitive Proclamations on what the rest of the world calls subjective choices.

@LifeGirl They're not using dollars by accident here - they nearly always use pounds.

Instead of building a strawman, maybe just accept the original point?

Love how they're using dollars again so they can quote bigger numbers.

This is like groundhog day, another article that brings out all the doomsters and the 'I'm not buying anything from Sony again' and 'PS6 will flop so hard because I'm not buying it'.

The delusion is strong in these comments.

@16BitHero And that's the way to look at it right now for a lot of people - PS6 is a couple of years away at least, and if you're not going to buy that day one then it's even further away than that for you.

Why are some people obsessed with projecting their life away by thinking about things that are years ahead, and outside their control? It achieves nothing except, going by the comments on here, making them bitter and angry.

I know I'm very lucky, I'm wealthy (worked hard for it though) and will buy the PS6 whatever it costs, as gaming is an enjoyable pastime for me. But if I weren't, I wouldn't be shouting into the void about what my life will be like in a few years time and getting all worked up about it.

And all the people posting about how they'll leave gaming behind and do other stuff, and how this will be their last console etc? Nobodycares.gif

So are we using dollar prices now to make it look even more shock horror?

Day one for me regardless, anyway.

@MyGeneration1979 Exactly. All the faux outrage, 'I'm never buying Playstation again' etc etc hysterics. If you're really that poor then fine, do something else.

Are the price increases great? No of course not, but when all is said and done most of us will just carry on gaming.

And some people still think PS6 could be coming next year?!

In any case, very happy with my Pro for the next couple of years. People can get as angry, outraged as they want - either buy, or don't buy. I won't care, Sony won't care, the world won't care.

Lot of PC beggars in the comments of these preview videos on youtube all pretending they're disappointed and not interested in it today.

Good, because they're won't be able to play it anyway hahahahahahahaha

Junk game. Lot of pre-orders so a lot of cope and a lot of 'I'm damn well going to enjoy this whatever it takes', and 'my ps5 runs it perfectly, looks great' weirdness going on.

Too much better and more polished stuff out and incoming to bother about this.

Nice surprise! We need more of these shorter release announcements. Euro Truck Sim 2 was announced back in October and not a whisper since. This is the way to do it! Day 1.

Good. People should have bought by now.

In amongst all the 'shock horror', people should realise that even in the UK, away from the moral angle, step relations and in fact cousins, even first cousins, wouldn't be classed as incest and is completely legal.

It'll be day one, subject to reviews.

With Saros coming, limited myself to grabbing Dispatch.

Never heard of this studio, People lose jobs in offices, factories every day. But hey, this is DIFFERENT, right?

Wrong. It's not, however much hand-wringing people want to layer on it.

I'm 55, so I'll happily take that '45 or older' grouping 🙂

@Dogbreath haha perfect analogy 😀👍

@LifeGirl Yeah I think they probably just got the 9 the wrong way around, 6 sounds about right.

Are the anti AI lot going to send them death threats like they did to DF?

That's about their level of intelligence paired with their rabid outrage.

Comes to something when studios are so terrified of the anti AI zealot minority that they feel they have to issue statements like this. Justifiably concerned about attracting the attentions of the same type who sent death threats to DF over their DLSS 5.0 feature. Very rational and balanced individuals, no doubt.

We'll look back at this period and laugh at the luddites with their pitchforks. They'll end up on the wrong side of history very very quickly, just like the originals

I'm old, so for me it'll always be the original RE, or Biohazard as it was on my Japanese import.

The dogs and the windows.

That is all.

ABCD

Anything But Crimson Desert 😀

@McBurn lol yep must be your magic TV that's making it run beautifully on the base PS5 when no-one else's is.

Game is just pish on base PS5. The parallel with Cyberpunk is that on PS4, it was never really fixed - the console was too weak to run it at a playable level. Base PS5 this late in the gen is the same situation. The only way this thing won't look like a Switch 1 game or, if you go on 'quality' mode, a slide-show, is via Pro or a decent PC.

Only consolation is that the game itself is a mess, so throwing it into the fire isn't really a loss anyway.

@Chasloyal I'm glad you've got it on Pro - I've seen base PS5 footage of this now, and it's fairly obvious why they weren't keen to show that before launch! Looks like switch game.

@lazarus11 Just pleased when confected overhype doesn't win out against reality, I guess.

But yeah...fair point, I'll be quiet on it now.

People who still want to play this? It'll likely be 50% off in a few months and on Extra a few months after that.

If you really enjoy eating *****, at least don't pay top dollar to do so.

Just read the game has long unskippable cutscenes if you have to redo a boss battle. And you have to tap a button repeatedly to run. Should be a 'no buy' for those two crimes alone.

So it's a load of poo, eaten in large part by it's own hype. Hope people can cancel their pre-orders in time.

@EfYI Dragons Dogma II,
is very good with PSSR 2.0,
if you want a better version of this poo.

Seems a bit smelly.

I think this technology is interesting, and useful for those who want to use it. People can work themselves up into whatever rage they think is going to signal the right way online - I'll just carry on laughing at their silliness and posturing. If pissing into the wind is their chosen hobby, then they deserve to get soaked.

As for 'the whole internet is against this'...nope, a certain small section of the internet who shouts loudest, same as ever. Go onto other sites and you'll find plenty of memes and posts going the other way, especially regarding the temper tantrum John Linneman threw just because he wasn't in the precious loop on this he felt entitled to be in.

@Number09 But who wants their base model if you upgrade to a Pro? So most people wouldn't have spent anywhere $700 as you'd trade the base model in, same as some of us who have the Pro will do with it when PS6 comes out.

Ah, Resetera....what a well balanced site to select comments from. :/

Are people trying to forget how totally mid this game is?

Patient gaming wins again.

Just tried Dragons Dogma 2 and it's a massive improvement! So pleased with this.

@AgentGuapo I know, right? Every PSSR game is gonna support this via the firmware toggle - I'm amazed at the amount of people who still seem to think every game has to be patched by the devs to support this.

@StrifeInMidgar I'm puzzled how DF were gushing over it, it was as you said, awful.

@lazarus11 Because cyberpunk didn't use PSSR in the first place, that's what this toggle is for - games that use the original PSSR will make use of the new version without the devs having to do anything.

Any other game, like Cyberpunk, will need a specific patch.

GTA VI will have at least a 40fps for us on the Pro, maybe not 60 but 40 is a hell of a lot better than the 30 it'll be everywhere else. And it'll be best way to play the game until PC comes out in probably 2028 sometime!

It's fairly well known that Sony have had engineers embedded in with Rockstar for at least the past six months to ensure Pro is way ahead of every other console out there, it'll sell buckets of Pro consoles for them on the back of a decent performance differential.

Cyberpunk is my biggest surprise of all, cannot wait to see that in PSSR 2.0 glory.

@SodaPop6548 It'll probably be fine - they just wanted to use DF as a bit of a promo really after all the noise about the consoles, so obviously they're going to make them show the best performing console to get the hype going.

@OldGamer999 It's the fault of this site and others that are still pushing the idea that studios have to patch their PSSR games to use this - they don't. Any game that has PSSR will make use of the updated version - this is a system level thing once we get the firmware with the toggle.

Putting that Remedy are 'updating' their games to work with PSSR 2.0, implying that they need to update the games themselves, is inaccurate and actually pretty poor journalism when Remedy say nothing of the sort in their X post.

If they'd read the x post more closely, Remedy aren't actually 'updating' these games via a patch, and they don't need to - they're just letting people know that PSSR 2.0 will be supported on them via the toggle when we get the new firmware.

Seems even the people who write these articles don't quite understand what's happening here.

@Colour GTA VI: "Hold my beer"

@lazarus11 Any news that some people don't want to hear these days is either propaganda, conspiracy or fake news. smh.

It'll be ok on the base, although the resolution on the 60fps mode, without PSSR to bump it up, might make it look rough. 40fps probably the sweet spot, 60fps on Pro with PSSR 2.0.

As others have said, all the silly comments about the Pro when it came out haven't exactly aged well, even though it was obvious a lot of them came from the land of sour grapes and cope.
