Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for April 2025 Announced

AliceInChains

I'm not one for complaining. However, I pay for premium, specifically for the classic catalogue. It is infuriating that War of the Monsters which launched on PS4 as a classic in 2015 is on here. Just because it's packaged with a new emulator is silly. I don't subscribe for patches.

Thanks for 30 years PlayStation.

Re: PS Store Confirms Lots More PS5 Pro Enhanced Games with New Tag

@Pranwell, hopefully. It's a different game entirely on PC (visually). I would love to see some PC features ported over. Although even if CDPR don't. It would be cool if Sony stepped in at a system level. Similar to Xbox with the One X. Forcing 16x Anisotropic filtering. Force PSSR implementation on titles below 4k to bring the image fidelity up. I dunno lol.

As a PC guy first and foremost. For the people asking for Cyberpunk. A key feature that really makes that game pop on PC, is Ray Reconstruction. As of right now, I hope PSSR can provide that DLSS quality upscaling. However, Cyberpunk's ray tracing melts CPU's too. Maybe reflections. But none of the path tracing.

Re: Poll: Does Sony Need to Take Action After Microsoft's Activision Buyout?

AliceInChains

The only thing that gets to me about the way Microsoft has approached this, is that they have bought all the best first person shooters. The only ones I can think of that Sony has is Killzone. Microsoft now own DOOM, RAGE, Halo, Fallout, Elder Scrolls (if that counts), Outer Worlds, Call Of Duty etc….. back in 2005 I bought an OG Xbox just to play DOOM 3.

Re: Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut Could Take Up a Healthy Chunk of Your PS5 Storage

@Digit2021 Here is a quote from one of the developers. So maybe incredibly talented and hardworking instead of lazy eh.

“Our mesh and texturing systems are very fine-grain and fairly conservative,” Bentley added. “We only have one copy of every asset on the disc. During most loads, when not jumping into a close-up, we only load newly required assets and can dial down our streaming density a bit. This usually results in requesting one or maybe two fewer mipmap levels for big textures. Users shouldn’t see pops because we still have the texture data we need to render when jumping into gameplay 99% of the time.”

Re: PlayStation Exclusive Final Fantasy VII Remake Spotted on Epic Games Store

@Spyroescape You say you’ll torrent it. How is that not obvious. If you weren’t you’d just wait until it was available elsewhere. I can’t get something on the client I want so it’s my right to steal it. Alright then, entitled. But you do you.

PS before you say how you’ll buy it at a later date to support the developers. Don’t forgot that Epic pay the bigger cut back to the developers.
