@LogicStrikesAgain agreed. I dont see how you can a single complaint when we were getting RT at 60 launch day. Id take that any day of the week with the Pro.
@Papasears1982 I really want to play daybreak but I get the feeling theyre going to do the whole series. I played the first 2 on PC then they announced the remakes so I stopped 🙃
Just wish it had cross save. Im getting the collection on the 8th and want to start it, I have the free PS4 version. But no point if I'd have to restart
Honestly id rather proper effort was put into PS1 and PS2 ones. Obviously on PC but I recently played DQVIII on an emulator in 4K with 4K textures, it was gorgeous. Imagine if our old games looked this way on PS5 emulated. Do that.
@EfYI im genuinely baffled at the stupidity of anyone leasing a console. Over the 2 years you end up paying as much as console costs and you have to give it back.
I dont see who its for to be honest. It depends on the price. If its under £500 itll probably do ok. But it isnt making PS5 users move, steam only for the casual user..why ditch your PS5 for that? And PC guys want the customisation, stuck at 8GB VRAM and something only as powerful as a PS5. Really dont see who it is for
Genuinely dont know why developers dont just have a unlocked mode that runs off the base PS5 version. Itd mean every single time the Pro version would run better than the base console version, and they could make specific modes as well that utilise things like PSSR.
@MrHabushi but it doesnt run at 90w. Thats the main point. Gamed could run at this wattage and run exactly the same as they do now. Yes Sonys word is correct, some games will scale back performance to run at 90w. But some won't need to scale back performance to do that, thats the point
@tameshiyaku I genuinely dont even get his argument it doesnt make any sense 😂 optimising the game does nothing. It still uses the PS5s full wattage no matter how they optimise it
@MrHabushi I dont know why youve replied to me yesterday then replied to me again today without me saying anything 😂 the point is they dont because the PS5 runs at a certain W usage no matter the game or how its optimised.. As it stands a game that could run on a PS2 would use the full wattage of the PS5 of up to 200w even though it doesnt need it. Now it could potentially use just 90w and run exactly the same as if it used the full power.
@ProfessorNiggle yes I know, my point was some games are so weak graphically that they wouldnt have to change their visual details to run on the PS5, even in low power mode.
@MrHabushi no it isnt. Hence me saying low graphical games. Ive just finished playing everybodys golf, a game that looks like it could run on a PS3. That would have no differences low power mode or normal mode.
I can see it being useful if a lot of games do it. For instance there's so many JRPGs that are graphically low and could run the same in the low power mode. It'd be worth switching for those
Better off buying elsewhere. £479 vs cheaper elsewhere with games included. And no cashback on PS direct vs up to £40+. You can probably save £100 by buying elsewhere. Thats better than 3 months premium
Can't believe that 40% less is still trying to be peddled. It was 40% less physical. When there is a 30% less install base today. 5 years on when a digital console didnt exist and far more people buy digital now. That was an incredible result for physical gaming. Plus the literal facts that even with the less install base it's not sold any less than GOT. Fantastic result for the studio
@Max_the_German Im playing Yotei with Ray Tracing at 60 fps with a comparable image to the quality mode which has no RT and is only 30 fps. And this is before the brand new PSSR itineration thats due. It cost me about 300 to upgrade, ill take that every day of the week and twice on Sundays. The Pro is always a console for the hard-core
People saying we dont need this - sure there hasn't been as many games this time. But the time for exclusives isnt as it was. My backlog has never been so big as it is now. October has like 8 games along I want. And it isnt releasing now. A few years is a long time. They can't just stop releasing consoles because game development takes longer now. Its the usual 7 year cycle.
This is very promising for physical tbh. There was about 30% more consoles available for Tsushima. And its only down by 40%. Taking into account the fact there wasnt a digital only console then too. The physical vs digital ratio is probably the same. Very good signs for physical 5 years on
What an outstanding use of the Pro. Comparable visuals to the 4K/30 quality mode and it's 60 FPS with Ray Tracing. I wish people would ditch UE5. Look at the results without it.
I really dont get this. Storage space is the one place that Sony dont need to save money on. Its plummeted in cost since 2020. Why bother to look idiots
@Rich33 I have a PC myself but I find it a pain tbh. No need ever talks about the drawbacks of PC gaming they just act elite. I dont use it much simply because I miss the plug and play aspect. Stuff just works on console. Plus the fact its absolutely miles cheaper to game simply for the fact games are physical
@Czar_Khastik you think it'll be cheaper? It'll be the opposite. They'll have the monopoly and can charge what they like. Frequently a game has been under £20 to buy physical and digitally its £60-70. Physical gaming is the cheapest way to game and its not even close.
@BecauseBecause see even day one purchases you can do that (if you get a decent amount of gaming time) my games cost between £5-10 after selling them. Believe it or not I actually made £10 more than I paid on AC Shadows because my Preorder came with the steel book which I sold for over £20 😂
@Dalamar depends really. As the leaks say its one game and staying turn based, if thats the case probably yes looking at the all the recent DQ remakes which are fantastic
Think some people here are forgetting GOT was 1080p/30 on the PS4. Sure Yotei doesnt look that much different but GOT was already stunning and it takes a hell of a lot of power to raise the resolution and and lock it to 60 instead of 30. And its obviously a better looking game than GOT too.
@get2sammyb basically this. People keep saying you dont need 60 fps for turn based. That part is true - but when you're inside a world map with the camera spinning you absolutely do. If this is 60 now thats piqued my interest
@BattleMonkey I thought the Pro pricing was slightly overcharged, it just needed a drive at that price point. I dont expect the PS6 to be much more powerful tbh. But anything over the cost of the Pro is suicide for them IMO. Given the fact its likely 2028 they probably can get the power to cost down below that. I dont think it'll have a drive either like the Pro to price it lower
@themightyant they do buy in bulk, but they'd also be buying in bulk today so it'd still be a fraction of the cost in 2020. Its a massive saving. I was saying the retail to give some idea how the SSD price has plummeted and theyre saving a fortune on them. And I very much doubt the GPU and CPU are more expensive today than they were 5-6 years ago. The only likely cost thats increased is manufacturing and distribution. But when the components are so much cheaper than 5-6 years ago theyre certainly making it and providing it to customers cheaper than they were.
@BattleMonkey easily in my opinion. PS6 wont be over £599. The Pro is an optional console so they can price it how they like and no one is excluded. The PS6 is needed to play games, and they need the masses to buy it to sell games. 799+ is suicide for them and it'll be another PS3 situation.
@themightyant the components are still massively cheaper though. That SSD cost at least £200 in 2020 and now you can get one for £50. £150 saving on just one thing.
