Re: 'There's No Real Need for a PS6': Industry Veteran Weighs in on Next-Gen Debate

Andy22385

@LogicStrikesAgain some do. But 4K/60? It ain't many. On the newest games we're nowhere near it. Even when its 4K/30 its upscale 4K. And I have the Pro remember which isnt getting anywhere near either. Sure things progress fidelity wise, but on a PS5 Pro getting a game which isnt running visuals better than we've seen before (far from it) running at down to 720p native and dropping into the 30s frame rate wise? There's no excuses for that. Im not even asking for native 4K personally because its a waste of resources but in 2025 nothing should be dropping into the 30s frame rate on a PS5 Pro. And we've still barely seen much that looks better than RDR2 on a PS4 yet this gen. So all this power is being misused

Not sure why theres the complaints about the length (well maybe digital players) 13 hours probably means a 25-30 hour platinum and you'll get practically all of your money back for selling it afterwards depending on your gaming time. We dont need game lengths bloated for the sake of it. This period is absolutely stacked for me I welcome a shorter game

Re: Eye-Opening PS5 Sales Data Reveals Why Microsoft Is Porting Xbox Games

@BAMozzy 350m a month is excessive to me. Obviously the people paying £3 a month is balanced by some paying £15. But most people shop about. Can easily find 12 month codes for £60 with a simple Google. You're forgetting millions are on the gamepass core too for £40 a year too. Which are included in the numbers (and thats why they said subs have gone up when they haven't really because they added those millions to the GP sub total recently). With the gold conversion, MS rewards, GP Core and 12 month 1/3rd of the price codes all being in the number I'd be surprised if it's half that 350m number.

Re: PS5 Pro Pockets a Native 8K, 60fps Game

Andy22385

@AccessibleDaydream because its not on Sony, they just advertise the capabilities of the console, it's on developers to make 8K games then the PS5 would have them. But developers realised how absolutely pointless 8K is

Re: Digimon Story Time Stranger Gameplay Overview Offers Up New PS5 Footage

Andy22385

@Kain40 its 2025. Why on earth would i want to struggle playing a game because it runs in 30 fps and feels horrendous to play? When graphically there's zero reason for it? If you do that you categorically don't deserve sales because it will alienate a hell of a lot of players? They chose to shoot themselves in the feet with that ridiculous decisoon but yet its not like that on PC? We dont spend money on new consoles for that, they may as well have released it on PS4

Re: PS6 Still Years Away Despite Increase in Next-Gen Chatter

Andy22385

It'll launch 2028 it's practically obvious. Especially with the time they'll need to make a substational power increase over the Pro or it'd be a 4 figure console. They aren't on Xbox's timeline any more. They'll jump the gun late 2026 or early 2027. The PS6 will also be cheaper than the Pro.

Re: Hot Shots Golf Fans Fume at Use of Generative AI in PS5 Revival

Andy22385

I really don't care about the use of AI if it makes games release miles quickly and still "looks' as if it was made by a person. But you'd think the use of AI textures would make it look great. Why does it look so poor? And yes I'm aware that EG games are about the gameplay, I've played every single one in the series. Just making excuses for them cheapening out on things, especially as it's been 8 years and the game looks a downgrade. Cartoony games can still look fantastic too if effort is put in. Astrobot for example.

Re: Hot Shots Golf Fans Fume at Use of Generative AI in PS5 Revival

@Jrs1 like said its a downgrade from the last game in 2017. Sure its cartoony, but it could at least look like a PS3 couldn't run it and look like they put at least a tiny bit of effort into the actual look of it, because that's the first thing you see. Astrobot is cartoony and look at that game
