@Ainu20 value may be subjective, but if most people do not see value in this than the majority have the same subjective opinion.
Yes agreed on these selling points but if you want to buy a PC that plays ps5 games pretty well AND does everything else a PC does. Forfeiting pssr and 'better' ray tracing which in mine and most other people's opinions are negligible improvements then the ps5 pro is not good value and the PC equivalent is a much better purchase
Ya I'll wait for the ps6 pro. Playing dragon age origins on my ps3 at the moment and it's soo good I can't put it down! Haven't felt like this in years about a game. I think since bloodborne. I thought it was just me getting old but now I think it might be that games were just better back then. Oblivion is next on my list 😀
It's kinda worrying that this is the best that can be done now to improve graphics. The ps6 isn't far off but I already know it will be difficult to spot whether a game is ps5 or ps6. No wonder so many have chosen to keep their ps4 as there is already barely a difference between that and ps5.
The trailer for this game was as cringe as concords. Characters look awful and purple everywhere. I honestly do not know who the audience is they are trying to appeal to with these aesthetics. Is this what the mythical 'modern audience' likes? Maybe one day they will magically appear and we can ask them 😂
@UltimateOtaku91 Hmm I don't know, Bungie haven't exactly been killing it lately. I mean multiplatform isn't exactly that much of a boost, you're just including Xbox as an extra platform there really
OK its finally over, seems like this game has been out forever 😂 now Sony, ditch this fairgames marathon crap, very few people want these. Please announce Bloodborne 2 and GoT 2 and you will save your stock price 😂
I for one am glad this game failed but now even I am sick of seeing concord articles. Everything that can be said about this game has already been said 10 times over, just move on
Really looking forward to this. One of the very few new games I'll be getting day one. Graphics look great and the turn based looks very similar to ffx with a bit of reaction button prompts added in. All around very promising 😁
I'm gonna wait for the ps6 pro. After this awful generation I'm at least gonna try and get a great lifespan out of my current ps5. It's one of my biggest regrets buying a ps5 and not sticking to my base ps4
The bemusement as to why there is so much "venom" against this game has bemused me 😂 if someone is that cut off from what the gaming zeitgeist is then you're in the wrong business
We can only hope western investors see that when you make a good game without any hidden agenda's, we will support it. Don't listen to the tiny minority obsessed with certain political issues. We play games to escape real life crap and more and more companies are shoving this into our games.
Very immature Click bait article from PS. I like this site because even though it's PlayStation centric, it doesn't ignore clear problems with a game and just calls criticisms 'haters'. Hopefully this isn't the path you as a company decide to go down. I think you will lose all credibility and if you don't have that you're just another kotaku/polygon
Well at least they won't have people attacking them for making Mrs freeze too attractive..maybe should ignore those people and take a page out of steller blades book
A lot of these comments are on point with their criticism. For me the side quests were painful but the glaring issue with the game is the combat. No strategy needed besides stagger and then unload your abilities to do as much damage as possible. This was the killer for me when I realised that it was just never gonna get anymore deep than that. Once you realise the gameplay loop is so basic the game then just became a chore. Still finished it as I really liked the story but I stopped enjoying playing around 30% of the way through
Bloodborne was I think the last game I got kind of obsessed with and couldn't put down, played it a few years after it came out and is my favourite ps4 game. Tbh nothing that's has come out since has matched it. Would love a sequel just to get more lore on that world
@neverwild My God valid criticism is hate now 😂 look you clearly are one of those people who will stand up for massive corporations over customers so good for you 👍 I will now "move on" of my own accord and not waste any more time on this conversation
@Neverwild PlayStation have been brought to court for their digital storefront practices, they deserve plenty of criticism. Why defend what is clearly a massive rip off to consumers?Digital sales cost much less than selling physical yet they are on average way more expensive.
@Neverwild of course not all are cheaper everywhere that's why i used the words 'most' and 'probably'. Using absolutes to try and disprove my point is lazy
Actually looking at the list there are a good 5 or so games that I'm looking forward to playing. I'm good with that since work/family take up so much of my time I would only have time to play around 5 games in a year.
Unfortunately dlc characters has killed my interest in fighting games. Remember when we used to get characters as a reward for beating challenges in a game? That was so satisfying. I know people will say paid dlc is the norm now but that doesn't make it right
Can we please stop blaming the pandemic, it's been long enough that devs have recovered by now. It's not like they had stopped working altogether they were just working from home which I will grant can slow down progress but it's not the obstacle it's made out to be. I worked from home all the way through covid and still work hybrid now, it doesn't affect my productivity at all
@Odium completely agree on the mini games too, but just dealing with the checklist and not actually enjoying it is such a shame in modern gaming. This isn't just a rebirth problem it's a massive problem of all open world games these days, in my opinion anyway
So I can't continue with ff7 rebirth for now. Have got as far as nibel and just can't do another box ticking world map. Will need to take a long break so instead I'm playing the OG Final fantasy 7 😂but with the new threat mod on my new gaming laptop, also a lot of really cool graphics upgrade mods that make the game look amazing 😍
Why in the article are the character designs of that concord game dubbed objectively good? They are the most generic Fortnite overwatch marvel modern day cartoon like characters who are subjectively awful and everything wrong with modern gaming
Thank heavens, another team based shooter that I'll never play! Absolute garbage SOP. Astro Bot is just another sackboys big adventure which I didn't care about and that being the 'highlight' really is a downer. So disappointed but at least I have so many old games I've never tried that are so much better than anything being released these days. Currently playing though the arkham trilogy and loving it.
Funny thing is, this shouldn't be even classed as fan fiction since the writers openly mocked the source material. This show is from writers piggybacking on a much better writers work and trying to improve it.
Bloodborne 2 for the love of all that is holy, please Sony! I haven't really enjoyed anything this generation to the same extent as say, Bloodborne or ghost of Tsushima. Need something to show me buying a ps5 was even worth it
@breakneck Sounds like you've had the same experience as me. im seriously tempted to Skip a lot of the side junk but it goes against every instinct I have 😅
Still ff7 rebirth. Just at Cosmo canyon now and 65 hours in. I'm a huge FF fan but this game is too much. There are too many mini games, too many 'places of interest' on maps that are too big. It's become boring and I just want to get to the end before spoilers but the completionist in me means I have to tick every box. This game is what is wrong with modern games, they feel like they need to be huge and take 100 hours to complete so cost way more money to produce which then can put a company on trouble if it doesn't perform amazingly. Remake was shorter, more streamlined and much better for it. I hope square learn this for part 3

Re: Vince Zampella Defends PS5 Pro Price, Says 'It's Actually Not That Bad'
It's not reasonable or good value. For anyone thinking you can't get a PC for the same value there's an ign article that begs to differ https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.ign.com/articles/you-can-build-a-pc-equivalent-to-the-ps5-pro-heres-how&ved=2ahUKEwjV2-O3_cuIAxWRQEEAHdOsEJ4Q0PADKAB6BAgaEAE&usg=AOvVaw2N_MPiUCt4cbOVkPWUlOBX
Also a PC does SO much more than a ps5 so the value difference is actually immense
