New lighting seems like a major upgrade! People who only comment here to make themselves upset about everything Sony does disregard every improvement a remake/remaster has.
@ChrisDeku People are always arguing that. Sony defines several projects as first-party, but they're obviously trying to deceive gamers and shareholders alike.
Oh no, not the unequaled and fearlessly creative 7th gen!!
Anyway, I like these snark pieces because they highlight games I'll probably have a blast playing. Doubt I would've heard of Showa American Story otherwise, for example.
I've learned that if people here moan about something, I'll usually like it. So while it is annoying to see the same group of people posting the same things every announcement just to make themselves upset, it also acts as a reliable guide!
IIRC, the patch that came out last week was specifically to fix issues with the Microsoft Store release. There is another patch for all platforms in the works.

Feels good to be on top
Re: Xbox Is Stepping Up Its Backwards Compatibility Efforts Again, to the Envy of PS5 Fans
@twitchtvpat Good ol' BluRay key updates! I think there's at least one of those per year. Still makes me feel warm and fuzzy.
Re: Death Stranding 2's PS5 Story Could Take a Monstrous 75 Hours to Beat
Love it, give me all the longest games possible. Best return on investment, IMO.
Re: Xbox Is Stepping Up Its Backwards Compatibility Efforts Again, to the Envy of PS5 Fans
@mattyjam More like 4% of OG Xbox and 28% of Xbox 360.
And my Sony backwards-compatibility is called "PS3." PS5 is for 8th and 9th gen!

@Stocksy The trailer was half gameplay, confirmed by Rockstar themselves.
Re: Rockstar Silences the Sceptics, Confirms GTA 6 Trailer Was a Mix of Gameplay and Cutscenes on Base PS5
Pessimists are so hellbent on getting their complaints out there and validating each others' neuroses that they miss the forests for the trees.

New lighting seems like a major upgrade! People who only comment here to make themselves upset about everything Sony does disregard every improvement a remake/remaster has.

Re: Sony's New First-Party Studio Working on Lighthearted Team-Based Action Game for PS5
@themightyant Always fun to remind the people who think no one buys live service games that Helldivers 2 is Sony IP.
Re: Unsurprisingly, Final Fantasy 7 Remake's Future May Not Be PS5 Exclusive
@Ralizah Of you count PC as a console platform, sure.
Re: Leaked MindsEye PS5 Gameplay Has Fans Giving GTA Veteran's Latest the Side Eye
@LikelySatan I still love the wackiness and jank from that era. Articles like this tend to poison the well, though.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War: Reloaded May Be Getting a Physical PS5 Release, No Word on Xbox
Physical if cheaper. But regardless, this would be a nice curiosity on my shelf!

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Oblivion Remastered?
A random conjurer swam out to the middle of Lake Rumare to attack me while I was hunting slaughterfish. 10/10
Re: GTA 6's Trailer Was Captured on Standard PS5, Sony Likely Has Marketing Rights
@TicklefistCP GTA cutscenes are usually rendered in the game engine. This isn't FMV or pre-rendered!
Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Is Finally Here, PS5 Graphics Are Jaw-Dropping
@symmetrian Same! Too much myopia, bitterness, and entitlement to deal with before meaningful discussions can happen.
Re: Gallery: New GTA 6 Screenshots Look Utterly Outstanding
My body is ready
Re: Even Remastered PS2 Games Are Getting $250 Collector's Editions These Days
Limited Run is such a grift. Glad I paid $10 for this game on my PS3!
Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Is Finally Here, PS5 Graphics Are Jaw-Dropping
Not worried about lack of gameplay, GTA V didn't show any gameplay in any of its trailers.
Re: Halo the Final PS5 Holdout of Xbox's Historic Big Three
@UltimateOtaku91 Let's just say I'm glad the PS5 version of Redfall was cancelled

Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5
@AdamNovice Nintendo has done a ton of (full priced) remasters for Switch, but they're "different."
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: The Top Three Best-Selling Games on PS5 Are from Microsoft
@PlatinumMikey Mental gymnastics is how. They've changed from bitter elitists to weird swingers.
Re: Gears of War: Reloaded Remasters the Original Game This August, Confirmed for PS5
Playing Gears on the DualSense sounds heavenly.
Re: Poll: Are You Disappointed by the GTA 6 Delay?
Not planning on getting it until it's 50% off or less.
Re: PS5 Pro Is No Longer the Most Expensive Console You Can Buy
$729 for more storage (equal to the Pro's), sparkles that don't even sparkle, and a green base stand. Zero hardware or software improvements.
Re: Hollow Knight: Silksong Is Playable in September, But Only in Australia
Sounds like it's time to book a flight

Re: State of Play Presents Borderlands 4 Deep Dive on PS5 Pro
Looks fantastic, might have to be day one for me as well!
Re: State of Play Set for Wednesday, 20 Minutes of Borderlands 4 Gameplay
@UltimateOtaku91 I am! I've loved all the Borderlands games.

Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
@wildcat_kickz Huh, I could've sworn it wasn't like that on other games like the Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice Edition. Oh well!
Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
@PloverNutter Even after buying the $10 upgrade first?
Re: Days Gone Remastered (PS5) - The Definitive Version of a True Fan-Favourite
Sounds like a great deal for $10, then I can trade the PS4 version to GameStop for $13.
Re: A PS5 Exclusive DOOM: The Dark Ages Trailer Isn't Sitting Well with Xbox Fans
It's interesting to see that crowd simultaneously champion the multi-platform strategy and complain about things like this.
