@OldGamer999 Some people, like me, find console technology fascinating. I wouldn't have even given Series X the time day if I didn't know how it's backwards-compatibility or FPS Boost worked!
@DonJorginho In my excitement, I failed to consider any of that. Are the bugs things like framerate or overworld streaming that extra power could fix? Or things like falling through floors and inventory disappearing?
@Juanalf 9/3 split is still worlds better than the first Switch's 3.2/0.8. The eShop will probably be the first noticeable UI improvement with nearly 4x the RAM available.
@Alps_Stranger It was weird because they dropped that patch out of nowhere and with little fanfare. Not even sure if they properly announced it, I read about it here first!
Bought it day one and have zero regrets. The native improvements to most PS5 games when it comes to dynamic resolution or unlocked framerates is more than worth it, IMO, not to mention the 2TB of storage.
@OldGamer999 I, at least, still believe studios and publishers deserve to get paid for their work. The best way to ensure sequels, improvements, and specific types of creativity in games is through financial support.
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.

Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages Attracts Three Million Players, Dev's Biggest Launch in Its History
Sure was a quick recovery from the lukewarm opening mentioned in yesterday's article!
Re: Raidou Remastered Reintroduces a Cult Classic Atlus RPG in PS5, PS4 Gameplay Overview
I think this looks awful compared to the original. Plasticky, desaturated, and green shadows?
Re: Action Shooter MindsEye Continues to Have the Weirdest Gameplay Marketing on PS5
Still looks gloriously janky. Might have to day one this
Re: Ex-GTA Boss' PS5 Shooter MindsEye Gets a Tiny Gameplay Trailer, with Launch Just Weeks Away
Looks janky in the best possible way!
Re: Helldivers 2 Dev Breaks Away from PlayStation, Next Game Will Be Self-Funded
Maybe now they can make something single player that I can play...
Re: Xbox RPG Avowed Should Be a Much Improved Game Once It Comes to PS5
Voice acting sounded dreadful from the clips I watched back when it launched. Do any of the patches fix that?
Re: Gacha Spin-Off Persona 5: The Phantom X Skips PS5 for Worldwide Launch
@Ralizah A JRPG kart spinoff is something I never knew I needed until now...!
Re: Gacha Spin-Off Persona 5: The Phantom X Skips PS5 for Worldwide Launch
Waiting for the 8-bit pixel platformer Persona 5 spinoff before I write them off

Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
@jorel262 Hardware improvements such as these directly lead to improved game experiences 😇
Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
@darylb24 I see that now, it was originally rumored to have 5 which doesn't even make sense from a system integration standpoint!
Re: PS5 Upgrades STALKER Trilogy with a Native Version, Out 20th May

Re: PS5 vs Switch 2: Full Tech Specs Comparison
12GB RAM is a massive improvement from Switch 1's 4. Sounds like the CPU and GPU are much more capable as well. Exciting stuff!
Re: Square Enix Demands Bigger Games, Faster Development as Sales Continue to Slump
A PS5 port of Harvestella would change their fortune.... with me. 😇
Re: PS5 Upgrades STALKER Trilogy with a Native Version, Out 20th May
Hopefully paving the way for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 on PS5 with Pro Enhancements and trigger functionality!
Re: PS5 First-Party Game Sales Will Increase Over Next Year, Sony Says
Alright, I can cross "Not actually first-party" and "Sony changed the definition of first-party" off my PushSquare comment section bingo card!
Re: Rumour: New PS5 Pro Update Could Give Frame Rates and Resolutions a Massive Boost
@Haruki_NLI Guess I'll be trading in my Pro for the Pro 2!
Re: Helldivers 2 Continues to Be Sony's Most Successful Live Service by a Mile
"Just because Sony owns the IP, financed it, and published it doesn't make it theirs."
Re: Anime GTA-Style PS5 Gacha Neverness to Everness Hints at Announcement
So many waifus, so little time!
Re: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Struggles for Sales in Japan, Despite JRPG Inspirations
@ApostateMage I didn't know that either, now I might have to check the game out
Re: The Midnight Walk (PSVR2) - Dark, Melancholic, and Hauntingly Beautiful
Reminds me that I need to restart Lost in Random. Don't think I completely understood the card collecting mechanic
Re: GTA 4 Could Be Getting a PS5 Port to Help Ease the Wait for the Next Game
@Alps_Stranger It was weird because they dropped that patch out of nowhere and with little fanfare. Not even sure if they properly announced it, I read about it here first!
Re: GTA 4 Could Be Getting a PS5 Port to Help Ease the Wait for the Next Game
@Alps_Stranger RDR runs at 60fps on PS5
Re: GTA 4 Could Be Getting a PS5 Port to Help Ease the Wait for the Next Game
Would be great to play a modernized version of this without the bug on Xbox and PC that makes it unbeatable.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Think of the PS5 Pro, Six Months Later?
Bought it day one and have zero regrets. The native improvements to most PS5 games when it comes to dynamic resolution or unlocked framerates is more than worth it, IMO, not to mention the 2TB of storage.
Re: Chrono Trigger Remake Hopes Return as Legendary Dev Wants to 'Do Something' with the Classic RPG
Would be hilarious if the buzz caused by a mistranslated quote actually lead to this happening
Re: Expedition 33 Update Now Available on PS5, Nerfs Maelle's Broken Attack and More
@a1904 I've noticed that, too. Lots of comments from people claiming that "turn-based is back" despite it never leaving.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages (PS5) - Medieval Mashup Slows Down for FPS Excellence
@OldGamer999 I, at least, still believe studios and publishers deserve to get paid for their work. The best way to ensure sequels, improvements, and specific types of creativity in games is through financial support.
Re: Xbox Is Stepping Up Its Backwards Compatibility Efforts Again, to the Envy of PS5 Fans
@AhmadSumadi "Ugh, why are we getting all these rereleases of OLD games?! Where's the 6 brand new Sony IPs I demand weekly?!"
Re: PS5's Share of Active US Players Is Slowly Beginning to Pummel Xbox
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!
Re: Poll: Are You Hyped for GTA 6 After Trailer 2?
My hype is at critical mass
Re: Mafia: The Old Country Ditches Open World for Linear, Story-Based Gameplay on PS5
Music to my ears- er, eyes, since I'm actually reading text.
Re: Ancient PS3 Game Killer Is Dead Announces Sales Milestone After 12 Years
@Hitoshura25 A double pack for those would be beautiful
Re: The FTC Is Still Fighting Microsoft's Activision Buyout, and It's Not Going Well
Great use of government time and money, as usual
Re: GTA 6's New PS5 Trailer Attracted Almost Half a Billion Views in One Day
@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.
Re: Days Gone Remastered PS5 Amplifies the Horror Compared to Its PS4 Predecessor
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: Gallery: New GTA 6 Screenshots Look Utterly Outstanding
@Stocksy Rockstar confirmed that the trailer was half cutscenes and half gameplay.
Re: GTA 6 Trailer 2 Is Finally Here, PS5 Graphics Are Jaw-Dropping

Re: Sony's New First-Party Studio Working on Lighthearted Team-Based Action Game for PS5
Let's Froggin' Go!
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: Leaked MindsEye PS5 Gameplay Has Fans Giving GTA Veteran's Latest the Side Eye
