Short demo, finished it in 20 mins (took my time).
Looks good on the PS5 Pro! Plus, the gyro aiming feels great. I'm sold. Day 1 purchase!

Phenomenal game! Better than Ghost of Tsushima. Which I also enjoyed. I Platinumed both. Congratulations Sucker Punch. Well deserved.

A perfect example of Pro support done right. 60fps with ray tracing! I know it's years away but I'm already looking forward to their next game.

I have it for my Steam Deck OLED. It runs fine, but I'd rather play this type of game at 4K 60fps. If the price is right, I'd double dip. Then, maybe I can get to the sequel. That's been sitting on my shelf for almost a year.

That's unfortunate. I enjoyed The Outer World's 1 and was looking forward to the sequel. But since it's a game key disc. I decided to wait for sale of $20 or less.

I might pick up Avowed, if it has a proper physical release (complete on disc) for PS5.

City Hunter, Never Grave, & Rain 98 look interesting. They seem more suitable for portable play. Perfect for Steam Deck OLED. Added to Steam wish list.

So hyped for this one! I don't want to see any gameplay (spoilers).

I'm currently playing through the original (Steam Deck OLED) and loving it just as much as the remake. I might play through the second game before this remake releases.

I already own Subnautica on Switch (never played it). But it will be nice to play on PS5 Pro. The rest of the games are meh to me.

@Runex2121 I respect that. 30fps is fine. If I start off playing a game in quality mode, it doesn't bother me. But if I switch over to performance and see the higher frame rate, then I can't go back to quality mode. Unless it's at least 40fps, which is a nice middle ground (45fps on Steam Deck OLED).

I'm curious what kind of TV you play on. If you don't notice the difference with the higher frame rates on PS5 Pro and Series X.

I've gone back to some lower frame rate games on my OLED TV's, and it can be kind of rough to look at, until my eyes adjust to it over some time. Which wasn't the case last generation. But then again, I was using led an TV at the time. So maybe that made a difference. I find 30fps more doable on a smaller display (PS Portal, Steam Deck, Switch 2)

@GeeEssEf Well, to be fair, if you're comparing it to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which also runs at 60fps on Switch 1, then no wonder why she can't tell the difference.

But yeah, I get what you're saying. I always try to show a friend of mine. How smooth a game is. I'm playing at the time on PS5 Pro or Steam Deck OLED. I'd say, look, it's running at 60fps, 90fps, or even 120fps.

They say yeah, it's smooth. But I can tell they don't even notice a difference, even if it's 30fps. I wish I could go back to being that way. Which was just last generation. I keep telling myself do not become a frame rate snob, that's not the person you are 😅😂.

I sold my Portal last year. Because the screen quality while nice, and tiny thumbsticks didn't do it for me.

Steam Deck OLED has been my remote play device for PS5 Pro. OLED with HDR, 4 back buttons, full sized thumbsticks, option to use gyro with any game, wired connection via ethernet makes it feel like I'm playing my PS5 games natively on the device.

I would be interested in an OLED Portal, though. For certain games (mostly rpg's, visual novels, ect), I like how lightweight the device is, and the grips are very comfortable for extended gameplay sessions. I'd be willing to pay $250 for one.

@MrPeanutbutterz That's funny you bring up Mad Max. I remember thoroughly enjoying it on my original Xbox One (VCR) back in 2016 or so.

I actually replayed through Mad Max a month or so ago on my Steam Deck OLED, at 90fps with high settings. Still a great game!

I must have been mistaken, because I thought Mad Max could run at up 120fps on Series X with fps boost.

@MrPeanutbutterz The only two games I could think of this generation I've played that didn't have 60fps modes is Gotham Nights (for whatever reason) and Starfield. But Starfield did get a 60fps update about a year after launch (Series X).

The PS4 library is amazing, but I agree it is kind of difficult to go back to most of those games capped at 30fps. Playing those lower frame rate games on a Steam Deck OLED/PS Portal via remote play makes them more bearable. But mabey that's just me.

I'm no frame rate snob whatsoever, (Switch is my favorite console) but we've been spoiled this gen with great performance from PS5/Pro and Series X.

@carrey23 True. But there are some pre order bonuses.You get with the digital version that don't come with the physical.

Nice! I'll take free DLC outfits for both games. Looking forward to the Fatal Frame 2 demo.

I'm debating on pre-ordering the digital deluxe edition for FF2, because I want the additional outfits. But I want the physical version for my collection. So I might have to double dip on this one.

@Krlozgod If your friend is on base Xbox One and wants to upgrade, then they might as well. Because you are correct. We have no idea how long it will be until next gen.
Or how much of a price increase it will be compared to today's prices.

The base PS5/Series X is a noticeable upgrade over the original Xbox One. Even more so, if you have a modern television (4k, 120hz, hdmi 2.1) to take advantage of it.

I have PS5 Pro & Series X. Personally, I would stick with PlayStation, especially since Microsoft, is bringing their games over to PS5 anyway. That's just my opinion. But of course, I don't know how invested your friend is in the Microsoft ecosystem.

@LifeGirl You may have to give me some examples. Most games I have played on base PS5, (I've had since launch) have a 60fps mode. To me, this has been a great gen of games mostly hitting and maintaining they're targeted frame rate. Of course, there are some games with frame rate issues (Silent Hill 2 & f come to mind) But those are far and few between, in my experience.

Besides, loading times, performance has been the biggest upgrade to me. This generation over the past two.

If you haven't upgraded to a PS5 by now, after 5+ years, then you might as well wait and upgrade to a PS6 in a few more years.

I set up my PS4 Pro last year to use for remote play and forgot how terribly long the loading times are. That didn't last long. Now it sits on the shelf unplugged.

Once you're used to the SSD speed and 60fps as the standard, it's difficult to go back to last gen. But if you don't know any better, more power to you.

Wow! I have fond memories of Veediots! as a child. I'll have to get this for my Steam Deck OLED.

A physical copy would be nice but February & March are packed months. We will have to see.

Just what I wanted to hear! I hope Capcom gives us an option to uncap the frame rate with ray tracing turned on.

My first playthrough will be 4K 60fps with RT. To see this game in it's full graphical glory. Every playthrough after while going for the Platinum will be in 120hz mode.

I'm excited to know the PS5 version also has gyro aiming! Hopefully, Capcom gives us a way to adjust the gyro sensitivity this time, because the sensitivity is way too low on RE4R and Village. I don't want to have to use my Steam Deck OLED (but I will) for gyro. Because I'll miss out on all the DualSense features.

I will hold off for the physical release. It's already been a 13 year wait, another year or two is fine. There is plenty to play in the mean time.

I have no interest in GTA Online. So, there is no rush to get to the story day 1.
If they decide to go completely digital, then I'll wait for a steep discount.

Sony could wait until 2030 and I'd be fine with it. Unless the PS6 is a big upgrade (4K 120fps). I don't plan on upgrading from PS5 Pro until PS6 Pro. I will take the PS6 Portable, though. If Sony wants to release that within the next few years.

Code Veronica Remake within a year of RE9 releasing? Yes, please!

Mabey, RE0 Remake after CV? Capcom could fix the issues i had with character swapping. Add some local and online co-op to it.

The Ezio Collection could use a 60fps patch. I played through some of it, but playing games at 30fps on PS5 Pro doesn't click with me.

I could always hook up the PS4 Pro or remote play it to my Steam Deck OLED (used to playing games at 30fps on those platforms), but I'd prefer the better performance.

I'm currently playing through Rebirth right now on PS5 Pro.

Usually, I'm not a fan of card/minigames built inside other games but, Queen's blood is fun. Every time I visit a new location. I always check to see if there are npc's to play against.

I'm glad to hear it will be available for part 3.

However, that war/battleship style board game with the polygon style PS1 graphics. I did not understand at all.

@GirlVersusGame I'm really enjoying it so far. I added it to my Steam wishlist and I'll probably pick-up a physical copy for PS5. I've played about 4 hours of it. I keep wandering off the mission path to explore. Doing that helps me grind. I appreciate the advice about the augments. The soundtrack is good. I've only played Witcher 3, but I'm a big fan of Dying Light. If you want to play some co-op, I'd be down.

@jFug Thank you! I appreciate it

I'm looking forward to this, but I don't see a pre-order for the physical version on Amazon US. I guess I'll wait until closer to release date.

I used to love playing Fighting Force 64 on Nintendo 64 back in the day with a cousin of mine. It's nothing special compared to some of the best beat em ups from the SNES era, but I still enjoyed it nonetheless. I never played Fighting Force 2.

I'll get this for the nostalgia. Probably, for Steam Deck OLED, since I missed out on the physical release through Limited Run.

Time to play The Ascent. It's been downloaded on my PS5 Pro for about a year.

I didn't finish Cult of the Lamb. But I'll probably buy it for Steam Deck OLED.

Not bad. I'll check out A Little To The Left, A Quiet Place, & The Exit 8.

Re Village is great, but i already own it. I might as well download Like A Dragon, so I can keep my physical copy sealed on the shelf.

I'm only about halfway through Yakuza 0. So hopefully, Infinite Wealth doesn't spoil too much.

Excited for my Platinum run! Hopefully, there is a high frame rate mode for the Pro to go alongside with the enhancements.

I've been dabbling with a little RE4 Remake on my Pro recently and it looks phenomenal with the high frame rate and ray tracing. A showcase of what the PS5 Pro can truly do when used properly.

I have no doubt Capcom will do the same with RE9 & Pragmata.

Let's hope they learned their lesson with Alan Wake 2 and have a physical release ready on day 1!

So far, I've only played through Chapter 1 in the Trails series. I'm currently playing the original Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky on Steam Deck OLED.

Would I be able to play this game without missing any major content? Or should I start somewhere else?

Chapter 1 has a high frame rate (HFR) mode that ran up to 120fps on PS5/Pro. Is it also available for this game?

@Oram77 Same here! Those Yotei plates are nice! Even though some people said the color looks like baby vomit haha.

No love for us PS5 Pro owners with the plates 😤. I'd like the techno red and neon green colors on a DualSense Edge. But I can't go back to a standard DualSense controller.

@Jammer i only have two 4k TVs at the moment, and both of them are the same model (LG C1 OLED). My Switch 1 & 2 work just fine with both of them.

I would assume any 4k TV with hdmi would work with Switch 2.

@Jammer I own both games (Deadly Premonition 1 & 2) for Switch and a Switch 2. Both of them work and run a bit better on Switch 2. Still janky AF, though. But playable if fps drops don't bother you too much.

If you prefer to play those games in portable mode. Personally, I'd choose to play them on a Switch OLED. But you might as well buy a Switch 2 to future proof yourself.

@BleedingDreamer From what others say, you can earn the true ending within 3 playthroughs.

@Almost_Ghostly I have a Steam Deck OLED. So I play digital only games, but not at full price.

Switch/Switch 2 have cartridge slots, so I'd much prefer physical games on that hardware.

Same with PS4/PS5. I'd prefer to buy games on disc.

After Silent Hill 2 and Cronos: The New Dawn. Bloober Team has my full attention! Unless it's digital only/game key card, then they can keep it.

@Jammer I'm pretty sure there are five endings in total. Unless one of the recent updates changed that? Well, maybe you can get multiple endings in one playthrough? I don't know.

Congratulations! Only 4 more playthroughs to go for the true ending!

I've only played through it once also.
With so many other games releasing around the same time.
I need to go back and get my platinum.

@Deljo Depends on the game and price. I want this game for my collection and I prefer physical over digital. Since I'll have a digital copy via PS Plus, there will be no need to open the physical copy.

Besides, I don't own the monthly games given away via PS Plus. Once I stop paying for the service. Then, I no longer have access to those games. I like owning my games.

Hopefully, that answers your question.

Epic Mickey is what I'm excited for! I've been meaning to pick a copy for a while. Now, I'll wait for a physical copy to drop down to $20 or less and keep it sealed on the shelf.

Bring it on! Chapter 1 was my first Trails game and i loved it!

I hope they keep the high framerate mode (HFR) for us PS5/Pro owners, because playing at 120fps was super smooth on my PS5 Pro.

Just started Cat Quest 3 on my Steam Deck OLED via remote play last night and it's purrfect! Another fun platinum to go alongside Cat Quest 1 & 2.

Grandblue fantasy Relink, downloaded and ready to go. Physical copy can remain on shelf sealed.

Hell yeah! Dead Island 2 is great! The flesh system is awesome!

So much so that it made the Dying Light 2 devs go back and rework their entire melee combat system for the better.

Improve upon the flesh system. And I'll be happy!

Looking forward to Cat Quest 3 the most. To go alongside my Cat Quest 1 & 2 Platinums.

I own Granblue Fantasy Relink, but it will be nice to play it without having to open up my sealed physical copy.

Assassin's Creed Mirage was okay, nothing special. (own and played)

@Flaming_Kaiser Exactly! I want a survival horror experience.
For Leon it will be a typical Friday night.

I would rather play as Grace the entire game and have it be extremely scary.

It's nice seeing Leon (Lay-Onn) come back but mabey save his part in the game as future DLC.

Either way, i'm still looking forward to it. I won't pass any judgment or criticism until i've played the game to completion.
