@8bitOG If PS4 Pro was my only way to play modern Playstation games at the moment. Then, I probably would add thermal paste and an SSD to it.
PS5 Pro handles all my PS4 games just fine. While the PS4 Pro sits on a shelf collecting dust... it was a great system, though. From 2016-2020. So I can't complain.
Got my platinum a few days ago. Such an amazing game! I enjoyed it more than Tsushima.
The gameplay was so smooth, even in ray-tracing pro mode on PS5 Pro. The ray-tracing looked great with 60fps. Honestly, I thought it already had VRR support.
40fps mode and NG+ are nice additions. But i've had my fill and moved on, for now.
If I want to enjoy Spider-Man on a portable device, I can play it on my Steam Deck OLED via remote play from my PS5 Pro on an OLED display with HDR that looks similar to my LG C1 OLED TV on a handheld screen. Running at 60fps with some ray tracing.
I'll wait for Steam Deck 2 and the rumored PS6 portable.
@Flaming_Kaiser I know it would be kind of pointless if the game isn't on the disc in full. But I would still rather have that instead of a digital copy.
Microsoft did the same thing with Doom The Dark Ages & Indiana Jones. Which is why I haven't picked them up yet.
I can wait for a steep discount before I purchase them.
I know playing through the same game multiple times to understand the full story might not be for some. But I'm enjoying it. And I'm currently on my second playthrough.
I want to see all the endings and unlockables this game has to offer. Plus, I need that Platinum trophy.
I'm still patiently waiting for Amazon to deliver my copy today. The longer they take the later it will be. I don't plan on playing until nighttime, anyway.
I just hope the issues on PS5 Pro aren't enough of a distraction for me. If so, maybe playing on the smaller Steam Deck OLED screen via remote play would make the shimmering less noticeable?
So no gyro aiming support? I guess it doesn't benefit from ALL the features the Dualsense controller has to offer then? I'll have to use my Steam Deck OLED to force the game to support gyro.
The Gears of War franchise holds a special place in my heart. These games were a technical showpiece on the 360 back in its heyday. Almost 20 years later, it's hard to believe Gears of War is available on PlayStation, and it will look and run better on my Pro compared to the Xbox version.
Even though I have a digital copy of Reloaded free on my Series X (since I own Gears Ultimate Edition) I had to order a physical copy for PS5. I'm excited to jump back into the campaign and maybe dabble, with a little bit of online multiplayer. My copy will be arriving today!
@kyleforrester87 Exactly! 45fps feels almost like 60fps to me on the Steam Deck.
I'm sorry to hear that. For the most part, my Steam Deck experience while docked to the TV, has been good.
After the last Steam OS patch, my docking experience has been even better on both of my TVs (LG C1 OLEDs) I use the official Steam Deck Dock from Valve with an HDMI 2.1 cable. Which dock and cable do you use? And what kind of TV? If you don't mind me asking.
@kyleforrester87 After adjusting the settings, yeah. I have it at a mix of medium/high settings in portable mode and cap the frame rate to 45fps and it's smooth, stable and looks better than the 360 version. Plus I use gyro, so it makes aiming so much more pleasant!
I can also play docked to the TV, if I cap the frame rate to 40fps at 720p and it still looks better than the 360 version.
I know that might not sound impressive since it's an older game, but unfortunately the GTA IV port on Steam has frame rate issues, if you don't cap it to 40/45fps on Deck, then it fluctuates all over the place.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to download mods to fix it. It's a game issue, not a Steam Deck issue.
I don't have the game yet but I'll be playing it on PS5 Pro when I do. I wonder if any users are having any issues. With the game overheating, on PS5 Pro consoles? Or is this just a base PS5 problem?
@Oram77 I'll take RE0 also, but I hope they add local and online co-op to it. Personally, I was not a fan of swapping back and forth between two characters and having to manage both inventory slots. It was very cumbersome and took me out of the experience.
Nope, but I've added it to my Steam wishlist, to purchase later on after a discount.
There is no need to add it to my PlayStation wish list, because I will be picking up a physical copy day 1! So hyped! RE Code Veronica Remake next, please.
E.A. refuses to give us Dead Space 2 Remake. So, I'll take this instead. Now, give me a release date, please. Sometime in October would be a good. Hopefully, not too close to Silent Hill f.
I did my part with 3 full priced purchases of Dead Space 1 Remake (PS5, Series X, Steam)🙄
If they have a proper physical release (no game key card) i'd gladly double dip and pick up a copy of Stellar Blade for my Switch 2, instead of the Steam version for my Steam Deck OLED.
With all of the hentai games, flooding the Nintendo Eshop. I don't see why it couldn't happen, lol.
Maybe the Switch 2 version could have some custom skins for Eve (Samus, Zelda, Princess Peach, ect) kind of like Fatal Frame, had for the Wii U back in the day.
Wow! I was already sold before! The atmosphere, the enemy design, even the sluggish combat. I was hoping for an October release, but September is even better!
Great! Now, I can keep my physical copy of Alone in the Dark sealed and on the shelf. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but never got around to it. So it will be nice to try that out.
I recently took advantage of the Day's of Play sale and renewed my PS Plus Premium subscription for another year. So I'm good to go!
I'm glad they didn't abandon it. And they're still working on it, at least. I've had the game since day one and Platinumed it within the first week of release on my base PS5. By the time the Pro released, I had already moved on.
If they have it sorted out by October, I'll go back for another playthrough on my PS5 Pro this time, for spooky season 🎃 👻 🎃 👻
Now Bring on Silent Hill F, & Silent Hill 1 Remake, please.

Re: Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Set to Be One of Falcom's Greatest Games in Fall 2026
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.
Re: December 2025 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
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.
Re: Dead Island 3 Officially Confirmed in the Least Interesting Way Possible
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!
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for December 2025?
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)
Re: 'Grace Is the Biggest Scaredy-Cat in Resident Evil History': Capcom Details How Leon's Gameplay Will Differ in Requiem
@Flaming_Kaiser Exactly! I want a survival horror experience.
For Leon it will be a typical Friday night.
Re: 'Grace Is the Biggest Scaredy-Cat in Resident Evil History': Capcom Details How Leon's Gameplay Will Differ in Requiem
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.
Re: PS4 Will Still Get New Games in 2027
@8bitOG If PS4 Pro was my only way to play modern Playstation games at the moment. Then, I probably would add thermal paste and an SSD to it.
PS5 Pro handles all my PS4 games just fine. While the PS4 Pro sits on a shelf collecting dust... it was a great system, though. From 2016-2020. So I can't complain.
Re: PS4 Will Still Get New Games in 2027
Of course PS4 will continue to receive games. If it runs on Switch 2. It will run on PS4.
It's nice for PS4 only owners, but personally I could never go back to those long load times and loud running machine.
Thanks Sony for making the PS5 backwards compatible with PS4.
I'm guessing PS5 will receive games for at least 7 more years.
Might as well wait until the PS6 Pro to upgrade. Well, I am interested in the PS6 Portable...
Re: Sony Signs Award-Winning Korean Girl Group QWER to Promote PS5 This Christmas
I already have a launch PS5 & Pro. But I suppose I could buy another if they want me to...
Re: Sony's India Hero Project Brings a Cosy Adventure Game to PS5 in April 2026
I've had it on my Steam wish list for a while now but I didn't realize there is a demo for PS5 and Steam.
I prefer to play these type of games on a handheld. I'll probably download it and give it a shot on my Steam Deck OLED.
Re: Rumour: Dead Space Is 'On Ice', Could Be Sold Off to Help Cover EA's Acquisition Debt
Such a shame. Dead Space Remake is so good! I was looking forward to Dead Space 2 Remake.
The original trilogy holds up well and plays great on my Steam Deck OLED!
EA might as well sell it if they have no plans to continue the series.
After playing through Cronos The New Dawn. I think Bloober Team would do a great job with the Dead Space franchise.
Re: Sony Allegedly Encouraging Devs to Use PS5's New Low Power Mode, Prompting Fresh PS6 Handheld Speculation
Sony handhelds always look and feel so premium. So i'm excited for the PS6 portable! More so than the PS6 console itself.
I'd take a PS Portal OLED to hold me over for a few years until the PS6 portable.
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS5 Trophies Same as PS4, Easy Platinum Trophy
I need to try to actually complete the game for once before I go for the Platinum. Now to decide whether to play it on PS5 Pro or Switch 2.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Huge Patch 1.1 Out Now on PS5, Adds New Game+, Armour, and Much More

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 608
PS5 Pro- Platinumed Ghost of Yōtei last night and Astro Bot this morning.
I might start Cronos The New Dawn tonight.
Switch 2- Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 arrived in the mail yesterday. I'll start Mario Galaxy 1, Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma, Overcooked 2 NSW2 Edition
Steam Deck OLED- Bioshock Remastered, Shenmue 2, Mad Max, Zombie Army 4 (horde mode)
Re: First PS Plus Extra Game for December 2025 Announced
Guess I'll keep my PS4 copy sealed and play the digital PS5 version.
I wonder how come no 120hz mode for the PS5? The PS4 version already runs at 60fps on PS5 through backwards compatibility.
Re: Highly Anticipated RPG Remake Trails in the Sky 2nd Chapter Confirmed for 2026 Release
Chapter 1 was amazing, great graphics and 120hz mode. Super smooth experience on PS5 Pro!
The ending left me wanting more. I can't wait for chapter 2! Day one purchase!
Re: Silent Hill F Made Easier in Difficulty Overhaul, Adds Casual Mode
How about a performance patch for the Pro? Because the frame rate really tanks at times, especially later on in the game.
That's why i'm still waiting on my Platinum run. Other than that, it's a great game!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 606
PS5 Pro - Ghost of Yōtei, Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered
Steam Deck OLED - Dead Space Remake (Impossible mode run), Ghostbusters The Video Game Remastered, Mad Max, Shenmue
Switch 2 - Overcooked 2 NSW2 Edition, Rune Factory Guardians of Azuma NSW2 Edition
Re: Xbox Shortchanges PS5 Fans Yet Again with Another Shoddy Physical Release
Great, I'll pick up a used copy years down the line for dirt cheap, that way Microsoft doesn't get any of my money.
Which is a shame because I enjoyed The Outer Worlds 1.
I'll do the same for Doom The Dark Ages, Oblivion Remastered, and Indiana Jones...
Re: Here's How Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Holds Up on the $1,000 ROG Xbox Ally X
Still not worth $1000 to me.
If I want to enjoy Spider-Man on a portable device, I can play it on my Steam Deck OLED via remote play from my PS5 Pro on an OLED display with HDR that looks similar to my LG C1 OLED TV on a handheld screen. Running at 60fps with some ray tracing.

Re: Bethesda Finally Announces Oblivion Remastered Physical Edition Is Real
They should wait until the game is fully patched and in working order before they decide to release a proper physical.
I'll hold off for a sale of $20 or less before I pick this up.
Re: Silent Hill F Selling Faster Than Silent Hill 2, Already at 1 Million Units
@Oram77 Nice!
Have you played Cronos? I'm looking forward to playing that after I'm finished with SH f.
Honestly, I forgot about Townfall. Do you know whose working on that one?
I'm hyped for SH1 Remake!
Re: Silent Hill F Selling Faster Than Silent Hill 2, Already at 1 Million Units
Love to see it! Great game!
I know playing through the same game multiple times to understand the full story might not be for some. But I'm enjoying it. And I'm currently on my second playthrough.
I want to see all the endings and unlockables this game has to offer. Plus, I need that Platinum trophy.

If so, maybe playing on the smaller Steam Deck OLED screen via remote play would make the shimmering less noticeable?
Re: Ghost of Yotei (PS5) - The Greatest Sucker Punch Game Ever
I expected nothing less from Sucker Punch, especially after Ghost of Tsushima.
Seems like Ray Tracing Pro mode will be the way to go on PS5 Pro.
Is there gyro aiming with the bow/rifle? If not, I'll have to use the Steam Deck OLED to force gyro aiming.
With Cronos, Silent Hill f, & Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter to play through. I'll probably pick up a copy of Yotei around Thanksgiving.
Re: September 2025's PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
Nice! I'll play Crow Country and Conscript.
I think these games would be perfect to play on a portable device.
So remote play via Steam Deck OLED it is.

Re: PS5 Is the Only Console with a Proper Physical Copy of Cronos: The New Dawn
I thought it was digital only at first which made me sad.
I noticed it was up for pre-order on Amazon yesterday and put my order in for a PS5 copy.
If the Switch 2 version wasn't a game key card, I would have double dipped. Oh well, I'll use that money towards Silent Hill f instead.
Re: Rumour: Leaked PS6 Specs Reveal Affordable, Power Efficient Next-Gen Console
@kmtrain83 Yes, it's becoming more difficult for us physical collectors, especially with these portable devices. (PS Portal, PSP 2?)
PS Premium has made my Portal experience more enjoyable with a large library of digital games to choose from.
I think since the PS6 will be backwards compatible with PS4/PS5, that we will have at least one more generation with an optional disc drive.
I'll keep my PS5 Pro to play all of my disc-based games, just in case.
Another Plus is having years of PS Plus monthly games tied to my account.
Re: Rumour: Leaked PS6 Specs Reveal Affordable, Power Efficient Next-Gen Console
Most of my PS4/PS5 collection is on disc. So a disc drive is important to me.
At least it will be another long cross gen. So if the PS6 is digital only. I'll stick with my PS5 Pro and see what PS6 Pro has to offer.
I'm interested in the handheld. To natively play through extra/premium subscription games and remote play.
Re: Round Up: Silent Hill F Previews Rave About Upcoming PS5 Horror
I'm so hyped for Silent Hill f! My PS5 Pro and I are ready!
2 Silent Hill games in 1 year. Silent Hill 1 being remade. I love to see the comeback for this series!

Re: GTA 4 PS5, PS4 Port Rumours Continue to Pick Up Pace
Having just played through GTA IV on my Steam Deck OLED. The game holds up and it's such a joy to play. I prefer it over GTA V.
I'd love physical copies of GTA IV for PS5 & Switch 2, please.
The 360 version runs at 60fps on my Series X, but the 720p low graphics settings look very dated on a large 4K OLED TV.
Re: The Atelier Franchise Sure Is Taking Over PS5 Today
Same day as Silent Hill f? I'll have to pick up both games, unless this one is digital. Then I'll wait for a sale.
I haven't even finished Atelier Ryza 1, or started Yumia. Plus the Atelier Ryza Trilogy was just announced!
Pre orders are available at Best Buy for the physical version.
Re: Death Stranding 2 Is Causing Some PS5s to Overheat

Or is this just a base PS5 problem?
Re: Little Nightmares 3 Out 10th October, Pre-Order for First Game's Remaster
Silent Hill f in late September and this in mid October. Hopefully, Chronos somewhere around there too. Spooky season is shaping up nicely!
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Is in Demand, Reaches 1 Million Wishlists
@Oram77 I'll take RE0 also, but I hope they add local and online co-op to it. Personally, I was not a fan of swapping back and forth between two characters and having to manage both inventory slots. It was very cumbersome and took me out of the experience.
Re: Resident Evil Requiem Is in Demand, Reaches 1 Million Likes

Re: Stellar Blade Dev Says 'Nothing Confirmed' Regarding Switch 2 Port Rumours
If they have a proper physical release (no game key card) i'd gladly double dip and pick up a copy of Stellar Blade for my Switch 2, instead of the Steam version for my Steam Deck OLED.
With all of the hentai games, flooding the Nintendo Eshop. I don't see why it couldn't happen, lol.
Maybe the Switch 2 version could have some custom skins for Eve (Samus, Zelda, Princess Peach, ect) kind of like Fatal Frame, had for the Wii U back in the day.
Re: There's a Lot of Hype for PS5 Horror Cronos: The New Dawn
From Silent Hill 2, to this and then Silent Hill 1 Remake! Bloober is cooking!
My PS5 Pro is Ready! I'm here for it all!
Re: 'Good Luck with That' - The Outer Worlds 2 $80 Price Has Gone Down Horribly with PS5 Players
Not a big deal for me. Play it on Day 1 via Game Pass on my Seriex X. Pickup a physical copy for PS5 Pro after a price drop.
I know most people do not have the luxury of owning multiple platforms per generation.
This is just how I plan to do it.
Re: PS Plus Premium Games for June and July 2025 Confirmed, Resident Evil 2, 3 This Summer
Looking forward to playing RE 2 & 3 since I've never played the originals (crazy, I know)

Twisted Metal 3 & 4 will be interesting to revisit. I enjoyed them as a kid. But that was over 20 years ago...

Re: Silent Hill F Right Around the Corner, Out on PS5 This September

Day 1 purchase. My PS5 Pro is ready for this!
Re: June 2025's PS Plus Essential Games Available to Download Now
Great! Now, I can keep my physical copy of Alone in the Dark sealed and on the shelf. I've been meaning to pick up a copy of Bomb Rush Cyberfunk but never got around to it. So it will be nice to try that out.
I recently took advantage of the Day's of Play sale and renewed my PS Plus Premium subscription for another year. So I'm good to go!
Re: Silent Hill 2's Proper PS5 Pro Patch Is Still in the Works
I'm glad they didn't abandon it. And they're still working on it, at least. I've had the game since day one and Platinumed it within the first week of release on my base PS5. By the time the Pro released, I had already moved on.
If they have it sorted out by October, I'll go back for another playthrough on my PS5 Pro this time, for spooky season 🎃 👻 🎃 👻
Now Bring on Silent Hill F, & Silent Hill 1 Remake, please.
