You had me at Dualsense motion sensors. I still need to play all of the other Dark Pictures Anthology games.

That sucks. I haven't turned my Pro on yet today. Been playing Steam Deck OLED & Switch 2. Guess I'll wait until later this evening to see if this is resolved before I finish Fatal Frame 2. I need my trophies to properly sync up.

The true test will be the outside areas in Silent Hill F towards the end of the game. The frame rate would absolutely tank on Pro during those sections where the town is completely overrun.

Damn! I just played through this game again a few months back on my Pro with remote play via Steam Deck OLED with gyro aiming! It was glorious!

Guess I'll go back and check out the Pro update once it drops.

60fps mode with ray tracing? Uncapped mode without ray tracing? Add gyro please!

Looks like it's about time to go back for that Silent Hill F Platinum.

I have Rise of the Ronin in the backlog.

I'll test out Control to see if it maintains a steady 60fps with ray tracing on.

Let's see if Silent Hill 2 looks any better on Pro.

I put my Rebirth playthrough on pause in anticipation for that June update.

PS5 Pro- Fatal Frame 2, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, Monster Hunter Stories 1

Switch 2- Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Raid Mode), Xenoblade Chronicles X Switch 2 Edition

Steam Deck OLED- Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Raid Mode), RE 7, Rage, Fallout 3 GOTY, Black Mesa, Prototype

Slitterhead is still sitting on my shelf unopened. I should play it one of these days. I'm looking forward to whatever new project this team is working on. Hopefully, it's a horror game.

Two of my favorite games! Too bad I've Platinumed them both. But this will give me a reason to go back and dabble with em a bit.

While you're at it, add gyro aiming to Control. You did it with Alan Wake 2.

Hopefully, Silent Hill 2 and F receive the same treatment soon. Add Chronos to that list as well.

@SystemAddict Makes no sense. This is only the third game I can think of capped at 30fps this gen. Which is a shame, because Fatal Frame 4 and 5 are excellent on PS5/Pro & Switch.

Looks like i need to buy this on Steam sooner than later. Get my perfect game (platinum) before the additional achievements are added to game modes idk if I'll enjoy or not.

I hope the Mercenaries mode includes co-op. Because playing it solo gets old fast.

@Scottyy Yup. Capped at 30fps on all consoles. 60fps is only an option on PC. It's a good looking game, with excellent sound quality. Coming off RE Requiem, what a downgrade performance wise.

My copy arrives on Thursday. The demo left some to be desired. With the 30fps cap, high film grain, and lack of gyro while using the camera obscura. So much for being "Pro Enhanced " I'll wait for a patch or two before I start playing.

30fps on PS5 Pro, terrible film grain across the entire screen at all times, no gyro while aiming the camera, the demo crashed on me after the boss fight. Kinda thinking about canceling my pre-order 😑

@Balaam_ Severe frame drops at 30fps on Pro? Oh no. Those frames do sound fatal! Are you playing on an OLED display? The sound quality is supposed to be really good. Are you using headphones or a surround sound system? I don't mind 30fps. But if it isn't consistent, that's bad.

@BamBamBaklava89 Yes we are. Fatal Frame, Resident Evil, Silent Hill. If Nintendo announces Luigi's Mansion 4, I'll be set.

The demo hooked me. I'm picking up Pragmata on Day 1. Hopefully, the platinum will be a bit more challenging than Requiem was.

Saros, I'll wait for a sale. Returnal is fun, but not worth full price in my opinion. This looks to be the same.

Nice! I preordered my physical copy from Best Buy this morning. I'll play the demo tonight. I think I read somewhere that the game only runs at 30fps, even on PS5 Pro. Strange, if so, but I'm excited nonetheless.

I'm glad I Platinumed RE Requiem a few days ago, so my full attention will be on this game next week.

Silent Hill Town Fall later this year. Us horror fans are eating good!

A high powered box that allows me access to my entire Steam library and an optional disc drive, so I can play my physical Xbox collection on it. I'll be interested.

Steam Deck OLED got me into PC Gaming, I know nothing about building my own PC. This would be perfect for me. If executed properly.

But the new Xbox controller better have gyro built in or offer me a way to play my games using a PlayStation/Steam/Switch controller. Or it's a deal breaker for me. Gyro is a must for a lot of my games on Steam.

Strange. Ever since the last Dualsense Edge update, none of my controllers will connect to my Steam Deck OLED wired. Only through Bluetooth, which i prefer wired.

At least my DualShock 4 controllers still work wired to the Deck. I'm glad I have a few back buttons attachments. Back buttons are a must. I can't go back to standard controllers without them.

I hope Sony releases a Dualsense update to fix controller connection wired. Because it used to work just fine.

Phenomenal game and very well deserved! I earned my Platinum yesterday (4 playthroughs/33 hours) and loved every minute I spent playing RE Requiem.

Looks stunning on PS5 Pro at 60fps with ray tracing and feels great at 120fps with ray tracing off. I love how well Capcom implemented the gyro this time around. My aim was on point, haha.

I'll double dip eventually, to play on my Steam Deck OLED. After a price drop.

@dschons Yes! You will not be disappointed with the gyro in this game. I put the sensitivity all the way up (20) and it feels great. That's playing at 60fps. Playing in HFR at 120fps, the gyro will be even more responsive.

Yup, since 10PM last night. Took my Pro out of the bedroom and hooked it up to the 77" OLED in my living room.

It looks absolutely stunning and the gyro implementation was so well done this time. With a proper sensitivity slider. Well done, Capcom.

Make sense because Requiem looks phenomenal on the Pro. I started my playthrough last night. Easily one of the best looking games I've seen on Pro, so far.

Maximum Carnage, Separate Anxiety, & X-Men The Arcade Game.

That childhood nostalgia is kicking in.

I'm definitely going to pre order physical copies from Limited Run for both PS5 & Switch 1/2.

First playthrough on PS5 Pro will be with ray-tracing on at 60fps. Each playthrough, after while going for the platinum, I'll do 120hz mode.

How does the gyro aiming feel? Is it just a motion sensor on/off toggle with no way to adjust the sensitivity?

I don't want to have to use my Steam Deck OLED to force better gyro because I'll miss out on all the Dualsense features. But I'll do it because gyro is king.

Good month for me. I'm looking forward to Neva, Seasons, Monster Hunter Stories 1/2, Venba & Echoes.

With RE Requiem so close to release, I'll wait before I start most of them.

Maybe, I can play through a few of the shorter games. If I can pull myself away from Steam Deck OLED and Switch 2.

I'm fine with the delay. I still have a ton of PS4 games I haven't played yet, let alone PS5.

Another three or four years of enjoyment out of my Pro. Sounds good to me.

I'll take the new PlayStation handheld. In the meantime, though, if Sony wants to drop that.

Neva, Seasons, Monster Hunter Stories 1 & 2, Venba & Echoes.

Premium offering is terrible. Besides that, a great month for me!

Trilogy is years away and we got this today? Umm idk. It looks okay. But I'd rather play it on a handheld (Steam Deck OLED, Switch 2) instead of my PS5 Pro.

I just want that FSR4 PS5 Pro update. Where is it? I hope it's announced at today's State of Play.

Yes! Just in time for Valentines Day! 💝 💝 💝

I've been wanting to play Neva for a while. That alone makes the month decent for me.

Spider-Man 2 it is great for those of you who haven't played it yet. I'd still say the first game is better though.

I own the game physically (PS4) & digitally on Playstation and Steam. So I'm good.

I just don't understand why both versions can't remain available together. More money for Sega in the long run.

Another reason why I prefer physical over digital. Yes, if you have the digital version, you can still download it after it's been delisted. I know.

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.
