This is good news but sadly I don’t need any more controllers. Sony’s pads rank among the worst for battery life in my experience and it’s a shame this isn’t how they launched.

@invictus4000 cool, how come it’s out of the china hero project?

@themightyant thanks for the info, much appreciated!

I’ll be picking this up either way but would prefer a bigger upfront install so we’ll see I guess.

Having said that I haven’t got any spare 2.5 petabyte drives lying around anyway 😂

Would rather have south of midnight. You know, if I had the choice!

Anyone know how much is included on the disc? I’m not keen on 400gb downloads.

With MS’s track record on PlayStation I’m guessing it could be 100mb 😂

@Frmknst I find 235 fps is the sweet spot

Really looking forward to seeing this. Haven’t played it since it came out but if they’ve improved the combat I’ll especially be happy.

Looking forward to trying this out. I enjoyed the building in Zelda more than i thought I would.

@PuppetMaster yes agreed, if only there was more time!

@AhmadSumadi yes that’s true as I play too many games!

Nice idea Stephen and a very good read. I have the same relationship with trophies as you!

@AhmadSumadi why limit yourself? You can love PlayStation and Nintendo at the same time. It’s not just one or the other lol

I’m glad my two platforms of choice are doing well!

The sequels are good or sometimes better than the original’s but for some reason I’ve found myself more bored playing them. I think it’s more to do with the open world design though rather than a slight on the game itself.

Please keep us abreast of updates on this one sammy.

In terms of first party it’s been underwhelming for me. Third party have filled in the gaps though. Sony seem to have dropped the ball in terms of SP releases while chasing the live service dream.

In terms of hardware I do love my pro. It’s a great bit of kit but due to the seriously long cross gen feel even now we’ve not seen the best of its capabilities.

That’s really low but not surprising. The Japanese console market really isn’t as healthy as it used to be.

Also interesting ps3/4 cross gen was 1 year, the ps4/5 cross gen 5 years!

I miss the days of the ps2 generation when we’d get 3 new gta’s in the console life span.

Lucky if we get one release per studio these days.

What’s amazing is tech are just blindly moving forward with AI tech in a lawless fashion, ignoring all the warning signs of how it can be a threat to humankind just because it’s the “next big thing.”

Yes it can be useful but it can also be dangerous.

@JohnnyShoulder @AdamNovice yeah also gta5

@Jammer agree but horizon is a low point in my opinion. I skipped almost all of the cut scenes in forbidden west as they bored me to tears 🤣

Black flops 7

That’s some seriously impressive numbers and they can add one more to that when I get round to buying it lol.

Looking forward to next year to see how much gta6 dwarfs this.

Looks as awesome as always, bring it on, hopefully in 2026!

I skipped all the dialogue and most scenes in forbidden west as the writing and characters do nothing for me. Aloy is quite unlikeable for my tastes.

The games are good overall though and look beautiful. If the melee combat is improved for the next game they’ll be even better.

@Stevemalkpus or they failed too big?

@sanderson72 yeah basically Japanese consumers are getting a favourable deal here. I guess Sony assume they’ll make up any losses through psn subs, game sales etc while gaining market share.

Is about annoying they have a price cut while our prices are going up though.

Does this have a release date or is it already out?

The casting looks good to me but can’t help think animation would have been better for this. Though what do I know?!

I mean the games look decent but for me playing games like this with touch controls sucks balls.

It’s effectively just a price cut for Japan only. That’s the only reason it’s in Japanese language and requires a Japanese psn account so people don’t import them to other markets.

By limiting it like this Sony haven’t miraculously found a way to produce them cheaper which is what the article implies.

I’m playing through forgotten west at the moment even though I bought it on release. I had bad open world fatigue but so far am loving it, it looks and plays great on the pro.

I really think devs should make a game in between sequels to help franchise fatigue set in. A different game or IP would be nice before we see Horizon 3 in my opinion.

You built up and shattered my hopes all in one second reading that title!

Definitely interested to see how this is monetised. The words free to play instantly turn me off but am interested in this so might make an exception if it’s not pay to win, full of micro transactions etc.

It goes to show they have quite a lot of wiggle room with price while still making a profit on hardware. Makes me wonder if the price increases in the west really needed to happen.

I mean I didn’t watch it but catching up on here the headlines look pretty underwhelming.

I miss the days of the ps4 gen when Sony were firing on all cylinders at e3, gamescom and psx. All in the same year, big announcements. These little random shows don’t do it for me but maybe I’m just old and grumpy lol

I’d be interested but am not in the us or japan so out of luck. Also no pricing or second usb c isn’t ideal.

Goes to show they are able to move on price when needed. Interesting considering all the increases recently.

I’d be happy with my pro for another 3-5 years.

We’re only just getting out of the ps4 cross gen and what meaningful improvements will the ps6 really bring? We have ssd’s already, graphic gains are less impressive each gen and first party output needs more time to have a decent release schedule on ps5 due to longer development cycles.

I’d be happy with a longer than usual generation this time round.

Funny how most of us on here thought at the time what a terrible deal it was yet somehow Sony didn’t see it.

Absolute zero surprises here. I still think it was just a knee-jerk reaction to MS’s deals which has turned into a disaster. At least they got insomniac for a bargain.

Good numbers in what has been a weird generation from my perspective.

Looks like Yotei has given the business a nice little boost. Out of interest does anyone know what the ps4 sold total?

No doubt GTA5 will still be in worldwide top ten charts when this comes out which is actually ridiculously insane when you think about it coming out ten or whatever years ago!

After adoring RDR1 I really wished I could get into 2 but the slow pacing bored me to turn it off and never load it again.

Maybe I’d give it another shot if it came to ps5. Amazing sales figures anyway!

By Japanese games I assume they mean Bloodborne 2? lol

Another reason why Sony would be smart to include a handheld of some description with the ps6 gen.

@Jammer yes the Orwellian future becomes reality more each day.

Damn that’s over a year. A shame but not a surprise.

Nice will have to check this out on my switch later.

Would be nice for Sony to follow suit. I love geeking out over a bit of data 😅

Congrats naughty dog but I feel your crown of best Sony developer is under threat by insomniac, sucker punch etc in the last ten years.

@IOI yeah use the remote play app on my iPad tethered to Ethernet and my dualsense.

Is good enough for when the tv’s being used by someone else.
