Re: New Dragon's Dogma 2 Patch Prepares for PS5 Pro with PSSR, Balanced Settings

DonJorginho

@extragood when the PS5 Pro had its initial reveal I was a huge critic, I hated the price and the video was an awful showing for its power, you can find multiple comments of me blasting/ridiculing it

Sony did such an awful job with it's reveal and it really was a huge mistake not using the likes of DF to show it off, as once I saw more analysis on their end I was sold and the £699 was no longer a hindrance.

Re: Soulslike Lords of the Fallen Resurrects with 40% Higher Pixel Density on PS5 Pro

@Northern_munkey will it be worth the image quality sacrifices though? Even MHW, the performance mode is a blurry ghosting mess, and that will get worse for the majority of third party games as the generation moves forward.

I think the delayed cross gen period has perhaps made people have unrealistic expectations for the lifespan of 60fps gaming on the base model, at least with good IQ.

@atthegates that’s the whole point of PS5 Pro though, patches like these are easier to implement than ever thanks to PSSR, the devs don’t NEED to slave over the computers working the code to make things work, it’s a plug and play approach which thanks to the Pro will be even better on the PS6.

Devs aren’t doing this whilst doing their best Mr Burns impression against the players on the base PS5. If it wasn’t for the easy nature of the PSSR implementation and the extra headroom offered by the Pro, it wouldn’t be possible.

@Pat_trick I did watch that mate! Was interesting to hear a more negative view point and some of the criticisms made by SkillUp were things that would annoy me, that’s why I love games though and the differences of opinions, like how SkillUp didn’t like TLOU II but I loved it, same with how IGN didn’t like Days Gone or Death Stranding and I loved those, I love how art is so subjective and I adore the debates that spawn from said art.

I’ll definitely have to give DA:TVG a go, I’ve got it coming for release but have so many games to play on the pro first it’ll have to wait lmao

Re: Spider-Man 2 Won't Receive Any PS5 Story DLC

Spider-Man 2 was disappointing to me, but broken? No chance, I had one minor glitch on my end and in my 35 hours getting the platinum it was pretty damn smooth sailing.

I’m glad they’re moving onto Venom/Wolverine as SM2 is not going to age well at all in terms of its story and open world.

Re: Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered Sounds Like a Ridiculously Good PS5 Upgrade

@Gewertzx You say that, but what even is “woke”.

Lots of grifters called Silent Hill 2 Remake woke for making Angela “look like a man”, but it’s just sold 1m copies in 3 days, so that can’t be a failure can it?

Woke is a buzzword used for people who aren’t eloquent enough to critique things, games like Starfield and Concord don’t fail because they’re woke, they fail because they’re bland and lacking ambition, they’re by the numbers games looking to reach wider audiences whilst failing to captivate any of the specific niches enough to become long term fans.

Horizon has been a success, but that’s simply because pretty robot dinosaur games are a hard concept to fail at.

@Gewertzx I think the Horizon games are pretty average outside of visuals/combat, but let’s not lie here and pretend there weren’t a million edits on twitter and other social media forums going around for Horizon Forbidden West talking how the game was “woke” as it had made Aloy look “fat and ugly”.

That definitely plays a part for some of the hate it gets online, right wing grifters will over hate on anything that isn’t a white straight male on the cover, only exception is when a female character is overly sexualised like in Stellar Blade!

Re: Deals: Not Feeling the PS5 Pro? PS5 Slim Consoles Are Currently $50/£50 Off

DonJorginho

@Rich33 it’s because Sony aren’t pushing the pro in that way, the pro is a premium option that is made directly for its exact level of demand, they know they’re targeting a niche amount of the fanbase who want this kinda option, now the plan is to cut the price of the standard models to get more casual/middle of the road consumers into the ecosystem hoping there’ll be more to buy the next console/pro refresh.
