Quick question re PS5 pro. I quite fancy it but am not sure if it's going to be worth it as my TV is an LG OLED C4 55 inch. Sadly it only has HDMI 2.0 so can't do VRR 120fps for example. My sofa is 3 meters from the (55 inch) screen?
Will I see any differences or will it be really the same realistically as usual performance mode (for those games that don't chug)?
@Balosi yep, unfortunately commuting is all part of going to the office, it takes time, can be stressful and also you have to pay for it yourself. However that's all accepted as part of the social contract.
If Ubisoft promised in the contract that staff could WFH whenever they liked and then changed the rules to mandate 3 days a week then I would agree. However I suspect there would be no contractual promise made and those who live long distance from the office were probably warned on hire to expect to be in the office at some point in the future.
Lastly, I highly doubt the majority of the workers live so far away from the office that they cannot get in, my longest commute was 2 hours each way which was painful and I would not like to do it again. I did it though and I didn't go on strike about it (although it was the main driver for me to look for work elsewhere after a couple of years).
Well I've thoroughly enjoyed the most 1. Stellar Blade 2. Helldivers 2 3. Still Wakes the Deep 4. Currently just starting chapter 4 of Black Myth Wukong. (5. Astrobot is currently top of my pile of shame).
@C25CLOUD indeed, however I think unless you sit pretty close (<1m) to a 65'' 4K TV, you won't see the uptick in resolution that the pro brings at 60fps.
@LavenderShroud Ah I see, well I've played both of those before (a fair few years ago to be sure) and never heard of them being described as 'cosy' so I guess it's a new label.
Same thing that surrounds Vladimir Putin by the sounds of it.
$400 million!??!! That moment of realisation that led to the curtains coming down so soon after release must have been a real sickener for Hulst. I wonder who gave such a massive directive and where the red line was that made it be called?
It's rather pricey, I would have gone to £50 for the lifetime membership myself and even then I would have thought about it (and probably regretted it afterwards).
Although there are a few diamonds there, there is also a lot of d0g$hit to wade through.

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Offers $20 Premium 'Pay-to-Hear' Audio Tech
I can forsee a day when they offer (much like Netflix and Disney plus) 'resolution' levels, where basic is 1080p and premium is 4k for £20 more.
Keep squeezing that udder!!
Re: PS5 Pro Adds Ray Tracing to Alan Wake 2 in Big Tech Improvement
@Nexozi @babybilly @Medic_alert @GamerGuy1970 @Voltan
Thanks for all your responses, however I messed up.
I have an LG C8 55, bought in 2019, which has only hdmi 2.0a.
Don't know why I put C4, dreaming about it I guess....

Re: Ubisoft Labour Woes Spread, Milan Office Strikes in Solidarity
Wow, imagine having to go to an office to work, for 3 days a week!!!
I remember the old days of having to go in 5 DAYS A WEEK!!!!
Let that sink in for a moment.

Re: Tetris Forever Compiles Over 15 Versions in Digital Eclipse's Latest Documentary Game
I first played Tetris on the C64, and it was sublime.
I was also a huge fan of the Atari/ Tengen arcade version too.
However, Tetris Effect is the best version for me by a long way. That is all!

Re: Deals: Not Feeling the PS5 Pro? PS5 Slim Consoles Are Currently $50/£50 Off
Can't believe the PS5 Pro is almost double the PS5 RRP.
Really stings, currently on the side of waiting for PS6 (although of course I would like a PS5 pro).
Re: Alien: Isolation Sequel Announced, in Early Development
Best news of the day!!!!
How about a PS5 60fps patch or even (the Holy Grail) a PSVR2 port of Alien: Isolation please?

Re: Rumour: Days Gone PS5 Remaster Speculation Starts to Spread
I am very happy about PS5 version of Days Gone, as I am about HZD and also the rumoured Gravity Rush 2.
I am going to have to sacrifice a goat over a naked virgin at the next full moon to get the Bloodborne PS5 version/patch I think.

Re: Just Like Black Myth: Wukong, PS5 Action RPG Enotria Is Delayed Indefinitely on Xbox
The key line for me there is
"this task is nearly impossible with Microsoft taking months to reply to us when we have the game ready for submission."
Why would MS take months to reply???
MONTHS!!!!!
If that's true then Xbox doesn't deserve third party Devs support, if MS won't support the third party Devs in the first place!
