Re: March 2021 PS Plus Games Are Available to Download Now

GamerDad66

Adding FF7 was a shocker...

But the Plus+ version can't be upgraded on PS5.

So Square probably sees this Plus+ release as more of a glorified Demo.

They're only doing this, so people start the game and then buy again later on PS5.

Not to mention this series will probably be finished on PS5 anyway, so there's that.

On the upside, people can check out the game and then transfer your save to PS5.

Re: Sony Confirms Next Generation PlayStation VR Is in the Works for PS5

Mixed feelings here... almost wish they tried to continue with existing setup.

New Helmet will still be wired & new controller design means more expenses.

Current VR setup was at least fairly cheap for those with old Move & Nav controllers.

I would have liked to have seen how far PS5 could have pushed the original PSVR helmet.

I also care about Atmos & DV support...(from above)

I have tons of movies on BD & UHD that use top rated Atmos sound.

DV is an enhanced HDR type and I have some UHD movies with it too.

Recently bought a UHD movie player for $150 that does both instead.

Due to these limitations, my excitement for PS5 was diminished a bit.

I remember when the Wii U came out without any Dolby Decoding.

Because Nintendo didn't want to pay the licencing fee and that was it.

Or when PS4 Pro '4K' console came without a 4K optical UHD drive.

Re: Random: Cyberpunk 2077 Fans are Finding and Restoring Cut Romance Options Still Buried in the Game

After watching a lot of Cyberpunk takedowns on YouTube (like the one from BeatEmUps), I'm starting to wonder if this game has a future at all. Everyone seems to be super disappointed and it's entirety possible that CDPR will just put out a few patches and move on. Not every game is a No Man's Sky situation. There's thousands of games that are badly reviewed, then simply sink & disappear. Given the overwhelming negativity, they may just decide it's not worth it.

Re: Despite Delisting, CDPR Promises Cyberpunk 2077 Players Will Still Receive Patches on PS5, PS4

GamerDad66

This all came about because CDPR lied and covered-up the problems with the game. Then they said they should have focused more on PS4/X1, even though that was the only console version they were making for like 8 years. There are no native next gen versions yet, just BC. Then CDPR offered refunds for everyone, but dropped the mess in Sony's lap. Sony now has to deal with all the unhappy customers and problems, so they pulled the game. MS is going to keep selling for now, because they have an automated return policy based on set criteria. But they might be forced to take action at some point too, if things boil over on Xbox.

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Launch Day Isn't Going Smoothly for Every PS4 Player

Maybe they should have developed Cyberpunk as a PC title initially and then worked on the console ports afterwards. These shoddy console ports are going to damage the reputation of the developer and the franchise. I think the new Baldur's Gate game is coming out on PC first and then ported. These companies need to learn their limits.

Re: PS5 Games Won't Support PSVR, Says Sony

GamerDad66

Wow, Sony is dropping some big shoes at the last minute. PSVR is basically dead and that list of games that don't work correctly on PS5 is pretty big. Not a fan of Jim Ryan, every interview he does is more bad news.

Re: Demon's Souls PS5 Has 'a Lot of New Content'

GamerDad66

There was a website in Asia (?) that briefly listed a PS4 version of Demon's Souls. It might have been a mixup, or maybe they're planning to eventually tap the huge PS4 market. It would be a fascinating port, I'd love to see it.

Re: The Dream Is Dead: PS5 Will Not Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games

GamerDad66

Alot of people forget that Sony had already emulated the PS1 on every PS3. But then they stopped that on PS4, so they could monetize old games. After making boatloads of money in recent years, some people hoped Sony would go back to emulation for PS1 & PS2. But we knew months ago that Sony had walked away from BC, the PS5 doesn't even have a CD laser...
