@Cutmastavictory Subjective but fair play that is your opinion. Even Xbox with the option of a day 1 service dont always take the option up.
I see value in competing with that. But again I am also being subjective. Just opinions which in the gaming community are always wildly varied vs say Film or TV.
@get2sammyb @Cutmastavictory in the online space they have. PS2 online was.... not so good. PS3 they started to catch up with XBL. Now Game Pass and PS Now for me needs to catch up.
I should have been more specific. In terms of first party software its the other way around and they have always been ahead.
That is why I have always referred to a GP equivalent as the last piece of the puzzle.
Game Pass isnt for everyone. But it would be good for PS Now to get on a similar level.
Sony have been reactive in recent years, we need to know what their reaction is to Microsoft's recent moves, will PS Now receive an overhaul?
For me if PS Now can compete with Game Pass Sony can leverage it's install base advantage to good effect.
My opinion but it is the only thing they are behind on at the minute, Sony have the first party software nailed, the intuitive hardware nailed, just that last piece of the puzzle.
Taking this with a pinch of salt but given my TV is black, my Sky Q box is black/blue, my Xbox One X soon to be Series X is black, my soundbar is black, the ability to change PS5 casing would be priceless here or it's going to stand out and not in a good way. Lol.
@Dodoo Mattrick was on another level, unfair on Spencer that, he's simply marketing his product, that he has a lot of faith in.
Well documented Mattrick had no faith in Xbox. Spencer started at MS as an intern, he has faith in the brand, he's genuine even if he does oversell it sometimes.
I don't think the upgrade will be significant enough beyond reduced loading times and slightly sharper graphics to warrant being concerned about it to be honest.
Amazon Placeholders/Microsoft Store leaks etc all cause a stir, but the fact people were queuing outside shops to do it based off a rumour on social media, is priceless.

Re: Interview: How Survival Horror Game Tormented Souls Brings Back the Mechanics of Old
I am an old school horror fan and this right on my radar.
Re: The Walking Dead Onslaught Brings the Walkers Back to PSVR Next Month
@BranJ0 @bbauer36 thanks both - might take the plunge. I want Iron Man VR but baby steps perhaps and all that!
Re: The Walking Dead Onslaught Brings the Walkers Back to PSVR Next Month
@Daleaf @naruball thanks both!
Re: The Walking Dead Onslaught Brings the Walkers Back to PSVR Next Month
I have not jumped on the PSVR train yet but I am tempted to this month.
Worried about splashing out on it and just getting motion sick all the time though, anyone own one already with any thoughts on that?
Re: Reaction: The Spotlight Is Now on PS5's Launch Lineup
If they really want to get the chequebook out - Put Miles Morales on PS Plus at launch.
Pipedream...
Re: Feature: What Will Be Announced During the Latest State of Play?
@nessisonett I'm sure YMCA could be reworked to include S.T.A.R.S somehow.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for This Week, Will Focus on PS4 and PSVR Games Along with Some PS5 Game Updates
This kinda makes sense although the messaging is confusing.
These PS4 and PSVR games will be on PS5 too, so I would expect some third party PS5 reveals as they will be on both consoles.
Would love to see more on Resident Evil Village for example. The rumoured third party exclusives may also appear on both consoles.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 335

Re: PS5 Completely Outpacing Xbox Series X in Terms of Popularity, Says New Research
@WallyWest MS going the way of Sega is about as likely as North Korea winning the next Fifa World Cup frankly, they have too much money behind them.
Re: PS5 Completely Outpacing Xbox Series X in Terms of Popularity, Says New Research
I think it's going to be a tight race.
I'm just concerned my poor Switch is sat here wondering if all it has got to look forward to over the next 12 months is being used for Paper Mario...

Re: PS Plus August 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Step in the right direction, hoping for an overhaul of PS Plus and PS Now going into PS5 launch, missing piece of the puzzle for me.
Re: Can You Name These PS2 Games?
12 out of 15 and now a sudden urge to find a PS2 emulator to replay Shadow of Memories.
The concept of that game was years ahead of its time.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 334

Fable 3
Xenoblade Chronicles
Gears 5
Ghosts of Tsushima
Last of Us 2
Sunset Overdrive

I don't think the upgrade will be significant enough beyond reduced loading times and slightly sharper graphics to warrant being concerned about it to be honest.

Re: Codemasters Confirms DIRT 5 Free PS5 Upgrade Option, Returning Modes with New Trailer
@carlos82 At the moment EA are doing free upgrades. But I wouldnt put it past them.

Re: Codemasters Confirms DIRT 5 Free PS5 Upgrade Option, Returning Modes with New Trailer
@DigiTM when you put your PS4 disk into the PS5, it will detect the hardware and download the necessary graphical updates.
Re: Codemasters Confirms DIRT 5 Free PS5 Upgrade Option, Returning Modes with New Trailer
@carlos82 I would expect Activision to follow 2k as well.
