Re: PS5 Price Increase Confirmed for UK, Europe, Japan, Canada, and More

Hilarious to see people defending this in the comments. Why do you feel the need to side with a billion-dollar corporation that couldn't give two ***** about you? All they want to do is extract all the money from your wallet.

The only way this will stop happening is if people stop taking it. Everything going up in price is not an excuse for this to happen - it's a reason for this to be avoided. Late stage capitalism is destroying the hobby a lot of us love, yet people are still queued up to defend these leeches.

Re: Poll: Is The Last of Us: Part 1 Really a 'Cash Grab'?

@naruball You're absolutely right. It can be both unnecessary and not a cash grab. They are not mutually exclusive.

That is exactly where I sit on this debate; it cannot be a cash grab due to the amount of effort which has clearly been put into it. However, it's an unnecessary remake as the original is not old enough to warrant it. The remastered version for PS4 still looks and plays great.

It would be a much more interesting proposition to me of it was priced at £40, rather than £70.

@PaperAlien We grew up with PAL versions because a lot of TVs had 50hz refresh rates.

The issue now is that pretty much all TVs run at 60hz (or 120hz) so there are frame pacing issues (the display image only refreshes 50 times on a 60hz screen). Some people are not sensitive to this, but others are.

In this day and age the NTSC versions are vastly superior because they run at the same refresh rate as modern TVs.

@ShogunRok Imagine trying to mass produce this....

That was a fantastic video. Really impressive stuff. The console looks gorgeous as well. Cheating slightly with the lower temps due to having the power supply outside of the system. But still, brilliant work.

Re: Xbox Appeared to Embargo PS5, PS4 Versions of Some Showcase Games

@SuperPotato316 People are hoping the switch announcement is being saved for a Nintendo Direct. It's the type of daft thing I could totally see Nintendo doing... I hope it's true though. I mean, I'll play P4 on Playstation if needs be but it's really handy to have 100 hour RPGs in handheld form for me.

Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Ditch E3 Stage Shows Like Nintendo?

Hell yes! I've been saying for years that the live press conferences are archaic and a waste of time. They are cringeworthy and just awkward at times. I was very impressed with Nintendos showing this year and would love to see 'the big two' follow suit.

One thing that bothers me in these conferences is the insistence on showing the first 5 minutes of a game. It totally ruins it for when you get round to playing it yourself surely? I'm all for gameplay trailers - just mix them up and don't give too much away.
