With DRAM prices skyrocketing because of AI centres what do you expect then add GPU prices as well. Storage is also on the rise so that will effect the prices of what Valve pay for them to be manufactured
Im looking into a 2nd PS5 for upstairs as the one downstairs on the main TV is in use for TV, but it wouldnt mean my girlfriend can have her own and then we can co-op more.
Hoping for that near £300 price drop even if its the one with the lower original Storage I have A WD 1TB NVME black not in use
@EfYI Agreed and next year they will be pushing for more digital releases than physical, I also dont think that Perfect Dark cancellation has helped either yet another company thats been effected by MS profit and cancelling path
Pete Parsons and his motley crew took the piss out of Sony on this one, I would love to see if he paid himself some bonuses so he could get more cars for his collection.
The purchase was a joke it really was on top of that add the $400 million loss on Concord a game no one wanted except Herman Hulst and it's been a pretty bad year or more for Sony
They ended up paying $3.7 billion for a company that's isn't even what it was when they bought them. Little Pete Parsons sacked most of the talent while he made sure himself and his little friends kept their jobs. Now Destiny 2 on steam barely had 18k players as of right now 7.15pm UK time it's got 22k playing right now
@Robocod I don't even bother trying to browse the store because I'm fed up of the asset flip shovelware crap. There's proper good game out there and yet are pushed down the list from this crap
Still it's not their best generation because the issues it faced, COVID, demand, lack of units and price. As for games pushing it's AAAs a side it has been a lot for remasters which in turn are great but would loved to have some from forgotten IPs more.
I'm really interested in one now because most of the week the main TV is used for Sky Q and my pc is on WiFi right now but remote play doesn't work with that like it did with wired (which I'll be doing soon). But R.P in in 720p even though my connection is brilliant and should be 1080p, but having it in my hands to carry on my games somewhere else in the house sounds great
I really am interested in getting one for streaming purposes when I cant play on the main tv, Remote Play via PC is on and off because it always does 720p. Connection is solid but wont do 1080p unless you need a fking Pro like PS4 days
@carlos82 How do you get it to work I do have a PS2 chunky but the coin battery needs replacing and its right at the bottom and you have to completely gut it to get to it.
Its annoying that the time and date dont save but would love to play SSX tricky with enhancements
@Balaam_ Online trophies should be separate from the main list as extras and shouldn't be tied to the Platinum if they ever shut down the servers preventing you from getting them in the future
I don't bother looking at the store anymore if a game pops up on the first page I add it to my wishlist and then wait for it to be on sale. I hate scrolling through deals because of all the shovelware
I just re subbed again to claim Alan Wake 2 but my girlfriend is playing online games with her parents at the moment but as soon as it drops or I don't get to play much I will cancel again
They really should do a new Tekken Vs Street Fighter
Or
Since fighting games are on the rise we need Soul Calibur, Bloody Roar and Dead or Alive (which might not happen since Tomonobu Itagaki died but they could do a new one in remembrance) Hell even Rival Schools could do with a remake
@get2sammyb Th store is flooded with crap that's the issue, but it would be licensing issues which to personally honest needs modernization. Ever since PS3 and the store finally got off to a okay start many were wondering when with PS1 and 2 games come and ever since then till now they've dribbled out games for those platforms
Can't tell me the shareholders of Sony aren't pissed about this after the loss of £400 mill for concord, then that Bungie purchase which was always an overpriced joke on them and Pete Parsons proved it when it pissed off after sacking loads of talent now look at the game.
The PS2 library especially for the UK has mainly been the same since Sony first launch PS2 games on PS3s PSN. They really don't care about backwards compatibility at all they drip feed games every year or 2 just to keep those who like it fed.
Nintendo shoved there's behind a subscription system and also slowly brings out games but it's faster than Sonys attempt. Microsoft stopped a while back at around 600 360 games out of 2000, but if they want to do this so called new box not just for XSX games and be able to access your steam etc they may want to look into that 360 program again but I doubt they will.
The licenses system really needs to be updated and modernised it really does
There was nothing wrong with the Library level in fact nothing was wrong with the game at all, so basically they will make it easier for people jesus.
Still think the level where the Flood come in but you see the video of the Marine head cam is one for the best gaming scenes ever made, the music to that and the intense of the level already of an unknown enemy that's ripped open Covenant already made perfectly scary
More like it will steal precious voice actors voices if they don't sort that out wasn't they on strike because of that
I can't imagine the errors and bugs that will be let through I mean remember the zombie Santa from COD is bad 6 fingers FFS on one hand. Even the knew superman there's a part with his dog where his foot super stretches and they didn't even notice it
Considering all the ***** that Arrowhead have done last few weeks with YouTube influencers and then after months of BS. Finally acknowledged the performance issues delayed content to focus on it finally and a big patch is coming next week
The game on PC is 143gb it has double of each asset in the game to make it work better for people on "Mechanical Hard drives" apparently
@UltimateOtaku91 Thanks for that I didn't know that Samsung increased the service I have a S23 FE so it's good to know that they are still support it 6 years as I don't need another upgrade for a long while.
When the live service market has been over saturated for years now, Sony lose £400 million on a game that lasted 1 or 2 days before it was pulled. Destiny 2 bleeding players over the last 2 years that alone and marathon basically has no interest at all should be indicators that you shouldn't be doing a live service game
Bioware making a live service game Anthem which basically was a flop and support was pulled a year later, and that's from a single player development studio again should be another indicator
@Can-You-Believe-Sith It's already happened some people had an AI running and then went to shut it down, the AI realised this and copied itself to another machine. When they asked why it copied itself to the other machine it denied all knowledge of it and lied
Got the first one one PC it's good fun can be hard but fun when doing the story to unlock stuff, but I heard 2 wasn't worth the purchase as it wasn't any different I may look this one see how it is compared to 1
Sounds like a feature they are getting used to test for the handheld and Probably PS6, one thing AMD have been good at with it's CPUs alone is power draw and so it maybe research for it's new chips coming
Speaking of this though how low does it drop the frame rate then has anyone actually tested it or seen a review on it
Sony should go back in time and do a PS2 era of gaming for PS6, I mean go all out and push for indies and as many different genres as possible to please the mass market. Yes it may not sell many PS6 systems because they would still have to please PS5 customers like myself but it would mean a decent revenue of software sales.
Also get rid of the crap and shovelware off it's store once and for all, bring back some old IPs it's had dormant and lease them out to 3rd party Devs. They get a game made and the 3rd party studio means they have work for it's staff and we get a game so everybody wins
@Can-You-Believe-Sith They are sacking people, closing down studios to fund the CEO and shareholders obsession in the A.I race.
Microsoft, Nvidia, AMD etc are all in it to win as they don't want to pass on another Google potential like Google did when they became the no.1 search engine. Microsoft have always been a software company first they had there a dab in hardware and it worked for original Xbox and 360, then Don Mattrick who was in charge and was known to despise the Xbox brand basically helped launch the start of its Xbox downfall the X1
Sarah bond, Matt Booty are there to see it through Phil Spencer had no choice to either get on bored or go, then again I don't think he anything for Xbox at all anyway.
I bought Batman The Enemy Within for £4 full game last week as I loved the Telltale series of the first one and this so far has been just as good. I was going to get the Destiny 1 content for £4 as well but I don't have PS+ any more so I didn't bother I was tempted to get the digital version of Skyrim PS5 version for £8 on ladt sale but I knew since it was ending midnight they'd have a new one.
Shame when I browse it brings up too much ***** during the search which thank god I can't find lists on the current sales
