With all this penny pinching they still need to make sure the PS6 is a decent upgrade on the PS5 Pro. If it's not, I'll hold off and wait for the PS6 Pro. As with the talk of it being something like the switch 2, that functionality doesn't interest me.
@Ellie-Moo Wow they sold out fast. Great to be able to get them as I think they look stunning. Nice getting both controllers. I was originally going to go for both controllers but got the 30th anniversary edition when they opened up again.
Hopefully I can get the Pro covers and gold controller. I decided to go for the anniversary grey controller when they reopened the orders instead of getting the black Yotei controller.
@Blauwe_Chimay don't think it's about being able to see yourself, more about what people see when shooting u. I'm hoping they keep it sensible. COD is awful for the skins.
Glad some action is being take to stop such obvious copyright infringement. Don't get anyone that thinks copying a game and slightly changing it makes it OK. Sony should have gone all in on the damages. When u say "irreparable injury" you think of a high number, as high as possible.
From the way things are going the only reason to buy the next gen Xbox is just for gamepass and if u care about playing PC games. At this point I'll just keep the series X until it dies and will replace the PS5 Pro with the PS6.
Really hope it's a streaming device like the portal and not something that will limit games. Like how all series X games have to be able to run on the series S.
So the theory from Ghost of Tsushima is that Jin's mother is fox and father is the bird. Or the other way round, so would make sense that Jin would want to assist the next ghost. Def has to be a mythic tale about Jin in Yotei. If his story is cannon then it'll be known about by those in this game.
Glad that the revenge on the 6 isn't the be all end all of the game. Had been thinking it might have been the whole thing and then that would just be additional stories through the side quests.
Comparing to AC Shadows, I wiped out a circle of more people with no idea who they were or why they needed to die. Was just messing about exploring and stumbled into this house which started a cutscene where I ended up fighting and killing what turned out to be the main guy. Then a pile of people turn up at his house after I killed him and they're all on the circle! So they all died. ππ
@Migoshuro Yea GoT was just a matter of pressing the button to instantly get it. Though also think it was good in away when just out and about on the horse taking in the scenery u could just grab stuff and keep walking. Rather than having to get off the horse and then collect. There wasn't the same sort of emphasis with it in the way it was done in Horizon. Like having to create ur arrows out of what u gathered. I think that is harder to implement in a game like Ghosts. As your main weapon is the sword. They could make it more interesting. It will be interesting to see what all they use the collecting for. I wouldn't like it to change into like a necessary thing for survival. Like being able to create ur own health potions would be a good implementation. It would not be good if it was a matter of gathering to feed yourself to keep ur energy up in the game. Think that would be overkill. I have Avatar in my backlog but haven't got playing it yet. The ever growing backlog! Sounds interesting but does it not get tedious? Is it like a mini game and is there any variation?
People complaining about collecting stuff with the press of a button. How else are u going to collect stuff if not pushing a button on the controller? Swiping on the touch pad would get real old real fast. Also did nobody collect anything when playing through Ghost of Tsushima? Flowers, bamboo, "supplies" etc.
@Nem Thankfully there's only 2 in my house. So I don't have that issue. π Sure even the portal did really well because of the reason u say. I've my gaming room / office upstairs. I'm not against the switch at all, it's just not something I personally see myself using or needing. I have the PS5 Pro and series X. There's too much to play on them as it is. Honestly my 1st post was just stating what I thought about the differences and making a joke that my friend was saying last night as to why he wasn't getting the new one when so many others are. Those 2 things have really seemed to offend some.
@Arkz No, how to take the wrong message from a throw away post I made. Like it physically attacked u or something because my preference is to play on a big screen with the PS5 over the switch. The main selling point of the switch is it's portability. That's not something I'm interested in and don't need. Therefore I'd rather play games and in my opinion better games on the PS5. I am correct in saying that the switch won't be able to play games like god of war / ghost of Tsushima etc. Not just for gameplay but also for how great they look and the experience. Though that opinion probably hurts u. People are allowed to have different options to u it's ok. Ur not the main character in this world.
Edit: I'm going to ignore u now because ur obviously a Nintendo fan boy.
@Arkz I didn't say that graphics wins over gameplay. So that's a dumb take from the start. I just said for me it'll not beat playing the PS5 or now the PS5 Pro. I don't need something I can take with me so prefer playing on a big oled. Yes the PC beats PS5 / PS5 Pro in terms of graphics. Big whoop, it also costs more and adds a ton of hassle with drivers. Though I'm confused. I thought u just opened ur argument stating that gameplay beats graphics. Then go on to say ur PC is so amazing with graphics. So an even dumber take from you. My post stating it only has 1 game was because I was speaking to friend of mine today that is a massive Nintendo fan but was refusing to buy it because it only has 1 new game.
If ur not sure what the PS5 launched with u could just Google. Here's the first link I got when googling.
Switch 2 with 1 game and less power than an Xbox series S will never be able to match playing on PS5 / PS5 Pro. The only reason I could see for having a switch in general is a love for Nintendo and doing a lot of commuting on a train.
@Frmknst ππππππ What a funny take. I'm guessing u weren't gaming when Halo and Halo 2 were released. Or haven't even played any of the games at all.
I'd guess it's going to be the remake of the original. Which is going to be released on PS5 as well as on xbox. Going by what was said at the MS showcase it could be released early next year.
After playing on the series X since it released (gamepass), I decided to buy it for the PS5 Pro. I'm glad I did, the game looks stunning. Only annoying thing is I can't get my car on the PS5 version. π Hopefully it'll get added to the backstage pass at some stage.
