@Almost_Ghostly When it's game consoles, tv's, home appliances, and automobiles I'll take plain and boring over deformed, ugly, and weird looking. The PS5 looks deformed, ugly, and weird.
I would really like to see the PS5 designs passed over for what was used.
Doing a replay of Dying Light 1 on my PS5. With 60 fps and shorter load times Its a nice improvement over playing on my PS4 PRO. It's my favorite zombie game.
However my replay has reminded me how much this game needs an fov option. Just a 15° wider view from the narrow default would make a difference and provide some feeling of peripheral vision.
I still haven't the slightest idea why Sony went from the simple functional PS4 ui to the less simple PS5 ui. There is no real need to fix or change what's not broken.
Hopefully this new ui will be more simple and functional like is the current PS4 ui. Now just add the use of DS4 controllers with PS5 games so I can use a controller I find more comfortable to use. I won't miss the Dual Sense features.
@ElectricWizard , the image here on the the right is more than upscaled, the color is different, the woman looks older, wrinkles added, and the soft focus filter is turned off. Who do they think they're try to fool? The image on the left could be just as sharp minus the wrinkly face.
I can do nearly the same side by side screenshot comparison of Borderlands 2 on my PS4 PRO with taking a screenshot of how I have my tv set for viewing, and then using the settings on my tv to lower the color, contrast, and sharpness for the comparison screeshot.
Learning video game tips and tricks started with Space Invaders. I leaned how to get 300 points every time I shot the flying saucer. Count the shots you fire, hits or misses, and then hit the saucer with the 23rd shot fired.
That's how my fuzzy memory remembers it, and the video here looks and sounds like what I remember playing many years ago.
That custom housing is a similiar design to what I was hoping for the PS5 and then the slimmer model. The PS5 design used is just ugly, has a flimsy horizontal positioning, having all black is an extra cost, the price went up after release, and the PRO model doesn't appear to make enough difference for the difference in cost.
Still rocking with my PS4 Pro which is a noticeable upgrade over the regular PS4, is a pretty all black rectangle, can do local saves, and I can screenshot anything on the internet to quickly use as a theme.
I'm on PS4, can make local backup saves, and have not played online since 2024 and will not until whenver GTA6 is finally released and I might then purchase a PS5.
The deal is I want Plus Extra but there is a paywall of needing to also pay for Essential which I do not need, including the 'free" games I rarely play.
MS and then Sony may drop the fee for online play, but both will not want to lose such easy money. Both will likely then raise prices elsewhere to maintain that easy income. Cloud backup saving should not carry a fee when local backup saving was removed.
@Cerny This disc key as opposed to an all digital copy does allow for selling, sharing, and gifting. The big downside is if someone has slow internet where 75GB could take 20 - 40 or more hours to download.
Still doing well with my PS4 Pro. If the slim PS5 had been an all black rectangle design, a ui similar to the PS4, and had a web browser I would have purchased one as soon as possible.
I still have a small backlog, the PS6 is coming, and there is the option of PC with no fees to play online. So I may just skip the PS5 gen.
There is performance then there is everything else. If the performance is poor then the everything else does not matter.
On PS5 hardware a Borderlands game at release should perform like a dream at 60fps, and with an fov slider. Exit and then reenter the game to fix the performance? Has Gearbox forgotten how to make a video game?
An fov slider was added to the first 3 Borderlands games when ported to PS4. Borderlands 3 was released with an fov slider. Wondelands added an fov slider after release. BL4 releasing without an fov slider is puzzling.
As for performance, I have played all previous Borderlands games on my PS4 and have not noticed any change in performance when using a wider than default fov. I like an fov of 90 as 70 or 75 feels narrow and removes the feeling of peripheral vision.
My premium sub ends this month. Right now I'm not too motivated to extend the sub. I will not need online play until GTA6 releases.
The big issue I have is that I had to pay for the online play this past year even though I only wanted the extra and the premium. So even if I still want extra now I see little reason to pay for the online until GTA6 online becomes available and there is a reason to pay for online play.
Let me translate this. Sony has lots of 825GB allready in stock and already paid for, and what they don't have is now probably dirt cheap. So we get that instead of the new larger ITB. Then too that drop will hopefully prompt more purchasing additional storage.
Comparing to PS2, 3, and 4 gens a regular PS5 with disc drive and 1TB drive should now be $400, and the Pro with drive and 1TB $500. Then in 2027 a 2TB slimmer slim with 2 TB for $300. My PS2 slim was $125 new as compared to the original price of $300 for a PS2.
Yes there has been inflation and skrinkflation, but unfortunately hourly pay and salaries have not kept up with rising prices.
There is problem if developers do not regularly read sites like this as well as Reddit and GTA Forums for GTA and Red Dead games. Also comments to youtube videos. All a developer needs is one gamer to sort out the negatives and trolls from the sincere. Almost any reasonable gamer can do so.
When both GTA5 and RDR2 were new the GTA Forum was a treasurer chest full of very usefull information, and still is. The trolls and trouble makers are called out quickly by the community. That one site is probable all R☆ needs for game evaluation.
Reddit has a lot of trolls but also lots of good game intormation. It's just a matter of learning to filter. Often I only need to read the title for a quick passover.
@darylb24
GTA6 will undoubtedly be playable at release on a PS5. However it will also then be playable on a PS6. Fall of 2027 or Fall of 2028 could be when the PS6 releases.
GTA5 released 2 months prior to the PS4 release in 2013. One year later in 2014 GTA5 was released on PS4. The longer GTA6 is delayed the more the possibility of it being released close to or when the PS6 is released.
News from the future: April 2026 R☆ announces GTA6 release date will be moved to Fall of 2027.
What else may be released Fall of 2027 or soon there after?
Nothing for me this month, maybe stream P to get a taste. A 2019 review of DayZ from play on a PS4 Pro received a 2/10 score because of extremely poor/ unplayable performance. Why then include it as s monthly essential game? Has it been fixed?
I have multiple replays of the first game + the dlc. The 'Beast' having similarities to the first game is great news. The trailer definitely gives me a Dying Light 1 vibe, like it could be a dlc of that first game. A month delay for polishing? No problem.
It's a secret? So it must be the addition of the option to have the PS4 UI, folders like the PS4,themes, saves to usb drives, and a proper way to use the web browser like the PS3 and PS4 have. Also an added shape shifting ability to optionally make the PS5 into a pretty matte black rectangle shaped console.
My memories of playing GTA4 on my PS3 are not good. Horrible graphics, Nlko running around acting like he may have brain damage, and land vehicle physics that made any high speed or chases no fun as the streets all seemed permantly ice covered.
The Ballad of Gay Tony had some inprovments in graphics, vehicle handling, protagonist, story, and features. A remasterd BOGT at 60fps is all I desire of the three GTA4 games.
Breaking news, and it is believed to be true by dozens of gamers. This news is that Sony claims to be still considering to talk about adding more PS3 games to Plus Premium. The desire is to add an astouding eleventeen game by as soon as the 3rd quarter of 2028.
4Pro from Plus Extra: GTA3 and Dying Light 2. On disc Handsome Jack.
With GTA3 I am first making a starter file, I just got the 99th hidden package, next up is Paramedic for infinite running. Fun so far, and looks and plays smooth in performance mode. However the brightness in game and my tv needs set to max.
Overall my only issues are the overdone constant gang attacks and fragile vehicle. Both are present in the original on PS2 but a disc with codes can disable gang attacks.
The more I play GTA3 the more I wish it would be an updated Liberty City Stories. Overall I find LCS more fun than GTA3 with its story, relayable side stuff, Tony over Claude, and it has motorcycles. Also a not cheat way to get a helicopter.
Dying Light 2, first play.
Borderlands Pre Sequel. Replay after a few years, this time with Aurelia, a vault hunter I had not previously played. So far half way through normal and I am enjoying her action skill,
What may the numbers be at the present if yearly subs could not have been stacked 2 or 3 years ago and at less cost than present prices?
Last fall I dropped down from Premium to Extra. Premium is just disappointing with the games offered, that sceen shots and video can not be captured, and games like Fallout 3 and New Vegas that do not include their dlc. Also with streaming there is the obnoxious being kicked from the game after a short time of inactivity.
Message to video game developers: If you are unable to make your games play at a smooth 60fps and with good graphics then please find another profession.
80 bucks at release is only an issue for those that salivate at the mention of OW2 and just got to have it now. Also for those that are ok with the usual amount of post release updates Bethesda games usually require.
OW was ok when I ignored the long load times. Overall it is not a game I desired to replay and purchase dlc. OW2? I can wait for a price drop and the patching.
It is good to see that 1st and 3rd person options are included at release. I prefer 1st person in narrow halls/corridors and small rooms. However in 1st person an fov slider and the camera pulled back to be able to look down and see our legs and feet are desirable.
@theheadofabroom,
In just writing "Lacking" at the beginning I view as without gun and melee play. While "Lacking" at the end would to me need "is" before lacking and thus would define the gun and melee action as done poorly. Also I read the entire review before reading the conclusion.
@LiamCroft, Your conclusion about gun and melee has that it lacks gun and melee, not that it lacks "good" gun and melee action.
Overall the game looks interesting and maybe the " clunky" combat can be patched. I'll wait for user evaluations, technical analyis on various platforms, and patches.
I have little knowledge of video game technology. So I can't say I understood most of the technology talked about in this video. Hopefully this new technology can help reduce game development time and improve npc ai.
There was no correct answer for me to chose from. I was not affected because all of my gameplay/console use was playing a game offline as I had planned to on my PS4.
@stefan771, How does my hunch make sense? GTA6 is a guaranteed fortune when released, its money in the bank. However when 6 releases GTA5's money printing will almost overnight decrease significantly.
GTA 5 been nearly pure profit for years, and the GTA5 money has been enough to probably pay most of GTA 6. Any planned delay would be then to milk the GTA5 cash cow for as long as possible while delaying the known instant fortune 6, new cash printer, will provide when released.
It's just my hunch, and yes whenever 6 is released I will begin a most probable hundreds of hours of my time playing and replaying it on and off line.
I use my console while sitting on my sofa or recliner. So a controller works for me. The dualshock also works well enough for when I use the PS4 web browser, same with The PS3.
I look at a fall 2025 release as already a one year delay. My gut tells me that the release was delayed more because 5 was still printing lots of money than being delayed for other reasons.
My hopes for BL4 is that the ui is improved. Easy to read text size and boldness along with not over a background that makes reading text a chore.
For me I prefer to keep skill trees simple and not overchoicey. That is how I found Wonderlands to be, too many choices. Also simple easy to use vending machines. Basically Borderlands 2 readable text size, simple skill trees, and plain simple vending machines is what I like.
There could be the base game for $70 and then online play at an added cost of $20-$30. However what I am most curious about is how will GTA+ be used. Will there be significant or major online features behind a paywall of GTA+. Enough features that could make GTA+ seem essential for online play. Maybe a monthly fee to play online that costs less than GTA+ but is included with GTA+.
All this price speculation for a game that may not be released until 2026. Seriously is 6 gonna be released while 5 is still printing money? Releasing 6 will certainly nearly end the money flow called GTA 5 almost overnight.
GTA 6 will probably be near all profit when released as GTA5 money most likely paid for both 5 and 6.
My hunch is that $70 usd will be the minimum for the base game. There will be at least 2 deluxe editions that will bring in more money. Then there could be a not so free online this time. That could be with putting more features/benefits behind a GTA+ paywall.
Hopefully GTA6 is awesome and provides hundreds of hours of play like GTA 5 has because GTA7 may not be until the 2040's - 2050's.
An RE parody/spoof comedy movie may be more interesting to watch than an RE movie attempting to be serious and dramatic. Something like "Airplane", "Scary Movie", and "Not Another Teen Movie"
The numbers 2 and 30? Obviously the next GTA6 trailer is the 30th day of the second month, February 30th.
Immediately after posting this I will start to organize a pity party for Roger Clark for how some gamers are making him all grumpy. You cruel gamers that made Roger Clark all grumpy should be ashamed of yourselves.
@Fishnpeas, Yes there are some concerns that was not present with the release of GTA5 backing in 2013. Then I was only concerned with how it looked and performed on the PS3. Now I'm concerned about the game itself. Will it still be GTA or will it be similiar to the recent failed Hollywood trends and not be GTA as we knew it and want GTA6 to be.

Re: Stop Guessing GTA 6 Trailer 2 Release Date, Demands Red Dead Redemption 2 Voice Actor

Immediately after posting this I will start to organize a pity party for Roger Clark for how some gamers are making him all grumpy. You cruel gamers that made Roger Clark all grumpy should be ashamed of yourselves.

Re: Would You Pay $100 for GTA 6?
@Fishnpeas, Yes there are some concerns that was not present with the release of GTA5 backing in 2013. Then I was only concerned with how it looked and performed on the PS3. Now I'm concerned about the game itself. Will it still be GTA or will it be similiar to the recent failed Hollywood trends and not be GTA as we knew it and want GTA6 to be.
