@Oprahs_cellulite if you are going to get a wheel stay away from the logitech g29's etc as they are crap (I don't care what anybody says otherwise) and if you can afford one look at the thrustmaster t598. There's a few guys on here who bought one upon mine and @Kidfunkadelic83's recommendation. GT7 will melt your mind.

@PneumaPilot @Oprahs_cellulite it's on sale currently so I might pick it up..I just can't stop playing GT7 though..I have a t598 steering wheel and a racing cockpit..its an amazing experience.

@Oprahs_cellulite is arizona sunshine good? Looks interesting.

I just bought my psvr2 specifically for GT7. It's a superb bit of kit and GT7 is a whole new game using it. It's a shame Sony hasn't done more to support it but is it all sonys fault? What's wrong with the big devs supporting it? EA's formula one game has a vr mode which I may have a look at further down the line but I'm not a huge fan of the F1 games. It baffles me how EA didn't have codemasters include a vr mode for their wrc rally game as I would be playing the heck out of that. At least I know that if ever I decide to get a PC then I can use the psvr2 on that and by all accounts it's pretty damn cool on the pc too. If GT7 is the only driving game that I ever play in vr again I've got to be honest and say I wouldn't be bothered..its that damn good.

@lazarus11 just to be clear I was discussing CD here and not marathon 👍

@Vyse_the_Legend you are missing my point entirely and just trying to push your own narrative. Try thinking about what I said just for a minute once the voice inside your head has stopped shouting.

"Starfield’s disc will become a paperweight should Sony’s servers ever be switched off in the future." At least you would have a fancy looking paper weight as opposed to f**k all if you buy the digital version.

@KundaliniRising333 @lazarus11 despite our differing opinions about marathon I have to agree that 1) the ps5 Pro version is significantly better than the base ps5 (I installed it on my pro and the og ps5 to compare the two) and 2) I feel the review wasn't that fair to the game. Granted I've not played a lot of it due to time constraints but it's a rock solid 8 for me. Glad I purchased it.

@lazarus11 as I thought..

@wildcat_kickz these commentors just don't like it when games are not made for them. They don't like other gamers enjoying themselves. I've not been on marathon over the weekend and that's because I got lost in GT7 vr which is just superb. I also used my last store voucher to purchase crimson desert which I'll get round to playing properly soon so that means marathon is going to have to be every other evening with you guys. I've stretched myself too thin 🤣

@urbical you mean what a stupid decision to make something you don't like.

@lazarus11 so you have not played marathon but you are so insistent it's rubbish? If you played it then maybe I could respect your opinion more but all I'm seeing is somebody who's being quite ignorant to what other gamers enjoy. There's tonnes of games I don't like but that dosnt make them rubbish.

@Vyse_the_Legend that dosnt mean its only for people with lots of money though. If you want something you will find a way to save for it.

@Vyse_the_Legend "PlayStation Pro's = People with a lot of income." Rubbish. I have a very modest income and my wife's quite moderate too. I just upgraded to a ps5 Pro and a psvr2 but I saved like a penny pinching hermit to get them luckily before this price hike. I understand your point but I don't agree with it.

@naruball oh you can play normal games via the psvr2 and it's like playing on a cinema screen if you can put up with a lower resolution. I tried dirt 2.0 and EA wrc but it was very over whelming to be honest. Halls of torment was quite good fun 🤣

@Balaam_ I bet your feeling a bit green with envy chum 👍

@naruball I really wish the psvr2 was backwards compatible with ps4 games as dirt rally has a vr mode..its a shame codemasters never made EA wrc vr..I'm hoping assetto corsa rally does.

@naruball thankyou..most people here think I'm a gobshite 🤣

@naruball I bought my ps5 Pro last Friday and I went out and bought the psvr2 yesterday morning. I've spent most of the weekend thus far in GT7 which is outstanding. I have no man's sky and hitman world of assassination waiting patiently for their turn..its not going to happen soon..

I pulled the trigger on this on Friday evening but I've not played a huge amount. Appears to be a top notch game and it looks really,really nice. 6/10? It's an 8 for me personally based on what I've played.

@Perturbator already do.thrustmaster t598 and a racing frame. Had those for almost a year 👍

I went out this morning and bought my psvr 2 and I'm currently having my mind blown by GT7. This is just stupidly great. I will jump on marathon this evening but this weekend pretty much belongs to GT7 in vr..Have a great weekend folks 👍

@Rich33 another thing I really like is how it can make ps4 games look sharper. Dirt rally 2.0 looks a little bit crisper and seeing as that's one of my main titles I play it was a nice little bonus. I think the HDR is better on the pro too and I did notice the colours seem to be more vibrant. I've not changed any settings on my TV and my HDR calibration on the pro is the same as my base ps5 which looked a bit washed out on some titles.

@Boxmonkey I guess you were. A few of my mates had ps4 pros and they complained about the fans as well. I never had a ps4 pro so I don't have any experience other than my brothers weed whacker but I had to get a ps5 Pro just to have GT7 running at its absolute best. The leap from GT7 running on the base ps5 to having it running in 4k@60 with Ray tracing on the pro is to me just jaw droppingly awesome and I can't wait to get my psvr 2 either this weekend or next. So glad I got one when I did.

@Ambassador_Kong you can't compare the two games as both are completely different. I love marathon and I just bought crimson desert and from what I've played so far it's pretty decent. I didn't think marathon deserved a 9 and personally I'd have given it an 8 based on the fact I don't really like the UI. I think CD should be around an 8 in all fairness as its better than a lot of games similar to its ilk that have scored better.

@Member_the_game I bought my pro from argos last weekend. Very nice machine and the step up from ps5 to ps5 Pro is much bigger than the ps4 to ps4 pro. The only big difference I noticed about my brothers ps4 pro over my base ps4 was the noise.. Jesus it was as if he had a leaf blower turned on in his room..loving my ps5 Pro.

Good lord I'm so glad I pulled the trigger on the pro when I did. I was going to wait a tad longer but I decided to get it and the disc drive because I just couldn't put off playing GT7 any longer. Bummer for those that can't get one but if anybody is thinking of getting one it's well worth it.

Good lord is this article still running? Three things that shouldn't be disccussed:-
1)football
2)religion
3)incest

@DennisReynolds ahhh I see..my bad 👍

@bossuche9 there was a lot of live service games released on the ps4..bloody loads of them. People act like it's a current gen phenomenon but the ps4 had more than its fair share.

Glad I bought my ps5 Pro now and didn't wait longer..I'd better get my psvr 2 soon before that shoots up too.

The ps5 Pro uses 200-240 Watts.. that's very reasonable to be honest. I dread to think what a uber gaming pc would suck out of the national grid. I don't use power saving as it really is quite pointless to me.

@wildcat_kickz who knows? The world is full of nutters. Why PS haven't banned his account for that is beyond me...oh it is now 👍

I've got to have me some of this.

@Golfman159 nice 👍

@Boxmonkey there you go a comment I can't disagree with because you gave a rational response. I can understand your scepticism.

@Golfman159 if you are running any shell other than rook the wait time to get in a match can be a bit annoying as it will always start you and your squad right at the start of the round. If you play as rook you will find matches rapidly as it will start you in with 15 mins left max sometimes less. It's not ideal granted but I prefer starting a round with the full time allocated rather than halfway through like arc raiders does.

@Boxmonkey "This game has flaws that aren’t being addressed or even recognised by the msm and fans playing." Show me a game that's perfect and I mean 100% perfect. Every game has flaws but what you see as flaws may not be the same for everybody. I'm not going to say marathon is perfect as it has things that bug the crap out of me but they are personal preferences to how I'd like the game to be. Regardless of what you think (I'm presuming you didn't play the free server slam to back up your claims) marathon is top quality in terms of stability online and overall presentation and the controls are very responsive and slick. It's not for you and that's fine but please try and show a bit of support for your fellow gamers that really are having a blast instead of dog pilling on every marathon thread. Incidently what is your ideal game?

@Marquez added you mate 👍

@Boxmonkey I'm not sure you've played the same game as us buddy..I doubt you've played it at all.

Not really surprised. It's okay and was pretty good fun but it wore out its welcome pretty fast.

@Peterpants we have a pretty robust circle that we play with on a very regular basis so if you want to squad up with some fellow pushsquarians feel free to add me on psn. Just remember the time difference between us. Word of warning..we die a lot but by christ do we have a laugh..

I didn't try cryo out but that was mainly because I was trying out other games on my pro to see which were improved the most (AC shadows so far.) Now I love marathon and I love its deep game play and the gun play is sublime. I love the grind and for me the week long grind to level my shell with a load out to face the cryo challenge is what it's all about. I find playing solo a lot of fun and quite nerve wracking but in a squad with friends is where it shines. I think bungie should have different modes for those that don't have much time or those that just want to play solo but for me on a personal level marathon is just right for me as it stands but that UI and menu system really need a good working over. Maybe this weekend I'll be worthy enough to jump in the cryo.

@Nexozi codemasters didn't drop the ball at all. EA gave them no time to cook their game and they had to use the ancient UE4 engine. Dirt 2.0 is currently the GOAT for us rally nutters and EA wrc is a solid rally game. I found WRC 10 to be the one I'd award 3rd place to. I bought sebastian leob rally for £3.50 in a psn sale and even though it looks rougher than Daniella westbrook it's a surprisingly good rally sim. EA did to codemasters what I predicted when it was announced they had bought them the F**Kers..

@Nexozi indeed..I need a new rally game. Assetto corsa rally is coming but god knows when.

@Frmknst that bright yellow guy just happens to be the most iconic of the wolverine costumes. It's a classic bud and just goes to show that you are just displaying an insultingly poor knowledge of the character.

Love this game. It is such a good game that all the frame rate issues never bothered me to be honest as I was enjoying exploring too much. It's a really deep game and dosnt hold your hand and the combat is solid. I will have to play this again on my ps5 Pro because it's a lot better apparantly.

@HonestHick it's as if you just held up a mirror 🤣

@nomither6 the real,free playstation network was laggy as hell sometimes,lacking features and was about as stable as Amber heard.

@lazarus11 you must enjoy sniffing farts brother..watch out I'm lactose intolerant and I've just had a huge bowl of broccoli cheese.
