I still and have said from day one.
They should release a 1tb at £100 cheaper giving the gamer the option.
They just forcing 2tb to get more profit and make it look more powerful because of the higher price.

They make out they took the disk drive away to give the gamer the option, well why not the memory.

As always it depends what you are measuring.
For me it’s about Sony studio AAA campaign games.
First 2 years excellent
After, absolutely no, compared to PS4.
That’s just for me of course.

Strange it’s not day one on PS5.
I guess it’s to keep game pass ultimate in a sort of gets it first selling point.
Or maybe yet again Xbox are changing tactics, either way the usual Xbox not having an over arching strategy, more it depends on the game and weather 🤣

Very good start and end
Filler and multi-platform stuff in the middle.

On a good positive at least we are getting 2 Sony studio games in 2026, let’s hope that drum beat continues now going forward.

@Fiendish-Beaver
Cheers, will look into Cronus.

Gives me that more advanced dead space vibe, which for me is fantastic.
Will be keeping a close eye on this game as release draws nearer.

They did do a Pro update with I think PSSR did they ever sort it out and make it better as the PSSR update had issues like with water and fuzz etc.
was thinking if they had learnt from AC shadows a fantastic Pro PSSR update they may patched Avatar.

This should absolutely shine on my Pro.

I think they have also really Pro enhanced this one for release.
Could we those enhancements to the article please.

I thought I was getting some thing for free
Like the My Nintendo programme with silver coins.
Oh well.

It’s daft developers not implementing PSSR especially with certain engines that are the issue.

AC shadows and Ubisoft, showed them all how to implement PSSR very well.

@carlos82
I have doubled up in your Pro support comments on BL4.
So to me the Pro had enhanced the visuals etc.

It’s about 50/50 for me.
AC shadows had a great PSSR update.
Other games like BL4 did have Pro support just by the fact the power of the Pro upped the base resolution in performance mode higher than the PS5.
So it says no pro enhancement but it is enhanced due to the higher resolution.
Even DF said compared to the PS5 and series x the Pro had a higher resolution which resulted in a sharper picture.

So we are now waiting a borderlands 4 frame rate issue fix. And now another new game waiting a PS5 Pro sort of PSSR fix but not a game breaker.

In my industry they probably would have both been struck off our subcontractor list.

@PrettyPawsome
The only ones that do that are Sony big AAA and Nintendo big AAA. They normally release in very good condition.

@zekepliskin
Yep, I don’t know as many of the general public with this generation of consoles as the same time PS4 Xbox one era.
I mean I have a Pro, but most of the time, apart from the very odd occasion I got sucked in.

@zekepliskin
Doesn’t make it right now.
I don’t get it after years and years in development by hundreds of people how the quality has started to decline of late. But we pay more.

It’s the general state of game development for me lately
Games that don’t do it really well or are not as good as they could have been. So many 80s to mid 80s games that should or could have been 90 plus.
We even have a game that slows down the frame rate the longer you play it, you could not make it up 🤣

@Rich33
That’s what DF said just up the PS5 resolution for Pro and not use PSSR.
I must be honest I keep feeling like a PS5 Pro Guinea Pig with each game release. 🤣

I see PSSR is playing up again on Pro and you can’t turn it off.
You could not make this stuff up, where has the quality control gone for big games nowadays with these developers.

After great results for Pro and PSSR on AC Shadows I thought we had turned a corner.

@Drago201
I forgot the dam bloody tax man.
As we can him in UK 🤣

Come on let’s get back to Sony pumping out those top end AAA campaign games.
Hopefully this is just the beginning.

So 60 million to make and 400 million taken.
So 340 million profit.
These big companies need to complaining about making money 🤣

@Rich33
I think they don’t really want to sell consoles in any numbers.
So when they do sell one at the higher price they maybe make some profit on it.

@Rich33
That is crazy the Pro being cheaper than the 2tb series x.
When considering the extra power and the more technical dualsense controller as well and faster memory.

@Oram77
Sony do good sales in the UK on consoles about 3 a year.

Will be interesting if Sony follow with price increases.
They can get away with it more now.

I’m sure the world and all these companies are mugging us off.
Food increases and electrical items etc.

Then roll in the quarterly reports and they all making record profits.

Please if I miss it can someone let me know when the ***** sort this out.
Then I shall resume play on my Pro.
Gaming becoming a messy joke again.

Any other faulty product, I would just get a refund on, like a kettle.
With gaming software they have you money and run and you can’t get it back that easy.

Mmmmmm, I have not got any of the main 3s processes and operations after the first two years of this current generation.
However Microsofts has been the most up and down and strange and secretive.

Well it’s basically hard to get good 3d platform games now a days. Astro did it, donkey Kong bananza don’t count it’s a smash em up.
So this game really is all we have on the sort of new 3d platform game front.
Not much choice really.

And another so called AAA development and developer lowering the quality standard of our games we have to pay more for.

It’s the way the industry is going, quality down hill. How many have not got 89 plus this year and last that probably would have done in the PS4 Xbox one era.

I’m telling you all, pay more get less quality.
It’s gaming version of inflation and shrink-flation all rolled into one.

I just have my fingers crossed that Sony with ghost of Yotei, now prove me wrong.

@DennisReynolds
Some of it is all down to taste, I mean I’m playing doom dark ages got an 84 I think and I’m still playing through it and really enjoying.
Just finished the sonic racing crossworlds demo and so far enjoyed it more than MKW.
Just a straight forward kart racing without the bull and not to much chaos. As MKW is to much chaos with 24 racers on the track. It has lost its skill in the races to the over chaos.

@REALAIS
Yep my PS5 Pro is not getting much love from a few games.
Assassins creed shadows once patched with PSSR was the last game for me that made my Pro Stand out from the base PS5, took away the horrible pixel crawl and shimmer, was happy with the Pro then.

@themightyant
I used to look towards, Sony and Nintendo and the odd occasion Xbox and sometimes third parties, big AAA games.
You know that era the PS4, Xbox and Switch, those top AAA just kept coming.

I think as well as gaming suffering cost wise from inflation.
That actually games that probably should have scored more and been bigger AAA overall are also suffering from Shrinkflation in terms of overall quality.

@get2sammyb
Maybe but you can sometimes see that old school AAA pure quality and finesse isn’t totally there.
Perhaps the developers and industry was on fire 🔥 in the PS4, Xbox one and switch era.
And since the fire has dampened some what.
That is sort of how I feel on the subject.

Another game running around the 78 score on PC, sonic racing about 82, borderlands 4 84.

Where has legendary AAA games that stood proud at around 90 plus gone.

This definitely a different era to the PS4, Xbox one and switch. Especially this far into the generation.
Pay more get less overall quality of game.

Going on meta scores is it just me or this long into the PS4, Xbox one and switch era.
We were getting far better scoring games sort of 89 plus to mid 90s
Nowadays it all seems mid to low 80s.

Sony always seems to treat the UK with these sales a few times a year.
Would be inserting to know if anyone does.
PS5 vs PS4 same time line to today, UK only sales?

Mmmmmm shall wait for other reviews.
13 hours maybe good for the game drum beat, but maybe not cost wise.

Well we all keep buying their products.
I think my total Sony spend this year is about £4000 plus near to £5000.
I don’t think the new TV and sound system helped 🤣🤣🤣

Took the plunge Borderlands 4 on PS5 Pro have not regretted a single minute.
Playing in performance mode seems sharp image and smooth fps.

@Rich33
That must be it in then, it does ring a bell now you have explained VRS.
Oh well fingers crossed for a very good Pro version tomorrow.
Have held off on preorder as some PC reviews have mentioned the performance on a slight bad note. But of course that is PC world and all the complications and adjustments that go along with PC world.

Of course Ghost of Yotei will be the game for me in a couple of weeks.

@Fiendish-Beaver
You may know the answer to the below.

However it’s unreal 5 but the PS5 Pro has a certain feature that helps with Unreal 5 that also the series x has, forget what it’s called but it’s hardware based in both but not the base PS5.

@Rich33
Will have to wait until tomorrow and that big day one patch to get the full picture.
PS5 Pro should run at very stable 60fps and good resolution I hope.

However it’s unreal 5 but the PS5 Pro has a certain feature that helps with Unreal 5 that also the series x has, forget what it’s called but it’s hardware based in both but not the base PS5.

@lazarus11
I did watch that and it looked really good.
But they haven’t stated it’s Pro Enhanced and what etc.
Or it just leverages the Pro tflops a bit.

Also it is not listed as Pro Enhanced on the Sony store.
So no idea if it is or not, might as well wait for the next 5 patches and Pro Enhanced, then join in at a cheaper price probably as well.

@Fiendish-Beaver
I do play games that are below 90 plus on meta and do enjoy them.

I’m in Aerospace so it all has to be perfect else death occurs. So I get all perfectionist like and if you going to do a job or develop a game on this scale of studio size then make it a banger AAA at the top of the tree.

I guess it’s good but I always expect more and higher scores.
When you game on PS4 and PS5 and switch you get used to their in house AAA games hitting 90 plus with that pure gaming perfection all round.
When another studio spends 5 to 6 years making a big AAA game I just expect because of all that development time and cost, the game to be near to perfection.

Seen some 7s to 8.5 so far.
Will probably end up low 80s.
