Despite my reservations about the presentation I’m slowly realising that I’ll be one of the many re-playing Breath of the Wild at 60fps in a couple of months.
Great if you only play Nintendo consoles. Average if you have other options. Their reliance on the ports just highlights that better and cheaper versions are available on competing platforms. Personally I wouldn’t want to play Elden Ring on a portable. That world deserves the biggest screen you have. No OLED option at launch is predictable (they’ll sell those to double dippers in 4 years) but still disappointing for a predominantly handheld focused device.
One thing that’s rarely mentioned in console to PC comparisons is the amount of power they draw. With the price of electricity (especially in the U.K.) that’s a really important factor to consider.
Quick Resume, to me, is the best feature of the Series consoles. But if we’re talking innovation then the Dualsense is the star of this gen. Truly remarkable bit of tech.

Re: PS5 Is the Only Console with a Proper Physical Copy of Cronos: The New Dawn
I’m digital all the way, but made an exception for Atomfall as it has a crow on the cover. I also did this for Deaths Door.
I like crows.

Re: PS Plus Essential Is Quietly Having a Great Year on PS5, PS4
As an adult who has to pay a lot more for boring adult things that are nowhere near as fun, £60 for what’s included is an excellent deal.
Re: Hitman PSVR2 Could Very Well Be Some of the Most Fun You'll Find on PS5 This Year
I’ll be visiting Haven Island VR in July as a Summer holiday substitute.
Re: Sony Expands Its PS5 Console Rental Service to the UK
Renting a portal is a good idea. Just to check if your connection makes it worthwhile.

Re: Spider-Man 2's Looking Like Another PC Own Goal from Sony
@Jrs1 hope you’re enjoying the new Mogwai album (off topic). It’s a corker.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Confirmed for PS5, Out This Spring
Superb racing game. But definitely have that mute button ready for when the characters speak. They’re all 100% annoying 😊.
Re: Xbox Boss Wants to Beat PS6 on Hardware Capabilities, Not Necessarily Games
@Medic_alert ah yes. With the caveat of when it works 😀.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 Clocks Native 4K/120fps on PS5 Pro Via Game Boost, Pre-Enhanced Patch
I also enjoy GT7, and gaming in general. You wouldn’t think it’s an enjoyable way to spend time going off some of the comments though.

And now the negativity spreads to the articles.

People (citation needed) on the internet furious? Nope, don’t believe it.
Re: Sony Fights Scalpers in Japan By Demanding PS5, PS4 Playtime
@wildcat_kickz well said. Genuinely surprised with all the doom and gloom. We gamers are eating well.
Re: For Some Reason, Sony Saved PSVR2 Exclusive Firewall: Ultra for the Future Games Show
Save some announcements for the show with the bigger and wider audience…sounds pretty smart to me.
Re: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Back at Concept Stage After Total Reboot
I’d settle for a nice quick and dirty 4k port. It’s a timeless (!) classic.
