@FullMetalWesker I could die tomorrow and my kids would lose all their video games, seems a reason for caring, rather than some hypothetical where tech means we can no longer play anyway.
@zekepliskin I imagine they have a policy to cull accounts that haven’t been accessed in x amount of time. So in theory if you took a 5 year break from ps you may find your account gone.
Creating a movie or show with an already built in audience should be such a home run, but then show runners seem to do everything they can to annoy that audience and then call them names. It baffles me.
They really need to be keeping some of these on. Seems like a big hit to the platform. They’ll prob be off for a month and then they’ll make some kind of big event about adding all these final fantasy games to the platform.
For a long time I’ve not cared, and I can’t say I care too much now either, but I feel that graphics have gotten so good I’ll always opt for performance now as the difference seems negligible to me.
I think there are a lot more people with the specific situation this helps with than people thought. Gamers are continuing to get older and this is a godsend. 80% of my ps5 gaming is on this and I wish they would bring plus streaming to it.
@JokerBoy422 to be fair the ones I would play are older, gears of war, halo maybe a forza or two. It would be good to know Bethesda games were coming too, even though I couldn’t get into starfield.
Does anyone know why? Like is it setting up something else? Or does it have micro transactions? Little trauma stickers perhaps? Free game just doesn’t really add up.
@Blofse Thats not really how news works, dont really get to pick and choose what to report, thats a slippery slope. This is a serious incident both from the perspective of the cyber terrorists and the security failure of insomniac
I agree with him to an extent. 2018 I really enjoyed but Ragnarok felt a little off in some way, its hard to exactly pinpoint but it did feel like he had gone too far the other way.
@RadioHedgeFund sales of perfect dark 2.5 million, sales of horizon forbidden west 8.5 million. Thats £150million verses £510million. The increase in demand for games is what should keep the price down despite the increase in development costs. Basically publishers spend more on games for a bigger piece of the pie. They are generally not hurting for money.
@PenguinLtd no, its why my vita is prob used more than my ps5, i'll keep volume low ish and play through some things. diablo and persona have been favourites of remote play for me in the past. And given the aging gaming populace I'm not sure its that niche a situation any more
@PenguinLtd as a 41 year old dad this actually makes perfect sense for me. Sure I could buy another TV but locking myself away in a separate room to everyone else is not going to win me any prizes. Picking this up and playing a bit of diablo on the sofa when others are watching tv though sounds good.
@Member_the_game I was hoping for 150 too, the way I’ve tried to justify it is Sony are not selling games for this, so I would assume it needs a larger profit margin than say a switch lite when Nintendo would look to profit from games.
What’s included in that 954b ? Micro transactions? DLC? Subscriptions? When you’ve drilled into it you say only 2/3 of game sales are digital. Yet a number of smaller titles especially are digital only? These stats feel like they are massaged a little to push an agenda of digital sales.
This is a great month for me. Mafia 2 I have great memories of, the other two are games I wanted to try but not pay for which is surely the exact purpose of ps plis
@KillerBoy one could argue that currently Xbox and ps are removing competition, pushing digital means you can only purchase from their own store. A single platform spec with multiple stores however introduces competition (potentially)
It’s a fun game but still feels spin off rather than main entry to me. And 9, 10 and 7 all better for me. And 14 for that matter. But then when they are trying to get sales why would they say anything else?
I’ve not really been interest in AC since black flag but this apparent return to roots has me intrigued. Cosmetics, I’d rather weren’t there but I look at reviews at least.
@Deadhunter it doesn’t run badly , few small bits of stuttering but some love to exaggerate. That’s on ps5 in performance mode, quality mode may have been worse but I thought it ran fine. On ps4 I can imagine long load times though.

Re: Hardware Review: PS Portal Is the Perfect PS5 Companion (For Some)

Re: PlayStation Portal Is Sony's PS5 Remote Play Handheld, Priced at $200 / £200
