Re: PS5 Game Install Sizes Revealed, And They're Enormous

Ryall

@TheGamerKing The switch only has 32 GB 25 of which are usable for games. There are games like the BioShock Collection that won’t even fit on the internal storage. I doubt the will ever be a PS5 game that you won’t be able to install without a gen 4 nvme in the way that you require an Micro SD card for some switch games.

@rjejr The advantage of Microsoft approach in having different names for the disk and diskless consoles. Is that they can write Xbox series X on the disk and it will play on every Xbox series X. Nowhere will it say Xbox series S so you don’t have to worry about confusion.

Re: PS5 Won't Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games

It would definitely be a benefit to be able to download and play PS3 games from PlayStation now onto the PlayStation five. You’d think it would save on the cost of keeping racks of old PS3 is running in server rooms to support PlayStation now as well.

I’m playing the Legend of Zelda skyward sword through backwards compatibility on my Wii U. When my sword arm need to rest i’m playing Brothers a tale of two sons. I downloaded it from PlayStation Now and I’m playing on my PS4.

This evening I intend to start Death End reQuest 2.

@Icey664 A gatcha game is a game where you have the option to pay to summon additional characters at random. Fire emblem heroes it’s an example. Some of them can be excellent games as no one is going to spend money to buy additional characters for a game they don’t enjoy playing. The problem is that some people get addicted to summoning additional characters and spend large amounts of money without achieving anything.

I have no problem with content being added to games over time. If a game adds half an hour of content a week finally building to 21 hours at the end of the year that’s good. If you have to dip back into the game every week in order to play that half an hour of additional content or it will be gone forever that is bad.

I take a similar view of DLC if they put something up on the PlayStation store and leave it up forever and when I buy it I’ve got it for good that’s a nice option to have. If it’s a case of buying digital currency to get something in an in game store but will be rotating every day I find that bad. I have a similar problem with card packs and boxes that can be bought over and over again.

Re: Sony Wants to Conquer the Anime World Next

Telling the developer to work on an IP they have no interest in is usually a recipe for a bad game. They should make for anime IP available for that game developers and their gaming IP is available to the anime studios. But trying to tie the 2 to closely together will negatively affect the quality of one.

@Jokerwild12 @TheFrenchiestFry @Menchi Sony was censoring things for about a year between third quarter 2018 second quarter 2019. As far as I’m aware nothing has been censored since then. Maybe it’s time you moved on because they clearly have.

Re: As the PS Plus Debate Rages, Sony Registers Record Subscribers

Ryall

@Mostik Last time we got games like Contrast and Fez. Which were also on PS3. But the PlayStation plus version was the PS4 version. I would expect a similar situation for the first PlayStation five games on plus.

Nothing quite like having people start to build a library of PlayStation five games that they claimed on their PlayStation 4 to incentivise them to upgrade.

Re: PS5 Completely Outpacing Xbox Series X in Terms of Popularity, Says New Research

Ryall

I’m sure Microsoft has a cunning plan probably involving subscription services and cheaper hardware for 1080p screens.

Whether or not that cunning plan will work... It might well keep them in the race but I doubt they will overtake PlayStation.

We certainly need competition and it looks like they’re only two companies who will be putting out full fat NextGen consuls.
