Re: PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200

I think we will be going to a more PC based system on both sides of the fence. STEAM OS is sat there waiting in the wings and will at some point be a viable direction. Happy to be wrong, but the adaptability of my PC, any wheel, any HOTAS, choice of VR, it's time to stop locking systems.

Re: 'Sony Finally Understands': Over 70% of PS5 Fans Agree with Decision to Scrap PC Ports

Happier times before the Internet and all the tripe you have to wade through, we bought consoles and computers based on preference. The 48k speccy and c64 era was the first time I recall a 'war'. I had c64, my mate had speccy and we used to compare the same game on our massively different devices with that of kids in awe at what both could do. Now it's changed a bit into a place I no longer feel part of. It was always about what console you preferred by controller, interface and whatnot. Now it's about hiding behind walls and charging for the pleasure. Simple days dead, and none of my kids have bothered with consoles, they both wanted a laptop. Shame we got to here.

Re: Video: Silence as PSVR2 Turns Three Years Old - Is Sony's PS5 Headset Dead?

Slippship

It's very alive and extremely well used on my PS5, and then when I fancy I plug into my PC and play whatever Steam games I wish to play. I built my PC, which I'd wanted forever, to allow VR Sim racing and PS5 was never going to give it. (GT7 is no Sim) Even F1 games are now VR, ACC, Automobilista2, AC Rally soon enough, Elite Dangerous(space sim).

There may be a better VR headset out there, but is there one that's multi platform? And those who don't have one have no reference point but spout the usual dirge as always.

My original PSVR still works and games are still played via that too, albeit on a lesser scale.

Anyone else use it as a multi platform unit?

I may even splash out on the new steam unit, to be decided.

Re: Here's Why Shawn Layden Thinks Sony 'Can't Get Away' with Making PS6 Digital Only

Finally, a sensible point of view. My job, and many others, have taken me all over the world in a non glamorous fashion. PS5 disc games are the only way as you can't prove yourself on the net via sign in. Steam deck was forever turning my games off and signing in via vpn was a pain. Especially when your out.of range for 7 weeks. It's relative I know, but all my playstations have been all over and since 3 it's been difficult with digital, even the owned games.

Re: 9 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for January 2026 Announced

Slippship

Ridge Racer Revolution maybe. Why is premium so bad. I accidentally paid for it so kept it and the PS1 emulation is worse than any other I use, and unless you want to stream on a portal anywhere or watch movies that you can get anywhere else on other subscriptions, someone is going to remind me I can get 5% off but the price of the sub covers that. I do miss being able to play PS3 games, but not that much, because I have a PS3 upstairs and never use it...

Premium is pants, I pay my way have 3 kids and a grandkid.

Re: Best Assassin's Creed Games of All Time

Slippship

I like how Rogue and Unity are connected, bit of a clever move there. AC did in a week from blockies, loved it. Ezio trilogy will always be a great moment in time but has been beaten. Origins, Odyssey then Valhalla in that order for the RPG, Valhalla being best. I loved Syndicate more than most but Edward Kenway will always have the best game. Yeah, i missed 3 out. Still to really get claws into Mirage and Shadows just feels a damp squib after GoT.
