In my humble, it shouldn't even be a question of 'this or that' it should be both. Default.
PS4 pro could already do it, so stuttery 30fps is done. It's old. It is beneath the benchmark.
60 or fidelity?
NO! BOTH!
Anything less than that is hobbled by cross gen releases.
Been gaming for over 35 years, at each generation, or 6+ years, a new TV accompanies.
So 30fps on a 55inch TV is a bit of a strain on the old peepers.
And just like that, 5 games added. Ok 2 of them were not on those lists, (the first 2 Dark Pictures games). Also, vice city, Medium and Inside. A fair bit to get through. Have had no issues with vice city, would have been a kicker if paid for it at release with all the bugs it had.
The standard edition can be had for significantly less than the £65ish stated above. I've just ordered it for the Mrs for just shy of £50 on Shopto. She's a HP nut! And I don't mean the brown sauce.
I used it a handful of times at the start, then didn't bother. Only the other day I was just looking at my profile for some reason and I've received loads, that I never even knew about. Oh well.
I just bought £100 of psn credit from shopto for £83.70. When my term expires tomorrow, I will use that credit to buy Premium. So, for the next year, I would say Premium is going to be very good value for money. Cos it hasn't cost me anything more than Extra to have it👍
Ah, so the post I made earlier this week on a different article has come to pass already. Won't be long before 3rd party digital stores have generous discounts on these network codes.
My plus expires mid July, so will most probably go with extra, then. Fingers crossed that 3rd party code sellers, like cd keys, start reselling at some point. I remember one year I paid £33 when it was £50 direct with PSN.
Unless I blacked out during the street fighter 6 trailer, it only seemed to show about 6 fighters??
Read a bit later that it's rumoured to have about 20 or so fighters.
But I bet it'll follow the SF5 release structure.
Some people love it I guess.
I just want all fighters available, not trickled out over 2 years.
Hate that the fighter game scene uses seasons and character packs.
Paying somewhere over £100 for full game plus a number of seasons, not for me.
That launch edition of Elden Ring made me chuckle, I paid just under £45 with base.com and for some unknown reason they gave me £5 back. Haven't paid 40 notes for a brand new game since I don't know when.
Yeah, this won't stop anything. People will pay whatever the asking, and more, for an 'unsealed' PS5. Can't think of a better solution myself, but this won't help.
Me, I'm happy to buy anything that's second hand, already opened, previously used etc. Chewing gum, COVID test, condoms......
For me.. nothing I would buy. Even more, nothing that I would download if they were on PS+. At 'some' point I will play Returnal. So the DLC was mildly interesting. Other than that, nowt for me. But that's horses for courses I suppose.
Cheers all for the fingers crossed. Don't doubt TGC sent it in good time, but Royal Mail in my area is pretty bad. Lot of sick and no walk cover, so stuff gets delivered all at once at random. Ah well.
Didn't get a code unfortunately. But more than happy with others' first impressions that I've read. Love all their games. Can't wait. Paid £45 for launch ed. from Game Collection, and I very rarely pre order.
@Tatarimokke
D'you know what.. I honestly don't know if they take money at release or before, I'm thinking they do🤔, someone else will know for sure.
Ordered from them a couple of times, plus shopto and base.com, from all of them I've had games on release date.
Never had any problems.👍
Edit.... Yeah, they take money straight away😂
Regardless, I'm not paying 25% more for exactly the same thing whether early payment or no.👎
Yeah, ordered through your link, (you're welcome), for the PS5 launch ed. from Game Collection. £15 cheaper than Amazon. And STILL £5 cheaper than the standard ed. on Amazon!🤪 I remember those halcyon days when Amazon was the goto for cheaper games. GAME was a non starter. Just who the dickens is paying 60 notes for exactly the same thing. Gadzooks!
@BRT15 Same. Played a few rounds, got s few trophies. Just too slow. Running, if you can call it that, I'm sure Stephen Hawking could go faster, for minutes on end, then getting one shotted. Then repeat. Deleted. Yep, servers will die off within days/weeks when people download the battlefield beta and play that over the weekend. The difference will be striking.
What is it with games being poo recently? Efootball and this. What's next?

Ridiculous price.
At £150 it'd still be too expensive.

Re: PS Plus Premium, Deluxe Subscribers Bemused by August Update
If I had paid £99 for it, yeah, I'd be quite disappointed if this carries on.
Luckily through discounted codes I spent equivalent of £84.

Mafia Definitive on PS5.
Oddly, I didn't click with Stray, played for about an hour, and tuned out. Oh well.
Glad others are loving it though👍

As most of the above, yes, it was better than the 2 that followed.
Will replay on PS5, after Lost Judgment.
So that'll be a while.

FF16 gets my vote.
Re: Gotham Knights' PS4 Version Has Been Cancelled
Good. Time to move on. Hopefully other studios will move on, stop games from being hobbled by old tech.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 424
For me, just finished Elden Ring, about 105 hours.
V much enjoyed it.
3 hours in to Horizon 2, reminds me a lot of this game...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enslaved:_Odyssey_to_the_West
Which is odd, because the first one didn't.
The environments, the premise. Deja vu.
Oh, also bought Lost Judgement, so that'll be a week or so to start.
Re: Poll: What Do You Expect from Retro PlayStation Games on PS5, PS4?
I expect them to be overpriced.
Re: Deal: Get Great Discounts on Top PS5 Games at Amazon UK
Discounted, yes.
Still overpriced, yes.

Re: Hogwarts Legacy Gameplay Demo Shows the Harry Potter Game We've Always Wanted
The wife will love it.
She plays Lego games periodically, (though I'm saving star wars for myself).
Re: Poll: What Did You Think of Sony's Latest State of Play?
For me.. nothing I would buy.
Even more, nothing that I would download if they were on PS+.
At 'some' point I will play Returnal. So the DLC was mildly interesting.
Other than that, nowt for me.
But that's horses for courses I suppose.

Re: Elden Ring Ray Tracing Will Give Graphics a Shine in Future Updates
Day off, waiting for postie to deliver from The Game Collection 🙄
Re: Horizon Forbidden West PS5, PS4 Pre-Load Available Now
Will get it a'ways down the line.
Elden Ring first, launch edition for £45.
Hoping reviews are 8+ across the board for this though.

Re: Unsurprisingly, the GTA Trilogy Is Getting Review Bombed on PS5, PS4
Bad games get bad reviews.
And yet the world keeps turning.
As an apology I wouldn't mind betting that Rockstar give away some GTA$ for GTA online...and then put all the prices up. 🤣

PS3 games.
Forgotten about it already.
Re: This Is What the GTA Trilogy Looks Like on PS5, PS4
Wouldn't pay 55 notes for this.
£30 max.
And with intact soundtracks.
