> The discount only seems to be applying for new sign-ups and returning members This has been the case with every PS+ sale since the rework and frankly I don't like it very much.
This was a good trailer. The game won't be a revolution in the series but it's looking like another solid entry, which sounds good to me as a fan of the series. Once again, I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority here, but I hope they expand on the "out of the Animus" parts of the story as well as all the "ancient aliens" stuff.
They seem to be relatively easy to get at SRP in the US, compared to UK and EU. Which means SONY's logistics game is kinda lacking currently. I'm still looking for one but I'm not paying 180€ for a 120€ item.
I find this hard to believe. Consoles usually sell best when they release (unless there are supply constraints) and the Switch is hugely popular - my bet would be it selling more than PS5 in 2025 even if it's on sale for 3 months less. I'm no analyst though. We'll see.
As we know, the Horizon games both famously released when there was nothing else to play so people bought them despite not being excited about them - makes sense!
I'd only use rest mode if I was downloading something large while going out - which is rarely the case as most things download rather quick. I imagine it's crucial for those using any kind of remote play though.
@tameshiyaku not really though, there are multiple examples of games that achieve better quality with PSSR than FSR. Seems like it currently struggles with some specific stuff, most of all low native render resolution.
I was never much interested in FC (but mostly because the ones I tried felt off in terms of movement and gunplay, the formula itself seemed fine) and this makes me even less interested.
@PuppetMaster It passed 12 million back in May (see link below). I imagine it slowed down significantly since then but it's probably past 15 mil by now if I had to guess
I was waiting for this - not a huge racing sim enthusiast but I wanted to check out the VR mode everyone's been raving about. Will also check out the flat modes on PS5 Pro
I do watch a lot of Twitch lately but it's because I play competitive fighting games and I watch the competitions (which there is a lot of online).
I do it while gaming (laptop screen with stream running in the background) or when I couldn't be gaming anyway (i.e. on my phone on the subway) though, so I don't think it makes me more interested in watching than playing, even if it technically is more hours (hard to tell, I don't keep stats for myself).
I see a lot of people saying they were able to get the drive in the UK. I also known there was a point this month when you could "easily" (as long as you were actively looking for one) get one in the US. Meanwhile EU got nothing for weeks. What the hell.
@kcarnes9051 I don’t think that’s a thing in Europe. Also, while the supply is low, even the official retailers were selling them at inflated prices which I refuse to pay (and they still sold out within minutes every time).
@get2sammyb @ATaco and you'd be limited to the games that are on PS+ with streaming enabled (which is many of them but not all). Can't just buy a new game and stream it.
If this happens, I don't think there's a reality where future From games don't launch on PC day 1. If there's any exclusivity at all, it might be the "not on Xbox" kind. If.
Also, this is obviously mostly about the anime and manga.
According to that DF video, it's still quite constrained by CPU in some areas, so don't expect the 60fps to be constant everywhere. Definitely runs better though.
That's what you get for making a year-long beta with battle passes, taking the game offline for another year, and then apparently making it worse for the actual release...

Re: Tides of Annihilation Looks Like PS5's Next Big Thing in Outrageous Extended Gameplay
Voice acting was not a strong point here but I liked everything else very much!
Re: State of Play Confirmed for Wednesday, 40+ Minutes of PS5 News and Updates
@1UP-HUSKY A 40 min SoP is not particularly unusual but it is the bigger kind.
Re: Poll: Did the PSN Outage Ruin Your Gaming Plans Over the Weekend?
I couldn't enter a tournament on Saturday because of it but it wasn't that big of a deal. 5 days of PS+ is more than fair.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard Failed Because It Wasn't Live Service, EA CEO Seems to Suggest
Sure it did, lil bro. Totally the reason.
Re: Rumour: Gears of War to Make PS5 Debut with Full Crossplay in Trilogy Collection
I only played the first one as I still had a gaming PC back then and the other 2 only launched on Xbox. Loved it. Would definitely play the trilogy.
Re: Forza Horizon 5 Confirmed for PS5, Out This Spring
I don't think this is for me but it'll probably do very well on PS5. I expect lots of players being interested.
Re: PS3's Most Bizarre Game Will Have Its Own TV Show
I liked this one. It was weird but in a good way.

Where sequel, Ubi
Re: Shuhei Yoshida on PSVR2: 'I'm Sorry'
I don't use my PSVR2 a lot but I still really like it.
Sad that it's seen as a failure, there's a lot of cool games on it.
Re: The Elusive PS5 Disc Drives Are Back in Stock Right Now in the US
They seem to be relatively easy to get at SRP in the US, compared to UK and EU.
Which means SONY's logistics game is kinda lacking currently.
I'm still looking for one but I'm not paying 180€ for a 120€ item.
Re: Until Dawn Movie First Look Reveals Twist on PS5, PS4 Game's Choices
I... kinda like this, actually. I haven't played the game.
Re: Rumour: Halo: The Master Chief Collection Coming to PS5 This Year
I'd buy this. Never played Halo.
Re: PS5 Tipped to Top Switch 2 Sales in the US This Year
I find this hard to believe. Consoles usually sell best when they release (unless there are supply constraints) and the Switch is hugely popular - my bet would be it selling more than PS5 in 2025 even if it's on sale for 3 months less.
I'm no analyst though. We'll see.
Re: Poll: Do You Use PS Stars?
I've got about 30€ of store credit from it so that's not bad.
Re: Horizon Hatred Simmers Once More As Sony Announces Movie Adaptation
As we know, the Horizon games both famously released when there was nothing else to play so people bought them despite not being excited about them - makes sense!
Re: Do You Put Your PS5 in Rest Mode or Shut It Down?
I'd only use rest mode if I was downloading something large while going out - which is rarely the case as most things download rather quick.
I imagine it's crucial for those using any kind of remote play though.
Re: Alan Wake 2's Latest Update Tackles PS5 Pro Problems, Includes Toggle for PSSR
@tameshiyaku not really though, there are multiple examples of games that achieve better quality with PSSR than FSR.
Seems like it currently struggles with some specific stuff, most of all low native render resolution.

@Killionaire how much are they?

@AFCC I wouldn't say anything is OP but a lot of them are very fun

Pretty good for me!
Re: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered (PS5) - PlayStation Classics Return in a Deserved Revival
I remember being a big fan of 2's script (although admittedly I don't remember a whole lot about it otherwise... mostly the ending)

Re: Gamers Are Reportedly More Interested in Watching Games Than Actually Playing Them
I do watch a lot of Twitch lately but it's because I play competitive fighting games and I watch the competitions (which there is a lot of online).
I do it while gaming (laptop screen with stream running in the background) or when I couldn't be gaming anyway (i.e. on my phone on the subway) though, so I don't think it makes me more interested in watching than playing, even if it technically is more hours (hard to tell, I don't keep stats for myself).
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update Available Today in Phased Release

Re: PS5 Disc Drive Stock Still a Source of Intense Irritation for Many
I see a lot of people saying they were able to get the drive in the UK. I also known there was a point this month when you could "easily" (as long as you were actively looking for one) get one in the US.
Meanwhile EU got nothing for weeks. What the hell.
Re: PS5 Disc Drive Stock Still a Source of Intense Irritation for Many
It’s me. I’m one of the many.
Re: A Helldivers 2 Special Edition DualSense PS5 Controller Is Reportedly on the Way
They should stop releasing controllers for games I like - I already have more than I need
Re: My First Gran Turismo Has Been Rated for Release on PS5, PS4
I hope it includes VR2 support, because I wanna try that (but I don't expect to play the game a lot so I'm not buying it)
Re: PS Plus Black Friday Discounts Again Seem Completely Random
A friend of mine got a discount to extend their Extra sub (not an upgrade) but I didn't get one to extend my Premium :/
Re: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Does Away with Forced Stealth in Major Update
@kcarnes9051 I don’t think that’s a thing in Europe. Also, while the supply is low, even the official retailers were selling them at inflated prices which I refuse to pay (and they still sold out within minutes every time).
Re: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Does Away with Forced Stealth in Major Update
I was quite enjoying Outlaws but took a forced break because... I can't buy a disc drive for my PS5 Pro :/
Re: PS Portal Will Allow Cloud Streaming in New Beta Update
@get2sammyb @ATaco and you'd be limited to the games that are on PS+ with streaming enabled (which is many of them but not all). Can't just buy a new game and stream it.
Re: Here's a Taste of Soul Reaver's Remastered Gameplay on PS5, PS4
I hope these hold up in 2024. They were some of my favorite games back in the day.
Re: Feature: Why Would Sony Want to Buy Kadokawa?
If this happens, I don't think there's a reality where future From games don't launch on PC day 1.
If there's any exclusivity at all, it might be the "not on Xbox" kind.
If.
Also, this is obviously mostly about the anime and manga.
Re: Sony Reportedly in Talks to Acquire Elden Ring Maker Kadokawa Corp
All this to make Bloodborne run at 60...
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for November 2024?
This month's Premium is actually more exciting to me than Extra - and that one isn't bad either!
I'll definitely be playing Synapse and Resistance
Re: Ridiculous Rhythm Game Trombone Champ: Unflattened Toots onto PSVR2 Next Week
Getting this one lol
Re: Assassin's Creed Syndicate Finally Gets 60fps Patch on PS5, PS5 Pro
I thought this one, while maybe not quite the best, was still about as good as the others (I like AC)
Re: Helldivers 2's Democratic Super Weapon Now Fully Operational
Very cool. Pro patch when though
Re: 17 Games Land on PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
I was hoping for Synapse to show up on Premium one of these months
I also somehow never played a Resistance, so I guess it's PS3 time for me.

Re: PS Store Makes Launch Day Easy with Dedicated PS5 Pro Category
When I tried it gave me an error :]
Going to PS5 games and filtering by PS5 Pro enhanced worked fine though.
