I disagree that graphics can’t get meaningfully better, but agree that graphics should not be the only focus of PS6. There needs to be focus on enabling gameplay simulations and mechanics that weren’t possible before.

As a pro owner, "shortchanged" is definitely a good way to describe how I feel. Seems like every new game that comes out, I wonder more why I bought the damn thing. I think first-party games are getting good support, at least.

@get2sammyb are we sure PS5 will even be the lowest spec? The handheld Ps6 might be slower than a base PS5 in some key areas, like CPU performance. If all games have to be built to run on that thing, it could really hamper what is possible next gen

Good news, but give it a few weeks before Xbox screws something up again. Always one step forward, one step (or more) back with them

Not entirely surprising. This is what happens when fools like Phil Spencer mistakenly bet everything on Gamepass. Once it's clear it's not going to be the golden goose he promised everyone, the execs higher up in MS don't have much financial reason to fund these projects. They aren't passionate gamers.

It was the number 3 best seller on both Steam and PS store. That has to be a good sign. Maybe a lot of gamers just haven’t gotten to playing it yet but will soon enough (like me).

Will Sony be able to recover from this? It’s not just the unfathomable amount of time and money wasted. Their reputation is falling off a cliff. It will take a lot to win back respect of their fans they’ve let down with this mess

@breakneck has the ps2 emulation improved? I remember hearing how bad it was and avoided it altogether

Remember when people started predicting the end of consoles when mobile games became a thing? Look how that turned out

So is anything improved on the pro? Or is it worse all around?

@CriticalHit it’s phenomenal, you’re in for a good time

@Jacko11 will we though? That’s what’s concerning

@thefourfoldroot1 it’s definitely not irrelevant. Sony does not get a dime from second hand sales.

Looks incredible

I tried playing soul reveal and while I loved the atmosphere, couldn’t get into the gameplay. Maybe I should give it another go.

This isn’t terribly surprising given the rising costs of components. Doesn’t bode well for future console generations

@PuppetMaster you should play Prince of Persia when get the chance. It remains fun throughout the game

It’s good to see Prince Of Persia in top 10. Just beat this game a couple weeks ago, it is honestly an amazing game.

Almost didn’t buy it cause I hate Ubisoft and hate the way they marketed this game. Glad I gave it a chance.

Doom Eternal is my favorite shooter ever, so this is exciting. Although I don’t know how I feel a bout a pure medieval setting.
I love how Eternal had a huge diversity of settings.

I feel like if they didn’t bloat Rebirth with tons of minigames and open world stuff they would have spent a lot less making the game, and would have been a less risky investment. And more people like myself would be inclined to buy it, who are growing weary of massive games and don’t have the time

@UltimateOtaku91 what about Elden Ring though. Somehow that game was a massive hit

@zancoooo I agree. It goes a looong way to improve the experience over 30FPS but the cost to system resources is so much smaller than 60 FPS. Wish more games had it.

People are getting spoiled because there’s been so many cross gen games that can run at 60. It feels like the standard.

More complex games that simply can’t run on last gen hardware at all (like GTA6), will likely be capped at 30. They will push the limit of the CPU. Lowering resolution won’t magically speed up the game simulation.

I would honestly like to see more games that push the envelope in this way, but some games like Doom, just wouldn’t make sense at 30fps.

Is this a game anybody is wanting? It’s time for some new IP

Underwhelming visuals aside, this looks like the first Ubisoft game in years I’ve had any interest in. Will probably buy it!

Also relieved they replaced the trash hip hop music from the reveal trailer with a decent soundtrack that makes sense for this game.

"PS5 players will remain welcome". If Phil Spencer were Pinocchio his nose would be a foot long right now...

Only COD will remain on playstation since they had to agree to it to secure the deal.

The redesign looks really good without the disc drive, but with it attached... yikes.

It looks like it just doesn't belong on the system. Like it's some sort of giant infected pustule that needs to be popped off. Like on one of those resident evil monsters.

@OmegaStriver Agreed 100%. That and God of War 3 are poster childs of PlayStation at its best. Sad to See things go downhill so much.

I was really looking forward to this, but lost interest when I heard how insanely hard its bosses are. Just doesn't sound fun

Don't understand why they don't move the release date out of October entirely, there's like 8 major games releasing October right?

Either way, I will be buying this day one. Remedy's games don't seem to get nearly the attention/sales they deserve. It's' a shame.

So what is even the point of a native PS5 release then?

So glad Quake 2 remaster came out at the perfect time to show just how lazy, greedy, and full of sh*t these publishers are.

I can definitely believe development costs have gone up a lot... but haven't game sales also gone up substantially? And don't all the micro transactions and special editions they sell at higher prices help out with that?

I like the all white or all black mockups... every other color scheme just makes the controller look like it is wearing overalls. Not my style...

As owner of both PS4 pro and Xbox One X, I can say that I notice and appreciate the large difference in power between those two systems. 3rd party games (like Red Dead 2) usually look a lot sharper on xbox these days and I typically buy them on that system now. It's hard to ignore specs and power if you care about the fidelity of the experience like I do.

That being said, there's devs saying that the actual performance diff between the upcoming consoles isn't that great. If that's the case (we will see) then no, the inferior specs (on paper) of PS5 don't really matter much, even for people like me.
