@BearsAndBattles True. High tech doesn't always mean it's the best though. Just look at the Switch. It's all about price and accessibility. I can connect my Quest to my PC to get quality and performance. Or I can just disconnect it and use it wirelessly where ever I want. Thats a huge deal. I don't believe PSVR will be able to do that. I think if they can they should allow it to be used on a PC too.
@TheArt I don’t think anyone implied it was a Grove Street situation. Ppl are mad it’s basically a reskin with some dual sense features added in and with a $70 price tag. No real gameplay improvements
The gameplay I watched was down right sad. It's probably just me but NG seems like its been struggling a little since Uncharted 4. Hope they can get back on track. What I've seen is no where close to $70.
I suspended my game of horizon last night only to find the console crashed. Lost some progress but not too much. How have they not figured this out yet? They had the entirety of last gen to get it right. Still unreliable.
I imagine they don't want to announce they're working on it too early. Much like the name change situation, it's probably more complicated than we think. They really shot themselves in the foot by making that Cell Processor.
@Legacy2K Phil used intentionally vague statements after the deal was announced, much like they did with the ZeniMax buy. The FTC then announces they are investigating the Activision deal and Microsoft comes out to clear the air. It's not hard to follow.
They need to allow this to work with PC’s. Then release the exclusive PSVR games on PC a year later or something. The VR market is too niche to work on a console no one can buy.
It’s stories like these that make me believe there is zero hope for PS3 back compat. I’ll gladly eat my words but Sony just doesn’t have the engineering talent that Microsoft has.
@Alduin That's what happens when a $3000 PC can run the games better. When the games eventually start coming day and date to PC they'll cost $70. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they start coming to PC 1 year after release with a $70 price point.
Not surprising. Phil gained all that good will by saying games are for everyone while at the same time doing what Sony would do. Why aren't other gaming outlets talking about the hypocrisy?
I was really hoping Sony would replace their party system with Discord. The features and voice quality are top notch. If MS does end up buying them I just hope they don’t treat it like they did Skype.
There are a lot of ppl in here oddly dying on the "Sony will go under if they sell exclusives on PC" hill. Software is the money maker for Sony. Selling that software to more ppl will allow them to continue making these awesome AAA games they are so well known for. The whole "There's no reason to buy a PS console" argument doesn't make sense when its cheaper and more convenient to just buy a console rather than build or purchase a PC. The more games Sony sells the better for us. You guys need to chill.
I’ve been holding off on playing Control in the hopes that it’ll play better on PS5. Seems like it might be the opposite. They’re really giving us the PS3 treatment. It’s probably gonna be priced at $1000.
Idk what’s so baffling about this? Obviously not all titles will be backwards compatible. They’ll probably need an update or something. Pretty disappointed honestly.

Re: Sony Strengthens Indie Bond by Loaning PS5 Devkits to Smaller Studios
They should’ve never stopped supporting indie’s. They’re the only ones innovating atm.

Re: Sony Unveils PSVR2 User Experience, Including See-Through View, Customisable Play Area
Has a lot of the features the Quest 2 has. Why haven't they done a proper showcase on the device itself? We just keep getting these blog posts.
Re: The Last of Us Remake Is Coming to PC 'Very Soon' After PS5 Launch
@IonMagi Whats your source? Those numbers seem insane to me and I'd love to learn more.

@colt3211 what Last of Us 2 things are being added?

Re: Sony Posts Official The Last of Us: Part I PS5 Gameplay in Extended Look
Can’t wait for The Last of Us Part 1 Remastered where they add the dodge and prone mechanic from Part 2 and charge $70 for it as well.

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man PC Wall Climbs Up the Steam Best-Sellers List
This game is gonna print money on PC. It’ll only embolden Sony more as they shrink the wait time between console and PC releases.
Re: The Last of Us: Part I's Emotional Intro on PS5 Has Leaked
I’m holding out for the Last of Us Part 1 remaster. It’ll probably come out around 2024.

Re: PS5's Rumoured Pro Controller Could Have a Sturdy Solution to Stick Drift
If its as premium feeling as the Xbox Elite then I'm game for it. Triple the battery life, lower the latency, and give me paddles on the back.

Re: So, It Seems Xbox Really Will Keep Activision Games Like Call of Duty on PS5, PS4
Definitely a ploy to avoid the wrath of the FTC. Micro$oft deserves zero praise for this.
Re: Sony Responds to Activision Blizzard Buyout, Expects Games to Still Come to PS5, PS4
I think it's time to start thinking about getting Gamepass on PlayStation. Seems inevitable if Micro$oft keeps buying everything.
Re: God of War PC Nearing 75,000 Concurrent Players on Steam
@Would_you_kindly ya I think I would rather not have trophy support if it means another launcher lol
Re: God of War PC Closes on 60,000 Concurrent Players on Steam
@Shinnok789 I know but being able to earn trophies towards my PlayStation account would be way cooler.
Re: God of War PC Closes on 60,000 Concurrent Players on Steam
Now we need trophies on PC. Make it happen Sony.
Re: God of War PC Closes on 60,000 Concurrent Players on Steam
@GADG3Tx87 yes let’s punish the many for the sins of the few.
Re: Rumour: The Last of Us Remake Almost Complete, Out This Year
I wonder why they thought this remake was necessary. I'm guessing it'll line up better with the HBO show or something.
Re: Soapbox: Sony's Bet on PSVR2 Is Brave and That's a Brilliant Thing
They need to allow this to work with PC’s. Then release the exclusive PSVR games on PC a year later or something. The VR market is too niche to work on a console no one can buy.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 Achieves 'Tangible' Realism on PS5 with Haptics, Ray Tracing, More
I would love to see this game on hardcore racing sim rig. Hopefully it has some compatibility.

Re: 'Checkmate, Lawyers' - dbrand Returns with Newly Designed PS5 Faceplates
@TommyNL Go watch Gamers Nexus on YouTube. They discuss and show evidence of the poor air intake design.
Re: 'Checkmate, Lawyers' - dbrand Returns with Newly Designed PS5 Faceplates
Not a fan of the look but the functionality is way better than what Sony created. Those intake vents will definitely improve cooling performance.
Re: 'Checkmate, Lawyers' - dbrand Returns with Newly Designed PS5 Faceplates
@thefourfoldroot I'm sure they're not bothered by your refusal to do business with them lmao

Re: Abandoned PS5's Dev Insists It's Legit, Explains Trailer Delay
And the circus continues….I honestly don’t even care if it’s Silent Hill anymore. Just end it already.
Re: PS5's Abandoned Trailer Isn't Delayed, Says Dev, It's Just Releasing Later
Even if by some miracle this turns out to be a new Silent Hill I won’t care. I’m so over all the bs this dev has pulled. This is ridiculous.

Re: Microsoft Reportedly Opening Its Wallet Once Again for $10 Billion Acquisition of Discord
I was really hoping Sony would replace their party system with Discord. The features and voice quality are top notch. If MS does end up buying them I just hope they don’t treat it like they did Skype.
