@AgentGuapo We are all SO happy for you that you’re getting the 30th Anniversary Pro 🙄🤪

@Yagami Not Miyazaki’s choice; Sony owns that IP and so it’s unfortunately their call.
But I heard there’s a live service Bloodborne FPS in the works, so all good!!! 😉 🤪

@Bez87 This exactly!

@Nintendo4Sonic Did you play the PS5 updates? They definitely did not run at 60fps with ray tracing, at least in my experience. RE3 in particular was dropping frames like crazy when I tried the update after it was released. Maybe it’s better now, but it was a frustrating experience for me…

Still haven’t played my copy, excited to be able to get 60fps with amazing visuals AND ray tracing. Haters can hate, but the Pro is there for folks who want that extra nudge of power to really help the games shine and get the best play experience.

Hopefully a Pro patch coming soon for 2 and 3

Just got my physical copy today! Can’t wait to play this, but… gotta play Alan Wake (1) first!!! Love that this DLC connects to Control; one of my absolute favs on PS4. Yay, Remedy!

Fantastic game, but I’ve had my fill after finishing it once this year. Maybe down the road…
I cancelled my Pro preorder with Sony. Still waiting to hear about patches for such game as…
-Silent Hill 2
-Armored Core VI
-Elden Ring
-Resident Evil 2 & 3 (remake)

@Nintendo4Sonic Pretty sure I know exactly what I’m missing, based on a lot of these comments, and the fact that I played the first two games. Perhaps I’ll get to it eventually, when it is MUCH cheaper. But I’m glad you enjoyed the game 👍🏼

SH2 is an absolute masterpiece. Got me to put down Astrobot, which is very telling bc that game is FUN. Bloober has leveled up and deserves all the praise. Excited for Cronos next year!

Yep, been waiting…

Still haven’t played it, likely will not. Enjoyed the first game, and thought MM was the better of the two. No desire for more Spiderman at this point. Wake me when Wolverine is ready though!!!

I totally get how the disc drive being optional could be perceived as consumer friendly, giving us all more options. But the $80 (US) price tag for the drive feels ridiculous, especially given that the price difference between the current slim digital/disc is only $50. If they’re trying to be consumer friendly, then match this price with the Pro, and sell it bundled with the drive for $750. And then on top of that they want another $30 for a stand to make the console stand up vertically like it is shown on the f***ing box it ships in… Ugh… Sony has been watching Apple and taking notes… 🙄

I mean, c’mon, this looks fantastic. More like a Nioh-like anyways… All these new developers want to take a crack at their favorite genre, challenging action-RPGs, and that is O-Kay with me!

Yep looks awesome. Bloober have leveled up hard and I’m here for it.

Congratulations Bloober Team!
Such an awesome remake! 👏🏼

@nessisonett Astrobot is absolutely fantastic! I’m not a huge platformer junky, but it is SO much fun!

Annoying, but not terribly surprising. Surely this is why they created this service in the first place? To sell subscriptions with old games people want to play. What’s weird is how they pick and choose what games you can actually buy. Capcom seems to be playing some part in this decision…

Never played Siren, definitely intrigued.

Edit: Holy sh*t this was written and directed by Keiichiro Toyama—how have I not played this?! 😫

10 hours in and absolutely loving it. Played the original to death back in the day, and feel confident saying they absolutely nailed it. This is the same terrifying, highly disturbing Silent Hill we know and love. Again, nowhere near being finished (just finished the apartment building; I play slowly), but so far it’s a knockout. Atmosphere, art direction, sound (WOW), and combat are all fantastic. So… my review-in-progress score is a current 10

Always stupid when they apologize for “inconvenience”. Apologies for “disappointment” instead, yeah?

4 hours into Silent Hill 2R, and wowza Bloober did a fantastic job! The combat is visceral and challenging, and they really seem to have expanded the game quite a bit without messing with the original vibes. The new soundtrack is fantastic too. Just WOW

YES. I mean, I WILL be playing it this weekend once my copy arrives and I have actual time…

High praise indeed. VERY EXCITED for this weekend. VERY EXCITED for that special place.

Humans are really awesome.
Great job humans. 👏🏻

Super excited to hear this redone soundtrack. Akira Yamaoka‘s work is absolutely iconic. We are all in for a horror masterclass next week!
Way to go Bloober Team!

Yeah. Baby!!! Called it!!!! You did it, Bloobs!!!

@Kidfunkadelic83 I'm with ya 100% man. I have yet to reveal to my better half that I have two new fancy anniversary controllers on the way AND a vanilla PS5 Pro. I can feel the glares already! It's like they want us to spend the money on important stuff like the house or a savings account... Madness, I tell you!

The Bloobs have got this! I’m anticipating a solid remake of Silent Hill: Deux—7’s, 8’s, and 9’s inbound!

This was my main issue with the first game. 30 hours or so in, skill tree maxed out, I was feeling done, despite not finishing the main story (which was admittedly solid). That said, I really enjoyed the majority of time I spent with the game, so I’m curious what they’ll do to improve this sequel.

@Lup Yeah the combat could really be improved. I ended playing it on lethal because I had gotten so good at the game, but then lethal was SUPER frustrating for duel encounters. Room to grow!

Very excited for this remake from Bloober Team. I hope they nail it, but I also am not expecting perfection. Expectations fully in check and ready to revisit a classic with some serious modernization.

Would have been nice if they did this before the pre-orders went live… Do much for those of us that wanted one now

Wasn’t best for the fans 😑 which seems to be the mantra for a lot of companies these days

Can’t wait for this! It’s going to be absolutely coo-coo bananas and…
SO GOOD

@Old-Red @iceclimbersmain Nice to see a few actual gamers snagged one of these! Enjoy!

@Resaint In the USA the Pro is still available as of this moment. Any scalper who bought a vanilla Pro to put on Ebay definitely did it wrong lol

@TheTony316 Nice! Hoping for 2 and 3 remakes to get em too. I’m sure they will. The ray tracing on those games looks beautiful but really drags down the frame rate.

It is indeed very expensive. I preordered one, but am on the fence whether I’ll ultimately keep that order. The prospect of spending another $80+tax on the disc drive to play my huge library of physical games, and worse yet, $30+tax just to stand the damn thing upright, is leaving a bad taste in my mouth. So yeah, a bit torn still…
I owned a PS4 Pro a while back though and was pretty happy with it. More announced games will help. Hoping to hear names like Returnal, Dead Space, Armored Core, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill 2 announced soon. Horror games will really benefit from that boost in ray tracing while maintaining a solid framerate. That’ll definitely win me over!

@BowTiesAreCool He is partnering with A24, that’s a fact. But Alex Garland has said he’s done directing after Civil War, so I seriously doubt that would happen, as awesome as it would be.
But Kojima and George Miller seem to be gushing over each other… 🤩

@SoCalCat Play that thing! Give it the life it deserves! Such a gorgeous device—enjoy!

This is looking more polished, in my opinion. Haters gonna hate, but I’m pumped for this game! Preordered and ready to Slitter, baby!

Pre-ordered the standard Pro (USA), but not 100% sure if I’ll keep the order or cancel. We have some time to think about it… Hoping to see a few more games pop up on the list, like Returnal, Resident Evil, and Armored Core VI

@carlos82 This is what I’m hoping too! Resident Evil 2 and 3 looked gorgeous in their PS5 updates with ray tracing, but ran like dogsh*t. Here’s hoping those frame rates can be ironed out! Been itching to play through 2 again…

@carlos82 Same. Preordered in USA while still fully on the fence, with plenty of time to cancel. There seem to he plenty to go around here, so no worries…

I’ve counted at least 80 on Ebay, and that was like 4 hours ago…

US is bonkers. Over an hour just in the waiting room. Controller already sold out on Amazon.

Edit: able to get a 30th Dualsense Edge, which is what I was (realistically) hoping for, aside from the Pro 30th.

Some good stuff in there, but honestly don’t care much about Ghost of Yotei. I loved Tsushima at first but never finished. Guessing this will be more of the same…?

This looks really interesting. Love a sci-fi soulslike!

@Luna-Harmony it’s going to be an absolute sh*t show! Any real fans will be very, VERY lucky if they get one. How about Sony just take orders from everyone who wants one and produce the consoles for everyone per order, thus eliminating the scalpers? We know Sony has the resources for this!! Or are they going to run out of gray paint??? Absolutely disgusting capitalist nonsense!

I’d take a detailed P figure with interchangeable arms. But this stuff, nah..

Who’s ready to break the internet as we battle to the death on Thursday for a PS5 Pro 30th?! Let’s rumble!!
