koffing

mostly want Nintendo news that I won’t get and Persona news which I hope for but also don’t expect.

@Jaz007 uhh wasn’t implying journalists lied.. I was merely asking for their opinion. They asked for ours.

Do game journalists think they lied? You and others reported on it.

Is there a way to downvote a post? I don’t see the need or reason for this “news.” Like someone said something on Twitter that got some engagement, guess we better share it too? Is that how it is?

That’s disappointing because that suggests we’re not gonna see this game for a long long time. It also seems a little unnecessary as Dragon Quest was never a strong contender on driving graphics and could push UE4 a lot harder.

Yay! Operation Tango and Squadrons look great for me.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure

Definitely keeping PS+

Coming from Switch Online I have a hard time ever being upset about getting free games... just finished Control and that was delightful.

Games should respect your time. All games should be instantly saveable. It’s for accessibility. The power could go out. The internet can go down. Your family member might play on the system in-between while you are out of the house. Etc.

This just in: news site amplifies random bad opinions for profit and “engagement”

Needs VRR now...

@Northern_munkey exactly! which is why Sony should fix the disc drive issue.

@Northern_munkey the site asked what I wanted not “what I wanted with special conditions like your approval” or “what I wanted that was a big deal.” You are right it’s mostly a simple fix — don’t keep discs in the drive, but I want it. And a lot of people want it. We don’t need to shame people for wanting something. My wants don’t mean yours are less important. The world is big.

Disk drive random spin issue
Cannot remove from wishlist after purchasing game

goof article, needs better title. “Soapbox: Media Framing that “Playstation is Obsessed with Blockbusters” is wrong (or BS)”.

Too long until Kena comes out...

It’s a big blue ocean. The world is big enough for two companies. Or three. Or four.

Depends completely on the genre. If the gameplay isn’t twitchy and the camera is fairly static then 30fps is fine.

I don’t think I would pay $400 to play one video game, even if it was fantastic. But get this and a few others and backwards compatibility and yeah, it would be a much easier sell.

Backwards compatibility with existing Ps4 VR
1-2 killer apps

Wants:
Half Life Alyx port (see no motivation for Valve ro do this)
DLSS 2 equivalent. To hit high framerates you need to run lower res and upscale.

Starting at $70 is fine. Many games already do. 🤷‍♂️ people will decide if it’s worth it or wait for a sale

beat it early this morning. I really enjoyed it. With Game Help it took about 3 hours. Did get stuck once and had a few bugs towards the very end. Beautiful design, story was simple but compelling, world was fun to be in. +1 Would work great in VR.

Mostly stuff we already know about and Ps Plus games. If we get 1-2 interesting tidbits it will be good. A B event would be great.

I want random disc spinning fixed as mentioned above. Disc drive randomly spins for a minute during digital games (eg playing Persona with FF7R disc in).

Also, wishlists. They are still messy. Sync them with the app and... I can’t remove games from my wishlist once I own them. The remove from wishlist button disappears. Sigh. I am glad I have psprices.com

Persona 5 Royal NG+ and Death Stranding.

Waiting for “remove from wishlist” bug to be fixed. I can’t remove any games in my wishlist that I already have purchased.

I have a PS5 but I didn’t want to respond to this poll because I don’t have enough PlayStation 5 games yet to make a real assessment. Maybe ask again in a year or two years?

Wishlists make it back to the PS online store.

I like games with endings so I avoid MMOs and appointment gaming like Animal Crossing.

It’s a mess. I am using the PS5 wishlist feature cause the website, app, and PS5 store are failing me. I guess I save cash cause I can’t find new sales? That’s why game makers offer sales, right? So no one can find their games?

yes AND ... after reading the article and scrolling through 100 comments one thing that has gone unsaid is the Returnal marketing is really lacking. Same for Destruction All Stars. If a publisher wants to ask for $70 that is their call, but they need to recognize they will have to justify the cost to consumers. I haven’t seen anyone put in the work there. Showing two teaser trailers with little gameplay isn’t going to cut it. Their marketing departments need to step up. Maybe the game is worth it but after watching the two trailers I know almost nothing about the game. Timeloop, surprise face, boom boom, repeat. Gotta distinguish yourself from the competition. I am more excited by Kena and Seasons imo.

@Tharsman yeah, I just wish they found a softer way to do this. Like give advance warning? I think the vast majority of potential owners will want the new version. But a small percent of a large population is still a lot of people.

when my daughter is playing Dreams (using speakers or headphones) II can hear it from 20 feet. It makes me question if I have super hearing.

my system has it. I can hear my ps5 from 6-10 feet away. I would like to pretend I have superpower hearing abilities, but I don’t. I am disappointed that it’s not as quiet as reviewers led me to believe, but it’s still fairly quiet compared to many other things in my house. My fridge in the other room can drown it out.

@God_of_Nowt Maybe? I think the genuine concern is someone bought a dud and it dies an early death or starts malfunctioning right after the warranty expires. It’s expensive. My Ps5 is much louder than I expected based on comments. I can easily hear mine from 5 feet away even while playing. It’s not a big deal. Speaking for myself I just want it to last because it’s going to get a ton of use.

i cannot get a dualsense to pair with iOS, That isn’t possible until iOs 14.3 is out. As of console launch it is not. . https://www.macrumors.com/2020/11/12/whats-new-ios-14-3/

I think the missing context is I am speculating here they couldn’t integrate the existing store with the PS5. It’s good to see improvements though those need to be rolling out at a faster pace. At least this is a huge accessibility improvement. It’s crazy to rely on game art to figure out what you are clicking.

I wish “up to 60fps” wasn’t becoming a saying

@Jayofmaya Yes, original has better fidelity but new version has better music, extra story, and new modes that imo make it better to play. It’s unfortunate there isn’t a real definitive version with no compromises. If you are a couch gamer, this new version is probably the way to go.

https://youtu.be/Qdm4pB-1Dlc is Digital Foundry’s video comparing original Ps4 version to the Switch version. Maybe they’ll do a followup, though I am sure they are very busy right now. I have the Switch version and it’s fantastic, but I wish it had the resolution, filtering, and materials of the Ps4 version. The portability is pretty nice though and it’s a fantastic game however you play it. As has been said the Switch version has crazy aliasing so even with the materials and detail downgrades this S version on the PS4 is going to look a lot cleaner. If you are at all on the fence get the demo. It’s the first 10 hours of the game which is the most generous demo I have seen in a long, long time.

@GamingFiend I agree. Sony marketing says “ The PULSE 3D wireless headset has been specifically tuned to deliver the 3D Audio made possible by the PlayStation®5 console.” but it’s not clear what that really means. People’s ears are different (hence PS5 maybe having custom HRTFs) so it’s not clear what Sony can really do on the hardware to make it “more 3d” except have decent sound reproduction... similar to any good headphones.

I mean.... yes... but it doesn’t have Bugsnax so... 0 : )

“Ubisoft Had to Rewrite PS5 Descriptions Due to Concern Trolls on Twitter” -> “Ubisoft Fixes Confusing Tweet on PS5 Game Performance”

I get the internet is terrible, but it probably wasn’t just malicious actors who got Ubi to fix their tweet. Like that’s the whole point of company comms: to clearly explain the company’s story and to sell product. Not confuse would-be buyers. Correlation is not causation.

Q: how long are the cables (hdmi, charging, power)?
Q: charge cable is usb-c both sides?

Delightful game on Switch and was a very generous demo.

@God_of_Nowt Exactly. It’s a little disappointing to me seeing how well Series X is handling BC vs PS5. I kind of expected it given Microsoft has been doing backward compatibility on Windows for four decades, but these announcements which are supposed to excite me, instead confuse me. There’s so much potential to take these older titles and get them running rock solid on the new hardware. Very curious to see it all in practice.

I find these kinds of tweets frustrating. Like, do I have to scale back the PS4 Pro visuals to get a higher framerate? Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I want to hear fidelity mode is 60fps locked.

The site looks like a mock, not a real website. Has anyone in gaming journalism asked Sony PR what is going on? I suspect this rush job has to do with PS5 store compatibility.

Yes AND new site still doesn’t work with Safari iOS. https://www.reddit.com/r/playstation/comments/ftqyrq/does_the_playstation_store_no_longer_work_with/

I can still only login in Private Browsing mode.

this video worked more for me than the “no limits” ads.

and new store is still broken on ios safari. sigh.
