Re: Feature: Our PS5, PS4 Predictions for PlayStation Showcase 2021

I’d like to see lots of weird stuff. Indies. Games requiring weird hardware attachments (maracas, power pads, etc). Indies being allowed to mess with PS franchises (HZD turn based?). More 2 player games. Stuff that is over-the-top joyful like Astro — maybe preview Team Asobi’s new thing. Stuff that connects your phone (in-world murder mystery?). Just go nuts. Don’t take everything so seriously. Playstation is a toy.

Re: PS5's April Firmware Update to Feature Many Unlisted Tweaks and Improvements

@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.

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

Re: Soapbox: PS5 Pricing Is Setting Releases Like Returnal Up to Fail

koffing

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.

Re: PS5 Coil Whine Complaints Intensify as System Launches in Europe

koffing

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.

Re: PS5 Coil Whine Becomes a Concern for Some Early Adopters

koffing

@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.
