I really hope Sony doesn't nix crossplay on this as I'm PS5 only now and my friend's are PC players. If I can't crossplay from the PS5 I might just get rid of it and get an XBSX and be done with Sony completely.
Red Dead needs more improvements than just 60fps patch.
Let's start at h....o..........w............s...............l......o.................w............i..................t............................i...........................................................................................................s. Work our way from there.
Does Sony's program have the same day 1 games as MS?
So you see a game come out and folks are immediately chiming in they're playing on Gamepass. Does Sony have that or is their service just old PS4 games and 1 off Sony PS5 games? I didn't think Sony's thing was near as robust.
Here's what Sony can do; copy MS and get games on the service day 1. So say that Evil West game should be on Sony's thing if it's on Gamepass. Need for speed? If it's on Gamepass Sony should have it too. Make the deals.
Once this drops I guess I'll install the game and play.
I didn't play enough on PC to even know what a lot of these things would even do to the game though; like the sigil thing.
Hopefully combat isn't so jank and is smoothed out some. Wonder if the 60fps mode is just the PS4 code at 60 or does that mean it's the PC ultra-ish just minus the RT at 60fps. That'd be fine.
Sadly Plague Tale doesn't hold up on the PS5 compared to the other twins so I guess sub 30 is where it's at again. Just like the good ol' PS3 days.
I'd take 60 with a lower res/less shiny over 30 but IF things have to go 30 they need good motion blur and they have to be rock solid 30. No shenanigans.
I think folks are expecting more now. Honestly I'd keep making games PS4-ish and keep 60fps. These consoles are about 2 gens behind the PC gfx race now so trying to do too much will just melt em.
Keep Unreal4/whatever runs on the ps4/XB1X and crank it to a solid 60+ fps imo.
They can do multiple things at once (other than correct VRR I guess). So remaking whatever isn't taking away from anything else. This ain't an all or nothing situation or some fifo queue.
The games are the same on both sides. GOW is ok but I don't really care about any other Sony 1st party stuff. They certainly ain't Nintendo on that front.
I just found a PS5 first so I got it. If it were an XBSX I'd have that instead.
GOW was fine but i'd have rather had the camera pulled back a bit. Kratos took up too much screen imo.
I have DS 1/2 on Steam but never played for whatever reason. I loaded 1 up for maybe 10 minutes but quit. I don't remember why. May have been it was a bit too much RE in movement style as I can't play any of those till they went first person.
Don't remember though. Could have just been I got caught up in something else and forgot about it.
Sony really isn't good at this anymore. Have a coworker with a new Sony OLED and it's got a lot of oddball issues with black frame insertion, vrr, and other things.
Used to be a fan when the Bravia stuff was new 10 + years ago but would never buy another sony tv/monitor now.
Agreed. I'd rather have the devs make the games in an old engine and get that working. These always look too oddball to me and this one looks way too busy.
Well according to some TLOU remake/master is the satan spawn of games and should've been gifted to the players and how dare they charge money for it blah blah blah.
Don't even think I got that far. I got into town, played about 10 minutes of that silly card game, then fought some blue guys. After that I gave up as it was just not very fun with lead pants mcgee.
I don't need some craziness like Bayonetta but Witcher guy was just a chore to fight with.
That is one of the things that put me off originally.
The char moves like he's wearing lead shoes and the combat is full jank at best. I also hope they ironed that out but wouldn't be surprised if this is just a shinier coat of paint.
Installed and ready for the update to start playing.
Put in maybe 2 hours on PC and couldn't get into it but maybe now I'll be able to. I surely hope the update looks better than the OG did on my old 970. Hairworks was fun for like 5 minutes I guess.
Yeah. Sony definitely phones in stuff like that. VRR should've been to the freesync standard but nope. Sony just did the laziest thing other than just not adding it.

Re: Game of the Year: Aaron's Top 5 PS5, PS4 Games of 2022
@PenguinLtd
I've just started GOWR as I got it for christmas but yeah; that upgrade system was pretty bad in 2018 and I really don't dig they kept that.
I get it; every game needs to be 'open world-ish' with 'rpg elements' but it's getting OLD.
Re: Harry Potter Game Hogwarts Legacy Looks Like Pure PS5 Magic in Huge Showcase
It could be interesting and glad they're not just retelling the books.
The Bully idea posted above sounds interesting.

God of War is nice but not good enough imo.

Re: The Callisto Protocol (PS5) - Just Like Dead Space, for Better and Worse
@Michael2008ish
I'm not going to judge this one as I have Dead Space and never played it; will wait for the new one I guess but you are dead on regarding Doom.
Doom Eternal is a horrific, unplayable mess imo.
Re: Monster Hunter Rise Confirmed for PS5, PS4 Release, Out 20th January
no crossplay? that should be a requirement anymore. No reason to segregate players in MP.
Re: Evil West PS5 Performance Disappoints for a Cross-Gen Game
One of those games that hopefully by the time I might pick it up for 5$ it'll be in the best place they can make it.
Re: PS Plus Is Losing to Xbox Game Pass, And Sony Fears Call of Duty Would Make It Worse
@trev666
Just examples.
Sony needs to be aggressive getting new games out on Sonypass. If not then yeah; it'll suck.
Also really should be putting their 1st party stuff on it. Even if it's 1 month off or something.

Also fire Jim Ryan. Fire him now.

Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Version Releases 14th December, Details and Gameplay Coming Next Week
@Athrum
That's all I'm expecting. I've only played on my 970 PC and it was fine but needed a bit more with hairworks and all that stuff.
I would like them to clean up the combat but if not I'll deal. I only played a bit on the PC so it'll basically be starting fresh.
Re: God of War Ragnarok (PS5) - A Dazzling Crown Jewel in Sony's Catalogue
@LIMA
Maybe but having 60fps is a must imo.
Or just wait for a PS5 pro and go for more gfx at 60fps for GOW 6.
Re: PSVR2 Launches 22nd February 2023, Costs $550
No thanks.
VR is still extremely niche and may never go full mainstream. None of the VR stuff has ever interested me and nothing does at this launch either.
Maybe someday there will be that killer app.
Re: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Has Proven Very Unpopular on PC

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give A Plague Tale: Requiem?

Re: God of War Ragnarok on PS5 Runs at Up to 120fps, Four Graphics Modes
At least there's a 60 option. I'll take that all day long.
Re: Hands On: Resident Evil 4 PS5 Makes a Masterpiece Even Better
When was this a PS2 classic? It was terrible on the PS2.
I tried this one for the first time on the Wii and it was too Resident Evil for me. Awful controls/bad viewpoint/slow.

Well I picked up Ghostbusters cause why not.
Hopefully a good one to play out through Halloween. Been playing a lot of Days Gone and it's getting repetitive as can be.
Re: There's Never Been a Better Time to Play No Man's Sky on PS5, PS4
I'm going to grab this one of these days.
I played waay back at launch but it was a totally different game.
I don't have a love for endless games but I'll find a cheap disc copy and give it another whirl.
Re: Hardcore PlayStation Fans Seem Dead Against a Horizon Zero Dawn Remake or Remaster
Heck; I've only played like 3 hours or so of it anyway so IF Sony would huck me the remastered code for like 10$ I'd take it.
Re: Hardcore PlayStation Fans Seem Dead Against a Horizon Zero Dawn Remake or Remaster
Meh; if one doesn't like it then don't buy it.
They can do multiple things at once (other than correct VRR I guess). So remaking whatever isn't taking away from anything else. This ain't an all or nothing situation or some fifo queue.
Re: Unleash Pixelated Hell in Terror of Hemasaurus, Rampaging onto PS5, PS4 in December
I want to like Rampage. Tried to like it over the years but man it was always too slow and cumbersome.
This looks interesting and for 5$ I'd give it a whirl.
Re: The Callisto Protocol Dev Talks Game Length and How Beta Paths Provide Replay Incentive
Sounds a little long imo.
Keep em to max 8hrs or so. Maybe those side paths make it longer but the main game shouldn't take more than 8 imo.
Re: Talking Point: We Need to Discuss This Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 Remaster
@Voltan
If it were that way I might would pay 10$ since I got the OG for like 9$ and haven't played much of it.
I wouldn't rebuy even at like 30$ though as the og looks fine enough after the 60fps patch.

Every time I hear anything Sony is doing it's dumb.
The gaming side has to be run by the dumbest of the dumb.
Re: EA's Wild Hearts Has Big Next-Gen Toukiden, Monster Hunter Vibes in PS5 Gameplay Reveal
Can't really judge it on a promo-vid.
Not a big fan of the Japanese samurai/ninja type setting stuff so pass for me most likely.
Re: Hardware Review: Sony INZONE H9 - Taking Your Audio Experience to the Next Level
That white is so ugly.
I'd expect those things to be just the normal wireless NC headphones with a mic I'd guess. Supposedly they're not bad.
I use a pair of Bose something or others and they're fine.

Looks like what little I've seen of the game.
Not really into more post apocalyptic stuff so I'll probably catch it sometime but not worried about it.

Re: Mini Review: XIII (PS5) - Improvements Can't Save This Remaster Redo
It wasn't very good originally so why would a 'remake' or whatever be any good?
All I remember was it being nifty cause 'cell shaded' when that wasn't done to death.
Re: PS3 Classic MotorStorm Pacific Rift Looks Sensational in 4K, 60fps on PC
DF did a good one on this.
Motorstorm games looked pretty good even on the pretty rough PS3 hardware.
Re: Hardware Review: Sony INZONE M9: High-End Specs for a High Price PS5, PC Monitor
Not OLED?
Sony really isn't good at this anymore. Have a coworker with a new Sony OLED and it's got a lot of oddball issues with black frame insertion, vrr, and other things.
Used to be a fan when the Bravia stuff was new 10 + years ago but would never buy another sony tv/monitor now.
Re: Syphon Filter 2 the First PS Plus Premium Game with Both 50Hz and 60Hz Modes
Why keep the 50hz setting at all?
Unless I guess the game was PAL only and it would funk up timing or something in game.
Just release everything @ 60hz and be done with it.
Re: Rumour: Sonic Frontiers Will Make You Pick 60FPS or 4K Resolution on PS5
This gen is basically a 1440/60 gen and 4k 30 tops if that depending on drs.
So I think most devs should be aiming for 1440/60 and add the 4k thing in for anyone that just needs that (I have a 4k tv and 1440 is fine).
1080 does seem low unless one has an XBSS. Guess Digital Foundry will let us all know when it releases.
Re: Nightmare Reaper Mixes Blood Soaked Retro Shooting with Modern Mechanics

Agreed. I'd rather have the devs make the games in an old engine and get that working. These always look too oddball to me and this one looks way too busy.
Re: PSVR2 Hands-On Previews Praise Hardware and Games in Glowing Write-Ups

Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage Sneaks to PS5, PS4 in 2023, Priced at $50
Smaller scope is something I'd like to see more of.
Give me 8-10 hours of a really good story/game. Not 100 of fetch quests and icons strewn across a samey 'open world'.
Publishers have just gotten lazy. Ubisoft being the worst offender imo.

It's not installed after checking. Just in there when I got the thing on sale.
So yeah, license in hand; just waiting for the application availability.

Re: Set Phasers to Stunning in Another Space Opera, Coming to PS5 in 2023
