I still have my PS4 here, but i just don't use it anymore. As long as big games aren't being restricted of all their potential because of these old machines, i don't care

The game i want the most has been announced for PS5 already: South of Midnight, so I'm good. But I'd love seeing the next Gears game on PS5 as well and State of Decay too

Too long. I wasn't really impressed with most stuff but Control Resonant was a cool announcement. Also, E33 sweep the whole damn thing, which made me dislike the game a bit more, but I'm still inclined to go back and try the free stuff they released today

That was quite underwhelming

Because of the timezone difference, we in Brazil don't have anything yet. I hate to wait. I'll take a lot at the UK Store while i wait

I never liked MH (though i might give Stories a try) so i won't be getting this game, but I'm glad they're actually solving performance issues in this game, and hopefully, the whole game engine. It's clear now that RE Engine doesn't work really well with open world games, since this is not the first time that we have a game like this running like crap

@Czar_Khastik lol that's a classic that brings so many memories from watching AVGN. Good times haha

Sad to hear that. I've seen his name in so many different projects
May he rest in peace

LJN, the three letters of pure gold and quality standard in videogame. I don't know anything about this game, it was way before i was born but i do believe that James Rolfe (AVGN) played this game at some point

Kinda weird that they're bringing this game to PS5

The local timezone that you use here is so helpful. Geoff Keighley thinks the whole damn world lives in North America and i just hate converting timezones, especially now that we don't use daylight savings anymore

Got the game first on PC, back in April 2021, when i used to play a lot on PC. Bought the game again in 2022 for my Xbox One, back in March, i think. Got the game AGAIN last year, around March, on my PS5, with the DLC too. This was the first time i finished the game

I love the atmosphere of this game and playing it with Dualsense + 3D Audio is just an unforgettable experience. A solid 9/10 for me

MK is out? lol
I've seen people ***** on this game time and time again, so i guess this makes sense

I get so frustrated with this game's combat in higher difficulty modes but i always come back to it (2018) no matter what. There's something about it that just tickles my brain in the right way: the presentation, level design, story, sound design, puzzles, exploration, graphics, menu, combat (even when I'm pissed at the game because of it)...this game is pretty much my autistic repetitive behavior firing at all cylinders

I think one of the devs from Larian (@Cromwelp) pretty much confirmed this port on X. So yep, it's coming

I can't believe that there are people saying that a PS4 with a SSD = PS5's SSD. The latter literally uses the SSD to stream assets as fast as possible, working alongside the console's GPU, while reducing load times. Wow, people are spreading misinformation like there's no tomorrow

A PS5 port of DOS2 would be very welcome

Saros is my most expected game of 2026. Can't wait to play it

I stopped buying any Square games since June of last year

Oops

This game is still running at 30fps? If it is, I'll pass

@Quintumply I've read a bunch of people complaining about performance issues with this game on X but they all had a Pro, but since i don't have one, it doesn't really matter to me. Adding this to my wishlist btw

Cool. Hopefully these guys will have the chance to actually finish their game this time around without the higher ups killing their project

@graymamba obrigado (which means "thank you" in brazilian portuguese), and to you too! I liked the "boa sorte" bit haha

@graymamba i know that this is a possible reality, but i still think the cost of a new console for me, even if it's more expensive than it's expected, will be the best option for me. In Brazil PCs are quite expensive and PS5 Pro here is still very expensive to the point it's not worth the cost since i already own a base PS5. I'm more than inclined to spend a bit more on a new hardware than i would in a Pro, however.

I'm also planning on getting a PS6 at the end of 2028 (i learned with past experiences not to buy new hardware right after launch), so i think by then this whole situation with RAM shortage might be resolved, but even if it isn't, I'll still get a PS6. I might only change my stance if by some miracle gaming notebooks become more affordable in Brazil and if Sony keeps putting their games on PC with no sign of stopping

All i know is that I'm for the first time really excited about Sony's next console just because i know that this time I'll be able to afford one in less than 4 years after its launch, a first in my life

Meh, i never watched anything from this guy but it just seems like he's stating things that, TO ME, are quite useless at the moment. I'm more interested about the spec leaks of PS6, which he already did, so i expect more news about this in the future, and even then, I'm just gonna read the news here or watch a DF video, it's easier for me

To this day i never really felt "damn, i should've bought a Pro because X, Y and Z games are so much better in it" and that's great for me, i don't regret skipping the PS5 Pro. I actually think PS4 Pro was a more compelling upgrade than this console and now we're approaching the end of this generation, so i think it's too late to invest in a Pro, even if i wanted to (which i don't)

I'll start saving money at the beginning of next year so i can buy a PS6 in 2028. Any games that didn't run decently on my base PS5 will run much better on PS6 than a PS5 Pro, with a better implementation of PSSR, i see this as a huge win for me.

Tested this game during the closed beta (or was it alpha? Can't remember) last year on PS5. It was fun, even though i suck at fighting games

Meh, I'll pass. Never was interested in this game and seeing it being renamed and relaunching after the first one being forgotten is a bad sign, imo

I just hope HBO Max won't cease to exist and i hope they won't be using these game studios to put games on their Netflix platform instead of selling these companies, otherwise RIP Rocksteady

I don't know, to me all of this sounds really bad. I don't like Netflix and the way they operate at all. Obviously price increase incoming

@ItsAlwaysSunnyyy i couldn't agree more with you

I bought Ghost of Yotei (physical) and just started playing today. Game looks damn fine, especially the vegetation and textures

I really want South of Midnight to come to PS5. Avowed...meh, don't care about it too much

@SeanOhOgain the answer for your question is written in the article

Yep, the paranoia, i said earlier today about this lol

Might as well try getting some Demon's Souls Remake trophies

Nixxes should try do the same in a bunch of PS5 1st party games. I don't care about PC, but i want smaller games installed on my SSD

Game seems nice, but 85 reais in Brazil on PS Store is a lot, taking into account that the same game is costing only 54,90 on Xbox but since I'm stuck on PS5 and don't own a Series X or S, I'll have to pick this up eventually...

And yes, the game is cheap on Steam too, but i just don't like playing on PC.

They should have implemented at least haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. I'll get this game eventually just because i already own RDR2 on my PS5. RDR2 with 60fps performance and better graphics for PS5 is the only thing i want.

LOL i said yesterday and here we are again, another chapter of "IS IT AI? OH GOD, IS IT, ISN'T IT? OR MAYBE IT ISN'T..." drama

Does it have haptic feedback and adaptive trigger support?

@rusty82 hmm interesting. Thank you for the heads up. Maybe I'll give this game a try, then, because it does look fun and i already own the other two games.

I was almost getting Doom The Dark Ages but then i saw the performance and i instantly gave up. The game has some really annoying framerate drops (lower 50s and sometimes high 40s) in very open areas on base PS5 and i can't believe that even Pro can't beat Xbox Series X in performance. I can stomach horrendous performance in games like Space Marine 2 because that game doesn't really demand quick reflexes, but Doom does and id software dropped the ball here

Might as well wait for a PS6 to get this game

It's kinda funny how desperate and angry people get about anything related to AI nowadays, like there's this paranoia that never ends. It never ceases to amuse me.

No thanks, I'm totally fine without this game anywhere near my home or PS5. I just bought Ghost of Yotei and I'm about to buy something else. CoD died to me after 2009

Hmm that actually reminds me that I'll be better off waiting for a possible new re-release of this game instead of buying it eventually. Thank you lol

Awesome, now we only need Yakuza 6 running at 60fps and we're good, Xbox already has Yakuza 6 at 60fps, so we need Sega to put out a patch for this one too on PS5

Weird upgrade path. I think i own all 3 of them digitally, so i might as well upgrade them all, but why each one of them has a different price? So bizarre. They should all be free, maybe with exception of Yakuza 0, but Sega is still being greedy, huh...well better than nothing, but 60fps it's a must in Kiwami 2, otherwise i won't even care about the free upgrade

My favorite Playstation console of all Playstation i owned and the reason is that the hardware is really good. Most games still run very well on my base PS5 and the backward compatibility is amazing. The Dualsense controller is realy good. I'm not lying when i say that i buy games nowadays if they support both haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. Playing Cyberpunk 2077 with 3D audio + adaptive trigger + haptic feedback is one of the most fun and immersive experience i ever had in my entire gaming experience. Hearing the rain falling while running around with my horse in Ghost of Tsushima, jumping from my chair when Aloy screamed when i was fighting in Horizon Zero Dawn or feel tense as ***** while playing Silent Hill 2 Remake while listening to all the disturbing things the game has...PS5 definitely elevated my experience as a gamer and i love every minute of it

Having said all that, there are issues with the platform or system of PS5. Not a lot of 1st party games that made me think "yeah, this is a must have game" aside from Returnal, Demon's Souls Remake and Astro Bot (haven't played Yotei yet); really expensive games in Brazil (that's something I'll never shut up about); PS Store is a deposit of asset flip garbage "games" which makes find actual decent games a chore...
I love the Dualsense but the drift issue is something that still haunts players to this day (me included) and this is the most annoying console in terms of cleaning. I never even cleaned my PS4 internally, now i need to open my PS5 every month to clean the dust and this is annoying as all hell

Overall, technically I'd say PS5 is the best Playstation console i ever owned, but PS4 and PS3 are still kings when it comes to 1st party games and even backward compatibility support (where's Digital Devil Saga and God Hand, Sony? They'll get stuck on PS3 forever?)

@Pequod gaming is becoming such an expensive hobby for me. I love gaming, I've been playing games since i was 4, dare i say gaming is my hyperfocus, always has been. I hate to be in this situation where i gotta look at my financial situation very carefully before deciding where will i play videogames because i really like consoles, but think you're right, i might go PC next gen if the situation doesn't change that much. I'll wait and see. If Playstation Brazil change their stance and actually use regional pricing like Xbox, Steam, Epic Store and Nintendo do, then I'll gladly reconsider my choice (doubt they will do that, though)

@Pequod something that i still don't understand is Sony saying that losing some console users is ok because the extra revenue from porting makes up for this loss. If someone leaves the PS ecosystem and moves towards PC, every single 3rd party game they buy there will not generate any profit to Sony, any cosmetics from Fortnite, Warzone or Apex bought by this person on PC will not generate any profit to Sony, they'll lose PS Plus subscriptions and even their 1st party games won't be as profitable as they could be if the person was buying the game on a PlayStation (and that if they don't pirate the game)

I'm not an expert in financials nor I'm well informed about Sony's profits, revenue and etc but to me that doesn't sound a really positive scenario in the long run

I'm from Brazil and here almost every digital game from PS Store had a recent price raise, but even before that, almost every game on PS5 and PS4 were more expensive than their Xbox or Switch version, now they're more expensive than before especially because games on Xbox and Switch didn't suffer any price raise recently. Games like Ghost of Yotei, Rise of the Ronin, Death Stranding 2, and Silent Hill F are costing 400 reais (our currency in Brazil) here, which is 75 US dollars today. This price is almost a third of a minimum wage here in Brazil, which is insane

On PC these games are way more affordable, so i can't see why most people in Brazil wouldn't move towards PC: It's free to play online, most PS5 games are being ported to PC and you can also play every Xbox game available. Microsoft now is getting ready to release a machine that will play Playstation 1st party games in it (at least the ones who were ported to Steam and Epic Store) + Xbox games + PC games with a hardware that is expensive but that will probably be more powerful than the next PS6. Switch 2 is selling like water and Microsoft now owns so many studios that they're pretty much a big publisher with a lot of highly successful IPs under their wings.

Sony is doing fine for now, but I'm not sure how things will pan out for them in the long run (aka the next gen). Now that everyone is aware that most Playstation games are coming to PC, and if people don't care about spending more upfront to get a PC, they'll leave Playstation and probably never come back. I owned every Playstation console until now and I'm constantly going back and forth about going full PC, i almost did in this gen. The prices of these games on Playstation are killing my wallet and physical media here in Brazil a lot of times are as expensive (if not more so) than digital

@MasterChiefWiggum no, this game is not Soulslike at all, not even close. Also, parries are easy to pull because the timing window to react is quite generous, way more than any other game that exists and I'm glad this game isn't anything like Gears. Even though i love Gears, that game's formula got stale really fast. I really enjoyed this game, way more than i thought i would
