Good to see consoles going strong and helping boosting sales of games like this. Maybe other devs in the future will bring their games on consoles faster. Phasmophobia is another good example of console port selling very well. I'm glad for them

The only Microsoft port I've bought until now is Hi Fi Rush. I was going to buy Oblivion Remastered but i found out that the game is filled with crashes, stutters and horrible performance issues. Not gonna give my money to Microsoft for doing this half assed remaster. Thought about getting Age of Mythology Retold but apparently this game also has technical issues. I wanted to pick up Doom The Dark Ages but I'm aware that performance on both PS5 consoles are worse than the performance on Xbox Series X and i don't have a TV with VRR support, so...

If Microsoft keeps doing these ***** ports, then I'll skip all of their games

I'm waiting to see if Gears will run fine on PS5 because i love this franchise, but I'm sure as hell won't be pre ordering this game

Doesn't matter to us brazilians. Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei already cost 400 reais (80 dollars) here. That's why I won't be buying any future Sony games until they're on deep deep deep deep deep deep deep deep sale, or I'll get a PC in 2027 and buy games there.

Played this game a lot in March and then never touched it again. I even uninstalled from my PS5. It gets repetitive after a while, especially because i played and tested most heroes now and...i don't know...i just find it boring. The matchmaking is pretty bad and the game modes are meh. Don't see myself getting back unless my friends decide to play this thing with me

I was going to buy this one, but then i heard it won't have The War of the Lions content on it, so I'll skip it. And since Square Enix is releasing every PS game in every platform (for financial reasons) I'm still waiting for Bravely Default games - including the remastered one, which until now is EXCLUSIVE ON THE SWITCH 2 - to be released on PS5. After all, they're the ones saying that they're focusing on releasing more games on more platforms...right?

Let me state this in a very clear manner for all of you: this game is now costing 400 reais (brazilian currency) on PS Store, which is NOT the equivalent of 70 dollars. This price is the equivalent of 80 dollars. So, you might me wondering, how much was the game before? Did the price change at all? Yes, it did. It went from 450 reais to 400, which means the game was priced higher than the usual, for reasons i can't explain, and yes, I'm talking about the standard edition. I don't know why the price is so high in Brazil but this change didn't benefit us at all, we're still getting ***** by Microsoft, regardless

Doesn't matter, though, I'll skip this one, gladly. Also, Microsoft has been doing a ***** job with their ports on PS5: Doom Eternal performance is worse on PS5 than Xbox Series X, even on PS5 Pro; Age of Mythology Retold is ***** on PS5, with horrible performance issues (according to reddit), Oblivion Remastered on PS5 received most updates way after Xbox did (until the last update, where the game was finally patched on the same day in all in platforms) and so on. I won't buy or support their stuff if they keep doing ***** like this. The only Microsoft game i got to this day on PS5 was Hi Fi Rush

Never heard of this guy before. Anyway, with only 10% in CPU boost over the base PS5, i think it's unlikely that this will be feasible, especially if the game is CPU bound (which it will probably be). Frame Gen techniques can help, but they're ***** if you're trying to hit 60fps, so you need something above that to get a decent performance without too much input lag and strange on-screen artifacts (Black Myth Wukong is a perfect example on how not to implement FG on a game), which means the game should at least hit 60fps natively for that to happen and you need a higher refresh rate than 60hz. 30fps to 60fps isn't gonna work. You can use VRR with a 120hz refresh rate to kinda help the situation, i think, but having a game like this to hit close to 60fps natively so it can run at a framerate higher than 60fps to avoid input lag and other ***** is too much for me to imagine. Anyway, I'm OK with 30fps.

I really don't see the point of writing an article about these kinds of stuff...? I don't know anything about popcorn buckets but whatever lol

Can't see this happening, but if it does, I'm 100% getting a decent PC or even buying the next gen Xbox in 2027 (or whatever the year PS6 comes out). The reason being that both Xbox and PC sell games cheaper than Playstation does in Brazil. Why spend 400 bucks in a game if a year later said game will be released on PC costing 100 bucks less? The Outer Worlds 2 is costing 455 bucks on PS5 and 400 bucks on Xbox right now...

If Sony wants to "earn more money", then I'll save me some more money and we're good

I'm pretty sure this is coming, but not until later this year. I can wait

Best solution is stop making garbage online only games that will sink faster than Titanic in less than a year. Most of these games are made just to profit on microtransactions

@Lowdefal if you can show any documentation or official sources that can prove what you're saying, send me the link so i can see. Otherwise this is my opinion about this situation and it won't change until someone from the dev team or Playstation says what happened.

@Oram77 that doesn't mean that there might be deals with Sony and the studio responsible for making each of these games that we don't know anything about. With Bloodborne might be one kind of deal, with Demon's Souls might another one entirely, and so on and so forth. So, again, there's no guarantee about what exactly happened unless someone from Arrowhead confirms that. I won't change my mind on that unless someone from the dev team says what's going on. You can think whatever you want, though, I'm not trying to convince you of anything, i appreciate you could do the same. Thanks

@Oram77 i don't think this is enough to let Sony decide what Arrowhead can or can't do with the game, depending on the deal they made with the studio when this game was made, though. Maybe in the future someone from Arrowhead can explain this to us, but i doubt this gonna happen, there's probably NDA involved or something

I wonder how many studios, staff and games they'll get rid of in the next 12 months. I feel bad for the devs

Seems like Sony couldn't really have a say about this in the end since they don't even own Arrowhead, and they also don't own Lego...so this isn't going to be something that's going to happen very frequently. Nothing surprising here

Can i play Operations or at least Siege without using PS Plus and not lose my progress? Can anyone answer me that? Every time i look for this answer, something different comes up. I heard you lose progress if you play "offline". I just don't think it's worth playing this game only for the main campaign

Capitalism, right? As a Brazilian, all I'll say is, I'll not but any of these games unless they're cheaper than 200 reais from now on and if Sony keeps doing this then I'll skip the PS6 and get a PC, since they put their games on PC 100 reais cheaper than on console (or for free, if you know what i mean). They're going for the most positive and profitable route, right? Only fair that we, Brazilians users do the same thing too

I've been playing on Playstation since 2003, but I'm not loyal to a brand, at all

I'll take the free online weekend play, thanks, and that's about it. PS Plus subscription in Brazil is insanely expensive, even more now, after they raised the price for each tier

This isn't even the worst kind of asset flip AI garbage game. The worst ones are the scams that try to copy famous indie games that aren't on Playstation yet, such as REPO or Mouthwashing. I've warned some of these devs in the past about this and they reported the game and they were taken down eventually. Sony is getting lazier and lazier

I own both RE2 and 3 in my account. Let's hope I'll be able to access them on my PS5, just like it happened with RE Director's Cut

Couldn't care less about "aesthetic experience" or Pro. I just want a decent and fun game, just like SH2 Remake was

Impressive stuff, but this is just a tech demo made to impress and hype people up. I doubt the game itself will run at a consistent 60fps with RT on base PS5 AND PS5 Pro. Maybe this will be possible on PS6

Wow, what a surprise, actually two:

This is the first time since September (the month Astro Bot was released) that i, as a base PS5 owner, feel remembered (even though this feature should not even be removed in the first place, and what i really wanted was the logo and sound that appears when you boot the console...)

Something that has nothing to do with PC

Yeah, the bar is very low at this point

Kinda obvious. PS5's CPU is 4 years old already. Open world games tend to be CPU bound, and I'm pretty sure you'll need a better CPU than the consoles have to run this thing at a stable 60fps. This all applies to Pro too, since its CPU is the same one from the base console with a "boost" that is quite small

Every single time i played a game that uses Katana Engine on PC, performance was very inconsistent, to say the least (with exception of Nioh 2). Guess you could say this is another "added feature" of their PC ports

I'm just glad Jim Ryan stepped down from Sony's management. Guy didn't know what the ***** he was doing (even though still looks like his substitutes are as clueless as he was)

Ah, the guy who said Starfield was coming to PS5 and then retracted his statement

Saw people on Twitter commenting that the flickering was still there, reduced but still present, so i guess they're (EA) at least being honest lol

The game was made in Unreal Engine 4, not 5. Native 4K with Ray Tracing at a quite stable 60fps on PS5 is a huge technical feat. Don't know why Metaphor Refantazio doesn't use this engine instead of that outdated thing that was used back in Persona 5...ugh

@Nyne11Tyme it is lol i just hope PS6 isn't that expensive. And thanks! Have a great holiday you too!!

@Nyne11Tyme in Brazil lol
You can pay 6.500 upfront in some websites, but most people will use credit card and pay in installments, and that's when the price goes up to 7000, and that's not including the disc drive

I was waiting for Persona 3 Reload, but nope...the standard edition isn't on sale. Very disappointing sales for me. Best deal for me are the Timesplitters games. Hell, Robocop is actually more expensive now than it was on the last sale in Brazil lol
At least I'll be saving some good money this time around, as I'll probably buy only 2 Timesplitters games and that's it.

Thank you for the reminder.
Anyways, I'll keep playing my games on my PS5, while waiting for the PS6, because now you made me remind myself that the Pro costs 7K bucks in my country, and that's too much for me and almost everyone living here

The only mod i ever used while playing Remake on PC was one that tried (unsuccessfully) to fix the stutterfest that the game was, like most UE4 games on PC are. I'm glad that i don't have to go through this kind of headache again on consoles

Yep, I'm glad i skipped this console. Its cost and performance/image quality improvements isn't enough to convince me to spend 7K + 800 bucks (for the detachable disc drive) to get one. I just hope that by the time PS6 comes out in 3 years, that it can do PSSR better <<<in every game>>> (and it'll probably will) so i can play PS5 games via BC, just like I'm doing with PS4 games, with better image quality and stable performance without the need to rely on a TV with VRR

This list is horrible lol

Nice! Finally a game update that has nothing to do with the Pro and that might actually add something interesting for me and everyone else. Just don't break the game with this update, CDPR...please, I'm actually in a middle of a playthrough right now and I'm just loving the 3D audio implementation of this game on the PS5. The best 3D audio (alongside Returnal) I've heard so far

Nice list. I'll make sure to play these games in their enhanced modes when i get a PS6, when it comes out in the future

Last year, my time spending playing on my PS4 was shameful. I think i only played a few hours of God of War Ragnarok and that's it. I was playing too much on PC. This year it's the opposite (thankfully). I'm pretty sure the game i played the most was Elden Ring on my PS5, since i decided to start a whole new save just to play the DLC. My total time with that game today is +450h. And after that, is probably Rebirth and then either Risk of Rain 2 or Banishers

I don't need new things on my consoles, i just need an affordable machine that can run games decently, without too much headaches, and consoles can do that just fine, thank you.

Why not making them permanent? The 30th anniversary will last for a whole year, so let us at least keep the boot up screen and themes for this amount of time...

OR, even better, let everyone that owns a PS5 until now to keep these things forever.

Nothing's gonna happen

@R_Ryder lol that's actually quite funny and I'm not even being sarcastic

Definitely gonna pick this up on PS5. I was aware about this game but i didn't want to buy on PC and i haven't used Game Pass anymore since 2022 (i just pay when they put the price at 5 bucks, anything more than that is not worth for me). Great news

I'm actually enjoying the game a lot on my base PS5, so no complaints on my part

"Somewhere in the back of everybody's head is this Fear Of Missing Out. You're not playing it the perfect way for the perfect scene"

lol i never even thought about this, i was too busy enjoying the gameplay and the mood of the game

@LowDefAl yeah, i know what you mean. On PC you can still rely on DLSS or lower resolution and/or other settings to make things run better. I would definitely play something like Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition at 1080p instead of higher resolutions, for example. Now the Pro can run the game decently, but i can't because Capcom doesn't allow me to change resolution (and this version isn't available on PC)

And yes, in Brazil games and consoles are really expensive. I just hope that PS6 won't be as expensive as the Pro. I prefer console over PC, but if they keep doing this I'll have no choice but to get a PC and that's quite unfortunate, since i own +300 games on my PS4 and PS5, digital and physical and i would love to keep playing these games on PS6.
