Re: Soapbox: December PlayStation Plus May Be Disappointing, But You Should Still Play Stories

wittypixel

"Disappointing, But.." maybe leave that out the title? lol

the games are dissapointing for different reasons. December not only should have been a month with great games but extra customer appreciation perks. Idk maybe $10 free or like a free theme. something more.

Currently PSN users are paying more and getting the same PSN experience. Sounds like a win for sony and just another reason it sucks to be a PSN user.

Re: Guide: The Best 4K UHD HDR TVs for PS4 Pro in 2016

@get2sammyb Having used 2 entry level 4K Smart TV's. Samsung KU6290 and KU6300 priced at $329 and $400. I can say that Last of Us HDR looked really good on both of them and Gaming mode bring input lag to the 10-20ms range.

Also pretty decent picture and very nice 4K via YouTube.

Re: Feature: Should You Buy the PS4 Pro?

@get2sammyb maybe this can be a separate article but how about talking about extended warranty options?

Since myself and others are having launch PS4 issues, I think that could be good information to know before buying a PS4 Pro.

@Falkn don't bother with the thermal paste, 2 things...

1. I swapped my thermal paste for artic silver, made a difference initially but got loud again 1-2 months later.

2. inspecting my ps4 board before adding artic silver... I noticed it had corrosion, very used up thermal pads, and thermal paste placed sloppily everywhere.

TLDR: owned 2 ps4's and both had heating/fan issues.

Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS4 Pro?

"How visuals will be improved on 1080p televisions" because Mark cerny was quoted saying the PS4 Pro will disable half the GPU hardware to remain compatible with old titles.

1. So how will all games benefit with the pro?

2. The games that have scalable options what will they look like? like a resolution options, similar to last of of Us remastered or like PC games with video settings?

Re: The New PS4 Controller Offers More Than Just Another Lightbar

@walravenweekly I understanad wireless intereference and all and I know the lag is real.

It is a gimmick because the old controller is capable of functioning the same over USB, so it's kinda sucky to see them marketing it as a new feature. I know the old one works because it works just find on USB via PC and it works on the PS3! lol

Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying a PS4 Pro?

wittypixel

the Pro really seems to be good for those who need a reason to upgrade from previous Gen not current owners.

Especially since I noticed that PS4 Pro 4K game seem mostly like a resolution upgrade, the textures still look pretty poor in most of the games I've seen.

Re: This Is the Best PS4 Pro Sales Pitch You'll See Today

@NoCode23 "This interview looks scripted like an infomercial"

Have to agree with that and I think the title is a big reach. Today I can finally say I'm comfortable with the idea of mid cycle refresh but I think the PS4 Pro (the name matches the look of it) should have been way stronger!

I am predicting the same issue with the launch PS4. Game struggled to push 1080p.. games will struggle to hit 4K, native.

Re: Rumour: PS4 Slim Has an Overheating Problem? We Wouldn't Worry Just Yet

wittypixel

@Cron_13 I don't know about the slim but I've had issues with both PS3 & PS4, hardware failure on both consoles. Buying a PS3 slim seemed to fix mine but I don't feel buying a new console should be the answer.

I think extended warranties should be in order. No reason a gaming console should only be guaranteed/backed by manufacturer to work for 1 year.
