@AhmadSumadi Mobile phones are also prone to theft,total destruction or loss. Consoles on the other hand sit at home kinda safe. I sold my ps4 after 7 years of nonstop use nearly in mint condition. My ps5 looks even better after 5 years.
Three Graphic Settings: PS5 players can cycle through Fidelity Mode (Native 4K with Ray Tracing at 30 FPS), Performance Mode (Upscaled 4K at 60 FPS), and Performance RT Mode (Dynamic resolution with targeted 60 FPS and Ray Tracing). Interesting.
Xbox is in a really bad state cause it's almost impossible to find any retail space for their games and consoles. Even ps4 games are still in stores but no xbox.
I also have a ps4 copy and never bothered to use the old upgrade system. It was around a tenner. I might replay the main story now cause online mode is a weird mess.
Non interested without the PVP portion that was great. They included it for Gears reloaded, however i don't know if it has a healthy amount of players online.
In other news sony managed to trash the Windows remote play app as well. Version 9 is unusable for a long time. It's a shame cause there is a PC in every household and it was a neat feature. I guess they will happily sell you the ps remote handheld instead.
"but I’m not sure consumers have the time, energy, or even enthusiasm to support all of this software" . Money is also a problem. Spending for games has a lower ceiling nowdays.
Making exclusives is the right call for microsoft but they don't seem prepared to loose a lot of money. It gets dedication and a clear message to stir the ship right.
@GirlVersusGame I couldn't agree more. I got my platinum trophy during pandemic lockdowns. Time well spent. I'm thinking to do the same thing with my PS5 copy too.
I see some truth in that. Big tech companies will happily sell you subscription or renting fees for everything. Every year is getting harder and harder to own high end tech.
Sony should consider dropping ps+ paywall for live service games and get on par with PC in that matter. PS+ is becoming a serious setback for this kind of games.
As all manufacturing is going to Asia so is video game development. It was inevitable. The westerns started a lot of time bombs lately to feed the ultra rich again again.
Microsoft isn't good with hardware. They should stick to software. They managed to even botch mice and keyboards, from top manufacturer to collecting scraps.

Re: Price Hiked PS5 Endures Sony's Worst May in Over 25 Years

Re: Sony May Mitigate Hardware Pricing Nightmare by Simply Selling Fewer PS5s
Or maybe they could tone down investor expectations. I know a crazy thing to say..

Re: PS5 Controller's Best Features Are Finally Working Over Bluetooth on PC
@PlaysGames Do not buy new ones have the old repaired. It's an easy fix for mobile phone repair techs.
Re: PS5 Controller's Best Features Are Finally Working Over Bluetooth on PC
@Slayer25c It was totally servicable for a wife or a kid but they ruined it for that scumbag tactic you mentioned.

Re: PS5 Controller's Best Features Are Finally Working Over Bluetooth on PC
@Dalamar I'll give it a try. Thank you. Still makes mad that the official app is so damn bugged.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced in Sony's State of Play Livestream for June 2026?
No fairgames at least.
Re: Reaction: I'm Sad It's Over, But Destiny's End Was Overdue
Destiny 1 remaster would sell really well. Not as a live service game but one and done pvp/pve shooter like COD.
Re: For England, James! 007 First Light's PS5 Launch Trailer Is Here to Hype You Up
Goldeye 64 remaster or nothing. Couch co-op a bonus.
Re: Saros PS5 Sales Estimates at 300k, Selling Slower Than Returnal on a Bigger Install Base
Cost of living crisis is real. Without insane hype or marketing propably most games will be easily ignored.

Marathon will be ps+ material very soon.

@Reeneman Some friend of mine that refuses to pay a single dime to have some quality time on his ps4.
Re: Marathon Has 'Years' of Story Planned Out, Says Bungie, and Players Will 'Help Shape It'
Worst case senario they need to merge the game with Destiny 3 to keep afloat.
Re: Xbox Is Flip-Flopping on PS5 Again, and It's Truly Getting Tiring
Most American tech companies are out of touch lately. They think they shape the world with their decisions believing they have papal infallibility.
Re: Starfield (PS5) - Better Than Ever, But Still No Space Skyrim
Might start No mans sky as a space alternative.
Re: 'Marathon Is Gonna Be Game of the Year': Actor Ben Starr Jokes It'll Beat GTA 6 Due to Jennifer English
In about 6 months the game will be ps+ material.

At least in Greece you can avoid 24% tax if you buy like a business not an individual.

Re: Major Crimson Desert Patch Out Now on PS5, Makes Countless Gameplay Improvements
Anyone see image improvements for the base PS5? I always do balanced mode with VRR as my tv supports it.
Re: Major Crimson Desert Patch Out Now on PS5, Makes Countless Gameplay Improvements
Patience is golden nowdays...
Re: PS5 Pricing Strategy Gives Flexibility for Deals if 'Things Surprisingly Get Better'
Very happy using my 5 year old phone and my og ps5. Those tech companies won't see any money from me any time soon.
Re: Sony Announces Gigantic PS5 Price Increases, Effective from April 2026
I would recommend people to try some board games. Like settlers of Catan. You can have a lot of fun, is way cheaper and a great way to socialise.

Re: Crimson Desert Looks 'Rough' on Base PS5, Here's 25 Minutes of Direct Capture Footage
@Littlebigmatador The media is mostly controlled by Americans that are fed up by Eastern studios taking the gaming spotlight nonstop the latest years.
Re: 'A Great Showcase for PSSR 2': PS5 Pro's New Upscaler Continues to Get Rave Reviews
@Reeneman I see no conspiracy just AMD's incompetence to improve. I guess they are chasing the AI bubble as well.
Re: 'A Great Showcase for PSSR 2': PS5 Pro's New Upscaler Continues to Get Rave Reviews
My question is why the base ps5 is left behind. It supports AMD's upscaling tech that nonone tries to improve.

Re: Sony Apparently Pulls the Plug on PC Ports of Saros, Ghost of Yotei
Kudos to Sony. They don't need to bring any value to valve, steam, microsoft or any American company.
Re: Video: Silence as PSVR2 Turns Three Years Old - Is Sony's PS5 Headset Dead?
I dare to say that VR for gaming in general isn't cool enough.

@Boxmonkey That is also true! They were just the first to capitalize from scam tactics in the software department.
