@Dezzy70 I have a ps5 since august..Me too was forced to buy a bundle with an extra controller, a charging station and a game of my choice..no big deal, i would buy them anyway..(don't sleep on the charging station,the thing is super easy to use and very practical)
@Integrity just dance makes sense cause all the wannabe twitch ladies buy this before they move to onlyfans...halo is nothing special either so why would people buy it instead of ''renting'' it?
I currently play It takes two co-op with my ps5 and i can tell you that ps4 pro couldn't handle this. The image, textures and lighting are sublime with zero pop-ups and no loading times and all that running with local co-op at 60 frames.
A lot of folks claim they don't need a ps5 but if you can get one you won't regret it...the dualsense is miles better with almost double the battery life..the console is dead silent..60fps is the norm with almost instant load times..graphics are getting better with every new release, this takes time..
@Ken_Kaniff Don't judge from youtube trailers mate..even the original HZD is looking great running at 60fps on ps5..we can expect a much improved game with HFW with better resolution, more foliage better shadows etc with a stable 60fps..Sometimes can look a bit cartoony but that's their artstyle..I bet will look glorious with an oled tv.
@Dr_ENT Who cares if the customer is happy with a wallet friendly product..at the end of the day a lot of people bought ps5 because they were very happy with ps4..sony is doing their best to upset their fanbase..I expect christmas to be another lost month to competition.
@Dr_ENT nah i won't do it..ps5 is becoming an expensive sport and competition is better than ever..sony managed to loose a lot of steam and hype and black friday numbers are worrying.
@Medic_Alert The news are that xbox is outselling ps5 in the USA and are very close in Japan..The latest months were disappointing in Sony's headquarters. Christmas is coming with no big releases.
I believe the console design is futuristic..I recently watched a PS2 OG unboxing and the over the top design is still bold and classic..I always prefer the OG versions of any console.Over-engineered and dead silent except the blu-ray drive..
I currently play the game and the AI bugs are very annoying..in yamantau enemies refuse to die with any gun except the one with the steel balls..tried to replay the level with no luck..i guess i need to start over the entire game.
@BrintaPap Do you remember how the ps5 was advertised? about console generations and exclusive games? they literally took everything back of what they promised.
The bad thing is that the system will have a weak christmas holiday...still a lot first party games to buy than any rival but the public perception could be brutal.I think sony will have extra stock at december to battle this.
@mucc still dominated by switch software sales..and that wasn't happening in the ps4 era..i guess the pandemic changed all plans for ps5 with cross-gen and pc ports..it's easy to spot the panic sony had.
@KayOL77 ps5 software rarely makes the charts...it seems that people are ok clearing their backlog or enjoy their ps+ collection like me and don't pay 80euros for first party titles so often.
I guess the terrible attach rates of ps5 software really accelerated PC ports..I will never pay premium again or buy day one any exclusive..I will explore all my options and choose the cheapest way long-term.
ps+ update (hope it's good), a firmwate update(VRR) and 3-4 games releasing until christmas..xbox has grabbed a lot of attention with forza and halo this week, sony needs to have some good news.
@IonMagi I don't care if they choose to port their flagship games to PC but don't make your loyal fans that happily paid premium so many years look like second class citizens..We were advertised ray tracing,VRR and next gen games..maybe start delivering Jim..
I think the big bet for sony is now to keep the promise for next-gen experiences..I will anxiously wait for the new HZD and GOD to see if they deliver in their cross-gen state or will be held back. Right now the ps5 seems like a ps4 pro 2.0.
@twitchtvpat paying more for a gaming pc is obvious but there is no online multiplayer paywall and also a PC can do some actual work too and make you money. Don't get me wrong i do prefer the console format any day but sony is walking a thin line to alienate their hardware efforts.
Now imagine if gpu's sold at MSRP and not to scalpers how bad the ps5 would look. RTX3070 with 499$..would you choose a ps5 knowing that sooner or later there would be no difference in the game library with a PC?

Re: PlayStation Database Has God of War Ragnarok Set for September 2022 Release Date
2022 will be huge for ps5 but i can't see the console readily available for the next year and it's a shame cause they can't produce ps4's either.

Re: Guerrilla Shares PS4 Screenshots of Horizon Forbidden West
@middyone Not only that but i managed to sell my aging ps4 around 180 euros making the ps5 a way better deal.
Re: Guerrilla Shares PS4 Screenshots of Horizon Forbidden West
Game changing to me is ghost of tsushima and returnal with zero loading times in ps5..not 5 or 10 sec just 0.

Re: Scapes Will Return in Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, PS4
@iamtylerdurden1 I 'll buy the game day one as well but I'm afraid that cross-gen will held it back.
Re: Scapes Will Return in Gran Turismo 7 on PS5, PS4
I have a feeling that GT7 will be very very similar to GTsport..except the car upgrade options..

Re: PS4 Sales Have Dropped Off Enormously Since PS5's Release
@Voltan yeah and in general it was a well built console...mine is 7 years old and i'm gonna sell it tomorrow..works like a charm.
Re: Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning - Rough Remaster Is Still Fun to Play
60fps on ps5? I'm becoming spoiled with frame rates.
Re: Sony Establishes PlayStation PC Label to Spearhead Porting Push
@Voltan Yes but they also reworked the gfx and controls something they didn't bother doing for ps5 except for a performance patch..

Re: Rumour: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Is Making the Jump to PC

https://www.vgchartz.com/article/451254/ps5-ships-134-million-units-as-of-september-30-ps4-ships-1166-million/
ps5 is 400.000 units behind ps4..still great with the chip shortage but...
Re: Rumour: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Is Making the Jump to PC
@mucc however ps5 is selling slightly worse than ps4 and maybe there are countermeasures in place.
