Unfortunately ps5 isn't seling like hotcakes right now and sony is the one to blame. So many crossovers with ps4 and remakes-remasters, porting to PC better versions of their exclusives, the list goes on. Developers will shift to multiplatform and pc cause their consoles sales are mediocre at best. All the above raise questions about consoles and playstation as a hardware brand.
What saddens me is that lately all we talk and comment about is the PC space. A platform I couldn't care less. Year after year ps5 seems like a byproduct and the ground work for the pc porting frenzy.
@Fatewalker Thanks for the heads up.It was an nice read,also showing that the base consoles never reached their potential, yet they are selling us pro versions again.
It's kinda sad that consoles follow the PC way of doing things..More horsepower with less polished games taking advantage of it..It seems that everything happens to pass the cost of developing to the consumers. Sooner or later they will say that we need an rtx4090 to run tetris.
Ps5 is more than capable to do 40fps with vrr which is a sweet spot..the tech is there but doing the actual work seems out of question for 3rd party developers.
Sure thing is we don't need a ps5 pro..they barely touched the original hardware..Maybe, just maybe if you want to recoup costs you need to work the damn thing before you develop something new.
Europe is in shambles ..The cost of life is unbearable..Gaming is becoming less and less of a priority for most people. Very few games will stick and turn healthy profits.
@ChrisDeku Yeah so much for pc superiority and free online play..no thank you i've been the pc way and it was full of cheaters and hackers..PSN any day.
@TheIdleCritic I think the game tries really hard to get noticed and just be weird with no obvious reason. I would say that it hit's bollywood movie levels.
@Loamy I have an LG BX oled..it probably worth it's money especially in dolby vision movie modes and gaming is ultra responsive with accurate colors..however motion handling isn't the best..(maybe Sony is better?). 40 fps with VRR is a great sweet spot for me with the 120hz panel.

All these corpos don't care about gaming as a form of art and entertainment but only as a cash cow and a moneytree.

Re: Sea of Thieves Reportedly a 'Key Test' for More Xbox Games on PS5

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
@dschons some times motion blur can also help but not much.
Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
As an oled tv owner 30fps games are very hard to enjoy..40 fps is a sweet spot though if i can't get 60.

Re: Hands On: Dragon's Dogma 2 Update Improves Frame Rate on PS5 at the Cost of Ray Tracing
@OldGamer999 I think it can't be done with ps5 due to limitations of the hdmi bandwidth..Don't know for sure...
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC? Tell Capcom You Want Another Dark Arisen in New Survey
@Frmknst You clearly have no clue. Oled tvs are unbearable with low frame rates.I refuse to play anything at 30fps with my lg oled.
Re: Japan Sales Charts: Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin Can't Beat Princess Peach

Re: PS5 Pro's Proprietary DLSS-Esque Upscaler Sounds Superb
@Ainu20 DLSS is not the solution for everything..the image quality takes a serious hit..
Re: PS5 Pro's Proprietary DLSS-Esque Upscaler Sounds Superb
Correct me if i'm wrong but upsampling tech is already supported by the base ps5..
Re: Exclusivity Is the Achilles' Heel of Huge Blockbusters, Says Former PlayStation Exec
So what's the point in developing new and exciting hardware? Where is competition? All they want is to eliminate the risk. Less work for more money.
Re: Dragon's Dogma 2 Uncapped Frame Rate Put to the Test on PS5, Preview Build Averages 31fps
@Jay767 Amen. It's their way to make lazy games and cut costs passing the cost of development to players who always need to buy new hardware.
Re: Reaction: The Problem with PlayStation Right Now
@ZhuckelDror 4k60 with upsampling tech like fsr2.0 whould be really easy, but i guess they need to sell us new hardware again no matter what.

Re: Poll: What Do You Think of PSVR2, One Year Later?
It should be cheaper around 400euros..Right now it's a tough sell.They could also try new bundles with aggressive pricing.

Ultimate cringe-fest..not my cup of tea for sure..the original was the fastest game i dropped ever.

Re: Assassin's Creed Nexus VR Looks Incredible, But It's Not Confirmed for PSVR2 Yet
Boy, ps vr2 is becoming a tough sell. It's time for sony to burn some money towards it or it will flop.

Re: The Last of Us Multiplayer's Microtransactions Man Has Left Naughty Dog
