This is just baiting. Dont even bother ?

The world in GoW og was sparse. This looks way busier based on the trailer. Textures look crisper too. I personally would be sold if the story and gameplay are good and they throw in haptics for the Leviathan ?

Liked the showcase. Almost everything announced is 6+ months away though. Thats a bummer. Excited for KOTOR remake, Wolverine and Spidey 2. And GoW (goes without saying). Does Uncharted really need a remake for PS5 ? Wonder if we will get the 10$ upgrade though. Simple 60fps patch would have sufficed, but based on the trailer, the lightning does look much better.

Agree. 8k is not going to be a reality any time soon. 8k 30 in itself not going to be easy. Cos 4k - 8k transition doubles pixels on both axis. Essentially the GPU should be able to push 4 times the pixels than it currently does. There's no freaking way that a 700$ system is going to be able do that in the next 1-2 years. If you have a system that can do 4k 120Hz, then 8k 30Hz would theoretically be in the realm of possibility at least.

Happens every week with EGS "purchases"

Good number of games are available. You do realize that game preservation is also a responsibility of the publisher/developer and not just the platform ownwer? MS is taking steps for games even publishers abandoned. Only so much can be done. If only Sony did something similar. I would love to play some classics like Chrono Cross, MGS1, Burnout on my PS5. The best way to play MGS - HD, RDR1 is via Xbox back compat. Nothing similar exists on Playstation and that's a fact. Both suck when compared to PCs. But with PCs everything is digital ? What about that?

Consoles suck at game preservation - MS is better in the aspect that they at least support playing the games released for older generations despite all the caveats you have mentioned. Sony can easily make PSP, Vita games playable on the PS5 or even on PS4. Did it happen? Nope. Heck it cant even play PS2 or PS1 games. Why even fight this war unnecesaarily? If you want game preservation, get a PC. Not a console.

Never played the og on the PS3. Loved Second Son on PS4. I ll take anything Infanous

I thought we were talking about sensible companies/games and not cashgrabs. By that logic, we should not complain about micro-transactions ever cos we never voiced our concerns when it became mainstream in mobile gaming. Seriously? What's the audience for a game like BF2042 in IVG vs something like HZ-FW? Assumptions

You are going to read more news about PS here because this is primarily a Playstation centric forum. Nintendo, Xbox and PC definitely have a smaller presence when compared to Sony. By that logic, the outrage for Sony stuff would be more simply because more people care about it. Heck, I own both XSX and PS5, but you won't see me complain about Live or PS Plus price hike, cos I simply don't care about online. This was concerning prices of games and it's a lot more universal. Combined with both the reasons I've given, why is it hard to believe that there's a simpler explanation for people voicing out against Sony rather than selective outrage?

Why do you think it's selective? There was outcry when MS decided to hike it's XBL prices. Every time someone brings up something shitty Sony did, the response to it is NOT MS did something similar. The same holds true for Xbox fans as well.

Pretty much this. Blind fanboyism defending such shitty moves would have empowered the corporate assholes who come up with such strategies.

No. Works on bluetooth. But works better with receiver.

I am not asking for free upgrades. Just for Sony to stick to what they said earlier. At least freaking charge 10$ for upgrading the PS4 version to PS5. I still hate the fact that I should buy the DLC for GoT if I want the full PS5 experience with haptics. Let alone free upgrade, give the PS4 players an easy way to upgrade to PS5 version even if you aren't giving it for free.

Press is reporting because Sony is setting a bad precedent and normalizing this behavior. People like me don't bother speaking out when 2K or EA does this because I really don't care about most of their games. They are able to get away with it because they have annualized IPs that will be sold in the millions and these folks will shell out money no matter what. Sony has been "for the players" or rather used to be. And I care about the games they release and hence will have something to say when they make a sh*t move like this. This is normal human behavior. When something affects the things you love/enjoy, you start raising your voice. Were you really bothered about Corona when it only affected China? I am assuming no. Did you lose your sh*t when it started showing up in India? Heck yeah. I hope this is easy to understand.

Come on man. Dualsense is good, but are you seriosuly comparing a modular, customizable controller with something shipped with a console by default? By that logic dualshock paddles shouldnt exist. So better options shouldn't exist anywhere? Have you seriously used the XSX/X1 controller? Its built like a tank and you rarely see anyone who owns it actually complain about it.

I agree with your point about MS being greedy with not shipping rechargeables. 200$ Elite controllers is an option and no one is forcing anyone to buy it. Why even bring that up? It has it's own set of fans like with any hobby.

I meant non VR as it is still niche. Instead of doing Knack, they should have done something with Astrobot. Hella lot more charming.

All the easter eggs were adorable! I only wish they had a story going along. Astrobot deserves dedicated games and should be treated as an IP.

Or just not be a greedy f**k and include rechargeable AA ?

Pretty much. You can also consider the 8bitdo SN30 pro if you want something cheaper

I legit didnt know you could update controllers wirelessly until a few days back

My point is that if he is doing a technical analysis, specs are essentail to establish the baseline. If you tell me that PS5 puches above weight for its specs, I'd definitely agree with you. PS5 blows PCs away with value prop. Has performed amazingly well against a better specced XSX. These are known facts. That being said, if someone is doing an objective comparison, then how can I trust the reviewer if he only shares details when you ask him? I find DF credible mainly because they put a lot of data out there. If you think they are bullshitting, its easy to find out. For all the dump that PS5 fanboys take on DF, they have covered both sides rather extensively. From what I know NXgamer barely does Xbox related stuff. So obvious tendency to think he is biased.

May not be a random fanboy. But IGN is crappy with tech reviews and these comparisons. Dont know who is doing whom a favor here.

What kind of lead tech analyst would make a comparison between a PC and a console without comparable parts? And not even publish the specs of the rig?
