The PlayStation 3 took a big hit in its start with various obstacles, bad marketing, and non-tactful decision-making in the birth of the product, but during its maturity stage, Sony bounced back and started to learn from its mistakes. Now that the PlayStation 4 received such great reception, Sony should still recognize they are not out of the trenches and could lose momentum due to missed opportunities at launch
Featuring four International Live Events and six rounds of online qualifiers.
The prelude for the anticipated 2024 Gran Turismo World Series will be getting underway later this month, with Polyphony Digital announcing the third season of the interim Exhibition Series.
Digital Foundry : Whether it's via FPS Boost or bespoke software upgrades, backwards compatibility on the current-gen consoles delivered an unexpected delight - the ability to liberate older console games from their 30fps limits, running them at 60 frames per second or even higher. FPS Boost did the business for Xbox Series consoles on an impressive range of titles, but there was always the sense that PS5 could do more. It's a hunch that checks out as a range of frame-rate unlocks are available for PS5, covering many must-have games - the major caveat being that only exploitable consoles running on older firmwares are invited to the party.
you love to see new life being breathed into older titles but damn the process to get there. It should be automatic that these work for everyone... not just those who exploit their systems. Really wish Sony and MS would keep this program going officially.
Damn this sucks. I want this shit so bad, but I’m not jailbreaking my console. And frankly I shouldn’t have to. I’m not a tech person, but is it really that hard for developers to unlock the framerate? Or would that have to be a large patch?
Yep, this sucks having to require a jailbreak for something that should be standard in our industry by now. I learned my lesson when PS4 was jailbroken and I didn't keep a console on low firmware for years, but now I'm holding onto two low firmware PS5s specifically because there are features I'll be able to do that you can't do on official firmware, so this will pay off for me soon enough.
Out of the 2 I felt Sony had the better Launch event.
I think the biggest miss is lost sales rather than games. Literally, every gamer I know is just waiting to buy a ps4 but there is no stock. If there was 5-6 million in stock at launch, I'd assure they'd be sold out by now. I don't think even Sony expected this much demand
