Week ending 17 November 2018. Best selling games of UK.
Glad to see it return. QuakeCon is back once again with the BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Computer) gathering at the Gaylord Texan Resort & Convention Center in Grapevine, Texas, kicking off August 8 and culminating on Sunday, August 11.
Digital Foundry has new details on the PS5 Pro GPU - including its maximum boost clock and new features.
@christopher, yes will do,
Also, Can you just imagine what 1st party games will look like on this beast. The next horizon, or the next ratchet and clank, wolverine etc. it’s going to be insane graphics!!!
People on twitter are saying, this is similar to a downclocked RX7800xt. Which is £499 by its self. So expect this to be pricey.

CPU is going to let it down though frame rate wise. Good GPU upgrade and tiny clock increase on a CPU that's been around since 2019. That's a pretty lop sided console.
That's not how it works on console... on console a lot of what is done on the CPU on PC is offloaded to the GPU on console. And even then it's rare to see games on console even when poorly optimized that are truly CPU bottlenecked.
And the whole argument is pointless because they can always lower resolution or post processing (PP is mostly be offloaded to GPU these days in well optimized games). And that's not even talking about the benefit of upscaling with PSSR and the fact that the PSSR and RT cores are independent from CU's making everything much more streamlined and efficient.
The CPU issue is the same type misinformation that was spread about PS5 like it won't have ML or be able to do FSR and won't have raytracing and all the other B.S. which unironically was all covered and spread by DF.
You are getting downvoted despite telling the facts.
Console kids are pathetic. Ready to waste 600€ on a useless Pro lol.
If you care this much about specs then get a PC.
There is nothing more embarrassing than a console warrior masturbating over specs.
Yeah, cool, but what about some games for a change? Graphical prowess is all fine and dandy, but to use on what? Show me games Sony!
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Hell Divers 2, Rise of the Ronin, Final Fantasy: Rebirth, Stellar Blade.
So far I'd say this year has been stacked, I'm looking forward to Silent Hill 2 which also seems to be right around the corner.
Not a single first party exclusive. It's an embarrassment when taking into consideration the benchmark Sony set.
These guys are such haters, let me give some examples.
They talk about the Starfield 60 fps update while trying to cover their own butts after more or less telling people it couldn't happen because they were fully defending the fact that the game was locked at 30 FPS at release. (Which totally wasn't because the game was rushed out of course..) While going on and on about how revolutionary and innovative Microsoft is for having 40hz modes and unlocked framerate... Uh Miles Morales and Spider-Man Remake... pretty much every single Sony exclusive and remake this gen has had these features.... I guess they just forgot, since they didn't mention PlayStation or their games even once in that segment. But ya, we're all so glad for Microsoft innovation!
Then they talk about the PS5 Pro while avoiding talking about their previous framerate comments which haven't really aged well given how obviously misguided it was. They must have known what they were saying was questionable at best but they said it anyway...
And of course, that didn't keep them from talking down and using negative descriptors over and over when talking about the Pro. A perfect example is when they talk about how PS5 will have hardware VRS which they have constantly talked up in the past, but when they talk about it here it's all negativity, I liked when they showed a single still image of VRS they chose a game which they claimed to be the worst implementation to highlight the feature, got to make it look bad for PlayStation... Which is funny because in this video they do talk positively about VRS and how it will pair well with upscaling, but they don't talk about PSSR of course every upscaling tech but PSSR...
They also talk about NVIDIA bringing DLSS and ray tracing to older games, but have they ever mentioned the fact that PSSR is rumored to have the same feature of being able to be implemented on older games, not that I can remember and definitely not in this video...
The whole thing reminded me of their comparison videos where if they can find even a single segment of the PS5 version that drops under 60 FPS you can bet your lifesavings they are going to show that clip in the first 60 seconds of the video, even if the game holds 60 fps in the other 99% of the game.
Then getting back to framerate they took a question about the Switch 2 where a user asked if it could have 4k 60fps DLSS. Which they say is unlikely unless they lower resolution. Which apparently they didn't consider when they made their PS5 Pro video. After all, why would anyone think that the PS5 Pro would also be able to lower resolution and use things like DRS to maintain stable framerates on top of PSSR. It's not like DRS and resolutions lower than 4k have been used in basically every game for the whole generation... guess it just slipped their minds, honest oversight I'm sure.
And I like how in all the fan comments they responded too, they only took one question from a PlayStation owner which they just made look ridiculous while taking just the most fawning xbox questions for most of the other 99% of the user feedback.
I'm sure the usual people will write off or get angry at my opinion. But lots of people see them as extremely biased in their coverage, it's not just my opinion. There is a reason so few PlayStation owners support them on their Patreon... as the saying goes where there is smoke there is fire. If so many people view them as biased there must be a reason they all think that.
I truly wish we could have someone that does the kind of coverage they do but was actually neutral, heck I would be happy if they just admitted their own bias... though I'm sure the money doesn't allow them too.
I'm not angry about your opinion because your opinion makes it clear (as clear as this unstable word mess is) that:
You do not read or listen to anything you claim to pay attention to. They express concern about Starfield and how it likely won't even hold 60fps because Bethesda emphasizes VRR. They even complain that the 40hz mode comes tied to VRR displays when it shouldn't be required. They complain that Microsoft is introducing a difference between first party S and X modes. They complain about the Series S being left out because based on the X, there's image quality they could sacrifice.
Why the heck would they talk about PSSR when the topic of discussion with Nvidia was about an Nvidia exclusive software tool?
And VRS. They dont like VRS. They don't say it's been done well, that it isn't worth it, even on Xbox that does have hardware support.
This is the longest rant I've seen here, congrats on that and yet not having even one thing from the episode right.
Yeah nobody with a braincell that is functioning is taking DF seriously after they constantly downplay Playstation but praise nintendo to high heavens for having a game that boots up and runs at 15fps
Unfortunately I have to agree with you. I can't watch them any more, they are always snarky towards PlayStation and downplaying everything but if it's Microsoft or Nintendo they are always on defense.
Console fanboys, instead of buying this meaningless 5% stronger PS5 for 600 bucks, go and build a PC.
Yes go and buy a gaming PC that costs at least 3x more to finagle with game settings that are incomplete, DRM issues, inconsistent graphical performance, half assed gaming ports and a fragmented community.
It can run crysis tho.
None of that has been the case in over 10 years. You console children are using nonsensical outdated arguments. One day you will grow up and get a PC. It is inevitable.
You bought a 600€ console, then paid 70€ for 30fps games, and hundreds of dollars to play online, and now you are going to buy a 5% stronger console for another 600€. All of this while all the PS5 games come to PC.
Just because you are scared of completely nonexistent problems which haven't been part of PC gaming in a long time.

That's true, thankfully those problems haven't been part of PC gaming in a long time.
Stop paying for online and 30fps games.
I've been playing on PC since 2020 and I've never encountered those problems. The only broken port in recent memory is Jedi Survivor which was broken on every platform. The game ran at 800p 23fps at times on PS5 performance mode according to Digital Foundry.
I would never go back to PC gaming. PC is for work and desk, sit in front of enough during the day. No point in moving PC to the lounge big TV because I don't work there, and console OS/interfaces are much better suited for controllers/quick play.
Just say that you are lazy and most likely poor, and that you don't care about worse gaming experience on consoles.
Grasping at straws to defend your toy box with nonsensical arguments just makes you look like a fool.

Good I love Spyro
and Pokemon sold more than all of them. Being available for one day no less.
I brought both
Wow!! I never played Spyro I would probably have a fun experience playing it then I did RDR2.
Glad Spyro has had a good first week, also *more than.
