Are they finally going to fix the laggy messaging?
It's so slow sometimes you'd think you were on a dialup or instant messaging had only just been invented.

Kurisu3442d ago

Seems that they could be trying to fix that if it's only the messaging stuff that will be down. Sometimes they send fine but other times it sits at 90% sent for quite a while before it sends.

nucky643442d ago

this is one thing I've never had trouble with. however, I do hate the ps4 keyboard for typing messages - I liked the ps3 version SO much better.

spunnups3442d ago

Off Topic....but I'd love to be able to delete multiple ppl off my friends list at once. Thanks to Destiny's brilliant raiding system, i now have hundreds of friends who I don't even know.

itsjustexuma3442d ago

That would be an amazing feature

ThunderPulse3442d ago

I had to take myself off the 'people you might know" list cause I was getting so many random FR's.

The Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster Proves You Don't Need A PS5 Pro

Why do you need a better PS5 when there aren’t any games that will utilise its power?

You technically don't "need" the ps5, ps4 or the ps3, lol. You don't need any videogame console, it isn't a necessity of life. If you want the best playstation console money can by, that would be the ps5 pro.

While the article is pessimistic and negative, can we agree that typically playstation hardware allowed experiences that no previous generation was able to deliver?

With the PS5 and Pro that's changed and its because its first party are having trouble making exclusives that harnesses the PS5 power. And with so few using the base PS5 to the max, the Pro just seems pointless in a way that no other major Playstation ever has.

Idk, you guys keep defending Sony, first it was covid, then chip shortages, then live service won't hold back single player games. Now here we are with barely any good first party games in sight and the defense continues.

Sony needs to get their head out of their arrogant rear and get back in touch with what gamers want. And it's not live service games and it's not a $700 PS5 pro to see more detailed bleachers in Ratchet and Clank.

And just to rest my case, when you are showing your most powerful system (PS5 Pro) using a last generation game (TLOU2) something is very very wrong.

I don't think you quite got it. This isn't the ps3 gen where the cell was difficult to use and there was a period of time where the console just was not being properly utilized. These consoles are on x86 architecture and are performing at or around the level of comparable PC's. Sure there's SSD stuff more 3rd party devs could do but this isn't going to result in a big graphical leap.

Why does a random remaster do that? There's going to be plenty of games that utilise it over the next 4 years. And plenty already released that will benefit from it. If you don't want one fine, but what's with all the nonsense bashing of it

jambola7h ago

it's like saying "upcoming indie game on steam proves high spec pc's are useless"

Grilla4h ago

Gotta get those clicks. Later they’ll write a “I was wrong..” for more

ClutchManeuvers9h ago

Uhhh. I was going to write something but it's so tedious knowing that everybody will just rip me.

Einhander19728h ago

There are over 8500 games that use dynamic resolution scaling and struggle to hold fps that out of the box will utilize its power.

Games are already lined up for patches and more games that haven't been announced yet will use it.

But of course talking about what it actually does won't get as many clicks.

jambola7h ago

no
it adds to your opinion
it's doesn't prove anything

and even besides that, one game wouldn't prove that anyway
that's silly

The Karate Kid: Street Rumble review - Games Asylum

Games Asylum: "Despite the popularity of The Karate Kid trilogy in the ‘80s, it didn’t gain anywhere near as many gaming adaptations as the likes of Back to the Future, Star Wars, and Indiana Jones. The first film saw a considerably rough entry on the NES, published by the notorious JLN, while the Amiga and Atari ST were blessed with a reasonably well received tie-in for the sequel. It seems that by the time the third film rolled around in 1989, attention had turned to the likes of Rambo, Terminator and Predator, with many early tie-ins for the Mega Drive being more violent and gung ho. It probably didn’t help that Part III was panned by movie goers either."

At least they didn't paywall New Game Plus again, lol.

-Foxtrot12h ago

The only Steelbook for the game is locked behind the PC version which most likely is just a steam code...

Riiiiiiight,,,

Einhander197210h ago

Ever since they put the series on xbox it's been nothing but a clown show.

It's sad to see these developers who used to brag and have pride that they made games about Yakuza that actual Yakuza members would want to play now just make crap for American kids...

I am so over it...
