GB: "In this feature, we will be taking a look at 15 of the best-looking games that you can experience on Sony's current-gen machine."
As more and more games go digital-only, Black Myth: Wukong's physical publisher says it performed so well that it saved some businesses.
So fix the performance on PS5/Pro. With up all that ghosting and dithering, improve the performance!
The industry wants to push the narrative that physical is on its way out and gamers prefer digital. Fact is that many gamers simply have less and less options to buy physical, so they’re stuck with either digital, or nothing.
Many gamers still prefer physical, especially for SP games. Games without ‘always online’ or other kinds of anti-consumer DRM.
I hope they’ll release a complete edition (physical) for Wukong once the announced DLC comes out.
I totally get it, but dont know if i really matters as most games now do not hold the actual game, or at least a very early version without day one patches.
They are often just a licence to download the actual game. Unfortunately it is not like in the old days, if you just had the game you can play the game no matter what.
That goes for some games but there are still plenty for which this isn't the case: https://www.doesitplay.org/
yeh i hate it too, if they'd give us actual numbers on how much it costs to print themz id be more inclined to beliebe it, but otherwise, nah no way.
I try to buy physical PS5 games when possible. Physical add an extra cost to the developers. However, the fact that digital cost the same as a physical version of the game makes no sense to me. The only games i will buy digital are Nintendo Switch games, those cartridges are small and i lost/misplaced a few already.
Every game that sells well "saves businesses" nowadays - based on how many studios suffer layoffs due to a game not skyrocketing to success, that is.
I waited for the physical release to purchase this. If it didn’t get a physical release I had already made up my mind that I was fine skipping it.
I know I am fighting a losing battle because an all digital future is inevitable, but I only purchase physical and will continue doing so.
You will be surprised. Games are getting bigger in size and we all know that console dont provide you with that much hard drive space. I know you can just delete the game from your harddrive to save space and re-install whenever, but me having a physical insure that i can install anytime i want, even if they they take the game off their digital stores.
Exactly. I do the same. Only digital games I have are from ps+, and I don't consider those owned. As soon as I don't renew,those games are inaccessible.
Bloober Team’s tackling of Silent Hill 2 is a gigantic success.
After a magnificent 20-year tenure with Sony Interactive Entertainment, Phil Rosenberg, SVP of Global Partner Development and Relations, recently announced that he is bidding adieu at the end of 2025. Phil has been a stalwart and integral part of growing the PlayStation brand and, along with this team, has worked tirelessly over the years to ensure all gamers enjoy a vibrant experience on a variety of PlayStation products.
It's pure speculation on behalf of the author of this opinion piece and it hold no weight at all.
@lukasmain
Im curious how you can make that comment when he specifically mentions Blackmyth? No weight at all? Either...
A. You can't read
B. You're letting blind loyalty take point
C. You just didn't read it
D. You're trolling
He never suggested a special exclusivity deal. Far from it. The author is just speculating.
@Main I quoted Rosenberg at the bottom he said it himself on the interview that him and guys go out and find hidden gems. This interview wouldn't mean much but Black Myth was supposed to release simultaneously along with the Xbox version unfortunately, it didn't. Got taken off and GS said it was the S. MS said there was a deal in place. If he's going out and finding niche or "hidden gems" BMW should of released only on PS5 since its considered a hidden gem that could only be played on PS console just like the rest of the other games he mentioned. The game was announced awhile ago as a multiplat. The S of late has been holding its own with third party and 1st party games. It's also clear that the S did have issues for awhile also and maybe GS really can't optimize for the console. I'm just exploring every possibility.
Hmm, I dunno at the end of the day. The S has been performing well optimization wise lately. I dunno it's hard to tell anymore what's, what.
There is no way in high hell Sony would pay money for this, something so successful and not advertise it as an exclusive console game. There's just no way, they've done it for everything else, why would they not do it for this.
It's people who can't let a story go, there's no deal, they just probably supported a new Chinese studio with their China Hero Project and give them tools to help develop on their console. If Microsoft came along and offered them the same tools early on for their console I'm sure Sony wouldn't bat an eyelid.
Sony took a chance on a new studio early on and they benefitted from it, that's their reward.

Fair dos, Silent Hill 2 legit took my breath away from a visuals perspective. Been a while since that's happened, tbh.
Nice list of games.
