"While Sony's Playstation E3 2017 conference did give me some of what I wanted. I was still underwhelmed with the lack of surprises and news for the PS4, and this is the reason why" - Justin Easler
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.
Drinking water proves you don't need a ps5 pro. Get a brita water filter
They could make games that PS4 couldn't handle. They've chosen not to. They did not want to abandon the huge existing PS4 console base. It is a shift in strategy from the past.
"when you are showing your most powerful system (PS5 Pro) using a last generation game (TLOU2) something is very very wrong."
This 100%. Doesn't exactly build confidence in the performance of a machine that can't even be advertised as playing something new. Just older...but better lol.
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
Sony has been milking their fans with unnecessary remastered/remakes all generation. They bet their first party budgets on GaaS games and failed so to save themselves they're gonna milk their base with more of these....
Uhhh. I was going to write something but it's so tedious knowing that everybody will just rip me.
Who cares what internet people think of your thoughts... You think they're opinion is more righteous? Please.
I couldnt tell you how many times in the last number of months I've started writing a comment or reply here, only to hit the X to clear it and move on. There's no engagement or discussion to be had here. Just petty arguments.
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.
"But of course talking about what it actually does won't get as many clicks."
That´s because nobody knows what it "actually does" in real world yet.
We were told that we get better bleacher resolution in Ratchet and Clank, and that The Last of Us 2 Remaster look really, really, good now. This is from the reveal...the absolute weakest reveal ever.
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
With God of War: Ragnarok launching on PC later this month, we decided to take its prequel for a spin on the Steam Deck OLED. Fortunately, the game looks and runs admirably with consistent frametimes and sharp textures.
Summer Game Fest 2024 is right around the corner, and there are exciting leaks and rumors online in addition to confirmed studios.
Borderlands 4 is suppose to show up also but meh I didn't like that last one tbh. I beat it and everything I just didn't care for the characters and it was pretty much the same thing. Franchise needs a complete overhaul.
@Lightning77 I didn’t like the last Borderlands either. 1 was my favorite 2 was good as well but 3 I quit playing early in and I will skip 4 most likely.
I'm hoping that Nintendo shows Metroid Prime 4 in some form, even a 30sec gameplay trailer would be fine. Most likely it will only be on a Nintendo Direct.
Switch 2, most likely; they will use it to showcase the new system's graphical power.
Hmm, it might be both, Switch and Switch 2 just like how Twilight Princess came out on GameCube and Wii.
The remasters likely have nothing to do with the PS5 Pro. Jim Ryan diverted funds from single player focused projects into GAAS which back fired. The remasters can be produced faster than new single player experiences that Jim Ryan stalled.
The VR announcements are the most important because people need to see what Sony's commitment is going.to be.
PS4 has so many unreleased big exclusives at the moment, that it isn't being harmed if no new ones for announced at this show
But they were damned either way.
If they show a lot of VR and not enough normal gaming (like they did) Then people will say the show was lame.
And the flip side of this is if they didn't show a lot of VR then all the pundits would say "they're giving up on it".
So it's the old "rock and a hard place" scenario
"Well op should step back and look at the big picture. I felt disappointed too by the conference. But when I think of all the games coming - there really is no problem. But I can't agree about VR Sony absolutely needs to show big new VR games"
- They could have done both perhaps?
Well, at least it wasn't even near as bad as EA's and Bethesda's shows...
There wasn't THAT much VR shown I thought. Imo it was a good amount while the rest was taken up by some quite lengthy gameplay showings.
