Very nice, but if the machine was readily available in the UK, and affordable would be a start. Until then these modules mean nothing to me. Certainly not paying £570 which I seen on one site yesterday.

Especially when a raspberry pi is so damn easy.

I still can't trust this company. I wonder how many people who originally supported this thing have their units. New orders now won't ship until sometime in the first half of 2022. That's pretty darn vague at this point and who knows if it will even ship by then.

Irishrocket691602d ago

I preordered in November 2018, just got the base unit a month ago (no modules yet, as they are on a ship in the ocean). It does all it says, and I am very optimistic for its future. As a collector of physical media, I like the ease of use, and knowing it’s my game I’m playing.

Neonridr1602d ago

that's great to hear. I think for me, since I already have a couple of the Analogue FPGA systems (NES, SNES, Genesis) spending this much for emulation (since I don't have a huge collection of physical media) is a little bit beyond what I would want to do.

Well they are doing what they can to revive the brand. They have a lot of work to do.

yep agree 100% ... and some more. The hype machine is warming up and the performance numbers sheet will be filled in no time to guarantee that the winner on paper is revealed way before the launch day ... BUT as we all know only 1st party games and brand idenity will declare the real winner. Only problem is the price tag needed to get into next gen ...

Just what the world needs: another poorly-selling console.

Next gen will be a massive failure for Microsoft and Sony, you could say it's already started. Game sales at an all-time low and the high cost of consoles and controllers, the PlayStation 5 Pro is the first indication on the pricing of next gen consoles and that's been a sales flop for Sony. Some people will say that people are paying eye watering prices for PCs, but that's an entirely different market, what I call OCD gaming. As I mentioned in another post, the PlayStation 5 Pro here sells for just under £800, which is just over $1000, games can top £75 ($100), including Switch 2 games. Some of us would like to see a single format, but that'll never happen. Microsoft and Sony would laugh at the idea of stepping off the gas pedal with the tech and do what Nintendo has done with the Switch 2. Three hybrid consoles fighting against each other, basically taking current tech and adding a few bells and whistles. Who's up for a PlayStation 6 for $999 and $99 games? Let me know in the comments.

The simple solution is dont buy what you cant afford. You dont have to move on just because the companies do. If people want better hardware and better games theyre gonna be more expensive. People need to be content with what they have.

You know a lot of those sales are dads and moms buying for their kids and teens. Consoles have alway been a reasonable price to a degree. But you start heading far north of $500, I don’t see as many parents buying for their kids or teens……will it still sell? Yes but will it sell a hundred million or more…..that’s the real question. Hopefully ram prices drop.

derek3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

@Agent75 There is no need to lie to make your point. The ps5pro is selling as a percentage about as well as the ps4pro. The recent pssr2 update has actually improved its value. Your attempt to group the ps5 a console (that is about to cross 100 million sold and is by far Sony's most profitable generation) with the abject failure that is xbox is laughably stupid. Truth is Sony shouldn't even consider launching another console until 2029 at the earliest.

StoneTitan3d ago

Everyone except you knows the pro is a profit machine that is why its expensive.
Ps6 will not be even close to it in price

rlow13d ago

What happens if ram prices remain high? Do you think Sony or MS would eat those costs? Depends on how much they would have to absorb.

Its neat especially since not everyone might have two friends playing it. Makes it more personal to go at in duos.

It's 2026 and basic match making features in MP games are still being drip fed to an audience that still gets excited over said basic feature being implemented.

Veteran artist behind Mass Effect, Halo, and Overwatch 2 weighs in on Nvidia DLSS 5

Darryl Linington from Notebookchect.net writes, "The backlash around Nvidia’s AI push and DLSS 5 has opened a broader question in game development. Beyond performance and image quality, veteran artists are now weighing what AI-driven rendering means for authorship and visual control. If a system can add or reinterpret detail after the fact, the issue is no longer just technical. It becomes a question of how much of the final image still belongs to the people who built it."
