Modding has come to quite a few games on console, though I admit it's not the same level.

I mean if your game is tied to a storefront like Steam you have the exact same "agency" over the games, and I seem to remember a lot of tears and boycotts of Epic Store and things like Ubisoft store and EA Play, but of course now you want your games to be spread across a dozen DRM installers instead of one centralized store just to downplay PlayStation.

I have been building gaming PC's since the early 90's and have built every PC that I have owned. I still prefer playing on dedicated hardware, even more recently.

Standard tier is going to end up like "Games with Mold" as they make it such low value that it's Ultimate or nothing. The value proposition of gamepass outside of of the day one is very low and the value of the "other games" has decreased significantly over the past few years.

And even Ultimate seems like a bad deal, if Microsoft adds 3 games a year at $20 a month you're paying $80 per game even if you don't want the game.

Aren't worth the price for you.

Many people want to play their games in 4k, not 1080-1440p and with stable framerates.

The price was higher than I hoped but there is still a lot on offer. And if you want to trade in or sell your current console you'll get a better value now than later.

These are fake, that GPU is not the same performance, even if they want to act like it is. And they are using much slower memory.

PS5's GPU is using RDNA 4 tech that AMD hasn't even released themselves yet.

You don't have to wait for a next batch of games, it will already improve the games you have. Games you already own will have the highest possible resolution and the most stable framerates on the Pro.

yeahokwhatever

Upscaling these days can produce an indistinguishable image to native with much higher framerates. That's why nearly every developer is using upscaling for their games.

It is better than native.

Darth there are thousands of PS5 games that use DRS and FSR. And even in the case of PS4 games the PS5 Pro still will have a higher resolution than the base PS5 in any case where the game isn't holding 4k which is many.

And the fact of the matter is the PS4 didn't even start having DRS until the back half of the generation and FSR didn't even exist for PS4 games so the majority of those games are PS5 games.

PS5 Pro will have the highest resol...

According to the footage, this game uses a 1080p-1600p dynamic resolution range with a mix of medium and high settings and runs between 45 and 60 FPS on the base model. The same game, on PlayStation 5 Pro, uses a higher dynamic resolution range, 1600p-2160p, with no PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution, maximum settings, and runs at locked 60 frames per second without any drop.

I would get one if they made a 32" version.

The PS5 Pro will have the highest resolution and most stable framerate on over 8500 games currently made with dynamic resolution scaling and any current game that uses any upscaling like FSR and all future games made with DRS/FSR. And on top of that there will be games made for the console that have much better post processing/RT and allow you to play "graphics mode" at 60 fps instead of 30.

If people want that and can afford a premium price then yes they should ...

This has nothing to do with the election, but if you want to make it about that, one side is clearly pro union, pro wages, and pro worker. And the other side is clearly union busting, pro corporate, and pro removing worker protections and public safety nets.

So yeah, one side is clearly helping labor and the unemployed aka these types of people more than the other. Oh and lets not forget that one side wants to eliminate hundreds of thousands of good paying, healthcare prov...

I'm not sure how you think this will force any change for the better. None of the executives are getting fired, meanwhile the workforce is being replaced by AI.

These profitable companies aren't firing people because of lack of money, its so they can be replaced by AI. The two major cuts are customer service and creatives,.both things that are getting replaced by AI at the fastest rates.

People are leaving the industry because there is less job ...

I can't believe they took games from people, I didn't realize that was how it was going to work... I thought it was just going to be going forward.

It takes some balls to do something like this, they do not respect their customers at all.

And when you look at the way the service has declined in the past few years with things like going from getting 15-20 games to getting 7'ish per month. As well as the games which used to be high profile gam...

I don't care about UE5, why are you even arguing about that? It's not even what this article was about. I don't care about these set piece games your talking about running at 30 FPS, they don't compare to huge open world games running at 60 FPS. on any technical level.

P.S. I didn't even read your rant.

At the end of the day the PS5 Pro is going to have the best looking games regardless of what engine is used to develop them. It goi...

Darth, the reason the the Slim can do this type of charging and the OG can't is because the USB is different.

"Good. It seems that Hogwarts Legacy running at 30fps wasn´t enough to convince you that the Pro is not the console you think it is."

The game can have a PS5 Pro Graphics and Performance mode, just because they chose to show the graphics mode for the presentation doesn't mean the game won't have a 60 FPS mode too, just like the base game.

UE5 is an over hyped Tim Sweeny monstrosity, people think UE5 is so great because it's lite...

Darth, clearly the USB is different, the Slim and the OG have different port layouts. But besides that USB isn't a strict standard, different USB controllers within the same base spec can have different features and speeds.

Like M.2, it's a format but different drives can vary in features and specifications.

"So how are Xbox disks still showing up in stores?"

I feel like I shouldn't actually need to explain that... They are now outsourcing those jobs.

To be fair those people probably weren't going to buy a Pro at any price.
