It was a complete failure on their part. It shows that they didn’t understand at all why the PS4 was so successful and why the PS3 was able to be saved after an awful launch. Sony should fund and develop single player games to help attract people to the platform, and let 3rd parties make their big live service games. Now that Microsoft is going 3rd party, let them run the live service games, Call of Duty isn’t going anywhere.
I love Yakuza, Hawaii, and pirates, what could go wrong?
Stupid article that doesn't cite anything. PC gaming is strong right now but Nvidia's war against consumers has seriously hurt the value proposition of the PC as a gaming platform. Hopefully AMD and Intel can help fix the situation with budget cards like the RX 9070, as Nvidia has lost their damn mind their $2000 gaming cards.
It's probably going to be discontinued before the end of the generation similar to how the One X was discontinued before the Series X even released.
Publishers shouldn't expect every game to turn into World of Warcraft or League of Legends. Most games only remain popular for a few years, that doesn't mean they aren't worth making.
I agree, haven’t been blown away with the differences. I wanted a second PS5 for a while though so this finally gave me the excuse I needed.
No idea but the PS4 Pro did a similar thing with DDR3. (1GB I think?)
A necessary compromise that increases performance 25-30%.
Exactly what I was thinking. When SLI was around an Nvidia flagship card was $700, less than half the price of their current flagship.
Appears to allow you to connect this to your Switch in docked mode to alternate between 4 different physical Switch games with the press of a button, instead of constantly removing and inserting cartridges. I can understand the appeal if you play mostly in docked mode.
Not exactly the same, this is for stuff like machine learning for visual enhancements like DLSS. The PS4 announcement is more akin to something like YouTube recommendations.
No, they'll do what they have with their last few games. It'll be console first and then PC 6-12 months later for double dippers.
Paying studios for exclusivity and giving away all the games they give away. The market decided already, Steam is the platform people want to buy games on.
Of course, only 25% of Xbox Series consoles can even play discs. It's a shame an has expedited the death of physical media.
While I don't think this will turn Macs into cost effective gaming machines, the improvements with the M3 family are significant and will help a lot.
I got the PSVR2 on release day, haven't played it in months and I haven't seen anything on the horizon that excites me. Sony needs to get Half-Life Alyx ported.
That's unfortunate, Concrete Genie was an interesting little game.
This kind of breakdown is why Microsoft's attempt to force everyone onto a no used game model in 2013 was stupid. The majority of customers will voluntarily participate in such a system anyway if you make it optional.
I'm surprised they'd even pursue this after the complete collapse of the NFT market last year.
I agree, I got the Pro on launch day just as I got the regular PS5 on launch day. I feel like so far very little has provided a compelling improvement. I wanted a second PS5 though anyway so this was an opportunity to get one.
I do think as more first party games come out, we could see some impressive results due to how much better the RT performance is on the Pro.
