Just screen shot any time a trophy prompt comes up?
It's easy. Honestly I don't have a problem with it because I'd rater have those 30 second 1080p60 clips anyway.
No, dude it's actually pretty straight forward.
Back when we were making as many games as needed on disc and people could only play them locally it was more energy efficient. Having data centers always on for the explicit purpose of playing games when no one is using them wastes tons of energy and requres a lot of water (for cooling) and supposedly it's not recycled for some reason.
Your videogame console requires nothing when it is not in use (and it's...
It's funny how people point out they already did that comparison... so why not see if things improved for Series S next to One X (as it basically lost several battles when they first did this between One X and Series S last time)?
No one can answer that question.
Indeed funny how it took the repeated issues in XSX games for DF to finally concede this point as well and it's probably also a big part of the reason why the above video exists as well.
@HardKnockKid24
Digital Foundry alreadly looked at most of these games for all these systems. 5 were compared here, but importantly the recent releases Cyberpunk 2077, The Calisto Protocol and Elden Ring all looked the same on PS4 and Xbox One. Oliver (this video's host/narrator/creator) noted that GTA5 and The Witcher III respective devs stopped doing last gen systems updates a long time ago with CP2077 just launched it's final last-gen update.
With all th...
I actually faired much better playing WipEout than Ace Combat 7, but that's just because my neck is ••••ed up.
@darkrider
It's already in VR and it looks great on PSVR1 already. Maybe if we're lucky we'll get WipEout on PS5 too.
It's actually more energy efficient to make the hundreds of millions of consoles than to rely on the tens of hundreds of power hungry data centers that always need to be on because maybe one person may want to play a videogame.
"S" likely means Sony though PlayStation is a subsidiary of Sony and of course Sony has massive CSR initiatives as well made to reduce waste (all for this) and combat climate change (uh... this isn't something humans can control, but ok).

Zero. So... like, what the •••• are you waffling on about?
What is important is that people are drawn to the platform to play games that they cannot get anywhere else.

Or you can buy a cheap smartphone which covers all your PC needs (productivity meaning spreadsheets emails and all) and game properly on a console anyway. I think most people will choose this option and still save way more money and more importantly years of their lives not trying to buy a minimum spec desktop PC just to optimize games for it every time their PC farts and screws everything up all just so they can look less like a "console simp", "pleb" or "peasant&quo...
What you wrote is completely false...
"...as DF proved, a top-end Gen3 (cheaper than Gen4 yet still vastly faster than Xbox Series SSD) works fine largely thanks to PS5 I/O tech."
The WDSN750 SE is PCI-e Gen4 for starters just on the much lower end of of Gen 4 spec.
"PS5 offers drive support for; PCIe 3.0"
No.

Uh... color me perplexed. I have a PS5 and have yet to find a way to move save data to my USB drive on a per game basis. Sure I can do it for PS4 games... BUT NOT FOR PS5 GAMES!
This is a small misstep on PS' part not something to really cry about.
However if Xbox Series does allow Series game save data to be transferred freely to any USB drive to be downloaded to another Xbox Series on a per game basis without internet or a subscription or reformatin...
PS5 only allows one format, the format is specific to PCI-e Gen 4 m.2 NVMe SSDs. The thing is PCI-e Gen 4 m.2 NVMe is a standard that many storage device manufacturers can make freely.
Microsoft uses a proprietary format card for Xbox Series consoles which is open to other manufacturers according to MS. I suspect other manufacturers aren't biting (making memory units for Xbox Series) because Series devices aren't selling well enough.
Not only that but unlike in the PS3 and PS4 days plopping in a new drive requires less effort on PS5 because you don't have to reinstall firmware and format the drive and start the system like the first time you've ever used it before. PS3/4 HDD/SSD swaps required way more work on the user's side than PS5 does today. It's effectively just like putting in a new memory card which is exactly what an NVMe drive is anyway.
I doubt MS will make a lot from this, but I agree wholly that this was their intent.
I didn't know PS5 supported 4TB until after I had secured a 2TB WD drive.
It is nice that PS5 NVMe drives don't require the firmware and all. PS5 NVMe are easily swappable, but not in the same way Xbox Series' cards are. The nice thing is that while the process of swapping cards requires turning the device off disconnecting it from the wall removing a side panel, the drive bay cover and drive to replace it... the effect is exactly the same as swapping out the Xbox Series&...
@jznrpg
I get that Orchard is a Xbot and all... but I have to agree that if PS5 had a 4TB memory card option like Xbox Series has I'd be very excited for it. That said hopefully PS5 will allow external gen4 NVMe storage support via USB. I picked up an overkill gen 4 NVMe drive dock for my PC only to find out my PCI-e gen3 PC's motherboard can't use it to its fullest, but my PS5 can if only we could load PS5 games from it! That would be a nice middle ground in my personal ...
How about offline USB saves for PS5 games instead?
There's an artificial lock on PS5 gamesave transfers. You can backup PS4 gamesaves to a thumb drive but not PS5 savegame data.
