That is no excuse.
You can always go online to up/download your save. No reason to force an always online connection for single player period especially in a game you paid upwards of a penny to play. This is really getting annoying was looking at the PC version but this makes me think twice if the console versions are also like this I will skip it.

Do you have a learning disability or are you just stupid? The PS5's dev-kit is still being finalized... Of course details of the any features of the hardware which may release holiday of NEXT YEAR haven't been finalized yet.
This is just obvious stuff. Not even mentioning that Famitsu isn't PlayStation and Japanese isn't English so you're claiming these tidbits as facts about PS5 that PlayStation (aka the people behind it's ...
Kind of like the PS5 at the moment.
@Obscure_Observer
First of all that quote came from a poorly translated Japanese article in which the report itself is secondhand not from PlayStation directly.
Second is the fact that all PlayStation has always favored native Backwards compatibility at launch including PS3 hardware though later PS3 models and all variants of PS4 didn't support any kind of backward compatibility whatsoever.
Xbox's own BC is all software based which was always consi...
I think the more pressing questions revolve around how seamlessly you can pick up and play right where you left off using two consoles via the use of cloud saves... So what did Polygon say about that? Apparently they did (which is really shocking), but they also addressed that you can play your games on Switch Lite on the go as long as it is the primary console.
"The secondary Switch will need an internet connection, at least upon loading a game, which is bad news if that Switch...
@Mr Pumblechook
Is it impressive when something you think would happen, happens?
I hope you answered no.
Anyway I'm wondering what the next Xbox will offer will MS finally get their heads out of their ••••s? Only time will tell stay tuned for their next console announcements coming sometime by holiday either this year or next! 🤪

Well Sony spends it sub fees on game content... So in Sony's case they actually made a bad thing tolerable.
Apparently no one knows DF is part of Eurogamer and they typically link to DF's YT.
Too much nostalgia. I've played PS3 on CRT. Even games like RR7. Everything looked better on an HD TV.
CRTs have loads of drawbacks.
As a side note I've noticed a lot of gamers seem to be eco conscious... Well CRTs are electricity hogs and require a lot more resources to produce. They also flicker a fundamental flaw created by how they functional trying to hack persistence of vision.
The black levels are definitely a plus over LCDs but th...
Uh... That is literally what this article is about. Digital Foundry is a subsidiary of Eurogamer.
@mixelon
Those statements are objectively false.
Do you somehow think those older displays have more picture elements than modern displays?
Did you consider the way those elements are stacked on top of each other?
Of course not obviously or you wouldn't have commented.
Do you even know how a CRT display works?
LCDs and CRTs fundamentally do identical things but they achieve the same fundamental function in very very different ways.

Why not link no rules against it?
Anyway one link I found: https://www.digitaltrends.c...
Leads directly to DF's very own recent video on the topic others are from The Verge, Inverse and Kotaku
So Inverse had this to say: "For most of society, the rate at which our eyes can detect mild fluctuations in light and color is analogous to about 75...
Because they have... OLED screens are better than CRT and achieve higher resolutions. The phosphors of a CRT display also exhibit blur... It is a requirement without this blur and the human eyes persistence of vision you wouldn't see an image on a CRT display at all... But apparently know one here knows how the tech actually works...

CRTs scale practically every image by virtue of how they function.
Please educate yourself:

I only miss how crisp old PS2 games look on them. Other than that... There weren't any actual advantages.
Most of the people here are have their nostalgia goggles on about CRT technology. When even the largest most sophisticated TV manufacturers who made some of the most popular and sought after monitors who really pushed the tech to the next level abandoned it (Sony), then why is everyone thinking CRT is better?
Oh right the power of nostalgia.
Last I heard LITERALLY NO ONE SWORE BY CRT TECH (in the past 10 years).
There are loads of disadvantages to CRT that people are straight up ignoring.
CRTs don't have uniform color output (much worse than the variability in flat panel manufacturing), the additional energy consumption and heat the space they take up and the fact that yes CRTs do exhibit motion blur and only work because of how they hack our vision.
A lot of people who forgot (or never knew) about the cons of CRT disagreed... Why am I am not surprised?
If we're really talking best looking... FROM AN OBJECTIVE TECHNICAL STANDPOINT (which is possible).
The winner so far is Detroit: Become Human. Nothing looks better and has as many effects going on to convince you the world is real plus pristine image quality (which even Driveclub admittedly lacks).
Now Driveclub is still the bar that I hold developers to when discussing world building and immersion and Ghosts of Tsushima looks to possibly rival Driveclub's...
@timotim
Why shouldn't we discuss how most players are still only getting 30hz on XOS? GT Sport is 60FPS regardless of what PS4 you play it on, same for Ace Combat 7 and many UE4 titles on base model PS4s. Of course Pro and X will manage 60FPS better... That should be obvious they're more powerful devices! What's impressive is how many Pro titles also run at 60 FPS on base PS4s. Everyone gets the same gameplay experience regardless of what device they choose.

Black Ops 4 was made by Treyarch right? That might be why if memory serves they introduced the feature for CoD with WaW and it carried over to consoles too.
