I'll just wait until Februari-March before starting to look at buying a new console. I think by then we will know for sure if they tend to explode or not. Don't want to buy a console that will explode.

il serpente cosmico posted:It's not worth worrying about, honestly. I have the same TV as you - at worst, VRR may look a little washed out compared to using your TV without it enabled. But VRR use cases on consoles are very limited, and are unlikely to be a heavily used feature. As I said, PS5 doesn't even have it enabled yet. The PS4 library that gives you the option to run at unlocked framerates runs at 60fps across the board on PS5, so you won't find a use-case there even when PS5 does receive a VRR update. Are we sure? I literally just ordered the OLED a day ago. I still have the ability to cancel the order.

The optimal way of doing a performance profile selection in a 3D game these days is, you choose either resolution or framerate to lock, and a value to lock it at, have toggles for whatever else is applicable (eg: RT, and maybe some other grouped variable presets (honestly, it would be neat if console games finally made a couple of these things configurable like they are on PC, having options isn't anathema to people)) and then whichever of resolution or framerate you didn't lock shakes out however it shakes out. It's a little baffling that Spider-Man insists on running its performance mode at a high resolution (admittedly dynamic, but it hovers between 1440p and 4K by accounts) and saves by disabling RT. I don't know about anyone else (though I suspect I'm not alone in this) but I'd much prefer a mode that runs at 1080p60 and keeps the RT. The more cynical part of me suspects that Sony would like to prime people to expect RT and 60fps to be mutually exclusive options in their games. John Wick of Dogs posted:Haptic profile design seems so similar to sound design I wouldn't be surprised if there's some very good tools that take character sounds and convert them to haptics I've heard it alleged (in this very thread) that exactly such an API exists; sound in, vibration out. The voice coil actuators in the DS5 are all but literally speakers.

Yeah it's a bit baffling that it's not there at launch but it has to be coming later because they talked about it being a thing.

Is it possible at launch to entirely fill a terabyte with PS5 games? I mean if you're running ps4 games off a USB 3 external it's possible that the decision to postpone archiving ps5 games may have been reasonable given that it's unlikely you'd fill the ssd. Development man-hours are more limited than ever, and functionality like that wouldn't have been a high priority early in OS building. I'm just saying I can see the reasoning. The Ps3 and 4 OS and front-ends went through a lot of revisions over their lifetime.

Casnorf posted:Is it possible at launch to entirely fill a terabyte with PS5 games? Yes. Here's just a partial list of launch games (many of which will get free upgrades from last gen) and install size estimates. Not included are early December games like FIFA, Madden and Destiny 2. Assassin's Creed Valhalla (45 gigs) Borderlands 3 (56 gigs on PS4) Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War (133 gigs) Demon's Souls (66 gigs) Devil May Cry 5: Special Edition (42 gigs on PS4) DIRT 5 (60-80 gigs) Fortnite (10-30 gigs) Godfall (50 gigs) Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales (50 gigs) Marvel's Spider-Man: Remastered (55 gigs) Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate (66 gigs on PS4) NBA 2K21 (87-110 gigs) No Man's Sky: The Next Generation (13 gigs on PS4) Observer: System Redux (16 gigs) Sackboy: A Big Adventure (31 gigs) Watch Dogs Legion (34-54 gigs) WRC 9 (30 gigs) This steamrolls past the 664 gigs of usable space you have on the PS5. univbee fucked around with this message at 14:57 on Nov 9, 2020 |

There was some talk about games getting smaller on install because the SSD meant they didn’t have to duplicate assets or something. Was there anything to that or just theory crafting?

It's a real thing (at least one goon has done it themselves on PC titles as a proof-of-concept) but it's not looking like the launch window games are leveraging this as well as they should. Either that or they're using absolute unit textures.

This wouldn't affect any game already out and probably not any cross-generation game, in the coming years games that were never targeting anything other than next-gen consoles and PCs with SSDs could start doing this.

For the people who have played demon souls original, do you think it will hold up for those of us who have mostly played the later from software games? Will gameplay level/encounter design still be good, or will it be slightly outdated by bloodborne et al.?

They'd need to be designed from the ground up to use it, bit risky to switch over for any titles targeting launch window. It's likley that ue5 will eventually release some tools to automate what needs to be done. Barring a really strict working process, it needs a tool that can scan through the final build and detect that meshes or textures are duplicated but identical and should be linked to the same file. That also doesn't exist yet, but is possible. Probably many devs would rather wait for that than do it manually.

Scraping Spear was kind of bullshit. Item weight made exploration less fun. The fact that you could permanently kill or have killed by an NPC the guy who holds all your inventory also sucked. Demon Souls Magic was Souls Magic system in it's most OP form, sense you could regen mana so you could have spells up for every enemy if you were patient enough. Like you could slowly chip away certain enemies over the course of an hour with the starting spell. Poise didnt exist, so I remember armor not being that good either. anglachel fucked around with this message at 15:40 on Nov 9, 2020 |

I disagree that limiting healing grass will make it "feel better". It will make it HARDER though. Demon Souls has a kind of charm to me that you could stubbornly beat your head through encounters with grass farm and magic spam. (Bosses would still mess you up if you tried to get through this way) Item Burden was not very fun, and Dark Souls getting rid of it was a good idea.

I'm honestly glad the disc PS5 seems to be the one Sony is prioritizing making because a digital-only console being viable for me right now is increasingly laughable (probably even more so for people in other parts of the world).

Every game I listed is going to have a true native PS5 version that won't currently be installable to anything but the SSD (although I believe you can opt to just install the lesser PS4 version and run it off the external, or even install both if you want to get really weird).

Volte posted:Dark Souls getting rid of it was a good idea, but it makes perfect sense in Demon's Souls where you visit the Nexus and Stockpile Thomas after every stage. Having to decide what you want to take, how much room you want to leave for loot, and ration your supplies is a core part of the gameplay. You should have infinite room for loot, permanently losing loot because you didn't dump enough poo poo into Thomas beforehand is really bad and should not be allowed to happen You didn't have to ration your supplies either because you could carry infinite grass with no penalty. And this being the only thing they fixed in the remaster isn't helping
