TBF I think Currys poo poo the bed a little bit with this, with the weird £2000 voucher code so they could....price the PS5 at £2450 to help prioritise customers who had already paid the Pre-order desposit? Just mad.

Also some people never received the email with link to pay the full amount when they should've, so their pre-order got cancelled. Bad times

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
Permanently losing the loot is bad and I hope they fixed that. Grass and other things were never weightless though. True, it's probably not enough to have to worry about it all the time, but all consumable items (if I recall correctly) weighed at least 0.1 (with some stuff weighing 0.2 or 0.3), which could add up if you had tons of everything. This was particularly noticeable for arrows since you generally want to carry as many of those as you can, but it also applied to things like throwing knives and firebombs.

Mainly it meant you had to pick what weapons you wanted to take and which armor you wanted to wear. It's not like Dark Souls where you can just switch into full Havels for a minute if you want to.

UK: GAME seem to be accepting pre-orders again, although they "are not guaranteed to be delivered on release day".

E: Or... not? It looks like the "pre-order" button just takes you to the same product page with the "out of stock" notification. Situation remains clusterfucky.

I would be ecstatic if Target is actually delivering on release day. I have the week of the 16th off and was resigned to not having my PS5 until the 19th. But I will still assume the worst. :smith:

Does anyone else who preordered at Target also get Fedex texts? I have a package currently in Texas scheduled for delivery on 11/12 (I live on the east coast). They don't say what it is - could just be the VR adapter or something my wife ordered - but I'm wondering if it's my PS5. There hasn't been any movement on Target and my card hasn't been charged, but this mystery package has been sitting in Texas since Saturday...

My understanding is that Wal-Mart and Amazon will both have the most units to sell on Thursday, but lets be honest; their stock is going to sell out within minutes. If you want to secure an order, you'll need to be refreshing all of the retail sites often and early in the morning.

Dead by Daylight's PS5 version is confirmed for launch. Progression carries over from PS4 and is a free upgrade if you already own it/got it on PS+. 4K 60FPS standard, with the Visual Upgrades they're touting still coming periodically in updates.

Here's a silly question, when these consoles are shipped and delivered, would they arrive in an unmarked cardboard box? I can't imagine they're slapping shipping labels on the PS5 box. Sorry if it's a dumb question, shipping paranoia is setting in.

Ew ew ew, Sony was smart. Game developers make up for it more than enough with micro-transactions and DLC. Games should still be $60, really $50 or less. It's a total myth that the increase in price goes towards the game development itself, it's entirely going towards the upper / executive managers of these companies.

The boxes look flimsy and can barely be stacked 5 high on a pallet direct from the factory, so hopefully that means retailers will be smart enough to put an external box around it. If they're shipped naked, I'm be shocked if they arrived in one piece at all

Does it bother anybody else that PS5 games are apparently being standardized to include a "Worse Graphics 60fps 4k" mode and a "Better Graphics 30fps 4k" mode but no "Better Graphics 60fps 1080p" mode?

The vast majority of displays are still 1080p, after all.

I feel like Sony is pushing hard to make sure that the good version is only available as 4k to push the whole generation separation thing. If they said 1080rt60 was fine, then developers would probably get lazy and the experience would turn into a ps4 pro.5

Pretty sure most performance modes use variable resolution, so they're basically doing what you want already

Extremely.

Fedule posted:

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.

Toilet Rascal
You could also plug in a 1080P TV, and there's probably a way to tell the OS to artificially limit itself to 1080P. But by default it's going to quite reasonably assume you want to use every pixel in your 4K TV even if that means a compromise somewhere else.

Jun 22, 2004

Yeah, adaptive resolution is used in every console game now, making 1080p obsolete. It makes more sense to have all games run at 4K native, with a targeted 60fps and the resolution just changes on the fly as necessary to keep that frame rate.

I got one of the preorders directly from Sony, so I'm hoping they're treating it like a computer and putting it in an external box.

Seems like all they'd have to do is allow users to manually configure the PS5 to output for a 1080p display, at which point the console could automatically use adaptive resolution to lock each game down to 1080p, while also locking in the "fancy graphics" mode by default for each game, and changing the frame cap to 60 fps as long as 1080p output mode is on.

Basically, as long as adaptive resolution works for each game, it could be possible for the PS5 to be setup to enable "Fancy Graphics 60fps 1080p" mode even as an update in the future.

If you can achieve 60fps at an adaptive resolution above 1080p and downsample it to 1080p, then why would would want to lock the internal framebuffer to 1080p in the first place?
