I used to have a projector back in the PS3 era, could only do 1080i but having games blown across an entire wall was pretty rad. Sucked in summer though.

Alright I think you guys talked me into leaning towards the 65” LG CX. Picture quality is important to me and it’s still a respectable size for my viewing distance. Ultimately I’d rather have superior picture quality over a bigger badder version of LED. I’ll do some remaining research on my own. Thanks for all the suggestions!

Gosh should I play dark souls 1? Has it aged well and how are the graphics on the remastered version on PS4 pro? I only played dark souls 3 (never finished) and then Sekiro followed recently by bloodborne.

They do a credit check authorization to make sure your card can handle the charge. They should only charge shortly before shipment.

I believe it’s 4K (at least the UI) and 60fps. Obviously it doesn’t look as detailed as BB, DS3, or Sekiro, but it definitely didn’t age poorly. It’s very, very playable. Being able to play it at 60fps feels great.

Also I put an SSD in my Pro and the game loads incredibly fast.

The extra 20" in diagonal width means the TV is actually nearly twice as big. I'd take that over perfect blacks and theoretical 120 fps, but that's just me.


The X900H is supposed to get 120 Hz/VRR support in a firmware upgrade (hopefully before the PS5 launches)

Here is the one case where the Best Buy warranty makes sense.

But it’s usually cooling and optical drives that affect launch systems, right?

No optical on PS5-D and the whole drat case looks like it’s built around cooling.


Here’s to the poor dumb fuckers who re-sold their preorders for 4x retail, only to have them cancelled :shepspends:

Amazon Japan has pre-orders up for the Sony 1st party games and interestingly enough they all have unknown product code bonuses. No mention of what they are but I guess Demon's is getting some minor DLC?

Relative to release date DS1 has aged more poorly than Demon's Souls imo, but it has a few more QoL features and some awesome environments. It's a great game. All FROM games are great.

This is the fascinating thing about Nintendo (although sometimes frustrating) that other companies can't replicate. Their games can have major problems or design issues, and sometimes they can even be addressed after the fact via patch or DLC but they just say gently caress it. Unlike Bethesda, and other companies, they are rightfully given a pass because taken together they create evocative experiences that are just good. The flaws of Fallout 4 are simply unavoidable and game weakening in ways that the "mistakes" or "flaws" in Nintendo titles are not. It becomes a preference thing "well I wish the weapons didn't break" (but at some early point in the game it's so easy to get weapons it doesn't matter).

I had a similar feeling that Horizon was a better game than BotW that year, but in the end I don't even agree with my very initial impression. The feelings evoked from hearing music in certain towns the first time, or experiencing one of the purposeful quirks related to magnesis somehow exceeded my feelings for majestic wildlands of Horizon. That's just Nintendo magic honestly.

I assume Demon's is going to be to PS5 what Bloodborne was to PS4, where it establishes itself very early as a system seller and thus Sony covets it like it's the One Ring and it never spreads to other platforms. For the longest time my PS4 was basically a Bloodborne Arcade Cabinet and if I get a PS5 it'll probably end up being the same for Demon's.

Yup. Big time.

Destruction All Stars is like the most generic launch title game name I can think of. It seems destined for mediocrity, but the trailer looked kind of cool, so hopefully it's OK.

Can’t believe there were people saying they were disappointed with the launch line up a few days ago. Demon’s Souls is an actual great game. Be glad it’s not like the PS3 where you were stuck with Resistance and a bunch of sports games.
