Hearing a full family is one of the more jarring voice chat experiences. Wonder how much the controller and headset mics for next-gen will pick up.

Asura's Wrath is on Xbox 360, too. It's just a big mess wrt cloud gaming/retro replays because the DLC has the actual ending to the game if I remember correctly. And all kinds of other stuff.

Oh it does, which one? There�s like six DLC�s and I can�t really tell what their deal is.

I�ve only started playing the game and is a ridiculous spectacle like I heard.

Yeah I tried to look it up for you, and it's extremely confusing, probably more so for PS3 than Xbox 360.

What other good games are only on the PS3? I know Heavenly Sword

Demon's Souls, if you want the pure unremastered version. Not really the same without its servers, phantoms, and World Tendency, though.

(The lack of Scraping Spears could be considered a plus.)

Gotta admit to a decent amount of Schadenfreude after they refused to include UHD support with the PS4 Pro because they wanted to go all in on their lovely digital platform that went tits up.

Not rebranding Into the Spider-Verse as part of this campaign seems like a pretty big missed opportunity.

Rocket League originally debuted as a PS+ game on PS4 so I couldn't help but think that Destruction All Stars would have the same fate.

If there aren't a lot of games to play unless you're going through a PS4 backlog, a game like that starts looking a lot more interesting, though.

I still don't have the GoW trophy because finding those ravens is the suckiest thing a game has asked me to since Naughty Dog asked me to look for stupid coins and Firefly pendants in between jumping from collapsing platforms.

Sekiro used to require a user-made patch to be playable beyond 60 FPS because a bunch of game logic was tied to the framerate (like in a bunch of Souls games).

Beyond performance, moddability is also a distinguishing feature of PC.

(And just having Kaldaien fixing everyone's shitt, basically.)

It was a very cute game shown at the reveal, and it's got very down-to-earth marketing instead of the annoying AAA marketing you're blasted with regularly.

Awesome. Seems to fix some things but not others, but any sign of life is good. Texture issues probably won't be a problem on PS5 if you can just load them by the brute force of the new hardware.

"there is a classic filter to make the game look more like the PS3 original"

Brown Mode is in, let's goooooo

Isn't the game rendered at 1440p? Obviously it'll output as 4K, but just before people get their hopes up.

So if a certain someone was going to upgrade their 720p plasma TV for the PS5, would this be a good idea? https://www.costco.com/lg-55%22-class---cx-series---4k-uhd-oled-tv---%24100-allstate-protection-plan-bundle-included.product.100657327.html It is the #1 rated gaming TV on rtings, so I imagine it is?

Has anyone had issues with burn-in on their OLED?

Also, I am very excited for the playstation 5.

CX rules. Keep in mind that they do massive sales on their TVs around Black Friday if you can hold off that long. I assume they do it in the US the same way they do in Europe.

The fire particle effect when the Spider boss hits the shield in the first trailer with a fireball seemed like them really wanting to show off raytracing, but I guess they pulled it off by doing something different. Or maybe they use pathtracing selectively in small areas like that or something.

It's pretty silly that the communication around it is such a confusing mess, but I guess raytracing isn't just some sticker you slap on a game cover either.

The trackpad's the real power-sucker on the DS4 (and presumably DS5 as well), because it has to always be on.

It also has a polling rate of 500 Hz over Bluetooth which is nuts. You get half that over USB.

Speaking of DS4 quality, my rather new one just got a rattle on the bottom left side. Something to do with the rumble must be loose so that's annoying.

How does that work on a system level when games have different numbers of difficulty levels? I can see Default/Lowest/Highest working if there's dev cooperation but what about between default and the others?

I just see it as a developer hint rather than an outright override.

The XSX crew on reddit are giddy that the load times on BC games are faster on the XSX. I gotta admit, I was expecting better from the PS5. The XSX has a much nicer form factor and is seemingly more powerful. Still, I prefer PS for the games and will be getting one .

PS5 seems to do better in a couple of cases, but the new automatic tonemapping feature in XSX is so cool.

Polygon's FAQ also confirms no 1440p output, so consider that hope fully extinguished.

4K capture is supported if manually initiated in advance, but only 1080p for the capture buffer to pull from.
