Okay I want an honest opinion and I figure this is the best place for it: Right now I have a PS4 Pro that I'm mostly happy with. Is the upgrade to PS5 worth it or should I stick with the Pro for a couple of more years while we're still in the cross-gen game phase and then upgrade to a PS5 (maybe PS5 Pro)?

Thanks for the opinions guys, I appreciate it. It sounds like I should probably wait for at least six months for the dust to settle. That being said, I hope everyone that gets a PS5 over the next few days has a wonderful time! Please post all your opinions and findings on it! All of us non PS5 owners are salivating for content from goons.

Harlock posted:What about the PS4 Pro makes you unhappy? If you aren't all-in on the PS5 yet, I suggest waiting. The loading gets...annoying, but if I'm being brutally honest beyond loading times I'm not seeing a massive difference between the PS4 Pro and PS5 right now. Which is somewhat expected, as it just released. The base PS4 is reallllllllllllllllllly showing its age, however. If I only had the base model I'd be scrambling for a PS5.

veni veni veni posted:I see a lot of people being very skeptical that developers will properly utilize the dualsense functionality, but I think Astro's Playroom makes such a strong case about what a game changer it could be for just about every kind of game, that it makes me hope that PS users start to demand it. Like, if a game has good or bad DS support, I want to see it mentioned in reviews and be a factor in the outcome of that review. People seem so wildly into it, and I have hope that it becomes a priority in the future. Nintendo Switch has the same thing and let me tell you, third party devs have not used it!

After polling ~couple dozen friends and acquaintances of mine, it sounds like the PS5 is resoundingly more people and in demand. Is this what other people are feeling as well? I get the feeling the XSX is going to have a rough go of it.

I don't know why some of you bring so much anxiety to your life trying to get a PS5. Just wait six months, it's not worth it.

Soysaucebeast posted:OG Nier is legitimately one of my favorite games of all time and I am STOKED to play the remaster. I'm a little disappointed that you can't play as Papa Nier, but I am still pre-ordering that poo poo. OG Nier is a rare game for me. I remember the game being monotonous and kind of boring at times but holy gently caress that story and especially that soundtrack. Those two things hard carried the game for me.

I'm actually looking forward to Christmas and New Year's passing as that will cause the "MUST HAVE BY CHRISTMAS (or at least ordered)" fever to die down. It may be somewhat possible to get one in 2021. This just serves to cause frustration on people that want a PS5.

Is there a compiled list of what PS4 games actually get upgrades / have a PS5 version? It's incredibly confusing trying to compile this information - I want to get a few games out of my backlog that don't have a difference PS4 vs. PS5 but everything I'm finding online gives...inconclusive information.

I've got a Samsung T7 coming in the mail for PS4 games. Should I plug it into one of the rear USB A ports or the front USB C port? Does it really matter since they're both 10Gbps ports? I've heard conflicting thoughts on this online so I figured I'd ask goons since y'all seem to know more than most people.

You guys realize you can easily check out games at the library? It's fantastic for short games that you want to play but don't want to spend money for. It easily makes up for the extra 100 dollars over the digital edition.

Y'all should focus on 4k60 this generation. Talk of 120 or 8k is a pipe dream until PS6 at the earliest. Hell, 4k30 is probably a more reasonable expectation once we get past these cross gen games.

Isn't the front port basically designed for things like dongles for headsets since it isn't a superspeed port? Like, sure it'll work in the rear but you're wasting that port for something that doesn't even come close to 10Gbps.

Even mediocre implementation of haptic feedback, like in Bugsnax, still contributes a lot to a game. I really hope it gets implemented more in the future.

Maneater's going to take me ~15 hours to 100% it, so when I say 10 hours too long I meant that it should have only been a five hour game. The combat is way, way too tedious and my poor R2 is going to need a long break after this game....all you do is mash R2 in fights. The narration is hilarious and seeing what Parnell says next has carried me through the game. But it's not a good game.

Hard to tell how much time she's really put into it, but either way, the game feels like it's taken 30 hours to complete.

Fedule posted:Sony have apparently backtracked on backtracking on VRR/ALLM on their "Ready for PS5" TVs so uh I'm still of the opinion that HDMI 2.0 will be plenty this generation. 120Hz is still very expensive and will continue to be for a while now. The fidelity loss that you'd have to take to get to 120 vs. 60 will likely not be worth it for developers. Hell, we're still trying to get them to wrap their heads around that most people prefer 60 over 30!
