BL3 will probably hit a solid 60 on PS5, after a few patches the Pro gets pretty close to that in performance mode most of the time.

I’m kinda excited to try Dark Souls 3 and Sekiro in November myself. Uncapped framerates should have a chance to really shine.

Serious no joke; there has never been a FROM game playing at 60fps on any platform. So this is extremely impressive.

Dark Souls 2: SotFS was a solid 60, Dark Souls remastered was a solid 60, and Dark Souls 3 gets pretty drat close on the Pro after a few patches.

Bloodborne does not in fact have invasions in more than two relatively minor optional areas.
And in those you can kill the enemy that makes those possible

You can get invaded in any area in Bloodborne, but you don’t open yourself up to it unless you summon help first, apart from those two areas.

Yakuza 7 gets the free upgrade path, but won't get PS5 upgrades until March. Bleh.

Oh man I wonder if this means we can expect 60fps patches for all the Dragon Engine games. :flashfap:

Is hdmi in to the TV and optical out to the receiver not an option?

I bailed on receiver passthrough a few years ago and aside from being able to play spotify without the tv turned on, I don't miss it. Depends how many devices you have I guess.

Optical’s going away on the PS5 from what I understand. (Which is a big boo-urns from me, with my old but extremely reliable and nice quality stereo receiver. :( )

BB’s probably going to be the only one of the series that doesn’t hit 60fps on PS5. DS1 and DS2 are 60 already on PS4, DS3 is uncapped, Sekiro’s uncapped, and DeS has the performance mode.

Here’s hoping they finally address that though, because the hacked 720/60 version of Bloodborne was really good looking.

Does GoT get more interesting? I got to the point where there was forced stealth with your girly friend and gave up because I was bored outta my mind. Feels like an Assassin's Creed game from 5+ years ago. I like AC but would never play those again.

It opens up a lot by the end but doesn’t really change super fundamentally apart from your fully unlocked skill set being a bit broken. The game is a lot of fun on Lethal mode though, you and enemies both being significantly more fragile makes for some really tense fights, and the stunningly fast load times mean deaths are pretty unpunishing.

My friend is obsessed with the Xbox Series backwards compatibility, but doesn't the PS5 do that also? I mean I can probably play my whole PS4 game library at launch. Does Xbox do that any better maybe with older gens like Xbox and Xbox360, which the PS5 does not with PS3 and PS2?

I think the major thing is Microsoft’s been hyping their BC up a lot while Sony’s been fairly quiet about it. Personally I really hope the PS5 BC pulls off some nutty poo poo like 60fps Assassin’s Creed games, but Sony doesn’t seem to care about making it a marketing focus at all.

Watched the DF teardown analysis, detected no MS rear end-kissing. Richard spends two minutes contrasting MS's and Sony's marketing approaches by relating how MS has granted earlier and greater access to the hardware, which is fair, obviously true, and useful context for the later part of the video where he has to infer what's on the PS5 SOC from an Xbox presentation slide. And then I guess some people are reacting negatively to him saying the PS5's cooling design is more conservative, which again is a fair judgment, and it isn't even a criticism? A conservative cooling design is one that looks like it will be reliably cool and quiet, seems like a good thing.

I mean maybe it’s just a difference of opinion but calling the Xbox SX a piece of “beautiful industrial engineering” over a shot showing it’s just a bunch of boxes crammed together was pretty funny. I don’t think the bias is huge or makes a major difference, but they’ve definitely been charmed by Microsoft targeting them directly with exclusive stuff.

my ps4 says otherwise unless the speaker is on the ps4 itself? i have actual game recordings on my ps4 where you can hear things in my flat.

i can press l2 and have a speaker icon pop up on screen that says "to select a game, say the name of the game" and on the youtube app i hit the speaker icon, said final fantasy into the ds4 and it typed it in for me.

Try holding L2 and not talking into the controller to test that out. If you have the camera (like for PSVR) it has a mic and can be used for voice commands.

Potentially unpopular opinion but maybe ICO isn’t getting remade because it’s a terrible game that sucks and also isn’t fun to play.

I think Shadow of the Colossus is a top 10 of all time video game, I think TLG is a beautiful and cinematic (if frustrating) experience, and ICO is unplayable dogshit from a stinky butt.

Also as far as gaming concepts go “dragging around a mute woman who is incapable of communicating or defending herself or doing literally anything at all without your help” just seems very dated. Unlike the other two games in the “series” I don’t think ICO gets greenlight in 2020 from a gameplay standpoint.

Yorda isn’t mute and this post is completely wrong in every other respect too, hth

idk why anyone would care about not being able to carry a controller forward. headsets and poo poo still work, and you can get an adapter for the camera if you really want it.

the DS4 -> DS5 situation is basically the same as the original PS controller -> DS2 one with the PS2. you could still use the original PS1 controller on the PS2 but not if you wanted to play something like Ape Escape.

You couldn’t play Ape Escape on PS1 without the right controller either. :haw:

I remember being so blown away when I got my spare PS2 controller before my PS2, and it worked on the PS1 omg!!! :aaaaa: Just a brief taste of the backordered future, it was great.
