This actually has me curious, since PS5 purchasers are essentially getting 19 PS4 games for free, how many people legitimately wouldn't have a backlog because they'd burned through all those games?

This is pretty wild the guy turns off all the sound from the game at one point and just records the haptic motor noise up close making it way louder than it would be in your hands and the motors sound exactly like the sound effects of a fan blowing air or walking on glass/metal.

Like the controller sings to your palm meat along with the sound of the game.

One of the big things for quick resume is that it’s essentially useless for multiplayer games, you’d get just booted out. A lot of games are multiplayer and why would you be switching between several single player games?

Again I think it’s a very nice feature but I do think Sony either 1) it just didn’t occur to them that you’d want to hot swap between 3+ games 2) they decided it wasn’t worth the cost/benefit

Unlocking framerate in a game has to be one of the simplest patches you can do right?

Some games have physics, logic and trigger events tied in directly to a capped 30 (or more) FPS so a patch for these games is most definitely not easy

What are folks doing with their PS4? I'm kind of a minimalist, I know I will probably never turn my PS4 Pro on ever again once my PS5 is installed and online. I was thinking of trying to sell it for $150-$200 on facebook marketplace, hopefully it will go to a good home, but if I could get a bunch of trade-in value somewhere else to put towards new games or PS5 accessories, I would do that as well.

The only trade in deal I've seen was an ad for GameStop where you get $200 towards the purchase of a console, but I already have my console so i think I'm SoL...

I'd recommend keeping it for another couple of months just in case we find out all next gen consoles spontaneously explode at the 2 month mark

So what's the whole thing with PS5 and xboxes arriving early for people?

Is that just a natural consequence of so many deliveries and things being sent out by so many companies for efficiency, or do Microsoft/Sony not really care about breaking their 'release dates' because of a global pandemic and no chance for big release events?

Before I leave this thread until the end of next week, does anyone have anecdotal reviews of the Pulse headset? I'm using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990's for pretty much everything and they're exceptional quality, but the PS4 controller doesn't deliver enough power to it, so it's a little bit quiet. Wondering if it's worth splooging money on a pair for the PS5

Yeah I’ve heard too many examples it if going wrong - I turned off rest mode the second I could get into the settings. Will just wait for a definitive patch/update.

Besides even if it’s a very low chance of bricking it I’d be waiting months probably for a replacement

About 3 hours in to Cyooberbonk and got my first crash :yay: just...driving to a new mission.

Well I’ve been watching my partner play both because I was never on the hype train and also as a legit epilepsy warning person.

On that note being the observer really does give you time to notice a lot of the jank you might not otherwise. The level of LOD late streaming is quite bad. There’s some graphical glitching that I’d excuse in any other new release so that’s fine. I’ve also seen some glitches that were precisely the same I’ve seen in YouTube videos that have a million “BUH THIS IS THE BEFORE THE DAY 0/1/INFINITY PATCH” comments so they’re all a lie

Apropos of absolutely nothing but I just got a month's free trail of stadia and played Hitman 2 on my laptop and by god there's 0 perceptible lag. Kind of wish I did that ridiculous cyberpunk for £30 with a free controller and ultra chromecast deal when it was up. Unfortunately I don't actually have a mouse, so I wasn't actually able to shoot anyone, and my playstation controller is like, in the other room which is too far away to test a proof of concept. The only real issue is that the resolution's a little fuzzy.


I wonder what PSnow is like in streaming only.
