Hey it's a good rule of thumb. Saves me a lot of money.
I do sometimes partake of the forbidden fruit of E10+ games though. Maybe even a Teen rated game if I'm feeling extra spicy

I literally just saw a PS5 on a shelf for the first time this past weekend, and it was at a small NEX (Navy Exchange). I think we are at a point now where the lifecycle on these things needs to be 10 years. I know that is not what console developers want to hear, but the changes being made are so small at this point that updating the system seems more practical than putting out a completely new system. Same could also be said for cell phones.
With the success of the Switch and the Steam Deck I also don't see how hybrid consoles aren't the future. Anything non hybrid is step back in my opinion, especially when you are looking for something to compete against the PC market. Figure out how to make a hybrid VR console and then you are ready to release something new. Hell even framerate and picture quality aren't that big anymore as most TVs aren't even able to keep up with what consoles can (theoretically) produce.

I think I'm in the last quarter of the game in The Callisto Protocol. I have never played the Dead Space games before, but this game has been decent. I'm not normally big on survival horror, but the game has been pretty fun. I know the whole point of the game is being isolated from others, but I started rolling my eyes every time I got separated from an NPC.

Technology changes fast. It may be less noticeable graphically (I'm sure ray-tracing is just a buzz word to most people), but locked 60fps is key. I always choose performance mode over fidelity if given the option.

I still prefer to play my AAA titles on my 65" LG OLED via PS5, especially if I'm playing 2+ hours in one sitting. I prefer Switch or SteamDeck if I'm playing less than an hour.

Definitely the second one if that's an honest question.
It's an amazing game by its own right, but having that in there gives it a bit more realism than just buttons would, so it's that much more immersive. I guess you can try to play it and see..
Nothing about that game is "kinda clever/cute" - it's pretty hard core from beginning to end, and it feels like ND really fleshed out every part of the game, including those small aspects of guitar strumming which definitely add to the gameplay experience.

Tech does change fast, but I think the publics ability to consume it has started to slow. Rising cost are going to be a huge issue going forward. Not to mention that almost all of the tech in a PS5 (or most current gen consoles) is wasted if you don't have a great tv.

I will probably get a PS5 Pro when it comes out, just because. But when I do I may end up keeping my PS5 and just moving it upstairs. We will see. Depends on if I have a PC at that time, which I have been saying for YEARS now

If I can get a trade in for my PS5 at GameStop for this rumored PS5 Pro with like a no more than max $100 differential I’d snag one up.

Im ok with 1440p 60fps so I doubt there will be enough reasons for me to get a PS5 Pro.
Surely it will just be able to do 4k60 on some games.

I am guessing the plan would be 4K native 60 with more RTX and possibly even better PSVR2 performance. An updated RDNA-3 or even RDNA-4 GPU would pair nicely in this endeavor if they do go Pro at some point. I doubt we'd see it for a few more years though since the PS5 is still selling so strongly and is still pretty good with framerates for the most part

Ps5 pro is dumb. Developers would have to make games targeted at 4k 120 FPS, etc and what not and no ones gonna develop extra just for that. Cross platform devs certainly won't bother with higher res/framerate with the XsS

I’m in agreement with a PS5 Pro is unneeded right now and I would only get one with a juicy trade in deal. They should just make this console generation shorter then if they feel a need to keep up with advancements in hardware and come out with a PS6/Xbox Series Zenith in 2026-2027 then if that’s the case. Although from what I’m hearing more than a usual amount of PC games also available on console are running very poorly compared to their console counterparts so there may be a tide shift to focus dev kits on consoles as a primary VS PC development in the not too distant future which would only make sense for console devs to pump out another console sooner than later. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what happens.

I mean, they're NEVER wrong. We've been on the cusp of a Switch Pro since 2018! Eventually everyone's right.

There’s not enough teraflops on ps5 and series x can emulate psx. Way underpowered.

I agree. I'd be surprised if Sony isn't working on it for PlayStation. Not like a PSP or Vita, but a handheld with an 8" screen that can play ps4/5/6 games.
