Ps5 slim is as real as a new Switch successor announcement for this year.

Let’s have these corpos enjoy a steady streamline of sales now that consoles are back in stock in full for a little while without scalpers having the upper hand before they start dropping PS5 and XSX slims or pros on us. The Switch on the other hand…yeah. It’s about time for a damn Pro model already lest ye all continue to suffer the horrid framerates of bigger titles.

Horrid framerates? Now they charge $70 for 20 FPS games. You'll pay it and like it. What other options do you have?

I’ve been waiting more and more now for price drops. I used to buy like every game I wanted to play at launch. Now I just bide my time. Most of these games are dropping relatively quickly in price a couple months after launch. Or just end up on Game Pass or PS+ at some point. And by that time they’re on like patch 1.05+ and most crappy issues are ironed out.

Don’t know about timing but Slim ps5 for sure at some point. 100% sure it’ll happen as the current system is basically a parts bin. Tons of opportunity for efficiency.
Pro seems to have solid rumors but I don’t see that any time soon. Games releasing at 30fps and/or buggy lately won’t be helped by hardware necessarily.

The Pro will be later next year, according to rumours ps5 dev kits have been released to first party studios and 3rd party will be sometime after that.

Sony tends to release the refresh models 3 years after initial launch, so there's a decent shot of a slim/pro this year.

I just started playing Returnal last night. I'm enjoying it so far. Reached the boss of Biome 1 on my first run (post-tutorial run) (2 hours or so) and got to the last phase of the boss before dying. I don't think this has the addictive nature of other rogue-likes, but I'm intrigued.
Need to beat it before FFXVI comes out so I can free up a 100 GBs

Returnal is way less addictive, it's not like others where you replay constantly and unlock new things like Enter the Gungeon. Once you beat it once toy could quit. There is one secret/second ending after that which is really easy to do though.

Returnal confuses me quite a bit with how it all works/what carries over or not. I feel like I've read several articles and still don't get it. I need to give it another ago though, the 3d audio is fantastic and I enjoyed a couple hours of it. But it's been awhile.

If I remember correctly, only Ether, some special skills (the hook shot, etc), and weapon traits unlocked carry over after dying. I think the least clear is the weapon stuff, I dont remember if it was called proficiency or what but the more you use a specific gun, the better traits you unlock for it. Theyre still randomized, but you get better versions of weapons overall. (Like the handgun having burst fire mode)

There are certain things that do carry over when you die in Returnal. Here's a list of what persists between runs in this game:
-Permanent equipment is kept once you've unlocked it. Examples include the Atropian Blade, the Hermetic Transmitter, and the Icarian Grapnel
-Permanent items are kept once you've acquired them. Examples include the House Key and the Crimson Key
-Ether carries over between runs
-Artefacts and items you've scanned or unlocked will show up randomly in subsequent runs
-Research progress on enemies, weapon traits, items, and artefacts is persistent
-Story/objective progress is persistent
After defeating a boss once, you don't have to fight it again (although you can if you like)
Basically only permanent upgrade / suit unlocks, boss kills and ether are kept. Once you get to a certain point the “launch point / restart level” changes so you do not have to complete the whole game in a single run.

I was able to beat the first boss and make it to Biome 2, where I died early on from a swarm of enemies from 2 different areas I brought together (thought I could outrun the first group…big mistake).

Still never got my DualSense working with PS Remote App via PC since that last update.
Instead, just plugging in. Performance has ... gotten WAY better from when I was playing DS3. Whatever that update was, seems great. I'm getting almost no latency, no artifacts, it all looks/feels great!

Official remote play app? There is a work around, last I tried.
Create a new profile on your Ps5.
Link that profile to the remote play app on PC.
Start the app on PC manually with your mouse.
Turn on your wireless PS5 controller, don't plug it in.
Select your actual main PS profile now.
Go to settings, language, change language from one and swap it back to US English to get rid of the remote play message at the top middle of the screen.
You should now be able to use it wireless with all the dualsense features and the touchpad as well.
Last time I did this it worked.

I got hooked into Ghostwire Tokyo and found chasing down collectibles oddly entertaining. But now it just feels relentless and egregious. The story is bad, the combat is really simple given all the skills and options, and it's an odd game overall. But I really enjoyed hunting down spirits and flying around rooftops. But I'm around level 30 now and have had my fill.

I haven't played it yet but yeah some games just wear out their welcome and are still not finished by the time you are ready for it to be over.

I felt the same way with Days Gone and God of War (to a certain extent). I played Days Gone for a good 20/30 hours but just kind of lost interest. I am really far into GoW. I think I am on the last or close to last level. I should probably just suck it up and finish it.

Yeah. I liked Ghostwire enough to finish the campaign, but I didn’t even try for the platinum because of all the collectibles (and how hard it was to find many of them).
