I'm not interested but it's cool that Sony is giving Digital Foundry a bunch of new content.

I didn't find my PlayStation 5 worth the money, I doubt I'll find the pro edition for more money any different

Yep, no difference from PS4 for any game. This fast loading they talk about, minimal.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago

It's not minimal at all. Forbidden West load times on PS5 are radically shorter than PS4. Final Fantasy XVI's transition from world map to area is a second-long black screen. It's a world of difference from last generation. Nearly two minutes, to a quarter of that, is not mininal. Loading time improvements quickly add up.

PS5 versions of PS4 games consistently look and perform far better. Again, the jump between Forbidden West on PS4 and PS5 is night and day. I've seen both versions, and I've seen plenty of footage. They're easily distingushable. The PS5 is literally the PS4 Pro's graphics at a locked 60FPS.

Yes, the PS5 is disappointing--but stop fucking lying.

This is the most factually wrong criticism you could ever write. I understand if you don't mind for the visual upgrades, but the loading differences are massive.

I don’t play a lot of open world games. But, sf6 takes an age to load before you even try to match. I expected almost instant, similar to a cartridge console.

Ah yes, I love waiting five minutes to load into a Monster Hunter hunt

PS4 was absolute garbage. I stopped consoles after the PS3/360, but you could not be more wrong

I put an ssd in my ps4 pro and lowered my load times substantially

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

holy shit does that look like a lot of money for not a lot of machine.

Keep it, 1000€ for a console is a ps3 level cunt move. The clear concessions done in the design of the hardware indicate the price point of this was much lower in the design phase destined to compete with the X-S combo. Sadly, MS gave up the hardware game when their clear dumping attempt didn't work as expected and we're now left holding our dicks while sony tries to dig their claws in our wallet.
