If physical disc drives disappear, I might leave consoles and only use a Linux gaming PC as they would lose a big advantage in my eyes.

In a way, I guess we really need Xbox to get back to shape so that Sony doesn't become the only player in its market and doesn't try anything stupid.

This or Valve releasing a gaming console/pc for your leaving room for approximately the price of a ps5.

But I just made a comparison online as I was trying to buy Star Wars Jedi Survivor and the game is around 80 dollars on Steam, 40 dollars on the ps store and 49 dollars for the physical version on ps5 on a swiss (my country) online retailer. So when people are saying that games are always cheaper on pc, I don't think it's always the case.

A "console" like box, where games run on a click, without fiddling with anything, at competitive pricing and power. If valve can provide that, they can take over a huge market. Well, they are already doing it with SteamDeck, but a proper home console would bring them in direct competition with PS and Xbox.

I haven't looked at AAA games, but pretty much any indie I have looked up is cheaper on Steam than on Switch or PS.

Yeah it would need to be straightforward and with as little settings as possible as I don’t think it’s what console gamers are looking for. Just watching at videos about games running on Steam Deck and seeing how many different settings you have to choose to get the game running is depressing for me.

About the prices, I also checked Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty and it was 5 dollars cheaper on PS Store than on Steam. It’s clearly not a small indie game though..

500 USD in 2006 is worth the equivalent of 780 USD now though

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Yeah, but the PS3 had a disc drive. With the disc drive, PS5 Pro goes for more than $800.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Wow. That was underwhelming. To be honest, my PS5 has been treated like a PS4 PRO PRO. Catching up on those old cheap PS4 games that had Pro patches. (I only have a base PS4). I mean TLOU2 looks great when patched for PS5 and I never understood why anyone would want the PS5 remaster because to my eyes there's very little difference.

Also, that price and no stand or drive. What were they thinking?

At the end of the day, whose going to spend £700 so that their games look a little bit better?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

That’s basically my view on it, and I’m okay with it. PS4 is around the graphical plateau where I just don’t care about advances - it just struggled to keep a good 30fps at the time. We didn’t need much more.

I think since I got my PS5, I still haven’t bought any true “5 exclusives” which was much the same experience as my Series S.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm stunned by the negative comments, I'm excited and definitely getting this :D. All I wanted was higher framerates and better graphics with it if it's too much to ask. I'll get both + twice the storage. I don't use the drive and keep the console horizontally anyway.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Well, the general consensus seems to be, the upgrade doesn't seem very noticeable, and the price is too expensive. $200 more than the base model.

I think there would have been less complaints at $600 price range, but that's just my speculation.

But if you like it, and can afford it, it is more powerful than PS5, so go for it!

This looks about as pointless as a PlayStation Portal.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

... but I like PS Portal. Well, I like the idea of it. Haven't tried the actual device yet.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

I like the idea of a PlayStation 5 pro, but at that price I don't think it's worth it. That's how I felt about the PlayStation portal too. Like it seems like a cool idea, but not for that price. Honestly I felt the same way about the psvr2 as well, but I ended up picking that up when it went on sale.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I’ve never been attracted by pc gaming, but the disappearance of disc drives and the high prices of PlayStation hardware these days is making me consider buying a Linux gaming PC after this generation.

I’d never thought this as I always saw so many advantages in console gaming..

But who knows, an optional disc drive on ps6 might still be proposed.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Steam Deck is as close to a console as one could reasonably get while still offering all the flexibility and openness of a Linux PC.

I'm on my second (upgraded to an OLED), and I'm crazy satisfied with it.

I have a PS5 that goes mostly unused. I purchased the PS5 to continue my library from the PS4, but I've been really disappointed by this console generation. It doesn't feel like it was much of an upgrade given not many games target the PS5 alone. And now Sony is doing a Pro for what purpose exactly?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

The Steam Deck is a really exciting project and I might buy its successor but I guess it depends on how it would perform when docked on a bigger screen as I don’t see myself playing all the time on a small one.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yikes, that's not a good price, or look. And with most devs targeting PS4 (or Steam Deck) hardware these days, I'd say the new GPU will go underutilized outside of the AAAA sphere.

At that price point I'd say it'd be better to build a PC than get this thing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just wait until we start getting AAAAA games though!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Ooooo, I hope it comes from yet another Ubisoft government subsidy scam

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

So if you want a disc drive and have your console vertically, it's actually £825.

All that just for a bit of upscaling.

800€+120€ disc drive.... That's just to much. But i don't really need it, i'm fine with the normal ps5

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

+ 30€ vertical stand 🤡
