Poll: *The Official PlayStation (PS5/PS5 Pro) Thread*

Looking forward to Astrobot ; wish Sony made more of these type of games. The cinematic AAA titles are all well & good, but variety is the spice of life, as they say.

The only problem is September is a stacked month for games : Space Marine 2, Astrobot, Age of Mythology Retold, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom. And I still have Black Myth: Wukong to finish ( hopefully will within the next week ).

Looks like the new astrobot dual sense is all gloss finish. Just a heads up as I think some were expecting it to be matte.

I am so hyped for astrobot. I still listen to some of the ost from the freebie game bundled with the ps5.

Deffo getting this - I love these sort of games, such good fun and so playable.

If you're planning on buying Astro Bot digitally, you can get an extra 150 points on PS Stars if you opt in before pre-ordering. A handy little boost, I'm not far off having enough points to redeem for another £20 credit.

I just treated myself to Judgement ps5 version (all dlc included) £8.99 and Lost Judgement Ultimate £14.99 (all dlc). Both from psn in the latest sale.

I'm quite looking forward to trying them out once I finish Black Myth Wukong - I figured at these prices I could add them to my backlog of shame

They are both great. Super polished Yakuza games with some detective stuff thrown in. First one is better and the story is really good. Quirky, funny yet serious. Cool combat.

Bought the stalker trilogy. Any tips for getting started ? Feel like I’m getting rinsed by basic enemies.

Played 10 hours or so I’ve the first one a few weeks ago. Even on easy it is pretty punishing. Dropped it in the end. Enjoyed it a lot at times but it’s sooo slow!

Aye. Thinking I’ve bit off more than I can chew with this

Rumours floating around that the PS5 Pro won’t come with a built-in disc drive Terrible decision imo

Was it the French article you saw? Apparently it looks like it won't have the built in disc drive but has the same 'attachment' area that the new PS5 Slim has so you can add one if needed and use that same disc drive attachment that's currently available, although unsure how true that all is.

I would prefer no disc drive to keep the base price down so it can have more powah.

Hope thats not the case but it wouldn't surprise me.

Still cheaper for me to buy physical, Astrobot being one of them.

The design of the Pro has been leaked from the retail packaging, with a decent amount of certainty as the leaker (billbil-kun) has never been wrong, as far as i know. They used a drawing, so Sony couldn't copyright strike it.

It's speculated that the "speed stripes" are there so they can use the same removable panels and disc drive as the Slim uses, but on a physically taller machine.

 

[Mobius 1]

The detachable disc drive from the slim will most probably fit the ps5 pro

 

[jennidc]

It's going to be an expensive upgrade for me as I currently have a none vrr TV- so if I guess the pro price as £600 and a budget vrr tv for around £500 and now add £100 for a disk drive that's a whopping £1200 - crikey I need to get saving!

 

[TheVoice]

Perhaps it's just me, but it seemed fairly obvious from the moment the "slim" PS5 was released and the Pro was rumoured that a key part of the redesign was to share covers and the disc drive between models. The Pro is obviously going to be expensive, selling it with the disc drive as an extra keeps the price down a bit and means people who already bought it separately can use it with the newer console.

 

[ZXSpectrum]

I am looking forward to it. Hopefully it will be a decent improvement over the original that I still love.

It would also be great if it came with a dual sense edge.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Tbh for the first time since consoles began I’m not overly interested in a new model. The lack of many decent games this generation for me questions the point of a Pro. The PS5 manages the job pretty well considering most games this generation are mainly remasters/rereleases of previous gen games.
Will see when it comes out if my interest spikes or if there are some worthwhile games announced.

 

[t2na]

I'm definitely leaning more towards picking one up, particularly as it looks similar to the existing PS5 so my wife will have less questions.

If it can give us more stable 60fps at higher resolution - but equally push games to 120fps where possible then that's really what I'm excited by. I loved playing Horizon Forbidden West in the unlocked frame rate mode, sat nicely around 90fps for most of the time and maybe this is where the Pro would bump it even further.
