@Titntin yeah I always play in perf mode. Think the PS5 is set to always choose that mode automatically. And yeah you’re right about the implementation of PSSR on different games. It tends to be third party stuff where it can have issues like dragons dogma 2 and silent hill 2. I’m currently playing Spiderman2 and it’s absolutely stunning with PSSR. I reckon the update with FSR4 will hopefully sort out the lazy third party implementation
@Titntin I turned pssr off and it ran like a dream and looked great 😂😂👌🏻👌🏻.
Pssr is in its first iteration. It will get better over time. Look at the issues dlss had at launch. It was awful and took time to get it right and it’s still not perfect now
@Chip-Douglas oh yes. I remember going to the local video shop (remember those?😂) and trying out a game before begging my parents to go and buy it for me. Which more often than not never happened. I just think this model that MS/spotify/Netflix have created where you literally own nothing is detrimental to what we as consumers actually get for our (mostly) hard earned money. Which is why I still go out and buy physical media today so I do own something for my money.
@Gabrie yeah if you don’t mind renting your games then fine. I prefer to buy mine on a disc and own them. I need PS plus to play GT online and the game rentals are an added bonus. I’d never dine off PS plus rentals indefinitely however. But I supposed games from the essential tier you do get to keep as long as you’re subbed
@JumpingJackson well nobody which is the point. What’s the difference between old games being made to work with new consoles via back compat and an old game being remastered/remade for new consoles. Not a lot I’d say but no one moans about the former
FM deserved better but if people don’t buy it what are they supposed to do💁. On the other hand GT7 has become a sales juggernaut and not surprisingly really. It’s always been the daddy since the late 90s. I adore the game and cannot wait for power pack and then spec-3… hype!
@Gabrie 6 comments in and someone is already talking about the downfall of PlayStation. Christ on a bike 😂😂😂😂🙈 I suppose you will cope however you need to yeah
@rhyno_888 forza came to PS because Xbox needs to recoup the costs of GP somehow. GT7 is still selling tons of copies. It has never gone to PC so don’t expect it to Xbox anytime soon
@You-come-to-me PS5 will be on 120 million (probably more due to GTA6) by the end of this gen. How is that stagnating. It’s in line with near enough every PlayStation generation since PS1. Only console manufacturer stagnating is Xbox
@fatpunkslim well considering Sony have brought the advertising rights I doubt it would do some kind of partnership with Xbox . It’s bound to sell a bucketload more on PS like it usually does
@Gabrie I personally believe PC shouldn’t receive the game as so many will pirate it. This is why rockstar won’t release on PC day and date. They know this fact. Make it console exclusive considering the vast majority of sales will be console
@fatpunkslim PS5 sales ain’t declining though lol. They are in line with PS4 with a much tougher start to this gen. Pretty sure without the issues it would be well ahead of PS4 sales in same timeframe but keep wishing it if it makes you feel better
@BAMozzy I have a portal and having PS5 level graphics in your hands is spectacular. Obvs mileage will vary depending on your internet set up but for me it’s quite exquisite. I notice you say it cannot play games natively…yet!? Does the portal have onboard storage then as I presumed it would only have enough for system requirements considering it’s first and foremost a streaming device
@cross717 if you’re in the market for a PC would you not be spending more than this on it though? That’s what I don’t get about it, who is it for exactly when a decent GPU will be near enough the same price. It’s certainly going to be a half baked PC at best and as far as I’m aware you play PC because you want the best experience of a game
