Re: PlayStation 5

Did you try The Matrix Awakens? An Unreal Engine 5 experience that gives a different perspective than other engines we've previously played on. That demo shows us that it still has some kinks in it but how spectacular those visions can be when played using UE5. Now that was something.

Only once for a little. But, I can definitely see the potential of UE5. That's what I'm talking about. Next gen level design and something as little as scale. The character's size relative to the city feels more appropriate. Many open world games in the past, the character's size feels to close to the size of the city landscape. When done right, like in the demo, it makes the world seems bigger. Also the amount of NPCs and cars make the world feel more alive. That's the issue a lot of these past open world games had. A lot of them felt so lifeless and felt like the NPCs served no purpose other than to simulate the real world.

We're still probably a year or so away from seeing those UE5 and other current gen exclusives games showing the true potential of the next gen console.

It is apart of the Extra tier. For the most part, Premium tier is the classic games and some of the PS4 games that were remastered.

Re: PlayStation 5

Will there be a God of War bundle?

So there should be a bundle hitting on 11/9.

Wonder if these will be immediately sold out.

Re: PlayStation 5

I'm sure it's difficult bundles all over, but I hate how the only way to get a console right now seems to be bundle deals with a game you might not even want, while paying full price for it.

They're finally offering an NHL23 or FIFA23 PS5 bundle.. but you must also buy another game with it.

If I could choose which games, I'd have no problem adding in NBA 2k23 one time and buying two games full priced, but forcing a specific game on you sucks.

Re: PlayStation 5

The Jurassic VR and call of the mountain are the 2 games so far for VR that look good. Bummer that it cost 550 and not the like 450-500 people where expecting. Hope I can get a pre order in for vr2 because if PS5 is anything to go by not getting a VR preorder and you will be waiting a few years to get one.

Re: PlayStation 5

Still a very healthy number of subs, but PS+ memberships surprisingly declined with the rollout of the new take on the service.

I keep having to remind myself to cancel my Premium membership on 11/14, I put it on my calendar. Last year, I forgot and paid full price instead of half off on CDKeys

I only did Premium because it was a $8 difference for the remaining time of membership. Premium isn't worth it for me. I'm switching to Extra on the renew date.

I kinda wonder if the extra cost and tiers puts people in a position to regularly reconsider the service and could drive this churn.

Re: PlayStation 5

I think more and more people are viewing any kind of digital streaming/subscription service as being expendable or interchangeable from month to month. So it's not at all surprising to me to see subscriber gains stalling out or falling across the board, especially with all of the choices out there. If you can't find anything of interest on there you might switch to PC game pass, or just find something on steam instead.

Supposedly a lot of the loss came from PS4 owners feeling like they aren't getting as much value out of the service. Personally I felt the "you don't actually own anything" reality of this business model last month when a game that I was playing regularly was dropped out of the blue (to me anyway) and I just ended up buying it. That felt dumb but oh well.

That level of drop off is strange. My initial thought was that the ps4 is starting to feel especially old all of a sudden for some and they’re letting their subs go for the time being.

I know a few people who subscribed for a while during the last gen, and who probably would’ve picked up a 5 by now if it had ever been on a store shelf. Not to mention the small group of people who saw an Xbox available first and didn’t mind switching platforms.

In my own case, I forgot about the auto renew and then probably would’ve canceled the next year, but my kid was obsessed with Fall Guys at the time so I just let it roll over again. I had shifted to mostly PC in the interim and then eventually was able to grab a 5.

I dunno, could just be anecdotal, but I suspect a large portion of that drop is at least partially tied to the messy transition from last gen to current gen.
