General gaming discussion

The ps5 30th anniversary is crazy though.

You can see sold items have gone for over 5k and there's a ton that sold already. Weird to think I could literally sell my preorder for thousands.

A friend of mine who works a decent job failed to get one and begged me to sell for 2k. I could even keep the extras as he already bought a 30th controller. He just wanted the console. I laughed and said he could buy it for that and sell it for double the next day.

Obviously he wouldn't and I wouldn't sell it either but thought that funny.

Now I'll be using mine but the resale value will be good enough to get a PS6 and that'll be enough for me.

It's not just a colour scheme, the 30th anniversary PS5 is and will be a piece of history, all the other base PS5 models will go down in value in decades to come, the 30th anniversary will only go up and stay up. It's an investment and a pretty good one. I'd easily have spent another 300 over the base PS5 pro but they were gone before I even had a chance to look.

That being said the retail price is all I'd pay for it, but scalpers will win in the end with something like this

In fairness a 5090 would be used in the vast majority in work applications rather than for gaming.

I said it wasn't an invitation. There's no talking to pc heads.

Settle down petal. Just like I don't have to respond. I just didn't want to get into the same tired conversation where pc heads tell us why pcs are better for everyone while shyting over what will be the most powerful console available at the time it's released, blind to the fact that more than enough people don't like/want to game on pc.

I'll leave it at that. You seem a tad annoyed at a few words for some reason.

As digital foundry have pointed out an equivalent graphics card is the 4070. That's €634 on Amazon. So if you can get a processor, motherboard, ram, hard drive, cooler, power supply and a PS5 controller for €150 then you can be happy in the knowledge you have machine that can't play any of your playstation games.

Started playing Uncharted The Lost Legacy on PS5. I love how the Naughty Dog games are so uncluttered, display, gameplay and controls wise, compared to the artificial complexity in other games. Sure looks lovely in HDR and high frame rates. They do escape sequences really well. The first level has you running and sliding across rooftops, and down ropes with lights on them that pop, in the pouring rain, with excellent music and sound effects. Also, the dialogue is snappy and spot on. Then straight into the jungle searching for some McGuffin. Also I much prefer looking at Chloe and Nadine than Nathan Drake and his chumps any day too. 😁 It's a lot of fun.

What a breath of fresh air after the turgid, depressing, brutal, God of War. Plus I know it's a short game and not going to suck the life out of me.

Yes, it's very good. I got a copy of it when I got my PSVR headset. I played a little bit of it in VR but the tension got too much.

Tried RE4 on Wii but I couldn't get past the muddy graphics. Waiting for RE4 remake to drop below 20 quid physical on PS5 and then I'll get it. Think I'll leave it at RE4 only as these games freak me out. I can't imagine what they are like in VR.

The resident evil VR is top class. Village and 4 get the boost of PSVR2 so are even better. Even just doing the shooting range in 8 and seeing the reloading of weapons is really well done.

I couldn't finish 7 in VR it got too scary 😳.
