Playing Space marine 2 with the early unlock at the moment. :ok_hand:t4: Love it. Really like the way you can feel the heft of your space marine on screen

Any thoughts on the rumoured upcoming PS5 Pro launch? Anyone excited and/or planning to buy one?

I donā€™t even use my PS5 I have now to the extent it can be used, so hard pass on that.

Really dont see why it is even needed. So many games are barely using the PS5 potential as is. I think this gen needs to use what it already has better before any updates consoles are released

Fair enough.

Iā€™ll be holding off until I read some in-depth reviews. My PS5 Slim has coil whine (many of them do). Itā€™s an annoying buzzing sound.

If the Pro resolves this, I might consider just for the sake of my sanity. Once Iā€™ve heard a noise, I canā€™t unhear it and itā€™s ruining the gaming experience for me now.

As for performance, I also feel the PS5 has enough. I canā€™t quite believe itā€™s already mid-cycle. Time flies.

Been thinking about a PS5 for a while so might just wait for the Pro

If I didnā€™t already have the PS5 I would get a pro. But as it is I really donā€™t see the need. Normally I can see why Sony releases a mid cycle Pro model. There usually some kind of improved tech that can be taken advantage of.

Iā€™ll be interested to read/hear how they justify it.

Just played ā€œThank goodness youā€™re hereā€ on PSN.

Yorkshire based game. Very strange but simple.

No, I barely even use my PS5 on firmware 4.50, Which is a golden firmware for the PS5 to be on

PS5 Pro announced at Ā£700, vertical stand not included :hushed:

It seems to just let you play using fidelity mode graphics with performance mode frame rates.

Insane price, but I guess it makes the PSVR2 look better given its half the price of the console.

It has double the storage at 2TB, 67% more compute, 28% faster memory, and theyā€™ve added some additional upscaling hardware.

The end result is 45% improved graphics performance and 200% improved Ray Tracing performance. Also has WiFi 7.

Itā€™s pricey for sure but itā€™s still quite a significant improvement across the board. Itā€™s more than just a storage bumpā€¦

Xbox have ruled out a mid-cycle refresh beyond adding some extra storage, so the PS5 Pro was always going to be expensive.

Sony will now be able to claim to have the fastest console until around 2028.

I will be waiting for reviews before considering.

The improvement donā€™t interest me in the slightest and the price is crazy. Easy pass.

the price is in decent PC territory now

2106

The RRP of the PS5 Digital Slim is Ā£479. The RRP of the PS5 Pro is Ā£699. Actual retail prices will vary.

Itā€™s pricey but I wouldnā€™t say itā€™s hugely overpriced. Obviously opinions will differ on that.

I am leaning more towards a PC + Newer steam deck model instead of a console next gen. I rent my games via disk, which is ending soon and with Sony bringing games to PC after x amount of years anyway I might as well. Gamepass is also cheaper on PC.

Ā£800+ with a disk is too much for me. Got 2 years gamepass and will keep my series X until next gen only which still hasnā€™t happened so far.

You can also do a lot more with a desktop computer

You keep making me hopeful that @Peter_G is back :pensive:
