Official Playstation 5 thread

It was my first Souls experience and I finished it without PS+.

Even though it looks like it'll be announced at XBox's show on Sunday, I'll put it here since Playstation is still the biggest audience for Persona games. Gotta say I'm thrilled to see the Persona 3 remake leak was legit after Atlus posted this to their instagram (and then pulled it down quickly after).

This is a day 1 buy for sure for me, as this game desperately needed a remake. Also loving the footage from Like a Dragon Gaiden. Gonna be a long five months waiting for this one to drop.

FF16's demo is going to be released in a few hours... I think I will pass for now cuz Demons Souls is going to take me awhile but I am interested in seeing what people say about it.

So tempting... but I still have a ton to do in Tears of the Kingdom. Doubt I finish it in time for the June 22nd release so will probably be getting FFXVI next month.

Well crap, this went from a Day 1 buy to a Wait For PC Port after seeing how terrible the performance mode is. Performance modes really need to run 60 fps since Playstation locked VRR behind expensive HDMI 2.1 VRR TV/monitors but this can't even manage to stay in the 48 fps VRR window. Supremely disappointing because I was so sold on this game from the trailers.

At least on PC I'd have the ability to use FreeSync and the bottom end of my monitor's FreeSync window is 40 fps, so I'd likely have a much better experience on a PC port.

Is it a requirement to finish final fantasy 15 to play this one? I started it, got to the main town and got sidetracked with side missions so I never finished 15.

No. The stories are different.

You may as well try it out for yourself. Square did say that there is Save progression. See if it's better if you force 1080p.

I'll just wait for it on PC so I can play it with FreeSync.

Ok then if I do get FF16 I'll probably get it for PS5 anyway. Good to know I could just jump into it as is. Was watching someone play the demo on YouTube and to see what the actual gameplay was, I fast forwarding through so many cutscenes lol. I didn't like that majority of the video was cutscenes but these games are known for that.

So I might be a tad stuck in Demons Souls. Can't beat Flamelurker and it's annoying that you have to drop down a chasm to get to it. I might be able to do it if I go back to Body form, but without PS+ I'm not sure I want to risk going to Black Tendency.

If I remember that is the one that is like in the caves in the 2nd level? I remember it was kind of a pain to get down there but I figured out a way to drop down that hole pretty quickly. And I'd just run by all the enemies before getting there too.

Yes. I did manage to beat it by using magic spells rather than melee.

Gotta say I do appreciate the fast loading times.

PS5 has definitely spoiled me on loading times after going back and seeing what they used to be like while playing through Tears on Switch.

So performance mode in FF16 renders in dynamic resolution from 720p to 1080p and still runs in the 40s. Guess Square Enix doesn't want my money.

Apparently Cyberpunk's DLC is the same way.

- Sounds like those Zen 2 CPU cores are basically at their limit. After those old Jaguar cores I didn't think Zen 2 could ever limit console performance during it's effective lifespan and yet here we are...

Don't really see such low resolution as screaming cpu bottleneck. If it was a cpu bottleneck there would be no point in running such low resolution when the work the cpu does is resolution independent.

Seems like FF16 was designed around it's 30 fps mode, and the "60" fps mode was just an afterthought.

The gen of "4k60" lol

First attempt at PS5 Pro rumors - 30 WGP/60 CU and 18 Gbps memory. That's less than I was expecting but perhaps it will also be cheaper.

Looks like ~1.5x the performance of the base PS5... 60 CUs vs. 36 CUs is 1.67x and they'll likely need a wider memory interface to feed the beast (18 Gbps is only 1.29x over 14 Gbps). It'll be enough to do 1440p at 120 Hz comfortably I think. A true 4k60 console.

As for cost, I'm thinking they fab it on TSMC N4 or a cheap Samsung node. I suppose they could make it using N6, but the PS5 already uses ~200W while gaming. ~300W would be quite toasty and need more cooling. With N4, they could likely keep the power at roughly the same level.

Alright busted open FF16 and gotta say I am really enjoying it. I actually care about the characters and like the combat something I couldn't say about the last FF on PS4.
