The box of the standard PS5 has the 8K logo on it. Maybe they were just future proofing it.

You’re absolutely right. Just noticed that.

Oh great a new PS5 Pro with support for games at 8k with performance modes at 30fps and quality at 20fps. The stutter is real.

Any of you check out the Twisted Metal series on Peacock? It's so damn corny, pretty sure it's intentional, but I couldn't watch anymore past the third episode. I've only played the first two games in the series, maybe I just don't remember the humor in them because I don't think I ever played them single player, IMO they were meant for multiplayer so that's the only time I'd play them.

The first two games were added to PS+ Premium this month, so I'll check them out in single player now. Kinda surprised they didn't have a new game ready to launch alongside the series debut, but maybe they wanna see if anyone bothers to watch it first.

Started up Final Fantasy 16. Played the beginning again since it's not that long. Only thing that's a little annoying is there are two sort of dodge buttons. Only one will let you dodge/counter, at least so far.

Anyone Preorder the Spiderman 2 Bundle or the Case sides or Controller?

I saw it on the top before I scrolled down to my old WWF as I always do. The only thing it made me think about is my commitment to buy a near mint Twisted Metal 2, black, and TM .

Well even with the LeBron James and Spiderman 2 Covers out, I went ahead and ordered the Grey Camo covers I have been wanting. The Spiderman 2 Covers look cool but ultimately I prefer the Camo ones for the long haul. Not sure if I will order the Spiderman 2 controller (if it comes back) as I have a camo one I have yet to open from last years Christmas sale on them. When I do play on PS5 seems I always need two to make it through a play session. Red, Blue & White rockin right now and soon the camo one.

Which controller is your go to color? Also with the interchangeable covers makes the limited edition systems not as exciting to grab which actually is nice for as expensive as the PS5 is currently.

I thought the PS4 Spiderman Console was one of the best and always wanted it and assumed I would get the next one if they made it but just dont have the urge. $600 is just to much, when you already have one.

This is my go-to

How much is that one? It shows out of stock, that could be a deluxe Spiderman 2 controller based on the design and colors.

I had the Xbox Elite 1 but never used all the extras, that is my only experience with a deluxe controller.

$240. I don't really play any technical/multiplayer games on console so it's definitely overkill but I do still use the paddles when I'm feeling extra lazy

Is this Europe? How come the Spiderman Controller is available there but not here. Also Consoles look to be $75 off (not bundles) until 10/8

I prefer D-Brands Dark Plates. They get rid of the "popped collar" look and add a vent on the side. I have grown accustomed to the slimmer look and changing the LED strip to red is pretty cool.

I do like the Gray Camo though and really do think that Spiderman controller is pretty sick.

I see they are releasing a controller for people with disabilities, LOVE it. I have a client that would probably use this.

Once you see it you can never not see it.

Yep.

Just looked and they released some new colors and the skins that go down the middle of the system.. I am digging the Orange.

I'm a little jaded that Baldur's Gate 3 launches over a month later than today (like PC) haha

As someone who currently only has an Xbox, I'm very annoyed it wont be coming out this year for that platform.

Well it's not coming to Xbox for awhile due to the whole, it has to play on XsS problem.

RDR and undead party version coming in a couple weeks.

$50 for 13 year old port, people are chumps and will buy this.

I might. I never bought it the first time, it was just a weekend rental for me and because of that I never played the DLC though I heard good things about it.

Not even remaster, or anything. Just a straight port for $50. Wow.

Oh, weird. They're not even bringing it to PS5 or PC, it's just PS4 and Switch? I guess this game will just never get a PC release. Maybe if they had remastered the first Red Dead Revolver and included it with this port I'd be more interested. I feel like a lot of people that enjoyed Red Dead Redemption probably never played Revolver, so it'd be a new experience and help justify that $50 price.

Rockstar is just as bad as Ninty with pricing these old ass ports.

Its a great game, I got 100% 3 different times. I highly recommend it if you never played before. Do undead nightmare after the main story as it has major spoilers. I might do it again depending on which DLC trophies are added.

Complaints are no MP. So no more MP trophies?

Feeb wrote:

That would be great actually. All the bad trophies were MP related. I didn't care for the MP in this game or RD2, just not my thing. I did like the co-op missions and taking on hideouts with others, so that will be missed. The actual PvP wasn't that fun to me.

If this is a straight port I can see why they would just scrap the MP. It has been a mess for a long time because of hackers ruining the servers. Rockstar would reset the servers and you could play for a few days or even weeks then they would get messed up again. I guess given the way the game is coded and the older tech they couldn't do anything to stop it. Just reboot the server to temporarily fix it.

Yeah I never got any online trophies. Loved the game and wanting to replay it since plat 2.

@PizzaTheHutt The Xbox 360 version emulated with Xenia is probably the closest you'll get to a PC port.

Its a great game, I wonder if they will at least update the controls to RD2 style. Since I just replayed it again last year I'll still probably wait until its $20 or cheaper. But its good enough I'd give it another playthrough.

The "definitive edition" GTA Trilogy was absolutely stellar on PS5/XSX so I'm sure a straight port of RDR to a 7 1/2 year old piece of hardware is going to be amazing.

Id pay $20 if the port ran at 4k60.

Not for PS5 or PC? pfft. I haven't ever played it but loved RDR2 and would love to see the rest of the story. But not at that crap and price.

Maybe Best to play it on Xbox Series X, They made a Xbox One Version GOTY Edition so it has the DLC etc. It was enhanced for the One X. Has to be cheap as old as it is but maybe going up a few bucks soon.

I bought a 19" Sony LCD tv from the 00's and it's really great for 7th gen. PS3 and 360. So I have my little collection of those games. If I wanted to play it I'd buy a nice mint copy for xbox 360 for like $10. If I did NOT have a 360 I would have SOME interest in this game. But my switch backlog is already filled to the brim with great games. No need.

Don't even have to pay full price for the digital version either ($20). You can go to gamestop and get a disc only version of the 360 release for $3 and pop that sucker in to unlock the digital download of the upscale/enhanced version.

Yeah, RDR on X1X and XSX looks really really good via BC.

I will probably get this also, but I need to see massive discounts. I have a feeling it will happen soon enough.

I hope it’s not a port the same way GTA Definitive Edition was.

it is, lazy. That's why there's no Xbox version since it's just a port with nothing fixed/improved in any way
