Making the trigger harder to press is just not helpful, in my opinion. Also, the clicking thing that can happen... noisy.

To be able to feel the difference between braking on the limit and locking your brakes up is helpful.

Too bad racing games as a genre is practically dead on consoles outside of Forza and Gran Turismo.

Yeah, I could see that racing games may be different, when you're meant to be feathering the trigger. But, mostly I notice it for gun simulation.

it's like the "HD rumble" for Switch. Or even 3D on sure a few companies really do an outstanding job with it. But it never was or will be widely used unfortunately. That Astro's Play room demo game was fantastic. I want to see more. Would love if the company who made that made a full fledged 3D platformer game. I remember rumblings about that back then.

I like it with bow mechanics as in HFW Otherwise take it or leave it I don’t care.

I like it in fifa to feel the player’s fatigue when sprinting

They did make a full Astro 3D platformer on PSVR. It's probably my favorite 3D platformer of all time. They'd be stupid to not make a follow up on PSVR2 at some point. In fact, if they do announce it I'll buy a PSVR2 that same day (if I don't already have one by then).

Yea Astrobot was to PSVR what Mario 64 was to N64

I was completely blown away by Astrobot. I'm not even typically into platformers but it was easily one of the best games I played last gen. Shame nothing else I played in VR came remotely close to matching it.

Yeah there were times I literally just stopped and appreciated how much pure fun I was having playing it, just sheer childlike joy lol

my next best PSVR experience was Trover Saves the Universe, in a different way
I also enjoyed Farpoint with the Aim controller

I've mostly only been playing my PS5 with the Sony 3D audio headset lately, and I am absolutely smitten after using it consistently. I like the XSX and GP for our family, but the Sony headset really is a game-changer for me and has shaped my wanting to play on PS5 more-so than anything else. Which surprises me because I always favor graphics.

I've had some nice tvs but the audio is never all that great. And soundbars have been nice but none of them has had the clarity, direction, and quality of the sony headset.

The adaptive triggers are ok, I like it sometimes but am not sure it needs to be carried over to the next gen.

I use my Pulse 3D headset on my phone and PC as well now. They don't give the 3D audio like the PS5 has, but the bass in them is better than the previous headphones I was using for listening to Spotify and YouTube.

I still prefer my Arctis Nova for PS5 and Series X. It seems to handle 3D audio just as well as Pulse but just sounds better overall, plus it does Xbox and Switch, PC, and simultaneous BT for calls or discord.

The Pulse is definitely nice tho and especially if you only use PS5

Same! I use it on my PC every day. I don't use it on my PS5 much but I really should. I used it for both Hellblade and Resident Evil Village and it's a pretty unreal experience. It really elevates those games to a whole new level. I think I may give it a shot with Tetris Effect which I've been meaning to replay.

New Like a Dragon game announced with a new story and gameplay trailer with a November release date. I’m happy to see Kiryu return and with the traditional beat ‘em up style gameplay the series is known for. I thought they were abandoning this gameplay style to favor the Yakuza 7 turn based system but it looks like they’re doing a bit of both and Infinite Wealth is going to remain turn based. Sweet.

RDR looks pretty sharp. I have No issues with this. Enjoying it.

You paid the blood money?!

People like me create bad ports like this.

You've doomed us all!

If it was on PC I'd be getting it. I just don't wanna play it on a console.

This really surprised me but in 2023 there are still PlayStation 2 games with active online communities.

I don't think SOCOM will ever die

Did y’all see this?:

Sony bought Audeze. I did not see that coming.

https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/24/23844430/sony-p...

Never even heard of Audeze.

Audeze nuts

They make some really high-end planar magnet headphones (like the $4500 LCD-5). They also make some of the highest-rated gaming headsets (like the Maxwell). The interesting thing is that it’s the PlayStation division that bought them, so I bet their gaming headsets are about to get a lot better.

It seems like everyone hates this, but I don't know. I'm kind of interested in it. $200 seems affordable. The screen looks nice/big for a handheld and the gamepad handles seem perfect.

I’m intrigued by this PS Portal. Might be good for playing on the go with strong wifi similar to the Vita.

I just use my Steam Deck for remote play with my PS5/XsX as well as using it for Steam as well

Really? Didn’t know Steam deck was capable of streaming console games in remote play. Good to know.

It just feels kind of pointless. You can't play on a plane. Can't play in various places that won't have a wifi connection and there's going to be a lot of latency no matter what.

I don't see this doing very well at all.

I'm still confused about that thing. I thought people were originally saying you have to be on the same Wi-Fi network as the console to use it, meaning you wouldn't be able to use it outside of your house?

edit: I guess not, that video does confirm you don't have to be on the same network. I'm still not sold on it though. I'd probably rather use that money towards a Steam Deck.

Do you know any good guides for this? I never could get Game Pass to work on my Steam Deck, and I can remote play PS5 to an extent, but, for many games, certain buttons just don't work (or can't be assigned to do what I need them to do).

Kommie wrote:

Remote is pretty shoddy on almost everything I’ve tried. I’d buy this if the connection is solid.

Gamepass works with something called Greenlight and Ps5 is Chiaki4deck. Chiaki4deck seems very hit or miss for a lot of people. Lots if tinkering. I still get some green ans white artifacts but it's mostly 85% fine. There are plenty of guides on this online

PSPlay for android is the best I’ve used so far. Chiaki is ok on windows device but never used it on steam deck.

So I can play my PS5 on the portal, and also all the PS4 games that I own on PS5 right? For $200 it's not bad. I always prefer portables and it might be nice to play it on a small screen. It wakes up the PS5 so that's pretty cool.

My only issue with it is no Bluetooth for the headsets I already own. There is a new “Sony connect” that makes you get a new set for wireless function. And then a headphone port?!

Ps plus or whatever it’s called has a ton of content that works on these too.

Thanks man.
