PS5 Playstation 5 - Articles, accessories and everything else

The new Discord integration is really nice and the way it's setup I get the impression it's going to eventually replace the existing PS group chats. The cross platform audio quality doesn't seem the greatest though but I don't know if that's because our server isn't boosted but it sounds worse than usual. My previous Destiny clan's server was fully boosted with max audio quality and I remember the audio quality between PC and Xbox, and even the few on Discord the previous PS5 to phone connection, was far better, even before we boosted it.

Lastly all it needs is share screen integration like I believe Xbox already has? We share screen to each other a lot in the PS5 group so it's a bummer we lose that when using the Discord chat.

Forza Horizon 5 rumoured to be the next Xbox title to make its way over to PS.

Indy is coming to PS5 next year MS might as well go all in as a 3rd party publisher.

They are struggling to get gamers to sign up to game pass which is their main source of cash flow plus no one is buying their hardware.

I have gamepass, but use it on PC. It's good for testing out games to see if I like them before buying on PS for platinuming lol

Any recommendations for an external hd for ps5 or just anything will do? Any size limits? What's the best size to get?

8 TB is the limit.

These are great HDD options. https://www.jbhifi.com.au/search?query=seagae one touch

I’d suggest choosing a 4/5 TB.

Thank you very much.

I presume they are just plug and play?

It is.

Even if you have a HDD with PS4 games on it and you’ve just purchased a PS5, it’s still plug and play. No need to format the drive.

I don't think this will be enough of an upgrade to warrant a purchase this time around. Might pick it up if its on a nice sale or my ps5 dies but I wont be in any rush.

The latest rumours have a much beefier GPU than what was first believed but I think it's fair to still remain dubious with a marginal CPU upgrade when more games are CPU bound at the moment.

I jumped on the PS4 Pro just because but later on wondered if it was worthwhile because there just wasn't enough games (that I played anyway) with Pro upgrades to justify it. I won't be buying into any PS5 Pro so quickly.

 

[SnakeMan86]

Digital only? This would be the killer for me. Forking out money for a slight upgrade.. plus $20 for each game release

 

[aussiedude]

They will prob just make the 1 SKU and digital only but let you buy the disc drive add on if you want physical

 

[dwwaino]

Yeah I think there would be an external disc drive add-on. That way they only have to produce one version.

 

[dwwaino]

$119 for a standard controller? Stuff me.

What dis? PS5 Pro announcement?

What dis? PS5 Pro announcement?

Yeah, there's an unlisted video on their youtube channel titled PS5 Pro

 

[dwwaino]

Hopefully they announce some games to launch along with/shortly after the PS5 Pro. It feels like that's what they need to build some hype for it because just from the pages I frequent hype for new tech seems at an all time low.

PS5 Pro Took Just 19 Months from Prototype to Release Without Missing Deadlines, Says Insider

According to Tom Henderson, the making of the PS5 Pro took just 19 months from prototype to release without skipping any deadline.

• PSSR is an ML-enhanced version of Temporal Anti-Aliasing Upscaling (TAAU) that requires inputs similar to NVIDIA DLSS or AMD FSR and fully supports High Dynamic Range (HDR) pipelines. It also does not require per-game training like the latest version of DLSS

Oh no. Please, no. No more TAA or temporal anything. I can smear Vaseline on my screen on my own if I want thanks.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Hopefully they show some demos running.

There is also rumored to be a GTA 6 PS5 Pro Bundle coming next year if the game doesn't get delayed

Question is will I need a new tv to take full advantage of the pro.

Question is will I need a new tv to take full advantage of the pro.

If you've got a TV with HDMI 2.1 that already utilises all the current PS5 features then there is nothing the Pro can offer that you won't currently have. The main things are 4K 120hz display with VRR (especially for games with 40fps modes) and HDR.
