Saw the videos about it a few days ago and promptly enabled it.
Hopefully now the parental controls can actually work as you don’t need to idiotically enter the password every time the kid wants to request a game.

Must agree my major gripe with the game is that the dialogue feels like it’s targeted at a 12 year old.
It’s beautiful but and plays well still but feels cringeworthy every step of the way.

The human mind (or mine at least) prefers further, larger objects over closer, smaller ones. The back row of an imax gives me a better experience than sitting right in front of my TV.
At the moment I'm playing RDR2 on my PC with a 42" TV on my desk, reclining in my ergonomic office chair, and I wish I could play it on the couch in front of the TV instead (if I only bought an XBox to have cross play).
My 42" is at a distance where it occupies the same FoV as my 27" usually does when I game, and bigger and further just feels better. A decent couch is just also SO much better than simply reclining in an office chair.
But if you prefer closer for a better FoV, then that's cool too.

No, Final Fantasy 7 Remake and Rebirth Are Not Coming to Xbox, Ever
Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the recently released second part of the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, won't be coming to rival platforms.Being dubbed a PlayStation console exclusive for one year, many Xbox fans hoped that the beloved remake of the 1997 classic would hit their platform at some point. After all, the game ended up releasing on PC in 2021 as well. Earlier this year, WindowsCentral's Jez Corden said that he had tentative evidence that there are discussions about an Xbox port of the game.
According to Sony's Sony Interactive Entertainment's VP of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives, Christian Svensson, however, both 2020's Remake and Rebirth have been secured as console exclusives forever. Svensson said as much in an interview with The Washington Post. We've included some parts from the interview below (behind paywall):
Securing “Remake” and “Rebirth” as console exclusives is a feather in the PlayStation cap. It’s part of recognizing the original game’s importance as a defining game for the PlayStation experience, said Christian Svensson, vice president of second- and third-party content ventures and strategic initiatives at Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Additionally, the article reads:
Svensson said console exclusivity was mutually desired when the remake project fired up.

PS5 Pro leak reveals specs that sound more like PS6 alongside AI upscaling tech
Some tasty PS5 Pro specs have leaked out into the wild, and the console is allegedly set to feature its own upscaling tech. Dubbed Spectral Super Resolution, the tool will seemingly work similarly to the likes of DLSS and FSR, but Sony apparently thinks it’ll produce better results than AMD’s GPU feature.In a new video, reliable leaker Moore’s Law is Dead spills the PS5 Pro beans with a presentation document. According to the slide, the system’s GPU supposedly boasts 33.5 teraflops of power – just under three times that of the current PS5 chip. Codenamed Trinity, the Pro model is also described as being “45% faster than standard PS5,” with ray tracing performance coming in at between two to four times faster, which is a massive uplift to say the least.

Moore's Law is Dead does not have the best track record afaik but this leak has now been corroborated by Tom Henderson, so yea, probably real:
PS5 Pro Specs Leak are Real, Releasing Holiday 2024
The leaked PS5 Pro specs leaked earlier today are real and the PlayStation 5 is still tentatively targeting a 2025 holiday release.

Now if they could just release Ghosts of Tsushima 2 along with it...

Will any of you upgrade? Personally I'll wait for the PS6 and XBox X-Men X-Xero.

Depends if we'll get Pro enhancements for existing games.
If it's in 2 years they most likely yes.
I don't see a pro launching in December 2025, and a PS6 launching before 2028

I was really excited for the Pro, but I don't know. The CPU seems mostly the same for backwards compatibility so any CPU limited titles are still going to experience the same limitations.
There's only so much that upscaling can do but from what I see, it will make those 1080p~1440p/60 titles (helldivers 2, FF VII Rebirth) run much closer to 1800p~2160p if the developers release patches.
The price is key. Am I really prepared to sell my old PS5 for what, R9k at best, for a PS5 Pro that's probably coming in at the R17k mark? Ehhh, I don't know yet.

I made that mistake last gen, won't be doing it again. You lose money for little tangible benefit, because they still have to support the original console.
And as we saw they were still building for original PS4 for 3 years into the current gen, before we started seeing games exclusive to the current gen.
So PS5 should be good for a while...

To be honest they aren’t missing much.
It’s the most juvenile experience I’ve had in a long time. It was cool when I was barely in High School but it just doesn’t fit into a modern adult context.
Looks great and plays moderately well but the nostalgia goggles are required to make it through the cringe fest that is the dialogue and story.

For me it’s 100% dependant on what it can do for the PSVR2.
Otherwise I agree fully.

Once DF talks about it, it's real.
Spec wise Sony are doing the same as they did for the PS4 pro. Having sworn not to get one last gen I ended up getting one on special and enjoyed the little bump that came with it so for me the offset was worth it.
What it means for gamers is that frame limited games may receive a bump from 30 to 60fps and perhaps others a bump to 8k res. Don’t expect more and don’t upgrade if you don’t see yourself benefitting from the bump.
