freamon,

Replayed Uncharted 4 for the millionth time. Now on The Lost Legacy. Not enjoying it as much (it’s harder, for one thing). Interesting to see the developments that would go into The Last of Us 2 though (e.g. experiments with more open-world levels, and the attempt to redeem a character that’s previously been portrayed as a villain).

Get the PS5 now or wait for the pro?

I’m looking to get back into console gaming. PlayStation has been around for most of my life and I always played on that console. I am conflicted if I should wait for the PS5 PRO or just go get the PS5 now because what would be the net benefit of waiting versus getting a console now. What do you all think about this conundrum?...

freamon,

I think it’s difficult to know where we really are in the release cycle for this console, as it’s been disrupted so much by initial unavailability and COVID. Normally, we’d be due a Pro version this year, but it could be this year, it could be next year, it could be never.

Last generation I was happy with a standard PS4 until I played Control, and could see that it was struggling. I’m not sure there’s any PS5 games that are known to stress the hardware, and would do anything with the extra resources.

I’d buy one now if I were you. Worse case scenario: you’ll want to trade it in for an upgrade in a year or two.

freamon,

I haven’t yet got a PS5 but I’ll likely buy the upgrade from the website, for the sake of a tenner.

Interesting that they’re advertising it now how they probably should have done initially (as a game with 2 protagonists).
