Topic: The PlayStation Fan Thread

Over the past few weeks my PS4 has had more & more trouble connecting to Wi-Fi (like it wouldn't connect at all or with a less than 5mbs connection until I went through the process of re-setting up it's internet settings and it would get an 80-90mbs connection), but today nothing I did would get it to properly connect (it would always fail out connection before even getting a reading on the connection speed). Any idea what's going on?

The smart TV it's hooked up to doesn't have a problem connecting to the Wi-Fi, and neither do the TVs or Switch (which has notoriously weak Wi-Fi range) that are upstairs, so it's likely not an issue with the router or Wi-Fi itself.

Yikes.

George Cacioppo, a Senior VP Engineer for PlayStation Network, was just busted by a pedo sting. He was even wearing a PS5 shirt when it happened.

How long you think he's got before he's fired and they distance themselves as quickly as possible?

My PS3 games collection will be 40 games once my game order, Up PS3 arrived.
Gosh... 40 PS3 games within 2 years since i started to collect PS3 games again in December 2019 after i sold all my PS3 games in year 2015 due to financial crisis.

This looks great and I hope it will be great when it comes out for PS4 and PS5

Yaaay....!!! 😆😆😆
Another Kiddie game by OG Games for PS4 and Switch !

@CactusMan But will it have gyro aiming?

@CactusMan
Play some Eurobeat songs (Beat the Rising Sun, Deja Vu) while drifting the car then you will get Initial D vibe. 😆

LRG announced the Castlevania Requem collection ... another 179$ thrown ...

Is that with the redone version of Symphony of the Night, though, @Zuljaras ....? Where they redid all the best bits?

Didn't they reveal PSVR 2, or was a I dreaming?

@VoidofLight Apparently. There's a push square article about it, and they teased a Horizon-themed VR experience to go with it.

Yep, @VoidofLight & @Ralizah .... There's their official blog about it as being the most authoritative source

@BruceCM Yep unfortunately there is no "Die monster! You don't belong in this world!"

It is the PSP version.

But still Simon's Quest and SotN made me fall in love with gaming!

@BruceCM Huh. I never really got interesting PSVR, but it's nice that it exists for those who liked the original!

Yeah & maybe some will want to get into it now that didn't before, too, @VoidofLight ....

Horizon Call of the Mountain or whatever it's called appears to be a larger budget game than we've seen on the first PSVR, and that's good. Astro Bot was a highlight, but beyond that it was a bunch of smaller games and/or new IPs. Having a popular franchise like Horizon be a launch title (?) would be a huge win.

@Octane
If Half Life Alyx is announced I'm in for a PS5

@Kayvoo They've been releasing quite a few games on Steam lately, instead of just the Epic Game Store, so maybe that's part of the deal. Hopefully..!

Half Life Alyx, Horizon VR, Astro Bot, these kind of games would make me very interested in their next VR unit. The specs also seem to be a big improvement. Especially if they can apply foveated rendering. And of course it's running on the PS5 instead of the 4. I'm curious to see how much of an improvement it will be.

As far as wired VR headsets go, the specs indicate it's top shelf all the way.

My issue is more that, having owned a PSVR, having owned an HTC Vive, I'm just not interested in VR beyond the initial curiosity which was sated long ago. Don't get me wrong, it was super impressive the first time I tried it, but it just didn't last. Once that wow factor wore off, it became a cumbersome way of playing less entertaining games, and I just stopped using it.

The one game I'd like to play is Half Life Alyx, but I'm not gonna buy a $1,000 VR set for one game. At least... not for that one game. It looks great, but I'm not really a Half Life diehard. Maybe if it was Portal VR, then I would.

But back to PSVR2. Again, as far as wired slave VR headsets go, it looks great. It'll finally address the horrible Move controllers and super pixelated images, and only has one USB-C cord connecting instead of industrial size cables. So that's nice. I've just been down this road before. Drop $500, get it all set up, use it for a few weeks, then let it collect dust for years. Try to sell it to Gamestop and they won't even take it. Not even the Quest 2 was able to convince me to give VR another go.

I'm glad it exists for the VR fans, and addresses the biggest issues with the last one. And, I'm glad to see them pursuing less traditional gaming markets. Thar's very good to see. Maybe one day I'll grab one on a sale, if the price is right.
