Topic: The PlayStation Fan Thread

@Anti-Matter Thank you for replying and the recomendations. He is 12 and from the UK so is mostly playing Fortnite and Rocket League, but also enjoys some mariokart and mario party games. He's not interested in all the Bluey, Paw Patrol games anymore, more interested in playing older games now.
However I noted yourself and others talking about Portal Knights some time ago, so we tried that and enjoyed that.
Thanks again.

@dew12333 Hi there, my son is 11 - and something we loved playing together on his XB is "It Takes Two" (winner of "Game of the Year" award 2021!)

Funnily enough - this game has been added to the December roster of free/available game with PS+ Subscription. Definitely give it a whirl.

My kid like Fortnite and Rocket League also, but he had great time for It Takes 2. I actually really enjoyed it as well

Amazing to me that the PS5 Pro makes some games look worse with its ai upscaling. Figured an un-needed console would be useless.

@CJD87 Thank you for your comment. I have been considering getting PS plus, I think he will benefit from having a few games to try. I have looked at It takes 2 but the price had put me off before, if it's free on PS plus then I am sure we we will try it out.
I am confident we will like too as we have enjoyed several co op games, Cuphead, Portal Knights, Cat Quest1&2, Overcooked, Moving out.

@WaveBoy
Looks really cool. This might be my first real PSVR 2 game. Gran Turismo 7 does not count. Thanks.

Haha cool! There is a little surprise if you start the PlayStation 5.

@dew12333 PS+ seems expensive, but the middle tier "Extra" provides such an incredible wealth of games... especially if you're new to the PS ecosystem. So many classics, and plenty of more adult games for yourself

@WaveBoy
Nice, sounds like I really should not miss out on it. I did not know that 90fps eliminates motion doubling. Thanks I will try to keep that in mind, when looking for PSVR2 games.

I do not want to play violent and horror games but I believe you when you say, that it is the greatest PSVR2 experience.

Well I feel old now. Just saw that the Playstation is celebrating its 30th anniversary, that's wild. I remember first seeing it on display at my local Blockbuster video. They had Tekken 2 playing on it and at first I was just confused by it lol. It looked like a Street Fighter type game but the characters were so blocky and moving around the whole arena.

I got one a few months later with Twisted Metal and Suikoden. Alot of good memories with that machine.

Happy 30th Playstation.

@NeonPizza Ehhh, I wouldn’t expect anything on PS5 Pro to look better. A good chunk of games look worse than they do on the base console.

@NeonPizza
You are really informed about this topic, nice. Always a pleasure to read your enthusiastic posts.

How does brightness reduce motion clarity though?

Happy 30th anniversary PlayStation! Thanks for all the great games and memories.

@NeonPizza
The window-like clarity and motion clarity sounds cool. I would like to try the Quest 3.

Question for all of you guys.
Who have at least almost ALL PlayStation machines model and the games ?
I have PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, PS5 and PSP games.
I used my PS2 machines to play both PS2 & PS1 games.
I used my PS3 machine to play PS3 games and a few PS1 games.
I used my PS4 machine to play PS4 games.
I used my PS5 machine to play both PS5 games and certain PS4 games that need PS5 power to get better performance.
And I used my PSP to play PSP games.

@Anti-Matter I had a PS1 back in the day, but stupidly sold it and all the games years ago...possibly to buy a PS2. Still have the PS2, and PS3, skipped the PS4 Gen and considering a PS5. I even bought a broken PSP from eBay a while ago to see if I could fix it...but haven't got around to looking at it yet. I've actually bought a few games for it since, so suppose I'd better get to it soon!

@Anti-Matter
Got the PlayStation 1, 2, 3 slim, 4 Pro and 5 base model but none of the handhelds. I am sure they are cool though.

@dmcc0 @Jhena
Great to see your collection.
The PlayStation machines I have are PS2 Fat USA, PS2 Slim Japan, PS3 Slim, PS4 Slim, PS5 Fat, PSP 3000.
Used to be i have PS1 Fat machine but already modchipped to play pirated PS1 games, but after the machine was broken I stopped playing pirates games after I bought original Old 3DS XL in November 2013.
I still haven't get PS VITA due to almost every PS VITA here in Indonesia are already got modded with Henkaku CFW so to find the OFW machine is really almost impossible.
Also, the games library of PS VITA is really terrible in my opinion compared with PSP and 3DS due to very fewer choice of 3rd party kids games I can choose. But, if I can get PS VITA OFW machine, I can start to get PS VITA games as well but I don't expect I can get until at least 12 PS VITA kids games.

@Anti-Matter
I hope you can find an unmodded Vita and I am glad you decided against pirated games.

Turning on the PS5 yesterday and be met with the old PS1 boot sequence was pretty special.

With Lyin' Jim Ryan out of the chair it seems as though the new Playstation leadership is aiming towards being a little more...human? The trailer for the 30th Anniversary is great. Love how it ends with Bloodborne as the last footage grab. Hinting towards something, perhaps?

@NeonPizza

Eh, it really depends on the game.

Some developers actually utilize music from the game while you hover over the icon in the dashboard.

Dead Space remake goes kind of hard.
