I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Sony has had one of the most ridiculous weeks in gaming history, shutting down Concord two weeks after launch, an unprecedented cratering of a new release. Then they released GOTY frontrunner Astro Bot the day Concord officially died.
The memes that came out after the fact was the sheer zooming in on detail that Cerny had to do in the presentation to see small background differences like the sharpness of cars in the background of a Spider-Man scene or the far-away crowd in a Ratchet and Clank scene. The fundamental sales point here was that performance mode and fidelity mode are moving closer together with better framerates sacrificing less visuals, but there were caveats.
The gap between PS4 and PS4 Pro, the previous mid-gen upgrade, was easily more significant than what we’re seeing here with the PS5 Pro, and at a lower cost too. Even adjusting for inflation, depending on how you calculate it, the PS5 Pro is either the first or second most expensive console Sony has ever made, and definitely first if you consider that its disc drive and stand are sold separately when those were things included in past consoles. It’s also $250 more than the current digital PS5.
There was just no coherent case made here for an upgrade. The differences shown in the comparisons were very minor, and they were all running on old games. Asking $700 for a console when those were supposedly the optimal examples to show off is beyond a tall order.
Sony showed off a system in a way that demonstrates no one actually needs it. And I am not sure how many people evenOur community is about connecting people through open and thoughtful conversations. We want our readers to share their views and exchange ideas and facts in a safe space.
