Forums - Sony Discussion - PlayStation Nation |OT| Playing Astro Bot on the Horizon Until Dawn

Finished The Stanley Parable. Heard a lot about it so I'm glad it came to PS+ to check out. I'll say this that I am glad I had the chance to experience it.
The game comprises 2 parts: the original and the 'extra content', if that's what you want to call it.

I think the original release is pretty interesting, and I enjoyed the metacommentary on narration in games. There's not a lot to it though. But it was mildly amusing and thought-provoking. The extra content, on the other hand, didn't grab me as much. The metacommentary for it is far too on the nose, and while the game as a whole is very much an experiment in you choosing to stop whenever you want, the added content feels bloated and the humour didn't really click with me as much.

I suppose if the extra content had something particularly interesting to say, it would've been better. But what it comments on feels like a large disconnect from actual reality. Or perhaps, that's the point.

Check it out, even if only for a few run throughs (they're pretty short).

i also finished Dead Space Mobile (vita mod). Cool game and a nice mini DS experience. Would have made for a fantastic DLC for the new DS Remake (which I will get around to playing some time). Too bad it never got a native Vita release, could have been a special, albeit short game. 

It's basically Dead Space, but the melee attack works in your favour a lot more. The story perspective is the most interesting part, but you don't really learn a lot about the protagonist to care aobut their story goes, unfortunately. But if you want more DS, you should def check it out.

Looking at FS4 previews it feels like Sony may have shot out the PS5 Pro a year too early

I don't think it would've mattered much. FSR4 is part of RDNA4 architecture, and with the PS5 Pro using what Cerny described as somewhere in between RDNA 2 and 3, Sony would've had to have completely swapped out the graphics API that's already in the PS5, which would inevitably increased the cost of the PS5 Pro. Which was already absurd for a console as is.

Focusing on PSSR I think was the smart move to make and build on.

They mean FSR4, AMDs DLSS magic sauce. 

Sounds like it is quite a bit closer to where DLSS is at, but still not quite as good.

I don't think it will ever properly catch DLSS because AMD would then start to price their cards to be more in line with Nvidia, which overly relying on AI tech has massively backfired in Nvidia's face this gen with the PC community. Little to no actual horsepower improvement gen over gen, barely any improvement on VRAM for nearly a decade except on the super high-end, yet you're paying twice to three times the premium for their cards because of the AI tech.

AMD has been always been on the more budget-friendly side of tech, and if they try to properly compete with Nvidia, then that's gonna have bad consequences on console hardware pricing in the future. Which is probably why Sony is opting to prioritize their own AI tech.

Nah they did fine for the console timeframe we are in. Project Amethyst will take care of next gen for Sony. 



Sony just announced a TLoU Dualsense.

Liked the color scheme but why did they make the symbols asymmetrical?

Would love a TLoU controler, very likely to pass on this one, tho, it already bothers me way too much looking at that, lol.



Anyone else playing Split Fiction? I gotta wait till my roommate is home to play but I am SO MEGA EXCITED
