Full PS5 reveal

Basically put. Not quite as powerful as the Xbox Series X as expected, but faster SSD, "revolutionary" new 3D audio.

I'll still likely get a PS5. Wish the hard drive was bigger even though you can upgrade or get an external HDD. Backwards compatibility is good as i have a shit ton of PS4 games, some that i definitely will like to replay at times. I know we haven't seen the console yet, but the Xbox looks horrible in my opinion.

RE3 I can't wait to play, another nostalgia trip just like RE2. Both games i played the hell out of on the original Playstation.

@Hacky McAxe the new NVIDIA Shield is finally being sold here, what's the main difference between the two models? From what I can tell the pro just has the extras if you want it for gaming?

Also what is Plex? It looks to only run on the Pro version?

Pro has more storage and functionality. Good if you want to plug in usb devices like a logitech wireless keyboard and mouse. Also slightly better for gaming.

Plex is one of the best streaming services there is for local content. Basically download TV shows and movies then put them on your computer. Set up a server, stream stuff to your nvidia shield. PS4 also has Plex so you can just use your PS4 for that.

Plex is free. There's a paid version with more functionality but the free version works great.

Okay doesn't seem like I need the pro, the $350 price tag does feel pretty hefty so might just go with the standard model and invest in an SD card if I need the extra storage. As long as this can handle excessive use then I'll/ just go pick it up this weekend and finally tell Foxtel to fuck themselves.

Started playing through Doom Eternal. It's awesome. Little buggy though but nothing major. Also melee sucks. It does nothing. Like the original Doom.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

GTA San Andreas PC, heavily modded with new cars, new weapons, textures + effects. This and Vice City are the best.

Video game logic: make the video game look real life... and make real life look like a video game.

haha that's mad with the Underground 2 overlay. Underground 2 on PS2 was a top game. Had so many options for modding the cars.

Started The Witcher again...don't know what the fuck I last did in this game ffs

Haha, yeah I hate that when you play a game and then leave it for a bit and come back to it not knowing where you were up to or what was going on. I think i also did that with The Witcher and started it again. I think I've played through it 3 or 4 times now.

I originally played about 5 hours of it then took an extended break. Went back to it and had no clue what I was doing so I started again right from the start then played straight through.

Yeah I've seen it. A chick i know (well online friends) was involved in it. She's at the start of the video Linzey Rae the vocalist of The Anchor. It's pretty cool video though.

I think I was trying to root Triss but now I'm going to a wake with Yen ffs.

I rooted Triss, went to the wake with Yen then rooted Yen, then ended up with Triss in the end.

Are there any other rootable characters?

 

[Hacky McAxe]

Are there any other rootable characters?

I'm pretty sure I rooted at least two others (one early in the game, one in the DLC)

Not as many as Assassin's Creed Odyssey though. I rooted pretty much everything in that game.
