Who needs a more powerful 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5? Sony’s premium console is already an impressive piece of kit, making games like 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Ghost of Tsushima and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Horizon: Forbidden West look stunning whe😼n hooked up to a 4K TV. They allow for the graphical fidelity and framerates that console players have long dreamed of, and the PS5’s power comes close to a gaming PC’s in many regards. So why would we need a better one?
First and foremost, so Sony can sell more plastic spaceships to sit under your telly for well over half a grand. That’s why we’re getting another PS5, that’ll be why we get a PS6, and that’s why the PS5 Pro will be on𒁃 every kid’s Christmas list either this year or in 2025.
Secondly, there are somehow still improvements to be made. Games consoles are always struggling to keep up with the visual fidelity of modern triple-A games, games that take a decade to create and cost billions of dollars to produce. I’ll wager that the base PS5 will struggle with Grand Theft Auto 6, thanks to the sheer amount of stuff Rockstar will cram into the game a𝓰longside the hardware-taxing realism that comes assumed with any triple-A release t🐓hese days.
But none of that is the reason that the PS5 Pro is coming at th𝓡e perfect time. The real, most important reason is that I want to play Astro Bot, and I don’t have a PS5 to play it on. I realised shortly into this console generation that I didn’t need both a PlayStation and an Xbox, so I picked the console ꦺwith Game Pass on it. That’s fared me well so far, and I’ve played through dozens of games included with my subscription.
However, PlayStation’s exclusives always get me. That’s Sony’s primary business practice: forcing you to buy a PS5 s🌱o you can play games you can’t play anywhere else. It’s predatory, but it works. And while God of War: Ragnarok or Final Fantasy 16 weren’t enough to force me to pull the trigger, Astro Bot might well be.
PlayStation exclusives have increasingly been released on PC, and while I’m usually happy to wait to play games, writing about them fo♔r a job means I have to stay on the ball with new releases. People just don’t want to read about a game that came out on PlayStation a year ago.
PlayStation’s unlikely mascot was the face of a masterclass of a tech demo during my brief period as a PS5 owner. No other game introduced a console so perfectly, no other game walked the tightrope of nostalgia and modernity so well, and no other game utilised the DualSense in such clever ways. The soundtrack alone deserves plaudits, because how do you create a certified banger out of the abbreviatio🍌n ‘CPU’?
Now promising a fully fledged adventure, Astro Bot is hands down the most exciting PlayStation announcement this generation. You can keep your 100-hour RPGs and hold onto your beloved classics. I want little robots with neon eyes wandering through levels based on PlayStation’s iconic mascots, and I want it now.
I don’t think there’d be much point in buying a PS5 Pro if you alreadyඣ own a PS5. Whatever marketing shenanigans Sony pulls out, no matter how much better it says the s𝓰ouped-up console will be, it won’t be worth it, even with the improvements in performance. But for someone without a PS5, it’s the perfect jumping-on point.
We don’t technically know if the PS5 Pro actually exists as we’ve only heard a couple of rumours, let alone know a release date. If Sony could get its turbo-skates on and shadow drop it with Astro Bot, that would be perfect for me, specifically. But if that seems unrealistic (because it absolutely is), then 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Chr🍰istmastime s🌺eems like a more sensible guess. Whenever you’re ready, Sony. Just give𝔉 me a little time to save 🙈up.
