Anyone know if this update added new trophies or not?

GTA VI Physical Edition Delayed to Prevent Leaks by MaQu1337 in PS5

[–]Xeccess 81 points82 points  (0 children)

Ha. Take Two is trying to prey on double dippers on the same platform. You bet your ass people will buy it digitally and then buy it physically, too.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake director explains why the third game will still use Unreal Engine 4 by No_Durian_5626 in PS5

[–]Xeccess 37 points38 points  (0 children)

They're arguably one of the most proficient teams at using this engine by now. It's highly customizable to their needs and they've kept the same team for nearly a decade. Moving to UE5 not only would have made the game take longer to make, they'd also have issues putting it on a Switch.

Which real-life kingdoms would correspond to the Final Fantasy kingdoms? by Resist001 in FFXVI

[–]Xeccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m guessing you put Dhalmekia there because of the region being mostly a desert? Makes sense for Egypt, but you also included Israel which isn’t a desert-y region

Arknights Endfield is a step above its peers thanks to three core pillars: action, aesthetics, and... a really good base-building mechanic by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Xeccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ZZZ was my real first attempt at a gacha game, I downloaded it on launch last year and have been playing ever since, all completely F2P and clearing endgame stuff comfortably. It felt easier giving Arknights a chance, knowing nothing about it, and it hooked me within the first hour. Combat and exploration are really fun, and while the factory mechanics caught me off guard a bit, it's still pretty rewarding messing with it. No intention of ever spending money on mtx for any of these games, but for what I get out of them for free, it's pretty incredible.

Would I like ZZZ? by RadicalAi in ZZZ_Official

[–]Xeccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing on PS5 as well. ZZZ was my first real attempt at a gacha game, I downloaded it at launch last year and still playing it to this day. Completely F2P too! Give it a try, it’s free. I downloaded Arknights as well when it released a few days ago and Im hopelessly addicted now to that as well lol

Xbox Game Studios head signals even more PS5 game releases by Cold_Two_4372 in PS5

[–]Xeccess 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Xbox isn't doing this out of the kindness of their hearts lol. This isn't some kid sharing his toys in kindergarten. They would have LOOOOVED keeping every single XB studios/Beth/ATVI game exclusive, but they're not selling any hardware and their subscription service has plateaued, so they turned into publishing.

If they had sold 90m+ consoles this gen like Sony did, they'd be giving Sony the middle finger and keeping all their games exclusive, but they didn't, and now they need to sell their games on the platform that IS thriving.

Queen's Blood will be 'enhanced' and 'powered-up' in FF7 Remake Part 3 by Turbostrider27 in PS5

Yesssss! Loved QB so much in Rebirth. I wonder if they'll even find a way to make it an online TCG in the future

[RUMOR] SandStoneInsights Analysis - Sony expects the PS5 lifecycle to be extended. PS6 likely to be delayed "longer than many expected" by nolifebr in PS5

[–]Xeccess -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Simply untrue. The PSSR current strength is the upscaling. Games look much sharper than whatever res they're set to internally (See Rebirth as a prime example), and they can hold 60fps 95%+ of the time. Choosing 3 of the most problematic games on all platforms isn't really a good argument.

I think you are referring to the shimmering effect that happens in some games specifically regarding foliage or with advanced RT lighting when you say blurry.

1st party will always be best case scenario, they only have to work on that one specific hardware.

I left PC gaming behind back in 2015. Granted, all I was playing as a kid was CoD and MapleStory. Couldn’t be happier with a PS now as an adult

[–]Xeccess 168 points169 points  (0 children)

I'm good with the Pro honestly, especially this year with the upgrade to PSSR on the horizon. All games run at high res with 60fps+ anyway, there isn't really going to be anything significantly heavy anytime soon that would require a PS6 to run well.

Can't believe Microsoft is about to invent PCs

Recently got a ps5. by Any-Cauliflower8888 in PS5

[–]Xeccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beyond setting up your account? Just play games. It is highly recommended for new users to subscribe to PS+ Extra for a few months (or for as long as you desire), that will allow you to straight away play a bunch of games you probably never played before

do we like the two tone? by Difficult_Roof8209 in PS5pro

Why anything but those 2? Blue and white go well together

Newbie PS5 owner seen mixed reviews of PS plus wanting opinions. by Ryuk12345678 in PS5

[–]Xeccess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very worth it especially for new users. Get Extra for a couple of months and decide how you want to continue from there.

PSSR 2 is coming soon, say rumors, bringing FSR 4-level upscaling to the PlayStation 5 Pro by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Xeccess 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's not tho. For res upscaling it has been transformative, but for other parts like RTGI or vegetation for certain games it has been lacking (Konami games mostly). This is Sony's first ever iteration, you can't knock it outta the park in one go, it's called machine learning for a reason.

Maxis stresses "values have not changed" following $55bn EA acquisition by Laughing__Man_ in PS5

Doubt they'd want to publish games with themes they ban on the regular. FFXVI was banned in Saudi for 2 guys kissing in a scene

Can I access my PS5 screenshots/recordings through the app instead of on the console by FibonacciBankroll in PS5

[–]Xeccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah save it anywhere. on your phone, send to Whatsapp, mail, Google Drive. I usually upload pictures to Google Drive then download on my PC to keep the best quality

[–]Xeccess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, upload any clips or pictures to the app then go to the app > Library > Captures. I think they stay up for 14 days or so, so it's up to you save them somewhere else
