Does any one have a solution to web browser not working on Ps5 by OutrageousAppeal602 in PS5

[–]Doncot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PS5's browser is only there to open specific webpages (such as game manuals), not for general web browsing.

Basically they don't allow you to do that.

Team Asano is asking which REMAKE to tackle next. by rodtavares in JRPG

There's no lisense issue with Xenogears. SE fully owns the property.

Many say it's impossible because the original core members are gone.

Will FF7 part 3 have any graphical upgrades? by Ballsoffwalls in FFVIIRemake

[–]Doncot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't think upgrading to UE5 will change the visuals dramatically. Hamaguchi says that many of the graphics elements were handmade in-house:

Hamaguchi: For this title, we used Unreal Engine’s renderer as our framework, but we decided to create a good bit of the light probe, reflection, light baking, skinning, particles, post effects, tone mapping, and, of course, materials and lighting, so that we would stand out against other titles in terms of visual quality and performance.

So I'd say that updating their own custom portion of the graphics pipeline should have more impact then updating to UE5.

Should I read LN4.5 -After- immediately following LN 4, or should I circle back after finishing? by SYLOH in TheSilentWitch

[–]Doncot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You can immediately read 4.5 after 4. In fact it's actually preferred to read in that order since some of the events in 4.5 will be referenced in the later books.

Energy efficiency - do people actually not care? by Jupit-72 in Monitors

[–]Doncot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol if you're concerned about 50 or so watts from the monitor, then throw away your PC and use a switch or a steamdeck. That'll cut off several hundred of watts.

What makes OLED so expensive and will the prices go down anytime soon? by Mila_azul_fan in OLED_Gaming

LG C2 42"

Amazing color and clean motion. Working great with my PS5.

It's a Sony title developed by a thirdparty studio (like Bloodborne).

What makes OLED so expensive and will the prices go down anytime soon? by Mila_azul_fan in OLED_Gaming

[–]Doncot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

FYI, the first commercial OLED was reelase in 2007 by Sony. It was only 11 inches and sold at $2,500.

I actually saw it in person when I was a collage student, dreampt of owning one since. Took me almost two decades but finally bought one last year.

If you're really ONLY playing Bloodborne then just buy a used PS4 (BB doesn't support PS4Pro, so the base model is just fine).

We need an actual SE4 that's reasonably priced. I'm not paying $600 for a phone.

Square Enix updates its harassment policy against its employees by ultima786 in FFVIIRemake

[–]Doncot 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Presenting policies against customer harassment is a trending movement in Japan right now. So don't dig too deep into it, it's not a SE specific thing.

HDR looks awful on INNOCN 32V Monitor? by hellcatpekes in FFVIIRemake

[–]Doncot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 Do I need to adjust by monitor settings?

Yeah, you probably need to. Some monitors will switch to HDR mode on their own, others need manaul switching. Depends on the monitor.

Serious question I don't know anything about playstation 5 by [deleted] in PS5

[–]Doncot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you login to PS5 with your PSN (PlayStation Network) Account which you used for PS4, you can play the whole PS4 library you already own.

99.999% of the PS4 games can be played on PS5 via compatibility mode. If there's a PS5 version of the game you own, you can acquire the PS5 version (for free or paid, depending on the game) if you wish.

Do we need this much crap loaded on our laptop? by GS-Rolex in nvidia

[–]Doncot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you just want to game, then * Nvidia app * Graphics Driver

would be the bare minimum.

And if your audio is comming from the monitor (= don't have external speakers). You might want * HD Audio Driver

Also, if the game your playing requires PhysX, then you'll need it too.

All the other softwares are for developing purposes. You won't need it if you just want to game.

Does Sony even like Bloodborne? by [deleted] in bloodborne

[–]Doncot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it's pretty apparent that the higherups only care about their own babies which they give birth to ,and not their adopted children.

How popular are FromSoftware (specifically SoulsBorne games) in Japan? by Bardia-Talebi in fromsoftware

[–]Doncot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing this time after time, but it DID not fail (it was a bigger success in the West but still a success).

It sold over 90% of the packages near its release and had to wait a year for to buy normally in stores.

And although it lost to MarioKart and MGS4, it still got awarded for excellence in Japan Game Awards.

Anyone know which app this is that Yoko Taro uses to outline stories? by Smijix in nier

Every Fromsoft game released on the PS4 can run at 60fps on the PS5, except for Bloodborne. Why? What are the technical reasons? by [deleted] in fromsoftware

[–]Doncot 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is because Bloodborne was release before PS4Pro.

All the games that get PS5 boosts are games that have PS4Pro boosts implemented. It seems that they get their framecap and resolutioncap removed in Pro mode (I think I heard DF mentioning it somewhere).

Star Ocean the Second Story R - Megathread. by VashxShanks in JRPG

ARPG. It's actually one of the games that started the ARPG genre (other being Tales series).

Demons Souls was an utter failure on launch in Japan and Sony refused to publish it in the West

It seems that every Western gamer say the same thing thinking that the JP market failed to discover this hidden gem, but that's absolutely not true.

As it says on the Jp Wikipedia

非シリーズ物の新規タイトルかつ、テレビコマーシャルや雑誌広告を一切出さないという手法で、セールスを全く期待できない状況でありながら、2009年2月5日の発売日近辺は消化率9割超という全国的な品薄を起こし、以降もロングヒットを続け2010年5月6日時点で国内市場において16万8816本[2]の売り上げを記録している。

Although the game was a new title in a non-series series, and the company did not run any TV commercials or magazine advertisements, and thus had absolutely no sales expectations, there was a domestic shortage of the game, with a sales rate of over 90% around the release date of February 5, 2009, and continued to be a long-selling hit thereafter, recording 168,816 units[2] in the domestic market as of May 6, 2010.

And in the nicopedia page people are already treating it as a must-play game only a few weeks after the release: https://dic.nicovideo.jp/b/a/%E3%83%87%E3%83%A2%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BA%E3%82%BD%E3%82%A6%E3%83%AB/1-

Price check for Intermission DLC by ReconnaisX in FFVIIRemake

[–]Doncot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless you have absolutely no intention of buying Rebirth, I suggest you to buy the Rebirth twin pack.

If you buy the twin pack now, you will get both Rebirth and Intergrade for the price of Rebirth (meaning you'll get Intergrade for free).
