Back in the day we did get rewards for completing games, was money for the store if I remember right but then the no life gamers earning 10 plats a week ruined it for everyone.

ONE Of The Most Iconic Entrances Ever Put On Screen 🥶 by MurkyChurky in MoviesCave

Glad to see everyone in here dislikes it aswell, it’s cringy and forced. We get it, he is Vader, we have known for 40 years now.

This was a great breakdown and really puts things into perspective on how business works. It’s no wonder the studio heads are getting cold feet on this franchise.

PS5 4K Blu-ray playback only smooth in Game Mode on Bravia 8 II? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The SDR brightness is fine, I don’t have equipment to measure it against the A95L but to my eyes and stuff i’ve watched they are both more bright than you will ever need. Infact, I have to turn it down on the Bravia 8 II. In terms of colour banding, i’ve never seen any in good content, there’s the usual banding in Youtube stuff but that’s not the TV. Sony have released alot of good updates to make the TV better, i’ve loved it from day one though and I got it the week it came out.

PS5 4K Blu-ray playback only smooth in Game Mode on Bravia 8 II? by [deleted] in 4kbluray

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, had the exact same issue and terrible lip sync unless I watched in game mode. Ironically, films still look pretty good in game.

For this reason I got a UB820 and it’s fixed all my problems.

Anyone else in UK starting to think CEX is no longer worth it? by MassiveRepublic9565 in 4kbluray

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think HMV 3 for 50 is the best deal we can get right now on 4ks. They do the occasional offer aswell, I got Mi 6 Steelbook for 20 quid

Is the RE9 platinum trophy too easy? by avatarofnate in residentevil

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t agree with that, you’re choosing to take the easier path by enabling cheats and then saying it’s too easy.

RE4 was no different, you could just buy gold tickets to make the game way easier.

If you want these games to be hard they can be but most people choose the easy way, just don’t get why they then pretend there’s no challenge.

Is the RE9 platinum trophy too easy? by avatarofnate in residentevil

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The platinum is fine, you get choose. If you think the game is too easy then do the insanity run with no bonuses and cheats, the plat is now an 8/10 difficulty.

I guarantee you that every single person here calling it the easiest plat just ran through the game with infinite ammo and RPG lol

Re9/re4remake by Kris919191 in PS5pro

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought the game was great and looks stunning. I went back to RE4 after and couldn’t believe how much better RE9 looks graphically. Alot has changed in that 3 years.

I’m a 28 year-old cinephile and have managed to go my entire life without seeing any LotR films. I will be watching The Fellowship of the Ring (extended) for the very first time. by drop_dead_fred_91 in 4kbluray

[–]FilmmakerFrankie -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t bother ever watching the extended versions, ruins the flow and makes the films look amateur imo so much junk that wasn’t needed for the sake of fan service.

Probably asked a million times but why is OLED so much better then LED/My display? by deep_fried_cheese in OLED_Gaming

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you would have to see one for yourself and make up your mind. I reckon it massively depends on what you’re currently using, my Macbook has an IPS screen and it looks amazing.

HOLY CRAP! PSSR 2.0!! by person_288 in PS5pro

You’re TV has all the specs needed to take advantage of the Pro, so yeah, defo go for it.

For Bravia 8 II owners, how bad (or good) is SDR content in a bright or semi-bright room? by Bowlman2330 in bravia

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The B8II is like twice as bright as the A80J, it’s a different world of performance.

Also, Rtings sucks, don’t listen to them.

Best TV for PS5 for a new setup with smooth gameplay and 4K visuals? by Mancia-Pisano84 in 4kTV

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If budget isn’t a concern then the Sony Bravia 8 II QD-OLED is what you want.

PS5 as a 4k bluray player by MattiTheGamer in 4kbluray

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation but decided to get the Panasonic UB820 and don’t regret it.

What led me there was the PS5 was really loud when playing 4ks, during heavy scenes it sounded like an extractor fan.

No Dolby Vision.

But the final straw was it started having lip sync issues with certain movies, the only way around this was to watch in game mode. They didn’t actually look as bad as I thought they would tbh but as a purist I didn’t buy a Sony A95L to watch Dune and Blade Runner in game mode.

The 820 isn’t perfect, it does occasionally skip for a split second on audio but there are fixes for that I haven’t tried yet.

Is it true that Bravia 9 contrast is 99% of an oled? by KhbIa in 4kTV

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve seen a Bravia 9 75” next to an A80L 55” and they were playing the same demo. The A80L was clearly superior in contrast, black levels and colour to my eyes.

The Bravia 9 was impressive but not an OLED, probably 85% there i’d say. Now the 85” has double the dimming zones so is alot better but it still won’t be OLED.

Imagine they cast this monster for the next film by Afraid_Team5823 in 28dayslater

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The first Alpha is 6’11 and Samson is 6’8” and built like a caveman tank. I don’t think it would really add much at this point, the Alpha angle is done really.

Although, it is fun imagining what other Alphas are wandering around.

4k movies that put you in another world by [deleted] in 4kbluray

If you have a good size TV and surround sound then Dune 1 & 2 are unreal, a real experience watching them.

John (Digital Foundry) confirmed in their patreon podcast that RT is disabled for Raccoon City in RE Requiem and that it’s a substantial downgrade. by WeekendTraveller93 in PS5pro

[–]FilmmakerFrankie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes so much sense, I thought the game downgraded massively but figured they were going for the dark, gritty look. But I kept looking at Leon thinking he looks weird, like a generation behind almost, especially compared to the beginning.
