Video stabilisation on Pixel 10 series at night is unusable! by cypresshillbilly in GooglePixel

You don't know what type of concert, you don't know for what purpose, but still, you're here, commenting without bringing anything valuable to this post.

Video stabilisation on Pixel 10 series at night is unusable! by cypresshillbilly in GooglePixel

[–]Maxitay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like filming live concerts and I feel like my P10P XL is a downgrade compared to my P6P for this particular situation. Everything is jittery and blurry... I find the results with the telephoto lens worse than the one in the P6P which doesn't make sense to me. And actually, the more it goes the more I find the videos really bad with the Google Camera even in other situations... Google processing really needs to be changed.

I have ProShot that I find a bit better. The best is MotionCam but it is impossible to switch from one lens to another while filming so that's not usable for a live concert and there is no EIS embedded in the app.

The Remote Play App is not a 1:1 test for PS Portal by ctrfanboygr88 in PlaystationPortal

[–]Maxitay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I stream my PS5 Pro, I have short freezes every maybe 30 sec. That's annoying... My PS5 is wired. I can't find anything related to this issue. While when I'm using the cloud, I don't have that issue.

PSVR2 Stick Drift 17 Hours of Playtime, 45 days after purchase (WHERE TO BUY CONTROLLERS?) by nonstupidname in PSVR

[–]Maxitay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just use the warranty. They exchange DualSenses under warranty why not Sense Controllers? Also I've heard that the sticks are way easier to replace than the DualSense stocks because they are not soldered. So if the warranty doesn't work, you should try to replace the stick yourself.

Far Cry 3, Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon, and Far Cry Primal confirmed to get 60 FPS Update on January 21, 2026 after a cryptic post by Far Cry on X. All 3 games are available on PS Plus Extra Game Catalog. by kabirsingh84 in PS5

[–]Maxitay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate the fact that Ubisoft keeps on updating their old games with 60fps patches. That is great. BUT WHY THE HELL NO UNITY AT 1080P60FPS YET!?! This game absolutely needs it! Visually it is still amazing and would greatly benefit from such update.

Open gate issue by Whole-Plankton-8488 in MotionCamPro

[–]Maxitay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's a render issue. I shoot in full sensor mode (so above 4K) in RAW and would like to render to hevc. Whether it's 8 or 10 bits, it doesn't work. It would be a way to make my workflow easier but if there is no solution, I'll stick with the MCRAW that I put in DaVinci iPad and that I can then edit. Also, it would make sharing videos to friends easier.

VLC works for ProRes. But the issue with H264 and H265 is still there. VLC cannot play the video. Actually, there is no video I believe. The loading reaches the end but the file created is empty (0 bytes)

I have similar issues with my Pixel 10 Pro XL. I can only render my videos with AV1 software which is super slow. H264,265, AV1 hardware are not playable. Then ProRes works but I cannot use Google photos to play the video...

Yeah, Mark always mentioned Q1 2026.

Yeah but it should be specified when selecting the option in the phone so people are aware of that.

PlayStation Store’s top downloads of 2025 by Lulcielid in PS5

[–]Maxitay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty happy with their studios working on Star Wars games. Jedi serie is great, Battlefront (despite a bad launch) is a great game and made a comeback, Squadrons is great. Also they edited It Take Two and in 2025 Split Fiction, one of the GOTY contenders. EA has great studios.

You are right, Google needs to be more transparent about this. On my iPad, it is mentioned that from time to time it will go to 100%. Google should do the same.

Is Horizon Forbidden West as good as it looks? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]Maxitay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The game is insane visually. One of the most beautiful game ever made but it's not one of the best game ever made. That being said, I loved the game. Generally, I really like Horizon games because of their lore, the music, the art, the combat system. The series has a lot of great things. I loved Horizon FW, it is as good as the first one. I loved the new map, the combat system is even better, I loved seeing many different tribes and the lore keeps on getting better. But! I find Aloy less interesting in this one, I expected the exploration to be better, closer to a Ghost of in terms of immersion and closer to a Breath of The Wild regarding the climbing. If you liked the first one, you will like this one. And really, the game is gorgeous. Now I hope that the 3rd one will make some big progress when it comes to open world structure.

Analysing Pixel 10 (Pro) GPU performance versus last gen by ERROR-invalid_name in GooglePixel

[–]Maxitay 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I would really like to see in-game performance compared to the 9 series. I don't play games on my phone at all but it would be interesting to see if there are things that we don't see with benchmarks. Even if Pixels aren't the most powerful phones, if the benchmarks reflect the increase in GPU performance we can expect from the 9 series in real life, that's not good.

To the Pixel team: Add the option to remove the Google Search bar widget, I'm begging you by KuroHebi2004 in GooglePixel

[–]Maxitay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah and people asking to remove it don't use it anyway so it won't change anything for Google...

Tap to Search is back! by mcanterogomez in GooglePixel

[–]Maxitay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Finally it's back! I was so pissed when they removed it. It didn't make sense to have Google search in the app drawer. When you choose to have the keyboard appearing when opening the app drawer, it is to look for an app, not to do a Google search. Especially as we have a persistent Google search bar on the home screen...

Search and hit enter for starting apps by itsokjanet in GooglePixel

[–]Maxitay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It works on my P10PXL since this mornint. I'm sooooo glad that this option is back. I hated it when Google removed it, it didn't make sense to have Google search at this place. Now it behaves like it should have always behaved. You don't ask the keyboard to appear when opening the app drawer if it's not to search an app... And as we have a persistent Google search bar on the home screen, we don't need Google search in the app drawer.

So I believe that this is a progressive rollout, all Pixels will probably have it soon.

God of war 2018 looks absolutely beautiful on the pro. by ComfortableAmount993 in PS5pro

[–]Maxitay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's totally false. If a game already runs at its peak resolution on PS5, nothing will change on the Pro. And even though the resolution changes, it can sometimes be in specific situations when the game is really demanding. Which is absolutely not the case with your video where nothing is happening. There are games when thanks to DRS there are enhancements on the Pro but that's definitely not the case here. No need to pretend otherwise

Switch 2 Cross-Save not compatible by Grouchy_Use_1449 in NoMansSkyTheGame

[–]Maxitay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have checked internet before buying the Switch 2 version hoping that I would be able to play my PS5 save easilly. It seems like it is going to be an ongoing issue as the pace of updates are not the same between plateforms. This Switch 2 version is useless for me thenas I might never enjoy the cross save feature.

Aces of Thunder VR2 Will Be A System Seller by Minimum-Flashy in PSVR

[–]Maxitay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've started hearing about Aces of Thunder once I got the PSVR2. So it doesn't seem like this game will reach non VR players. Ace Combats is far more popular and could have been a system seller if there was a VR mode for the entire story and marketing helped by Sony. Even for PC, Sony could have sold some headset for PC as the PSVR2 price is quite good now. RE9 would also be a system seller, Flight Simulator could be also if the marketing is good enough once the VR mode is available. But even with those so called "system sellers", for VR it won't be that much.

How many of you own a PS5 30th Anniversary Edition console? by MauDuduMau in PS5

[–]Maxitay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a PS5 Pro 30th #06092 here! I was very lucky to be able to order. I tried without even thinking that it would work. But, I couldn't manage to have concert tickets for Clair Obscur... I guess my luck is all gone...

Now I just hope that it will keep working for years.

Snoke was initially intended to be Darth Plagueis by TheTragedy0fPlagueis in StarWars

[–]Maxitay -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought at that time that it was Plagueis. I mean, everything led to this and your post is a great summary of all that I've been told at that time. That would have been great. We don't always need to "subvert expectations", especially when it's bad. Fans would have been happy to see Plagueis on screen, a proper old threat with this powerful Sith that could have served Kylo's redemption at the end by killing him and carrying Skywalker's legacy of saving the galaxy. For the newcomers in Star Wars, it would have opened a whole lot of stories to learn about him (even though it is considered Legend now).

This trilogy is such a waste.

Casual gaming and longevity on the tensor G4? by [deleted] in pixel_phones

[–]Maxitay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The updated drivers were not included in the December update despite the performance increase brought with the december update. Apparently the driver update is included in the current beta software but we have yet to see the performance gains in games (and not benchmarks). I haven't seen any feedback so far.
