Quality reasons
I put in an order for a PS5 Pro. I think Digital Foundry summed up, if it’s something you should bother with and they just confirmed it should give you the Quality 60fps mode it’s advertising – from what they’ve seen so far. If you’re already happy with the base machine’s Quality 30fps mode then don’t bother.

I play all games on my PlayStation 5 games in Performance mode. On newer titles like Alan Wake 2 and Silent Hill 2 I’m seeing a bigger downgrade in graphics playing on that mode. So, to have the best of both modes is something I’d like.

All these satellite products like the Pro, Edge, and Portal are about offering a product that fulfils a want from a slice of their customer base.

I’ve zero interest in an Edge or Portal but would get a lot out of a Quality 60fps box.

The main base product is on sale again right now. I get the criticism over these products at a time when Sony is not announcing games, spitting out unnecessary remaster after unnecessary remaster, and their live service plans are a public embarrassment.

But please remember that you’re not expected to buy these products and can pick up the base digital version right now for a very reasonable £335.

Maximum football
With all this talk about EA Sports FC being a bit of a lost cause do you think it’s come to the max it can be and can’t get any better? It’s a bit like Call Of Duty, it might have the sales but to me it’s came to the max it can be. Call Of Duty has got a bit boring; a bit of the same old stuff, just new maps.

I wonder if EA Sports FC has come to the same point in its life that they have done everything they can do and can’t take it to another level because it’s maxed out. I mean, it’s like a TV show. Sooner or later the ideas run out and it finally comes to an end, maybe it’s happened to EA Sports FC.

FIFA 26
What’s happening with the FIFA licence to make the games now?

I don’t remember reading anything about that for a good while. It’s looking like they shot themselves in the foot when they tried to hold EA over a barrel.

The way things are now I don’t see anyone falling over themselves to acquire it any time soon. Konami might have been a safe pair of hands at one time but not anymore.

GC: FIFA did initially make a lot of noise about developing their own game, but they didn’t give the impression they understood what that would involve. Nevertheless, there have been persistent rumours that 2K will or have acquired the licence but there’s …read more
