Sony also only uploaded the presentation in 1440p, not 4k at max bitrate.

TLOU2 40 FPS with VRR is GREAT. I'd love more implementations like this, especially at hopefully 60 FPS and beyond.
VRR in brilliant in theory but is unreliable from a Q&A point of view. Performance varies from great to unplayable depending on TV/Monitor, gaming engine and how chaotic the game is.
This is why developers default to 30 and 60 fps settings that they are 100% sure can be consistently achieved everywhere in a game.

If you believe Digital Foundry. 40FPS/VRR mode is a great compromise when a game can do 30FPS easily, but not 60FPS.
Yes. Many TVs support it but the experience can vary. Issues include flicker, stutters or input lag. Some studios don't want the headache of negative reviews, refunds or customer service enquiries if a feature doesn't work as advertised.

I can contest to this. Last of Us Part I with Fidelity VRR flickers like crazy. Went back to standard Fidelity 4K/30 and it was ideal.

AND you don’t have a subscription to pay to play multiplayer games or online AND digital titles are not super expensive and only available from one place (SONY) AND your free monthly games, are actually free from EPIC game store 😛 https://store.minisforum.uk/products/atomman-g7-ti Valve need to release something like this.
What will happen is that prices of PSN and Gamepass will likely increase to compensate for loss in revenue from hardware sale.
If you have 50 million paying subscribers. Increasing the monthly price by $1, gives you an extra $50m per months which becomes $600m per year. It's not possible to generate the same incremental revenue from hardware sales.
That Atoman looks slick! However I think it's best for Steam to stick to a handheld but release a sleek eGPU for those who want more muscle.
One thing I find more important than the number of frames or pixels is the draw distance in open world scenarios. Is there any indication that there could be less pop-ins on the PS5 Pro?

Not sure if this system would enable increased draw distance for every game. There may be a few that get updated with improvements.
This would apply to all games with an open world map, like GTA games, RPGs, Minecraft, No Man's Sky, etc.
The biggest failing of the ps5 and series x marketing is that all the below are brilliant:
120fps
4k
Ray tracing
Big open world
Dense crowds
Long draw distance
Ultra quality textures
Multiplayer
But you can't have them all at once. Not even with a 4080 at native.
DLSS and Frame Gen help however both require resources on their own. If both are used too aggressive you can suffer a bit a lag.
I play in 4k with both on but a few months ago I played on a 1080p display without both and was surprised by how much more responsive gameplay way. The lower latency was very noticeable.
With consoles its up to the studios to decide for us what how to prioritise each parameter.
I think we'll see 3 modes going forward:
Performance
Quality
Quality with ray tracing
Picked up Space Marine 2, and it’s a bit crap to be honest. Cumbersome controls, does look poor in performance mode and a bit slow in quality mode, they said they’ll fix it.. just another generic poorly made fix it later game of this gen. This gen has sucked, really badly for games on PS5. I should have got Wukong or Star Wars instead.

Hmmmm - this game is on my wish list as well.......may get Star Wars Outlaws instead for now then, and wait under the price for Space Marine has dropped further!
Wukong looks good, but it just seems like its a boss battle after another, with little actual story etc?
I had Wukong on my Deck, but I did get a refund more due to the performance of it. It it seems like a good game, their is a story to it with cut scenes but it is a bit big battle after big battle.
People have been ridiculing Star Wars but seemingly because it's Ubisoft and claiming it's a woke game? But I really enjoyed Watch Dogs Legion. May wait for it to on sale though.
Wukong is not just a boss battle. It has an incredible story and probably the best ps5 game i've ever played to date. GOTY for me.
Helps if you're into the Journey in the west series and know more about the Lore and history of the book. But yeah, the story is just amazing.
Holy hell these are stunning! Hopefully scalpers won't get the majority of them:

Absolute Sexy. I'd love to get this, but i'll be trying my luck with the standard PS5 Pro on oct 10th through GameStop. GameStop gave me $800 in gift card, so I imagine that should only cover the PS5 pro and not the 30-year anniversary.
At least the retro duel sense controllers will be sold seperately. An all black PS5 would look good with one of those controllers.

Yeah, it looks gorgeous although I know Sony is using nostalgia against me.
But if it’s sold at the same 800€ yeah it is pretty tempting… but still, too expensive.

Oooooh, that's hot.
Digital only may be a bummer for some, but I actually don't think I have ever put a disc into my PS5 which I have had since launch.
This is going to be very pricey though.

in my country (Singapore), the 20th anniversary playstation could only be bought by successful lucky draw winners. Only 25 sets were available for purchase. I managed to buy one off one of the guys who won it lol.
He made some profit, but oh well. I was never going to get one set through winning a stupid lucky draw.
