Looks like Trophies could be a thing in PC ports in future

https://www.truetrophies.com/n24354/sony-testing-playstation-pc-trophies
Don’t know enough about this to have yet an opinion but no platform has a like achievement-hunting culture to PS so I’m curious to learn more. What’s to stop hackers and modders making easy work of coveted Plats, Golds, and down – especially now that we’re entering a greater GaaS chapter? Cross-platform play is enough of a concession to PC players who otherwise haven't active enough playerbases in some games to fill their own lobbies or MM algorithmically under favorable parameters. Hope the trophy databases between platforms are kept separate so some faith in trophy stats can be maintained.

There's already "hacked " profiles of trophy hunters as it is on PS. On PSN profiles there's a flagged dispute section where at least 75% of the cases turn out to be plays earned in 20 seconds or so due to custom firmware/ cheating.

Xbox has a huge achievement hunting community too.

Culture, I said, not system; yes, they have points like Steam or gamerscore, iirc. Never see anyone LFG for 20 points whatnot or flexing scores for clout – always strategies for Plats or trophy-hunter buddying, collection showcasing. Again, PS boasts a unique culture that I’d hope to stay in-house. It’s like Toffler famously said that the wider raspberry jam is spread, the thinner it gets. PC is can of worms for cheating; to equivocate the two is either obtuse or done disingenuously.
 
Supposedly PlayStation UK are holding a 4 day playtest for an upcoming "Soulsbourne" game. Could possibly be Rise Of The Ronin playtest

I really hate that Team Ninja games get labeled as that. They've been making difficult action games before there were Souls games. Nioh and Wo Long don't feel anything like those titles and Rise of the Ronin feels like even more of a departure. Maybe it is Rise of the Ronin but I personally wouldn't call it that.

Great post. I was tired when I'd read Rik's update and didn't reply but thought exactly the same. Ronin does not give me Souls vibe; it's more Tsushima, IMO, and looking like another epic journey on the PS.
 
Rik, any date on INZONE buds you'd previously shared at 199€? I'd like to order. @rikwebb
 
Should be out now, they are out of stock already in the UK Sony store
O, shoot; had no idea. Going to look now at our bigger online Scandi stores.
 
Just ordered! Ships 27 October for my region.

Any advantage to these over the Pulse buds?

According to Sony you can connect to your PS5 (through PS Link) and your Phone via Bluetooth at the same time which I thought was a nice touch. You can play a game but also not miss out on phone calls.

Apart from that not much else difference including the price. But will keep an eye out of reviews of both when they land
 
I’ll stick with the 3D pulse set. I’ve got to chill out on the spending a bit. Already purchased psvr2 and the portal

I remember you updating us on games this year for you and splurge mode having been activated – understandable. Pulse for me, while I've liked them a lot and more so after the cooling gel pads Leoni recommended, seat a little too tight and heavy on my head; I also get a little hot wearing them for longer sessions. High-end earbuds are perfect for me, I'm wagering. Big fan of my Apple AirPods, so I'm kind of likening these INZONEs to that but fitted rather to my gaming sphere (versus Apple work/office space).
 
Anybody increase their ps5 storage capacity? I'm thinking of going for a 2 terabyte or more, any brands or stuff I should be aware of?
 
PS5 game streaming launched in Japan launched yesterday (EU next week and NA by the end of the Month), and impressions are looking very positive
 
The "Slim" PS5 looks like its releasing in Japan on November 10th

Buddy of mine who PC-games recommended this to me recently; consider it vouched for. We're coming up on the deal season too so keep an open eye and do some recon.
