By bud Go To Posti feel for you.Yeah it’s been a bit of a shitter tbh. At least that’s getting fixed quickly.
read on the other forum that your xbox broke, too?
2020, lads.
is this a disastrous launch or par for the course with new consoles? I've never bought a console at launch really so I wouldn't know
By Yurtlicious Go To Postis this a disastrous launch or par for the course with new consoles? I've never bought a console at launch really so I wouldn't knowThink failure rates seem about normal but delivery and ordering issues are much more of a shitshow, presumably largely down to covid.
Found it pretty easy to get a PS4 at launch, didn't need multiple tabs open or anything.
By Yurtlicious Go To Postis this a disastrous launch or par for the course with new consoles? I've never bought a console at launch really so I wouldn't knowAs far as defects? Nah
Demand for the ps5 is absolutely wii levels

A lot more people trying to jump in at launch it seems. Demand seems to be pretty wild, and I don’t think I’m exaggerating at all here.
not sure how anyone can say this is usual, definitely a lot more fucked up of a launch than what we've seen before. so much of the hardware/os/dev tools are unfinished and/or rushed, but this shouldn't be too surprising given the pandemic.
In normal times, you could go to stores and try your luck. But with the supply chain buckling due to the pandemic and bots hoarding what little supply there is.
It's been extra shitty.

By rerixo Go To Postnot sure how anyone can say this is usual, definitely a lot more fucked up of a launch than what we've seen before. so much of the hardware/os/dev tools are unfinished and/or rushed, but this shouldn't be too surprising given the pandemic.PS3 and PS4 were infinitely more fucked. Not to mention the 360
360s were dropping like flies. I had two red ring of death myself. Everyone I know had problems with it one way or another.
360 rrod is the biggest hardware fuckup but it took a long time for the issues to emerge and get fixed, so i wouldn't really count it as a launch failure
Yep.
If we are saying tools PS3 was more fucked. If we are saying early adopter issues ROD was something else.
Even when it comes to tools... XSX/S situation is actually normal. Having the SDK ready for games to make retail by June is par for the course.

Devs out there saying tools for XSX are better than before, and certainly better than previous launches, but people on the internet really pushing hard for the whole “tools” story. Tools were behind PS4 for all of last gen, but now it’s a problem.

The variable this time is Sony made sure they are more than ready for next gen, not to mention PS developer environment has been far ahead of Xbox's for a very long time.
hopefully most people went for Souls so we can spread the Souls-like cancer even deeper
By Daz Go To PostOh, you guys are talking about failure rates.I wasn't.
The lead engine programmer for Dirt 5 basically laid it out as being a problem for those coming in with no experience, which leads me to believe that these problems are mostly problems being highlighted by small time devs that didn’t even have to ship a game for launch. What I’ve heard and read from devs with experience in AAA have all noted these “issues” aren’t really anything out of the ordinary.
By Yurtlicious Go To Posthopefully most people went for Souls so we can spread the Souls-like cancer even deeperill be there Yurt, 3 weeks to go.
I wasn't.
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostBorderlands 3 is so goddamned clean on ps5 that I almost feel like I have to buy the DLC
you got it too? we need to link up.
i got the base for $20 but was thinking heavy on the deluxe editions. feels real good at 4k60. want to try the 120fps mode, but it's at 1080p
Think I've got the coil whine issue. It's not loud enough to bother me but it's noticeable. Hope it doesn't get any worse.
Not getting the option to download the PS5 version of Valhalla. I've seen other EU people with the same issue and apparently if you sign in with a Turkish account you can download it but don't know if I can be arsed.
By bud Go To PostWish I’d kept in touch with some of the people I played online with. Those games like Call of Duty 2, Bad company 2, Battlefield 3, PDZ, Crackdown, etc. Good times.
lads.

By sy Go To Postanother bangerOhh no
them xbox tools must have came in super hot cause damn
By sy Go To PostNooooooooo!! 😂
When is Phil getting fired?
No seriously, he should lose his job. We all made fun about incompetent Mattrick who pushed the console towards being an entertainment hub and had the brilliant idea of adding HDMI In ports.
The company decides it was a failure and Phil does the talk about changing the mantra to "gaming first" - and starts a new gen of two different consoles with no first party next gen games. Not even a couple who are the horizon in the first 6 month of the window.
What.
The.
Fuck.
And then we learn that the Xbox dev tools are so fucked up that devs can't even get parity with a console that by all means should perform worse? Sorry but I can't comprehend how you can fuck up so royally.

lol you think Microsoft fires people for a few months of lackluster software? They'd have nobody left.
Microsoft's handling of this next gen Xbox launch is a masterclass on how not to do one.
They had stumbled on more than a few things this year, major ones, that what is happening now isn't at all surprising.

Which one of you is Will_JD on Twitter? Or maybe he is from the OG gang amd ne er came here. Just read that he lost his PS5 to Amazon UK.... What the heck is Amazon doing with the deliveries over there? What a shitty company....

All these delivery theft/losses news is crazy
