 Hey there Legend Ladies, it is Petrifying Pumpkins here and welcome to another episode of PSVOR News. This time I've got two things to talk about, one thing very positive that I'm very excited about, the other thing, something that's kind of bringing up a lot of concern with me right now, maybe I'm misinterpreting things, maybe I'm reading the tea leaves incorrectly, hopefully that's the way. But that's the other thing, something that's making me a little bit nervous about the future of PSVOR, one, on the PS5. So let's just jump right into it starting with that bad, well not all bad news I should say, it's half good half bad, so let's just start with No Man's Sky coming to PS5. So this was just announced an hour ago we'll say, No Man's Sky, the next generation, that's the name of this update that's coming so it's gonna bring, if you already own us on PS4 or Xbox One, you'll be able to play it day one when the new consoles launch. On those new consoles, no additional cost, free updates, it's gonna give you 4k 60 frames per second, haptic feedback on the new controller, super fast loading times, you know, new audio, the tempest audio and the PS5 3D audio, it's gonna be revamped, rehulled, just like thousands more objects on screen at any one time and just a bunch of all kinds of like advantages that you can see in this video playing beside me here. If you look at the top left corner it shows these different features and one of them when I saw it, it said PS Viewer Support and I was like, yeah, oh yeah, PS Viewer Support is gonna get all this cool shit, I was so happy, so excited. Then I went to the PlayStation blog which gave more details about this and that's when my hopes were somewhat dashed. Let me just pull this up, Jamie, pull it up. So Exhibit A, No Man's Sky, the next generation, sounds like a Star Trek subtitle which is very appropriate, I think. Anyway, we're reading through this announcement from Sean Murray himself on the PlayStation blog, they've teamed up with PlayStation to announce this. Of course, No Man's Sky and PlayStation have had like a tight market and deal since it came out. So you scroll down to see all the new features, you know, you got the haptic controls, fuller worlds, you know, 32 players together, advanced audio and that 32 players by the way includes crossplay and playing with previous generations too. 4K at 60 frames per second which is really impressive, ultra visuals, base buildings being expanded upon, apparently you can make huge off-world colonies now, warp speed load times, crossplay, we talked about that already, upgrading from PS4 to PS5 is free and then we read this point here, PlayStation VR. So let's just read this but be, you know, mindful of the wording that they're using here. No Man's Sky is fully playable in PS4 or on PlayStation 5 and this is the big one, by virtue of its backwards compatibility functionality. That tells me that in order to play No Man's Sky in VR on a PS5, you can't do it nasively on the PS5, you have to put it into its backward compatibility function or mode or whatever it is it goes into and that tells me that there's a good chance we won't get any of these kind of cool advantages that are coming, you know, obviously we're not going to get 4K on the PS4 anyway because the display is only 1080p but we would have gotten better volumetric lighting and fuller worlds and seen more objects on screen and there would have been all these advantages. Now the one thing we might still guess is the faster loading times because everything's running on the SSD now so regardless we might get faster loading but all the other stuff we might just not have, we might just have the same as the PS4 version with a bit better load, well probably a lot better loading speeds but not optimized for PS5, not fully taken advantage of PS5 and that is kind of a punch in the gut to me. It's kind of painting this picture now of a PS5 where the only way to play VR on us is in backwards compatibility mode and this is kind of corroborated by this other image that I'm going to show you here. This came up a couple of weeks ago I think but I didn't really want to talk about it too much because it was just one image by itself didn't necessarily mean anything, I was waiting for more stuff to come up to kind of back up this kind of conspiracy theory that I've been building up here. Basically let me just pop it up. Hitman, Exhibit B. Okay so we know Hitman's coming to PS4, we know it's coming to PS5, both of them coming in January but you'll see on the box arts that were officially revealed like a week or two ago that only the PS4 box art makes any indication that the game is VR compatible. The PS5 is completely void of any graphic design or wording to indicate that you know this game supports PS4 and the PS5 so what's going on you know. I think personally if I had to venture a guess I would say this is a Sony policy, something that they're putting out they're saying okay Debs you might want to take advantage of the PS5 to you know leverage the PS4 a bit better but it might cause confusion so for example if PlayStation viewer support was under the PS5 box art as well you might have PS viewer owners see and PS viewer support assuming it would work on their PS4. I know it's like a jump in logic and it assumes people are very very stupas but these things do happen and it can be a headache for these huge corporations and it can lead to accusations of false advertisement this may be why they're only allowing virtual reality via backwards compatibility and it might explain why we have not heard anything about VR for games like Resident Evil 8 because maybe we all have to waste until PS viewer 2 comes along whenever that could be could be next year could be the year after could be even the year after that maybe and then Sony will say okay we've got the new headsets now you can take advantage of the PS5 fully and really dazzle people with that problem with that is is you know how many people watching right now have pre-ordered a PS5 getting one day one or at least we're planning to just for taking advantage of better viewer support personally i want a PS5 anyway because i love fact games too you know demon souls spider man stuff like that i'm really excited for but there's definitely people out there who are not interested in that flat stuff and just want viewer and this might be a bit of a kick to the balls or might give them reason to cancel their pre-order now and just waste until PS viewer 2 comes out i mean we'll just have to wait and see really this is just my interpretation of how i'm seeing things right now could be completely misreading the tea leaves here this is completely up for debate and i'd love to see what you guys think about this in the comment section below we'll have a nice friendly discussion about it all right so that's the bad news kind of out of the way let's talk about some good news this video i'm playing right here comes from gamespot.com and it is of course gameplay of astro's playroom which is launching with every ps5 there was an embargo for the ps5 yesterday that lifted so all this news came about certain aspects of the ps5 they're allowed to talk about they're allowed to talk about astro they're allowed to talk about the controller and while i'm showcasing footage of astro in the background here this isn't really what i want to talk about what i want to talk about is the controller because the do sense controller sounds really legit after all these previews like super super legit we've had some people saying you know there's two next gen consoles coming but there's only one next gen controller the do sense is that good if you've been following ps5 up to this point you've probably seen sony really pushing the dual sense talking about things like haptic feedback you know adaptive triggers all this kind of stuff and you might think well that's just fancy buzzwords i'm sure it's not really much of a game changer boss according to the people who now have these in their hands they're saying hey this is legit you can actually feel like when the character is walking on the sand for example it feels different it's been described as like hd rumble whereas on the dualshock 4 that we have now like a part of the controller with vibrates and you know the other part of vibrates and that's kind of that's pretty much it whereas now let me just pull up a controller to give an example according to what people are saying you might feel like footsteps little gentle footsteps just on the bottom part here you know it's like really precise really delicate of course i haven't tried it myself so i'm just going by what other people have said however this has huge implications for let's say ps3 or two when it does come out eventually what kind of controllers are we going to be using you can almost be certain that it's going to have that technology inside them and people have been really impressed that's really added the immersion and if it's added immersion like that to a flat game you can probably imagine how much immersion you're going to guess like added when you've got your your eyesight covered by a headset and you feel this in your hands you don't have to suspend your disbelief as much as you would on a flat screen because you're already in the game and this new technology this is a new immersive technology that sony's invested in seems like it's really going to enhance that so much and i'm really excited for that the future for ps4 or two looks super bright i think so fingers crossed we will hear about the ps4 or not too long after the ps5 comes out so really quick bonus topic that happened while i was in the middle of editing the rest of the video chuhei yoshida tweeted out hey you ps4 owners who've been wanting to get ps4 on the ps5 you want that adapter this is where you go to get us he posted the link the link leads to this image here that i took a screenshot of i can't get past this screen right now i think it might be getting hit by a lot of people trying to get on at the same time boss i will put a link to us in the description below so you can hopefully get your hands on the ps4 to ps5 camera adapter which is what you will need if you want to play your ps4 or headset on a ps5 it's a little bit more complicated than it should have been i think it's a little bit muddled but whatever that's just all i wanted to say about this little quick topic it's probably gonna be a little bit jaren compared to the rest of the video but whatever let me just resume ending the video now that is all i wanted to talk about something bad something good let me know your thoughts in the comments below before i go let me give a huge thank you to my patreon supporters whose names are on the screen as i speak thanks to their
