How To Link and Unlink PlayStation Account In The First Descendant https://lnkd.in/gcu3fEzg via YouTube

My name is Kevin and I'm addicted to buying old game consoles. 🎮 Anyone who's visited the YourFilm office will be familiar with the array of video game consoles on display. I'm a huge computer game nerd and love the design and form factors of different game consoles. They're a great conversation piece for visitors to the office, and usually people will pick out the one that had the most impact on them. This week, the Sony PlayStation turns 30—a console that didn’t just revolutionise gaming but redefined how we interact with technology and entertainment. What made the PlayStation stand out wasn’t just its innovative tech, but its ability to connect emotionally with its audience, bringing them into immersive worlds and unforgettable stories. The video games of today are immersive visual worlds with teams of writers crafting amazing characters and stories. As someone working in video production, it’s a reminder of the power of combining cutting-edge technology with compelling storytelling to create lasting connections. In our own projects, we strive to achieve the same: innovation that resonates, just like the PlayStation has for three decades. 👏 So Happy Birthday Playstation- many happy returns! 🎂 Has the PlayStation (or any other innovation) inspired your work? Let me know in the comments! 👇 #playstation30thanniversary #playstation #storytelling

My 2nd post today on consumer electronics presentations. 🔌⚡😄 Sony Interactive Entertainment has announced a PlayStation 5 "Technical Presentation" for tomorrow (Tuesday 9/10). Sony will almost certainly be revealing the heavily rumored PS5 Pro, a mid-generation upgrade for the PlayStation 5 games console. 🎮 👾 I'm realizing I'm more of an enthusiast in this category! Whereas I've been perfectly happy to hold onto my iPhone 11 for years, I've purchased every PlayStation iteration (including the PS4 Pro and the current PS5) early on. Still, even I, although intrigued, will likely not pull the trigger on a PS5 Pro purchase right away. Let's break down the case for/against the PS5 Pro: ❌ Too Soon / Hard Enough to Upgrade People to a Base PS5 The PS5 was released in November 2020 and will soon be 4 years old. That's the halfway mark of a typical console generation, making it technically it a perfectly appropriate time to introduce a mid-gen upgrade. However, it doesn't really FEEL that way, as this generation has gotten off to a slow start. ❌ Lack of Exclusive Games AAA (Big Budget) games have become increasingly expensive and more time-consuming to produce. These very long development cycles means that some of Sony's top dev teams have yet to see their first proper title release for the PS5. Several of Sony's recent major titles, God of War: Ragnarok and Horizon: Forbidden West, released as "cross gen" titles, playable on PS4, making the jump to PS5 seem less necessary. ❌ Expensive! 💰 PS5 Pro will be a high end, luxury product for sure. I've seen rumors of $699. I think a base model of $599 is more likely, but either way, this will be a pricey item, not ideal at a time when inflation is cramping consumers' spending power. ✅ Fidelity vs. Performance Games look amazing on the PS5, but there's a catch. New titles like the excellent Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offer users a choice of Fidelity Mode (4K Resolution, more impressive visuals) vs. Performance Mode (How many Frames Per Second, makes gameplay smoother). I always opt for Performance mode as that smoother feel is more important to me, but forcing this choice is likely the biggest case for the PS5 Pro. Gamers want BOTH 4K Resolution and 60 FPS and are starting to consider these standards/requirements for their games. New games may require a PS5 Pro to deliver against both standards and not require gamers to compromise on either. ✅ Grand Theft Auto Effect 🚗 Rockstar's immensely popular open world series will be a major factor here, with the latest entry (GTA VI) scheduled for Autumn 2025. This title will be pushing boundaries on an immersive world and incredibly technically demanding, while not arriving on PC yet at launch. PS5 Pro will be positioned as the best way to play GTA VI and that alone will be huge. ✅ More Games Are Coming ⏭️ This generation has gotten to a slow start, but other BIG first party titles from Sony are on the way. #videogames #playstation #ps5pro #ps5 #insights

** NEW VIRTUAL ECONOMY EPISODE!! ** Call of Duty Saves the Month… On PlayStation (News Show) We now know that Microsoft wasn’t kidding when they said they had no intention of pulling Call of Duty from PlayStation. Whether the Game Pass Gambit pays off or not, Black Ops 6 is selling great on Sony’s console. Also: the rest of the Circana report on U.S. Video Game Spending for October, a pair of Mass Effect alums run into funding trouble, and more. https://lnkd.in/gfxbvu5k

Helldivers 2 reviews take a dive. 3 months after the game's release Sony is forcing PC Steam users to link their accounts to a PlayStation Network account if they want to continue on playing the game. So what caused the negative reviews: - Helldivers 2 players that have never purchased a PlayStation or maybe never played on a console will have to create a PlayStation Network account in order to continue the playing the game they bought on Steam for a PC. - This account linking prerequisite was not present at the launch of the game, that would actually decrease sales. - Players hate extra hoops they have to go through. If they bought a game on Steam, they want to play it on Steam with nothing else needed. - PlayStation Network has a history of getting hacked and information being stolen. Those that may accept account linking can't trust database that they are being linked to. #helldivers2 #helldivers #playstationnetwork #psn #sony #steam #pc #console
