Something for the Weekend – 14/09/24
So… the PS5 Pro became a thing this week, and I think the reaction to it has been pretty unanimous. We’ve got a couple months before its launch in November, at which point it will be fascinating to see how it sells. As with so many things on the internet, a blend of echo chambers and angry vocal minorities can really skew the reality of a situation, so Sony will be optimistic that it sells just as well as the PS4 Pro – reportedly around 15 million units through its lifespan.
That’s the biggest headline, but what else has happened this week in gaming?
We were at sixes and nines with our reviews this week, with some excellent games to consider
Of course, with the big news of the week being the PS5 Pro, there were plenty of reactions to it. Tuff gathered the best reactions to the PS5 Pro reveal from across the internet, while I used it to try and peer into the future and what this might mean for the next generation of consoles.
Then there were all the previews. I went hands on with Super Mario Party Jamboree, and Nic was very excited to playMonster Hunter Wilds. Dom handed in the most previews this week, though, with a look at the Early Access launch of Towerborne, some time with Planet Coaster 2, the stylish shooter FragPunk, and the insect-filled Empire of Ants.
Rounding things out as always, What We Played featured Astro Bot, Towerborne and Wild Bastards.
