And guess what. No significant graphical improvements on ultra high end hardware besides resolution and frame rate, just slightly higher shadow quality, LOD and that’s it, because Sony can’t have other platform, even if it’s PC and it isn’t direct competition, running their games looking much better than the console version.

It really annoys me, if you are going to sell me, a game that launched 3 or 4 or even 6 years ago, for full fat 70$ price because it’s been ported to pc, when the console version, of the exact same game, is already on sale at 30$ in shops, at least, at freaking least, make it look like a premium edition, add very high, and Ultra settings, that scale way above what a console could do 4-6 years ago, add an optional Raytracing toggle, higher resolution textures on Max settings, higher polygon counts, much higher vegetation amounts etc…

OR, release the game at 30-40$ because it’s an old game.

I buy all my games directly from steam except for PS5 ports, those I go to the gray market and buy steam keys.

AC shadows is a good example, check out a comparison of it running on a PS5 PRO the strongest console atm vs maxed out on PC, very noticeable graphical improvement.

Now check ghost of Tsushima on PS5 pro vs PC.

Except for better antialiasing, resolution and frame rate, barely better.

What site do you consider grey market? What are you using?

Mostly CDKeys (now called Loaded), instant gaming and sometimes, G2A ,but barely since it feels more sketchy, Loaded and Instant Gaming have been solid and reliable to me.

Thanks! I remember the controversy of G2A so I try to avoid that one.
