Right now PlayStation is learning that when you get too comfortable…you fall asleep.

Audio unlocked for me today

Wayne Moss

Are we gonna get audio for this? I had audio for DDU #23 on my patron rss feed but not this one :(

Benjamin

Hey Dustin and Ben, When will the audio-only post unlock for 1 and 2$ patrons? Thanks.

Yer I seam to get this problem time to time it’s only mainly DD or DDU that for some unknown reason plays up. If I go to Patron without logging in it shows the video will unlock at the £1 tier & the Audio edition will unlock at the £4 tier when they should now be both at the £1 tier. If I login the video unlocks but the audio stays locked 🤬. In the past it does seam to unlock at a later date so fingers crossed this happens. The episode won’t pop on to the podcast feed until the Audio unlocks. This is defo a Patron issue that gets on my nerves.

I have long grew tired with how EA manages their sport games, but if that greed stays localized there, and they allow single player games to be untouched: I.e. Dragon Age, ME, Fallen Order (which had a free upgrade for next-gen)... then I'm OK. I can just play the EA Sports games a few months after release with GamePass. If EA is gonna be evil, keep that evil contained and away from the SP experiences lol

Doom eternal and Plague tale added these features like dual sense haptics and the trigger stuff for free, among many others. It's not a question of the money it's a about other companies (not just Xbox) setting a better standard.

Craig Mcguire

Putting out additional content + PS5 specific upgrades like Dualsense, not just 4k 60fps which you already get for free, is “setting a dangerous precedent” and is “a very scary picture” for next-gen? I think you guys are confused to what exactly Smart Delivery + Backwards Compat is compared to what Directors Cut (DLC) is because it’s being compared like they are the same

Game is super successful and has a ton of content that millions play monthly. I’d try to ignore the metacritic average from March 2018, really not reflective of the game now

Stephen Forgione

Very interesting discussion, gentlemen.

Ghost of Tsushima already has a free patch that runs the game at dynamic 4k 60 so if you want to play the directors cut without the next gen upgrade which is mostly dualsense and 3d audio you can do that sony is not forcing you to pay the $10 if you don't want to.

Matty people should have to pay 10 for the upgrade. It's a native ps5 game at that point and includes the the dual sense feature which are transformative to the experience of playing the game. Also there are many free upgrades given out by sony Tlou 2 , Gow, Ghost already had free 1800 p and 60 target boost plus an entire multiplayer added after the fact. Having to pay for dualsense features is fine by me becuase honestly it's the only " next gen " thing I have seen Ethier company do. Trying to write it off as "minor" is something I disagree with. 10$ is minor dual sense features tailored specifically for a game are not. If you dont think the features are worth 10 bucks just buy the ps4 version and dont pay for it. The price and value conversation is getting annoying it's the only area where xbox is competitive so I feel like people are making mountains out of mole hills to highlight it. Which is pretty corny.

Also the closing credits needs updated to include Cog and not Jeremy lol. I know it'll be updated but it was weird.

so why's it $10 more for PS5 then?

Dean Robertson

To be honest, Nintendo's prices are what brought me back to Xbox recently. I wanted to check out some smaller/indie titles on the switch based off a youtuber's recommendation, but all the games I wanted to try were gonna cost around $200. I looked at gamepass one day and realized I could play at least 60% of them on Xbox for $1 for my first month. I am always a Playstation guy first but gamepass saves me soo much money on games that I would rather try before buying.

Great to hear both hosts doing Ultimate! Thumbs up!

Clay Layne

I'm against the way PS markets those DC, but it could be worse Imo. I prefer content only on DC, the rest should be offer to the original. But mostly, if people want to pay...hard for them to change this way of doing things. But hey, business uh. As of Xbox, smart delivery is key, but the question is: Will it stays that way? I hope so ah ah!

When you got fire like Nintendo and Playstation you could charge for upgrades when you're stuck with see of thieves you really cant

Good job with Defining Duke lately. The hosts interaction and overall atmosphere improved with Lord on the show. GG

Matty and Cog you are wrong. Ghost has no paid options for the PS5 patch or upgrades. The options are: - 59.99$ for the Director's Cut on PS4 if you don't own the base game - 69.99$ for the Director's cut on PS5 if you don't own the base game - 19.99$ for the Director's Cut upgrade on PS4 - 29.99$ for the Director's Cut upgrade on PS5 - 9.99$ if you purchased the Director's Cut on PS4 and want to upgrade it to the PS5 Director's Cut. Additionally most of the PS5 upgrades are going to be FREE as they've said in the blog post.
