Question

PlayStation 4 Pro worth getting for Red Dead Redemption 2?

I really like the look of Red Dead Redemption 2, so much so that I'm thinking about getting a Playstaion 4 Pro just to play it. Would you say the game is good and is it worth getting a Playstation 4 pro for? I might even get PS-VR when they knock the £100 of it like there going to soon. Also, I've heard good things about the game The Last of Use. What do you reckon are Platstaion 4 Pro's worth getting?

    IMHO The Last of Us is the single best game ever made..


    i wouldnt go that far myself, but it is certainly a very polished title, decent story (i was actually shocked at the end of the 1st chapter), controls are "ok" but a bit clunky at times.

    still TLOU was a large reason why i bought 2 different consoles (PS3 and PS4) so it is certainly up there for me.

    PS call me a heathen but if it is not a competitive pvp game (which generally i am not a fan of anyway), i use my xbox pad even in fps games on pc.

    am playing dying light at the moment and i use a pad :)

    Dying Light is so good. I just picked it up again, really nails the zombie apocalypse vibe.

    @pyroth309 - Does using the Xim 4 make games to easy on the PS4 Pro? Using a PlayStation controller has a slower reaction time then when using a keyboard & mouse, so isn't the game difficulty built around using the controller for the PS? I'm just a bit concerned the games might be to easy using keyboard & mouse. What do you reckon?

    35% game completion for me not sure how many hours but it's a big game (on Xbox One X). Looks great, plays well but is very much a western simulator rather than GTA Wild West. There is rumour a PC version might appear but that could be some time off into 2019.  If you want the best looking version then yeh Xbox One X. However, there are a lack of exclusives for Xbox if you have a competent PC ( a number of games appear on PC as well like Forza Horizon 4). So in this regard I would recommend the PS4 Pro so you get to play some other exclusives.

    I've been really happy with the PS4 Pro. While I do mainly game on PC, PS4 Pro has some awesome exclusives and 4K HDR looks pretty nice on a proper TV.

    Depends on the game but not really. You gotta remember that it's basically just emulating a controller input so you're still held to the same the limitations of a controller sticks range. IE you can only turn the camera as fast as your settings allow a stick on the controller to turn it. If you're really good at controller and prefer it, the difference won't be big. There's some benefits to having more accurate aim in some games sure but with a lot of games having bullet magnetism and aim assist it's not as big of a difference as you might think. Also, having an analog stick for movement in some games can be an advantage as well as you only have 8 directions with WASD. If you're better with a mouse, obviously you're going to do better using a XIM with a mouse than you would with a controller. If you're really good with a controller, you're still competitive with XIM users.

    But no, I wouldn't say it makes them too easy, but it does make them more enjoyable for me as I haven't liked any controllers since the old NES/Geneses/SNES/sega saturn Dpad days lol. I switched to PC when they all went to analog stick.

    @pyroth309 - The only game I can play with a controller is Fifa with friends. I hate console controllers so I'll be looking to get a Xim 4. Problem is they don't do them anymore it's an updated version that hasn't got as good a review as the Xim 4.

    So Microsoft launched Mouse and Keyboard support last week. So far only Fortnite and a few other are supporting it. Might hold out playing Red Dead in the hope they do also.
