How Soon Is Now

Everyone should hold off buying deamon souls on disk. Loads off copies will be floating about after people get sick off how hard it is. I got it first time around and not too eager to pay for it again , bit maybe that is just me.

Thoughts?

Not a bad idea!

Day one download for me, best game ever made, imo.

Love the madness of the gaming community, a mad clamour to spend 500 euro in order to play games that they could already play on their current system.

Tbh, my ps5 is almost on its death bed and can afford it. So it's just a logical route. Don't want to face a Christmas period with no console. ..:D

While i got my preorder sorted from smyths (power of f5!), the main games id be looking forward to are the ones not ready yet!
The last of us 2 MP
God of war- ragnorok
Horizon forbidden west (how is there a free upgrade ps4-ps5 when its not out yet?).
Plus be nice to not have the playstation sound like a jet playing the above games, and my boys can still play gta and fortnite on my pro!

Will be my third Demon's Souls platinum when I get it.

I've got the Black Phantom edition of Demon's Souls on PS3. Didn't get too far into it though. Will try it again sometime in the future. Maybe

I have a pre order from the first night it went up, says my shipping is free, but on the page it says free shipping is excluding consoles, not sure how that works if it says I have free shipping?

Ya mine says free as well not sure if its normal or not

So I put myself on the €50 waiting list on GS there when they first appeared,yes I know it's GS but anyway,
last night I got the €50 returned to the revolut card and there was no email that followed either,
I only noticed it happened due to the revolut icon appearing on the top of the phone.
I went into the revolut purchase history and the GS payment now says reverted.

Anyone else do likewise?

Have my GameStop €50 deposit reverted, I wonder why.

While this has not happened to me. I see it's happened to others, stating so on the GS Ireland Twitter feed.
Some have gotten response from GS stating the following....
Now don't take it as absolute gospel, but seems some of you might be ok.

Smyths just confirmed to me on Twitter that there will be no midnight launch. They are suspended for reminder of year due to their COVID policies.

Starting to be really glad that Sony sprung the pre orders as they did and that Smyths did too.

The Xbox preorders with the prewarning and the PS5 preorders the day after and since have been mad, I'd to compete with those watching the stream and those on here. I'd a nice head start and I'm glad of that now, as I wouldn't have liked my chances otherwise.

My order from GameStop shows a €3.50 delivery charge.
I can't remember if I had selected or had the option to select a delivery method.
Or if it automatically selected tracked delivery.
Might be a location thing. I live in Co.Waterford.

Weird, outside the jervis st one is a sign saying they are doing a midnight launch for Series X|S

markcahill1985

Strange. The below is what they said to me.

Regarding midnight launches, we're afraid there are none planned for the remainder of this year due to the Covid-19 procedures in place in all of our stores. Apologies for any disappointment caused

I have TLOU2 on PS4. Not even 1/4 way through the game. I'm gonna wait until I get to play it on PS5.

Would anyone know if I get to have a free upgrade to the PS5 version using my pS4 disc? Or what's the process?

I am a bit of a disc person myself.
Have plenty of games in PS4 disc and was wondering how backwards compatibility will work with those.

I found this article:
https://www.siliconera.com/backwards-compatible-ps4-game-discs-will-be-supported-on-ps5/

So assuming that you are getting the disc version PS5 you should be okay.

Not sure how can one be ok if payment is refunded, anyway I can't care less, I managed to order with Smyth during the second wave and was going to call them to cancel my place in the 'queue' anyway. It is just a bit strange, no email, no nothing.
Maybe be Smyths sharing the data with GS, if so it will be huge privacy issue.

There is no ps5 version to upgrade to. You’d have whatever enhancements the pro version has. Until they announce a ps5 version nobody knows. The multiplayer is expected to be a stand-alone release.

Multiplayer.

Demon's souls and cyberpunk day one for me. I can't wait to finally beat DS and can't wait to finally play CP. Both should keep me going to Christmas when I'll hopefully get spidey ultimate edition off santa. I want NBA 2k20 at some point but in no rush unless they're next gen announcement blows me away. AC Valhalla could be alright but it's hard to get hyped for any Ubi games these days.

Strange policy. As they're just inviting all of the midnight collectors for 8am the following morning! :pac:

Probably won't bother picking up mind until the end of the day. Imagine most collections will end up spaced out during the day.

What games are everyone getting for ps5 ?
Are you going to buy them all that once?
How many games would you normally play

I would say my top 3 are

Fifa
Call of duty
Gta

Looking at something different for a change any recommendations?

I only ever play Call of Duty, no other game anymore, so I have the PS5 version of that preordered and will collect it from Smyths on launch day with the PS5. If the rumoured Metal Gear Solid remake comes out I'll get that too as that's my favourite game ever but other than that it's only COD for me. Getting PS5 over an Xbox due to the COD exclusivity benefits. It makes gaming cheap for me as I'm only into one game so only have to buy one a year

Am I right in saying Cyberpunk PS4 version is launching the same day as the PS5, but a PS5 version of the game is still a way off?

Precisely. The PS4 version will have some sort of boost when played on PS5 until the full next gen version is released, but what exactly that boost will be hasn’t been detailed yet

Fair. I'm working remotely and forget that offices still exist

I'm in two minds whether to get Demons Souls or not. I've never played a Souls game and the talk of how hard they are is putting me off! But the game looks incredible and I see loads of people singing it's praises, and it's the one truly big next gen exclusive game for PS5 at launch.

We haven't seen much of the upgraded games, have we? I'd love to see comparison videos between the PS4 and PS5 versions of Control, Avengers, Witcher, the EA sports games... anything really.
