Have to say I'm not too excited with most of the PS5 launch titles. More Spiderman, more Demons Souls etc. Nothing too original for the launch?

It's always the way at launch in the modern era. PS4 was no better. Games just take so long to make. Nobody wants to spend 4 years making a brilliant original game and then release it on a system with no install base yet.

It's why we're seeing remasters (cheap to make) and cross-gen titles. It'll be a few years before next-gen really gets going.

You will be a while waiting for compatible PS5 SSDs, you need to make sure they are ones whitelisted by Sony, and they aren't out until around December anyway and could cost half the price of the machine...

What did you sell with it?

It was probably voucher as they are currently giving that amount as a voucher for a pro

I would have pre-ordered a PS5 anyway, but forgot to check at the right time for the extra Smyths units, so looks like I have to wait either way. AC Valhalla does look cool though - I would take that had I secured a unit.

One game that is pretty exciting is the Hogwarts game

but that doesn't have a release date as of yet... Equally would be excited to play R6 Siege on PS5.

Anyway, I guess I can look forward to Cyberpunk on PS4, and that should presumably keep me busy as things develop and settle a little for PS5. Presumably there will be bundles a little down the line.

Depends on what's installed.

PS5: Size of the launch games

Demon's Souls: 66gb
Spider-Man Miles Morales: 55gb
Spider-Man Moral Miles Ultimate Edition: 105GB

The SSD in the PS5 is 825GB and I'm not sure if the Operating System space
has been included in that figure.

Most people (incl Sony) are using mixed units when talking about game and SSD size. It makes the storage situation seem a little bit better than it actually is.

For example, when they say Miles Morales Ultimate is 105GB, they actually mean GiB. Gibibyte, not gigabyte.

The SSD size using these units is 768GiB. This is the total size, before any reserved space.

It is not only Sony who does it. Storage vendors (HDD/SSD) have always used GB when advertising their products. It's why a 1TB HDD immediately goes to 930GB when you stick it in your computer.

I spotted this earlier on and got excited, thought €180 + my Pro and some games was a great offer.

But then I started reading this thread and realised it'd be unlikely I'd actually get the PS5 before xmas from GS .

Pre-ordered with GameStop on the 17th of September. Nothing came off my PayPal and no email or history of it on my account. What is the chances of getting this before Christmas? No idea what happened.

Same for me. She just linked the order to another account as they were having trouble with the system. I rang during the week as there was no order showing up online. My pre order is there, it’s just under another account. Ring them with your detail to make sure.

Edit - sorry I just read you made a mistake - ignore the above.

How many games will the digital console be able to hold, my friends ps4 has two games and the hdd is full! Says he can't update cod due to no space.

Also, they say that the game downloads can be adaptive, as in if the game has single player, multiplayer online platform, etc, you can pick and choose which to download.

If you haven't played a CoD in a few years, it'll probably be good, but to me the Alpha felt like a reskin for the MW reboot last November. That's strictly from a multyplayer point of view, if you play for the campaign I've no idea what it'll be like.

I love where they're going with it. They fixed a lot of the silly things that Infinity Ward changed with Modern Warfare that turned it into a really slow camp fest, such as bringing back the mini map to end the low cautious play, brought back three-lane maps, got rid of all the camp friendly windows, increased time to kill so you don't get instantly killed, increased health, and got rid of the killstreak system the encouraged camping and kill whoring on objective games. I'm really hopeful this year. The Alpha wasn't great but it is an alpha, not even a beta, and shows the great potential it has. Self expect it to play better on the PS5 as the game as it was developed using the PS5 and wasn't properly optimised for the PS4 and many believe the was a big issue with the Alpha

The average game will average somewhere between 40–50GB. Unless it's Call of Duty coming in around 200GB. The good thing about the PS5 is it comes with 825GB SSD hard drive.

If your internet is shítty then this could become a PITA once you have a decent sized collection of game however.

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

How would this work with the digital PS5? Is it available to buy on the PS5 at launch but it will be the PS4 version?

jimmytwotimes 2013

Went with launch PS3 and PS4. Kinda feel it'll take a year for PS5 to really separate itself from previous gen. I'm running a Pro so have enuf to be getting on with.

Both launch units died on me too so that's prob at back of my mind. Will see what the first PES/Madden efforts are like on PS5, prob pull trigger before Xmas 2021.

Enjoy all who have one lined up for launch.

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.

This is supposedly a primer for people who haven't played the original (I haven't watched the video yet, so don't know how useful it is).

Seen this offer on the GameStop website also.

"Get 50% off new Games when you bring in one game from our trade list."

It only mentions Xbox Series X / S though. I wonder if PS5 games apply also

Yes they would put it in your account.

Going to grab one or two the games cheap and trade in if they have my ps5 for release day

So if I traded in my PS4 Pro and 3 games, would I need to pay them the €180 at that time?

Then they would put €500 into my GameStop account?

And that €500 can then only be redeemed to buy a PS5 once it's eventually available?

Plenty of these size comparison vids going around already, but in case you haven't seen one yet;

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

Lads I played the first hour of Bloodborne and found it utterly tedious. Is Demon Souls more or less the same?

I have to be the voice from the other side, I was the same as you, completely boring and annoying, and I played a few more hours than you and it didn't change for me. Tried DS1 and 2 also, and more of the same so didn't get beyond a few hours (up to 6 on one of them) and it didn't make me want to play any more, so I personally think they're not great games at all.

Just to give you a non-praising opinion on it. But be careful, you can't really have a negative opinion of these games.

Which brings be full circle to the main reason for getting the disc version. Look at Sekiro, the lowest I have seen it on PSN is €45. At full price, it's a massive risk on a game you're unsure if you'll like. I got burned with Destiny by buying at full price digitally, and only ended up playing about 5 hours of it. Wasted money. Demon Souls remake looks good, visually at least, but if the gameplay is the same it would, to be, be wasted money. I'll probably pick it up, just to have a 'next gen' game to play on the 5, but wouldn't even consider if it I didn't have the option to trade it back in soon after.
