Agree would certainly be an oversight if it doesn't work. But since psvr came before the ps5 camera, maybe it's a comparability issue. Anyhow, still not confirmed either way (just had a quick google myself too) more just a note of caution before we know either way.

Looking forward to the loading screens improving, iron man was worst example on ps4, immersion was completely destroyed by the loading screens

Can’t see the new camera supporting the current psvr. Sony would have to force all developers to enable it or risk making a mess of the whole ecosystem. Imagine having to swap cameras depending on the game.

On the super expensive storage: The XSX allows you to use a standard external HD to “park” your games. Does the PS5 have a similar option?

Sony have yet to clarify what kind of external SSDs will meet the size and speed requirements of the PS5.

And just to clarify in case some might not know, an external HD on an Xbox Series X can still be used for every currently playable game. It's the next-gen games that need to be on the SSD.

We should be getting a ton of PS5 info this week from the western world, most importantly, Digital Foundry.

That controller ‘leaked’ a few months ago. It’s either a dev kit controller or a fake, Sony wouldn’t release a controller that looks that awful (I hope)

Yip. But you can store next gen games on the external HD. You have to move them back to the SSd to use them, but it’s a great feature if you’ve appalling internet like me. Sony has really been poor at communicating their features this gen.

Well, according to this, it's relatively quiet at least - 4gamer.

Relatively quiet so far. My PS4 started off fine and after a few months it was stupidly loud.

I'd like to see a tear down of the PS5 like Digital Foundry did for the Series X.

Sony have a timer set for the fan to break after a few months to drive you had so you go and buy the newer model with improved fan, shnakes.

I worked for sony laptop support before and i had to tell a guy it was 500 pounds to replace his motherboard after liquid spillage was found and not covered by the warranty (yes, the price for repairs was outrageous).

He then claimed, and was deadly serious, that Sony fitted their laptops with vials of water and a timer where the vial would break and ruin the laptop and he'd have to pay more to get it fixed. He even went the legal route. Never heard from him again but i hope he won

No noticable fan noise and console still cool after 80 minutes

Hoping someone can clear this up for me.

If I buy a PS5 and want to play Bloodborne including DLC, am I better off:

- just buying disc or digital GOTY edition

- using the version on the PS+ collection and separately buying the DLC. I believe PS+ doesn’t include DLC but I’m open to correction. I’d also note that I would be getting ps+ anyway

I'm in the market for a PS5 and Fifa 21. Currently have a PS4.

Is my best bet buying the disc version of FIFA 21 for the PS4?

Will this game work then on both consoles as the "PS4" version of the game, and then I'll get the PS5 version for free as a download from the PSN store?

Have EA said they would upgrade for free?
If so, then yes.

Yes, but you still need to keep the PS4 disc to play the 'free' PS5 version

Anywhere taking pre orders, I missed the first one and had a order in the basket second time round but couldn't complete the purchase , site kept crashing.

There's some translations in this reddit thread - https://old.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/j4wsgi/playstation_5_first_impressions_from_japanese/

TL;DR, nothing unexpected. All of the outlets mention that the console is quiet, that the loading times are very fast and that the controller's haptics are great. But this was all to be expected/announced already.

I want to see some Digital Foundry style videos like what went out for the Series X, Direct loading comparisons etc.

With the announcement that they're suggesting a national lockdown again, I wonder will Smyth's force people to change to delivery Vs collection now? Gonna be hard to justify 100s queuing outside a shop to collect a gaming console as essential travel

One of the reason I went for delivery for both of the new consoles, was just in case something like this happened.

I think they could stagger "kerb side" pickups for the consoles. Give people a time frame of 30 minutes when they can pick up there consoles for those who don't want to change to delivery.

To be fair the release isn't until 19th November and recommendation is for 4 weeks. It'll be cutting it tight but there's a high chance it won't come to that

How Soon Is Now · 04-10-2020 09:50PM

:pac: First thing i taught about when i heard that tonight was **** ps5 ha.

Sure look take it as it comes we have no control over whatever happens there making it up as they go along anyway!

christy c · 04-10-2020 10:57PM

I have a PS4 500gb. Other than done deal/adverts, are the only options to sell with Cex or trade in to GS?

Absolutely essential!

Level 5 will see only essential retail open so smyths would have to close so I'd hope collection would auto change to delivery but if we go into full lockdown again, surely deliveries would take a hit again.

So if the country could cop on for the next 4 weeks, no parties, wear your mask, wash your hands etc, we might be alright for PS5 launch.

RGARDINR · 04-10-2020 11:02PM

Just wondering if you have an order say in gamestop but not fully paid off would they if we go into a full lockdown and they know people who should get same do home delivery instead for them since the ps5 plus xbox may not even make it into their stores. I hope they can be a bit more pro active just in case.

I'm telling you now... top brass at NPHET missed out on pre-orders, and this is how they get one. Fuckers. :mad:
