Got it back by pressing the playstation button and going back to a previous level

Never thought I'd be dying for a system software update

These sound perfectly normal to me.

In the teardown videos it has a massive fan to dissipate heat that pushes air through the system.

I am sure if everybody held their phone inches from the ps5 and recorded it they would all sound the same.

But with ambient room noise and gameplay music it’s not noticeable at all.

I don’t think any of you need to worry.

Yeah maybe they sound different in person and listening to a recording distorts it but they sound completely normal to me?

I'm so glad I haven't personally experienced any crashing yet but Ive still to fully dive into MM so problems could await me yet.

Plat'd Astros too! So fun

Seems a widespread issue based on twitter.

Trying to find the videos of the noise people are experiencing on their PS5’s, would anyone have a link handy? My digital, although quiet, has some sort of ‘buzz’ going on which is weird.

It is a very hot console too, behind it. Will have to rethink where I put this now

The adaptive triggers use in Astro is amazing but have to say, in Miles Morales and Spider-Man Remastered, the triggers ‘fight’ you when traversing. When web-swinging they resist when they’re about 3/4 pressed, but for no reason I can understand that would improve gameplay.
Turned it off and makes zipping around way more enjoyable

Call of duty is a shambles alright. Still can't get past the sign up screen without the console crashing

Probably too late for you but for anyone else with the same problem if you mute the microphone on the mic I think it does it automatically.

Got the platinum earlier and I don't think I ever blew into the mic.

Onto the Spider-Man remaster now, decided to go with the 60 fps mode as it feels nicer and I'm still using a 1080p tv.

It took nearly 9 hours today to copy Mortal Kombat 11 and apply the PS5 update which came to about 100GB in the end, has anyone else has similar lengths as this is even worse than PS4 times.

Yeah, I think it downloaded the whole thing again, this time on the PS5 directly. I left it over night in rest mode so it and a few other downloads could finish.

Watch dogs legion already on sale on PSN for €45.

I think it looks terrible but might interest someone here at sale price.

Ah, you're not alone there, because I just learned that right now.

Also just realised there is a separate download for the PS5 version of Valhalla, so downloading that now. Was beginning to think the improvements were strictly to do with loading!

Also have Ghost of Tsushima queued to download. Supposed to be a huge visual improvement.

I've heard a lot of good things about it, you're right in saying that there's just no interest right now. There's a lot of big games out at the minute that would be taking up people's time. Like you said, Demon Souls and Spider-Man, and then there's Assassin's Creed, Watch Dogs etc.

I'll probably pick it up when it's on sale.

I picked it up and regretting it. Did the first few levels and coming from Astro's Playroom it's just not in the same league. Feels like a very basic by the numbers platform game, with LBP aesthetics that do look good, but nothing else of what made LBP unique.

Jim Ryan teasing a Gamepass type announcement.

- How will you respond to Microsoft’s Game Pass?

- There is actually news to come, but just not today. We have PlayStation Now which is our subscription service, and that is available in a number of markets.

It's actually really sad because Sackboy is brilliant but it's just getting overshadowed by Miles and Demon's. If you like 3D Platformers, seriously, you will not regret picking this game up. This is an absolute top tier 3D Platformer and up to the same standard as Super Mario 3D World.

The music, haptics, visuals, gameplay are all stellar in Sackboy and this is a bit of a hidden gem of a game at the moment.

It has these brilliant levels where the level itself and the sound effects are timed to a song, like this one with Bruno Mars' Uptown Funk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKjEfN_3gnM

OK folks, I’m opening a book on which comes first:

- Dave’s Demon’s Souls platinum trophy
- Non-Launch PS5 pre-orders from GameStop

COD is causing some Series X to go mad as well but not to the extent of needing a system software reinstall.

Okay Okay I did turn Astro back on and jesus it sucks you into it. Wait that green just killed me, I'm going to get past him before finishing my lunch break. Oh look something to interact with and you're drag into the game.

I also got the chance to get a feel for the adaptive triggers in Legion. It is weird, I was like why did the gun fire then but not now? The driving in the game is much better, cars don't drive 300mph, they seem rather "normal".

Giving it a break, trying out Valhalla. Loads a lot quicker than the PS4 version.
