The last stage of Astrobot really is a treat.

Was wondering if that’s where they’d go when they teased the
Demo 1
screen, and they went there... with the correct aspect ratio and all!

Best moment of the generation and it's only the first week (*_*)

Got my hands on the ps5 : one word to sum it up: bugfest

Its fantastic when it works but fck me: i have 3 screens of error messges. Don't do this, dont do that. External drive would crash it. Ejecting the disc would delete the game just ejected (so I ended up installing the game 3x so far). There are workarounds but bit silly on day 1 (or 2)

On the plus side the games look amazing: NBA 2k14 looked great. NBA 2k21 just looks jawdropping ðŸ˜± And everything loads instantly

Having a great experience so far I must say.

Played Astro for a while as God of War installed and I loved every second of it. A very precise, well balanced game that shows off the controller with a brilliant nod to the history of the PlayStation brand.

I didn't have a PS4 (BTW Microsoft, I'm never going back) and it's the only PlayStation console I've never had, so I've quite a few PS4 games to go through, starting with God of War, I'm really impressed how good it looks. Also navigating the store and downloading the game was a breeze and playable very quickly.

Delighted.

Think I might have to stop playing Cold War: Zombies.
Game was paused when it shut itself down, on restart it did a database rebuild.

At least it wasn't a software reinstall.

Will play multiplayer only for rest of day to see if it's just with Zombie mode.

Hate tempting fate but I've been completely bug free so far. I didn't transfer any titles over from PS4, all fresh downloads. Even left it in rest mode with a HDD plugged in. Nothings crashed, no errors, nothing.

.G.

I've had one crash when loading a PS4 but all smooth otherwise.

Some of those leaderboard times on the speedruns in Astro are insane!

Luckily having no issues so far on the digital edition. Console running like a dream and Demon souls is an amazing game. Have never played them before.

I think its fairly clear that external hard drives are causing issues. I wouldn't be using them at all for the moment folks until a patch is released. There are also issues with data transfers from the PS4 which seem to be causing problems. Again, I'd avoid it for the time being.

Unearthly

Had a great morning there playing it. Its a fantastic console, just needs a patch to fix a few of the crash issues.

Download speeds such an upgrade. My ps5 is very quiet

How Soon Is Now

Afraid to say it in case I jinx it but no issues performance-wise so far. No crashes bugs etc hopefully stays that way!

The disk drive making loads of noise at the start is about it but that stops quick enough. Very quiet otherwise!

I installed Fallout 76 from disc, it started copying by itself straight away, awful racket compared to the nba disk, definite difference between the 2 but just for the initial disk spinning. Once done, i put nba in and out was still installed thankfully.

Anyone know if i download GTA 5, can i play online with ps4 users?

My toddler decided sleep is for the weak last couple of nights so still need to put in a good session!

You're playing the PS4 version of the game so you should be good

MS have pulled a massive coup by buying Bethesda and I can’t wait to play the new elder scrolls on my series x. A lot will go back just for that game alone.

You will be yeah. Saw someone playing R6 Siege on PS5 and other players were surprised he was on PS5 as they were on PS4.

I mean they're definitely going to release Elder Scrolls on PS5. They can't afford to miss out on the PS market after making a 7.5 billion investment. The big advantage Xbox users will have is that they'll get the games on Game Pass.

Why would you think that? Microsoft hardly need the money, they're one of the wealthiest companies in the world.

They aren't wealthy enough to drop 7.5 billion on a software company only to halve their potential customer base! It will be 2 years at least before you see Bethesda exclusives on xbox.

I don't think you realize how big Microsoft actually is. Even if the purchase was for cash the 7.5b is around 5% of the overall cash reserves of 135b.

In most cases a large acquisition like this involves cash and share exchange so the actual outlay is much less.

Also it's not halving it's customer base. The games will be available on PC and Xbox.

All I'm saying is don't get your hopes up about seeing future Bethesda games on Playstation.

Of course they are wealthy enough, they are a trillion dollar company. Their model now for Xbox is gamepass and selling consoles. What kind of company would they be if they start putting their own games on a rival console?

Why are we discussing Microsoft in the PS5 thread in the PlayStation forum? Can’t we have a thread for people to enjoy their brand new console without this console war nonsense being brought into it?

Tsdckcaj

True, Microsoft have huge cash reserves which is a bit of a weird one but I don't think it impacts this piece of business. Time will tell I suppose but I can see the majority of Bethesda games coming to PS5.

It's fairly relevant to the PS5 I would have thought? I don't see how this is console war nonsense, we're just discussing what we think will happen.

There's no console war stuff going on.

McFly85

It looked to be going that way-someone mentions their loving their first PlayStation after an Xbox then the discussion turns to Microsoft’s zenimax buyout being great for Xbox, which is right now of no relevance.

There’s a thread in the general gaming thread to discuss the 2 consoles.

Anyway! Today was my first real chance to play with it after being slammed with work, and I’m loving it. Demons souls looks beautiful, I can’t stop admiring the front of the castle in the first level(which is good because I’m seeing them a lot!)

And astros playroom! I played for about an hour this morning with a big smile on my face most of the time, loving some of the old references!

The GPU song in astrobot is brilliant. Been in my head all day today.

Exactly, I have both new consoles so don’t know what Marty McFly is on about.

Total earworm.

The lyrics are hidden in the jungle level as well, they're great

Is there any difference between copying PS4 to PS5 instead of just redownloading?

I'd imagine a lot of people on Boards will end up with both at some stage. I got a PS5 and a Series X but gave the PS to my brother and the SX to a friend because it's just to busy in work to use everything so I've stuck with my 3070 for the moment.

I'll get both early next year though.

Don’t think so, and honestly with how fast it downloads games I’m not sure if it’s a huge benefit to transfer from the PS4.

SomeSayKos

Having never owned a ps3 this was my first chance to play demons souls and its fast becoming my favourite in the series (except for sekiro ). Its a brilliant game and the fast loading makes dying and warping way less tedious.
