PS5 thread 2.0

ERG89 · 22-11-2020 02:30PM

Sony really has a lot of things to do on the firmware side of the PS5. So far we have the PS5 shutting itself down randomly, rest mode issues, installing free game upgrades not working, games uninstalling themselves, cloud save issues, communication problems using external drives, the system rebuilding its database when it gets an error, games still taking forever copying to the internal drive & when doing that its as loud as the PS4 was. Hopefully they can solve all those with firmware updates but its too many problems for a system to have 10 days after launch.

Also, websites finally reporting on the issues with AC/WD upgrades

I sent the issue to Eurogamer too so hopefully they'll publish it and put a bit more pressure on them to sort.

The little movie scenes in astro are so good. I literally just stood and watched the resident Evil one over and over, so class.

I loved this! I burst out laughing when I saw the vib ribbon one!

In astro bot, it was the Dante from DMC for me, interrupt what he is doing and he starts off the combo as per the game, I loved it!

.G. · 22-11-2020 04:23PM

Few more issues for me now but only three in total so far. All while playing ps4 games on the ps5 internal storage. All hard lockups where the PS5 takes a few minutes to sort itself back out and reboot.

No database rebuilding errors yet.

no mention anywhere of it being fixed. Will keep Rest mode deactivated until there is concrete evidence that it's been fixed.

Has there been a recent update from Sony? I have mine set to download the updates automatically but not update automatically.

Also, how long does it take to charge the new controllers? Does the light go off when they are fully charged? Can they be charged with a USB-C charger that is used for my Note 20 Ultra say?

Cheers,

Takes a good while to charge the controllers while connected to the PS5 anyway. Wish they would update the indicator for it instead of just having a standard charging symbol with constantly filling bar.

0ph0rce0 · 22-11-2020 05:00PM

Loving it so far.

Only niggle for me is the stupid ps button on the dualsense. Wish they had added a light to the logo or even just white or off white like the console.

Keep hitting mic instead in lowish light or vice versa

Annoying but all good.

I've had my PlayStation in rest mode multiple times with no issues. Not a widespread problem

Wing126 · 22-11-2020 05:13PM

I think the rest mode crash is a per game basis. Insomniac just tweeted that their latest patch fixes "rest mode crash" in Spider-Man Remastered.

The mic button being on automatically is bound to lead to some awkward situations

Didn't they run into legal issues with Sony and had to cancel all orders?

I heard that too - but seems to be back up and running now again. I assume legalities resolved or Sony lawyers would be all over them as before...

Completed Astrobot there, 100% all trophies

What a fun game.

I could see them doing themed games like an Astrobot Uncharted game etc where all levels and artifacts are from the series of games.

Whatever they release next I will certainly buy

Wonda-Boy · 22-11-2020 06:03PM

In relation to my "Replacement" console, they did try the contact Sony spiel but I shut that down pretty quickly.

Not saying that everyone will get a new console as I said I was very lucky but lets say I let them know in no uncertain terms I was a little bit annoyed!

How long is the timeframe?

IIRC there was no time limit, but Irish law now says 6 years. It's also dependent on the product and expected life, so the expected life for a console, imo, would be the 6 years at least. Might take a bit of fighting, and even a trip to the small claims court if necessary, but Ireland has very good limitation laws. Most countries give 1 year, the standard in the EU is 2 years, but Irish Law says 6years to bring a claim. The actual timeframe is worded as such: "This does not mean that a product has to last 6 years but if the goods do not last a reasonable length of time you may be entitled to some remedy"

Reasonable length for a console, to me, would be the 6 years considering the time between gens. Would be a bit of a battle though after a few years.

Irishbrick · 22-11-2020 09:36PM

Astro bot is most fun I've had in ages with a game, the feeling of the pad when you whip out an umbrella and the ice skating have been my ps5 highlights so far!

I will have my Switch 4 years next March but it is gone off to Nintendo now a few weeks! Two cracks in the body close to the heat sink/grill at the top and of course the Joy Con issue! Should I fight with them do you reckon?

Apologies if a bit off topic, just want to know whether I should fight them on it as I am expecting a bill!

Loving my PS5 by the way, especially the controller!

It's been a joy of a game to play. I spent nearly an hour this morning just watching my young lad running around CPU Plaza with the blaster gun getting all the bots to follow him around.

I did the same thing... Except I don't have a son and I'm 30.... It was me... I ran around with the blaster gun getting all the bots to follow me around

I can't make that decision for you, but because it's 4 years it would be a harder battle. However, if the issues can be proven to not be user caused, you should have a case. It's hard to put a timeframe on consoles, because of how they're used, and especially with the Switch being a portable device and a lot more open to user caused faults. JoyCon issue should be covered by Nintendo as it's well known, like the stick drift on the early PS4 controllers.

Whatever you decide to do, best of luck! Most companies will try and use their own countries laws against you, but as they sell in Ireland, they are responsible under Irish Consumer Law.

Re: Astro, as someone mentioned above, there is a huge opportunity there for a full game with each level set in the world of a PS game. I would immediately buy that.

Asylum15 · 22-11-2020 11:14PM

Been absolutely glued to mine since last Thursday, happily knew a DPD courier and got mine delivered on the dot.

Platinum'd Astro and stuck in Cold War which I love, it's simpler, old school COD.

Anyone up for COD/FIFA 21? Add me FurtiveSway, let me know you're from Boards!

Gave it a quick go, easy to play but not my type of game I reckon. Might try it again down the line when I've nothing else to play, which could be never.

Just finished gpu jungle on astro. Between the song, the movie scenes, the hidden lyrics, just magical. How can a glorified tech demo be in the running for game of the year? I don't know but it is.

How Soon Is Now · 23-11-2020 01:09AM

Had the weirdest yet coolest thing happen playing Spider-Man tonight.

Just finished a side mission and at very end noticed Miles had disappeared... No, wait he's just changed into a heat lamp sitting outside a store!!

I was able to walk web sling and fly around as a lamp ha. Whatever way I moved I then ended up turning into a piece of shelter on a roof wtf lol.

Took a video of it to capture the moment of madness forever ha.

After seeing the microphone beside my name on nba 2k online, i realised my mic was auto on and i was ****ing my teammates out of it for being useless. Mute mute mute!!!! In my defense, they were useless..

I saw you can have our to be muted on login by default.

"From the home screen, select the settings icon and navigate to Settings>Sound>Microphone. From there, you can switch “Microphone Status When Logged In” to “Mute.”

Ubisoft have at least on their forums noted that their team are looking into the issue of disc upgrades to PS5.
