I'd be fuming, however I was playing Astro's Playroom at the time :pac:

Most satisfying platinum I ever got

Is it a pain in the arse to get? I loved the game and wouldn't mind going back to platinum it, but not if it is gonna annoy me and ruin my impression of the game

Its a handy platinum. Few hours and you should be done. Very satisfying to get though!

The only sort of difficult part is the time trials but it’s absolutely doable. Otherwise it’s not difficult and shouldn’t take very long

Plus, you get to play with those wonderful controls for longer which I really miss. Can’t wait for games to start to fully utilise the adaptive feedback

Time trials aren't required for the Platinum. I didn't do them and have the trophy.

Nah they're all pretty straightforward. First and only platinum I've ever got.

You'll get the majority pretty easily by completing all the levels and collecting all the puzzle pieces and artefacts. There's a bunch more for interacting with the various things that get added to the trophy room, then a couple more for doing certain actions in the game, like hitting certain targets with the bow and arrow on the level where you pick it up. A couple of them you might need a guide to find, but they're all very doable.

It's a joy how quickly you can bounce around the different levels with zero loading times when you're hunting for collectables.

Lads is the media remote in stock anywhere online? Seems to be sold out in all the usual places

It's really simple and very satisfying.

In fact it's so easy that I've never got a platinum in a game in all of my years playing PlayStation and this was my first.

You'll pick up more artefacts and puzzle pieces along the way so it's an enjoyable experience as opposed to being a pain.

Are you sure you need it, your TV remote should be able to control some of the PS5 features already if it's anywhere modern.

You need a new splitter, that one can't support the bandwidth of the PS5's HDMI output. I suggest you spend a few quid on it as well seen as how all of your devices are using it.

I assumed as much but nice to get confirmation on it.

Any ideas or recommendations? Don't wanna end up with the same issue again :pac:

It’s not tbh man. I’ve a bog standard HD Toshiba that I got when the PS4 released. I had a media remote for the PS4 and they were handy out.

I am no expert on splitters, but make sure to get one that can at least pass through a 4K/60Hz signal.

This one looks like it could do the trick:

Have to say DIRT 5 on the PS5 is in a terrible state still....you be lucky to get 5 races in before it crashes!!!!

I was on the codemasters website and it is a shambles aswell no news about the game at all and the last post was months ago....its like the game was not even play tested. When it works its very good the triggers and feedback is brilliant, but there is also a stampede race 3/4s of the way through and it just keeps resetting you top track at a certain corner.

Cant believe it has not been patched yet, thanx fcuk I got it for 34 euro.

Finally got the PS5 in Argos today. Most of the staff had no idea that were there and two of them offered me money for it, then they ran to the store manager to ask if there's anymore ðŸ˜…

Lads, with Spider-Man Remastered being so class and now Fifa 21 being so different and using the controller a bit........... it really feels like a next gen console! It's brilliant!

My brother has the new XBox and that didn't have nearly as much of a next-gen feel when I was playing it!

So Tesco called me today about my cancelled pre-order with them.
They are getting more in stock shortly and are calling down the list of cancellations to see if you still want one, they said my local store will have them available for collection on 14th December

Agreed it's disgraceful.
The out of bounds reset point in Sandstone Valley is a joke.
Got onto them on twitter about the issues.

How is fifa different? Wouldn't mind picking that up in the sale at some point but interested to know what's different from the last gen games.

Just get the new season update for Pes or what ever there calling it these days.

The game looks great considering it hasn't got a next-gen update and plays a million times better than any of the Fifa's. Plus its 20 euro at the most!

McDermotX

I wouldn't say FIFA is 'much' different TBH, though I was more of a PC player than console.
On the whole, you can see the improvement over the other versions, some areas more than others, but it's the lovely little animations that are factored in now that elevate it. Caught Mane more than once eyeing up the fullback when play is developing on the other flank, just biding his time.
Sometimes the cut scene replay shots dont look any improved over the PC, but its obviously due to some players having more time put into their models etc
Lot more gesticulating from the players on decsions etc, DualSense gets a workout (but TBH, I'm more used to playing it on a Xbox pad). Personally I always found the PS pads a little imprecise with football games, but obviously others will feel different.
Different default camera to the normal versions, which seems to give it a different 'feel' etc, bit like PES2020's camera actually, where it feels more TV, not quite catching up with fast paced through balls etc

Glad to pick it up on the cheap, but its still FIFA for better and worse, but doesn't give the next-gen WOW ahead of other titles IMO, so full price purchase is pushing it a bit. Skipping main titles direct from the dash is great though - one of the real improvements this gen.

If you wanna do that stage you can, hug the left bend around (go wide left) and you will not get reset.
But its a disaster TBH.

Lads, I'm going for the platinum on Astro (completed the main game), but looking at the trophies I still need to complete everything, and they're all listed as "hidden". That is, I have no idea what I've to do to complete the platinum! Is this normal?

Click the trophy, press options button and select to view hidden info.

There is an option to reveal the trophy details when in the trophy section.

So frustrating that fifa 21 on PS5 can't be played with ps4 players... Me and my mate can't play unless I have the ps4 version booted...

That tip for hidden trophies is brilliant thanks guys..
