PS5 thread 2.0

Picked up Miles Morales yesterday. Selected PS5 version but the PS4 disc was installing. Took a few tries to figure out to get to the 'purchase' page for the free download to register. Maybe it's just me but I feel that could work a bit better.

The game looks fantastic. Considering it's cross gen and early days, it will probably be a year before we really see games taking advantage of the system.

There's games where I was amazed on the PS4 Pro and yet it's still a step up, it's hard to see where we could improve from here. Regardless of if you're Xbox or Playstation, the fact we can get these graphics from a console is just mind blowing. No need for a €1,500 graphics card these days.

I'm really looking forward to the next few years, there's some interesting new IPs coming out in the next year or so and I'm really excited to see what the likes of Gran Turismo or a new Grand Theft Auto will look like.

The 60 FPS/Raytracing mode in that game is some kind of sorcery, combined with the loading times and the dualsense support, it was the kind of next-gen feeling I hadn't felt since Mario 64.

Are you guys running with the game default FPS etc?

Or manually setting.....

I have 4K TV but without HDR.

Which game?

Good question.

Did not have a specific one in mind. More of a general question.

But I’m currently playing Spider-Man (Miles), COD Cold War, Sackboy.

Thanks

Different games have different options for FPS and Resolution.

My preference is 60FPS first. If I've to play at 1080P to get that then I will. For me 60FPS adds more to a game than 4K does.

Beforehand I would have normally chosen quality of performance mode, as I was fine with a locked 30 fps but not fine with 1080p. On PS5 performance mode generally runs at resolutions above 1080p and locked 60 FPS, so been sticking with performance.

Hey guys. Just a quick question about CoD Cold War. Thinking of buying the Battle Pass. Is it a one time purchase,or do i have to keep buying a new pass once the season is over. Not very familiar with this as b4 getting the PS5 we only had the PS3. Thanks in advance.

As far as I’m aware you can purchase the battle pass one time and if you complete all the tiers which I believe there are 100 you will have gained enough virtual coins to purchase the next battle pass.

So assuming you don’t spend the coins on cosmetics you can purchase the battle pass once and then continue to get future passes for free basically.

Just got PS5 yesterday. Trying to download the new God Of War update. Everytime I check for updates the console says update available and to go to downloads to check progress. When I go to downloads there update isn't there anywhere. Stating up the game tells me to update to latest version but again no sign of an update in the queue. Any ideas or am I doing something wrong here?

If you downloaded it, it should already be the latest version. Just check if enhanced performance mode is available, that’s the PS5 mode.

In case anyone isn't following the PlayStation Bargains thread.

The first episode of We Were Here is free until February 22 on the PlayStation Store.

Game Description:
If you don’t know, our games are cooperative first-person puzzle adventures where your goal is to escape, and all you have is a pair of walkie-talkies. You and your partner will be challenged to work together on the same wavelength in order to solve puzzles and explore.

Each game is two player online co-op only, in which players take the roles of Antarctic explorers. The first two games We Were Here and We Were Here Too see players forced to seek cover by a blinding snowstorm, when they come across Castle Rock – a mysterious medieval castle in the wastes of Antarctica. Upon entering, you become separated from each other – can you and your friend escape Castle Rock?

I see law firms in the US are investigating a potential 'class action lawsuit' against Sony for dualsense drift issues.

Have to say it's annoying for an expensive piece of kit. I have the drift issue myself in one of my two controllers. Annoying to resolve, have to dig up my receipt.

Anybody else having bother charging the controller in rest mode?

I did at launch but it stopped after a day. Check your power settings, if that doesn’t work try seeing if it will charge from a different port.

I had to exchange my DualSense because the R2 trigger broke.

The X Button on the new one is sticking. Raging with the DualSense to be honest.

What you lads reckon re delay to God of War Ragnarok? Meant to be out this year but assume I'm not the only one expecting it to be 2022?

Nearly sure it's going to be delayed.
Unless it's a way shorter game.
Sony have enough big games this year anyway.
Returnal, Deathloop, R&C, Horizon FW and GT7 are more than enough.

It is definitely getting delayed, IMO it will be March next year before we see it. As mentioned above, they have enough games on the slate for this year. I think we will see Horizon in Aug/Sep and GT7 in its standard Nov/Dec release slot.

I don't think gt7 will be that late

Yea unfortunately I think you're right. Think a lot of games pencilled in for this year will be released next year which is understandable but still pants because really want a few that will take good advantage of the ps5 capabilities.
