I bought it the week of release, and I still go back to Battlefield very regularly. Its a great shooter, and deeper than the usual shooters.

This month's free games are now available

Zero-Cool · 04-05-2021 10:20AM

Not much interest in BF V but that's a great month for games. Stranded Deep is 2.6gb and Wreckfest is 22.7gb for anyone interested.

Hopefully can get a Boardsie destruction derby going sometime this week.

Definitely be into some of that. I have it on PC but none of my friends play it.

Wreckfest online is great. The worst positions are first and last. The fun is in the middle tryin to gain/hold position. Must try the destruction derby later.

A lot of players in game chat said ps4 wreckfest was very poor. That the ps5 60fps version is the only version to play. Maybe you arent missing out.

I'd be up for that too. Really enjoyed it on Ps4, looking forward to giving the souped up Ps5 version a go later. Does anyone know if your ps4 saves carry over to the ps5 version?

Does the PS5 update not release on June 1st? How are they playing it now?

Don't know about the base PS4 but the game ran fine on the Pro. Well as fine as 30fps can be

Can't say I'm too happy with the €10 upgrade fee givin the amount of content that's behind DLC pay walls.

I have it a while and downloaded it before today so to have it ready. When I powered on the PS5 a bit ago, there was a 1-ish gb update to what I had, but when checking the PS+ library I had to download the PS5 version (22Gb), even though when you press options on the game icon, it said it was already the PS5 version...

Well this is the version i have from last night. Looks like the ps5 version to me. Plays really smooth.

Stranded Deep is TOUGH

The Raging Bile Duct · 05-05-2021 11:30AM

Battlefield V was doing strange things to my PS5 when I tried to download it. It said I need approx 92 GBs so I cleared it so I had about 99 GB free. As soon as I started to download it it give me the error message that there wasn't enough space and need the 92 GB space. Checked storage and it said I only had 11 GB free. Deleted the download, checked my storage and it said I had 99 GB free. Tried the download again, got the error message straight away and this time it said I needed 43 GB of free space. Checked my storage and again it said I only had 11 GB free again. Deleted the download again and checked my storage and it was back to 99 GB again. I gave up at that stage.

That's normal for PS platforms. You need as much in free space above the amount to actually install the game as psn uses encrypted files.

Just be glad it isn't CoD, it needs nearly 200gb in free space to install patches due to updates requiring a copy of the entire installation.

It's bs that Sony haven't sorted out since PS3.

I understand the issue with needing twice the space, I just never had the issue I described where I had the space it required and it still wouldn't download.

Had a crack at Wreckfest last night, it’s pretty good fun I must say. Haven’t gone online yet but there’s a decent variety of cars and races in career and the gameplay and graphics are solid, really looks like an AAA title at times. Menus are a bit of a mess but it’s not a huge issue.

It’s well worth a try anyway, it’d be some craic to get plenty here online for a destruction derby.

Cienciano · 06-05-2021 09:40PM

Wreck fest is great, played a good bit on ps4. It's great the way the AI ahead of you in single player can crash out on their own

Played first couple of levels of streets of rage 4 and deleted it, it looks pretty and has a bit of a nostalgia factor but other than that, side scrolling beat em ups have no real value for me.

Played an hour or so of wreckfest, looks pretty but car games aren't my bag and it's not nearly as fun as destruction derby. Deleted.

No, it was added to PS Now.

Really enjoying Wreckfest. The most enjoyment I've gotten out of a PS Plus game in a while and something I never would have picked up myself.

When you spend the majority of your gaming time in the sim racing world, arguing over sportsmanly behavior and stuff, it's a tonic to win some games by just downright sh!thousery

I channel my inner Burnout:Takedown by ramming opponents into trees and pillars. So satisfying!!
