PS5 thread 2.0

Was able to reserve Alan Wake just now at my local Argos so worth keeping an eye on your local one.it only popped up in the last 5mins

I tell a lie, they did!

I'll give it a go but currently playing Dying Light and started The Medium the weekend and also have Deathloop to play 🤣

Would have to wait for Digital Foundry to know for sure but it will almost certainly run at a higher framerate and resolution on PS5, I'd say its worth waiting a day or two. Especially as Smyths seem to be getting stock now too.

PS4 - 1080p 30fps

PS4 Pro Performance - 1080p 60fps

PS4 Pro Quality - 1296p 30fps

PS5 - 1440p 60fps

Considering how much you're waving the torch around in the game I'd say wait for the PS5 version or if you're playing on a smaller screen 1080p60 would be alright. I normally don't mind 30fps in newer games but the higher frame rate is nice. The game is pretty sharp looking thanks to 1440p. Adaptive triggers are very basic for shooting but still feel satisfying.

Graphics wise the textures are pretty good. I was expecting them to be worse. I think the only real downside in terms of graphics is the character models being a bit stiff in facial animation and movement but the rest of the game looks pretty good considering it's not a full remake and it didn't sound like they put that much work into it. Looking forward to a second playthrough with the commentary.

Only downside is cutscenes are 30fps but a bit stuttery. I think the latest patch improved them but still could use a bit of tweaking.

Mine was DPD, usually pretty decent. I'd be surprised if it isn't there tomorrow morning

Anyone here playing FIFA 22 ? I find the graphics very poor and more like a cartoon. I know the below link is click bait but it describes exactly what I’m seeing.

A number of users on Reddit were saying they had no way to download the PS5 upgrade with their PS4 copy. They had gotten the PS4 version as people in both the US and Europe are having difficulty finding physical PS5 copies.

Not sure if it's fixed now as I couldn't find the post.

Is there any point to platinum or double platinum?

I rarely look at trophies etc except if its monetized like on xbox.

I suppose it could be monies worth from a game but some are so tedious like collectable or anything that removes immersion if done incorrectly (koruk seeds is the only one done well imo) , it would drain any fun out of a game.

I reckon I won't be ordering anything from smyths anytime soon again... No tracking on Fastway working, I don't know why they bother using this service it's possibly the worst Delivery Service, may not be the case in big cities however...

An Post would have had my package here yesterday

Altho not a full game, for me Astrobot is the best example. As well as shiny graphics and smooth gameplay, the extra immersion it gives from fully utilising the new controller pushes it to the next level
