Exactly you need 5.1.2 surround system or better to get real Atmos.
Depending on the size of your room a higher end sound bar will more than do the job. I have a Sonos Arc and Atmos works very well for me, but I have it in a relatively small room. I also have Sonos SLs for back left / right.
I had a full 5.1 system before but I switched to the Arc and it is much better.
Without diverting the thread - a proper 5.1 system will always be better than any soundbar IMO.
Of course it depends on your budget, room size etc not to mention a soundbar can be a lot tidier and cheaper but sound quality wise I've never heard a soundbar (even high end ones) that have gotten close to my system for quality.
I have the Sonos Arc and similarly two SLs in th corner of the room and it's one of the best sound systems going, far and above any previous 5.1 setups. Atmos on it is second to none. Sonos is just the outlier in that their soundbar and rear speakers do the job.
You can add the Sonos Sub too if you want more bass but I can't as it'd just be far too loud. I have to massively reduce the bass on the Arc already.
Ah yeah multi speaker set ups will always be better than a single device yours sounds like a good set up. I've seen some very basic devices with the Atmos label on them but they are not "real" atmos. Maybe I'm just a snob with it.
Basically I'm happy the ps5 has this update and it makes a real difference for me.
Ah I actually have the Sub-Mini, I forgot about it. Have you tried that? I had the same issue as the Sub itself was far too loud (borrowed a friend to test it out) but the mini really did the trick.
I don't think it's snobby at all and I've seen it too. It's a bit like the 'HD Ready' labels back in the day when 1080p became more popularised and manufacturers slapped the 'HD Ready' label on new TVs (in my opinion) disingenuously when they weren't true HD.
Well they're 720p rather than 1080, but certainly a step up from the 540 which was the standard at the time. But yeah, total swizz
really want a horse racing game for ps5 . clearly never going to happen .
you can have a game on farming fecking goats around a field , but not one of the most followed sports in the world.
What's wrong to RDR2?
sorry, i dont follow?
You can ride horses 🤦♂️
I haven't been playing close attention but I was under the impression the new update was useful for those using normal 5.1 and make it sound like Atmost/height speakers?
Or is this just more improvements for those using stereo?
I bought a "home theater in a box" Pioneer 5.1 system for around €500 a few years ago, surround sound doesn't have to break the bank. Some of those 2.1 soundbars are pricey enough.
The update is just to support Atmos. So if you have an Atmos system, you can now get Atmos audio.
I don't think there is any change for anyone who doesn't have an Atmos sound setup.
So this is turning out interestingly. The process of returning the DualSense to Sony via the website was pretty smooth. Getting the a controller sent back went swimmingly as well. It's all fallen apart with the delivery. I got a notification on Friday that it would be delivered on Monday. That came and went. This morning it said it would be delivered. I went out for a coffee, came back and checked the link again. It said it had been delivered at 12:41 and was by the porch. I checked, double checked and triple checked. I then went and had a look at the security camera and there was no sign of anyone having approached the house at all. My best guess is it's been delivered to another house on the estate somewhere.
I rang UPS and well, I was quite possibly directed to a call centre in Asia somewhere and it wasn't completely clear what was said. I do know however that I have to keep my 'line open' for a potential call.
horse racing is what im after. racing as a sport.
There's horse racing in it. Competing against others, in a sport setting
ok thanks.
ive had that game , not what im after at all.
Anyone else get a slight panic when they turn on the PS5 and there's no beep 😆
Beep stays! 😆
Don't you DARE turn on that PlayStation!!!!
.......................BEEP
With the recent talk about Cyberpunk I thought I might finally buy it so was looking on Amazon and Smyths. I didn't realise they never actually released a physical current gen version. Can get the PS4 version with a free upgrade but no physical PS5 release.
£15.95 on Amazon, if anyone's interested. Also on sale on the PS store.
Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty out now, can't wait to get stuck in
Started a new playthrough of the main game since the 2.0 update.
It's amazing now.
Looking forward to starting Phantom Liberty.
I'm just up to the point I was in the initial attempt, and I still want to keep playing so that's a good sign. I think I need to make a decision as to what route I want V to go, ow that i know its one of those games you can't max all skills/perks in (yes, I want to be a god). Thinking a samurai handgun hacker, but its hard to decide where to put points...
Well the Gran Turismo movie worked on my son.
He loved it and wants steering wheel, pedals and the game for Christmas!
Its a bit cheesy at times but we enjoyed it overall.
Booted up today and started a new game considering I only ever played about an hour of it previously since the day1 purchase 😂 Does buying phantom liberty now have any bearing on the game or should I wait till I complete it first

Looking at something around this price plus a disk copy of the game. Anyone have this wheel and pedals?
I have it and really happy with it. You need to think about what you are going to attach it to, I would suggest getting a steering wheel stand for it also. I have one like this that does the job.
