Hi folks looking some info/recommendations.

Has any boxing game been released for this?

Also could you recommend a fps game? I liked Halo - call of duty type games and mainly play online?

For the latter and price, easily Titanfall 2. Short enough single player campaign, but it's rock solid and online is still very popular

Bought this off the play store last week, 6€ for ultimate edition. Just finished it over the weekend. Best shooter I've played in a while. Still looks great, little short but good fun. Haven't played online yet but might get an hour or two to check it out during the week.

Look at the PSplus games. I’m playing Elite Sniper 4 (ps plus freebie last month) and I love it. But the levels are massive if you sneak around. On the enemy base level last night and I went all Rambo instead of sneaking around. Great fun.

CastorTroy · 24-09-2019 8:37am

So State of Play at 9pm tonight.
Along with Last of Us 2 info (maybe with a subtitle?), any other guesses for content? I think the new rumoured Batman game

Yeah I'd say the new batman game and if it does, then the state of play will be worth it alone. The said it will be 20 minutes long and no next gen news.

ERG89 · 24-09-2019 9:28am

I'd love some news on Ghost of Tsushima as it's been quiet since E3 last year I think. Even if it's just a summer 2020 release window

From what I've heard it has either been switched to the PS5 or is now going to be a cross platform game.

CastorTroy · 24-09-2019 10:40am

Probably a trailer for Concrete Genie to remind people it's coming

Xenji · 24-09-2019 11:40am

We should hopefully get a release date for Nioh 2.

Would like to give new PES as a digital gift. Is this possible or do I just get a code to redeem at value of game?

Get codes to the value of the game, gifting isn't available on psn.

Press-start.com just got voucher codes back in, it will cost €43.99 for a €50 or €17.99 for a €20 voucher there.

Just used it to buy Destiny 2 Shadowkeep myself, you should get the codes very promptly.

So no Batman then.

Feb 21st for TLOU2. Apparently it's a 2 disc game

I'm imagining its the same as Red Dead 2? You've got a data disc and a play disc

Images of the TLOU editions

Journalists are currently getting a 3 hour hands on, their articles about this are embargoed until 4pm on Thursday.

Thar_Cian · 25-09-2019 12:46am

There's no sign of the Ellie edition in the EU blog post, but the collector's and special editions are up for pre-order on GameStop. I've ordered both for now since I'm not sure which version I want. The €55 price for the standard edition in Smyths is tempting me away from both, even though I'd always planned on indulging in the limited edition for Part II. I wish the steelbook editions of games would also include the regular box.

Anyone have good fixes for Pro fan noise? I had cleaned out mine with a hoover earlier this year, made a big difference but it's going crazy a lot lately to the point I can't hear what people are saying in cutscenes. The big games early next year aren't going to help this so was wondering if anyone had success with their method? It's just under 1 year old so maybe a call to Sony? I don't want to open it up as it's still under warranty.

Thanks.

I just use headphones to drown it out

Headphones not an ideal option for me at the moment. I started a Sony support ticket and it said 'loud fan noises are normal dur dur, €200 to get your playstation back'. Having worked in Sony Support before, I do not trust their repair centers.

I found this vid which seems a fairly unintrusive, will give it a go this weekend. He has another one where he goes further and replaces the thermal paste but this is a good first step. NBA 2K20 is making my fans go mental on the menus so I have an easy way to test it.

Thats a simple enough step to do, did it myself a while ago when mine overheated and needed to be cleaned. To get any deeper into it you need a torx screwdriver set.

EoinHef · 25-09-2019 4:30pm

Developers who dont cap framerates in the menus should be shot,f***in 2019 and that **** is still happening:(

Well I tried this and there wasn't very much dust to begin with but after testing, it seems to have brought the noise levels down 1 notch. As in, silent, low, medium, high and jet engine. What it was before the clean is now a step down. No more jet engine but still loud. Not sure whether to go messing with the thermal paste or not.

So I'm looking for titanfall on the ps4 but all I'm seeing is bundles and addons, is it possible just to get the game? Also what's ea access? I want to be able to play online.

No sign of GameStop getting it, Game have it in the UK and Amazon in Germany. Pricy though €500 plus the vat adjustment and shipping.

https://blog.us.playstation.com/2019/10/06/ps4-system-software-update-7-00-launches-this-week/

Firmware 7.00 out this week. Party chats increased from 8 to 16 participants. The remote play app will be available to download for all Android 5.0 devices and not locked to Sony Android devices anymore. To pair a DS4 by bluetooth, you will need Android 10.0. I assume that you'll still be able to connect your DS4 by USB with any other Android firmware.

EoinMcLovin · 07-10-2019 8:39pm

Facebook integration has been removed.

Basically, you'll no longer be able to upload shares (videos, screenshots, links to gameplay broadcasts) or Trophy information to Facebook -- functionality that's been in place since the PS4 launched. Removal of Facebook integration also means that linking your PlayStation Network account to your Facebook account isn't possible, so details like profile pictures imported from Facebook, and various friends list features are gone.

Playstation 5. Holidays 2020.

PaddyBomb · 08-10-2019 4:27pm

Remote Play app now out for all Android 5.0+.

Going to give it a bash when I'm home and see how it runs.

quinnd6 · 08-10-2019 4:52pm

Is there any way of getting your ps4 controller to work with it if you don't have Android 10? That requirement is so bloody ridiculous. The onscreen controller is awful for gaming. I think my wifi isn't good enough for it anyway. It kept dropping out for me when I was in another room.

quinnd6 · 08-10-2019 8:12pm

Tried the remote play again and it's unusable for me unless I'm in the same room as the PS4 but then I'd just use the PS4 itself wouldn't I.
I wasn't missing out by not having this all these years.
My WiFi isn't good enough.
It needs a reliable constant fast WiFi connection.
I don't have that.

Jordan 199 · 10-10-2019 4:59pm

It would have been a nice feature on the PS4 if you could have two external hard drives connected to the console at the same time and you could transfer games from one external drive to the other.

muzim · 24-11-2019 9:25am

Don't think this is worthy of its own thread so I'll post it here.

Looking to buy a second controller, is there much of a difference from the official one and something like this - amazon.co.uk/Controller-Powcan-Bluetooth-Playstation-Vibration/dp/B07TGD4C3N/ (can't post the link, sorry)?

Don't know anything about that controller but I bought a cheap controller before and it was useless.
Ended up buying the proper controller.

muzim · 27-11-2019 6:37pm

Do the official controllers every go on sale around this time of year?

They are 40euro in GameStop, Smyth's and Argos I think..

Anyone know if cex would take my ps sounding like a jet engine?.. I was going to get that PS4 pro offer but don't really want to be stuck with another ps so was going to trade into cex..

If you can't get it from Argos today, try reserving it and picking it up when you can. I think they honour the price at reservation time.

muzim · 29-11-2019 10:32am

Thanks guys, will reserve one now. Also, have an old controller but the covering on the analog sticks is in bits - would the below do the trick or is there something better out there?
