PS5 thread 2.0

in no particular order

Switch, 3ds, Series X, ps3 (backlog). I am waiting patiently for my ps5 to fulfil its potential it's there for sure which Astro has shown but Sonys own practices ( less easy gameshare, overpriced digital, difficult access to foreign markets, no real gamepass competitor) just mean it gets less usage as those named above.

I cant see anything coming up on the console that will make me turn it on sadly, well nothing that I cant get cheaper ( sometimes free) on the others.

I have a Series X with game pass and can't remember when I last turned it on, my pal has my Switch nearly a year now, I think I'm just playing more on PS5...

And I love the Dual sense also, it's a super controller, huge step up from the last one...

People calling a company wanting full price for their products as anti consumer, while anti competition MS is throwing money at things and giving it away for free or next to nothing in order to compete... that's the way I see it. I believe the PS5 is the far better console, and eventually all this free-ness from MS will end, they can't keep it up.

But I've had this conversation in other threads so not gonna get into it again. Its still personal choice, and if you take away the cheapness MS offer, they don't have much else imo. Haptics may become the norm, but right now you can only get it on home consoles with the PS, which elevates them above MS imo.

Oh yeah it's gonna be brilliant and something I am absolutely keeping my ps5 for.

But sticking to a release date hopefully won't result in a cyberpunk style mess up though I highly doubt it will.

I think both have been very poor tbh and neither console has really put its best foot forward. Xbox only gets used for reasons stated above and gamepass output makes new games alot more accessible.

I can't think of a single game that's exclusive that's blown me away (astrobot is an exceptional demo) in the last while.

Deathloop was fine, ratchet and crank was fine. Demon's was brilliant as a remake and looked great but gameplay felt dated. I ain't played ghoatwire and sadly Gran turismo ain't my thing.

Cdkeys or Eneba, but they are usually out of stock.

New sub - thanks.

Is there any way you can create folders to keep your games in?

On my PS4, I had two folders, one for regular games and one for PSVR games.

It would be nice if I could do the same with the PS5.

Hmmm, I was planning on getting a PS5 at some stage. I'm hoping they bring out a smaller, simpler looking version. I've a ton of PS games I'd like to play since I've never had one.

Gotham Knights trailer out soon.

Really skeptical if it's 4 player co op instead of 2.

Ah here, i can barely get one person to play with me let alone 3 others.

Not too impressed with the new Gotham Knights footage.

Looks like it was somehow held back by last gen even though they're ditching PS4/XB1 late into development.

Having a strange problem lately. Pretty much every time I turn my PS5 on, everything looks fine and all the online features are available, but after a minute I get disconnected and it shows as a failed connection to the internet. It always resolves itself after about 5 minutes without me doing anything, but it’s a pain in the hole.

Anyone else encounter this? It doesn’t seem to affect any other device in the house, but the difference is that the PS5 is the only one I have connected to the 5GHZ channel to maximise bandwidth.

Haven’t tried that yet, the speeds suffers badly on that channel for some reason but there’s a lot of devices on it, to be fair. Might give that a go and see though.

Is it possible that the 5GHZ channel is suffering due to underuse? For example, if I kept one other device always on that channel to keep it active, could that make a difference do you think? I know very little about the ins and outs of how wireless internet works tbh.

Not far at all, about 3 metres but the router’s in the hallway and there’s a door and wall in the way.
