Does the button on the center of the controller (little orange one below the PS button) just mute the sound from the controller mic?

Yes. Light on == mute.

That is such a good feature, one that I'd never even considered before, but one that now seems so loving obvious.

Maybe it depends what you're using it for, but I just played Hollow Knight for three and half hours and it's still at three bars.

Speaking of Hollow Knight, I gave it a shot last night for the first time on console. I played the poo poo out of it on PC, and it's one of my favorite games.

Holy poo poo - the input lag on PS4 / PS5 is really bad. It isn't just me, either - the devs have commented on it and said it's because of the way Unity handles V-Sync, and there isn't anything they can do about it aside from turning it off, which would cause tearing, of course. It's an issue that affects all console versions of it. I played it on PC afterwards to make sure I wasn't misremembering, and I'm not. It felt buttery smooth on PC. If anyone is interested in it, I would recommend the PC version with v-sync turned off in-game. You can still use v-sync through your graphics card's settings. I can't imagine trying to do some of the more challenging parts of that game with that much input lag, holy moley.

According to the devs, the game was designed around the input lag imposed by V-sync, which should be the same across all platforms aside from PC with V-sync off, so it shouldn't actually make the game harder than intended. I hadn't really noticed it to be honest. But then, I'm not to the insanely hard precise parts of the game yet. I also played on Steam but I can't say for sure if I had V-sync on or not.

Either way, I'm loving the way it looks with PS5's auto-HDR mode.

Farewell, good Hunter. May you find your worth in the waking world.

Quite the quandary. Cold War with ray tracing quality mode on is probably one of the most visually striking fps games I’ve played. I mean the diffuse lighting and raytracing and draw distances are just mind blowing.

But putting it in 120hz performance mode? Oh my god. So so smooth. The intensity is ratcheted up a ton.

Impossible to decide what setting is best lol. I might go quality for campaign and performance for multiplayer.

The haptic trigger effects are a total trip. Really ups the immersion when you’re pulling the trigger on your silenced pistol and feel the trigger pull weight. Will destiny 2 have this support?

If it doesn't bother you, then that's great, because it really is a wonderful game. But after 80 hours on PC, with all the Pantheons cleared, switching to console just felt terrible.

It does look great on an OLED though!

Not a huge fan of miles' stealth segments. I wish they just focused on combat. So much of a waste of time doing this lame arkham poo poo to whittle down guys and half the time they call for reinforcements anyway.
I was getting real angry tonight cause i was 99% through a stealth part but then miles didnt stick to the wall i webbed over to he just fell right in front of the last 2 guys who triggered a wave of new guys to spawn and im like wtf did i spend 15 mins clearing this poo poo for? Batman never did this to me.

Take my $, note when I paid, and ship me one when it’s available once everyone ahead of me got one.

Its because they would majorly piss off retailers if they sold them all directly like that. The retailers deffo should do a first come first serve list or lottery though.

I put the disc for MK11 in the drive and it started installing, then I put in the redeem code for Aftermath, KP1 and KP2, and all 33 downloads were started simultaneously, and it nearly completely locked up the disc install.

It's now ticking by at like .001 GB/s


So, uh, maybe let the disc install first before you redeem the add-ons.

The saves actually can transfer, you just have to manually upload your save on PS4 to the cloud (in the in-game menu, not the general PS menu), and then manually load that save from the cloud in the PS5 in-game menu.

It's way more of a hassle than it needs to be, and my trophy lists only partially merged so I can't get the plat now, but the saves can transfer.

Yeah this is what I tried and it just keeps telling me it failed the download in the game menu. Ubisoft support sent me "Since you are on a new console we are not able to provide additional console-related troubleshooting as Playstation Support has not released that information yet." Meanwhile their support forum has a bunch of folks with the same issue.

But Valhalla is pretty fun so far. I made my viking as hairy as possible and he's just axing his way through a bunch of folks.

I really wonder how these things work. I've been refreshing like every retailer for four days and missed out on every drop. This time I got the telegram notification from nowinstock.net as I was going to bed and was like "gently caress it I guess I'll check" and got one. I can't imagine I was quicker than you. Sorry you didn't get one though, I hope you luck out soon.

That's was my least favorite part of the original too once they were awoken it was just a boring wave fight. At least the stealth game felt like a puzzle.
