Vikar Jerome posted:this news of saves not working for remasters makes me concerned that saves wont transfer over for BC either for some insane reason... could be why they've been weird about talking about it... I'm sure saves will work for BC titles if they've been added to your cloud storage.

Bust Rodd posted:I’m keeping all my tips from work from now until Launch in an envelope and I will use it all to buy games with. So far I have enough saved for Demon Souls and Miles Morales. Wish I had a 3rd launch title that was a different sort of game, but AstroBoy gave me serious Knack vibes so I’m gonna skip it. Good news! The Astrobot game is built-in to the console for free!

Necrothatcher posted:Here's Spider-Man Remastered gameplay: It looks great from what they're showing. I'm not super into the new Peter design, but now I'm thinking I might buy the Ultimate edition and play the Remaster before Miles Morales. I never played all of the DLC in the PS4 version.

Don't plan on wireless speakers working just because the PlayStation 5 has bluetooth. The PS4 has bluetooth and you can't use bluetooth audio devices.

BigHandsVince posted:Sony make a great set of wireless noise cancelling headphones, (XM4), but there's no dingle for them, they're Bluetooth. Does this mean they won't be compatible? Insane if true, they are so good. If they have an aux port you can plug them into the controller. Otherwise, no.

VideoGames posted:It must be like the change to the PS3>PS4 and there must be more going on within the games coding then if some saves are incompatible. The quote from the Black Desert developer is more that they don't know if the game will work at all on PlayStation 5. Nothing specifically about PS4 saves there.

Bust Rodd posted:The only thing stopping me from doing this is I’m scared that the PSN will be getting absolutely jabberwocked on launch day and I won’t be able to download my games. The average Christmas morning will have way more consoles hitting the PSN servers than a supply limited launch day will. Not to say there won't be blips in some areas but it likely won't be a disaster.

univbee posted:Do they specifically state it will actually be PS5/Series enhanced? I could see them just giving you the PS4 or XB1 version and calling it good, since it'll work on those consoles. It says the complete edition from 2014, so that makes me think it will be the backwards compatible version. I thought Watch_Dogs 1 was aggressively fine so if it's a next-gen update I'll... not play it, but I won't be unhappy it exists.

It's great that you can remove the sides without tools. Not only does it mean that there should be some fun aftermarket shells for the console, but also cleaning the inside will be easy.

I don't think the average player would "notice the extra frames", but I think they would notice a better experience or "game-feel" even if they wouldn't be able to articulate why. It's one of the reasons that I think Call of Duty remains popular. This is assuming it's a mostly stable 60, which it should be.

repiv posted:Framerates beyond 60fps are great on PC where you can whip the camera around extremely fast with the mouse but I think it won't be as obvious with a controller This has mostly been my experience on a 165hz display. I can very easily tell a difference between 60 and 120 in a game with a mouse (but not really 120 to 144 or 165), but it's more subtle with a controller.

abraxas posted:So I vaguely remember someone asking this before but my most burning PS5 question is when can I install Corn Love Forever or does it carry over when I transfer my PS4 stuff to my PS5 after arrival? Do PS4 themes work on the PS5? That's the only BC I care about... We don't know if themes carry forward but I highly doubt it.

haveblue posted:We already got one bit of news- the PS5 will be capable of recording party voice chat, so if someone's being an rear end in a top hat you can send a clip to Sony and get them disciplined. This was revealed in response to people noticing they added a "warning: you may be recorded" line to the party usage fine print. This is a good addition, but Sony should have communicated this ahead of time to avoid freaking people out. And it was a notification that pops up, not fine print, I believe. Xbox has a similar feature, I think.

I am non-ironically pumped that PlayStation 5 is implementing Xbox One's Snap feature.Escobarbarian posted:me: these cards suck I am always weary of these kinds of dynamic engagement systems, but the idea that games know your playstyle and can recommend activities you can complete in 10-minute chunks is a neat idea. How intelligent the recommendation and card generation systems are will determine how useful these cards end up being.

Escobarbarian posted:How do you know? Microsoft was adding games weekly when reviewers first got their units. There were around 1000 games available to play the first weekend reviewers had access and now everything is playable, from what I understand. There may be embargos still for some enhanced games. This is a normal thing. Prerelease units get major patches when reviewers are using them. For example, the PlayStation 4 got a massive, multi-gig patch that fixed a ton of errors and enabled PSN a week or less before launch. These modern systems are fluid up to and after launch.

Kingtheninja posted:I'm sorry if this comes up a lot, but is there a given reason from Sony why psp/ps3 store games (ps1 classics, psp vita games etc) aren't going to be available? They will just be gone from the website. You can still access them from the consoles for now. The reasons for this change are unclear, and probably involve some combination of old versions of PSN are preventing changes to PSN on current and future consoles and that some higher-ups in Sony's video game division aren't the biggest champions of legacy content.
