https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sony-Pla...uAAAOSwzEpf73TE Hi thread, so wtf is up with this price? It's definitely a con, just trying to work out what the deal is. My guess would be that the £500 just pays for the shipping. I'm obviously not going to bid, or send him a loving WhatsApp for more info.

Either way, I'm super excited for when the next batch of ps5s get released and I can buy one and, fleetingly, forget about the state of my awful, disease-ridden Brex'd country.

So I read online somewhere that Sony are going to be releasing 18m extra ps5s like... This week. However, I now can't remember where I read it, and can't find anything backing it up. Please, someone, give me hope? I just wanna be able to go online and buy a ps5 disc edition for £450 with no hassle.

The fact that stores aren't doing more to stop bots and scalpers grabbing all the orders as soon as they appear makes me cry like a tiny impotent baby. Like, I know that they have absolutely no incentive to sell to genuine customers above these SUBHUMAN SCUM, but god drat it I want one, and I hate those cunts. In the past few days in the UK, both Symths and Game have had orders available, but both have sold out in ~ 1 minute.

I'm watching a YouTube vid atm of the latest Tomb raider being played in ULTRA 4K 60FPS MEGA HD and, like, it looks amazing, but I think it really sucks how Tomb Raider has turned into an uncharted clone. It's probably just a case of 'things were better when I were a lad', but I used to love that sense of isolation and danger in the original ps1 Tomb raiders, just how unforgiving and alienating the environments were sometimes. In terms of more recent games who match that atmosphere, I can only think of maybe like shadow of the colossus (lol recent) or the souls games. Maybe it's the AAA quality of everything now which means that all environments have to look like Hollywood film sets, and you need an extensive voice acted cast, plus 'witty' naughty dog style dialogue at all times, but I feel like that sense of magic and wonder is missing from games now.

It's too easy just to slip into gameplay loops which deter you from taking on more involved or time consuming games I think. Like, after my wife and kid have gone to bed, I can either take on some meaty new single player campaign and have to get used to new mechanics, plots and challenges... Or I can play a game or two of Fifa, where I know exactly what I'm doing, and how long the game will last. This is even more the case now that I'm pretty much putting off playing anything new til I get a ps5 sometime in 2023.

I have bought a brand new disc edition PS5!!! From eBay  For £570 But I'm switching jobs next month, so am just coasting through my notice period, and then have some time off, so I figured I may as well just shell-out the extra and get the extra utility from it while I can. It arrives tomorrow and gentlemen I am SO loving PUMPED! I am just going to use it as a PS4-Pro-PRO for the foreseeable, but I don't care.

I thought I'd reinstall rdr2 on the the ps5 and it, predictably, looks and runs loving amazing. However, it seems like the buttons are kind of stiff, or have extra resistance, which means the riding sections, of which there are many, are genuinely painful unless you switch which finger / thumb is holding X. But more broadly the problem is with rdr 2 for making you hold X all the loving time, even in cinematic mode.

On the day I got my ps5, I turned it on from rest mode, and for some reason there was a green bar down the left hand side of the screen, and the display had duplicated itself, so there were two identical displays, one on top of the other. I turned it off and turned it on again, and it was fine, but it's still not what you want to see from your new toy.

Barreft posted:Random aside, I'm looking for a PS5, I know it's a fools errand but I got nowinstock running and if any nice goon can grab any I'll buy it from you. I got one on ebay for ~£100 more than the asking price, and tbh I'd just recommend doing that if you can, op. Waiting/hoping for a release that doesn't sell out in seconds is super-frustrating, and actually, your time does have value - so weeks and months spent checking restock twitter accounts and holding off on playing new titles til you have the console is something against which you can put a price. This is how I have justified it to myself anyway.

So I'm totally confused as to how I get the PS5 version of Control to launch? I added the ultimate edition to my library when it was free on PS+, but now I can literally see no option anywhere to download or launch the PS5 version. When I click the elipses on the title, I'm given no option. When I search for Control on the store, only the PS4 option comes up. I'm stumped, can anyone help?

Now that I have my ps5, I want to give my old ps4 away to a friend of mine, and ideally I'd also like him to be able to share my ps plus account with me, cos then he'd be able to play a bunch of cool games I've accumulated over the years. Am I able to do this legitimately, or does sony not allow it? I've got no other devices or users tied to my account. For content : recently finished SOMA for the first time, thought it was really excellent, and also think that having dangerous monsters is a good and scary thing.

Thanks for the advice, all! Really cool that my pal can have access to all these games. And I guess this applies to the ps5 ps+ collection as well? His most recent console was the 360, so he has a lot of catching up to do!

I'm a little disappointed by miles morales. A showcase for the graphical and performance potential of the ps5 it's obviously stunning, but I really think they could have added to the gameplay elements of the original (although it's good they got rid of the puzzle mini games). I think it's more my problem, as unlike most goons I got pretty burnt out on the spiderman gameplay loop after finishing the main campaign. They're still fantastic games, but I guess the two elements of which the game consists, which is swingin' and fightin', have just lost their charm.

Aidan_702 posted:I got literally around 70 seconds into the witness and immediately deleted it. Just knew I wasn't going to play the game. It was free tho Its the main drawback of the abundance of free games available now. It's so easy to just move on to the next thing, which means that games that might take a little while to get into but are really rewarding will inevitably get left by the wayside (I also deleted The Witness after a few minutes).

Having restarted rdr2 on the ps5 with the aim of axtually finishing it this time, I've burnt out super quickly. There is so much to love about the game in terms of visuals, grandeur, dialogue and, to a lesser extent, plot, I just find the missions so at odds with the tone of the rest of the game that playing them makes me feel actively unhappy. You wonder around the wilderness, pontificating on the nature of time and mortality and change, admiring the stunning scenery, soaking up the atmosphere and then you KILL A HUNDRED PEOPLE and then you continue to wander around the wilderness, maybe visiting a small town, tipping your hat to people, visit the local stores, take a bath then you KILL TWO HUNDRED PEOPLE and then you share tales, fears and hopes by the camp fire, go on a langorous fishing trip, before going taking a ride with your companions, making wise cracks and speculating what the futures going to look like and then you KILL A HUNDRED PEOPLE and so on. Every mission being a massacre is just repetitive, boring and completely jarring.

I'm loving the ps5. It feels like a genuinely premium product, and it's great to be able to experience the entire ps4 back catalogue in the best possible quality, and with virtually no loading times. It's super exciting to think about what this thing could do with games that are actually designed around the system.

Yeah, I ran up against the storage limitation pretty quickly. Doesn't help that gt sport is loving 110gb lol. Also, reinstalled the witcher and drat... I really thought they might have done a little more for the ps4 pro patch, but can't even get locked 60fps? After playing loads of other patched games it just feels really terrible.

Sorry, I'm sure this has been covered elsewhere, but on the external hard-drive issue - I understand you can keep your PS4 games on there, and still play them, but does keeping them on an external drive affect the load times and/or performance in anyway, and if so is this impacted by the difference between an SSD and an HHD? Having paid over the odds for my PS5, I'm reluctant to shell out another three figures for external storage, so if an HDD works fine then that'd be awesome.

I thought the ratchet and clank ps4 game was awesome, and it's the only 'kids' game that I've played for more than a couple of hours, let alone completed. The weapons are fun, and it's all just so pretty and chaotic that it was like a sugar rush.

God of war is technically amazing, and the gameplay is definitely adequate enough to keep on engaging you til the end, but on my second play through I really hate how they just made Atreus... A modern American teenager, with modern American teenage dialogue. All the other characters are thematically consistent with the universe, but he's just been plucked from a californian high school and it makes no sense.

Yeah, you could only get the ps5 upgrade of control if you originally added it to your library on a ps5. So I am also SOL. I'm currently playing my way through sniper elite 4, which was on ps plus a while back. Its kind of poo poo really, but I'm an absolute sucker for stealthy shooty stabby games, and it certainly scratches that itch.

I think the ps5 looks awesome, while also fully conceding that it's size and shape are radically impractical for most people's home entertainment set ups. It's titanic size is an outward projection of its terrifying power, and the millions of microscopic squares, triangles, circles and crosses on its underside and controller is the kind of refined touch that make this feel like the Bentley of consoles.
