It’s early days but I think PS5 is the best console I’ve ever owned at launch. This baby is so smooth and slick.
Miles Morales got a lot better by the end and I was getting my emotional strings pulled.
Ghost of Tsushima at 60 FPS is just hnn, this game looks amazing.
Astro bot is life.

I think i might put it among the worst. This thing feels underbaked and rushed as hell. Besides the size of it i think most of my grievances will be fixed down the road so i'm not too worried.
And Demon's is so good which makes me not care about the other shit.

By rossonero Go To PostWhich one of you is Will_JD on Twitter? Or maybe he is from the OG gang amd ne er came here. Just read that he lost his PS5 to Amazon UK…. What the heck is Amazon doing with the deliveries over there? What a shitty company….It me.
It sucks.
I’ve been speaking to a friend who works in Amazon head office and he said there are thousands of these cases, though I’m not sure anything will ever be announced to the public.
By JesalR Go To PostFreewilly out here stealing all my Astro speedrun recordsahahah, although Willkiller seems to have the best records among my friends
By Freewheelin Go To Postahahah, although Willkiller seems to have the best records among my friendsRicky breaking his records triggered him
By Pennywise Go To PostRicky breaking his records triggered him
It's been an enjoyable back and forth, I hope they get broken again
By WJD Go To PostIt me.That's really crazy if true. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be, hopefully Amazon will help you and not just make a refund.

BestBuy randomly decided to sell their stock at 6AM EST (probably earlier) because I woke up at 623 to use the bathroom it was available but by the time I saw it, it was no longer available. Every time I managed to add something to my cart I couldn't even begin the checkout process
This shit is ridiculous. I'm betting people were refreshing from midnight because I checked all the normal sources and no one knew what time it was going on sale, just that it was going on sale today.

Uh so you have to update the save through PS4’s version main screen and then download from remastered main screen. Man...
By sy Go To Postdemons souls makes sekiro look like a ps2 game.It’s gonna be depressing when Elden Ring comes out and looks a generation behind.
but sekiro @ 60 is whew
Sony doesn't care about black memory chips.
Really solid thermal solution otherwise. Would love to hear that fan ramp up to its max rpm.

By MonadL Go To PostIt’s gonna be depressing when Elden Ring comes out and looks a generation behind.
By HonestVapes Go To PostAs long as it looks better than Dark Souls II, it’s all good. The bar is set lowI'd take anything at this point
while I'm sure it's purely coincidental, but I kinda get why they delayed revealing it alongside DeS, they're just bound to be compared to each other now and it's a bit unfair considering one of them started development with last gen hardware in mind
MAYBE the delay's got something to do with a graphical overhaul? But that doesn't sound like something they would do
the good news here is that they're using Sekiro's engine and Miyazaki is fully on board.
Elden Ring is pretty typical FromSoft announcement->radio silence strategy. Sekiro announced in 2017, radio silence until E3 trailer.Elden Ring announced 2019, no E3+Covid = Game Awards trailer instead of a trailer this past summer.
plus it's their first open world game.

yeah that's why a gameplay reveal at TGA is extremely likely if not guaranteed
I'd be surprised if their open world isn't something close to SoTC (with surprise boss attacks sprinkled around), I just don't see how they can pull off a Skyrim or TW3.

i'm not worried one bit with Elden Ring and yeah it hasn't been that long. they just don't put out updates too often which is fine with me.
By Yurtlicious Go To PostI'd be surprised if their open world isn't something close to SoTC (with surprise boss attacks sprinkled around), I just don't see how they can pull off a Skyrim or TW3.It's gonna be an extended / wider Soulsborne type of world, for sure. Somehow that's the least interesting aspect of them going 'open world' for me though. I want to know what they're doing with the storytelling, if there are actual quests, people you talk to and receive actionable info, etc.
I'm both intrigued and scared by the idea of them attempting something that's so far out of their comfort zone. Mostly I just don't want another DS/BB type of game, I'm so over that formula. I'm gonna play DeS to see where it all began, but after that ... give me new or give me death.
yeah this is standard fromsoft reveal pattern, but it being open world could draw out the timeline, not that confident in a tga reveal... although phil said he saw a lot of the game so i guess it must be progressing nicely
By Zabojnik Go To Postif there are actual quests, people you talk to and receive actionable info, etc. .hope not

there's no way they're adding your typical quest log stuff, the way they've been doing it is far more interesting. It's part of the charm
I'd say Sekiro was slightly outside their comfort zone lol and that still worked. Even their anime VR game was not that bad really
Got my PS5 Digital early this morning. I wish I could put a paper bag over it.
Astrobot is GOTG though so that's good.

Sounds like there is scope to raise the fan speed, if people can live with it
By Yurtlicious Go To Postit'll be VERY close to Souls in particular though, according to them.Eh, it is and it isn't anymore, at least for me. I'll never forget my time with Bloodborne, playing it alongside The Paleblood Hunt was an incredible experience and it would've been much less impactful without the latter (over)explaining the lore.

Surely there is a way to balance the two extremes, which is what I'm hoping Elden Ring is about.
By diehard Go To Post*snip*From what I gathered, the high memory temps may present a long-term issue but it can be at least partially addressed in multiple, relatively simple ways:
- increased fan speed (have tons of headroom here)
- panels removed or having slats cut in them so the case is less of a hotbox
- better thermal compound coverage from memory modules to the steel panel (yuck) that covers them
For people that don't want to deal with possible RMAs or increasing fan speed and aren't in a rush to get the console, it may be a good idea to wait for a revision or two to see if any of this is addressed. It may or may not be an issue, but having memory that is running 93-98 C typically leads to reliability issues.

I'll never forget my time with Bloodborne, playing it alongside The Paleblood Hunt was an incredible experience and it would've been much less impactful without the latter (over)explaining the lore.no no, I mean, running into random NPCs around the world that you may or may not be able to help after conversing with them is way better than simply picking up named quests
Surely there is a way to balance the two extremes, which is what I'm hoping Elden Ring is about.
as far as lore goes, I don't mind either approach. Like, Sekiro has cutscenes, a well-explained narrative, and a voiced protagonist.
By Yurtlicious Go To Postweren't they saying they can just 'patch' fan speed?Yes, they can. And have stated intentions to do so on a per-game basis with firmware updates in the future. Sorry, I should have been more clear. How much they would need to increase the fan speed to get those memory thermals to a more long-term sustainable level and how much louder it would make the system are both unknown, however.
or is this like saying go download some RAMs
By rerixo Go To Postyeah this is standard fromsoft reveal pattern, but it being open world could draw out the timeline, not that confident in a tga reveal… although phil said he saw a lot of the game so i guess it must be progressing nicelyLOL
About 60% of the way through platinuming Miles? I'll check out the remastered update this tgiving weekend probably
I feel like I selected SM:MM Ultimate to d/l. Should I be getting an additional icon for SM remastered or?

Having per game fan profiles sounds like a nightmare, not only because of the number of PS4 games, performance modes, ongoing updates, DLC, etc... but also because of the widespread issues you could create if a profile wasn’t set correctly.
I don’t understand why you would do it over a curve using the sensor readings
By HonestVapes Go To Post10,000 hours in R&D and they didn’t even heatsink the the GDDR6. Lmao
But sy
