PS5 + controller + headset showing as in progress.

Cheers fingers, I was definitely logged into my account when I placed the orders so I guess I'll just have wait and see what Smyths say.

Thx again for checking,

I've pre-ordered the PS5, wasn't logged in (don't even think I had an account). I've since pre-ordered Demon Souls and have an account. Only shows Demon Souls but as someone else mentioned you should have an email with your pre order details that you can use to check.

The design on the inside edge of the white panels and controller is really cool. Nice little touch

Had banked on cyberpunk, miles morales and AC Valhalla on launch.. The greed in me has be considering getting another launch game in the mean time!

Do I go for Godfall, modern warfare or Sackboy 🀔

Sure Valhalla alone might keep you busy for the 3 weeks + Miles Morales and we don't know how long Astro Bot is

I just cancelled my order of the digital edition of PS5 on Smyths. I'm not sure if they'll relist it but maybe worth keeping an eye out.

You should have asked on here if someone wanted to take it before cancellation. There's loads of boardsies looking.

Im very interested in Planet coaster on PS5.
Havent played any of it yet.

Hi, just checked my Smyths account. I ordered the PS5 and an additional dual controller on the release night and got emails confirming both. The following day I ordered the media remote and again got a confirmation email. On checking my account this evening I only see the media remote as being on preorder, no sign of the playstation or controller. Anyone else have this issue? I've emailed their help desk but am freaking out here as it's for my son. Can anyone confirm that the preorders for PS5 are showing on their accounts?

Thx

D.

You may have placed per-orders on the UK site and Irish site. Check both.

I see a lot of the online retailers are slashing their prices for Cyberpunk. It’s down to £38 on Shopto and similar on Base.

I wonder if people are cancelling preorders?!

Still very excited about it, this delay will be good to make me focus on Miles Morales though

I didn't think of that. Hopefully someone manages to grab it for Christmas.

I loved Spiderman but for some reason, I am not excited about this new one. Maybe I haven't read into it enough but the impression I got was that it was more like DLC than a full "new" game?

I think for the most part, it will be. But also, playing as Miles means he has several different powers and abilities, which gives rise to new gameplay mechanics and enemy types, new protagonist means new story threads... It'll definitely be mostly the same as the main game rather than a sequel, but I think there'll be enough in it to be more than just DLC.

It's been likened to Uncharted: Lost Legacy, which I didn't bother playing for ages for the same reason. When I finally did play Lost Legacy a few months ago though, it was pretty much the best game I played all year.

There's probably something to be said for a development team at the top of their game, working in an engine that they've been building up for years and that they're already comfortable with, having the freedom to revisit and make something that's really focussed and of top quality rather than throwing away most of the previous work to build the next thing from the ground up.

Whether Miles Morales turns out similarly awaits to be seen, but I wouldn't be surprised if all the time they've now had to really focus on the details and on the new missions, when they already had all the legwork done building the city, optimising the controls etc, could allow them to create something that's a step above the previous game.

Cancelled my cyberpunk preorder. Not sure what to play day one. Never played a souls game not sure if its my thing. Might stick to the ps collection. Disappointed with cyberpunk news

It is €45.47 on ShopTo. Pretty good price though

Can't see any cyberpunk for the ps5, is it just getting the ps4 game and backwards compatibility then I am presuming? (Sorry if its already been asked!) Would it be better to just wait for the ps5 version or would there be much of a difference really, might order it on ShopTo

johnny_ultimate

The PS4 version on the PS5 will be ‘enhanced’ in some as yet undisclosed way - one would presume superior frame rates, loading times, things like that. It’ll be better than playing on PS4.

There’ll then be a full next-gen version upgrade for free at some point in the future. That’ll presumably include bells and whistles like ray-tracing, superior assets etc etc

God what I'd give for Alien Isolation with ray tracing

Was alien isolation supposed to be a bit of a turkey of a game?

It's a great game, just too long imo.

billybonkers

Sow with Call of Duty. If I buy the PS4 version it will get upgraded to the PS5 version free?

The scariest locker simulator you will ever play.

It's a fantastic game, up in my top 5, and a steal for the current price of €10.99

No. There's a charge of $10 in the US so a similar charge will apply here, it just hasn't been announced yet in €.

For Cold War? The pre book bundle for PS4 only, is 69.99.

For the cross gen bundle, which gives you both versions, is 74.99

Yes for Cold War. If you purchase the game on PS4 and want to upgrade it, it will cost $10 in the US with a similar price to follow here.
