It was choice due to time limitations ha!

Any of the videos I've seen it looks great. Looking forward to seeing the loading times on it as they are a pain in Souls games!

Lighting already looks great from the videos so far and if it means it's a launch game instead of needing more time, than that's fine by me.

This new console has made me really wanna try AC again don't think I've played one since brotherhood

My reckoning of how ray tracing will work in most games (based on my PC experience) is you’ll boot it up, marvel at the impressive reflections and lighting, and then just turn it off to take advantage of the frame rate boost when it’s off instead :pac:

It looks good, undeniably, although it’s not something you’ll notice when in the flow of gameplay a lot of the time. A steady 60 FPS is still preferable over it. That said, the DLSS in Control (which allows ray-tracing while working magic to significantly decrease the resolution load on your GPU without a major hit to fidelity) is very impressive so I’m sure some talented developers will find a way to properly balance the limited power of the next gen consoles while still offering punchy visuals with high performance.

Haven't played since the first game haha.

I got bored with how repetitive it was even though I kinda liked the story.

Incredible comparison between demon's souls on ps3 and ps5.

I can't imagine it'd make too much of a difference for a game like Demons Souls. Probably not a huge amount of reflections etc compared to games set in modern or futuristic locations with lots of glass or reflective surfaces.

I preordered Watch Dogs which came out yesterday and haven't heard anything.


I'm hoping it's in the post since my local store isn't opened for click and collect.

Gamestop's support email got back to me and said that since my local branch isn't open for click and collect I have to either re-buy it and pick home delivery or wait until they open again to collect it.

Pretty annoying since they said they'd just send it in the post. Also doesn't make me hopeful for the ps5 launch.

That can't be their policy for the consoles too. There'll be absolute outrage if it is.

There's only 10 shops nationwide open for click and collect like.

Not sure why they can't open all their stores for click and collect just on the launch days for ps5 an Xbox. Spread times out over the day.

Many of the closed stores are in shopping centres and so might not be allowed to open for click and collect because of the shopping centre management.

Yeah , that's what looks like the most plausible reason. Tallaght store is open for click and collect but its one store away from a centre exit. The store nearest the exit is River Island which is closed so there would be plenty of space to have a queue going outside.

And did you pay for the games? If so, are they refunding you etc? Bit ridiculous if you've fully paid for games.

Wing126

Do we know if Argos will be getting the PS5 accessories on the 12th or are they releasing everything on the 19th? Might snag myself a charging dock from them.

Yeah I had it all paid off because I thought they'd send it in the post.

Don't think I'll have an issue getting a refund in store, just find it odd how completely disconnected their in store orders appear from online ones.

Got this email too. I just hope the dimensions given on Amazon are the packaging dimensions and not the actual console dimensions?

Wonder should I use Parcel Wizard or Address Pal? I have accounts with them but haven’t used either yet.

The dimensions given by Amazon are of the item itself, not the postage packaging.

Some more thoughts on the DualSense;

Got a text off Gamestop asking for my details saying they didn't have them. I stupidly emailed my details to Ps5@gamestop.com. Spelling mistakes and everything in their text. Anybody else get this text? Could be a scam and they might contact gamestop pretending to be me.

Sounds dodgy but wouldn't put it past GS to do something so stupid so who knows. I'd tweet them, ring them and email to confirm though. If scam, they need to investigate.

Standard version of demon souls is €79.99 and deluxe is €99.99

It’s €99.99 on the PS Store

I’m not buying on IE Store anymore. US PlayStation Store all the way.

Demon’s Souls is $69.99 for standard. You can also usually get $100 topup cards for around $94 online.

So Demon’s Souls works out at $69.99 * 0.94 = $65.79 which is currently €56.34. They can go and shove their €80

I’ll buy and download on my second account and play on my main Irish account.

I got a 25% off code in an email the other day which is valid to the 12th at midnight so I'm waiting until PS5 games release on the 12th before buying any games and hoping the code will work.

For the PS Store? If so, you can do it now. PS5 games are available for pre-order on the web store or via the PS App.

Yep for the PS store. Unfortunately the code can't be applied to pre-orders but if the games technically release the 12th (a week before the console releases) hopefully the code will work. Found it in my promotions tab in gmail.

Is this a PlayStation promotion. Any idea how to get it or is it just random users? Thanks

Received it on the 28th. I think I'm signed up to receive promotional emails so that may be why.

Like most Playstation promotions it's completely random. Even if you are signed up for emails, there is no guarantee you will get promo emails.
