Astro is truly a joy to play and a work of art in itself. The game is genuinely next gen and so much fun to play, it has that Nintendo charm and full of character which is a rarity outside of a Nintendo console. I really hope Sony explore Astro alot more this generation and eventually make a few full sized premium games on the franchise to take Astro to new heights that everyone with a PS5 can enjoy and no VR only titles with this.

The VR version of Astrobot was designed to show what the VR headset can do, just the same as this version is designed to show what the controller can do. The VR version of Astrobot just wouldn't work on a flat screen, it is honestly the pinnacle of platform gaming.

Astrobot VR is easily the best platform game since Mario 64. It's incredible. Anytime I've given someone a go of it it has blown their mind.

WRC9 is meant to use it well enough too, little clicks when changing gears, different vibrations for different surfaces, brake pedal resistance etc. Ahhh just make me all the more excited to use it in a few weeks

This is £24.99 at the moment. Has anyone played it? Worth picking up?

If anyone is into games with controlling armies etc. You should pick up sudden strike 4 complete edition on amazon for 19.99 loads of campaigns and tons of missions, control allies and axis armies during WW2 in famous campaigns and battles. Its a great game seeing as there are not too many out on these consoles other then pc. Playing it on ps5 and it's really cool now.

I've had the GPU song stuck in my head all weekend.

I've been going around saying "S-S-D" in a robot voice all weekend.

Speaking of the SSD: Every time I boot up Demons Souls or Spider-Man I'm completely blown away by how quick I'm playing the game. I think that's the thing so far that has been defining next Gen for me. When I press load game I'm playing within 3 seconds!

What sort of time do you need to dedicate to Demon's Souls? Is it hour long grinds to get past a single boss?

I would it say it depends on if you've played other souls games?
So far I've not had any real issues with bosses. I've killed most bosses so far on my first go. with the exception of 2 that took me 2 goes.

I'm not finished it but so far it feels like easiest of the souls games.

That being said it's a long game. I've played it loads since Thursday and I reckon I'm just past the halfway point

Bugsnax actually has a few seconds load time going from one area to another

Haven't had any more random shut downs. When playing a PS5 game I disconnect the external hard drive and make sure nothing is downloading in the background.

I'm stuck at Gates of Baletaria respawn point can't even get to the first boss, but I only played an hour / 1.5h. Suppose just need to get used to the soul game type, feeling quite a noobie

I noticed that too. It is not long by any stretch, it's still a little faster than the load times you'd expect on other consoles, but it's weird to have a couple of seconds loading for what are pretty small areas, with relatively simple and low detail assets too.

Things like this, and backwards compatible games loading slightly slower than XSX, suggests there must be some amount of work devs have to do to make the most of the PS5's architecture when loading from the SSD, because it's such a major difference from the almost magical instant load times of the likes of Astro Bot or Spiderman.

There is a shortcut about halfway through the level where you will also get an item that increases your health in soul form

Heard about shortcuts across different levels, but haven't spotted one yet, will do when have more time to play, thanks.

Just picked up my PS5. Now I just have to wait for work to end...

They usually involve opening doors or gates, pay attention to when levels start to wind back to starting areas. In the gates of Boleteria after you ascend the battlements, you will be able to take a set of stairs all the way down to where the level starts.

Pfff, wtf do you need a job for when you already have a PS5?

Exactly.

Wonder how many people will start saying that about framerates being 60 instead of 120, like they do about being 30 instead of 60.
As for loading times, I was watching comparison videos of load times between gens and thinking about all the complaints around Lego City Undercover and how those times don't seem so bad now

It's absolutely ridiculous that the Ubisoft free upgrade problem hasn't been sorted out yet. I created a Turkish account to get around it.
