PS5 thread 2.0

If you have VR, Astro is absolutely a must, pure and utter joy.

Reminder to everyone to play Subnautica and push through the first 30 minutes of not knowing what's going on. Also suggest playing on the mode where you don't need food. Such a brilliant game that doesn't need you needing distractions like eating.

Guide on how to enable 60FPS in Subnautica here. It does disable trophies for the entire game though.

Watch Dogs Legion will be available for a free trial from 25th March to 29th March. As part of the promotional period you’ll be able to explore half of the city’s boroughs, progress the story “up to the Skye Larson mission”.

How does one get this? Was looking around last night on the store and could not see it?

Thanks

I just searched for it on the App and the PS4 and PS5 version is free (albeit noting its a trial).

Slight tangent, but I wonder will the blockage in the Suez cause issues with PS5 restocks.

Was watch dogs legion meant to be free this weekend? Can only find the pay version on the store

Download it from the app. It's only the PS4 version though.

Didn't that happen with the PS2?

I bought it a while back in anticipation of getting a PS5, haven't got one yet so using it with my PS4 and it works fine. I've been playing Hellblade with it and I think it's great.

Are you 100% set on the pulse 3d? If not throw an extra 50-60 and get the steelseries 7x/7p (Go with 7x if using it on multiple devices like PC/Xbox/Switch/Phone, 7p will work with all except the xbox)

If you haven't played games in a while, check out a couple of 'Greatest PS4 Games' lists and pick up some of the one that interest you cheaply in sales on the PS store - there's always sales and most games will be reduced at some point. Nearly all PS4 games are compatible with the PS5 and you're going to have much more of a library to choose from compared to the very meagre PS5 library that's there at the moment. I'd recommend getting PS Plus as well, there's free games every month that you can play as long as you've subscribed.

Actually, Sony are running a play at home promotion and are giving away about 10-12 free games until the end of April I think so get your hands on those as soon as you can.

If you pick up PlayStation Plus, you'll pick up 20 games in their PlayStation Plus Collection from all different genres and types, a lot of which of which are stone cold classics.

This.

Some good games in that collection. Good starting point for someone who doesn't already have a library of games

4K/60fps patch is out now for Ratchet and Clank.

johnny_ultimate · 31-03-2021 10:54am

Every 4k/60 update that isn't Bloodborne is like another stab to the heart.

There must be a good reason, I doubt it is complacency, it didn't even get a PS4 Pro patch and it only came out the year before.

Its coming, i'm sure of it. Digital Foundry have recently shown it to be possible.

I wouldn't say it's possible based solely on what DF shown. They received 1080p60 footage and used a 3090 to upscale it to 4k60. I'd say it is possible but how easy and how many contracts get in the way are the difficult parts.

And even then it still has the frame-pacing issues. At this point I think they are just going to remaster it for whenever they have a gap in their release schedule.
