I loved the original all those years ago but the second was awful. Anyone got any idea of when review embargo's are up for this?

Free for PS5 PS+ member so will be giving it a spin regardless.

Blog post, dev said this is the game they wished the 2nd one could have been. Said they had 9 months to these the 2nd and wasn't what they wanted.

100% PS5 noob here.

If I want to say buy FIFA 21 on adverts.ie, an I ok with buying the PS4 version? Or what's the craic?

Pretty sure it's a free upgrade from 4 to 5, but only until the release of Fifa 22. They have a dual entitlement offer, and the only way it doesn't work is if you went from physical PS4 copy to digital PS5. So Google is telling me anyway!

But not all games offer this, just FYI. Best to Google the game and "upgrade PS4 to PS5" before purchasing to ensure.

Even so. PS4 version without an upgrade is surely fine if there’s a significant price difference

I wouldn't know, I try not to buy games that charge full price and are littered with MT's. And I've no interest in soccer.

Thanks guys.

I saw it on the PS5 store for €30 so just went with that. I would have imagined it being more expensive.

My ps5 doesnt dim the screen in game. It dims after 5 minutes when im in the OS but not in game. Is there a setting Im missing?

You're not going to get proper HDR for the OPs budget.

The Samsung works on HDR 10+. It's not Dolby Vision but it's not bottom of the barrel either. Seems pretty decent to me for the price.

HDR10+ is practically a dead format, it has been swallowed by Dolby Vision. Even still you aren't going to get a lot of dynamic range from a TV priced in that bracket.

Is there much difference between the TU7000 and the TU8000 for the extra €50?

It's brighter and has an extra HDMI 2.0 port, that is definitely worth the extra few quid

I probably wouldn’t even use the extra HDMI port. All I’ll have plugged in will be my PS5.

Has anybody ever bought or used the Philips TVs Harvey’s have? They’ve one for 420 and another for 470 that comes with a ambient light. I can’t find them on rtings though.

Open a thread on the Richer Sounds forum on here and give them your budget, usage and ask for them to advise what would be best.

They are very good to deal with and will arrange delivery and offers a 6 year warranty.

The HDMI port is handy to have just in case, but the brightness is the real differentiator there

I doubt your wrecking anyone's head but when you have them on here there's no point not asking.

I've bought a few bits off them over the last few years and never had an issue. Always had prompt delivery and good communication from RS throughout the process.

I got a 43" Frame TV recently and it's perfect for what I wanted. Looks great mounted on the wall and the One Cable makes it really tidy looking.

I see avengers on ps now contains the Kate Bishop dlc. Anyone know if you can download the game and play just the dlc? Finished it on xb1 last year so don't fancy starting a new game again on ps5

I doubt it. Not until reaching a certain stage in the story at least I'd say. I'm guessing the DLC missions are accessed from the war table so you'd have to unlock not just the war table, but also all locations on the war tables where there are DLC missions.

Wasn't sure what to make of oddworld soulstorm from the trailers as they all had very busy scenes lots of explosions etc but have played about an hour and am thankfully enjoying it as odyssey and exodus were a huge part of my childhood.

The game retails at 50, but free with a ps+ sub I wonder how that works in terms off oddworld studios making money off it, seeing your game you've worked on for 6+ years go essentially free to play on Ps5 must be hard to see?

Sony obviously pay the developer for the downloads. Probably negotiated a discount upfront.

Yea I think you can. It is a separate operation from the campaign on the main screen and is selectable straight away. The power level for all the new story missions is the same as Kate's. I think the first mission is level 1 and the last is level 5. It is the same with Hawkeye AFAIK.

Still really like the feature where it groups the ps plus games in a group on the dashboard
Used to use the app to purchase and download them because it took too long doing it via the console

Looking forward to playing the oddworld game when I get a few minutes spare this evening

Downloaded Marvel's Avengers for the PS5 out of morbid curiosity ( It's on PS Now ). However, when I try and select the first mission of the campaign I get the 'Marvel' logo and then the game crashes. Happens every time.
Anyone else having this issue?

It's a shame they didn't add the PS5 version to PS Now. It really is nice.

DeathLoop delayed til 14th September. Pity as it's one of the games I was most looking forward to in the near future, but hard to be too surprised at any delay this year.
