PS5 thread 2.0

have had issues with two diff dual sense now, one the r2 became loose and then the other was drifting really annoying, but the real annoyance is on my copy of ff remake.

Any time I put the console into sleep mode and restart I get an error message and the machine has to boot itself back up losing progress ( thank god for generous checkpoints) has anyone had this issue as it seems specific to the game itself.

Dualsense tip I learned today so apologies if its known by everyone but if you hold the Mic button on your Dualsense (rather than pressing it to mute your mic) it mutes all sound which is rather handy.

Not taking pre-orders for the PS5 or not taking pre-orders full stop?

Sorry, I should have been clearer.

Not taking pre-order for the psvr2.

Watched it last night, from what I can remember it was more or less:

• Generally very positive
• Surprised at how powerful it was
• Specs are comparable to high-end PC headsets, exceeding them in some cases
• OLED screen and HDR could make a big difference to the inherently dimmer image found in most headsets
• Eye tracking and foveated view could be huge, could free up overhead processing power and make games look better
• Could be very good for the PC VR market, particularly higher-end games like Alyx. They mention that this game set a new benchmark in immersive VR gaming but no one has followed up as the market has moved in the casual direction due to the success of the Quest
• The controllers are comparable to the quest 2, massive improvement on PSVR1. Haptics in the headset could be very good if used well and very annoying if not.
• Speculation on the software. Alyx would make sense for Valve and Sony, RE8 too. Sony continuing to support VR makes non-casual-VR games less risky for devs
• Backwards compatibility would be very tricky, not just because of the move controllers but the games that relied on the lightbar on the Dualshock 4 have no natural way of being replicated either. Something like RE7 which used neither would be a good fit. Expect lots of VR modes for standard games.
• John speculates that it shouldn't and won't cost more than $499, not sure how they manage this with all that tech in it.

There might be more but that's what I remember.

Yeah, top marks there for the summary! It sounds good in fairness. I'm hoping it's a massive hit, VR is still untapped and the potential is there, just the tech (size) holding it back.

Yeah it will need to be mirroring gamepass to be seen as anything other than a success and it's forever going to be compared to it.

I can't see it going to a day one model similar to gamepass but if for example demon's souls, miles morales or say ghosts of tsushima aren't on there for ps5 it's poor.

Not surprisingly on the thread in general gaming majority are advising to try pick a series X over ps5 if new to gaming as gamepass is the casual gamers dream and if ubisoft is added the same was EA was its gonna get better.

I really hope Sony do something as good and don't balls this up as the blueprint is there to what people want and expect now.

Don't think I'd be bothered with Sony's 'gamepass' if their own games won't be on the service day one, and that's a tough ask to be fair as Sony's games sell so well I just can't see them being included that way.

Well as we know kids will do as other kids do and some parents who know no different will pick up whatever they are asked to pick up. Surely nobody can say if purchasing a console for kid a Playstation makes more sense, outside of playing with what their peers have.

I was more talking about people making a conscious choice to pick something up and when question what is the best choice on the market its leaning in favour of Xbox.

They definitely won't be included, they have said multiple times that it doesn't make sense for them financially. I am actually fine with that as long as they commit to having every single first-party game over 2 years old on it day one, and commit to a timeframe for when future releases will appear.

Sony released the top 20 download lists for PS5, PS4, PSVR and Free to Play:

Miles Morales (PS5) is the highest 1st party game (3rd US and Canada, 4th in Europe), FIFA takes 1st AND 3rd spot in Europe, and nice to see Among US and Kena in the top 10 in Europe.

While now and plus are decent in comparison to GP I think the one advantage GP has that new games release on GP. Definitely easier on the wallet ha

This just goes further to prove that most people buying consoles don't care about exclusives and as long as it can play FIFA/Fortnite you're golden.

Wasn't there already a leak with potential tiers, seemed about right to me. Normal Plus as it is now, Plus with Now, and Plus with Now and games from PS3 and 2. They did day first party games won't be Day 1 already, as people pointed out Sony don't have the bank vault MS do.

I'm more interested in seeing what they do with current subs, Plus is active until May, Now until June with me.
