Good luck everyone waiting by their front door today! Happy UK release day!

Ghost of Tsushima all the way. Incredible game!

Very much looking forward to Hitman 3. Excited to see what they announce. They did get the Freedom Fighters IP back, but not Kane & Lynch. I loved FF on PS2 so that would be a great IP to do something new with.

It's sad that this article and its posting on n4g.com has led to some absolutely horrible comments from people. She got the job, and I wish her well. She does not need public judgment on whether she is capable, the only person who needs to do that is Santa Monica Studio. They did. She got the job.

That's a hell of a bundle.

@thefourfoldroot same as you. I've gone with physical releases with a number of games. I think down the line I will experience this kind of quick navigation as PS5 games go on sale but right now I cannot stomach full price digital.

I am playing the waiting game.

Well yeah, I cannot apply a shatterproof skin on my mobile phone, so my PS5 would look like air-bubbled poop.

My order just arrived from the game collection. Now I just have to wait until next Thursday to play it! I loved the PS3 original and cannot wait to play this again.

@Zanao This warning is regarding the Spider-Man Remaster only available for PS5. PS4 version available via BC has no issues.

Happy to just play Nioh on BC, I don't think a PS5 upgrade is going to make me any better at the game.

Thanks very much @God_of_Nowt for answering questions in the comments about this, it has really helped keep everyone informed about the ongoing situation and hopefully calmed some nerves.

I'll be sticking with PS5 games when the console arrives on the 19th and then hook up the external SSD I have with the PS4 games to transfer a couple of titles over I need to finish.

I generally avoid having games running in rest mode and will power down until I know a fix has been put through an update.

One of the best of the generation

Well done to Sony, Microsoft and all the devs working their butts off.

I just got Assassin's Creed, DualSense Controller, HD Camera and Pulse Headset delivered. Hopefully Demon's Souls and Miles Morales tomorrow. I also just managed to scour CeX website for the Dual Charging Station, Media Remote, Sackboy, and Planet Coaster, all with vouchers I already had in prep for PS5 launch. Happy days!!

Pulse headset and HD Camera coming tomorrow from Amazon. Ordered an extra Dual Sense Controller which states it has dispatched but nothing to say it's "on its way" like the others.

@Anti-Matter they've added accessibility options including a longer timer

Got this preordered for day one! Looking forward to playing this with my wife

@God_of_Nowt Thanks very much for the info! That's great to know! I'll let my wife know I was right about something for once haha

@God_of_Nowt wow thanks for confirming what I was thinking about it. So this is likely why we don't see a faster loading speed for PS4 games on PS5 compared to xbox series x? and why some devs can't carry over saves from PS4 to PS5 when upgrading?

Microsoft are working with a 'generic' SSD and architecture so that is why everything is carrying over or loading that bit faster for backwards compatibility.

I happily bought some launch games for day one because I cannot get them anywhere. For games in the future I will likely be going second hand, I don't agree with companies going beyond $60 and still having micro-transactions attached.

This just made me think of PS3 architecture for some reason. Maybe it's the complex nature of the custom SSD, and how it stores data and saves for fast access, that means this generation's games won't be compatible with third party internal or external SSDs for some time to come. Like the game isn't stored as one file (game) on the SSD and is in fact several. My thinking about this was based on Sony saying there could come a time when you can download separate parts of one game to play rather than the full game.

@manux59 It's available for PS4 but only available on PS+ for PS5 and it will only be added to PS+ on November 12th

Excellent! Just waiting on that camera adapter now.........

Interesting, but my jet engine might be headed for the bin after I get my hands on the PS5.

I think this is all definitely part of a firmware update that will be available possibly by the end of the year.

@Culjoseth The Souls series isn't a franchise for you then. I love these games and don't mind the repetitive difficulty building gameplay.

Cannot wait for this release!

My PS4 Pro fan is very loud playing any game, and is now taking to overheating and shutting down unexpectedly after an hour of grinding gameplay in Sekiro. Four times it has done it now. My console is definitely on its way out, so I am very glad to see that the PS5 is very quiet. I will be glad that the whole house doesn't know I've turned on my console to play now haha.

Sony have said that upgrading the SSD will be disabled out of the box and will be enable in a future update. Maybe transferring PS5 to external storage will be added in that same or separate update? Probably Sony are thinking right now there isn't enough to warrant the need for transferring games off the system or want a error free launch.

@get2sammyb are you able to report on the streaming personalisation for Twitch or YouTube?
Also the fact we're playing with 667GB on the SSD, how did you find playing PS4 titles off an external SSD and leaving the internal drive for PS5 titles?

So January will have Hitman 3 taking up a big chunk of the drive as an ongoing service game, so I'm hopeful the store will start listing game sizes for PS5 titles soon. I will have an external SSD for PS4 titles and was also hopeful I could transfer PS5 titles to this as well, but there seem to be confusing points on different websites about this.

I have Assassin's Creed, Demon's Souls, Overcooked, Spider-Man Remastered and Miles Morales, and Bugsnax coming on day one. I have a 2TB external SSD with my PS4 titles on there. I am worried that Hitman 3 will be my COD (ongoing service) in January and I will struggle to have even a few PS5 titles on the system without deleting and transferring to an external drive. Guess that will have to do for now.

The detail is incredible. So excited to play this game!

The only accessory I couldn't preorder anywhere...

One of the biggest disappointments for PS5 is that this won't have VR support. 7 was incredible on VR and I was hoping this would continue with Village. Maybe whenever PSVR2 comes out, I guess...

@PixelRunner my best guess was they were worried about distribution. They knew they could deliver on the 12th to certain areas but gave themselves a better window for the rest of the world. Better that than apologising for delays.

I might actually give this a shot again. I've enjoyed quick games of Fall Guys.

Miles morales with spider-man remastered, demon's souls and assassin's creed. Along with bugsnax and any ps plus collection I haven't played. Plus all the ps4 games I never finished. So the backlog continues...

But when is it out!? Ugh!

How quiet is the console playing "noisy fan" PS4 games such as God of War or Sekiro?
How much storage do we actually get?
Can you try some of the BC games that have been labelled as "possibly glitchy", for example AC Syndicate? And find what the warning could elude to?

I guess I am more disappointed if games exhibit significant errors in BC due to the fact I really want rid of my jet engine sounding PS4 Pro... but we don't know what errors it will produce until a hands on with the PS5

This really sucks if it's true. Was really hoping for a Resi Village VR experience like 7. Waiting for all the devs to confirm this though. No Man's Sky new trailer still mentions PSVR support alongside the free upgrade. Hitman 3 still lists VR enabled for the PS5 version. I'll wait and see what is confirmed.

@Veturius yeah they've stated that 10 games are completely unplayable on PS5. Other games are now emerging as having "possible glitches" while playing on the PS5. We won't know the whole picture of these glitches and how unplayable the games will be until they are tested. Ubisoft saying they don't work and then retract the statement is a bit suspect.

@Peach64 @Robinsad Here is the article regarding the "Sony Spokesperson" stating PSVR is only available via backwards compatibility for Hitman 3 and No Man's Sky: https://uploadvr.com/psvr-games-on-ps5/

However, Hitman 3 is listed for PS5 on the store and mentions being 'VR enabled'. There is no listing for No Man's Sky for PS5, but the PS4 listing still mentions VR. Will know more when the games come out on PS5.

The difference here is Xbox have a dedicated team to update games for backward compatibility while Sony are relying on the dev to update their own games. That's why some games have been receiving fresh updates. I'm one gamer who just bought the AC back catalogue to enjoy on PS5 game boost. I guess I will play Syndicate on PS4 before the rest on PS5. Ubisoft doesn't have to update the game for full compatibility, but it would be good if they did.

Also, the original article this stems from was discussing the close of Uplay and intro to ubisoft connect. I originally thought they were saying the game won't work with ubisoft connect.

Anyone still waiting on the email confirmation, do check your spam folder as I found mine in there.

I haven't received a confirmation email from EU site, but I just tried to input my serial number again and found it had already registered as used. So hopefully means the email should come through tonight or tomorrow for confirmation.

@Discol76 Yes, it's for the USB connection as it is only USB-A inputs for the PS5.

@lacerz Thanks for the info, might be different as I am ordering from the EU page.

@hungrymoth Thanks very much, I finally got to that screen - now just waiting on the confirmation email like @lacerz got. I requested from the EU link
