Nice to know, but I'll keep that space for game saves only.

My 4TB WD Black SSD (PS5 games) and 8TB WD Black HDD (PS4 games) will be enough for now until the 8TB SSD's go down in price. I've prepared for storage issues in advance and also have an additional 5TB HDD to store my PS5 games I've Platinumed.

Finally!

Now, just give me gyro aiming support, and these games will be perfect for PS5.

Remedy recently added it to Alan Wake 2 and it's glorious! C'mon Capcom

Congrats to Bloober Team for a fantastic remake of a classic game!

I played nonstop 5 days straight (40 hours) until the Platinum trophy 🏆 popped!

Hopefully, Silent Hill 1, 3, & 4 The Room remakes next, please. In that order.

@DETfaninATL I've been putting off AW2 for almost a year now. I was going to wait and play in on PS5 Pro, but with the second DLC releasing this month, I figured I'd start playing it now.

Still Wakes The Deep will probably be next since it's a short game and looks like a 7 hour Platinum.

But I also just remembered i have Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse in the backlog as well. Decisions decisions.

@rusty82 I decided to go with Alan Wake 2 instead. But I'll get to Still wakes the Deep & Alone in the Dark eventually.

Thanks for the feedback.

After getting the Platinum for Silent Hill 2 yesterday, Absolutely amazing remake, great job Bloober Team! I'm debating on what to start playing next to keep spooky season going with horror games.

It's a choice between Alone in the Dark or Still wakes the Deep.

Other then that I'm slowly progressing through Dying Light (Steam Deck OLED) co-op with a friend when we both have the time to do so.

Have a great weekend, and happy gaming, everyone!

Another game that already looks amazing on base PS5. Besides, I already have the Platinum. So I don't plan on playing it again until the next God of War is about to release. I'm sure PS6 will be out by then.

Doki Doki and Dead Space are great! I own both of them on disc. I haven't been a fan of wrestling in over 20 years at this point. So WWE 2K doesn't interest me.

My Switch copy is still sitting on the shelf. I heard it doesn't look or run very well on that platform, though.

Since the PS5 version comes with all of the DLC, I'll probably buy it again eventually.

The Edge made the standard controller obsolete to me, at least.

If I can't get the Edge, I'll pass on the standard even if it's the OG colorway.

I want the Dualsense Edge & the PS Portal!

It may sound strange, but I kinda like the time limit these subscriptions give us to finish games. I've been putting off Gotham Knights for so long, and now that I have a month to beat it, I have to lock in and get it done. Good timing, too, since I recently played through all 4 Arkham games on my Steam Deck OLED.

For those who haven't played them yet, i suggest Dragon Quest 11 & The Evil Within. I own those on disc, though, so no loss for me.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I preferred the PSP & PS Vita over the DS & 3DS.
So, of course, I'd love it if Sony gave handheld gaming another chance.

Nintendo needs more competition in that space anyway.

I need an 8TB SSD for my PS5, but not at that price.

My 4TB WD Black SSD has been full for a while, but I prepared for it and bought a 5TB HDD to store the PS5 games I've platinumed. I hate having to delete and reinstall games. It will have to do for the next few years until this has a significant price drop.

After getting the Platinum in Stellar Blade, I haven't been playing my PS5 as much besides picking up Persona 3 Reload on sale a few weeks ago (65 hours in) but with my backlog and PS Plus Premium I always have games to play so it's not that big of a deal.

I do hope next year makes up for the lack of exclusives we've had so far this year.

Steam Deck OLED, on the other hand, I play daily.

@dschons If it makes you happy, that's all that matters. I'm really looking forward to Astrobot in September!

@HonestHick Thank you, but unfortunately the only special edition Dualsense controller I have is the God of War Ragnarok. All the other controllers are just standard White (2), black, purple, red, pink, & Dualsense Edge.

Lucky you. I really wanted that gray PS4 controller.

I did pick up the 20th anniversary Xbox, Gears 5, and Starfield controllers. Plus the Starfield headset.

@Czar_Khastik To be honest, I never thought I'd spend $200 on a controller. I don't play competitive games online. The same as you, I mostly play single-player games. It all started when I saw an Xbox Series Elite 2 controller on sale for $130, so I decided to buy it and fell in love with the premium feel and back buttons. Same with the Dualsense Edge.

Now it sucks going back to standard Xbox, Playstation, Switch controllers without back buttons.

The battery life isn't great on the Dualsense Edge, But neither is the standard Dualsense, so it's not too big of a deal.

I'm sure the Dualsense Edge has many other features that I don't use haha, But it works great for the things I do use it for.

Plus my original white Dualsense controllers are starting to drift after almost 4 years. So it's nice that you can replace the thumbstick module on the Edge if that problem ever occurs...

@dschons, haha. I'm glad you could pre-order one. Now, will you actually use it? If not, then what controller do you prefer to use with PS5?

It's a nice looking controller but if I bought one it would just sit on the shelf next to my God of War and 6 other Dualsense controllers I don't use because the Dualsense Edge is my go to for PS5.

If it were a Dualsense Edge, I'd buy one no questions asked, but since it's a standard controller. I'll have to pass...

@Bramble The Switch version for portable play and the PS5 version for better performance/resolution and trophy support. Also, for the collection as well.

I missed out when this (Lollipop Chainsaw) originally released, but not this time!

Already have my standard editions of Lollipop Chainsaw for PS5 & Switch pre-ordered from Limited Run.

I'll pre-order Shadows of the Damned next. And pick up Dead Rising after a price drop.

@RagnarLothbrok Nope. Just the standard editions. I should have asked the same thing. I'd imagine the collector's edition. It would take a bit longer to be ready for shipment...

@RagnarLothbrok That's strange. I received my copies of Persona 3 & 4 for Switch from Limited Run few months ago...

Mabey you ordered some other games along with them that isn't ready to be shipped yet?

That Collector's Edition is tempting. I'll most likely go with standard copies for PS5 & Switch since I also need to order Tomba & Beyond Good and Evil.

@Khwarezm89 No problem. Days Gone was so much fun. Even more so with gyro aiming!
I hope you enjoy it!

@Khwarezm89 For Playstation, there aren't very many, unfortunately, but a few do come to mind.

Days Gone
Helldivers 2
Horizon Forbidden West
Resident Evil 4 Remake (Doesn't let you adjust sensitivity, though, but better than no gyro)
The Last of Us Part 1 & 2

Gyro aiming should be a standard at this point.

If devs don't want to include it as optional in their games. Then, Sony should allow us to activate it at a system level on a per game basis.

I use gyro all the time with a Dualsense & Dualshock 4 while using my Steam Deck OLED docked, and it's amazing! I also use the touch pad as a mouse.

Why is it that Valve allows users to take better advantage of controller features than Sony? With their own systems (PS4 & PS5)

Since im single with no children, my gaming habits stay the same all year!

Now that I'm getting older, I prefer to stay at home. So I have plenty of time to play what I want when I want.

I like the anime! Give me a physical release for PS4 and Switch! If not I'll go with Steam for my Steam Deck OLED 😁

@arsmolinarc I've heard that the Series S has been holding back this Gen for years now.

Last year, Baldur's Gate was delayed because the co-op didn't run well on Series S. Microsoft gave in and dropped the co-op altogether if I remember correctly.

I'm a Series X & PS5 owner. Sometimes, I think Series S is holding back Series X from reaching it's full potential, especially when most 3rd party games run better on PS5 over Series X.

On the other hand, Series S is a great entry-level system perfect for families and kids or the less hard-core gamers. I know a few people who bought a Series S for their children, and they love it, especially with the value of game pass.

The Series S clearly isn't for me, but the value is there for people who want to enjoy this generation of games for around half the price of the more powerful systems.

Gyro aiming is an absolute game changer! I won't be playing Valorant, so this shouldn't bother me, but I'm tired of Xbox controllers holding back gyro from becoming mainstream. Microsoft needs an updated controller asap.

Sometimes, I play Xbox games on my Steam Deck oled thru remote play or streaming just so I can use gyro if I want to. Same with some Playstation games. Gyro support is another reason why I choose Switch versions of games over Playstation/Xbox even with lower resolutions, frame rate, etc.

At this point, Remedy should wait until all of the AW2 DLC has been released and package the game in a Complete Edition with all of the content on disc.

I'm all for physical media, so when it was announced that AW2 would be digital only it kinda killed my hype for it, but I gave in and downloaded the game a week after release to show support.

Time to pre-order physical copies for PS5 & Series X

That and it gives me an excuse to play them again. Good timing, too. Since Cat Quest 3 will be released soon.

One of the weaker months for me. That's fine, though. I have too much to play anyway.
Even though I have Cat Quest 1+2 for Switch, I'll download the PS4 versions and snatch up those easy Platinum trophies.

Great game! More content is always welcome. Photo mode, more outfits.

After 3 playthroughs and the platinum trophy, I've had my fill for now.

I'd love for the next game to be a prequel, show some back story of Eve and Tacky's relationship.

@Gravytrain Nice! I've heard nothing but good things about the Series. I'll probably download it to my Steam Deck OLED and play the collection that way instead.

I still haven't played my copy yet for Switch. Guess I'll wait and play the "Complete" edition for PS5 instead. Danganronpa Collection is on the backlog also...

Mostly Stellar Blade this weekend.

Batman Arkham Origins on Steam Deck OLED.

Nothing on XSX or Switch.

Have a great weekend, and happy gaming, everyone!

Yes, please! I've been waiting for Capcom to release physical versions of RE 2, 3, & 7 for PS5. Give me a physical release for Series X, too, and I'll double dip on all 3!

Dead Space Remake was one of the best games I played last year!

I did my part and bought 3 copies of DSR (PS5, XSX, & Steam Deck OLED) in hopes that DS2 Remake will be made one day.

I am really looking forward to playing this again with 4K, HDR, 60fps, and trophy support on PS5. I'll wait for a sale, though. I'm assuming there will be a physical release? If not, I'll pass.

Please bring this amazing game to PS5! I enjoyed playing it on my Switch OLED, but the visuals and performance suffered a bit. I'd love to play this again with 4K 60fps in HDR with trophy support on PS5!

This game was so disappointing at launch that I haven't played it much since. I'll wait and see if a Complete Edition comes out on disc and give it another go then. Or download a cheap digital copy for Steam Deck one of these days.

40fps is always a great option! I loved it for Spider-Man 1 & 2. This game looks really fast-paced though, so I'd probably go with 60fps. An uncapped frame rate would also be a nice option for the PS5 Pro.

No need to watch any more videos. I'm already sold on the game. But with so much to play, I'll wait for a sale and pick up a copy around summer or fall.
I still need to start Final Fantasy 16. Too many games and not enough time.

No need for me to watch the video. I'll be playing this day 1 on my Series X thru Game Pass and pick up a physical copy for PS5 after a price drop.

I payed $10 for the upgrade last night and played a few hours of it this morning.
It looks like the PS4 version to me, which is already one of the best-looking games I've played to date, so that's fine.

Performance mode with the unlocked frame rate is what I prefer. But Fidelity mode at 40fps is nice, too.

I transferred my PS4 save so I have the Platinum. But I'll play through it again to enjoy the Dualsense features, gyro controls, and improved loading times.

It will be nice to see if the game can reach and maintain a steady 120fps in Performance and 60fps in Fidelity when/if a PS5 Pro releases. I'll definitely pick up a physical copy once the price drop to $30 or less.

Nice! I'll transfer my PS4 save over to the PS5 version for the easy Platinum. I'm currently playing through TLOU Part 1 on my Steam Deck to prepare for this. I'll play No Return, but I think it was a missed opportunity that online co-op isn't available for that mode...

I was so close to buying this a few times when it was on sale for $20. Glad I waited. Now I'll be able to play co-op with a buddy and pick up a used copy for dirt cheap later on for the collection.
