Lately, I've been buying digital versions of games I own physically if the price is low enough. So far, I bought Mortal Kombat XL & Remothered: Broken Porcelain for $2.99 each.

I have most of these games already, so it's not a big deal they're leaving PS Plus extra. With Diablo 4 taking up most of my gaming time, I wasn't able to get the Platinum for the PS4 version of Stray in time. Oh well, I guess I'll go back to the PS5 version.

I already have Alan Wake on disc, but a digital copy is welcome. Mabey, I'll give COD a try if it has zombies and gyro aiming support. Does anyone know if it has both of those? I haven't played a COD game in years...

Give me any reason to go back to this masterpiece. I double dipped and bought a copy for Series X a few weeks ago just to play it again. After getting all the achievements, I still wanted more, lol. With gyro support and the Dualsense Edge, PS5 version is my preferred way to play. I'm debating on picking up a PSVR2 just to play this and RE Village in VR.

June 2nd is my birthday, so the timing couldn't be better. My PS Plus Premium subscription isn't due until December, so I'll probably wait until Black Friday to renew that. I'd like to pick up another Dualsense Edge. A discount on that would be nice. Or a 4TB SSD. If not, then I guess I'll wait and see what games go on sale.

I started playing Lake this morning and it's been kicking me off every 15 mins. Luckily you can pause the game and save anytime. But it's still annoying to what is Otherwise a very relaxing and enjoyable game so far.

Even though I have the Ellie Edition, I couldn't pass up the digital version of TLOU Part 2 for $10.
60fps and gyro aiming makes this a joy to play on PS5, along with TLOU Part 1.

@tallythwack The FLESH system looks impressive! I watched the Digital Foundry video, and it runs at 1728p 60fps on PS5. That sounds good to me!

I didn't have high expectations for this tbh, even though I like the first Dead Island. I'm looking forward to playing this co-op with a friend soon. My copy should be here tomorrow. As long as it better than the disappointing Dying Light 2, I'm all in.

This week I continue to buy digital copies of games I own physically. Because i'm too lazy to swap discs and it's less wear and tear on the disc drive of my PS5. Since all of these games are on sale, I downloaded -

Bioshock The Collection
Dragon's Crown Pro
Dying Light Definitive Edition
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered
The Last of Us Part 2
Through The Woods
Unravel Yarney Bundle

All of those games for $50, not a bad deal.

After getting the Platinum on The Last Of Us Part 1 last year. I've been meaning to play Part 2 again (even though I have the Platinum in that also) so I started that last night. Other then that, on Switch I'm playing Bayonetta Origins. I ordered physical copies of Dead Island 2 & Fatal Frame Mask of the Luner Eclipse, but they won't arrive until Tuesday.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

It's hard to complain about free content to a great game such as RE 4 Remake. I prefer Mercenaries in co-op though (RE 5, 6, Revelations 1 & 2). Playing solo gets boring pretty fast. But I'll give it a shot. I suppose I still complained 😕

Capcom has been on a roll (to me) since RE 7 Biohazard, releasing hit after hit consistently. RE 4 Remake continues that. Definitely my game of the year. I'm looking forward to the Mega Man Battle Network collection and Street Fighter 6. Bring on RE Code Veronica next, please.

Absolutely amazing game! But I won't be playing NG+ anytime soon. Mabey I'll get to it before a new GOW game comes out. Too many games in my backlog, PS Plus Premium, & Game Pass to go back to this. Besides I already have the Platinum.

120hz mode is a very welcome update. I was pretty excited to play this a few months before launch but ended up being disappointed.

It's not a terrible game but it definitely didn't live up to the expectations I had for it. But I still need to go back and finish it. Mabey I'll boot up my Series X and do that this weekend. At least it's on Game Pass so I didn't waste money buying it.

@Mgene15 Yeah, there are too many games to play, not including Game Pass & PS Plus Premium. All these new games each and every month plus my backlog. I can't keep up. Send help 😂😂😂.

I'm still trophy hunting on Resident Evil 4 Remake.

My physical copies of Bayonetta Origins & Metroid Prime Remastered came in yesterday.
I started Bayonetta Origins last night and the beautiful art style looks amazing on my OLED display.

Other then that I still have to finish Octopath Traveler 2, Hogwarts Legacy, & Fatal Frame Mask of the Lunar Eclipse. So I'll be busy for a while.

The prices are dropping so fast on these. Sony made a better decision when it comes to SSD expanded storage over Xbox.

I bought a 1TB WB Black SSD for $220 at the end of 2021 to a 2TB Samsung 980 Pro at the beginning of this year for $200.

Paying $360 for a 2TB Seagate SSD for my Series X seemed like such a rip off in comparison.

At this rate I'll be able to upgrade to a 4TB SSD for my PS5 by the end of this year or early next year. With over 80 physical PS5 games not including PS Plus Essential/Premium more storage is already needed.

Amazing game! I'll gladly double dip and buy physical copies of this and Octopath Traveler 2 for PS5 when the price drops to $30 or less. Hopefully Octopath Traveler 1 comes to Playstation also.

@dschons The gyro does feel a little off. I'm assuming part of the reason is because Leon has weapon sway. I'm pretty sure I was able to aim left and right with the right stick while using gyro, but not up and down. I'll have to play the demo again and see. I hope the full game will add options to adjust the gyro sensitivity. Either way, it's better than no gyro at all. I'm still able to pull off head shots. But the gyro in Resident Evil Revelations on Switch, for example, still feels better.

@dschons It does? Wow! Capcom finally added gyro to a RE game that isn't on Switch. I'm even more hyped to play RE 4 Remake now! Thanks for the info!

After getting the Platinum on Dead Space Remake, I've been counting down the days until this release.

Put my pre-order in yesterday thru Best Buy, and it comes with a Steelbook case, which will go nicely with my RE2 & RE3 Steelbooks.

Ordered my Dualsense Edge from Playstation Direct last night. Once I got used to back buttons, it's hard to go without them. I wish the battery life was better but I game at my desk with charging stands and cables within arms reach. Also having only 2 back buttons instead of 4 is disappointing. But it's not a deal breaker.

@get2sammyb Thank you! Impossible difficulty was a little stressful but not as difficult as I thought it was going to be. Very enjoyable game! Now I'm really looking forward to RE 4!

I'm already sold on the game, so I'll skip the video.
Hopefully, it lives up to the hype. Dead Space will be hard to top in the survival horror genre.
Ever since RE 7, Capcom hasn't let me down, so I have faith.

Looks like I'll be picking up a copy of Hogwarts soon! I kinda figured this would get an 8 or 9/10
I just Platinumed Dead Space this morning, so the timing couldn't be better!

Deliver Us The Moon was a pleasant surprise and fun Platinum a few weeks back on my PS5 thru PS Plus Premium. I had no idea another one was being released so soon. With so many other games to play, I'll wait and see if this comes to Game Pass & or PS Plus Premium.

Dead Space is easily my game of the month/year so far for PS5. I enjoyed it so much that after I finished it, I went back and played/beat Dead Space 2 on my Series X this morning. I also played through Dead Space 3 co-op about a month ago. I'll be starting an NG+ of Dead Space Remake today!

I'm playing Persona 3 & 4 on Switch.

I picked up a copy of DBZ Kakarot for PS5 but have yet to play it.

The game was disappointing and very buggy at launch. I still prefer Dying Light 1. But it's been a while, so maybe I'll jump back into some co-op on Series X and finally finish the campaign at least...

@monostat7 I don't have a PC. But I'm fine with the 360 version thru backward compatibility on Series X. I play at my desk on the smaller oled tv (48 inches), and with inky blacks and Auto HDR, it still looks good.

Gray & Red are two of my favorite colors. I'll have to see them first, of course, but if they look nice, I'll probably pick them up. My next Dualsense purchase will be the Edge first, though.

@BrotherFilmriss The 60fps boost for Dead Space 2 & 3 is nice on Series X, but unfortunately, the resolution stays the same as the 360 originals at 720p. Which looks a little rough on a 4K oled display. But the added auto HDR looks good, though.

I'm absolutely loving Dead Space on PS5! Dead Space 2 Remake next, please.

It's nice to be able to play Dead Space 2 & 3 on my Series X at 60fps, which I will be playing after I finish the remake. They can skip the third game and make a brand new one after that.

I still need to play the regular edition I picked up for PS5 last year. That's cool it's coming to PSVR2 even though I'll be skipping that.

I am currently on chapter 5, and the game looks gorgeous to me. Smooth framerate, and the 3D audio sounds great. No glitches or crashes either. I'm playing on an LG C1 oled, so inky blacks galore!

Put my pre-order in last week, and my copy is out for delivery today. I have the original Dead Space for Xbox 360, and I've only played and completed it once years ago.

After recently finishing Dead Space 3 co-op with a friend (Series X), and it wasn't bad, just not scary. I'm excited to get lost in a more survival horror Dead Space game again.

My copy shipped out today, so it should be here tomorrow on release. 60fps all the way.

The biggest disappointment to me is the lack of gyro support, but I'll have to do without it. I've had Dead Space for years on 360, but I only played it one time.

So this will be a pretty fresh experience for me. With lights off, headphones on, and an OLED display!

Between Dead Space & Goldeneye, this is going to be a great weekend!

I was debating on pre-ordering one but decided not to. With 7 Dualsense controllers, I can wait a little while on this.

I will admit that when I play games on my Series X with the Elite Series 2 or PS4 games with a Dualshock 4 and back button attachment, I miss the back buttons after picking up a Dualsense.

I don't play games competitively, so I don't take advantage of everything a Pro style controller has to offer (trigger stops, thumb stick tension, ect), but the back buttons and premium feel is great for someone like me who games multiple hours a day.

I'll eventually pick one up, but for now, the standard Dualsense is fine.

@dschons I prefer to have loose stick resistance also. It's nice to be able to adjust the stick tension on my Elite Series 2 controller. I was hoping the Dualsense Edge controller would have the same option, but that doesn't seem to be the case, unfortunately. If only Xbox controllers had gyro sensors in them, then gyro would probably be a standard across the board for all consoles. I agree. It's nice to see Sony have gyro available for most of their 1st party games. It's definitely a step up from the PS4 gen that's for sure.

@grubsteak, you should definitely at least try it. Gyro controls are also optional on The Last of Us Part 1, Horizon Forbidden West, & God of War Ragnarok if you have any of those. Gyro is perfect for fine-tuning your aim to pull off head shots, ect.
It's the closest to mouse/keyboard for precision on console.

@dschons Awww, don't say that. It really doesn't? I'm not surprised, but it still sucks. 60fps will be a nice upgrade from my 360 version, though. I'll just have to put up with the dated aiming with a thumb stick...

This is all good to hear, but I want gyro aiming for the PS5 version most of all. Idk why it isn't an optional choice for all shooters on Switch and PS4/PS5 by now. I was pleasantly surprised to see gyro controls in The Callisto Protocol. Hopefully, Dead Space will have it as well. Either way, I'll find out on Friday.

Already got the Platinum and transferred the game over to my HDD to clear space on my SSD.

New Game+ is always a nice addition, though.
Mabey, I'll go back and play it again around Halloween 🎃.

@KidBoruto, I see physical copies available for pre-order on Play-Asia for Switch & PS4. I'll just import if I have to. Like I did with Maiden of Black Water.

I'll pick up a copy when it drops down to $20.
Hopefully, it will have a 60fps patch by then...

Another year full of amazing games! Not including Switch games, Game Pass, & PS Plus Premium. I'll be busy for a long time! Us gamers have it made!

I already have it pre loaded on my Series X thru Game Pass. If it turns out to be good, I'll buy a physical copy for PS5 after a price drop. I'm glad to hear it has a 60fps mode!

Performance mode all the way. Mabey, a PS5 Pro will give us 60fps and ray-tracing someday?

Now, please give us gyro controls for the PS5 version. If gyro is included, I'd play 4K 30fps for one of my playthroughs at least.

I'm really looking forward to picking up physical copies for Switch & PS5, especially after enjoying Maiden of Black Water so much! I have Fatal Frame 1 & 2 for OG Xbox, now I just need Fatal Frame 3.

My PS5 has a disc drive, but if I'm able to purchase a separate drive for $100 or less and use it with my PS5, I would. That would be less wear and tear on my built-in disc drive, and it's easier to replace an external drive. Especially since most of my games are physical.

Got my pre-order in and ready to go on release day (assuming my game will be delivered that day).
I really hope the PS5 version has gyro support like Callisto Protocol has 🤞.
