Playing Blue Reflection Second Light on my PS5, I'll be going for the Platinum for that game. Still playing through Xenoblade Chronicles 3 on Switch, about 50 hours in. Nothing much on Series X at the moment.
@Lando_ Those are both good points. I was thinking the PS5 version for performance and better visuals, plus trophies. Mabey I'll wait on a review. Or pick up both versions, who knows lol.
@KilloWertz So did you quit gaming for a while? Nintendo has held on to my wallet for the past 5+ years with all the Switch releases that continue to come out with no sign of slowing down! Switch is easily my biggest collection of games (250+) I have compared to my other consoles and I still feel like I'm missing out on so many others. So many games, not enough time to play them all...
@MulletproofPunk I agree! I have the Razor Kishi and PSPlay app for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. Both work so well together. I can play PS4/PS5 games in bed at 1080p with HDR on my phone! I don't use it very often, but when I do, it's amazing! The PSPlay app even supports gyro controls and rumble thru the phone! That app puts Sony's app to shame. That being said, I've heard good things about the Backbone, if an android version comes out, I might get one.
Someone enlighten me, why would I want to use 1440p options if my TV is 4K? (LG C1 OLED) Would that be a better option to choose for games that use a lower resolution, like for performance mode? I understand if you have a monitor that's only 1440p but other then that, I don't get it. I'm a beta tester, so I'll check out the update today. I don't really care about folders...
I've only played Persona 5 and I love it! It would be nice to have all of the other Persona games released on modern systems. I'm looking forward to playing Persona 3 & 4 Golden on Series X for GamePass later this year. And hopefully pick up physical copies (if available) of them for Switch.
I already own all 3 games, but a great month none the less... I only have the PS4 version of THPS 1 & 2 though. So it would be nice to have the PS5 version...
@theMEGAniggle C'mon have some faith. I'm sure Naughty Dog will show extended gameplay with new features (Hopefully) and if not, we wait and buy it on sale for $20. And still have the best version of TLOU part 1 to date. With 3D audio, dynamic 4K, and Dualsense features lol.
I'm not picky, they don't have to be built from the ground up remakes to please me. I'll take dynamic 4K at 60fps and I'd be happy. Obviously a remake would be better, but I'm sure Sucker Punch is working on Ghost Of Tsushima 2, which I want also lol...
I think Second Son looks amazing on PS5 already and it runs at 60fps so that's fine as is...
@theMEGAniggle Lmfao the PS3 version has that. I didn't really care for it haha. 1080p at up to 120fps is fine (the way I played Uncharted Collection) and dynamic 4K at 60fps, VRR, ect. But I just want TLOU 2 gameplay and gyro support, that's all.
I'm all in day 1 because I love TLOU so much! This video doesn't do it justice though. I'll wait on Sony/Naughty Dog to give more details before I make my final decision. I really want gyro aiming to be included like ND added to TLOU part 2. But they didn't add it to Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection so that's concerning...
I was late to play Persona 5. I only played it when I got my PS5 on release day, because it's part of PS Plus. I loved it so much that I bought P5R physically for $30. I'll buy P5R again day 1 for Switch only if it has a physical release. Same for the PS5 version, but I'll wait on a price drop for that. If not, I'll just play it on Game Pass day 1 on my Series X. I'd much rather play Persona on Switch in handheld mode, but not if it's digital only...
I went back and played Infamous Second Son again on my PS5 last year to get the Platinum. Wish this would have been available for free then... o well, mabey I'll get to it one of these days. I didn't care for Second Son that much, didn't click with Delsin. Infamous 1 & 2 I loved, Cole is awesome! I would love for the first 2 games to come to PS5 with a remake or remaster. That would be great, Sucker Punch! I still need to play First Light also...
I missed out on the PS4 version but picked up a copy for Switch last year. Didn't finish it but I loved what I played of it. I'll definitely pre-order a copy for PS5 from Best Buy soon!
I kinda wanna buy it for PS5 because of better performance and higher resolution. But on the other hand, I have the first 2 games for Switch plus Travis Touchdown and would like to have the complete series on one system... mabey I'll wait for a price drop. Even though that hasn't really happened for the Switch version (physical)
Edit- No More Heroes 3 is on sale at Best Buy for $30, so I picked up a copy...
So many horror games coming out within a few months, with this in December, Dead Space Remake in January, & Resident Evil 4 in March! My favorite genre in video games hands down, so I can't wait! I just need to figure out which platform to go with for each game. Xbox Series X or PS5? Hmmm.....
I always go with the 60fps option. I don't mind the minor downgrade in visuals for that smooth framerate. Can't wait to see how amazing this game is going to look on my LG C1 OLED! 3D audio & Haptic Feedback also!
I thought PS5 already supported ALLM. I have Game Optimizer on with low latency active for my PS5, Switch, & Series X on my LG C1 OLED. I still don't fully understand what BFI does. I hear a lot of praise about it from Digital Foundry. I have my PS5 & Series X set to PC mode for the hdmi ports, so I'm assuming that's why it doesn't give me the option to turn on BFI. However I can turn it on when I use my Switch (not set to PC mode) should I not use PC mode for my PS5 & Series X so I have access to BFI settings for those? BFI being OLED Motion Pro.
@Flaming_Kaiser it's a terrible thing. I hope this doesn't become the new normal for Collector's editions from now on. I respect the will power to wait for a discount. My backlog is huge. But I'll still buy this day 1 ππ.
I've yet to try 40fps mode on any games. By the time the features get added (Ratchet & Clank, HFW) I'm already done with the games. Mabey a few years from now when I decide to re-visit some of these games, I'll get to see what 40fps is about...
A voucher code for the collector's editions, seriously? I bought the God Of War (2018) Stone Mason Edition and it came with a physical copy of the game. I was going to do the same with Ragnarok, but now I'll get the standard PS5 version. Sony pulled this crap with Horizon Forbidden West also! Oh well, smh I'll spend that extra money towards other games...
A good selection of games this month. But not for me since I already have Crash 4 for Switch, PS5, & Series X. I also have Man of Medan for Xbox but it will be nice to have it for Playstation, I suppose. I never heard of Arcadegeddon...
@AverageGamer yeah, I guess if you need a smaller screen it's fine. The G7 was my first gaming monitor. It had all the features I needed for my Series X & PS5. The price was good too (or so I thought). I'm glad I returned it and bought the OLED instead π.
@AverageGamer The new G7 which is 4K. I believe the old G7 is 1440p. I bought the new one in April from Best Buy, it was on sale for $700 after taxes. I ended up returning it and replacing it with a 48" C1. The specs are close and the G7 cost $200 less...
It's looks nice but it's definitely overpriced for what you get. For $900 you can get a 48" LG C1 OLED and this monitor doesn't even compare to that! The 27" Samsung G7 gaming monitor I replaced with the C1 has all the same features this monitor has 4K, HDR, 144hz, VRR, ect. And it cost $700. But I know it's the monitor made for PS5 so that's why it costs more. I hope to hear some info on the rumored Dualsense Pro controller though...
RE2, RE3, & RE7 all run at 4K with checkerboard on PS5 & Series X in both ray-tracing and 120fps mode. And 1440p on Series S, confirmed by Digital Foundry. So idk where you got 1080p with battered visuals from π. All the games look amazing on my Series X & PS5 on both my 77" & 48" LG C1 tv's. Of course I play games on my tv's in game mode because that's what it's for and the image quality looks amazing! I see that you adjust the sharpness and use super resolution settings which I use neither. I personally prefer 120fps mode for all 3 RE games, it's so smooth with VRR enabled and it makes movement and aiming much more responsive. There is a YouTube channel on what settings should be used for the LG C1 for PS5 & Series X to get the best picture quality out of game mode. But to each is own when it comes to that... here is the link anyway, if you want to check it out and see if it makes game mode more enjoyable for you π...
Near instant load times are easily one of the best features of the current gen. Another one would be how quiet the PS5 & Series X are, especially compared to the PS4 Pro (One X was also quiet)
I'm also impressed by how much power you get out of a $500 console with up to 120fps, Ray Tracing, ect. Backward-compatibility is also great.(especially on Series X) all of that combined with a nice TV, (in my case the LG C1 OLED) makes this gen amazing so far!
@Kidfunkadelic83 Thank you! I appreciate it. Are you playing RE2 in RT mode or high frame rate? Unfortunately my Platinum trophy transfered over from the PS4 version, so I didn't have a reason to play it again on PS5, but I played a little because I love the adaptive triggers on the Dualsense. However, I didn't have all the achievements on the Series X version, So I ended up playing it a few times on there lol. High frame rate mode is easily my favorite of the 3 options. VRR makes it run great!
@Flaming_Kaiser it's a nice collector's edition for sure. I was also lucky enough to get Ghost of Tsushima & God of War collector's editions as well π.
$100 was pushing it for what you get, even though I would buy it because I love TLOU. They can keep it at those prices. A standard physical copy will be fine for me. I'm glad I was able to get TLOU Part 2 Ellie Edition for retail.
@eagletrippin I don't worry about it, but I know it can be a concern. I've had Samsung Galaxy Note phones for years with no burn in, and they all have AMOLED screens. Same with my original PS Vita with the OLED screen & Nintendo Switch OLED(the Switch
i play daily since it's release) The LG C1 has a gallery app where you can download Screen savers that constantly change if you step away from the TV for a little while. I usually turn my C1 off if I get up to go get something to eat, or use the restroom, ect. Plus it helps if you don't constantly play the same games or watch the same TV shows with still images in the corners of the screen. I never have the OLED pixel brightness above 75, I usually have it at 50. Which is more than bright enough for me. But I know everyone has different preferences. Anyways, may you have no screen burn in and enjoy your TV! π
@Kidfunkadelic83 What games have you played on it? I was thinking about getting the 55" C1 because it's only $100 more than my 48", but it was a little too big for my desk. I know you said you don't like playing horror games. But you should definitely try RE2, RE3, RE7, & RE Village on the OLED, they all look amazing on the C1. Well everything looks amazing on that TV lol.
@Shinnok789 I agree! The perfect monitor for my PS5 & Series X has been my 48" LG C1 OLED hands down! A few months ago I bought the Samsung G7 27" gaming monitor because it has hdmi 2.1, VRR, ect. It didn't have built in speakers so I bought some Bose speakers for it. The total was about $900. Around the same time I upgraded my TV to the LG C1 77", so I knew the TV was amazing already. Best Buy had a sale on tv's and I noticed the 48" C1 was on sale for $1000. So I ended up taking the gaming monitor and speakers back and replaced it with the 48" C1. Best decision I've made! Once you go OLED, you can't go back!
@WaveBoy I can't tell if the resolution is 1080p, 1440p, ect in high frame rate mode, but it still looks good. Same as with RE2 & RE3. And the 120fps makes the game more enjoyable. Mind you, I've been playing it on my 48" C1 and not my 77" C1, so mabey the smaller screen makes it look nicer? You haven't tried it yet? I'm waiting for the Digital Foundry video for the games, because I'm curious what the resolution is when high frame rate is on. That's my only complaint with the PS5 version, still no Gyro Support SMH. Twin stick aiming is hard to go back to after playing Switch shooters that support gyro...
I've put the most time into RE7 so far on my PS5 with the new update and mabey it's because of my TV, (LG C1 OLED) but the game looks great in 120fps mode and ray tracing mode. I personally prefer 120fps mode because clearly the gameplay is much smoother and it makes aiming easier (for me at least).
The updates are minor, but welcome none the less.
Ray tracing, 120fps, VRR, 3D audio, & adaptive triggers. All great additions to some of my favorite games!
Thanks Capcom! Bring on RE4 Remake & RE Village Gold Edition!
I really enjoyed RE3 remake. But I never played the original RE3, so I can't compare the two. Mabey I'll go back to this and try to beat Inferno difficulty so I can finally get that Platinum trophy...
When the Elite Series 2 controller came out I couldn't see myself paying $180 for a controller. A few months ago when the Elite Series 2 was on sale for $140, I gave in and bought it. Now it's probably my favorite controller of all time right next to the Dualsense. I've been hoping Sony would release a back button attachment for the Dualsense like they did with the Dualshock 4. But I'll buy a Dualsense Pro controller also. I can do without stick swapping and trigger adjustments, but I love having back buttons on my controllers!
@WaveBoy Agreed. For example, playing Metroid Prime Trilogy & Resident Evil 4 on Wii is by far the best way to play those games, with the motion aiming alone. I'm definitely interested In PSVR2 to play RE2 & RE Village with motion controls. I skipped PSVR, so I didn't get to try RE7 in VR...
I'm definitely looking forward to playing this co-op with my friend on Game Pass tomorrow! Of course I need physical copies for the collection, so I'll be pre-ordering PS4 & Switch versions from Limited Run. I'm just glad I'll be able to play this day 1, and not have to wait months for Limited Run to deliver them...
I haven't put much time into the PS5 version of RE2 (already have the Platinum trophy) as I have been with the Series X version, but to me the Series X version runs smoother with ray tracing & VRR enabled. I kinda prefer the 120fps mode though, which still looks great visually on my LG C1 OLED. I'm a big fan of the adaptive triggers on the Dualsense, so that's always a welcome addition. But Idk why Capcom (or most developers for that matter) refuse to add gyro support for PS4/PS5 games. 60 or 120fps with gyro aiming would be amazing! I love using gyro for shooters on my Switch. (Doom, Sniper Elite, Zombie Army, ect) Most Playstation games don't include it, which makes no sense.
I'll play these games day 1 on my Series X with Game Pass. If no physical version for P3 & P4 is released, then I'll wait for a deep discount to buy them digital π.

@KilloWertz So did you quit gaming for a while? Nintendo has held on to my wallet for the past 5+ years with all the Switch releases that continue to come out with no sign of slowing down! Switch is easily my biggest collection of games (250+) I have compared to my other consoles and I still feel like I'm missing out on so many others.
So many games, not enough time to play them all...
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 437
Just finished Ghostwire Tokyo last night and i loved every minute of it! I have a few trophies to go until I get the platinum, so I'll be doing that.
I also started Xenoblade Chronicles 3 last night, it's safe to say that will keep me busy for a while.
I really wanna play Stray but I'll hold off until next month and buy the physical copy. Have a great weekend and happy gaming everyone!

$100 was pushing it for what you get, even though I would buy it because I love TLOU. They can keep it at those prices. A standard physical copy will be fine for me. I'm glad I was able to get TLOU Part 2 Ellie Edition for retail.
Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors
@eagletrippin I don't worry about it, but I know it can be a concern. I've had Samsung Galaxy Note phones for years with no burn in, and they all have AMOLED screens. Same with my original PS Vita with the OLED screen & Nintendo Switch OLED(the Switch
i play daily since it's release) The LG C1 has a gallery app where you can download Screen savers that constantly change if you step away from the TV for a little while. I usually turn my C1 off if I get up to go get something to eat, or use the restroom, ect. Plus it helps if you don't constantly play the same games or watch the same TV shows with still images in the corners of the screen. I never have the OLED pixel brightness above 75, I usually have it at 50. Which is more than bright enough for me. But I know everyone has different preferences. Anyways, may you have no screen burn in and enjoy your TV! π
Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors
@Kidfunkadelic83 What games have you played on it? I was thinking about getting the 55" C1 because it's only $100 more than my 48", but it was a little too big for my desk. I know you said you don't like playing horror games. But you should definitely try RE2, RE3, RE7, & RE Village on the OLED, they all look amazing on the C1. Well everything looks amazing on that TV lol.
Re: Rumour: Sony Poised to Reveal 'Perfect for PS5' Gaming Monitors
@Shinnok789 I agree! The perfect monitor for my PS5 & Series X has been my 48" LG C1 OLED hands down! A few months ago I bought the Samsung G7 27" gaming monitor because it has hdmi 2.1, VRR, ect. It didn't have built in speakers so I bought some Bose speakers for it. The total was about $900. Around the same time I upgraded my TV to the LG C1 77", so I knew the TV was amazing already. Best Buy had a sale on tv's and I noticed the 48" C1 was on sale for $1000. So I ended up taking the gaming monitor and speakers back and replaced it with the 48" C1. Best decision I've made! Once you go OLED, you can't go back!
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
@WaveBoy I can't tell if the resolution is 1080p, 1440p, ect in high frame rate mode, but it still looks good. Same as with RE2 & RE3. And the 120fps makes the game more enjoyable. Mind you, I've been playing it on my 48" C1 and not my 77" C1, so mabey the smaller screen makes it look nicer? You haven't tried it yet? I'm waiting for the Digital Foundry video for the games, because I'm curious what the resolution is when high frame rate is on. That's my only complaint with the PS5 version, still no Gyro Support SMH. Twin stick aiming is hard to go back to after playing Switch shooters that support gyro...
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
I've put the most time into RE7 so far on my PS5 with the new update and mabey it's because of my TV, (LG C1 OLED) but the game looks great in 120fps mode and ray tracing mode. I personally prefer 120fps mode because clearly the gameplay is much smoother and it makes aiming easier (for me at least).
The updates are minor, but welcome none the less.
Ray tracing, 120fps, VRR, 3D audio, & adaptive triggers. All great additions to some of my favorite games!
Thanks Capcom! Bring on RE4 Remake & RE Village Gold Edition!
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 3 (PS5) - Disappointing Remake Looks and Runs Much Better
I really enjoyed RE3 remake. But I never played the original RE3, so I can't compare the two. Mabey I'll go back to this and try to beat Inferno difficulty so I can finally get that Platinum trophy...
So hyped for RE 4 Remake!
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (PS4) - Brilliant Beat-'Em-Up Is Best in Co-Op
@bighal I appreciate the info. I live in the US. I'll probably order it from Best Buy. So I won't have to pay for shipping.
Re: Rumour: Sony to Announce a Premium Pro Controller for PS5
When the Elite Series 2 controller came out I couldn't see myself paying $180 for a controller. A few months ago when the Elite Series 2 was on sale for $140, I gave in and bought it. Now it's probably my favorite controller of all time right next to the Dualsense. I've been hoping Sony would release a back button attachment for the Dualsense like they did with the Dualshock 4. But I'll buy a Dualsense Pro controller also. I can do without stick swapping and trigger adjustments, but I love having back buttons on my controllers!
Re: Resident Evil 2 (PS5) - A Cheap and Fairly Cheerful Upgrade
@WaveBoy Agreed. For example, playing Metroid Prime Trilogy & Resident Evil 4 on Wii is by far the best way to play those games, with the motion aiming alone. I'm definitely interested In PSVR2 to play RE2 & RE Village with motion controls. I skipped PSVR, so I didn't get to try RE7 in VR...
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge (PS4) - Brilliant Beat-'Em-Up Is Best in Co-Op
I'm definitely looking forward to playing this co-op with my friend on Game Pass tomorrow!
Of course I need physical copies for the collection, so I'll be pre-ordering PS4 & Switch versions from Limited Run. I'm just glad I'll be able to play this day 1, and not have to wait months for Limited Run to deliver them...
Re: Resident Evil 2 (PS5) - A Cheap and Fairly Cheerful Upgrade
I haven't put much time into the PS5 version of RE2 (already have the Platinum trophy) as I have been with the Series X version, but to me the Series X version runs smoother with ray tracing & VRR enabled. I kinda prefer the 120fps mode though, which still looks great visually on my LG C1 OLED.
I'm a big fan of the adaptive triggers on the Dualsense, so that's always a welcome addition. But Idk why Capcom (or most developers for that matter) refuse to add gyro support for PS4/PS5 games. 60 or 120fps with gyro aiming would be amazing! I love using gyro for shooters on my Switch. (Doom, Sniper Elite, Zombie Army, ect)
Most Playstation games don't include it, which makes no sense.
Re: PS4 Versions Only for Persona 4 Golden, Persona 3 Portable
I'll play these games day 1 on my Series X with Game Pass. If no physical version for P3 & P4 is released, then I'll wait for a deep discount to buy them digital π.
