I do really hope that at the very least first party titles make use of the big features of the DualSense. I do think there is a fine line between making the certain features compliment a game and having said features be so prominent and frequent that they distract you.
Some people will get genuinely faulty consoles, it will always happen unfortunately whether its day one or 100 but it will be a small minority. Treat the console well and don't abuse it (hardware or software) and there shouldn't be a problem. There will be a software patch out at some point soon to sort the storage/rebuilding issue no doubt.
I'll not be using external storage anyway so hopefully I'll not have this issue. Does seem a concern that there's alot of issues, although perhaps its just that the people who have issues are much more vocal about it.
@TheArt I can honestly say I wasn't playing either of those games 5 years after release. Remasters and remakes is a different situation though, especially with games like Resi 2/3 as they are so vastly improved.
@fR_eeBritney Does that matter? If you play it and enjoy it then its done its job. There's so many new games coming out every month you've always got something new to play and enjoy, don't need to be revisiting games from 5 years ago.
This will now be the first game I play on PS5 (after AstroBot). I wasn't going to bother with this until next year but the delay to Cyberpunk has made the decision easy. Cyberpunk can wait till next year instead.
I like it! As with anything artistic, it can and does divide opinion. We've got enough boring rectangles/cuboids in our lives, another one isn't needed.
Seen alot of people on here saying how ridiculous £70 is for a game. But reading the article its actually saying $70, which works out around £55, that's fairly average for a new title and alot of them infact start at £59.99 (Avengers for example). So unless they are considering charging £70 rather than £55/60 then i don't know what the fuss is.
@graysoncharles "Sony wants to focus on delivering 3D audio through headphones first. But, according to Mark Cerny, PS5 lead architect, the console will also be capable of delivering 3D audio through your regular set-up – whether it be television speakers, soundbars or surround sound systems". So by the sounds of it, probably is best with headphones but is utilized with every sound setup. Didn't know anything had been mentioned about it so my bad for asking a question i could've found the answer to myself.
@Jeremiah_Thor I'd also like to know this. We don't seem to have heard much about the feature either, not compared to how much we have about the DualSense for example. Other than late at night perhaps, it will always be surround sound that will be used so would be really good to know if there's an improvement as I felt alot of games in Ps4 era didn't make enough of surround sound capabilities.
Hallelujah!!! Honestly this may well be the thing I'm most excited about Aslong as its still this quiet (or near enough) after 3/4 years I'll be happy.
No complaints here, plenty for me! In a year or twos time when there's more games out that I'd perhaps want installed permanently than there's space to upgrade.
@Salohcin The same thing I say about every COD that gets released! At least this is something different, some originality to it. Saying that, if it wasn't on PS+ I'd not be playing it, not anytime soon anyway.
What is the issue? Just keep the games you play regularly installed and ready to go. There will be more than enough room to have 6/7 games installed, does anyone play 7 different games in the space of a week or even a month? Do you really need your entire catalogue of games installed and ready to play within seconds? Have some patience or plan ahead.
You know something, I've never been bothered that much by these kind of games, played a bit of Darks Souls 3 and I've played Bloodborne but this has got me excited, it looks fantastic and I'd like to think I've got the patience now I'm slightly older to try and beat this!
Less than a month before people will have it in their own hands so why have Sony bothered putting an embargo on certain pieces of info? Especially if its only for a few more days. Seems pointless really.
Means nothing in the grand scheme of things, especially if this ends up being anywhere near as good as The Witcher! Although I am disappointed this won't be able to be the first game I play on PS5
I'm warming to these 2! Now I've seen them in character (kind of). I feel like they'll have a good back and forth just like in the games. I do hope they don't just go for a re telling of the first game as Drake and Sully would be older than Tom and Mark are now!
Nice idea! Just hope those rewards aren't for only incredibly difficult trophies! I enjoy playing the games more than stressing about getting every trophy.
@710King Seems a long time to wait. I'm not patient enough for that, I'll be playing it launch day and then I'll enjoy the free next gen upgrade whenever that comes out as well.
If it wasn't for Cyberpunk I would probably be more excited about this. Love the Viking/Old England setting but can't see myself bothering with it until later next year.
The fact that this comes out the same day as the PS5 (same day I also receive it hopefully) means this will 100% be the first game I play next gen!! These are the kind of games that need to become more of a regularity on PS5, massively detailed/open world/full of things to do.
@TheIdleCritic Does make you realise that perhaps with all the work that goes into modern games, maybe paying that extra £10 isn't such a crime after all.
Can't wait for this! Just hope it lives up to what is expected. I'm liking what I see so far but I'd not say no to a bit gameplay from the finished version!
I play FIFA a fair bit but it is mainly FUT and Online Seasons. Not fussed about not keeping my progress in Online Seasons, part of the fun of that is rising up to the top anyway, not the stress of trying to stay there.
@Anti-Matter I understand what you mean but if you are one of the many who have paid for a PSVR headset you want games which are specifically designed to be played that way. I'll use Beat Saber as an example, because that is a fantastic game. Ultimately that game is as good as it is because its in VR and solely VR.
@ApostateMage Arguably those yearly games (sports especially) may be the only ones that are worth the extra £££ increase, however much that would be, considering the replay value they hold. Not that id be happy with it.
There's a few PS5 games for pre order on Amazon (not always the cheapest) available at £69.99 but also many at £51.99. So it seems it may vary widely depending on the game.
Can't say i would ever bother with it, unless it did decrease in price dramatically. Never been an issue for me to delete games and then re install them if I want to play again further down the line. I understand that in 3/4/5 years time it may be worthwhile as the size of an expansion could be considerable, but until then its not on my mind at all.

@ShogunRok I've seen the map is slightly smaller overall than Odyssey, does it feel better for it or are things a bit squeezed together?

@Chris93 I'm sure Bloodborne has already been a PS+ game, I may be mistaken though.

Would be a nice touch to have The Order 1886 as one of them! Seeing as it was released with the PS4 (if I remember right).
