Will watch hopefully at some point this week. Really enjoyed previous No Clip docs I've watched previously. Horizon Zero Dawn and Doom 2016 are especially great.
Well that is disappointing and has happened on a few occasions now. Any game that this happens with which I'm ready to play, I'll just get 2nd hand and claim the free ps5 version that way. I have a bunch of CEX store credit I can use. Hopefully this can be sorted out for the future.
Great news! Playing Returnal at the moment and have been loving it. Good to see them transition from smaller titles to something a bit more substantial.
If you find a good summon, and not someone that just stands there and does nothing, it can make some of the more tricker encounter more manageable. I'm looking at you The Nameless King from Dark Souls 3. Also helping others overcome bosses and stuff with reward you, and is generally give a good feeling afterwards.
Well that is a very bombastic trailer. Used to play loads of Bad Company 1, 2 and Battlefield 3, 4. Did have a go at 1 and V but couldn't get into them and hardly touched the single player campaigns.
@zupertramp You see I've never had a controller fail due to a mechanical fault, as far as I can remember anyway.
@Th3solution I'm pretty sure it was only till a few years ago the advice was to drain the battery before recharging them. Batteries in phones and other moble devices these days are best recharged little and often. I doubt they will explode or anything, but it will shorten the life of the battery.
@zupertramp I've had at least two Dual Shock 4 controllers keep very minimal charge, so eventually had to replace them. Iirc they were the earlier model and not the revised ones that came out later. This also happened with a couple Xbox 360 controllers too, or at least the rechargeable battery packs that you could get.
@ralphdibny No worries! Yeah I renewed my NOW and Plus subs.
@Elodin There are offers on the PS store in the UK and on other sites, just not as cheap as that one, so it might be worth keeping an eye out if there are similar offers in the US drop in the coming days.
@OM1993 Different studios can get different things out of their games, just because one developer can hit 4K 60fps on one game does not mean suddenly it is possible for all games going forward. There could be something in one game which uses extra resources preventing it hitting 4k 60fps consistently to make the game stable to play. There could be dozens of reasons for this too, and that was just one example.
I will watch this a bit later when the 4K footage goes up on YouTube. Whenever I've watched these things 'live', the picture quality has always been a bit rubbish.
I don't remember last year's events, but I'm not one that usually gets hyped for these types of things anyway. I do what I usually do and watch the stuff that interests me after the event.
@colonelkilgore You might wanna try and a smaller title first if you are unsure if you will like the genre, something like Enter the Gungeon is often on sale and can be found really cheap. There were loads of good reccomendations in the Returnal forum thread, so you might wanna check that out.
@Gavin_Newsom I was a bit late getting a 360, so i would have possibly played them in the last 2 years of that gen. I generally do not got back to games I've previously played, as I rather play games I've not experienced before. It would have to be a special game for me to pick up a remastered version of something I've played before, something like Metal Gear Solid, Dark Souls or FFVII. I thought the Mass Effect games were good, but not outstanding so are not that special for me.
Isn't it always slim pickings in terms of exclusive games this early into a generation? Covid-19 has delayed things too, so people need to respect that a bit more. Plus most PS4 games are boosted on PS5 too or have a standalone PS5 version, so for some people that is enough, along with the exclusives we already have and that are incoming. So I don't get that complaint.
@JJ2 Yeah my dad bought his ps4 about 6 months after me, and his didn't have the glossy finish on one half, had physical buttons for eject and power and wasn't as loud as mine. Wasn't a pro or slim either.

Re: Demon's Souls Documentary Is an Hour Long Deep Dive into PS5 Remake
Will watch hopefully at some point this week. Really enjoyed previous No Clip docs I've watched previously. Horizon Zero Dawn and Doom 2016 are especially great.
Re: Battlefield 2042 Brings Back Classic Maps for Special Mode
I never liked the maps which mainly had soldier v soldier combat. Much preferred the more open ones when you had a load of vehicles to choose from.
Re: PS Plus Version of Greedfall Won't Upgrade to PS5 Version for Free

Re: Sony Confirms Acquisition of Returnal Dev Housemarque
Great news! Playing Returnal at the moment and have been loving it. Good to see them transition from smaller titles to something a bit more substantial.
Re: Poll: When Do You Expect the Next Major PS5 Livestream?
Sooner rather than later to hopefully quash some of these stupid leaks and rumours of late.

Re: Oh No! Abandoned's Developer Just Referenced Silent Hill
@FlashBandit @JechtUltima Let's get the pitch forks out guys!
But this is the second time they've had to deny having no links to Kojima.
Re: Oh No! Abandoned's Developer Just Referenced Silent Hill
@Nepp67 Yeah damn straight. I want a new (or a remake) Silent Hill game too, but it won't be from this developer.
Re: Oh No! Abandoned's Developer Just Referenced Silent Hill
Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but the developer has tweeted this:

Re: Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin PS5 Demo Now Playable with New Patch
Yeah the trailer was bloomin awful but will still give the trailer a go. Hopefully I won't forget before the 24th.
Re: Atomic Heart Is the Wildest Game of E3 2021 So Far
@skaarj217 Thanks, but I'm on about the soundtrack to the actual game.

Re: Atomic Heart Is the Wildest Game of E3 2021 So Far
I think the soundtrack is by Mick Gordon who did Doom and Doom Eternal. Will be keeping my eye on this as I've like what I've seensk far.
Re: Reaction: Xbox Game Pass Is the Thorn in PS5's Side
Excited for Plagues Tale 2 as the first one was so good.
I have zero interest in Xbox or Gamepass, so what games go on there matters not to me.
Re: Axiom Verge 2 Announced for PS5, PS4, Coming This Summer
Really enjoyed the first game so this good news this is coming to PlayStation.
Re: Elden Ring Dated for January 2022 on PS5, PS4 in New Trailer
Oh yes, that looks damn fine!
Re: Battlefield 2042 Goes Near Future on PS5 and PS4, Out in October
Well that is a very bombastic trailer. Used to play loads of Bad Company 1, 2 and Battlefield 3, 4. Did have a go at 1 and V but couldn't get into them and hardly touched the single player campaigns.
Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart: Fidelity, Performance, Performance RT - Which Graphics Mode Is Best?
Most likely Performance RT. Really struggled going back to 30fps after experiencing 60fps since getting a PS5.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 379
Returned to Returnal after taking a break as it was destroying me.
UPDATE: Still destroying me.
Re: Metro, Saints Row, TimeSplitters, and Dead Island Won't Be at E3 2021 or Summer Games Fest
@CrispyMango92 Cheers for the info! Yup, a long time @RubyCarbuncle.
Re: Over 1,200 PS5, PS4 Deals Added to Indie Games Sale on PS Store
Just added a load onto my wishlist on my PS5. Games like Darkest Dungeon were on my previous wish list almost the whole ps4 gen before Sony nixed it.
Re: Metro, Saints Row, TimeSplitters, and Dead Island Won't Be at E3 2021 or Summer Games Fest
Really surprised that there will be nothing about Dead Island. #sarcasm
In all seriousness, how many developers has that game been through and how long has that been in development?
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Patch 1.02 Released, Lets You Transfer Save Data to Intergrade on PS5
Sweet. Will probably jump back in after the Yuffie dlc is out.
Re: Days of Play Sale PS5, PS4 Deals - All Discounts on PS5 Games, PS4 Games, and Accessories
@ralphdibny No worries! Yeah I renewed my NOW and Plus subs.
@Elodin There are offers on the PS store in the UK and on other sites, just not as cheap as that one, so it might be worth keeping an eye out if there are similar offers in the US drop in the coming days.
Re: Days of Play Sale PS5, PS4 Deals - All Discounts on PS5 Games, PS4 Games, and Accessories
@ralphdibny I have no idea, sorry.
I did do a check on all my trusted web sites and there were the cheapest.

@Elodin @ralphdibny https://www.shopto.net/en/dls55907-playstation-plus-12-month-membership-p113292/
12 months of plus for £32.49
Re: Tales of Arise PS5 Details Shared, New Screenshots Revealed
@OM1993 No worries, we have all been there before. Thank you for being so decent about it, a rarity in this day and age.

Re: Days of Play Sale PS5, PS4 Deals - All Discounts on PS5 Games, PS4 Games, and Accessories
@ralphdibny I'm pretty certain more deals will be added later as I got my NOW and plus subs this time last year.
Just got an notification from Amazon and Demon's Souls is £44.15 which is the cheapest I've seen it.
Re: Scarlet Nexus PS5, PS4 Demo Available to Download Now
Cool, had my eye on this so will check it out over the weekend.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Mesmerises in 14 Minute Gameplay Sequence
Holy fudge, that sure did look stunning! I urge to watch this one in 4k if you can.
Re: Dying Light 2 Hitting PS5, PS4 on 7th December, Gameplay Revealed
Really enjoyed the first game and this looks good. One to keep an eye on and see how it turns out when people get to play it.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West PS5 Gameplay Reveal This Thursday in New State of Play Livestream
I will watch this a bit later when the 4K footage goes up on YouTube. Whenever I've watched these things 'live', the picture quality has always been a bit rubbish.
Re: Returnal Team Out to Prove It's More Than Just the 'Resogun Studio'
It sure has its tentacles in me. Phenomenal game. Will certainly be keeping an eye on what Housemarque work on next.
Re: Talking Point: What Free June 2021 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order PS5 version and another random ps4 game I already have.
Re: Poll: How Excited Are You for This Summer's Gaming Events?
I don't remember last year's events, but I'm not one that usually gets hyped for these types of things anyway. I do what I usually do and watch the stuff that interests me after the event.
Re: The Last of Us 2 PS5 Patch Out Now, Adds 60FPS Option
Strange, I've just read on another site the patch adds haptic feedback support too.
Re: Talking Point: Should Sony Have Its Own Controller Design Lab?
It would depend on the price for me. The sites that do it currently are double the price of a normal controller, which is too much IMO.
Re: Hades Could Finally Be Coming to PlayStation
@colonelkilgore You might wanna try and a smaller title first if you are unsure if you will like the genre, something like Enter the Gungeon is often on sale and can be found really cheap. There were loads of good reccomendations in the Returnal forum thread, so you might wanna check that out.
Re: Hades Could Finally Be Coming to PlayStation
@colonelkilgore There is hardly any platforming in Dead Cells, so would not class it as a 2d platformer.
Enter the Gungeon was recently free as part of Stay at Home, that would be a good introduction to the genre of rogue lite/likes.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 376
Just had Returnal handed to me by Posty, so will be diving into that shortly.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Mass Effect Legendary Edition?
@Gavin_Newsom I was a bit late getting a 360, so i would have possibly played them in the last 2 years of that gen. I generally do not got back to games I've previously played, as I rather play games I've not experienced before.

I thought the Mass Effect games were good, but not outstanding so are not that special for me.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Mass Effect Legendary Edition?
No, and I don't intend to either as I played and completed them already on 360.
Re: Dreamy PS5 Controller Colours Cosmic Red, Midnight Black Announced
I've preordered a red one already. Glad I waited and did not pay for for one of those rather expensive customised controllers.
Re: New Noclip Documentary Details Development of Dishonored Series
These are consistently well made documentaries, well worth a watch.
Re: Sony Reiterates PS5 Stock Shortages Won't Go Away Anytime Soon
Isn't it always slim pickings in terms of exclusive games this early into a generation? Covid-19 has delayed things too, so people need to respect that a bit more. Plus most PS4 games are boosted on PS5 too or have a standalone PS5 version, so for some people that is enough, along with the exclusives we already have and that are incoming. So I don't get that complaint.
Re: Alternative PS5 Controller Colours Apparently En Route
I'll be all over a black and red one if this is true.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Resident Evil Village?
@lolwhatno looks like you've just nabbed @nessisonett pay packet for this article! 😆
As for the game, I will be getting it but maybe a bit later in the year during the darker evenings.
Re: PS5 Redesign to Manufacture in 2022, Will Likely Only Alter Internals
@JJ2 Yeah my dad bought his ps4 about 6 months after me, and his didn't have the glossy finish on one half, had physical buttons for eject and power and wasn't as loud as mine. Wasn't a pro or slim either.
