Also on the topic of first party studio collaboration, has anyone started finding the poems in Ragnarok? I'm only in the starting area so far but they all reference other first party IPs!
@Cheski keep trying Game, even though it says out of stock. People are cancelling their orders and it's allowing a few people a day to order. Takes luck and patience but I got my bundle with Miles Morales that way, order gone right through (it seems). Good luck!
Missed out as was driving to work this morning when Argos went live and then ended up 16,000th in Currys queue. Doesn't look like it was meant to be...
@Deadlyblack Do you mind me asking what's your setup? Considering getting one myself (I currently have a very good Samsung soundbar but have been thinking about adding some speakers - not too sure where to start)
I really like the look and setting of this, hope the melee combat feels satisfying as it looked a bit too Skyrim-esque, like they were just swinging through enemies and not really connecting. Hope I'm wrong though
While I think the game will objectively be a great game and I will most likely pick it up at some point, I can't help but feel a little bit less excited every time I've seen it. CDPR have been trying to generate and maintain hype for years now and it's just... exhausting honestly. I would much rather have first heard about this game last year as I feel I've gone over the hype peak and I'm just on a downwards trajectory with this game.
One thing I thought was interesting is when Rachet is teleporting around in combat, instead of the character model and camera moving in the world, it seemed the world moved to the camera. A really nice effect which looked great, and I would imagine - knowing nothing about programming - that it would be more memory intensive doing it that way? Using the PS5's extra power well perhaps...
The hype that's gonna build over the next week and the discussions which will dominate the weeks after will be total justification of Sony's ploy of keeping their cards close to their chests so far.
@RBMango I actually don't mind Sony keeping it's cards close to it's chest. Sure, I'm dying to know more, but that just proves they have me right where they want me! The explosion of chatter after the controller reveal shows how effective it can be to "starve" the audience of information and then finally give them something, as long as it doesn't get frustrating. Microsoft revealing little bits at a time more regularly lessens the impact of the reveals, in my opinion. Sony know it's audience is clamouring for something, anything, and can play on that. I feel Microsoft trying to generate more hype by revealing more stuff could come back to bite them as is makes each reveal less special. Just my take anyway

Did anyone else notice the 3D audio when Miles walked through the market at the beginning of the Spider-Man demo? Thought it was so cool!

Re: PS5 Uses Bluetooth 5.1, Wi-Fi 6 for Improved Performance
Hopefully this will allow us to connect bluetooth headsets to the PS5, having to get my cable for Sony's own XM3s when on the PS4 is a bit silly

Re: How Well Do You Know inFAMOUS?
13/15, inFamous might be one of my favourite franchises. Had no idea about the move controllers though!
Re: Site News: Yes, We're Playing Ghost of Tsushima
Sucker Punch & Sony must be really confident to give you 2 weeks + with the game before the embargo lifts to really delve into it... Very excited now!

Re: How Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is Taking Advantage of PS5
I can't wait to use the new controller, it seems like it will makes games much more immersive
Re: PS5's Large Size Helps It Stay Cool, PlayStation Confirms
@gmxs if it's not too much of a deal-breaker I would recommend putting some headphones on and sticking with it as a really enjoyable game
Re: PS5's Large Size Helps It Stay Cool, PlayStation Confirms
The worst culprit for my PS4 Pro is Star Wars: Battlefront 2. Just when I think it can't get any loader, it does

Also is this the first official look at the black variant of the dualsense?

Re: This PandaBall Gameplay Trailer Is a Welcome Lesson in Sound Design
This actually looks pretty fun! Reminds me of that old Mario football game on the gamecube. Would have made a good PS+ game
