Still hope there'll be an option to turn all these activity cards and whatnot off, they look a bit too cluttered to my liking and I'm not using them anyway.
I still find the DualSense a tad too large and heavy for my liking, but would I trade it in for a DS4? Probably not, the haptic feedback, triggers and mic are way too good in games like WRC9 and Demon's Souls.
@Medic_Alert I concur, I've been using thegamecollection mainly for the past few years. Been trying to talk them up in comments but I thought I was the only one using them here!
@oldschool1987 I'd say the first soulsborne game you play is the most difficult. There's not much in between them in my experience, although I haven't played Sekiro yet.
Thoroughly enjoying my time with Demon's Souls. Thought it started out easily enough and then thought it got incredibly hard, until I was advised to try other areas first before finishing one, which worked wonders.
I'm personally not that bothered about who has the biggest sausage, but I find it quite funny that lots of xbox fanboys kept going on about their superior console. Also, the Xbox banners with the slogan "the world's most powerful console" seem quite funny. Boastful much?
I've been thoroughly enjoying this. The DualSense capabilities make for an even better game than it normally would be, it really enhances the experience. Also, I haven't experienced any bugs whatsoever so far.
@elvisfan1 I agree about WRC 9. I just finished playing Dirt Rally 2 thinking I didn't need another rally game so soon, but by golly the DualSense takes it up to another level.
"once you’ve spent a weekend with the PS5, you can’t go back" I agree. The thing that actually surprised me the most is the controller, as it adds so much to the immersion. I went from a base ps4 to ps5, so the level of detail in Demon's Souls especially is a delight to behold. And everything so far is 60 fps! All in all very chuffed I went the Playstation route again.
@Kidfunkadelic83 I've thoroughly enjoyed both Dirt Rallies but am also enjoying WRC a lot. The handling is a lot easier to get used to, and there's also a proper career mode. Also, the haptic feedback is really, really cool and enhances the driving experience greatly.
A simple Dead Space port will do, but a BluePoint remaster of ICO would make me quite happy indeed. Also, we need proper ports of the original Silent Hill quadrilogy.
I'm all for original titles, but since the ps5 is restricted to ps4 games regarding backpat, I think there's nothing wrong with keeping old gems alive.
@Rob_230 I was asking myself the exact same thing. Although it looks great I'm not bothering with this if it's primarily designed to be played in co-op.
I've put quite a few hours in Two Point Hospital on the PS4 which controlled absolutely fine, so is this much worse? Also, I've read reports about suffering frame rates even on high-end pc's when things get busy in the park, is that also the case on ps4/5?
I would have preferred different colour options at launch as the I don't like the white, but I'm not forking out extra dosh for a different colour later, no sirree!

Re: Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time Remake Delayed to March 2021
Prince of Persia demake more like. This looked terrible. Its preorder price is 30 quid nonetheless!
Re: Site News: Where's Our Cyberpunk 2077 Review?
It's a bloated buggy mess with crap gameplay apparently, so no surprises there
Re: Empire of Sin (PS4) - Gangster Strategy Game Is a Broken Mess
Thanks for the chuckles. I was actually looking forward tp this but I guess this saves me another 30 quid.
Re: PS5 Montage Trailer Brings Big Hype
@Gaming365247 There's the fabous WRC9 to make up for that!
Can't wait to play Ratchet and RE8.
Re: DualSense Sensation WRC 9 Adds Free Content in December Update
I bought it purely for the DualSense feedback thinking it might entertain me for a short while, but it's actually an absolutely fantastic game.
Re: Silent Hill, Gravity Rush Veterans Leave Sony Japan Studio to Form New Team
@Turbodream Interesting, so it's quite an onimous-sounding company name.
Re: Silent Hill, Gravity Rush Veterans Leave Sony Japan Studio to Form New Team
Dear PushSquare,
Can you stop using the words "Silent Hill" in titles please unless it actually concerns news about a new entry.
Many thanks,
My heart rate
Re: Gallery: PS5, PS4 Console Exclusive Kena: Bridge of Spirits Looks Stunning in New Screens
This looks too disnified for me but then again I am a miserable git. Technically quite impressive though.
Re: Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age (PS4) - One of the Best JRPGs Ever Made Just Got Even Better
Finished this on the Switch a year or so ago and I still have nightmares about the soundtrack.

Re: Sounds Like Xbox Is into the PS5 Controller
@Gh05tm4ch1n3 I know, but thanks anyway! I wouldn't swap anyway it though as the new features are awesome.

I've got Devil may Cry preordered and am also quite interested in Empire of Sin.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 352
Mainly Demon's Souls for me, with a bit of WRC 9 in between. And maybe even a bit of Planet Coaster.
Re: Soapbox: Demon's Souls' Difficulty Shouldn't Deter You from Playing PS5's Best Game
@oldschool1987 I'd say the first soulsborne game you play is the most difficult. There's not much in between them in my experience, although I haven't played Sekiro yet.
Re: Soapbox: Demon's Souls' Difficulty Shouldn't Deter You from Playing PS5's Best Game
@Rob_230 Hope you get well soon mate!
Thoroughly enjoying my time with Demon's Souls. Thought it started out easily enough and then thought it got incredibly hard, until I was advised to try other areas first before finishing one, which worked wonders.
Re: Talking Point: What Were Your Most Played PS4 Games?
Something like this:
Dirt Rally 2.0 100 hrs
Witcher 3 100 hrs
Two Point Hospital 60 hours
Bloodborne 50 hours
Death Stranding 50 hours

Ah, it's the obligatory PushSquare Amazon "Deals" ™ page again.
Re: Poll: Is the PS5 DualSense Sony's Best Controller Yet?
The DualSense features are excellent, however it is quite a bit larger than the DS4. I'd prefer the size of the DS4 with the features of the DS!

Re: Red Dead Online Gets Standalone Version From Next Week
I would prefer playing the story option rather than the online portion actually, but I don't suppose I'll be getting that for five smackeroons.

Re: Poll: Have You Experienced PS5 Coil Whine?
Haven't heard anything during my time with Astro and Demon's Souls, apart from the disc drive whizzing for about 10 seconds every now and again.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 351
Astrobot, WRC 9 and Demon's Souls for me. I'm utterly enjoying myself. Haven't been this excited about a new console since the Dreamcast.
Re: PlayStation Store Black Friday Sale Has Awesome PS5, PS4 Deals
WRC 9 for £24.99 is quite tempting indeed, just like Yakuza Kiwami for under a fiver!
Re: PS4 Players Can't Compare Some Trophy Lists with PS5 Profiles
I just remembered you also couldn't see Xbox One trophy lists - er, achievement lists if you were looking from an Xbox 360.
Re: 10 Things PS5 Needs to Improve
It should be able to play ps2 games, obviously. If not, I'll settle with a ps2 mini.
Re: Feature: PS5 Remasters and Remakes We Want
A simple Dead Space port will do, but a BluePoint remaster of ICO would make me quite happy indeed. Also, we need proper ports of the original Silent Hill quadrilogy.
I'm all for original titles, but since the ps5 is restricted to ps4 games regarding backpat, I think there's nothing wrong with keeping old gems alive.
Re: PlayStation Boss Can't Comment on God of War Ragnarok Being a PS5 Exclusive
I can't believe I'm actually reading an article in the Torygraph- I mean Telegraph now. Damn you, Pushsquare! (it's quite interesting though)
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your First Impressions of PS5?
The Demon's Souls case sure looks, er, like a game case. Thus concludes my initial ps5 impression in my household.
Re: Demon's Souls Gets One Last Trailer as PS5 Launches
I'm not watching as I want to experience it myself. My order has been shipped today though so I can stare at the box for a whole week!
Re: PS5 Freebie Astro's Playroom Teases More News Soon
"If, like us, you’ve already beaten the game"
NOT FUNNY
Re: The XIII PS4 Remake Looks Like a Massive Disaster
Still looks better than the Prince of Persia remake (which isn't a compliment by any account!).
Re: Final PS Store Sale Before PS5 Has Some Noteworthy PS4 Bargains
Shadow of the Colossus at £7.49 is ridiculous for one of my Games of the Generation!
Re: Hands On: Sackboy: A Big Adventure Is a Papercraft Marvel on PS5

Re: Hands On: Planet Coaster Is a Fun PS4 Ride with Bumps Along the Way
@Jayslow There's new DLC incoming for consoles early next year

Re: Round Up: Yakuza: Like a Dragon PS4 Reviews Justify a New Direction
Interesting, Eurogamer mentions "Length and the low difficulty are the main problems"
Re: Days Gone Runs at 60 Frames-Per-Second, Dynamic 4K on PS5
Truly a unique game in that I despised every single character, now in 60 fps, what's not to like?
Re: Poll: What PS5 Launch Games Will You Buy?
Demon's Souls for me. Maybe WRC 9 and Planet Coaster, depending on the reviews. Will also be enjoying the DOOM Eternal upgrade hopefully!
Re: Praey for the Gods Emulates a Team ICO Classic on PS5, PS4 in Early 2021
"Emulates" is too nice a term I'd say - "rips off" sounds more appropriate!
Re: Days Gone Gets Huge 25GB Update Ahead of PS5
@nessisonett I wasn't aware of Tofu mode but having looked it up I definitely want it.
Re: Days Gone Gets Huge 25GB Update Ahead of PS5
@nessisonett I second that! Might be even better if all the other characters were circles and crosses.
Re: Hands On: The Watch Dogs Legion Gimmick Can't Hide Tired Gameplay
"Bland" and "Ubisoft", it's like peas in a pod.
Re: WRC 9 PS5 Trailer Shows Next-Gen Rally Gameplay
I've been playing Dirt Rally 2.0 for ages, but now that WRC finally seems to step it up and deliver 60fps I might give that a go again.
