I will play a Ubisoft game again when it won’t be open world … sooo never ? Still waiting for the PoP remaster. I would be very excited for a Splinter Cell game, but not another open world game from Ubisoft.

Like PS4 games you don't need to download the full game to start. You need just the first part to start the game then the rest downloads in the background.

@TheDudeElDuderino There is no option for boost mode like on PS4 pro, is always on internally. Developers need to update their games to take advantage of PS5's boost mode (mostly all of them need to remove the frame caps). But this is not that easy like it sounds. Most games are developed with 30fps in mind and you will have frame passing issues, audio issues, lipsync issues.

Had the console for 4 months now. No issues with rest mode. It's always in rest mode with Pulse headphone connected and no issues wakeing it up. Had an issue starting up Prey, but the CD version 1.0, just blacked screen my console. Also uncharted 4 has some texture smirring, same on version 1.0. can't update my games because I'm on board of a ship, wifi is 10$/1Gb. Hoping that I will disembark soon and install some PS5 games at home to see how the console really performs. Loving GOT, LOU2 and GOW at 60 fps, can't go back any more to 30fps, games are unplayable for me ) Curios If the console has any coil whine in more demanding games, but untill now it's whisper quiet.

@RunGMhx You have to lower your expectations from a 500$ machine. A high end PC can barely do 4K with ray tracing with 60fps without dlss enabled. What you see on the box is just the spec for HDMi 2.1. More or less it has a RX6700 with 4 cores disabled, plus the shared memmory pool with the CPU. And you have the power limit to consider for the variable frequency. The PS5 is actually a mid-high spec laptop. But again given the price point you don't have much to complain about. If FSR will get better over time or even Sony's checkerboarding then you will see more games at "4k" 60fps and RT enabled, but that will take time untill devs get used to the new hardware.

@CrushALL Thanks for the info !!

Can somebody confirm how big is the update ??

@sanderson72 it depends on the model. pS4 Pro had already like 3 revisions. I have also SSD inside but still it's a jet engine. But I changed the thermal paste and it's just during demanding games.

@sanderson72 The pro already has very restricted cooling, if it had a mesh would've been even worse. The biggest problems with Pro overtime is the low quality thermal paste. After 2 years you need to change it out with a good one, and you will see a really big difference afterwards.

I think the voice in the trailer is actually Kraven the Hunter !!! So hyped. Insomniac kicked AZZ tonight !! Waiting for more details on Wolverine now.

I think "the stalker" (the dryad with the bow) is actually Artemis hunting Kratos for his past deeds.

Did someone see the Centaur lady with the bow fighting Kratos ?? Could it be ?? Artemis is hunting Kratos ??

I bought both games at launch. Big supporter of naughty dog and there uncharted series. But I'm not gonna pay full price again for the games if no upgrade path will be available.

How much do we have to pay ??? 10€ that's what Jimmy said moving forward.

@SJBUK I don't say that it's not extra work. But I'm only referring now at cross-gen games. Nobody is taking full advantage of the PS5 even Sony, especially now with there ports of GOT or Death Stranding, are just patched PS4 games, and that's what HFW will be also. Especially because this game started development on PS4. If Sony wanted to increase prices for games, just make 70 for all cross-gen games.

@BigBirdy if Sony is short on cash they should cut their loses. I'm talking about their mobile division that only hemerages money. Join PS+ with PSNow, hire the guys who made the PS3 emulator on PC and just make a proper emulator for the older consoles on PS5, and then they can stop the PS3 Streaming farms, that also is a waste of money, and finally they can make PS+/PSNow available in all territories that they have PSStore already available. After all oh this, Sony won't need to nickel & dime for 10$ on cross gen games or crunch studios.

@SJBUK But for a 3rd party developer those are just gimmicks. It's just additional work that not many developers are doing. Especially because of the competition. PS4 had the touchpad and six axis and almost nobody used those. I'm not a developer but the ideea behind 3d audio and RT, you have dedicated hardware that can calculate everything and you don't need to fake it or bake it in like before.

@CynicalGamer what is this change in infrastructure ?? They are both x86 systems, they use the same API and same underlying OS(BSD). Because of the SSD ?? Most devs even don't take full advantage of that yet just so they don't brake their cross-gen games. Most devs have less optimisations to do because of less hardware constraints. On Sony's side is another story because they don't release games on PC, most of their engines are limited by the hardware constraints of the PS4. Why consumers should pay for their shortcomings ? You want to shift to 70$ than shift all cross-gen games to 70$ and that's that. But there is no reason to pay extra 10$ when most of the work is actually going in to the PS4 version because of the optimisation to make it work properly.

@SJBUK honestly now, from a developer's stand point, what is harder ?? To bring a game to PS5 ? Or bring a game to PS4 ? You have less hardware constraints, the need of optimization on PS5 is not the same like on PS4, am I wrong ??

Doesn't hurt to call Sony out apparently !! And same thing will happen with next games if you promote them as cross-gen.

@thefourfoldroot removing duplication of data is just adding metadata to your engine, and it's not more difficult it's just easier. Like I said any new additions to engine or API, ar just that additions but the y both share the same base API, it's just scaled differently between the systems. Sony has no leg to rest on. The process now is even simpler because they don't need to do so much optimization for PS5 because they don't have the same hardware limitations like on PS4. Now with their crosgen games they have more work to do on PS4 to optimize and scale then on PS5.

Why do most developers have no issues bringing fast PS5 editions of their games on the store ?? Because most developers are on PC as well, and their engines have no limitations. The extra expense what Sony is trying to push now on consumers is because there engines were built around the limitations of PS4(30fps engines) that's why on PS4 pro most upgrades where just assets and resolution bumps. PS5 has no separate development, it's the same API, same arhitecture , same OS.

@thefourfoldroot Sony likes you to think that PS5 development is separate and that's why they are trying to push this "extra cost" on the consumers. But the reality is that the development is one and the same. PS4 and PS5 they both are x86 arhitecture, they both run on the same underlying OS and that's BSD, they use the same development API gnm and gnmX maybe with some additional tools for PS5 (like the haptic API). There is no reason for this "upgrade". On PC you never payed extra if the game supported DX11 & 12, you didn't pay extra for games when you upgraded your system. It's all nonsense and people should not endorse this kind of practices.

@TooBarFoo Even if it will have two connections it's still one cable. The most important thing is that it will not have any additional box like the first PSVR had. There is no need now for HDMi passthrough, PS5 has 3d audio integrated. So hopefully we will not have a mess of cables anymore.

@zebric21 it's a steady 60 can vouch for that. (Tested the disc version, no updates)

Regarding PSVR2, just checked online that the Texas Instruments TUSB1044 10 Gbps USB Type-C bi-directional linear redriver (as per ifixit.com) inside the PS5 has "DisplayPort 1.4 as Alternate Mode" and can use all 4 lanes in the same time to transmit the full bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.4 of 32.4Gbs (3840 x 2160 / 120 Hz / 10 Bit Chroma / HDR)

So most probably the next PSVR will use the 2 front ports (USB-A for additional power and sensor data)

@SJBUK as long as the box is not reduced in size, when you are shipping by container on sea, you will be limited by volume before weight. You can load up to 25 Tons in a 40feet container. And the freight is the same. It's different story if you ship them by air.

@get2sammyb just checked online that the Texas Instruments TUSB1044 10 Gbps USB Type-C bi-directional linear redriver (as per ifixit.com) inside the PS5 has "DisplayPort 1.4 as Alternate Mode" and can use all 4 lanes in the same time to transmit the full bandwidth of DisplayPort 1.4 of 32.4Gbs (3840 x 2160 / 120 Hz / 10 Bit Chroma / HDR)

Would be nice if Sony just financed also PES and together with their involvement with UEFA they could have made PES better with more team licences on board.

Looks awesome !!! Would be even better if it had split screen and I can play with my 3 little boys.

For the moment I'm on board a vessel and can't buy any new games. But still, the hike to 70€ is rough. In Romania the price for games is way to high (like 75€ on PSN). Waiting for discounts, not in a hurry. If it was God of War 2 or Uncharted 5, yes I would jump on the immediately.

@yellowdog05 played zero dawn untill half and then I managed to buy a PS5. Played days gone ghost of Tsushima and God of war @ 60fps ... Can't go back to 30fps, just waiting for a patch. Common Guerilla !!

Sony can't be bothered to updated their own games (horizon ZD) for PS5 and you guys want Microsoft to do it. I really enjoyed Senua, nice effort from Ninja Theory. To bad they got bought by Microsoft. I hope all the best for this studio under the Microsoft mantle.

I just hope the VR AiM controller can be tracked by the new headset or just use the old camera. It's a really good controller and it's future proof cause it has all the buttons like a normal controller. Fingers crossed.

@skaarj217 It's a shield to protect from radio interference from the wi-fi module. Radio waves or static can shift one bit around in your memory, and all your data can become corrupted. That's why also the MB is shielded. In PC, the case also acts as shielding against radio interference.

@Vertpin It's an expansion bay. Internal memory is soldered on the board is not replaceable. This will expand your PS5 storage.

@rjc-32 You can see that most repair videos on consoles are for HDMi ports. People don't know how to plug in a cable and you want them to learn to use a screw driver )

@GADG3Tx87 i got 3 words for you ... Army of Two. Another franchise that started great and EA fudged it up. First game was really good for it's time. Second one brought the weapon building sys from dead space 3, still a ok game and 3rd one was like .. who cares and that was that.

Hope they didn't cut down the heat sink. Really can't see from where they manage to cut so much.

Just finished Days Gone few days ago, also got the Platinum and I can say I really enjoyed the game. After that secret ending I really really would like to see a sequel. I don’t know how the game was at launch but playing it on PS5 was just perfect.

It’s not the first time when we see differences between US and other PS Store fronts. In Romania the games are always more expensive then the US counter part. Even new releases they are exceeding the 70€ MSRP. DISC copies most of the times are cheaper from retailers than what Sony is charging for digital on day 1

@Digit2021 @Digit2021 it’s difficult to ignore revenue from 120mil Consoles, that’s why for the foreseeable future you will still see games on ps4/ps5.

EA like Sony, they belive in generations. More and more I understand that this statement is about money and not the games. You will have small upgrades on PS5 to justify the 10$/£/€ hike (GoT Japanese lipsync) When we will have 100mil PS5s out there we will see less games coming to Ps4 and with it no need for “free” upgrades or enhance editions for PS5.

I can honestly say I had issues with the PS4 Pro on board because of it’s small XO feet. Found it a couple of times on the edge of the table.

@Dobbos yep!! 4 months contract … need something to pass the time ) I was around Tampa when Elsa hit Florida, when I finished my watch, i found all my room upside down because of the bad weather. PS5 still standing in place

A lot of people are complaining about the ps5 design but I say it’s the BEST EVER. Presently i’m serving on a ship and I have my Ps5 with me. The Ps5 when set horizontally has such a good low centre of gravity, it’s like a Porsche. Vessel’s been rolling like 20 degrees from side to side … PS5 didn’t even move a inch.

@Voltan if those units are in the hands of scalper no body is buying the games. Sony for the moment is losing money on each PS5 sold, their not making profits from hardware.

I think because of the scalpers Sony has a serious cash flow problem. And trying to find where ever they can somenextra money. That’s why all their future projects looks like they’re all crossgen. But to suck dry you’re fanbase is not a solution. With a playerbase of 120mil if they make PSNow largely available in other countries they could really have a gamepass contender even better. But time will tell after Ps5 will be available in stores will see if Sony’s software revenue will increase or not and then we will se a shift in prices.

Only grudge I have with 505, is that they locked the PS5 version of the game under Ultimate edition. I bought the standard edition just one week before they announced this. Now I’m stuck playing this game at 30fps on PS5 and it sucks

Looking forward for this one. That's even better news that the game will not have micro transactions. Comparing to Ubisoft, that they didn't even release a game and already talking about DLC. Miss the time when you where paying for a full game from the get go. It's time for people to rise up to this practice and stop Ubisoft and other publishers from milking dry their costumers and followers.
