@Total_Weirdo god I forgot all about that Viz game.

Jesus. I think I’ll just wait...

I will happily take that thank you

Not gonna lie, I will happily murder everything in that game. Sorry to the folks above.

@Olmaz it does seem really random. As i said above, after setting the console to keep the USB's powered in rest mode ive had zero rebuilds unless someone powers the console fully down without disconnecting the drive. My headset connects without issue every time (so far) as well. I keep mine in the front USB port. If thats any different than yourself it may be worth a shot.

Not to take away from your issues in any way. I might just be lucky

Day one without a doubt

@Rob_230 this is why i have an account stating i live in the USofA.

I just checked and i have been given an accolade. I cant see who it was from and as none of my pals have a PS5 yet, i probably wont ever know.

@Matroska it was purley by chance i picked up on it. Hopefully that helps you out a bit.

@get2sammyb touche good sir. I saw the feature update on the site banner and went no further haha.

@Matroska on the rest mode side of things, make sure your usb's are powered when its resting. Ive been using an external hdd and rest mode/suspend game for an age without issue. The only time i have to rebuild the drive is when my kids turn the console completely off (shakes fist) as the drive disconnects incorrectly.

Not taking away from your experience but worth checking as it fixed it for me 👍

I believe theres an update for the controller as well.

@get2sammyb just start the download and as soon as it moves past 'calculating' cancel it. Pain in to have to do it but better than nothing

Im completely fine with games being pushed later in a development cycle. I just wished they'd hold fir announcing them now. I miss the days of reading about a game and then discovering it was out a month later.

Im old...

Just remake here comes the pain. None of this slowed down, simulation tat. Just a straight up arcade slapfest. I want to be climbing the scenery on the stage and dropping legdrops from the top. Hardcore 30 minute falls count anywere matches were you lost because you thought you could land an elbow from a helicopter even though you knew it would ruin you. A game that physically demands you have a multitap so you can all quietly agree to shoe that one mate in the second that bells goes.

Thats all i ask.

No, Jim..... No. hits on nose with rolled up newspaper

@LTPenguin I bought a series S with gamepass for one of my kids and I use it to play through anything i want. Zero regrets. Absolutely brilliant little machine and gamepass lets me play anything i cant on my ps5.

Without the 360 doing what it did you probably wouldnt have the focused drive that brought so many late gen ps3 classics.

Without ps plus giving away games there wouldnt have been games with gold.

Without the ps4 doing so well there probably wouldnt have been the shift from microsoft to really push gamepass into what it now is.

My point being that no matter how we perceive a company's actions, or lack of in this case, it all works in our favour as gamers in the end. There will be a reaction from Sony to Microsofts push (eventually, at least) and it will end up in more value on the table for us folks. Console wars are dumb but competition is neccesary.

Decent little game this, glad its getting a wider audience

My TV doesnt support 120hz and, to be frank, i have zero interest in forking out for one that does.

@curriemonster zombie army 4 is a great little game. Especially if you have folks to co op with.

Absolutely shocking behaviour. Its all got a whiff of the PS3 gen arrogance with Sony of late. A bit of the 'well, they are buying it anyway' vibes.

@Juanalf Fair play then. Definitely agree sackboy is excellent. Also agree Destruction Allstars is not.

@Juanalf the sole reason you bought a console at launch was for a game that was announced at 70 dollars (well before the launch) but you then refused to buy that game because it was 70 dollars?

Im happy to wait for a price drop on most of these, although Village could tempt me and i kinda feel i should give them my cash for not whacking the price up to 69.99 for the base PS5 version.

Im keen for this one so hopefully it turns out to be good.

Yeah i will stick with the version i have that i sunk a load of cash into if its all the same.

I need to get the left stick fixed on my vita so i can play all the games im about to purchase on it.

I received an email offering a £15 credit if I sign up to 12 months of PS Now.

Their description as to why it wont be classified only serves to intrigue me more

Just take my money. Its as simple as that.

@PhhhCough calls folks passive aggressive then proceeds to be passive aggressive in the rest of his comment 🤔

@Shigurui I completely forgot about that!

I would love Bluepoint to give the first two games a polish in the same way as the uncharted trilogy. 3 already had a re-release but the first 2, man, would be a day 1 for me.

@Futureshark good lord could you imagine

@get2sammyb they definitely need to do more to keep the momentum going. In the build up to the console release the scrabble for information reached fever pitch and, in turn, benefitted them as it basically advertised itself due to that. Dripping a picture of the controller literally made sites go wild with articles and comments.

Its starting to feel like Sony assumes that will carry forward to everything but, for me at least, its starting to turn into frustration at the lack of, well, anything. Like you say, there's a major title due out very soon and yet theres nothing but silence. Its (arguably) the first major next gen only release since demon souls. You kinda think theyd make a bigger deal of it really.

Suppose all we can do is wait and see. Which, in turn, takes me back to that word again. Frustration.

As much as people will grumble about Bethesda going to Microsoft, the points raised in this article are exactly why its good for everybody. Moves like this from competitors prevent Sony from resting on its laurels and forces their hand into new investments, strategies, offers, etc... that simply wouldn't have come along if they are allowed to sit atop the pile unchallenged.

If you own both consoles then theres some great things on the horizon. Even if you dont, competition only leads to better things in the long run from both sides.

Ive said it a few times on various sites but the kraken compression could genuinely be a reason they went with a smaller drive to bring the cost down. Control was another one that was pretty much half the size of the xbox install as well.

I would imagine anything past a certain point in development will still show up on PS5 as they may as well cash in on it while its already there. After that i imagine releases will be scant.

This looks almost as awful as the sound a like voice actors

How do we make the end game last longer?

Triple the grind?

Promote this person!

🤦‍♂️

@awp69 for the icons of deleted games just start them downloading again and once they start moving, cancel it.

Massive pain in the rear but it gets rid of those stupid left over icons.

I only got into this late on and stopped playing pretty early on once rumblings of a PS5 upgrade started. Now im in some grim limbo of deciding whether to just crack on or wait a bit longer 😕

@Mad001 the liqour smurf himself.

Its probably just a head hunt for the twitter guy they have.

@Exlee300p well arent we a stroppy little man. If youd bother to read all my other posts youd see that i said Housmarque are a great developer, that ive bought all the other games theyve released and that it may just be the fact that its a procedurally generated roguelike thats creating the wrong impression. I also said its not the game thats the issue, its just always going to carry the weight of being the first £70 release so will be reviewed and measured against that rather then the quality of the game alone.

Also, im lucky enough to not be bothered by paying 70 quid for a game if i choose. Others are not, especially at a point when theres massive joblosses and familys are struggling. You should probably consider these things when trying to paint everyone with the 'people are cheap' brush.

@Culjoseth I do have my fingers crossed for them. I get a hunch that the quality of the game will be compared to the cost in a lot of reviews as its pretty much the first to launch at the 70 mark.

You have me beat there, atari 2600 with the wooden trim was mine. Simpler times eh. 😂

@NEStalgia yeah for ps4 games the ssd doesnt really offer much over the mechanical speed wise, or that ive noticed anyway. Much more noticable on the xbox but i think its fair to say that microsoft offers better back compat features full stop.

You still get all the extras offered by patches (60fps, resolution boosts, etc...) so i couldnt see much point in using up my internals space with them. Just change your power settings and set it so it'll download any ps4 games straight to the external to save faffing with transfers and you are off.

@Culjoseth im old enough to remember when games came on cassette tapes unfortunately haha.

I dont have much issue with games going up, like say, it was inevitable. Just feels like if say GTA 6 or something of similair AAA stature was being shipped at £70 it would make more sense than something that has more of a AA look (in my opinion). 59.99 would be a steady price for returnal based on what ive seen. If im wrong and its worth every penny i will happily hold my hands up, just cant shake the feeling though.

@NEStalgia im using the same 2tb WD mechanical drive i used on my pro (just to save downloading everything on a new one, easier to just plug it over). I always had the pro stay on for a few hours to charge pads and then knock off. It just acts like youve pulled the connection on PS5 though. So far its been all good since i just left them on.
