@BlaizeV Get a Ps5 Pro in the future and hope it's more silent!

@Professor_Niggle Ah ok, I never got that. Sorry.

@Professor_Niggle Imagine reading a discussion online with people exchanging thoughts and immediately class that as "fan fic". You must be fun at parties....

@CaptD Yeah, I can buy that reasoning too.

The firstparty architect that together with Jim Ryan put us in this "no firstpartystudiogames in sight"-state.
Maybe why she had to go?!

@Barry_vV My PS5 just downloaded patch somethingsomething .002
2nd patch before release so I hope for as little bugs as possible on releaseday.

@MomsSpaghetti @Kraven I'm totally with you guys. I think this will be a really great game! I'm just curious about the difficulty on each difficulty level. Guess I start on hardest mode and see how it goes.

@Northern_munkey
I think stealing info/tech is wrong whoever does it to whomever!
So, yes, in that sense I do care.
If you ever made something yourself you would understand what that means to the "original maker".

@Northern_munkey "Who cares really?"
I guess Sony cares as they spent millions of dollars on research and development. All that so a braindead person leaks it for 15 minutes of fame. And now M$, Apple and so on can copy that without doing all the estimates by themselves.
That's a pretty big deal and it's not good for anyone.
Edit: Imagine if that was your company, and you spent all that money just so some lowlife would steal the info and leak it right under your nose. Would you just say, "Who cares really?" if it was your millions used to gain that technology in the first place!? I don't think so!!

Yesterday when I turned on my PS5 my pre-ordered RotR Deluxe edition pre-downloaded to my PS5.
Annoying as hell seeing the gameicon and can't start it until late next week!! The torture!! LOL!!

@BlaizeV Fair enough. If it's like the O.G PS5, you can remove the sidepanel and check if they have something that interfer with the fanblades, no need for screwdrivers or so.
My PS5 was of that batch were a sticker was on the cable to the fan and it got caught in the fan and made hell of a sound LOL. I just removed it and the PS5 have been silent since then.
I learned it through a Youtubevideo so you could search on "PS5 fan noise" on YT. Hopefully you find some easy fix for it.

@BlaizeV Sorry for asking but you are trolling right? "ps4 pro, the controller is nicer, the console is quiter "
Damn, my PS4 and PS4 Pro is like two jetplanes compared to the ultrasilent PS5 !??
If you can even hear it you should pretty much ask for a replacement to be honest. Unless you got the new model and Sony F'd up on that one, if so, I have no experience of that model at all.

Day one for me! Enough trailers, release the game already

Diablo 4 dead.
Xbox dead.
Hmm, M$ seem to be on a (negative) roll...
Not surprising as they have been curvstomped by Playstation and Nintendo for at least 2 console generations and when next Playstation and Switch are released it would be a true bloodbath imho.
Just as it was already stated above in the comments: "If you can't beat em - join them".

Good for the company I guess but no interest to me as they are a M$studio now. Just as bad in my book.

Day one. This is THE game I'm looking forward to in 2024!

@Nekomichu I'm in the same seat. I have Alan Wake Remastered in my backlog, bought it on this summersale, but I have other games to play through first, Elden Ring at the moment.
But I will certainly buy Alan Wake II. The question is, do I get to it before or after Rise Of The Ronin in March next year.
Edit: Speaking about Rise Of The Ronin - preorders up now on PS Store if anyone is interested.

So the rumoured new Dualsense V2 is for the Pro then? Makes sense if it is so. I would buy a Pro to get even better PSVR2 games, otherwise it's 50/50 at the moment.

@giacrent I think they should up that to 50 Mbit but as the Portal doesn't support 4K it might be a little overkill in the end. But thanks for the info

@nomither6 For me it's 50/50 if my PS5 have updated from restmode or not. I prefer to do it manually though so it doesn't interfer with my gaming.

@giacrent My upload went from 12Mbit to 30.8 Mbit out of 1000Mbit (1 Gb fiberconnection). Not uncapped here, but slightly improved.
What is your current uncapped speed if I may ask?

@nomither6 Have you checked that you are still connected to internet in restmode?

*Settings > System > Power Saving and Settings > System > Features Available in Rest Mode

@Ypmud Seems like you made up your own idea what I meant. I take for granted everyone has a lan cable from ISP outlet into the router to begin with.
But if you have an older router that wifi might not be good enough as the PS Portal is made for Wifi 6.
And yes, concrete wall could certainly be a negative factor, BUT my Asus gamingrouter is great through our supporting concrete walls in our house, walls our old Wifi 5 router couldn't handle at all.
If you game alot, a great router is important imho, whatever you game connected with lancable or through wifi. When I changed router about 3 years ago to support my PS5 I went from an average ping of 8-12ms to 2-4.
Well worth the money I think. ✌️🤗
(My PS5/PS4 Pro is connected through cable so my remote play on my vita is topnotch)
Hopefully PS Portal will be just as good when it releases here 🦾

@Ypmud How do you connect a lancable to a portable like PS Portal? Sigh....💀🤷

@Axelay71 My usual advice to anyone who's gaming is that you should never ever use a stock router from your ISP. They are 99% not made for low latency gaming. You might consider wishing yourself a good Wifi 6 router in christmas present.
Anyway, check your router for a model number and google it if it has Wifi 6 or not (probably not) and that is pretty much a must for lagfree Portal playing according to most YT's I seen who have tried it out.
I get mine next week hopefully (not released here yet) and I have a Asus Wifi 6 gamingrouter so I can check it out for myself.
Another factor can be, as for everything using wifi like laptops/phones/ipads and so on. Too many devices that uses Wifi in the same time can drastically impact your remoteplaygaming. Make sure you don't have too many devices running in the background and that your Playstation is not downloading any patch, firmware or game while you are remotely connected.

@Fiendish-Beaver
While I 100% agree with all you wrote, "Hopefully someone like Sony or Microsoft will pick them up, as it's better that they survive, no matter who gets them..." is not that easy in reality. When people working there start to sense where it's going (downwards), they usually get new jobs so if let say Sony would buy them up, most of their real talent has already left and that makes it near impossible to make it worth the money it cost to buy them up.
Embracer killed all these studios because they were chasing "easy money" and failed. That's the sad truth here.

@Axelay71 Do you use Wifi 6 on your home network (router)?

@kyleforrester87 /pat you on your back
Here, have a christmascookie. You earned it!

@anon_pel222 That problem is already solved, if you still have problem accessing your games, try "restore licenses" on your PS4 /PS5....

I guess this is a "optimize PS Portal" patch.

Is "spoiler-leaks" actually newsworthy? I don't think so personally.
It's just a way to undermine the actual event, in this case Game Awards...

Same PR crap as CP2077. Never again CD Projekt Red.

@Pranwell This is the reason I haven't bought the game yet. I wait for the "final" version. I have a huge backlog so I'm not ashamed to admit I wait this one out.

@MattBoothDev Yes, you are cynical. What you should think is: Why does other MEGA rich companies don't do this. Many companies just send all extra cash to shareholders and owners who like to bank the money.

@RobN Great minds think alike or whatever the saying is, same idea- posted at the same time.

I bought Indiana Jones-table a few days ago on the Black Friday sale PS Store had. I gave up when I booted up the game and it hadn't started after 1 minute... Elden Ring takes 28 sec on my PS5 to load the "entire" world.
They seriously need to optimize the launcher for Pinball Fx to be honest...
If I want a "quickplay" session I want it to be "quick"!

@ear_wig Sony (Playstation) will collect data from the Portal users and obviously it will improve. I'm sure they will patch this to make it even more optimized.
It was the same with the Vita I bought. Minor lag at release but now I never have lag when streaming from my Pro!

Need option: No, not released in my country yet.
;P

No thanks, want nothing to do with lying Phil and his fans to be honest.

This is for movies and TV, not games? Most likely for some Sony (not Playstation) service like Netflix?

@gaston Actually he did.

I have alot of fun with my PSVR2, I just can't understand why Sony doesn't support it more themselves now when so many great games are available for it.
I remember Jim (goodbye) Ryan said all PS5 games will support both regular TV and PSVR2, what a lie that was!! Only GT7 does that so far. I'm just curious that no "gamingmedia" pointed that out waaay back!

Day 1 for me. The first one was really rough on PSVR1 but I played the crap out of it. Been looking forward for AS2 since I first heard about it years ago. And the Deluxe Edition costs just a tiny more than the basegame on pre-order (if you have PS Plus) so I bought the D:E.
This is going to be so much fun!

First you make a better product - then you raise the price, not the other way around Sony. This is BS x 1000.

Well deserved, it's an awesome game.

@Triumph741 "Just imagine how good this game would look if it was made for the PS6. Missed opportunity."

Or imagine how great Spiderman 3 will look on the PS6. Insomniac said they wanted to do a trilogy just after first released and as good as they sell I'm sure we get the entire trilogy plus "spinoffs" like Miles Morales, maybe a Venom one.
I'm sure you get great Insomniac games on PS6 too, don't worry.
If you want to "worry", ask yourself what does the other PS studios bring to the table at the moment...

If they can't calculate basic math no wonder resistances, bonus XP and everything else is not working as intended in Diablo 4.

@BrintaPap At least trophies earned without addons and cheats on PC is a great start!

@CutchuSlow I know, I play Lords Of The Fallen (2023) right now. It's NOT that PS5 don't have great games, it's all about Sony doesn't support their own platform with 1st party games because PC and Hardware is their 1st prio and I hate that tbh. I bought every Playstation console for their GAMES, not every single revision and crap they try to show down our throats.

It's ages ago since most of their 20ish studios released a game apart from Insomniac who singlehanded carry Sony so far this generation and to some degree Guerrilla Games with Horizon games and Sonys only real firstparty PSVR2 title to this date...
(Yeah I know GT7 have a great PSVR2 patch too)
So what's up for next year from Sony ? Gaasgames and maybe a Pro, and I just know PC,PC,PC versions of Playstationgames.
But what about us that support(ed) them for the great thirdperson singleplayergames?? Are we not important for Sony anymore?!
They say we are but were are the games in that case?!

I hate to think that people that pirate games and use addons and hacks will be able to beat the games and get the rare platinums without playing the games proper will skewer the trophylist and so on... Personally I really really hate the fact that console Sony with great games became greedy PC elitist company. Just my personal take on this.
I bought a PS5 day one, I bought PSVR 2 day one. Sony's news the last 3 years are PS5 (with a few release games)PC,PC,PC,PC,LIVESERVICEGAMES,PC,PC,PSVR2,PC,PC,LIVESERVICEGAMES,PC and more PC...
A shame Jim Ryan got to stay for so long and ruin the Playstation we all grow up with and loved
Edit: Forgot PC, DUALSENSE EDGE, PC, PC, PORTAL, PC, PS5 SLIM, PS5 EARBUDS, PC,PC.

Were are the f***ing PS5 games Sony??!! And yes, I preordered and preloaded Spiderman 2! But will I have to wait 3 more years for next Singleplayer game??!!!!
