The only negative for me is that you can't revisit certain areas ... like Castle Dimitrescu after certain point. This is the onlt drawback for me as I want to backtrack even after finishing the "story" in an area. It is a shame.
I am about to experience Mass Effect for the first time but I want the physical edition to be all on the discs. Not one on a disc and the others as codes.
@get2sammyb Sorry for the little harsh comment! I tagged you 2 times with the same stuff I think. But no worries.
I know about that because I exchanged my One X 5 times because of it! And I just deal with it on my PS4 Pro (which has it on a minimal level).
I have read and read and then read about the coil whine as it is one of my most hates things in consoles!
Sony could definitely do this in future revision! Actually when the warranty expires anyone could put the same compound in their PSUs or give it to a professional to do it.
People need to understand that there is NO way for a coil to not vibrate when electricity passes through it. It is normal but there are cases where the coils are close to other parts (or more coils) and they could sound like the unit is broken!
As I posted before again and again. I have the answer of "It’ll be interesting to see just how common this problem is, and if we can learn a little more about when it occurs and why."
This is the PSU of the PS5. It has COILS. When you play intensive games the electricity that passes through them makes them VIBRATE and they touch nearby parts. That is what is making that sound. Some units do not have it because the coils do not touch anything.
The Xbox dealt with this problem by GROUNDING the vibrating parts with grey goo.
It would be nice to have some kind of feedback from you btw. Do you agree or not. Anything.
"Ensure that your console has got enough space to be properly ventilated. Sometimes a loud operational volume can be attributed to the console not having enough available air to cool itself properly, so if you've got it in a TV cabinet be sure to ensure there's enough space all around the console and that it's not running hot."
This has NOTHING to do with it. Running hot will NOT increase the coil whine.
You either deal with it or send it back to Sony and hope the replacement has coils that do not touch eachother.
They have shown that with their DRM-free practices on GOG and my favorite is the fact that they put the WHOLE Witcher 3 + the DLCs on ONE cartridge for the Switch!
If I am not mistaken this is the first 32GB cartridge to be released outside of Japan.

I want them to make a Sacred 2 remaster!
Re: God of War Ragnarok, Gran Turismo 7 PS4 Versions Confirmed
This is awesome as God of War and Miles Morales would have made me buy a PS5. Now I have more time to wait for the "better" model

Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Download Size Is Massive on PS5, PS4
@Pditty1980 Nice! Thank you!
Re: All Resident Evil Games Ranked and Best Places to Start
I would put Village above 4.
Village borrows all the great stuff from 4 and makes them even better!
As much as I like Leon I now prefer the one "... who put family before all else."
I want to see Leon more serious and evolved not cracking jokes after almost being killed
Re: Resident Evil's Story So Far, Summed Up in 30 Mind-Twisting Minutes
@KidBoruto True! Count on anyone BUT Konami to deliver some decent Castlevania experience

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Resident Evil Village?
Yes. It is awesome!
Re: Resident Evil's Story So Far, Summed Up in 30 Mind-Twisting Minutes
Castlevania and Resident Evil are my most favorite franchises.
At least one of them have a future
PS: Konami is s**t
Re: Resident Evil Village (PS5) - Capcom's Best Horror Game for 16 Years
I am 40 mins into the game on PS4 Pro and it looks gorgeous!
The console gets a little loud but this is a mid gen game after all!
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Download Size Is Massive on PS5, PS4
@logash then it is better to wait for some unboxing videos and impressions:)
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Download Size Is Massive on PS5, PS4
The whole games are on the disc(s) right?

Re: Resident Evil Village (PS5) - Capcom's Best Horror Game for 16 Years
My copy is coming ... I have the feel that this game will be defining for the series in the future!
Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for May and June 2021
I will wait patiently for my Resident Evil 8 copy ... I WANT IT NOW!
Re: All Resident Evil Games Ranked and Best Places to Start
Many will not agree but RE6 > RE5. I just disliked RE5 only Chris and Wesker kept me going to finish it. And ofc the DLC Lost in Nightmares.
The only thing that I liked in the African setting was the flowers that actually started the whole bio-terrorism in the series.
Everything else was just like in RE4 but bad
RE6 might be action game but the setting was awesome!
My personal favorites are RE2 Remake, RE7 and RE HD Remaster!
But I think that RE8 will change all of this!
Look at that creepy footage!

Re: Feature: What 25 Years of Resident Evil Means to Game Developers
LOVE Resident Evil! It is just that 5 and 6 were very disappointing with their 2 player at all times.
Village will be exceptional!

Re: Soapbox: Why Do You Replay Games?
Every now and then I replay ALL Castlevania (metroidvania) games. Why? Because they are the best games in the damn world!
Re: Mini Review: Hunting Simulator 2 (PS5) – An Unexpectedly Tranquil Excursion

Re: Cory Barlog Admits He Had 'No Idea' What He Was Doing When Directing God of War 2
The first time I played God of War 1 and 2 was on my PS Vita. Love both games but 2 is amazing!
Still 3 had the best boss battles
Re: Mortal Kombat's Movie Trailer Looks Like Dumb Fun
@HeathenFriar You are so "intelligent" that your only option is to guess.
Even Adam Sandler movies have more quality than your comments.
PS: You were right about credibility so I changed the word

@HeathenFriar The dumbest comment I have seen here in PushSquare.
Re: Feature: Could PlayStation Do More to Promote Green Packaging?
@McDosy Calm down Sparky
Re: Feature: Could PlayStation Do More to Promote Green Packaging?
@McDosy Yes I am fine with that.
PC is extremely physical UNfriendly and I only play PC exclusive games on that.
For the consoles I always go physical because I love collecting cartridges and to lesser extend discs.
Re: Feature: Could PlayStation Do More to Promote Green Packaging?
I am physical exclusive gamer except on PC.
The day everything goes digital is the day I will stop buying games and just pirate them.
If you want 100% pure future just embrace that idiotic cloud gaming without consoles just one PC or a modern TV.
Re: The Last of Us TV Show Casts The Mandalorian Star as Joel
@RPE83 Well Joel is in his range if you ask me
Hugh Jackman is probably better suited for the role.
But yes, his roles are oddly similar except for Law Abiding Citizen.
Re: The Last of Us TV Show Casts The Mandalorian Star as Joel
@RPE83 To each their own I guess.
Re: The Last of Us TV Show Casts The Mandalorian Star as Joel
It was either him or Gerard Butler/Hugh Jackman. All are great actors!

Re: PlayStation Studios and Other Teams Wish Happy Holidays with Digital Christmas Cards
@KidBoruto All carnage games. Think about Doom and Wolfenstein. I added the eye, heart and the skull with the fangs because I love Castlevania.

I posted this on Nlife but here is mine Christmas greeting card
Happy holidays guys!
And happy gaming!
Re: Reaction: How Does It Keep Going Wrong for Big Game Launches?
@Gaming365247 You are damn right.
The moment all consoles could be connected to the Internet to download updates is the moment the quality of the games start to do down.
Back then the developers test the games to make sure the products is at least playable.
Re: Talking Point: What Were Your Most Played PS4 Games?
Spider-Man and God of War.
Re: Poll: Have You Experienced PS5 Coil Whine?
@tehKAMI As you asked what and how to fix it.
Perhaps some kind of hot glue or hardening foam might dampen the vibrations.
Re: Talking Point: Was 2020 PlayStation's Best Ever Year?
2018 was 100% better than 2020.
How can I forget God of War and Spider-Man which for me are the greatest games from Sony in the last 23 years. (Castlevania SotN released in 1997 )
Re: The Last of Us 2 Sweeps The Golden Joysticks with Five Awards
@theheadofabroom "many people are butthurt that their toxic masculinity hero died."
Can you seriously say that with a straight face? Funny stuff man!
Re: The Last of Us 2 Sweeps The Golden Joysticks with Five Awards
@TG16_IS_BAE Do you know what is the funny part?
Most of those that spew "loud minority!" are part of loud minorities that are in search for some justice
And when they are told to shut up because they are just a loud minority the victim card is played and it is "super effective"!

Re: PS5 Coil Whine Could Be Caused by a Loose Sticky Label
@Sizuhjee I doubt that people are even seeing the image. Some still think that the coil whine comes from the fan ...
Re: PS5 Coil Whine Could Be Caused by a Loose Sticky Label
Apparently some people do notknow what is coil whine.
Re: New PS5 Owners: How to Fix Common Problems
About coil whine.
"Ensure that your console has got enough space to be properly ventilated. Sometimes a loud operational volume can be attributed to the console not having enough available air to cool itself properly, so if you've got it in a TV cabinet be sure to ensure there's enough space all around the console and that it's not running hot."

Re: PS5 Coil Whine Complaints Intensify as System Launches in Europe
Just in case people do not know where the coil whine comes from.
PS: Not an Xbox fanboy just a picture that shows why one has it and other does not.
Re: PS5 Scalpers Are Selling Systems for $1,500/£1,000 on eBay
Today I was surprised that I found a PS5 from a Scalper on my local auction site. Same price as above.
He also insists on personal meeting to sell the console.
I hope ends up with no console, no money and no teeth
Re: PS5 Coil Whine Complaints Intensify as System Launches in Europe
@PossibLeigh If it is a coil it will whine
The problem is that people do not want hear about those things. If one company can stop it why not the other?
The next revision will probably do that and stop the whining about coil whining.
Re: PS5 Coil Whine Complaints Intensify as System Launches in Europe
@get2sammyb @ShogunRok @nessisonett
This is why the PS5 have coil whine.
It can be avoided but they preferred not to "ground" the vibrating parts.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Physical Edition Comes with Two Blu-ray Discs on PS4
CDPR should be admired!
They care so much for game preservation.
They have shown that with their DRM-free practices on GOG and my favorite is the fact that they put the WHOLE Witcher 3 + the DLCs on ONE cartridge for the Switch!
If I am not mistaken this is the first 32GB cartridge to be released outside of Japan.
