@tomassi AC Syndicate has severe flickering textures issues on PS5, to the degree that the game is almost unplayable because looking at it will make your eyes burn. This is the same bug that used to plague the game running on a PS4 Pro, but they made a patch for it. I believe that making 'the same' patch for PS5 is a no-brainer, but Ubi doesn't care about this game for some reason. They even removed it from the Store on PS5.
Last time I played it, I had to play it on PS4, even though I already had a PS5.

AC Unity is fully playable and has no issues on PS5.

This game might be a good way for many people to feel what Ukrainian people are experiencing these days.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate needs a patch to just run properly on the PS5 at all. I had to buy it on Xbox - it has no issues running on the Series X. It is still unplayable on PS5, sadly. But seems that Ubisoft just doesn't care.

@The_Moose @PenguinL isn't Back 4 Blood basically a Left 4 Dead 3?

Does the game have single player campaign?

Sony just needed to hire RPCS3 core developer team and investing millions of bucks and spending several years on the project would not be needed.

Will PS Now expand to new regions?

@LtSarge I believe many gamers will happily pay just 3 more bucks to get access to a catalog of old games. But the Extra tier costs too much already…

A good month for me because of Sonic.

I've skipped the first PSVR, but will buy PSVR2, this will be my first ever VR to try. Although, I hope for it to be backwards compatible with existing games.

Playing Steins Gate: Linear Bounded Phenogram and Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty.

Thanks for warning, will buy it on Xbox then.

Still waiting for Syndicate patch for PS5...

From what I see, PS+ is trending to be less and less attractive, while GamePass to be more and more.
Nevertheless, at least one useful function of PS+ remains: syncing saves with the cloud, which gives the ability to easily jump playing from one of your PS's to another.

Okay, I've just checked throwing an audio CD and an audio CD-R into the PS5 and XSX.
Xbox launched a "Groove" application which started playing music from both my CD and CD-R (it even downloaded some covers to display while playing).
PS5 continued to spin the disc indefinitely (after waiting for about 1 minute, I ejected the disc), that was true for both the CD-R and pressed CD.
That means, we can make a conclusion that the PS5 does not read CD (but it's unknown if it's a software or hardware limitation), while the Xbox Series X can, at least, play audio CDs.
Both consoles have Ultra-HD Blu-Ray drives.

Even cheapest BD-ROM PC drives can read CDs. I just don't believe that Sony purposely scrapped this functionality on hardware level.

@TheRedComet but it's most probably a software issue, which could be fixed in a firmware update. All of my BluRay players/recorders work perfectly fine with CD and CD-R media.

And yet again Sony doesn't care about backwards compatibility... it's pathetic.

I finished Syndicate on my base PS4. This and Shadow Of The Colossus (which has blurred textures on PS5) were the last games before I moved the PS4 to my old room at my parent's home.

Hopefully there won't be any more games that won't run properly on PS5. Although, DOOM (2016) and SOMA have flickering textures in a few places (not annoying really) on PS5.

I dream of just one more PS Vita sale. There won't be.
But I still want a discount for Tales of Hearts R.

@Futureshark I doubt that it would fit into the PS5. The heatsink of that SSD is too thick.

Far Cry 2 is better for me than Far Cry 1. I haven't played any others.

I only dream of Tales of Hearts R being discounted again, just one more time.

Is there a reason to trust any rumours about Konami and Silent Hill?

@kyleforrester87 Sony says that Axiom Verge 2 is playable on PS5. Have you tried it?

@johncalmc Because having installed 40 games ready to play on the console is better than 5 — you can scroll through them left and right, and vice versa... and choose... what do I want to play today, right now?.. This? Or maybe this? No, this one!

In reality, however, for some users, like you or myself, this won't be needed at all. I prefer playing one, in some rare cases two games, at a time. If I'm playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate these days, I will be playing it until I finish it. I don't WANT to play another game. I want to fully immerse myself into the Victorian era of the game.

But there are many players who indeed play not even several, but MANY games at once. I know gamers who play 6 to 10 various games per day. Those gamers will play probably the same games next day, but it's again 6 to 10 games per day!
They need much storage on the console to live like that. 😅

Why to refit the slot cover after installing the SSD? I believe the cooling would be better without covering the slot. With the cover, hot air will be accumulating very fast...

@Dezzy70 I don't see PS5 as something totally different from a computer. You can't just plug-and-play an M.2 SSD into a PC - you have to remove the side plate (or whatever) of your computer case, take a screwdriver, locate that M.2 slot and very, very carefully (!) insert the SSD into it and tighten it with the screwdriver. Not very user friendly, but if that stopped you from doing it, you'd probably called a specialist to help. I don't see why it has to be any different with the PS5. The console is a technological piece of hardware and should be taken with care and only if you know what you're doing.

Looking forward to trying that tennis game... I like tennis. As for the other two... I don't care.
It's a weak month this time.

Too much hype. This is an extremely bad (if not devastating) marketing - people will curse them forever - if it's not the new Silent Hill.

I don't trust Sony anymore after they abandoned Vita. Steam Deck is what I would buy now. I had thought about getting the new OLED Switch before Valve announced its portable Steam machine, which leaves the Switch look awfully pity by specs.

@Blacksmith1985 I'm too. Hello from Dnipro. I have always been wondering how many Ukrainians do visit PushSquare regularly...

Can the music or "level" be changed when playing local multiplayer matches? I played the beta-test and could not find out how to change that... it's a bit annoying that you have to listen to the same tune for each play.

@get2sammyb The first link, i.e.
1. Death Stranding: Director's Cut - redirects to Ghost of Tsushima DC.

Disc version looks a lot uglier, IMHO. As if designers just didn't know where to put the disc drive in the encasement. Hey, I'm by no means a fanboy but speaking of the design vs disc drive the XSX is a good example of how to get it all right. Such replacement would disappoint people who deliberately wanted the disc-less version, and I believe design was one of the main points for those people.
But yes - this is a first world problem.

@JohnnyShoulder The soundtrack to this trailer is by the late 80s russian pop group "Mirage"

There won't be much food available in post-apocalyptic times, especially if there is a war against the machines/aliens/whatever!.. Most women won't have chubby faces like Aloy is displayed here. It's unrealistic, IMHO.

Those chubby cheeks...

Nothing interesting for me, will skip renewing PS+ subscription for another month...

I am massively disappointed that this game doesn't have a normal save system. That it's a roguelike is not an excuse in this case. Will not buy the game until this issue is resolved by devs.

@Boucho11 Yes, absolutely. I have the physical box of the Trilogy for Vita and played through them all. One of the AA titles on the system, I'd say. Graphics is very good and gameplay is too, despite being a linear 2D action/stealth platformer. China is the best of the three, India is rather good, Russia is on the weak side, but in general the collection is a must have for AC fans.

Why no mention of RE: Revelations 1&2... I mean - at all?.. Just why?

Alex Kidd in Miracle World (SMS) was one of my earliest games... I did not have a SMS but I went to my neighbor and we played hell out of that game!
I remember those non-killable monks!

The voiceover is terrible. They'd better replace the sound artist.

Looks like a mix of DOOM 3, Dead Space, Alien and Mass Effect with an emphasis on DOOM 3. Pretty nice.

If Sony doesn't provide an emulator (and I would happily pay for it!), then I will jailbreak my Vita and install RetroArch. Sad but it's a simple solution. If Sony doesn't want to provide a way to legally buy games for legacy systems, then I don't care about legality of such actions because Sony will make me do this.

Is there a way to re-download a purchased game on the Vita without going to the PS Vita Store, searching for that game and clicking on the Download button on the game's page? I'm afraid that if they shut down the Store, we won't be able to re-download any games at all.
Will we also lose access to PS+ games on the Vita? The console checks periodically when you try to launch a game that the game is still eligible for download (your PS+ subscription has not expired). I'm wondering, what will be with these games?..

Originally this game was called The Light.
It's rather good, albeit a little short, walking simulator with light horror elements.

Good that it made its way on the PlayStation.

We. Want. Gravity Rush 3.
