So Spider-Man Remastered has started playing the opening logos for Sony and Marvel Etc. When I boot the game up, more than doubling the time to load up the game. Does anyone else have this problem or know how to fix it?
@JohnnyShoulder No, after the first time it stopped showing the opening logos and the cinematics where the symbols played, it loaded the game right up in less than 7 seconds. Now it takes over 14 seconds to load up playing the opening symbols and such.
@andreoni79 That hasn't happened at all for me, so far. The only PS4 disc I've been using in the PS5 is No Man's Sky, but the first time I put it in I grabbed the free PS5 upgrade, which installed, and it's never tried to install the PS4 version for me.
What I have noticed is that when I boot the console and put the disc in, the selected "game version" for NMS is usually the PS5 version, but occasionally it's the PS4 version. I've no idea why it does that, but if I didn't notice, perhaps it would be easy to accidentally set it installing the PS4 version.
@Th3solution Newegg is legit, purchased from them many times. Target dropped another load early this morning and Walmarts around the country seem to be getting units here and vthere but only for in store purchases. Unfortunately Walmart has also made it damn near impossible to get accurate stock checks online so only option is going in and having an employee scan the barcode to see it they have some. Pro tip, if you do go into one, be polite obviously but don't believe a word that comes out of their mouth. Have them scan the barcode and actually show you in the screen what the numbers are.
@Th3solution In the late 90s, I bought a bunch of PC components from them and a friend of mine helped me build a computer from the ground up. Unfortunately, I had a bunch of problems with it, and because I put it together myself, there wasn't really a warranty. That was the last time I ever tried anything like that, and I haven't shopped with them since.
Looks like Royal Mail is an absolute mess right now because of the online shopping demand. Hereās hoping this PS5 turns up this week otherwise itās panic time š
@nessisonett Thankfully I've got my last Christmas present this week. Mind you I've used Amazon for 90% of items that I bought and none of those have been that bulky. Normal post always slows around about now, that is gonna be even more so this year.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@Arugula No I havenāt. I donāt see the option on the app. Do I need to go into a store to sign up?
In fact, Iām discouraged by the fact that many retailer apps have taken the PS5 completely off their digital storefront. When you search āPS5ā all that comes up on many stores now is options for dual sense controllers amd PS5 games, etc. They donāt even show the consoles with a āsold outā label anymore. The chances of my getting one before the end of the year is getting less and less I think. But maybe huge Christmas drops will occur, weāll see.
āWe cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.ā
@Arugula Yeah, I asked them that question at my local GameStop a few weeks prior to launch, and was told no. But perhaps they have a different policy now since the unit is released.
With the amount of money Iāve siphoned through that company over the years youād think they would have some kind of customer loyalty. Weāll see.

So do we know where things stand with the external storage and rest mode bug yet?
My ssd is full and spidey couldn't patch, so i had to find something to delete. I could have done ff7r, it's huge, but i really want to get to that soon ish. Ultimately i deleted ffxiv.... Which I'm kind of regretting. I still have 2.5 weeks of my free month I'm throwing away, but i just couldn't get into the start of the game. All the back and forth "go back to the guild, then out, then back, at slow speeds...i keep hearing it has great story but the first part of the game is so intensely boring. Maybe i should have given it a third try.
But if i could use my old spinning hdd, that wouldn't have been an issue.......... I'm still to fearful to plug it in though.
@NEStalgia FFXIV starts out really slow but is totally worth a play to at least the end of the MSQ. I havenāt had time to sink into it recently so Iām not quite into Heavensward but Iād totally recommend going back. I sunk 80 hours in about 3 weeks of play. Which is rather sad.
Out of curiosity ā has anyone tried playing Control on their PS5 via backwards compatibility yet? Iām curious how it runs. Itās one of the games that Iāve held off on playing on PS4 due to reported issues with technical functionality. Just curious if the frame rate drops and loads are improved. I know a PS5 version is planned but the PS4 version is on a deep sale right now.

@nessisonett Ugh, someone WOULD have to tell me that..... How soon does it get better after that beginning... It's really... Really.... Slow? Dated? Feels like an EverQuest era mmo? Maybe my biggest problem is the ui is so mouse oriented.... The controller layout is... Usable. But it makes me play like a gaming noob fumbling with it constantly.
At the start. Deleting a game with a 1 month timed play month felt wrong, but without the external drive i need the space.
I guess I'll have to either connect the old hdd or download the 50gb again. And then delete either gow or hzd. Only to redownload them again later. If they fixed the rest issue itd be no issue, all this stuff is on the old ps4 drive.
Well, I'm officially sad today! Have packed up my ps5 to go back after multiple errors playing astrobot and spiderman remastered. Switching off Ray tracing definitely helped for spiderman but astrobot is buggy af, constant crashes in most areas where astro zips into into a suit, like the rocket. To make things worse, sold my ps4 to fund purchase. Will be in the hunt for a new one and heading back to the 360 days to play alan wake, portal 2, gtav4 ballad of gay tony and witcher 2. Hope to get new system early in the new year.
@Arugula sounds like the right move since you havenāt been enjoying it. Better it goes to someone who is and you can get one again in the future when there are more games you fancy. That said, I doubt youāll pay less for 1-2 years. Maybe a game bundled in or something.
I am really loving my PS5 though. Just playing games without all the f**king racket is so good.
