Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@Kidfried i'm so sorry.

@Kidfried Aw man, I'm sorry to hear that, that's very sad.

@Kidfried Sorry to hear that

@Kidfried Sorry to hear about your loss.

@Kidfried So sorry, my friend. What an awful turn of events. My heart goes out to you.

The tweet says “Are you wearing headphones? let’s go” and the video is something like “get comfortable, it’s about to begin”.
Any wild theories?
It’s only on PS Italy’s Twitter, so it could as well be something local.

@RogerRoger Oh, they deleted it? It was up for at least a few hours (and also on their instagram). Interesting.

If it's Vib Ribbon 2 I swear to God I'm gonna flip my table over. I love Vib Ribbon.

So I've run into a very weird PS5 issue.

So I have HDR set to always on in my system settings. Got 120HZ Support turned off.

I cant adjust the HDR because it tells me its set to off (Its not) and if I boot Ratchet and Clank it tells me to turn it on via system settings (Its turned on according to the system).

What's weird is clearly it IS turned on, because booting Doom Eternal has my TV pop up saying HDR is now in use. So the PS5 is clearly saying HDR is on and using it, but it also thinks it isnt?

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut for PS5 and PS4 coming August 20th

Lmao they really expect me to fork over 30 dollars just so I can have my Japanese audio lip synced

Yeah no thanks. Especially given I think HST tax rate here in Canada just got increased from 13% to 15% I'd be way more content with actually trying to save money. Playing GoT on my PS5 as is will be more than enough

@TheFrenchiestFry I guess I’ll be waiting longer than I thought to play it then. The regional pricing differences really are silly as well.

I wish it was a standalone thing, so I could get it physical on PS5. But I don't mind waiting for a steep price drop in that case. €80 for just another island is a bit much.

They do need to fix the pricing though. €60 for the PS4 game and €80 for the PS5 version just doesn't make any sense.

Yeah, disappointed it’s not one of those ‘expandalone’… erm thingies.

@colonelkilgore ‘Expandalone’ sounds like shapewear for wine mums.

@colonelkilgore I kinda forgot it was rumored to be that.

@colonelkilgore Did you just make up a term? I like it.
Yeah, I’d have preferred the expandalone approach like Miles Morales, Lost Legacy, First Light. Instead it’s more Frozen Wilds sounding.
Alas, I’ll wait for reviews before committing to $30 to upgrade and get the extra island. All in all if it’s content rich as the previous expandalone sequels, then it’s a great deal at $30 for the content and the base game in native PS5 glory. Japanese lip-syncing and all.

@Th3solution no, sadly I can't claim it, someone mentioned the term expandalone in another thread... I do like the expression though 😁.

Yeah I'll probably get the directors cut too... from what I've played of GoT so far (around 9 - 10 hours in) I think I'd quite happily play through the game again in a year or two (probably two).

I kinda expected to play as Yuna, as she fled to the mainland (and Ikishima is a logical stop). Anyway, definitely expect a bunch of pirate action, the south-western region of Japan is known for its pirates during that time. Could be interesting, but yeah, a little disappointed it isn't a standalone.

Also wonder what's the point of State of Play anymore. Stuff gets announced left and right, and State of Play occurs once in a blue moon and features only one or two games.
