Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@Grumblevolcano I’ve seen “July 8” come up a few times but obviously nothing official and not even a lot to support that date.

@Kidfried I’ll be a bit miffed if they now announce a Ghost upgrade seeing as I’m currently playing it. It already looks and runs fantastic as it is!

@Kidfried

Had one before and sold it, but I bought another PS5 on Thursday from Sony and got it yesterday. Left it on overnight to download several updates to games I installed, but woke up this morning to find that all 3 updates were paused because it wanted me to insert the play discs for them. It downloaded everything but 1 MB for Ratchet & Clank and Immortals: Fenyx Rising, so obviously those instantly installed after the discs were put in, but unfortunately it didn't download anything for Mass Effect until I put the disc in. Is that something new that Sony added in a firmware update? I don't recall discs having to be inserted being a requirement before with installing updates, as I had installed updates in the past with no issues.

@KilloWertz First time I'm hearing about this tbh. I'm installing updates for games I have on discs (and the discs are not inserted) all the time.

@Voltan I figured since I didn't have to do that at all when I had a PS5 the first time. During initial setup, I did set it to whatever the power option was in the middle (we'll call it Power Saver for now) instead of the default one on the left. Not sure if that had anything to do with it, but looking in the settings, I did have it still installing updates automatically, so I don't know.

Maybe it's just one of the games that messed it up somehow? Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart or Mass Effect Legendary Edition. I'm ruling out Immortals: Fenyx Rising since this is the first time I've ever had to do it with that (there's been several updates for that I've installed before).

@Kidfried You're gonna make the dog pay for it, right?

@Kidfried Oh noooo, I’m so sorry to hear that, there’s nothing worse than losing a pet.

@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.
