@Voltan Just really odd that they wouldn't suppose those at a system level in the first place.

Hi all, not played anything for a while, I took a little break. I did manage to order a PS5 yesterday with some assistance from a friend so I'm excited for that. Should have it in a couple of weeks.

Does anyone have any recommendations for televisions to get that best support it? Cheers.

@LieutenantFatman Congrats on getting a PS5!

In regards to TV, what are you looking to spend?

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.

I'm interested in the TV thing too as I might be looking to upgrade towards the holiday season

@JohnnyShoulder
Thanks matey. I'm more focused on getting the right TV to be honest, I don't want to go budget and get one that cuts corners.

@LieutenantFatman I got an LG Nano85 49" to accompany my PS5 and don't regret it one bit. It does 4k/120hz and has HDR which is nice for a mid tier TV.

Drawbacks:
-Blacks aren't as deep as I'd like them to be, with it sometimes having that greyish look. Bothered me a lot more when I first got the tv but 8 months later I honestly don't think about it much.

-I play a lot of FPS games(Apex, Warzone, Battlefield, DOOM Eternal, etc.) so having low input lag is important to me and I'm pleased to report that it plays like a dream, when in "Game mode". The reason this is a "drawback" is that it's removes a lot of the post-processing that makes the image pop with color. So when playing Single Player games I have the TV in Vivid or Standard mode to retain that popping color, when playing multiplayer I switch over to Game mode.

Other than these things I love the TV, the only upgrade from this TV to me is an OLED. Which I'm unable to fork over $1500 for lol. Hope this helps friend.

Tagging you since you're looking for one too, @Voltan

@TraCuz- Fun fact: I don't get a notification if you tag me while editing the post
Thanks anyway! I'm currently thinking I might save for an OLED but they are mad expensive. Also, I never really cared about the 120 fps thing until the 40 fps update for Ratchet made me realise it also has that application (it's hard to tell if any other devs will be using it though).

I wasn't sure where to ask this - Would you recommend WRC 9 (with the PS5 upgrade) as a good purchase to enter the franchise, or to wait until 10? I've read the PushSquare review but never go off just one person's opinion!

Voltan

@Jimmer-jammer Oh I hate those “smoothing” effects too. I suppose they might be good for sports, which I never watch

@LieutenantFatman @Voltan Since there have been representation from the LG and Sony TV crowd, I’ll plug Samsung. The QLED TVs are good gaming TVs with reasonable price points. I’ve been very happy with the Q60. It has VRR but not 120 hz. The HDR is not as full as OLED and some of the other TV’s but I like it quite a lot. It should hold me over until 8K.

@Voltan AFAIK the whole indies thing doesn't really apply to the ''big'' indie games. Just the lesser well-known stuff, which also includes a bunch of shovelware.

@Octane Yes, I realize that. But I also think many people will not go into the finer details and a feature like this is designed to make PlayStation look friendly to smaller developers.
I’m cool with this btw

@Voltan Some games don’t appear on the store unless you search for them. The only game I’m aware of with a native PS5 version that doesn’t appear on the full list of PS5 games is Cross Code. It will only come up if you search for it manually.

@Octane mentioned lesser well-known stuff and whilst it’s definitely not AAA. This is something that was covered on Push Square, was part of game pass, I also know it’s excellent because I got the platinum on PS4.

If something that had never been covered or reviewed was missing I would probably never know.

Whilst it’s unreasonable to expect smaller games to be featured it does seem like everything should be on the full list of games.

@Ryall Sounds more like a bug than a deliberate thing TBH!

@Kidfried Was that supposed to be a “launch window” game? 😅
