@Cambrius Really interested in Mass Effect - can I play it on my PS5 if I buy it?

I thought the PC adapter was for PC to use PSVR? Do PS5 users need one as well? I’ve never used steam either so I just buy off steam then the game is in my PS5 catalogue? Apologies - I’ve no idea!

*edit - Ok now I’m really confused as I’ve just done some googling. I need a PC as well? I just thought PSVR 2 could now access PC games??

The tech is good and I really want one but it’s still kinda pricey for me. Watching the PSVR 2 space from the outside it looks like there aren’t many games and I hope that will improve over time. With my PS4/PS5 I have almost too many games to play but with PSVR2 I’d be happy with enough immersive games to tidy me over until the next ones come along. I’m sure I’ll get one when the price comes down a bit.. I just hope it’s not dead in the water by the time that happens.

@Enigk thanks for this! I’ve added it now

Did anyone see the mode where people in front of you can see your eyes through the headset? That looked weird and a bit scary!

I’m part of the presumably huge group of people waiting to see how it goes. I want to buy it, I want it be successful, and I think it will. The added bonus of waiting is that there might be a price drop. But I loved the PSVR and when done well VR is an experience like no other. I’ve had friends come round that I literally couldn’t get off Beat Sabre! I just can’t see Sony putting this much money into such a fantastic technical device and then letting it die. Fingers crossed from me 🤞

Ellie “Swear to me that everything you’ve told me about the fireflies is true”

Joel “I swear”

Ellie “OK”

For so many reasons, opinions, and peoples thoughts on moral values that this represented - what an epic moment in gaming 👏

@naruball is there a list of these upgrades somewhere? I’d probably pay a small fee rather than my games go to waste!

Ahh I really want a PSVR 2 but so far I’m not seeing justification to spend £530. I’m not saying it is or isn’t value for money. It’s just still £530! It’s also really disappointing it’s not backwards compatible. I get that it’s for new PSVR experiences but can’t they just patch games to be playable? I’m not even expecting better graphics or anything I just feel like my PSVR and the tons of games I’ve got for it will just rot away unfortunately.

Have you not seen the talk going round? It’s missing a TON of stuff. Including Hardcore mode @Northern_munkey. E.g. barracks, challenges etc. Also the gun unlock system is a joke. I have to level up 2 guns to certain levels to get the gun I’m currently after and if i don’t like that gun I’ll have to start pretty much all over again on another path for a different gun. Who’s idea was that?

Holy…. Wow. I saw £400 coming maybe but not this. As much as I want it I want to see a fair few unmissable games for this price point. Even then… how much?!! Now if it it didn’t have a wire…….

If it hadn’t been remastered for PS4 then this is a totally different story. But it has and the only people that benefit here I think are brand new players (are there any??) or die hard fans. As for the price point… jeez that’s borderline offensive. ND should concentrate on a new IP. not even a remastered TLO2. You blew me away with Unchartered and TLOU series so it’s a waste of unbelievable talent to be rehashing existing games.

Had to buy it seeing as it’s £20 for the PS5 version. I’ve been crazy patient so I’m looking forward to jumping into Night City!

I’ve just googled can you turn off the subtitles (kind of immersion breaking) and someone’s replied saying that you can but then you can’t understand anyone that talks in a foreign language as it’s only translated in subtitles. Really?

Uncharted 2 blew me away at the time and it’s just as good now. 4 is great too but it’s definitely 2 for me that comes out on top

This reminds me of Apple launching new iPhone colours - they are OK but never quite what you want…

@LiamCroft fair enough. As I said I’ve been out of the Battlefield loop for ages. Plus my mates are mainly COD players so it might have to be Vanguard this time. Solid multiplayer with 20 odd maps at launch apparently. I might have to convince the WhatsApp group to get that then lol. Maybe Battlefield 2042 in 6 months when it’s more packed out and cheaper (win win!)

@LiamCroft I’m assuming you’re answering questions? Anyway hopefully it’s an easy one. I’m generally more COD than battlefield but this one had me excited. My question is on destructible environments. I googled this in the last few days and can’t seem to find anything apart from one source saying you can blow up the odd thing. Or it might have said the odd “type of wall” or something. Do you know? Can you blow up a building someone is sniping from? Some friends are buying this but I’m not convinced. The reason I stop playing this years ago was the very thing you said about running for ages without seeing a soul before then dying when you finally do get to the action.

I watched the Digital Foundry video on YouTube. The main takeaway point? The rain animation is horrendous lol

“so they can't fly off to Blackpool Pier and start nicking people's chips.” Actually laughing (and mentally picturing) that!

Would buying a cheap Cyberpunk get you a free PS5 native upgrade?

3D audio via your TV sounds amazing.. if it’s actually works/ isnoticeable?? I’ve got surround sound so surely it works with that? How can 3D audio be replicated just with TV speakers? That makes no sense to me.

357 comments says it all..

I’m going to just ignore all talk and patches until there is a fully realised native PS5 version. It will come - at some point. The devs have put some seriously hard work into this. Years and years of it and I’d love to play it as it was intended to be played. Corporate greed took over and it backfired massively by being released far too early but there’s obviously one hell of a game in there somewhere. I’ll just play all the other amazing games until that version arrives.

What is Vanguard? A brand new COD? Add on to Cold War? DLC? I’m confused. Never heard of this until today as I’ve been away

My backlog is ridiculous so I’m not even looking! Honestly….

Surely we need to give devs time. Personally - adaptive triggers on COD Cold War was impressive! I almost feel Sony needs to give developers incentive though to make the most of the PS5. Thoughts?

@mrtennis1990 this is my question exactly. Which first - the show or the game? I don’t want one to ruin the other! Seems like people are saying game first. So we might not be watching the show for a while lol. I’m still in the middle of RDR2!

Never played any of these. I need to jump in. Does anyone else have a crazy long catalogue of games that they just can’t get round to playing?

@Mega-Gazz Ha. But it’s either doable on the PS4 or it isn’t. I’d class doable as perfectly playable but maybe with the odd bug or in need of a patch or 2. Personally I’m totally against games releasing unfinished. I mean imagine buying a brand new car and you couldn’t open the boot or a brand new iPad and half the apps don’t work? What makes the game industry different to all others? Where else would you accept an unfinished product and it be acceptable to pay full price for it? Baffles me.

The fact that it says PS4 Pro or PS5 is recommended is actually embarrassing. I work on projects and non viable options get discarded. The PS4 was blatantly non viable and I just can’t get my head round how this has happened.

“Fixed an issue where dropping a NPC's body caused too much destruction.” - what does that even mean?! Like they would leave a hole in the ground? 🤷‍♂️ how actually bad was this at launch!

I’m patiently waiting for the native PS5 version. I just feel bad for die hard fans that have been waiting like 10+ years for this.

This might make me get an aim controller... if I can get hold of one..

Can’t wait to play Squadrons in VR! Can you play Operation: Tango solo? Bit useless to me if not!

I’ll be honest - I bought Street Fighter V when it was on offer and was genuinely quite excited as I used to love Street Fighter games. But I played it for like an hour and thought um... games have massively moved on. OK being Ryu or Ken took me back a bit and some people may love these games (especially if playing against friends) but for me these games don’t need rehashing - there are just SO much better games available now.

Has this already got adaptive triggers for bows etc or might that be coming too?

Is this supposed to be free? It’s £30 on the store. Maybe I missed it being free?

I’ve never played a Ratchet and Clank but I own it for PS4. I feel like I’m missing out...!

I walked past Game today and it still has 2 massive Cyberpunk 2077 posters in the window and it says “winner of over 200 awards”. Is that a joke? That can’t be right surely...

3 that I currently have in my basket are Need for speed heat (I just haven’t played one in so long) £17.39 from £59.99 (-71%). Assassins Creed Odyssey £15.94 from £54.99 (-71%) and finally Doom VFR £5.99 (bargain!) from £19.99 (-70%).

Just seen the tweet from PlayStation. Slightly disappointed Sony have gone for Days Gone considering it’s part of the PS Plus collection and I’ve just finished it from that selection of games. I’ll have a read up on the other 2 though as not too familiar with either of those.

@Wavey84 yeah the camera is annoying. There are also rumours that maybe - just maybe it will be wireless. I think Sony are playing it safe saying it will be wired for now whilst experimenting with wireless possibilities. It doesn’t seem too much of a reach. The Oculus Quests are wireless.... thoughts anyone?

So happy about this. I can just never be bothered setting my PSVR up these days but less cables plus these replacing the moves controllers is amazing. Plus all the other mentioned next gen VR upgrades. Yes! Hope it’s not too far away....!

Wow - again. I wanted farpoint for PSVR, I’ll play any PS5 game, and I’ve (embarrassingly) never played a Final Fantasy game! Excellent. Oh and there’s another one on top of these? Bonus!

@get2sammyb I’ve been meaning to ask for ages how this works. So if Destruction Allstars was set to be £69.99 and now it’s free for PS Plus then how do the Developers get money? Do they get a percentage of PS Plus subscriptions for a set period of time? Do Sony give them a cash payout? I’d love for anyone to tell me the answer to this!

From all the pool of girls they must have had to choose from I think this is a poor choice. Nothing personal to the actress. Maybe there are better photos that look more Ellie-like...

I’ve still not tried zombies yet. Loving Cold War though. Actually I’ve still got the campaign to do too! Multiplayer has been sapping my time during lockdown.

I’m late to the party but wow. I’ll 100% play all 3. Massively happy with Control and Concrete Genie though. Massive clap 👏

This is the most I’ve enjoyed COD multiplayer since MW2. I didn’t love the maps particularly at first but they are growing on me. I like the scorestreaks too and levelling up loads of different guns. It’s definitely helping pass the time during lockdown

Great idea.... I need a new cabinet too. But Boris has put an end to me or anyone else trying this out unfortunately.
