Far too expensive to buy at launch for a repeat play, but will no doubt have a run through in future.
It's a shame they've not expanded the levels or encounters at all. There's so many buildings and "streets behind the barriers" they could've made explorable. A mode to shuffle the enemy locations would have been a nice addition too.
Wish they'd add more PS1 games. Had a fun play through the Resident Evil Director's Cut, and definitely appreciated the conveniences of Rewind and save anywhere.
@HarmanSmith Same. They did one for HFW and GT7 but not for games like Demon's Souls, Ratchet and Clank, the Director's Cuts, Last of Us P1 (only in US), Returnal, Miles Morales, Sackboy and now Ragnorak.
It's a shame as without the special versions I'll just go digital when they're on sale. Not interested in a big box of collectible statue clutter, but I do like a nice Steelbook edition.
@Snake_V5 as Liam says, this is incorrect, you will lose access to the Extra and Premium games.
PS Now games used to also get added to your library as if you'd bought them, but then they'd become locked when they left PS Now. This is how Gamepass works on Xbox too.
Helmets from Returnal and Demons Souls?
Butterflies - Ghost of Tsushima?
Weird fish and flowers: Don't know but feel a bit Horizony
Trophies: Gran Turismo, sports games?
Fridge photos: Red Dead 2, NBA 2K, Ghost of Tsushima, Returnal
Basement: Death Stranding BB, Bloodborne blade, HZD watcher, Firefly pendants from LOU, underwater mine from Uncharted? , Weapons cabinet could be various games but includes a GoT sword and guns from e.g. Days Gone and Last of Us, Death Stranding mask, GoT mask.
Think I glimpsed some armour too, maybe Kratos.
And the monster behind the door... Could be the creatures from the caves in Uncharted or a Days Gone freaker?
Nathan Drake's coin.
Didn't recognise the alien bones or the thing swimming in blood.
@Apfelschteiner it's very noticeable if you can flip between the two modes in the same game. For example, you can do it in Horizon Zero Dawn (PS4 pro and PS5) and Forbidden West, , Shadow of the Tomb Raider , and Spider-man & Miles Morales (PS5, not sure about PS4 or pro). In loads of others as well. 60fps is much more responsive, 30fps feels painfully slow in comparison.
However I actually often have trouble telling the difference in quality /resolution mode, so just tend to stick with the higher FPS modes. In Forbidden West you need a microscope to notice the benefit of the higher resolution mode, but 60fps is a literal game changer.
Thought this might be the case. Couldn't get into Wii or PS Move shooters for the same reason, moving a cursor around just isn't very fun. "Light gun" games haven't been the same since the demise of CRT.
@BeerIsAwesome this is true, same way the plastic industry makes it all the public's fault for littering and not recycling (you can only recycle plastic twice anyway).
"Watts per hour" is incorrect. It's just "Watts". Watts per hour is like saying 'Miles per hour hour'. A watt is 1 joule per second. It is a rate of consumption, not cumulative.
You CAN say watthours, but it's almost always converted into Kilowatt Hours
So, a console consuming 0.5 Watts will consume 0.5wH per hour . Or 0.0005 kWh per hour.
@Luigia PS3 will be streaming only, like it's always been on PS Now. Sony would have to build a PS3 Emulator for PS5 to play PS3 discs, and there's no sign of that anytime soon. And likely no strong business case for it.
Wow, I had this aged about 12, was delighted to get an FPS on the Mega Drive. Didn't notice that the window was so small at the time, and that was playing on a 14 inch TV!
Interesting. I've struggled to see the benefit of HDR on HFW, and on Ghost of Tsushima it made everything look worse. Thought it was my TV's fault but maybe not...
@BritneyfR_ee given that the complete knowledge of the human race was deleted in the first game, it is very impressive they've all managed to learn English so nicely !
I've recently joined a company where working over your contracted hours is actively discouraged except in exceptional cases. My previous company had a culture where it was a badge of honour to be working at 1am. The difference is astounding, people are so much happier and more switched on at my new company.
It's a very common thing when a corporate takes over a smaller company. It's to incentivise the existing management and staff to continue making the same effort that made the company worth buying in the first place.

@belmont I agree, A Short Hike is a great little game, charming and concise.
Very child friendly as well, my 6 year old daughter loved it.

Re: When Will New PS Plus Extra, PS Plus Premium Games Be Announced?
@soracloud28 Shadow warrior 3 left yesterday
Re: God of War Ragnarok Collector's Editions Revealed, Two Have Mjolnir
Sony seem to have stopped doing Steelbook/Limited Editions for a lot of first party games, which makes me sad
Re: PS Plus Essential Monthly Games for July Are Available Now on PS5, PS4
@AFCC Sony have already said they will announce additions to the Extra and Premium libraries separately from the Essentials. Two weeks apart IIRC.
Re: PS Plus Essential Monthly Games for July Are Available Now on PS5, PS4
1. Add to library
2. Never play
I thanka-you. See ya next month.
Re: The Abysmal XIII Remake Gets a Huge Overhaul in September
Good on them for persevering. I would imagine they're aiming to recover revenue with a Gamepass/ PS Plus inclusion.
Re: Resident Evil: Director's Cut (PS1) - Iconic Survival Horror
The original GOAT.
Was an incredible leap forward when you consider we were all playing 2D platformers until a year or two before this came out.
Re: Reaction: PS Plus' PS5, PS4 Restart Is Welcome and Smart
I wonder why you can't view and 'purchase' the PS3 games from the mobile App.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium List Games Leaving Soon, Shadow Warrior 3 Gone on 5th July
@KidBoruto yes it would be better if they stayed, but that would incur a much larger subscription fee. An inherent compromise in the rental service.

Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium List Games Leaving Soon, Shadow Warrior 3 Gone on 5th July
Yeah these are the PS Now expiration dates.
Been playing SW3. It's fun, like a simplified Doom Eternal. But pretty repetitive and a bit annoying in places.
Re: New PS Plus Ad Is Absolutely Packed with Game References
@dschons ah yes are you thinking of the room with the fishing lures (in the RE1 remake)?
Re: New PS Plus Ad Is Absolutely Packed with Game References
@stu123 I don't recognise it from any game but it feels a bit like it could be in Detroit Become Human

Re: The Last of Us: Part I's Out of Stock PS5 Firefly Edition Fetching $450 on eBay
A lot of these seem to have been removed because it's against eBay rules to sell a pre-order earlier than 30 days ahead. Good.
Report them if you see them.
They've certainly not been sold, you can check Sold items.
Re: Mini Review: Resident Evil 7: Biohazard (PS5) - Basic Upgrade for a Great Game
Agreed, still a fantastic game and it runs very smoothly on PS5 but no significant difference that I noticed vs. PS4 Pro (to the naked eye).
Re: Street Fighter 2 Is Free for All PS5, PS4 Players Right Now
@messimagician it's PS4 only but works on PS5. I don't think there is a need for a separate PS5 version, this would run on a Mega Drive.
Re: Where to Pre-Order The Last of Us Part I on PS5
Would fancy that Firefly Edition if it surfaces in UK or Europe
Re: Sony Leaks The Last of Us: Part I for PS5, Launching 2nd September
@Ryany I'd hope for more, otherwise that'd just be a patched version of the PS4 remaster...
Ideally they'll be remaking the whole thing in the Part 2 engine.
Re: PSP's Ridge Racer 2 Looks Tasty in Upressed PS5, PS4 Screenshots
@JimmyRiddle yeah, I don't think 'upressed' is a word. Barely shows up if you Google it. I think you can get away with 'Up-Res' .
Re: Huge PS Store Days of Play Sale Live Now, 1,800+ PS5, PS4 Games Included
RE Village is brilliant, get it if you're on the fence.
Re: PSP's Ridge Racer 2 Looks Tasty in Upressed PS5, PS4 Screenshots
What does "upressed" mean? Do you mean upscaled?
Re: PS4 Games That Need a PS5 Patch
@Apfelschteiner it's very noticeable if you can flip between the two modes in the same game.

Re: British Gas Blasted for Advising Customers to Turn Off Consoles Like PS5, PS4
@Number09 hehe, a bit of Father Jack will resolve almost any situation.
Re: British Gas Blasted for Advising Customers to Turn Off Consoles Like PS5, PS4
@Number09 I mean, even the headline says British Gas. Just admit you read it wrong and stop digging.
Re: British Gas Blasted for Advising Customers to Turn Off Consoles Like PS5, PS4
@Gloamin agreed, but it's worse than that. They make money from waste. It's just posturing to distract from the real problem (i.e. them).
Re: British Gas Blasted for Advising Customers to Turn Off Consoles Like PS5, PS4
@Number09 The article talks about British Gas, merely passed on by the BBC, I'd take umbrage with BG first.
Re: British Gas Blasted for Advising Customers to Turn Off Consoles Like PS5, PS4

Re: Beloved Classics Will Comprise PS Plus Premium Catalogue
@Ristar24 I agree, it'd be nice if we could access PS3 titles we own digitally for no additional cost, at least via streaming.
Re: Beloved Classics Will Comprise PS Plus Premium Catalogue
@Luigia PS3 will be streaming only, like it's always been on PS Now.
Sony would have to build a PS3 Emulator for PS5 to play PS3 discs, and there's no sign of that anytime soon. And likely no strong business case for it.
Re: Beloved Classics Will Comprise PS Plus Premium Catalogue
@Luigia if you mean the ability to insert a PS3 disc into the PS4/PS5 and play it, then no chance of that happening at all.

By the way, how can it be unrealistically diverse? It's meant to be a cross section of the world's population, that was built into Zero Dawn.
