Good review and I might actually pick this up, since myself and partner have just finished Sackboy and she really enjoyed it. Wondering what visual differences between PS4 and PS5. Does PS5 version have haptic feedback and triggers?
Control looks fantastic at 30fps with ray tracing but 60fps without the ray tracing was so much smoother. There was one fight that I struggled with, however I changed it to 60fps performance mode and didn't struggle with the fight as much. With 60fps I seemed to find my aiming easier. I actually don't know why though.
I'll get it once they release 60fps ray traced mode similar to Miles Morales. I find it too hard to play 30fps now that I have been spoiled with 60fps.
The big issue is Ubisoft seem to have in their minds that they need to create bigger and bigger worlds. However the cost of having bigger worlds is more bugs and a lot more hard work for QA and devs to find and fix things. I have sunk about 30hours in and have stopped, just feel like I'm not getting anywhere when I look at the world map overall. I couldn't finish 1x mission and had to restart it all over since it wouldn't let me finish since the main target was not killed, the main target was in a boulder. Broke the immersion, guess that mission was based on Sword in the Stone.
@LeFlupke Hi We are Ubisoft we promise even more future updates for our games and you can rely on us to break our game more than fix it. Work from home probably means someone had their cat walk on the keyboard when they stepped away for a break and remove the horse sounds.
For PS4 owners you will need to repurchase this, which is a terrible practice in the industry. Especially since there isn't that much difference between versions. I will wait till there is a sale on this.
Hate battle passes. And yes I did have the clubhouse pass 1 for this game because I decided to try a pass once in my gaming and will never again. Cheesed me off because I was only 12 levels away from getting all the gear, was still a grind. And yet even with purchasing the pass if you don't finish it you lose it. If you purchase it and it ends they should let you have the remaining stuff you missed. You pretty much pay to grind a game.
So no raytracing, I was kind of hoping the PS5 version would be much closer to photorealism. Might skip this year and wait. I usually do the sports games every couple of years anyway.
At least by the time the PS5 version comes, it will already be in the bargain prices. They wouldn't expect to release the PS5 version at full price considering technically the game came out last year.
Not fussed, it just means more money in their pockets for Sony and the game developers. This means even better games in the future produced due to having more funds. It's actually a win for the Sony players for the future.
However of further note, they really should then release a free update to HZD with graphical updates of the higher setting of the PC version then. PS5 should be able to run Ultimate PC settings or even the one below that. PC Medium was PS4 Pro settings.
As long as the next version support 1440+ or even 4k each eye I will be happy. Didn't mind the VR but I could see the pixels and aliasing which was disappointing. They need to make the next version equivalent to a 4k TV with HDR.
Plus the motion controls with the old technology controls was not ideal.
Once vaccinations are worldwide, these covid scenarios will end. The world will be back it's normal self by the end of the year thankfully. Or at least back to it's normal bickering and wars at least.
They need to move things in the games list. Installed should be first, then the list of all your games. The UI is nice and responsive but still feel like it was a rushed thing
The problem I see is if for example Valhalla used the cards more to jump straight to missions, is that I would miss many of the side missions you come across in your travels. Also I played Spiderman Remastered without using the cards, and I found I gained experience from swinging around and found it a lot of fun. Then I played and finished Mile Morales just by using the cards, my character didn't level up as much plus I didn't really feel immmersed in the gameworld since I barely swung around the city.
Technically 2 PS5 games, Maneater and Greedfall. Greedfall will be getting a next gen upgrade they say. Glad I held off with Maneater. I have already bought enough games on PS5 - Mile Morales, Sackboy, Demons Souls, Valhalla, and Fenyx Rising. I think I will stop buying games for some time and finish what I bought and play the PS Plus games that come.
I will still wait till it's out and judge by Digital Foundry etc. It's going to take a lot to get my trust in this company back. They really should get new QA testers.
If it wasn't CDPR that created this, I'm sure the review scores would be lower. Days Gone had bugs at launch etc and reviews scores dropped because of it, however CDPR release a buggy game and it's all rainbows and butterflys in reviewers eyes.
@Tripaplex Excellent. Worth the 20 minutes on the support with Sony. Also at least I also know there is a system software update coming very soon. I asked him if it's the same as always of Performance and Stability Improvements, got no response. Probably thought I was being a smart***.
@Tripaplex
The app on phone didn't work. Went through the website playstation store and signed in on that. Selected My Playstation in top corner near the shopping trolley, clicked on Game Library, then it shows I have PS5 Puyo Puyo with an option to download.
Also sorry you have to select the website playstation store of your country, I just provided the Australian link.
@INVICTUS How did you do that? I was sure this was a PS5 game since it was listed in the PS5 games. I'm just waiting for support to open to ask what CE-107880-4 means. Could be something silly like PS5 version hasn't actually been released yet, even though store said it had. These issues with PS4/PS5 versions are bound to happen. PS4 didn't have these problems at launch because it couldn't play PS3 games.
Haven't played the first so this might be worth picking up on the PS5. Although slightly disappointing that there is no 120fps performance mode or fidelity mode with raytracing
@Ralizah
Cheers, I will wait. The game might go on sale prior to the free PS5 update, then I will grab it to save some money. I will have to turn off the internet in the meantime to avoid spoilers.
They haven't released many details about the PS5 version, they are probably thinking it will hurt the PS4 sales. However they don't think that some people will just wait anyway.
I want this game, but only having a PS5 now I cannot decide if I should buy it now and play it, or just wait for the PS5 version. I tend not to play the same game twice especially if they are huge (due to time constraints) Wish they would release info as to what benefits the PS5 version will have over the PS4 version.
Just going to wait for the PS5 version anyway. The less people buy the PS4 version and wait for the PS5 version, the quicker they will release it, since sales will be lower than expected.
Have PS5 so I guess it's just Worms Rumble then. Oh well, to be expected with a new console I guess. Just hope they are not going to just release 1x PS5 game each month, should be 2x.
There has also been reports of a sticker slightly hitting the fan which has created noise.
Of note even my 3080 has coil noise, even my old 6 series Nvidia had some coil noise. It's common, unless it's very loud then just take it back under warranty. Out of the million sold, and only 1000 have an issue, this is normal for any electronics.
If people stop buying off them, then they will be stuffed ending up with stock they cannot sell.
I understand you want a PS5 and they are hard to come by, but just say NO to these I would say humans but they fall into the category of being a pinch of dirt.
I'm dying so many times yet it is weird because it isn't actually frustrating me. I get more frustration getting killed in MP COD when I see the killcam and go "how the heck did they get me".
The only thing I wish they did was include a better tutorial system. Like how to get back to your body etc. Also how to sell gear you don't need, I have swords and loot that doesn't fit my character yet I have to carry it everywhere.
Everytime time I have died though is from my own stupidity of not slowing down. This is my first souls type game, and every time I see an enemy in the distance my heart starts racing and I take a deep breathe getting ready.

Spoke to Sony support and looks like I fixed it. Downloading PS5 version now. They said there is a system update coming in 7 hours that should resolve this issue.
Otherwise go to

Did the latter and it is downloading the PS5 version now (as long as console is on or in rest mode)
