@nessisonett If you want to turn a harsh spotlight on a whole generation as you just have, then I would ask that you please look first to your own. Gen Z. If you want to understand how many people outside of Gen Z view your generation then please watch Isaac Butterfield's outrageous woke tik toks video.

@Oram77 Argos have them online in the UK right now

@Olmaz Shrinkflation is happening with consoles now?

@Topov81 Not seeing that here.

I'm playing the PS5 version using the free upgrade from a PS4 disc if that's relevant. One PS5 save file at 44.05 MB. I've sorted the files by name to be certain.

Could you have created a save file on both the PS4 and PS5 versions? Transferred a save from PS4 to PS5 version?

I can see that I have two AC Unity PS4 save files, and that was because the disc version and the PS+ version were recognised as different games so created separate save files.

@KilloWertz And it is there. I'm very happy to see it finally added, and very happy to be proved wrong.

@KilloWertz I'm not seeing this feature either. Surely it wouldn't take days to roll this out to everyone?

@Ravix You can use a thumb drive as long as it has enough capacity to take all your saves from every PS5 game. Agreed that it's not great that you can't select individual game saves, but if you're just experimenting with the one game then it would work as long as you don't play anything else. You can just choose game saves and deselect install data.

@Ravix I've posted on here a few times about the fact that you can back up PS5 saves to USB. You'll find it in the System Backup settings. It comes with some caveats in that it's an all or nothing process. But it can be done and I do it regularly.

@Carl-G Settings->System Software->Back Up and Restore->Back Up Your PS5

When you have a USB drive connected (a separate one to a drive you may be using to store games) you can choose to just back up Saved Data. I think you have to do all games, you can't individually select games. You can also backup installed games, screenshots, video clips and system settings from there

@thefourfoldroot1 I'd do that if the terms and conditions don't change, but these kind of things are often revised and personally I'd want the changes highlighted or summarised before agreeing again. Maybe just me, but financial agreements that you don't have in writing are not worth the paper they're not written on.

@thefourfoldroot1 I guess it's because you have to "purchase" them (for £0), and in doing that you agree to the terms and conditions

@Anti-Matter My Little Pony is out today. I think that sounds like a game you'd like.

@sweatyrich It's a Chocobo

@RBMango Wasn't there only a few days between Zero Dawn and Breath of the Wild release dates?

Also the Switch launched with Breath of the Wild so that would have been some pretty serious competition to contend with.

@Shepherd_Tallon Glad to hear that. How did you fix it, just out of interest?

@Shepherd_Tallon I wonder if that is version specific. My save files were from Version 1.23 and imported OK.

@heybren22 But you can backup all your game saves to USB, it's in the System Backup options. Admittedly it would be better if you could copy individual game files, but at least you do have the option to back up your saves without Plus cloud backup.

@feral1975 Just over 1GB

@PaperAlien I think it's OK if you make it a Closed Private Party

@Carl-G I'm guessing that you haven't seen that backing up game saves to USB is already available in the current firmware. You can also choose to back up Games, Apps, screenshot, videos etc. You'll find it in Settings->System->System Software->Backup and Restore->Back up your PS5

@Would_you_kindly Only expensive TVs support 120Hz at 4K. My 2017 LG OLED supports 120Hz at 1080p

@PenguinL Just Alan Wake as far as I've seen

@wes1234 Might be worth trying it wired with the controller communication set to USB.

Party chat using the PS4 camera mic and TV speakers. I used this feature a lot on PS4.

@TheFrenchiestFry You must be loaded if you're going to buy that many

@Beefy01 Unfortunately that won't work

@Pillybaul Online party chat without a headset, I hope.

Bit soon to be talking about PS4 in the past tense...

@AFCC You can manually upload all saves for a particular game by pressing Options with the game selected and choosing the Upload/Download option.

P.S. 60GB of save files. What have you been playing?

The biggest problem, with PS4 I don't know about PS5, is the amount of free space you need to download updates. If you have a 75GB game that has a 5GB patch you need at least 80GB free space for it to create a full copy of the main install, patch it then replace the original files. You will be left with the 80GB free space afterwards, but you need to leave it free for subsequent updates.

How about configuring display settings?

Do trophies automatically sync with PSN?

Is digital game sharing the same as with PS4?

@FutureZombie3000 Try pressing Options on the Trophies screen and doing a Sync. I did this and my level updated after a few minutes without me having to earn any new trophies.

Also not working properly for me and just showing Vita games. However there is a note at the bottom of the web page that says you have to allow Sony to collect "additional" data which is apparently a setting on the PS4. I haven't tried it yet.

@LieutenantFatman Whether is it trolling or not would depend on the intent of the statement. If said purely to provoke then yes it is, but otherwise not.

I'm genuinely shocked at the way @rjejr is being treated in the comments here. This guy's been around for years and I'm always interested to read his comments, as he has interesting things to say. To accuse him of trolling is pretty disgusting when he's presented fully formed arguments. Debating is good, flat out dismissal or waving the rule stick because you disagree is wrong.

My take away from this is to go and give Labo VR a try with BOTW and SMO.

VR in my opinion is one of the biggest genuine "game changers" the video game industry has seen for a long time, and I've been gaming for 35 years.

@Th3solution You are definitely not alone in disliking Black Flag. If you preferred ACII, then I can highly recommend Unity as I feel that came the closest to rekindling the ACII atmosphere.

In the UK, this edition looks like a PS4 Slim, not a Pro

Any word on the full on version of London Heist that was supposedly in development?

Edit: Ah yes, Blood & Truth. It's still in dev. I see.

@gbanas92 Nah, yours is still better

Missed your chance on the tagline. Could have had "Interview with the Vampyr"

I still want trophies to automatically sync online as you earn them (without having to click the trophies icon and watch the progress bar). Failing that, run a sync routine when in Rest mode to do it. The PS3 and Vita have had this for a long time. Xbox 360/One have always had immediate sync.

I do however think it's impressive that you can browse all your trophies from PS3/PS4/Vita, regardless of which console you earned them on. The Xbox 360 just gives you a total Gamerscore of what you've earned on Xbox One, i.e. no game breakdown.
PS4 trophy screenshots are nice too.

Regarding the PS Store, I think it's much better than the Xbox One store. I find it much easier to navigate, and the sales are always much easier to browse through. Sony get far more of my gaming money partly because of this. Their sales are usually far better price wise as well.

Let it Die is in the Free To Play section on the EU store

@dryrain Mine was exactly the same. Time for a clean out of the dust from the inside. You'll be impressed with the difference.

@Cron_13 Unless you bought it directly from Sony, your first port of call should have been the retailer. If you still have the faulty PS4, then you still could do this. Just bear in mind that the burden of proof will be on you to prove that it was a Day One fault.

I have used this legislation to have both an Xbox 360 and Xbox One replaced. In the case of the 360 it was replaced by Blockbuster in store after 11 months of use. The Xbox One was replaced by Microsoft after 18 months of use.

If you're in the UK, have bought an expensive console brand new and haven't mistreated it then you have every right to return it to the retailer for a repair/replacement/refund (in that order) if it goes faulty at any point up to six years after purchase.

If it's within six months, then the burden of proof that the item was not faulty at the start is on the retailer. After six months and up to six years, the burden of proof is on the consumer to prove that the fault was there at the start.

This is fully part of the UK Sale Of Goods Act, now partly replaced by the Consumer Rights Act, but not many people know about it. The proper document is hideous to read, but there's a really well written document in the House Of Commons library.

http://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN02239/SN02239.pdf

I used it to very good effect with Microsoft for a faulty console, but be prepared for an argument and attempts from the retailer to fob you off to the manufacturer.

Just one small request - Automatic trophy syncing.

It just bugs me that the PS4 still doesn't have an option for this.

@Sir_JBizzle I used the UK equivalent of this http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Expansion-STBX2000401-2-5-Inch-Portable/dp/B00ILALU9G/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Cheaper than a bare drive on Amazon UK. I just prised open the caddy, took out the drive and installed it in the PS4. It was actually a Samsung Spinpoint drive inside. I put the old 500GB drive back in the caddy so it's usuable elsewhere once I format it. Then I thought I'd better keep the old drive safe until my PS4 warranty has expired in case it has to go back in to be returned if a fault develops.

As it stands, this box doesn't allow party chat when remote linking to PS4. If you're in a party on the LiveArea dashboard, it disconnects you as soon as you start PS4 remote play.

The best you can get when in PS4 remote play is a bluetooth headset/speaker to output other people's voice, you have no microphone facility.

And no, plugging the wired headset into the DS4 doesn't work at all.
