@Darude84 Yeah I believe there was an issue claiming the DLC at launch via PS Plus but it was later fixed. As long as Sony isn't doing anything weird, you shouldn't have any issues playing Burning Shores with the PS Plus version
@caiol92 I played the whole game with the day one patch applied, which fixed the rain. I didn't really have any issues with it when actually playing the game.
As for the audio, the whole thing sounded fantastic to me; really atmospheric. I'm absolutely not an expert in this field, though, so it might be worth searching out more expert opinions on the audio if it's a big deal to you. I just used earphones plugged into the PS5 controller.
@KundaliniRising333 I didn't have any issues with the controls or the game's performance once during my 50 hours with the game. There's no need to accuse outlets of taking money for positive reviews either.
@Bleachedsmiles Capcom only very recently said it's begun development of the PSVR2 mode, so I wouldn't expect it anytime soon. There are no hints yet as to what it could be; none in the game itself either.
Hi everyone, it’s been a pleasure playing Resident Evil 4 these past few weeks! Feel free to copy me in if you have questions, but please note I’m still under a strict embargo. I’m not allowed to discuss what’s new, been changed, or removed yet.
@themightyant I just like to know how long I played a game for, sort of like a diary in the same way Trophies can function. I know it ultimately a meaningless stat, but when I have one console that reliably tracks and another that doesn’t, I’ve decided to give my money to the one doing it accurately from now on.
I don’t have any grand reasoning for placing importance on playtime, I just really like to see the stat 😂 It bothers me when it’s inaccurate
@Shepherd_Tallon That's fine, I know it's a weird hang-up to have but it's just something that really bothers me. My Xbox has accurately tracked every game I've ever played on it so I go there now for third-party stuff I'm not reviewing.
@Titntin Actually, I do value the game experience that much that I want the console to accurately track how long I played the game for. I spent £500+ on the system, so I expect it to track playtime correctly.
That's never going to be the case for me until they fix the completely broken playtime tracker on PS5. I'd rather my expensive console accurately track time than add a bit of extra controller rumble.
I recently made the switch to buying third-party games on Xbox Series X because of this, where the user experience is much better. PS5 for exclusives and review games only henceforth.
@themightyant I've checked on the console itself and now it's displaying correctly. Not sure why the web version wasn't showing it, but thanks for the heads up
@themightyant I just found them disappointing in general, really. Compared to other native PS5 games, I don't think it stacks up all that well. It looks fine, completely passable. But when you're putting out a PS5-only remake, where one of the most important things is the visual upgrade, I think it could look quite a bit better.
@jcvandan According to a FAQ, you need to boot up Hitman 1 or 2 and buy Hitman 3 through the in-game store on the main menu for $10. This will complete the set for you. It's all done inside the game itself, not the PS Store.
@thefourfoldroot1 The demo took place at PlayStation's HQ in London, but it was the demo as the CES one.
1. I don't know on that one. It was all set up for me ready to go, logged into one PS5 profile.
2. I don't wear any glasses or contacts. The eye tracking took some getting used to, but it's pretty straightforward once you wrap your head around it.
@NEStalgia Interesting you bring that up, actually. I completely forgot about that problem, but yes, I had a lot of issues with the PSVR fogging up when I was playing it. It was a real irritation of mine.
This didn't happen once during my time with PSVR2. No fogging, no smears. Nothing at all!
@nessisonett I'm afraid I'm the only one on staff who attended the event, and outside of a few early sessions, I never had any motion sickness problems with PSVR. I didn't have any issues with PSVR2 either.
I'm quite limited in what I can say or discuss, but if you have some questions, feel free to copy me in. Another preview is hitting the site within the next few hours also.

Re: C-Smash VRS Release Date Announced, Playable Demo Available Now for PSVR2
This looks interesting. I think I'll give the demo a go.
Re: You Must Beat Horizon Forbidden West to Play PS5 DLC Burning Shores
@Darude84 You definitely should be able to play the DLC using the PS Plus version. It's the same game; you're just getting it via a service.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (PS5) - A True Masterpiece Made Even Better
@KundaliniRising333 No issues at all, I used the default controller settings the entire time.

@KundaliniRising333 Outlets do not receive money for positive reviews. It is not a thing.

Re: Resident Evil 4 (PS5) - A True Masterpiece Made Even Better
@Olliemar28 There are four difficulty modes, but Mad Chainsaw Mode was exclusive to the demo. The hardest setting unlocks after beating the game once.

Re: Sony Has No Console Exclusivity Over Baldur's Gate 3
@carlos82 @Jaz007 @UltimateOtaku91 Did you guys even read the statement? They said it’s an issue with split screen co-op.
I think it's a more complex issue than the Series S just not being able to run it.

@LN78 Do you mean where the HUD disappears on the fly? I don't believe so, but you can turn every individual HUD element off.

@Broosh Yes you can!

Re: Hogwarts Legacy (PS5) - A Harry Potter Dream Come True
@NeThZOR The review score hasn't been lowered because of J.K. Rowling's views. That's not a factor in the final rating of the game.
@Zuljaras The answer to both your questions is yes! The quest is a fun one.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy (PS5) - A Harry Potter Dream Come True
@Golem25 No, I don't believe you can.

Re: Hands On: PSVR2 Represents the Next Big Step for VR
@LN78 I already had one pre-ordered prior to this, but the demo has made me more excited for it to arrive! One of the best things I've played in VR.
@Jaz007 I found it a bit more engaging than that, but my full Horizon Call of the Mountain impressions will go live tomorrow.
@Bunchesopuppies I believe the cable is four to five metres long. It never got in my way.
@Muse2007 The haptic feedback and vibrations in the headset were really good! I could really feel them, especially when a machine was nearby.
