@batwing47 the lack of whistle blowing just seems odd though, the amount of devs and marketing people that must have known the state of it and were against it being released, you'd have thought some stories would have came out by now

Random question, but are mandatory loading screens usually counted within the 'total time to complete a game' or just the time actually spent playing?

I wonder if the lack of loading on ps5 will make all games appear shorter.

Once they've got the trailer sorted they'll start work on the game

Urgh multiplayer.
My brief experiences of multiplayer are disgusting angry teens being idiots and if you don't play the game for 20hrs a day at release theres no point even trying to join in and catch up later. Oh and a money pit.

That said my favourite growing up was team fortress, damn I miss that

Love reading the comments on abandoned articles, everybody treading carefully enough to be able to say 'I knew it' whichever way this goes

Did they outsource the smoke on the campfire in the 'photo realistic' trailer? Because that needs some work

Has anyone here played the pc version? Assuming better visuals, more npc's and traffic? The core gameplay and mechanics are surely identical.
I do fear many people are holding out for a ps5 version that will still not live up to their expectations and the hate will start again.

For the record it's a good game, nowhere near a 10 (or a 3). Some great motion cap'd conversations, characters and excellent soundtrack

Been using base.com for a little while now - how come they can sell them so 'cheap' yet presumably still make a profit on them to make it worthwhile.

Just playing through 2 for the second time, it left such a bad taste in my mouth its taken a year to play it again.
On ps5 the 60fps is amazing. I only had a base ps4 so it now also looks like a new game too.
Just at the aquariam with Ellie so I know it won't be long until I'm forced to play as 'her'....

The one time my habit of trading in physical games after completion comes back to bite me

Must be a nightmare trying to find the trigger and then fix some of these bugs where they only occur for some people. I completed the game and had none of these quest related bugs.

Do you regret the line 'the good and the not so bad' back in December?

They can't be expecting many digital sales when it reappears surely? Anyone who really wants it already has it (and now probably far cheaper than it'll cost on the PS store) and those with a digital ps5 will wait for the native ps5 release.

Doesn't get more high profile than channel 5.....

Haven't they only recently split the team into two (or maybe not even done so yet) with half working on cyberpunk and half on witcher? I think this will be a long way off yet

I wonder if Jim Ryan bought a faulty tesla he'd expect a refund?

Will this make the Williams go faster?

Hoping this doesn't go the route of rockstar and the cash it generates means they no longer feel the need to make a new game

@Dezzy70 oh I have one (argos December) and another from smyths in December for my mate - glad those days of constantly refreshing websites are long gone!

Just checked CEX UK and the 4 nearest stores to me (talking a 10 mile radius) are hoarding 14 ps5's and still trying to sell them for £750

Anyone (like myself) that ever questioned what the fuss is about between 30/60fps, try out the latest 'the last of us 2' patch which let's you switch between them in the options menu on the fly.

Could the ps5 handle fidelity mode @60fps and its a dev issue, or are we already seeing hardware constraints that will lead to a ps5 pro in the not too distant future?

@Old-Red I've had this issue a few times since the last update. Controller has plenty of life left when turning the console fully off, when I come to play the next day it won't even turn the console on without being plugged in. Something is causing it drain at random overnight

I'd guess the video was put together by devs at some stage in production to try and help their cause of telling the execs, who clearly weren't listening to them, that the game needed to be delayed (again). Obviously didn't work.

That said, I'm very much in the 'got it, played it, really enjoyed it' camp

@DeepSpace5D GoW, Horizon and GT7 are not ps5 exclusives? I think that's the point he/she is making

So will these games on both platforms be £50 for ps4 and £70 for ps5?

@nessisonett tempted to give this a go then, been a few years since having an F1 game pretty sure my last one was Button and alonso at mclaren. Could be the last decent one before EA ruin it....

Is this worth getting without a racing wheel? I sold mine a while back as I didn't have the room for it

Surely the number of crashes are falling as fewer people play the game over time. Is this a playstation only graph? Pretty useless graph really.

That said, on ps5 I really enjoyed it despite its shortcomings. If you trash the game without having played it then your opinion holds no weight.

If this has respawning enemies like the last one then I'll pass

Having only played and completed it recently for the first time, it'll need more than a lick of paint/ray tracing to bring it up to modern day standards.

Looking good. Doubtful it'll hit that release date but we've waited this long so not a big issue if its delayed.
Glad there is a native ps5 version. Hopefully it won't be held back too much by the 'old' generation

For those waiting for the native ps5 version, what exactly is it you are waiting for? It'll be the same game, just with some nice shiny graphics. The story will be the same, the game mechanics will be the same? Seems like people are expecting miracles and hyping up the next gen version. It plays perfectly fine now on ps5, 60fps

Apart from digital ps5 owners, it's not like you can't buy the game if you wanted to.

What a shame. Doesn't sound like a native ps5 version will change the score much either as its mostly down to the game design and mechanics.

I agree with the comments that if it's a ps4 game it should be reviewed on that console for the most part at least.

@Milktastrophe what framerate was you hoping for?

I preordered with base (UK) back in November and just had an email 6 months later saying its available

'old people won't get the joke'. Nice sweeping statement there

@Old-Red I do wonder if its how the ps5 is handling backwards compatibility. I really don't remember it being this jarring (to quote you) when I played it last year on ps4. Had similar experience with ratchet & clank on ps5 until the recent 60fps patch.
I've not played that many games at 60 for that to be my norm.

Edit:when I got my ps5 I was midway through witcher 3 so transition from ps4 to ps5 to finish it and remember at the time thinking it feels a bit 'weird' visually

Having played this on a base ps4 it feels and looks like a new game. No way this needs a remaster. Switching between 30 and 60fps is pretty eye opening.

As much as I disliked the story, time for another playthrough

Christ this is depressing news.

If the next generation is digital only and Sony remains in sole control of digital games with no sell back option, I think I will have to reconsider my hobby

Demon's souls, sackboy, Miles morales are all less than £45 at cex, and that's without shopping around.

So, ratchet, horizon, gow, spiderman, got2, last of us, new naughty dog ip, bend, from my poor knowledge of playstation studios.

There's 8. Is kojima working on something?

Many will be VR games

Never understood the 'snobbery' around frame rates, but after experiencing the PS4 ratchet recently when it was free (on ps5), it gave me a headache. Then out the blue they patch it at 60fps and what a difference that made.

Why 30fps is even an option on this new one is a strange decision

I used to play Battlefield 3 online all the time, one of the only games I did apart from the great team fortress. But I don't ever remember having ps+. Am I dreaming this up, how was that possible?

@AgentGuapo still don't get it (other than your explanation, thanks). So each time you switch the ps5 on if you haven't left it in rest mode, you are at the very start of the game?

I don't understand the save system (I don't have the game).

People are moaning you can't save, and are also moaning they lost/corrupted their save. What is it?

@Jayofmaya be brave, it's pretty terrifying in VR. Such an experience

Got my PS5 copy. Hoping to finish disco elysium tonight and playing RE tomorrow with the curtains drawn whilst it rains all day outside.

Probably take it to CEX or put on ebay Sunday if the game length is correct

I view platinum trophies as games I really enjoyed and wanted to persevere to get them (days gone, ghost of tsushima, astros playroom being recent ones).

Not a fan of games which force you to complete them on an insane difficulty to get the trophy.
