Money is a big incentive. If Sony throw enough money at them I'm sure their plans will change. I've heard nothing but praise about Astro. I love it. My daughter loves it. The internet loves it. Why wouldn't you make a sequel or DLC.
@themightyant Yeah I had a folder on my PS4 of games I was waiting to play on PS5 in BC mode. Purely because my PS4 is a jet engine when I tried to play them. God of War, The Last of Us 2, RDR2 to name a few.
He obviously hasn't seen my PS4 HDD stats then. Upgraded internal to 2TB which is full. Also added an external 2TB which is 90% full. I was planning on taking that over the the PS5 pending a fix for the external access.
@God_of_Nowt a true legend among the community here. Thank you Sir for all of the information you have been providing us.
I feel excited for the launch of the console but at the same time left out because although its launched, we can't fully celebrate until we get the consoles in our hands next week.
Hopefully fixes will be quick and rolled out before the European launch. I can hold off plugging in my External until a fix has been issued.
@God_of_Nowt Thanks! Yeah I'm going to boot up my PS5 and it's probably going to attempt to download 200gig of games at the same time. I'd rather not have to manually manage the downloads by pausing and unpausing them. I'd rather it prioritized a list and did them 1 at a time.
Unfortunately I couldn't find a way to copy my daughters local save files to a USB stick. She is 5 years old and too young for PSN account. I was unable to back up her saves.
I've ended up creating her a PSN profile, and limited just about everything I can on there. She will have to start all over again with her trophies and save games, but at least they can be backed up now.
I'll be recording and editing on PC. Though I will give share factory a try no doubt. I returned my Elgato 4K60 a few months ago and have been holding off getting another one, waiting to see what the PS5 was capable of doing.
@God_of_Nowt Yeah being all digital with no physical games on launch for me this time around. I guess I'll have to play Astrobot or play some of my PS4 games off my external for a bit.
@God_of_Nowt Good to know thank you. I was hoping to save some time come launch day. Already have Valhalla, Miles Morales, Cold War and Sackboy pre-loaded on my PS4...
It's going to take over 24 hours to download them again with my internet speeds lol.
@God_of_Nowt Yes, but what I want to know is do I need to download the game again or can the PS5 use some of the files from my PS4 so I dont need to download the entire game again
Good to know. I picked this up a week or so ago and have been enjoying it. I'll definitely be giving it a go on PS5. It's on my External all ready to go.
@AJDarkstar Beat you to it my PS4 2TB drive is already full. It would be such a ball ache to upgrade to a 4TB drive and copy everything off the 2TB onto the 4TB wouldnt it.
Ah nice, so now people will get games and accessories early. Then when they realise they didn't get a preorder in time they will be stuck with some games and accessories they can't use.

Re: Team Asobi Has 'No Plans' for Astro's Playroom DLC or Sequel Right Now
@Amppari doesn't mean they work for free though does it.
Re: Team Asobi Has 'No Plans' for Astro's Playroom DLC or Sequel Right Now
@darkswabber They could do DLC for each Console. Inside the PS1, 2, 3 and 4! I'd buy them all.

Re: PS4 Firmware Update 8.01 Is Available to Download Now

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Reddit Page Ablaze with Complaints
I've been playing it on PS4 and haven't had any issues with it. Some games I do well, some games, not so well.
I'm having a lot of fun playing it. I like all the maps. Overall, no complaints from me to be honest.
Re: PS5's First Firmware Update Is Available to Download Now
Now to wait for the real world tests of what its fixed/broken

Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Lets You Delete Modes You're Not Playing on PS5
Can you delete the campaign? I'll likely play through it once and then stick to the MP.
Just fired it up on the PS4, you can click R3 from the menu to manage content. You can uninstall the Campaign.

Re: How to Use an External HDD on PS5
"Always Install PS4 Games to Extended Storage"
Is that option available if you don't need to format your external? The article reads like its only available if you are formatting a new drive.

Re: How to Remove Other Storage Space from PS5
Nice tip, I imagine a swap/shadow file used for the continuous capture will eat up a significant amount of space.
Re: PS5 Adds Wishlists to PS Store
@God_of_Nowt Sorry to keep pestering you but you seem to have all the answers lol
Can you limit the number of concurrent downloads? i.e. only download 1 thing at a time, unlike the PS4 trying to download 4x80 gig games at once.
Re: PS5 Stock: When and Where Can You Buy PlayStation 5?
@StonyKL ha! My actually broke my F5 key I think. The RGB lighting on the key is dimmer than the rest now.
Re: PS5 Stock: When and Where Can You Buy PlayStation 5?
Secured mine from Amazon within 20 seconds of them going live.
If mine doesn't arrive next Thursday I will be mighty disappointed.
Re: PS5 Adds Wishlists to PS Store
@God_of_Nowt I don't suppose you've tested if Sackboy can be played with a PS4 controller on the PS5?
I can't justify buying a third DualSense controller so my wife can join in with my daughter and myself.
Re: PS5 Adds Wishlists to PS Store
@God_of_Nowt Super, appreciate the information.
I'll be recording and editing on PC. Though I will give share factory a try no doubt. I returned my Elgato 4K60 a few months ago and have been holding off getting another one, waiting to see what the PS5 was capable of doing.
Re: PS5 Adds Wishlists to PS Store
@God_of_Nowt Can you shed any light on the Create button? No one seems to of covered it.
Can you record 4K60 HDR? Can you export files to an External HDD? How long can you record for? etc

Re: PS5 Adds Wishlists to PS Store
Wait, what? The full embargo has now been lifted?
Can you clarify if I can "convert" my PS4 games to the PS5 version, or will I need to download them all again?

Re: Huge PlayStation Store Indies Sale Has Lots of Great PS4 Games Going Cheap
@tomassi @naruball I keep all my consoles. I'm a console hoarder. I still have my PS1, 2, 3 and I'm keeping my PS4 Pro.
Re: Huge PlayStation Store Indies Sale Has Lots of Great PS4 Games Going Cheap
Not more sales!
Anyone feeling all these sales are a trap? Buy these PS4 games cheap only to find they don't work on PS5 properly.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?
@AJDarkstar Beat you to it my PS4 2TB drive is already full. It would be such a ball ache to upgrade to a 4TB drive and copy everything off the 2TB onto the 4TB wouldnt it.
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Want to Know About PS5?
Can you use more than 1 external HDD?
Can you set a download limit so it only downloads 1 thing at a time?
Can you capture 4K 60 FPS?
Re: Site News: We Have a PS5
Excellent! Can you let us know when the embargo lifts if you can use more than 1 external USB HDD at the same time please.
