Re: The Novelty of PlayStation's PC Ports Does Appear to Be Dampening

TurboTom

As long as Sony dosent go day and date with PC then I don't care how well or bad they sell on PC. Or actually selling bad might be a good thing and prevent the possibility of Sony going day and date with PC. Sorry if I seem a little negative but I just find the PC crowd very irritating, even more so since Sony started to release their games on PC. Although to be fair, a lot of the time it is probably just xbox gamers trolling and pretending to be PC master race πŸ€” πŸ˜‚

Re: Don't Worry, You Can Add an Ultra HD Disc Drive to PS5 Pro

TurboTom

I was considering upgrading at up to Β£600 with a disk drive. But I think I will probably pass on this and stick to my physical ps5 I got around a year ago on sale. Also my LGC1 is only 48 Inch so lower resolution probably dosent look as bad than on a larger screen size. Maybe in a year or so if there is a disk model on sale but there probably won't be πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Re: PS5 Is Selling Twice As Fast As PS4 in China

TurboTom

Lol, I just make a comment about this in the article about the game selling well in China. I would be interested to know what the ps4 sold on China. In Japan I don't expect ps5 to sell more than 10 million which is similar numbers than both ps3 and ps4 did in Japan I think πŸ€”

Re: Black Myth: Wukong Prompts PS5 Sales Explosion in China

TurboTom

I wouldn't be surprised if ps5 ends up selling more in China than it does in Japan by the end of the Generation. Although I have no idea how well the ps4 did in China? But I think Asian markets could help make up for the slight decline in sales from Europe this Generation. Although this comment is probably more suited to a site like vgchartz πŸ€” πŸ˜‚
Although to be honest this is the only gaming site I bother to make comments on. I did at one point make comments on n4g but I got banned for making a comment that offended a xbox fanboy, but I can't even remember what I said but I'm sure it wasn't anything too bad πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Re: Oh No, PS Plus Email Spam Has Suddenly Returned

TurboTom

I'm quite certain they already started again for me a while ago. But I'm sure it was just one email after I add the games rather that two or three if I decide to add them all each month. However I always delete the emails anyway lol.

Re: Wreckfest 2 Plots a Crash Course with PS5

@UnlimitedSevens
Cool, I've never tried the Spotify feature on ps5 to be honest and didn't on ps4 either. I've never been too bothered with listening to music while playing games, but I do in racing games though. I used to love the soundtrack on Destruction Derby 2 back in the day.

Re: PS5's Astro Bot Doesn't Support PSVR2 Because It Was Never Designed to Do So

TurboTom

@Axelay71
VR is something I would like to try, however I don't know anyone who has PSVR2 to give it a try. I do sometimes suffer with travel sickness so don't want to invest in something than expensive without being certain it won't make me feel dizzy. Also as someone with OCD then I think all the extra wires and mess would drive me mad πŸ˜‚ although to my understanding the PSVR2 has less wires etc than the first one.

@Axelay71
I can appreciate that it is disappointing for people that got a PSVR2 headset, that Sony dosent seem to be supporting it properly. However after what happened with PSVITA (which admittedly I didn't own either) then people shouldn't be too supriced really. Did Sony do a better Job supporting the first PSVR? I never took much notice of it to be honest.

Re: Halo 1 Remaster Being Considered for PS5, New Report Claims

TurboTom

I used to love halo on the original xbox and xbox 360 too. I never played halo 4, 5 or infinite though. If they bring halo and gears over to ps5, then I would definitely be interested in purchasing those games for my ps5 even though I don't really like giving Microsoft any money if i can help it, lol

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for May 2024 Announced

TurboTom

Nice, I was wanting to get FC 24 for ps5 as not got a football game for it yet, although I have a ps4 fifa game. I think the first ghost runner was on playstation plus too, but I will have to check my library to make sure. Just out of interest, could someone please inform me about the destiny dlc, is it a standalone single player experience? Not really interested otherwise πŸ˜‚

Re: Avatar Game Gets a Rare 40FPS Mode in New PS5 Patch

TurboTom

Nice one, I have had this game since December and not started it yet lol. I have a LG c1, so will definitely play it at 40 fps. Other games I have yet to buy and play include God of war ragranok and horizon forbidden west, so will do the same with them too. I like higher image quality and not too sensitive to lower frame rate as long as it is stable or offers a 40 fts mode so this is perfect for me. This is a good example of waiting to play games when they are cheaper and or better than when first released.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for December 2023 Announced

TurboTom

I'm happy with this selection to be honest. What I love about playstation plus, apart from playing worms wmd online with my mate and the occasional online on other games is it encourages me to try new games that I wouldn't bother with otherwise. I've been enjoying wreckfest on playstation plus and just a few trophies away from the platinum. I also quite fancy downloading and trying the ps5 golf game that was given the other month too.

Re: It's Clear to See Why Sony Isn't Calling the New PS5 Model 'Slim'

TurboTom

I was going to wait until the new design was revealed until I got a ps5, but I decided to get one the other month on sale for Β£400. I didn't like the design at first but it Is growing on me a bit, it is the fin parts than bothered me mainly but they don't stand out too much when horizontal. I think the new one does look slightly better with the shorter fins sticking out, but apart from that there is not much difference.

Re: PS5 Designer Mark Cerny Nerds Out About New Dolby Atmos Addition

TurboTom

@GamingFan4Lyf
Thanks for the advice mate, I will definitely play around with the profile settings. I normally only use my headphones late at night or when the weather is very hot and my fan is on full blast, so i can hear over the loud fan lol

I managed to find the settings for 3D audio through tv/ soundbar. Although I turned it off after a bit to be honest, lol. My living room isn't that large and the sound from my sound bar does a good job of filling the room with high quality sound. I'm not that keen on virtual surround sound to be honest, I have a LG C1 and it also has a virtual surround sound using AI but I wasn't bothered using that either.

Re: PS5 Designer Mark Cerny Nerds Out About New Dolby Atmos Addition

TurboTom

@GamingFan4Lyf
Cheers for the reply. When I set up the ps5 and looked at audio settings, I selected tv speakers rather than sounbar as I read somewhere that it is better to do that than to selected soundbar, if the soundbar is Just used on its own and not a surround set up, or I read something similar to that. However I'm quite sure than the 3D option is blanked out, and can't be selected, I will have to check again, but perhaps it could be to do with the latest firmware update

Regarding the headphones, I didn't notice much difference in stereo sound vs 3D mode. Perhaps I need to give the different pre sets a good try to find the right one. Although maybe I haven't played any games yet which best demonstrate the 3D sound, so far I'm playing astro bot and rachet and clank.

Re: PS5 Designer Mark Cerny Nerds Out About New Dolby Atmos Addition

TurboTom

I have a question if anyone knows the answer. I recently got a ps5 in the sale and I also got the wireless pulse 3D headphones. To be honest I don't notice much difference between the surround sound or standard with the headphones, perhaps I'm using the wrong setting or something. Anyway my question is to do with the tempest audio through my soundbar, I use a bose soundbar but it is not surround set up. Do I need to do something in the settings to get virtual 3D tempest through the soundbar? I do have the sound output set to tv speakers on my ps5 as always use the soundbar instead of the tv speakers. Although to be honest the sound on my bose soundbar is excellent anyway and I can't imagine any kind of virtual support sound making much difference πŸ€”

Re: June 2023 Circana: PS5 Posts Best PlayStation Results in 15 Years

TurboTom

@Rob_230
I could be wrong but I don't think ps5 was on sale in July in the usa like it was and currently is here in the UK. We are already in August, so if the rumoured 50 dollar discount starts this month, then it won't have a effect on July's circana are whatever the stupid word is πŸ€” πŸ˜‚

Re: PS5 Sales Live Now in More Regions, Save $50/Β£75

TurboTom

@Darylb88
Interesting, thanks for the replys. I do wonder though if that will be a mistake for sony, because they mainly sell the physical version anyway. Although without the option it will force more people to go digital. Do you think Β£400 will be the new price for digital only going forward?

Re: PS5 Sales Live Now in More Regions, Save $50/Β£75

TurboTom

@Darylb88
I think sony will probably still sell it in two different versions, with disk drive and without. With how you explain it then it would still be more simple for sony to manufacture the single unit and just add the disk drive and appropriate covers when putting it together πŸ€” it does seem a bit of a hassle though for people buying the digital version and upgrading it to a disk drive but makes sense for sony i sopose. Yeah I will probably try and get one in the new week or so on sale.

Re: PS5 Sales Live Now in More Regions, Save $50/Β£75

TurboTom

@Darylb88
That is a bit disappointing then if that Is all the new model is going to be. I was hoping it would at least look a little smaller and compact / neater. Perhaps they will bring out a slim model when they launch ps5 pro next year, like they did with ps4 slim / ps4 pro. I might consider getting a ps5 in the next few weeks then at the discounted price, if there is no difference with the new rumoured model. I could always trade it in if there is actually a ps5 slim this year and it looks much better πŸ€” πŸ˜‚

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Release Date Reportedly Slated for November 2024

TurboTom

In the article it says the rumoured new model for this year is not a slim and is to to replace the current one. I would be a little disappointed if it just looks the same as it does now with the only difference being the detachable drive. Part of the reason I haven't got a ps5 yet, is because I hate the design, also if the new design for this year is similar in shape and size as it already is, then the pro one next year must be massive lol.

Re: PS5 Console Discounts Set to Expand to USA and UK, It's Claimed

TurboTom

If the rumoured pricing is right, then it will probably be Β£400 or Β£420 or something similar. Β£404 dosent sound right, or maybe that is just my ocd making me think like that πŸ€” actually if I had my way I would do away entirely with anything costing .99 and instant round everything off to the nearest pound πŸ’· πŸ˜‚
