I voted good but that was only because of Astro Bot lol. I'm supriced it is just called Astro Bot though, perhaps they will be updating it with more content over time so just call it Astro Bot 🤔

Cool, I quite enjoyed the last two games. Although Doom Eternal dragged on a bit and was definitely not a relaxing game to play lol

Something else for the pc master race to complain about 🙄 😂

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 😂

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.

Shame it is not a new game. I love rayman legends, I have it on ps4 so will probably play it again sometime on ps5, I just recently also got legends for my switch lite on sale and it is great fun in portable too

@TrannosaurusBex
I think sony stopped making ps4 pro but they continued to make the standard ps4 in limited quantities or something like that. I still have my ps4 pro, however now I have a ps5 I'm planning on trying to sell my ps4 pro if I can.

I think it was a waste of money when sony bought bungie, especially with no exclusive games. Perhaps this is a good thing if sony takes total control and we might get a decent single player exclusive game from them, or perhaps it will be playstation/ pc, but not xbox.

I think the Tim guy was probably just meaning games like call of duty/ Minecraft which are obviously already on playstation. I highly doubt either sony or Nintendo would allow game pass on their platforms. Although I could see Microsoft bringing more games in general to both playstation and Nintendo platforms.

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.

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 £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.

I love the traditional worms games, so hopefully they can still make them. I have put hundreds of hours into W.M.D, I hope Microsoft dosent gets its grubby paws on team 17, but if they need accuring then hopefully someone else and they keep it on playstation.

@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.

@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.

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 🤔

@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 🤔 😂

@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 £400 will be the new price for digital only going forward?

@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 🤔 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.

@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 🤔 😂

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.

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

Even though I was very disappointed with the showcase and was anxiously waiting for the big announcements that never happened lol. I will still try and watch them live when I can as I hate spoilers like a thumbnail on YouTube for example. I did however stop watching the xbox events years ago as they are even more boring and usually last longer too.

Actually come to think of it, the original Metal Gear solid 3 game was a ps2 exclusive too if I remember right. It was my favourite Metal Gear game, that I played anyway. I didn't like Metal Gear sold 2 and I never played 4 or 5 even though I have 5 through playstation plus I think

I always assumed that the rumoured exclusive ps5 Metal Gear game would be a remake of the original Metal Gear solid. I'm sure l read something about Blue point being involved and Mark Cerny too, that would make more sense I sopose with the original game once a playstation exclusive.

I do believe sony have paid quite a bit on some kind of exclusivity for GTA VI, maybe a couple of months console exclusive and or VR2 mode. I do remember first hearing things about it a few years ago it must be. It will be funny to see the reaction from the xbox crowd if it does happen. There should he no complaining after Microsofts recent publisher spending spree 🤔 😂

I don't like the idea of publishers getting bought like what Microsoft is trying to do with Activision. However if the rumours are true and sony is very interesting in reviving the IP then it might be a good idea for Sony to acquire Konami, just for the IP. We don't want uncle Phil opening up his check book, although hopefully Microsoft will have trouble buying any publishers now, especially the Japanese once.

To be honest I always thought they would do a pro premium version for ps5, but most people seem to think not. And next year makes sense if the rumoured slim model is releasing this year. It will probably be aiming at small premium marker with most sales been standard ps5. Also it won't be flooding the market with too many models because the rumoured slim model will apparently be the one model combining both physical and digital models, so the pro model will just be a option premium model with much higher price

I hope there is no chip shortage. I have some McCain oven chips in the freezer, but I think I prefer morris piper chunky chips actually 🤔 😂

Yeah maybe I shouldn't use forsaken as a example. I just wonder if i will see a big enough leap when I upgrade. But there should be more ps5 exclusive games releasing that show the potential now that the sales have increased.

That is good to hear, however I think I'm more concerned if the ps5 is powerfull enough to see through the generation without a pro model, games already seem to be getting low resolutions, I saw a article about forsaken having 720p or something like that. I'm still happy with my ps4 pro, but I'm waiting to see what the new redesign looks like first or to see if they do a ps5 pro. I got a LG C1 about a year ago, however it is 48 inch size so not too big for lower resolution if that is what ps5 starts to get. What I mean is lower resolution would look much worse if my tv was much bigger, but it depends how far away from the tv you sit too.

@middyone
Thanks for the suggestions, yeah I will get around to playing the dlc for the first game, but i will probably save forbidden west for when I upgrade to ps5

So is this studio now a part of playstation as part of Guerrilla, or a independent support studio? Perhaps this is a good thing and will free up some of Guerrilla staff to make something else too other than horizon 🤔 I haven't played forbidden west yet but I did find the first game a little boring after a while. I think I have the dlc for the first game if I can be bothered to play it sometime lol

I think they actually have three games in development. The last of us factions that we know of and I think the next game will be a new IP that is probably further along than we think, and my belief is they will release the last of us part 3 to end the generation, like with the last two games in the series. Or maybe I just hope that is what they do 🤔 😂

Unfortunately I have already seen a few spoilers on stupid YouTube thumbnails even though i have been avoiding looking at anything to do with God of war. Even one of My subscribed channels that I usually trust has uploaded a boss fight with the description saying minor spoiler but it is the stupid thumbnails that spoil things the most. Actually since I had a YouTube account it is not as bad with the spoilers, I used to keep myself logged out of YouTube thinking it would prevent spoilers but it was actually worse and I had the last God of was and uncharted 4 spoiled with doing that 😠

I do actually think Sony will make a ps5 pro, but just not at the same time as a ps5 slim. When sony originally unveiled the ps5 and the digital version, I did wonder how would they introduce a mid gen slim and pro model because it would be a lot of difference versions with and without a disk drive lol. However with this rumour of a standalone model than can be used as both, then I would imagine a pro model could come after and at that point It would just be the two models. However it is late and I'm tired so probably not making much sense 😴 😂

@BeerIsAwesome
Yeah that is the point I was trying to get across that people didn't buy the games but now complaining that the studio is no more lol. I never played many games from Japan studio myself to be honest, I was hoping they would remake ape escape as it was rumoured years ago if I remember right.

As much as it was disappointing that japan studio was closed, but the reality was that most of their games wasn't that successful, apart from the collaboration with games like bloodbourn and Damon souls etc. And it sounds like a lot of the staff will still be there but just as part of the Japanese division of xdev. There was probably too many chefs in the kitchen at the previous japan studio anyway 🤔

As for the prone thing, I sopose it makes sense really not to have it. Joel is the main character you control and he is quite old in the game, well much older than Ellie in past 2 anyway lol. For the few parts we play as Ellie she is still young so will have developed that skill as he got a bit older 🤔 😂

I'm looking forward to playing this game again on ps5 when I eventually get one lol. Sony been sending me invitations to buy one but I want to hold out a bit longer and get through some of my backlog. Also I don't like the look of the ps5 to be honest and as someone with OCD it is quite a big deal for me how things look, but I would get used to it eventually

@Beerheadgamer82
That's cool, don't think I played Blood Dragon. However far cry 3 is one of my favourite games, I played it for ps3 and ps4, I'm sure the ps4 version was included with far cry 5 for free.

@Beerheadgamer82
Yeah a different setting would be nice, although I couldn't bother to finish far cry primal to be honest. Far cry 5 has a few different dlc, one in Vietnam I think and a zombie one and something in space too

Nice offer, but don't think I will bother as don't want to rush it and I'm currently playing through far cry 4 on the ps4 anyway, I played it on ps3 but recently got the ps4 version on sale. Will probably get far cry 6 for the current generation when I upgrade at somepoint

Nice one, I remember having it for my amiga back in the day. Will add it to my ps4 and maybe my switch too if it is also available on there. I hardly use my switch lite, so this will be motivation to play it 😂

I think it will come sooner than people think to be honest. If there is a ps5 pro to go alongside a ps5 slim, the the ps5 pro would just become the more premium less available model, and ps5 slim would probably be easier to manufacture than the current model I imagine? Also I would imagine than the specs for any mid gen models would be decided years ahead and sony probably didn't expect the current chip problem 🤔

What I don't understand is why was there a loophole in the first place if sony dosent want people to use it 🤷‍♂️
Not that it matters to me as I wasn't considering upgrading until maybe when I have a ps5 and what games are available on it, but it is rubbish communication from Sony

@JJ2
That is true, I have watched some of his videos over the years. Although I haven't been interested in watching as much YouTube lately to be honest.

@JJ2
Well I think there is a lot of YouTube fanboy channels that could fit the description for both consoles lol. Yeah hopefully things improve soon, things like the pandemic and the ukraine war will probably have also had a impact.

@JJ2
Yeah I think i know who you mean, that Jeff grubb bloke or whatever his name is. However I do find it strange that Microsoft suddenly seem to be able to make more than Sony at the moment. Xbox can compete with playstation in USA and UK, but everywhere else Sony will sell a lot more if they can make enough. Perhaps the increase in xbox is with the series x model, seen as they apparently don't need to put them in the cloud server thing anymore, whatever it is called 🤷‍♂️

Nice one, I have had a LG C1 since last September, and will look forward to trying the feature out when I upgrade to next Gen, well it is actually current Gen now lol

I have seen a few articles suggesting that Microsoft have paid more for chip priority or something like that. If that is true then I think it is maybe a bit of arrogance from Sony to not pay more to get the parts to make more themselves, perhaps they think that if and when the production improves then they will outsell the competition. To be honest I have started to loose interest in even trying to find a ps5 with Sony putting a big focus on cross gen and putting games on pc. I will wait it out to see what the availability is like and what the next wave of ps5 exclusives are. I might even getting a xbox instead this generation, I haven't had one since the 360 so might make a nice change 🤔 🎮
