Woogy

Forza Horizon coming to PlayStation in the spring.

You’re able to wish list it now.

I think it says more about these online non-entities that are so triggered by video game.

Is it really all you’ve got to worry about in your life?!

As a disabled gamer myself, I am grateful I still use the DualSense (right now). I have it positioned in such a way in my lap so I am not actually taking the weight of it in my arms.

This is a great concept though. I had resigned myself to the fact, due to my progressive condition, the PS5 and Series X may be my last consoles... or so I thought. Maybe not with this sort of hardware.

I wonder, does it have the ability to vibrate about it somewhere? Like haptic feedback. If so, it would be a good idea if the sensitivity of that is also adjustable on the controller, not only within a games settings, as many are now. Not everyone needs the default setting.

@sanderson72 Who says 'buy digital'?

I can only imagine people that don't prioritise picture and sound quality.

@get2sammyb I live to give

I am so fed up with Sony, their prices and strategy and the fact they won't embrace Dolby and pay for Dolby licensing that I've gone to the dark side... I've bought an Xbox.

I am going to be playing Sniper Elite 5 tomorrow morning at 08.01am via gamepass. I've already pre-loaded the game.

@BartoxTharglod I've got to the bottom of the problem.

It is because Sony isn't using Freesync to utilise VRR. Sony are relying on the HDMI 2.1 standard for VRR delivery.

This doesn't only exclude Panasonic TV owners like myself, but also countless monitor owners that solely rely on Freesync.

A crazy decision on Sony's part, especially when you consider the processor used in the PS5 is made by AMD.

I'm seriously thinking of getting a series X for all my day to day gaming and keeping the PS5 for the Sony exclusives only.

@BartoxTharglod Yes, as previously stated, it states up to 120Hz in the SDR and HDR menu and I can play Dirt 5 at 120Hz but, it is locked at 120Hz and not variable.

I think I'm going to raise a support ticket with Panasonic.

Thanks again though for your replies.

@BartoxTharglod Thank you for your reply and taking the time to do screenshots.

Where on your info banner under 'information for the connected HDMI device' mine says 48-60Hz, regardless of whether I have a game playing or not. Dirt 5 is locked at 120hz, it isn't variable (the game's up to date).

And as I previously stated, I'm not the only fella over on AVForums, scratching their heads, with the same information being presented to them, via Panasonic and LG OLED TVs.

I'm watching football all weekend now but, I'll go through the motions of breaking down my set up Monday and re-seating the HDMI lead, after I replace it, just as a process of elimination. I already reset the TV.

Edit; actually, @BartoxTharglod can you please confirm what make and model TV you have?

@Reeneman there’s nothing wrong with my set up or anyone else’s over on AVForums.

The PS5 is offering conflicting information under the video resolution information menu. It confirms the TVs are capable of 120Hz in SDR and HDR but, then contradicts itself by claiming, as previously stated, 'the connected HDMI device only supports up to 60Hz'.

My TV plays Dirt 5 in (locked) 120Hz and was one of the first to be able to do so.

#frustrating

Check the information on your PS5 under video resolution information and tell me it says different to mine.

It isn't working on PS5 games, not up to 120Hz.

LG and Panasonic owners are reporting that the PS5 claims via its dashboard (under video output information) 'the connected HDMI device only supports up to 60Hz' which clearly isn't true.

Another own goal Sony.

True to form, Sony has royally fudged up the introduction of VRR. Lots of TV owners are being informed via their PS5 dashboard their respective TVs are only capable of VRR up to 60Hz, which isn't true.

To contradict itself, on the same dashboard menu via the PS5, it confirms the TVs are capable of up to 120Hz in SDR and HDR.

Microsoft has the hardware, PlayStation the games.

I hate Sony's half-arsed way they've implemented object based surround sound cos this 3D audio nonsense doesn't cut it, as well as VRR (for some games only, pfft).

And Sony won't embrace Dolby Vision in gaming, just nuts.

So, another fumbled 'upgrade' by Sony'

The so-called 3D audio doesn't work OOTB with every game and now this cock up of an implementation of VRR.

Why Sony, why? Why do you insist on doing things the hard way?!

Jaysus, all the whining here about the remake not being necessary are some of the same people that bought other remakes of Resident Evil etc.

You don't speak for everyone and I have no doubt whatsoever a remake of TLOU, one of the best games ever PERIOD, will sell by the absolute bucket load.

@barffy194 I was attacked by a pelican on Nissi Beach in Cyprus.

Whilst laying down it clearly thought my head was edible. Bloody breathe stunk.

The pelicans, not mine.

@lolwhatno Well, it isn't awful but, as VT explains, if you've an LG, it may be undesirable in some instances, game pending I suppose.

Sony have introduced 'ALLM' (auto low latency mode) with this update, albeit secretly. This disables many of your TVs picture mode settings, if you have an LG, and automatically switches to game mode, if you have a Sony.

Go check Vincent Teoh's video on Youtube for an explanation (I don't believe I can post the link here).

I don't like the Dual Sense for the simple reason it isn't designed to last. I've got two and they've both been replaced due to the cheap components used.

I'm not exactly a hard core gamer or able to stress the units out due to limited dexterity and still both R2 triggers have failed and the replacements are on their way out too.

Why can't Sony give us a pro controller option?!

@playstation1995 Blimey, BDK! I haven’t listened to him in a while. It felt like I was the only person in the world around me that had heard of Big Daddy. The Wrath of Kane is hard.

The world and his wife love COD. Personally, I hate FPS anything and so I'm excited for the next Sniper Elite.

@playstation1995 #Throw ya gunz in tha air#

I used to listen to old school electro records when I was a teen (which sparked my interest in hip hop) and I've only ever worn Adidas thanks to those fellas from Hollis.

Favorite old school track is Strong Island by JVC Force followed by Talkin' all that Jazz by Stetsasonic.

Word up to you son .

Bought the game on disc for the PS4 Pro in 2017, now have a PS5 digital and the game's amongst my collection but, only as a PS Plus version and so unable to upgrade for a tenner.

Surely, this is an anomaly that needs to be addressed.

Happily pay a tenner for a visual and performance upgrade but, no way will I pay £45.

Sent Sony support an email with proof of purchase in 2017 attached.

@RobN it is that simple. Sony won’t pay for the licensing and so developers can’t incorporate it accordingly.

Don’t apologise for Sony and the crap offering that is their 3D audio.

It’s too restrictive, only of any use to the minority who may have one of the dozen odd titles that utilise it.

3D audio is the update I've been waiting for and it's only today I find out it only works with certain games... WT actual F.

What is the damn point Sony?! Utterly useless.

Who is going to take the time to toggle on and off the 3D sound, as well as determining which games actually utilise it?

Bloody pointless. Just pay Dolby for Atmos.

The new version has a smaller heat sink which generates more heat, as much as 3c-5c - https://www.theverge.com/2021/8/29/22646963/sony-new-ps5-model-lighter-smaller-heatsink-teardown

@JohnnyShoulder Play it online, with fifteen other people chap.

That is where the fun is at .

Seeing as there is hardly anything of actual PS5 games, seeing Wreckest getting a dedicated upgrade patch for the PS5 would be most welcome.

It is by a country mile the best pick up and play racer of the last gen, as well as current gen.

However, on my LG OLED it is a judder fest via the PS5 and I've had to adjust the 4K transfer rate from 'automatic' to -1 to solve it.

Jaysus! When did FIFA change from being just a pick up and play football game to this crap?

You support a team, you play as that team. End of story.

This isn't the only issue facing the DualSense.

There's also the incredibly weak R2 triggers.

Jaysus, could Sony have fudged this up anymore with the PS5?!

Oh yer, their half-arsed way they force HDR.

@AdamNovice what's the source for your 10% statistic?

Scalpers are a real and persistent problem and will remain opportunist scum, taking advantage of the situation unless something changes.

I'm all for a pre-order system, that gives retailers the opportunity to vet buyers.

@si2525 Yer, we've been here before with you and your incendiary comments, haven't we?!

YOU are part of the problem as you had two and sold one at an inflated price.

Now go away.

@get2sammyb my update was nothing like 3gb.

Try 400mb, already installed earlier, along with an update for Wreckfest, which dwarfed the MGS one.

Edit; I should add, I have the definitive edition and it was a very small update file.

@Jacko11 Exactly. I've just bought a camo DS4 from ShopTo to play PS4 games on the PS5 with as the DualSense is weak as duck.

I wish I hadn't given away my TLOU2 DS4 with my Pro now in December.

I buy a game and that's it.

Micro transactions are a mugs game aimed at kids and should be outlawed.

Ala Jarvis Cocker, duck buying stuff in game.

3D is as dead as disco.

Time of death on 3D in the home = 2012.

The insatiable appetite for the PS5 will be tempered once the masses all start to experience the weak link in the system, the DualSense.

It's no fun having to keep sending your controller away only for it to be replaced with a like for like piece of crap.

Whoever did quality control on this thing needs taking out back and be given a good talking to.

The R2 trigger is not fit for purpose in its current state.

And it doesn't like feedback when you're trying to accelerate in a racing game like Dirt5. It constantly clicks, as you try to squeeze and it pushes against you.

That isn't natural.

The forum on this website has numerous people experiencing the same issue with the R2 trigger, and there are loads more over on AVForums too.

It's no consolation to anyone that doesn't have a console but, as an early adopter I expected problems with software, not hardware.

The Dual Sense is a piece of crap.

Who tested this prior to release?!

£60 for a controller with the lifespan of a few hours. The R2 trigger is not fit for purpose.

My fond memory and craving for DD has been satisfied by Wreckfest.

Now if only somebody would bring back Blur...

Tempest 3D AudioTech over HDMI?

Or just via headphones?

The lack of any advance in surround sound and no support for object-based surround is one of the biggest let downs for me so far with the PS5.

I've just reported those listings via Amazon chat.

Scalpers, fudge 'em. Or words to that effect.

@JJ2 listings from scalpers.

They'll be taken down soon by Amazon.

@si2525 You yourself said in post #51 you had two PS5's and sold one for profit.

Ergo, you are part of the problem.

And yet you've got the brass ones to continue to sit here, pontificating, post after post, about it's everyone else's own fault.

Wind your neck in.

@Futtbuck Mug.

I have a PS5 (digital).

Disappointed one of the two dual sense's I have, the right trigger has already gone. Subsequently been returned.

And that's just from playing PS4 games, with the exception of Dirt 5.

I'd hope they would be a bit more reliable than that, seeing as my previous two dual shocks lasted the life of my PS4 Pro.

@get2sammyb This website is invaluable.

Thanks for the heads up.

The biggest issue I have with the PS5 is the fact they've carried over this ridiculous always on function with HDR from their UHD players.

Now I can check games in an instant on whether they are native in HDR, rather than force it because at the moment, HDR is off.

@Saucymonk A few?!

If you're trying to wind people up, jog on.

Seeing as IO has revealed that it has “already started working on RT (ray tracing) technology for the renderer in our Glacier engine, and once that’s deemed ready for prime time, we’ll definitely bring it to the Series X|S hardware.”, I shall wait until the same announcement arrives re the PS5 version.

Then I shall commit to purchase but, not before.

I bought this when I had the PS4 Pro and put off playing it until I got the PS5.

Now I shall put it to the bottom of the list of my games to play and wait and see what happens re a native port.
