If I recall correctly, Sonic 2 on the Game Gear was (almost) the same version as on the Master System, that is, a completely different game from the Mega Drive version.

Looks great, finally we have a non-'retro' looking 2D metroidvania game. But I, as many others, am disappointed that it's a rogue-whatever. I don't like randomized maps/world.

@Kuromiano really? You're asking why?

Okay, maybe you've missed it. Maybe you've missed what's going on in the world... I will re-post my message one more time.

...
It's so sad to see here all the people who "don't care if it's russian". By supporting russian developers, you support more war, more hostility, more killings. It's sad to see that Sony releases the game at all.

Full boycott the game for me. I am Ukrainian, yes. They are shelling our cities, killing, raping, torturing our people just because we don't like pseudo-communist ideas and just because we dare to have our own culture and history.
By buying this game you support genocide.

And yes, the average russian citizen are all in the wrong here, not only their government, because they all support this war.

You can at least not support the war by not buying this russian-made game. By not buying any russian-made stuff.

But it's so far away from UK and US, and it's easy to just don't care, right?

I won't stop asking you all to boycott this game.

I don't know... the screenshot with James looking at the X-rays photos looks like a screenshot from PS3 game.

@Sil_Am looks a bit childish / cartoonish but I believe such design has been chosen deliberately

Is Spider-Man Remastered available to buy on PS5 separately from Miles Morales?

Subscribed to Deluxe but will downgrade to Extra eventually if the PS1 catalog is not expanded. It's just not worth it... like, I installed the three games I was interested in - Resident Evil, Abe's Odyssey and Syphon Filter. Played a bit Abe's Odyssey and deleted it as I completed it in Steam half a year ago. Two games remain. Once I complete it, that would be it.

We need instructions on how to downgrade PS+ tier properly. Say, if my Deluxe ends on 01/06/2023, how to continue with Extra from 02/06/2023? Should I switch to Extra beforehand, or should I disable auto-renewal and wait until my Deluxe just ends, and then buy Extra as if had not subscribed to PS+ at all?

Where is Assassin's Creed: Syndicate in this list?

My LG TV automatically switched to 'Game' mode for both PS5 and XSX. What's the point in this setting, to tell 'stupid' TVs to switch to Game mode?

Steins;Gate is one of the most wonderful, interesting, clever VNs ever.

Hopefully it won't be censored on PlayStation.

Hopefully it won't be like Flashback 2013.

The new Ellie looks like a totally different person...

'Footage captured on PC'
I'm wondering what was the video card they were using to show this, a pretty old one I believe, or why the 20-something FPS in the video?.. Or is the game such unoptimized?

I would happily upgrade my physical copy of the first game to this for $10 (like some other games upgrades to PS5 versions are proposed).

@theMEGAniggle @dschons It used to have the same texture flickering problems on PS4Pro. I believe you played the game on a PS4Pro? Eventually they released a patch for it. They just need to "port the same patch" to PS5.
AC Syndicate have never had any issues on base PS4 except severe flickering in the main menu (already) right after the game booted - closing the game and re-running it one more time always helped for me.

Hopefully all the PS1 games are going to be internally rendered at increased resolution, not just upscaled.

Just finished New 'n' Tasty main campaign (but still playing through Alf's Escape) and I would happily replay the original game. It's just so good!

Looking at the screenshots here, I would choose the default filter. Like @MiaowMinx said, the scanlines were not that visible on CRTs unless you sit very close to the screen, therefore not many emulated games do look better with it enabled.
The 'modern' filter here is probably just a (slight) anti-aliasing, but it's too dark.

@tomassi AC Syndicate has severe flickering textures issues on PS5, to the degree that the game is almost unplayable because looking at it will make your eyes burn. This is the same bug that used to plague the game running on a PS4 Pro, but they made a patch for it. I believe that making 'the same' patch for PS5 is a no-brainer, but Ubi doesn't care about this game for some reason. They even removed it from the Store on PS5.
Last time I played it, I had to play it on PS4, even though I already had a PS5.

AC Unity is fully playable and has no issues on PS5.

This game might be a good way for many people to feel what Ukrainian people are experiencing these days.

Assassin's Creed Syndicate needs a patch to just run properly on the PS5 at all. I had to buy it on Xbox - it has no issues running on the Series X. It is still unplayable on PS5, sadly. But seems that Ubisoft just doesn't care.

@The_Moose @PenguinL isn't Back 4 Blood basically a Left 4 Dead 3?

Does the game have single player campaign?

Sony just needed to hire RPCS3 core developer team and investing millions of bucks and spending several years on the project would not be needed.

Will PS Now expand to new regions?

@LtSarge I believe many gamers will happily pay just 3 more bucks to get access to a catalog of old games. But the Extra tier costs too much already…

A good month for me because of Sonic.

I've skipped the first PSVR, but will buy PSVR2, this will be my first ever VR to try. Although, I hope for it to be backwards compatible with existing games.

Playing Steins Gate: Linear Bounded Phenogram and Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty.

Thanks for warning, will buy it on Xbox then.

Still waiting for Syndicate patch for PS5...

From what I see, PS+ is trending to be less and less attractive, while GamePass to be more and more.
Nevertheless, at least one useful function of PS+ remains: syncing saves with the cloud, which gives the ability to easily jump playing from one of your PS's to another.

Okay, I've just checked throwing an audio CD and an audio CD-R into the PS5 and XSX.
Xbox launched a "Groove" application which started playing music from both my CD and CD-R (it even downloaded some covers to display while playing).
PS5 continued to spin the disc indefinitely (after waiting for about 1 minute, I ejected the disc), that was true for both the CD-R and pressed CD.
That means, we can make a conclusion that the PS5 does not read CD (but it's unknown if it's a software or hardware limitation), while the Xbox Series X can, at least, play audio CDs.
Both consoles have Ultra-HD Blu-Ray drives.

Even cheapest BD-ROM PC drives can read CDs. I just don't believe that Sony purposely scrapped this functionality on hardware level.

@TheRedComet but it's most probably a software issue, which could be fixed in a firmware update. All of my BluRay players/recorders work perfectly fine with CD and CD-R media.

And yet again Sony doesn't care about backwards compatibility... it's pathetic.

I finished Syndicate on my base PS4. This and Shadow Of The Colossus (which has blurred textures on PS5) were the last games before I moved the PS4 to my old room at my parent's home.

Hopefully there won't be any more games that won't run properly on PS5. Although, DOOM (2016) and SOMA have flickering textures in a few places (not annoying really) on PS5.

I dream of just one more PS Vita sale. There won't be.
But I still want a discount for Tales of Hearts R.

@Futureshark I doubt that it would fit into the PS5. The heatsink of that SSD is too thick.

Far Cry 2 is better for me than Far Cry 1. I haven't played any others.

I only dream of Tales of Hearts R being discounted again, just one more time.

Is there a reason to trust any rumours about Konami and Silent Hill?

@kyleforrester87 Sony says that Axiom Verge 2 is playable on PS5. Have you tried it?

@johncalmc Because having installed 40 games ready to play on the console is better than 5 — you can scroll through them left and right, and vice versa... and choose... what do I want to play today, right now?.. This? Or maybe this? No, this one!

In reality, however, for some users, like you or myself, this won't be needed at all. I prefer playing one, in some rare cases two games, at a time. If I'm playing Assassin's Creed Syndicate these days, I will be playing it until I finish it. I don't WANT to play another game. I want to fully immerse myself into the Victorian era of the game.

But there are many players who indeed play not even several, but MANY games at once. I know gamers who play 6 to 10 various games per day. Those gamers will play probably the same games next day, but it's again 6 to 10 games per day!
They need much storage on the console to live like that. 😅

Why to refit the slot cover after installing the SSD? I believe the cooling would be better without covering the slot. With the cover, hot air will be accumulating very fast...

@Dezzy70 I don't see PS5 as something totally different from a computer. You can't just plug-and-play an M.2 SSD into a PC - you have to remove the side plate (or whatever) of your computer case, take a screwdriver, locate that M.2 slot and very, very carefully (!) insert the SSD into it and tighten it with the screwdriver. Not very user friendly, but if that stopped you from doing it, you'd probably called a specialist to help. I don't see why it has to be any different with the PS5. The console is a technological piece of hardware and should be taken with care and only if you know what you're doing.

Looking forward to trying that tennis game... I like tennis. As for the other two... I don't care.
It's a weak month this time.
