drahkon Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 So...Trump losing today and tomorrow some sweet, sweet PS5 news? That would be great
Julius Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Some PlayStation 5 support videos have just gone up: I won't lie, this got me hyped game presets in particular are probably the highlight: Edited November 5, 2020 by Julius 1
drahkon Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Ohhhh...the tease is real Really hope the embargo lifting tomorrow rumour turns out to be true. I NEED IT!
drahkon Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Embargo's lifting early: Spoiler Oh no... Spoiler 3
Ganepark32 Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 New gameplay trailer put out on the Belgian PlayStation Twitter account showing some of the other areas of the game that haven't been covered by last weeks previews: Continues to look great. Can't wait to play this while other bits download.
Jimbob Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Yeah, people have been talking about it on social media. As soon as you mention it was in a glass box, it goes quiet. Also, you won't be able to add internal SSD memory into the PS5 at launch Makes sense, seeing as there's not a lot out (if anything) that matches PS5 speeds
Julius Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 (edited) Review time! And DF's backwards compatibility video: Pretty glowing! Edited November 6, 2020 by Julius
Happenstance Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Review embargo is up for the PS5 reviews. Too many popping up on my feeds to repost!

All that concern in the past few months for nothing Reviews pretty much all saying the same thing: PS5 is the real deal for next-gen. So happy I could get my pre-order in and actually afford it. Cannot wait
Hero-of-Time Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 It seems like they absolutely nailed the console. However, my biggest issue is the launch line up and it's why i'm happy to sit on the sidelines until things get fleshed out a little more. I respect that they are supporting the PS4 and PS5 with the same games but when I invest in a new console I want my exclusives. I imagine I will pick mine up when Ratchet arrives. Come to think of it, I don't think i've ever bought a Sony console or handheld at launch. I've always waited at least 6 months. Hope you guys who are getting it at launch enjoy your new console. I look forward to reading all about your PS5 adventures in a couple of weeks time. 2 1

martinist Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Apparently ShopTo have changed the state of my PS5 pre-order from "Dispatching after release" to "Confirmed for day one" Sent a ticket to confirm, would be nice to actually get it on release after that debacle they put me through. 3

Come to think of it, I don't think i've ever bought a Sony console or handheld at launch. I've always waited at least 6 months. Smart move. I was late to the party for both PS3 and PS4, which obviously meant cheaper hardware plus way more games that I was interested in playing. No plans to get a PS5 though, especially since I’ve returned to PC for my non-Nintendo gaming needs. So far I’m very happy with that decision too, games are a bit cheaper, no subscription required to play them online, and I don’t need to worry about Sony’s political correctness/censorship or you know... them randomly deleting a game from their servers for no good reason. That’s right, I still haven’t forgotten about The Tomorrow Children. 2
Dcubed Posted November 6, 2020 Author Posted November 6, 2020 Very nice to hear that BC seems good so far. Was expecting a bit of a train wreck after Sony’s silence & pussyfooting communication surrounding the matter! 1
Julius Posted November 6, 2020 Posted November 6, 2020 Got the notifications from my bank a few minutes ago that GAME has started charging my account doesn't look like there'll be any issues there as I was concerned about! Thank goodness... Watched a few videos, but didn't want to dive too deep. So far it's been the Easy Allies impressions video, their review of Miles Morales, Digital Foundry's backwards compatibility video, and Greg Miller's UI walkthrough for Kinda Funny, all of which I really enjoyed. Don't think I'll be checking out too much more before release, probably just the Digital Foundry stuff on Miles Morales and Demon's Souls, and the EZA review for Demon's Souls probably, too; judging from us not getting Demon's Souls reviews today, I guess that's what they'll be saving until next Tuesday to get in on the next-gen hype with the launch of the Series X | S, which would be a smart move. 7 hours ago, drahkon said: Edit: Then again: Quote PS5 Tells You How Long You've Played Games--Including Previous PS4 Play Time Source Yeah 3D audio, adaptive triggers, and haptic feedback are all interesting, but this is actually the thing which put a massive grin on my face when I see your post earlier. I'm stupidly excited for this, and I know I shouldn't be. They're just numbers! But then, I do love numbers... Doesn't seem to be there for all games just yet (in the Greg Miller UI walkthrough he has a friend at 58% of trophies on Overwatch and it says they've only played for 2 hours...I mean, that would be very efficient, but I doubt it ) but it's my favourite feature of the 3DS and the somewhat limited capacity it was in place for looking back at hours spent on the Wii in the calendar (I always loved getting the Wii out every summer and reminiscing about the Christmas I opened it, looking at the ridiculous number of hours spent on Smash Bros. Brawl and Wii Sports Resort). Would love if they added a calendar at some point to this for that reason too! 6 hours ago, Hero-of-Time said: It seems like they absolutely nailed the console.

I look forward to reading all about your PS5 adventures in a couple of weeks time. Playing on a base PS4 is honestly the main reason I've been hellbent on an upgrade, because boy have some games chugged on it over the last two years or so. Swear I've been in airports quieter than my room the first time I booted up VII Remake and The Last of Us Part II I would want to say I would've done the sensible thing like you H-o-T, and waited if I had a Pro or wasn't super interested in the exclusives (having not played a Souls game and loving to start from the beginning when I dive into a new series or genre though, Demon's Souls was definitely a massive draw for me too), but at the same time, knowing myself...I don't think I would have waited particularly long and would have just jumped on the second wave of pre-orders anyway! Hope Ratchet doesn't take too long to drop so that you can join us on the dark side sooner rather than later! 2
Julius Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Seems like some good news for those going digital. Worth noting that it was tested while connected with an ethernet cable, so the new WiFi chip wouldn't come into play in this scenario. Of course varies depending on your internet download speed, but some five to eight times faster is still a remarkable improvement over the download speeds of the PS4. 1
Julius Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Digital Foundry have just put up their UI tour: And GameXplain has put up a Q&A: Reading around, it seems the most disappointing thing could potentially be the DualSense's battery life, but mainly because it is going to wildly fluctuate depending on your use of its unique new features and the game which you are playing. I've read that settings such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers are automatically configured at max settings from the start, and so something like Astro's Playroom (filled to the brim with uses for these new features) will likely be the fastest way to drain the battery, as it doesn't seem like it would last much longer than the length of that game on a full charge (reportedly 5 - 6 hours of playtime from the controller in this particular game). But then, something like Miles Morales, which will have fewer uses throughout of the DualSense's main features when compared with Astro's, apparently can last anywhere from 8 - 13 hours, a slight improvement on the DualShock 4's, but still, I had personally hoped for a bit more. I can only imagine it being a similar case for Demon's Souls, and of course while you can turn these settings down, when they're the main selling points of the controller, it does seem like a little bit of a letdown that the controller doesn't last much longer than the DualShock 4 would. Not the biggest deal in the world, and by no means a deal breaker, but it's the only thing that I've seen brought up which has given me pause. Just means I need to cross my fingers harder that PlayStation bring out their own higher end controller down the line!
