Poll: *The Official PlayStation 5 (PS5) Thread*

[Scort]

Not to mention all the games I never got to play on the PS4 that now come with major graphical upgrades. With near full BC it's probably one of the best launches that I can remember and we've never had it so good in terms of performance and visuals. Looking forward to RE8 and R&C in the coming months.

Ay? I'm pretty sure that only a few PS4 titles got a fancy PS5 re-jig; the ones I know of being Ride 4 and ACV, as I have both and got to download a PS5 version of each. Not noticed an visual or performance boost (other than better load times) in the Witcher 3...

Witcher 3 is getting a free upgrade later on this year. Games I've played with enhancements are Borderlands 3, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, Jedi Fallen Order and Doom Eternal. There are many more but that's what I've played so far. Just Google a Reddit list of them.

Was going to get some but put straight in a virtual queue and Twitter said only digital bundles left

Yeah could be the reason why stock lasted so long. Hardly anyone wants the digital because stupidly digital version of games are like up to 2-3 times the price of disc version of games at times.

 

[Scort]

I see, hence the reason I've not seen any improvments

 

[KraniX]

Tbf resistance and motorstorm weren't bad, they were just very brown games, wasn't much color to them.

Killzone I'd like to see come back at some stage tbh

I agree, not bad games but not system sellers, particularly for a new generation.

Astro Bot might not have the impact Wii Sports did at shifting consoles but anyone who doesn't crack a smile playing that with the Dual Sense must be dead inside. Sony nailed it totally.

I do wish Nintendo had made more use of HD Rumble, the tech is great but the only showcase was 1-2 Switch...

We'll see about that... I hope so but I think the devs currently have a lot on their plate .

Ha yeah agreed. Other priorities right now!

 

[ic1male]

It's not CDPR who are doing The Witcher remaster, it's the people who did the Nintendo Switch port. Name escapes me.

 

[Converge]

Yeah like taking 3-4 months to fix driving sensitivity and stop the police appearing out of thin air. Impressive.

Yes you're right, Saber Interactive are doing it so might be this year after all.

Got my PS5 yesterday, all up and running, a few bits downloaded plus saves etc. All good so far - not tried anything specific for PS5 yet as it were, but Days Gone, God of War and Division 2 all look and feel very slick compared to my PS4 Pro, nice to have a quiet room as well.

Are people using rest mode or is it still problematic? I've just been powering off so far.

I've been using Rest mode since launch, had 1 or 2 crashes on launch Firmware, but since the latest firmware it's been solid as a rock. Using external HDD too.

 

[Plainsong]

Yeah 100% rest mode here too. No issues.

 

[Diggsy]

Yeah 100% rest mode here too. No issues.

Same with my lad’s...zero issues

 

[TheVoice]

Rest mode seems fine these days, early on it seemed less stable with external storage always connected but I only connect mine when I need it so I've no idea if that's still the case or not.

The occasional restart helps keeps things running smoothly too.

 

[BowdonUK]

Which position do you guys have the PS5, standing up or on its side?

When I get one I was thinking of standing it up. But not sure if that is good or not.

 

[BowdonUK]

Game also dropped at half 9 stock lasted 70 minutes.

Shows demand is waining.

I just missed that. But I noticed the digital version seems to be the last to be sold.

Mine is standing up. It’s designed to be sat either way though. I don’t think it really matters though.

 

[old gamer]

Nope I was asleep

Got to the checkout clicked on pay and page never loaded

 

[Plainsong]

Mine is stood up behind the TV. As mentioned above to keep things nice and stable I do a full restart maybe once a week or at least every other week. Same as I do with all of my PC's and devices.
