Any recommendations on racers? Ordered dirt 2.0. Tried out gran turismo sport just going through my drivers licence. Take it assetto corsa competizione is locked to 30fps like xbox? Plays so choppy on xbox.

Though my main focus is on PC gaming at the moment, I was pleasantly surprised by the recent Ratchet and Clank giveaway.
Such a great game, really enjoying it.

Yeah I am loving it too.
Speaking of which the new batch of Play at Home games are available in the UK/EU from tomorrow.

Enter the Gungeon
Rez Infinite
Subnautica
The Witness
Astro Bot Rescue Mission
Moss
Thumper
Paper Beast
Always wanted to give Subnautica a go and I adore Rez but I've never had a go at Infinite so I'll definitely be giving that a shot. I don't have VR but I'll take 5 free games any day.

I wonder if these PS4 PSVR titles will be backward compatible with PSVR 2 on PS5...

Extreme bumpage…
I replaced the hdd in my PS4 Pro the other week with a 1tb Crucial MX500, and have been pretty happy with the results.
Have quite a few games I want to play through, but loading times were just a little too extreme.
Has anyone here done this? I saw mixed feedback online, but it’s definitely been worth the small cost.

Yep I had the same one in my PS4 Pro, it was great. Really helped with load times in most games, though some not so much e.g. Metro Exodus load times were still excruciating, but others like RDR2 were much quicker. I use that drive for PS4 game storage with my PS5 now.

I don’t think I’d ever play Metro on the PS4. I saw a comparison video for Exodus load times SSD/HDD on PS4 Pro and it was insane!

Well I've dusted off my PS4. Haven't turned it on for almost 3 years.
Got back into PC gaming during that time and also moved house, so it got boxed up and never re-opened.
I work from home primarily now so spend most of the day sat at my desk in the spare room on my work laptop and monitor, so last thing I feel like doing is going back up there to spend more time sat in front of a monitor.
So I can now kick back on the sofa a couple of times a week in the evening and play through the games I've missed. Good thing is games are nice and cheap, so picked up Spiderman and LOU2 for £30 combined. There's a load of other games I've missed out on.
Would love a PS5 but availability is poor and price is high. So I've got a load of games to catch up on and hopefully in that time, the stock and pricing situation should improve.

Shadow Warrior 3 is a fun shooter/hack'n'slash.
Stock fans are fine as long as you keep the system clean and replace the thermal paste especially with the older pro models. I've done mine twice in 3 years and its very quiet. Changing the fan on its own rarely helps.
PS4 Pro Disassembly: Ultimate Guide for Fan Cleaning and Thermal Paste Replacement
The step-by-step repair guide shows how to fix PlayStation 4 Pro overheating. Disassemble and properly clean fan from dust on ps4 pro 2nd gen model: CUH-7200...

It's most likely full of dust. Take it apart and clean it and replace the thermal paste at the same time.
Just brought a 1TB SSD to install into my old fat PS4. Spontaneously went into Game to other day and picked up Control, BF Hardline, Division 2 and AC Valhalla for about £30 all in (AC was £20). I've also still got to play Days Gone, AC Odyssey, Horizon and finish off Mass Effect Andromeda (which oddly enough, I've had a blast with). That should see be through for a couple of years at least haha.
Done and wow the difference lol. Its gone from a jet engine to pretty quiet.
Annoyed tho. Had ine screw left over from the rebuild lol
