It seems next gen makes you look more like Tom Holland....

There is logic behind it:

This does bring us to one of the bigger changes. In order to bring the best performances to players with our next-generation Marvel’s Spider-Man games, we have recast the face of Peter Parker. We loved working with John Bubniak on the original game; however, to get a better match to Peter Parker/Spider-Man actor Yuri Lowenthal’s facial capture, we have cast Ben Jordan to be the face model for Peter Parker on the PS5 console. He looks incredible in-game, and Yuri’s moving performances take on a new life.

Any word on if gamesharing works yet?

Any word on if gamesharing works yet?

Yes. Same as before.

Stupid question, my PS+ says it is expecting tomorrow. Does that mean it’ll expired at midnight tonight or will I still have it tomorrow?

I just bought a new code off shopto but it isn’t showing it yet. I don’t want to let it expire as I’ll lose all the games.

You don’t lose the games, they’ll be there when you renew.

Oh shit really? Wow, I didn’t know that. Thanks, good to know for the future.

Thoughts about downloading games on launch day? Hopefully it'll be a solid experience?

Be a joke, slow as hell i would think, everyone lashing the ps store at the same time, servers won't cope.

My only hope is that there aren'y going to be *loads* of consoles day one, and the UK is split from other territories for a week, although with different servers maybe that wouldn't have been an issue anyway.

If the launch on the 12th is a shambles I'll just make sure I grab a disc or two so I've actually got something to play!

I've pre-ordered the following games:

Spiderman Miles Morales
Demon's Souls
NBA 2k21
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
Far Cry 6 (coming in Feb 2021)

And then I picked up the PS4 versions of FIFA 21 and Dirt 5 because they were going to give free PS5 upgrades and were at a decent price.

Is it overkill, or just right? Are there any must-haves that I've missed?

Don’t buy Spider-Man on release. Fight the power.

Haha, I couldn't help myself...

Best get learning Japanese @esmufc07. You got 39 hours, I want a full translation. So get your arse off Apex.

This begins at 10am UK time today if we have any Japanese folk around.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Any planned dates for more pre-orders of PS5?

 

[Spoony]

@esmufc07 the PS5 has been annihilated. Buy the new Switch next year instead.

I don't play my switch enough to justify an upgrade - perhaps when they finally get around to releasing a Metroid game on the damn thing.

That Breath of the Wild is something else, Elv.

Yeah I loved that game, even though I thought the 'dungeons' were ultimately disappointing. But it certainly re-energised Zelda and I look forward to BOTW2.

Rumoured 664gb remains on the console. Did a little better than Microsoft at least.

Would have liked around 700GB after the OS install at least, though I still think 664GB is enough for 6/7 games at any one time (unless one of your games is COD), so it'll be more than enough for most people I think.

I'm watching it in Japanese. No idea what they're saying but it looks cool. There's something in that Astro game where you have to blow into the microphone to make a fan spin in the game.

Console was quiet when they played Godfall apparently.

[rcoobc]

I have a PS4 digital edition (disc drive is broken, need to fix it).

It's alright

Okay so I just finally fixed my PS4 Digital Edition

With a one inch piece of elastic band

Hooray!

 

[jymufc20]

Any recommendations for a TV to play this thing on ?

 

[Castia]

Looks stunning from that angle

It has less than Xbox mate

 

[esmufc07]

Think he means in terms of size of the OS.

That's good! Any other details??

 

[Alock1]

Think he means in terms of size of the OS.

But means nothing.. Xbox had more available so used more and have more left.

We also don't know what quick resume takes up and whether Sony has an equivalent.

 

[Castia]

Little over a month to go and still no signs of the OS....getting kinda weird tbh something is surely not right.

It's like MS DOS I've heard.

The LG CX range if you want the bees knees. Oled panel so best picture quality and has 4 HDMI 2.1 ports so can take advantage of the fancy features the new consoles have such as ALLM, VRR, eARC and 4K@120 fps. The BX is an almost as good option for slightly cheaper but only has 2 HDMI 2.1 ports, one of which is the eARC port. So if you plan on getting both new consoles and you also use a soundbar/receiver one console will have to plug into a regular HDMI port.

Be interested to know what other options there are around the £1k mark, if you know any?
