Gaming PlayStation 5

If I download the ps4 games on the ps5. Should I move those games over to the external hard drive? And keep the ps5 games on the PS5 hard drive.

Where else you going to keep PS5 games?

You can play them off the external, but loading times won’t be improved but you will still get the better performance.
 
Congrats. First was Astro, right?

Yea, I'm usually the sort of person who finishes the story and moves on. Usually don't even look at the trophy menu, but have enjoyed these two games and getting the plat hasn't involved large amounts of mindless grinding.

Maybe it's something I will work towards more often going forward. I Iooked at the plat for Mass Effect Andromeda, the game I was playing before PS5 arrived, but it involves grinding kills in multiplayer etc....feck that

Yeah, I tend to give games with multiplayer grinding a hard swerve. Rocket League is the only multiplayer game I've Platinumed (well, I suppose technically speaking Destiny as well) and that was due to the trophies being fairly straightforward.

I’m the same I’ve never bothered because there isn’t any incentive, but might try for these two as well.
 
These twunts automatically renewed my PS plus subscription for £49.99 the other day, now they’re giving it away for £32!
 
Also do we think any PS5 games will drop in price for Cyber Monday or is it too soon?
 
Not sure but I’ve just finished Miles Morales. Maybe Sackboy if it goes down in price.

Might be for Xmas as it’s a PS4/PS5 game.

Demon Soul’s is probably only game I don’t expect to be on sale yet.
 
Can anybody help me. I tried recording something on my brand new and completely amazing PS5 the other night, playing Warzone, and it recorded the voices of my three mates chatting fine, but mine appeared muted even though my friends could obviously hear me. It wasn't a PS party chat but the in game version.I was wearing a headset and i specifically remember allowing my broadcasting to allow my voice, is there any way i can fix this or have it explained to me why it didn't work?
 
Mine is starting to make a buzzing noise . The fans have got loud a couple of times (10-15 seconds when playing MM) but the buzzing is constant & a bit irritating. Seen a few other people have a similar issue. Annoying as it was nice & quiet until now.

I think it might be one of the privacy settings maybe?

@Alock1 has the same problem. He posted a vid the other day. Some YouTuber exchanged their console. I would just wait it out and get it exchanged in a few months.

Yeah that’s what I’m planning on doing if it persists.
 
My non-gamer fiancée absolutely loved Astro, which was a suprise to both of us.

Tonight is pay day, if Sackboy is good in two player I might pick it up along with a second controller.

I heard some Sackboy multiplayer has been delayed, but I think that was online. Anyone been playing in two player? Can you play the entire game together?
 
The PS4 version of sackboy is £10 Cheaper than the PS5 version. The store listing seems to.suggest you get a free upgrade to the PS5 features.

Seems too good to be true.
 
Tempted to get Sackboy, never played Little Big Planet, but after playing a bit of Astro, might give it a go.

Any views on Watchdogs Legion? Not seen many comments on the game on here.

Watchdogs is a series which has totally passed me by. I heard the first game had issues, but they made two sequals so it must have something going for it

Played it on PC with Ubisoft's own game pass. Its pretty medicore tbh, usual Ubisoft nonsense of having an open world stacked with tedious, repetitive tasks and the usual cliched story. I'd give it a pass until its on sale tbh.
 
Think I might end up giving Sackboy a miss from now, buying it ontop of a Dualshock adds up a bit.

Crash 4 is on sale though. As much as I loved Crash N Sane, I was disappointed to see how much more Crash 4 cost at launch. Apparently it cost them a lot of sales

Screw you and a big feck on your face, Damo. I never did get Flawless Raider or Raiding Party. I had every single weapon in the game. I completed everything there was to complete, many times over. I earned Gjallarhorn 7 times, ffs! But I never managed to get that Platinum. It burns me every time I am looking at my trophy list. :(

In other news: I have 21 Platinums. :cool:

Cheers for feedback. I never completed the first game but the novelty of it being in London got my interest.
 
I hate the idea of it but has anyone on here paid eBay prices to get one?

I’ve had a bit of a bonus from work and can’t see any hope of getting a PS5 this side of the new year at normal prices. I am getting tempted so someone give me a slap please.

Don’t do it!
 
Left it on rest mode last night but it had turned off through the night and I had an error message when I turned it back on. All working OK, but it’s put me off using rest mode now until further patches stabilise it.
 
It’s a pretty ropey launch isn’t it? I don’t recall my PS4 or 3 having any issues at all. I certainly didn’t babysit them! I hope that by the time i get mine in December (hopefully!) Many of the big issues will have been resolved and I can just use it how I want to.
 
It’s nuts. It’s because I’ve been signed off work for a few weeks. The devil makes light work of idle hands. I’m on some proper medication and it’s getting easy to convince myself £800 is reasonable.
It’s brilliant but anything above retail is a rip off, it still has lots of problems, not worth it.
 
My system has just crashed for the first time mid game.

Not sure what happened by Spider-Man MM just froze and the console shut down.

Couldnt turn it back on with the controller but after a few mins I managed to turn on at the console - screen lit up to say it was repairing.

Hopefully these are just teething issues.

My first PS4 crashed quite a bit to the point I was tempted to get rid of it but after a system update it settled down a bit. Most of the stuff people are seeing are just teething issues which will be ironed out over the next few weeks.

I have to say most of the issues sound like they are software based rather than hardware so I think that with Patches it should improve.
 
100% complete miles morales last night really enjoyed it, better then what I was expecting. Game plays beautiful in 60 FPS now to get demon souls finished before cyberpunk.

Not had a single crash since release but I haven’t bothered with any PS4 games or data transfers

Same as my crash. Only crash/ issue I’ve had.
 
Thankfully my only crashes have occurred as a result of using rest mode so I'm just avoiding that feature altogether for now.

I do have some issues when booting Demon's Souls and then immediately clicking to start a game. If I don't wait for the console to read the disc fully the game will get stuck on the opening screen and I have to restart the console.

I have to admit I'm become very nervous that the console will brick. Seems to have a lot of small little issues.

Yeh, rest mode still seems fecked and woke up again to a non-fully charged controller.

I plowed through the story but all the stories of this game causing crashes has made me extremely wary of going back to it for now.
