Gaming PlayStation 5

Or how they still have bots running loose even when you block messages from strangers. I received 4 close friend requests from bots in the last two days, what the hell is going on? I haven't been on PSN since last month when I beat Elvis in apex.
Elvis has been flirting with them for weeks thinking he was in there
 
I hope they talk about The Last of Us factions. The gameplay from TLOU 2 in a multiplayer setting could be awesome. They'll probably talk about Returnal and try and explain exactly what it is, and a new trailer for Horizon I'm guessing. Maybe something on God of War, but not sure about that. I don't think that game is coming out this year.
 
I have zero interest in trailers that don't show any meaningful gameplay. What is the point? I wish those would just disappear.

They think their edgy / twisty story is enough, it's like they want to just produce films half the time.
 
A new trailer for Returnal here.



Hmmmm, I'll keep an eye on that. I wouldn't mind more non-shooter explorations of a weird alien worlds, with lots of lore and a cool story.

EDIT- just seen that it does have shooter elements in it. Well, whatever :smirk:

How the hell is there such a shortage of charging stations? Such a basic bit of tech and at most they’re going to sell me for every two controllers and yet controllers are easy to come by.

Anyone got an unofficial one?

Apparently you can microwave the controller for 1 minute and get a full charge?

I have the official one.

Hope that helps.
 
It does thanks @Bojan Djordjic I can do a lot with that information, including charging my controllers with your eternal positive energy.

You thanked the wrong guy.

There's a few rip offs like Venom with good reviews on Amazon, but not sure if the reviews are bought.

Have you tried charging it with the USB it comes with? Hope that helps.

Yeah there’s loads of rip offs but I like keeping within the ecosystem (@Rado_N).

Also, no, I just keep buying new controllers.
 
So what's everyone expecting with the state of play? With it airing right after United's game, hopefully we can enjoy a double dose of excitement. I'm hoping for-

Ratchet & Clank female lombax trailer
Horizon Forbidden West trailer (if it's still coming in 2021)
Kena release date
FF7R and Maquette as PS+ games for March
Solar Ash trailer
TLoU2 factions
One 'surprise' announcement (maybe silent hill)
 
Returnal is a rogue like/lite isn't it?

I love those kinds of games. However I don't 69.99 love them. It'll be a wait for sale for me on this one.

In other news I'm pretty excited for the free outriders demo that's coming at 5pm UK time today. Game looks fun and it's a genuinely free demo (not a beta) with progress that carries into the main game. No live service elements, no microtransactions and full cross gen and cross system crossplay. Sign me up for that one.
 
Excited to see Horizon tonight.

What’s the story here? Love space games but that looks like an off nms/alien/control hybrid

I have no idea, to be honest. I'm not entirely sure what the game is, still. I'm interested in it because I like the studio, but I don't think they've done a great job of explaining the game.

Out of the ones you mentioned, I think Ratchet is guaranteed to be shown. Horizon will probably get a new trailer. And I really hope they do show off Factions. That's the one I'm probably most excited about. It's surely been long enough now that they got something substantial to show. And perhaps I'm being a little too hopeful, but maybe they'll have something special for the PS Plus games this month. Something extra on top of what they normally dish out. Probably not though.
 
Still think PS5 is missing that big co-op game to play with your mates. Hoping to see some announced.

Is it? If that's the case colour me interested.

However, only a month until Repentance :drool:

Yes, as far as I know Returnal is a rogue like/lite game.

Repentance yes - excited for this but I won't be playing it until it gets a PS4/5 release. I shall enjoy watching Sinvicta play it on youtube though in the meantime.

Imagine a the last of us game in huge expansive environments for co-op of say 4-6 players. Would be unreal

Not the shitty multiplayer they had last time though like team death match. More the story type stuff exploring, crafting and fighting AI/zombies
 
The PS5 is a bit shit isn’t it, I’ve literally got 2 games and was asked to delete one for the new update on COD went in and deleted zombies off Cold War. So when a half decent game actually does come out I’ll have to delete the whole thing if not both, ffs...

Are you sure you have not downloaded both PS4 and PS5 versions of COD?

That's what you get for playing COD in 2021
 
No downloaded Modern Warfare (PS4) and Cold War (PS5).

In all seriousness though, the COD games are massive files. I think Modern Warfare alone is pushing 150-200gb. Whether they're badly optimised or not I don't know but no other game I own has come close to taking as much space on the SSD as COD.

Generally you're looking between 50 and 60gb a game. I have about 10 games installed currently.
