I think so, it isn’t entirely clear. But if you’re getting an SSD the latest update has allowed you to install more internal SSD storage.

Yeah, costly affair getting multiple ssd storage.
Was looking at a single 2tb external and an external hdd that I’d fill with the gazillion PS4 games I’ve yet to play.
I'd say go for Hades. Kena has a few bugs so giving that a bit more time will likely mean the bulk of the bugs will be fixed by then.
Hadn’t read about any bugs but cheers. Was leaning towards Hades…..
I was going to pick up Hades, you go first and keep us posted.
I saw one on twitter today where someone was stuck at a certain place on a puzzle which meant that they couldn't go back or whatever. Ember Lab said it'll be fixed in the next patch releasing tomorrow, so there could be other stuff like that which could be irritating if they mean you can't progress.
Anyone ever had to wait for an email response from Sony?
I was asked on Monday to email support a photo of the back of my PS5, but they never indicated a turn around time.
I'm feeling like this was just a delay tactic from the support line and I'm going to end up calling them again next week.

Diablo 2 today!
Been playing more of Hades these last few days. Haven't escaped yet, but I have come close a few times. The game really is excellent So fun and addicting, and the fact that you can save at any time makes you want to come back to it. The characters are awesome, and I don't think I've seen a repeated line of dialogue yet. Pretty incredible.
If I do have one negative, it's probably the weapons. There's not that many, and of the ones there are, I like two of them. MAYBE three. So that's not great. But it is an awesome game overall.

I'm not home till tomorrow sadly? Think I'll def pick it up though. Always played barbarian back in the day.
any of you guys know how shop to are with their stock? Ordered deathloop a while ago and it is on back order.
So it looks like I'll finally be able to get my hands on one in October. Except the PS5 itself, what is 'necessary' to buy with it? I'll pick up an extra controller but anything else? Charger? Headset? Better cords?
The charging dock is class.
Don’t think anything is ‘necessary’, just depends on your preference. I can’t game without a headset now so that’s important to me. I have the charging dock too which is very handy (will be more so for you if you have two controllers).
Cords work fine and the HDMI supplied is 2.1 compatible.
Alright thanks I'll probably buy the charging dock as well.
Finally got mine today. Pre-ordered last week and expected delivery was 90 days, so thought I would give it a go with the Christmas rush. Wasnt getting my hopes up and then yesterday I got an sms saying your order was here. I ordered the digital one as we are not massive gamers in the family, and the man in the game shop said it was quite easy to get the digital ones now as Sony was moving them. Still difficult to get the disc edition though.
Anyway set it up, my son has downloaded Fortnite as he likes that, and it looks amazing on 120fps. Had a little go of the robot game and that looked nice. Games boot up within seconds and it's a joy to hear no fan noise. Not sure what to do next, for sure I will get another controller. Can anyone recommend me a good headset? Also can anyone recommend a decent external hard drive, and can you move PS5 games there, then move them back?
Final question
Is it worth to get the playstation plus membership each month, how does that benefit me?

You need PS+ for multiplayer gaming (F2P games like Fortnite are exempt). Personally I get it as the monthly games that you get with it are worth the price overall for me even though a fair few of late don't appeal to me I've still played A Plague Tale: Innocence (currently £34.99), Maneater (currently £34.99) and Control: Ultimate Edition (currently £32.99) from it this year for less than a third of the price overall. Final Fantasy VII Remake was also available earlier this year but I got that when it launched.
If multiplayer isn't your thing - and you say you're not massive gamers - you can always just subscribe for a particular month a game shows up that appeals to you but once your subscription lapses you won't have access to that game until you resubscribe.
In other news:
Currently working through Kena between games of Apex Legends.
I'm enjoying it so far, its very easy though the standard mechanics like most games parry, block, light/strong attack.
If you have played any of the dark souls series you will breeze through this game, the environments are great, puzzles are so/so the story telling is very robotic.
Seems decent enough for a first attempt, if it carries on how it is without any huge changes i'd call it a 7/10 game.
With an initial price point of £32 its easier to be less harsh then if it was the full blown £59.99

Holy shit.
Yeah, It's a very impressive video. A little caveat though is that it's actually a replay as opposed to straight-up gameplay. You wouldn't get those movements (which add a lot to the realism) with gameplay. Still impressive though. Great lighting.

About a month or 2 ago some of you may remember me moaning again and again about AC Valhalla. I'm somehow still playing it 
it's feckin massive though, I don't think I'll ever get to the end
it's feckin massive though, I don't think I'll ever get to the end Thanks @Damien very helpful. I got a month's membership to have a look and downloaded god of war for free so that was cool
Oh yeah, forgot about the PS+ Collection. Great value in there alone imo.
Finally got a response from Sony. They basically fobbed my GF off last week so it could have already been repaired if they'd acted properly.
Sent if back for a repair and should be back in 15 days. I hope none of you have to go through their atrocious troubleshooting in the future. If you do though bear in mind the support are only open Monday-Friday 10.30-18.00.

Has anyone played Life is Strange true colors already?
So, just got the ps5 and have a few questions. I thought you only could store ps5 games on the internal SSD but when transfering data from the PS4 I had the option to select games as well? Are these games patched for ps5?
I understand that my external HD with PS4 games can be connected to my ps5 and the games played from there. What loading times can I expect from the old Hd, same as before?

play it on 60fps it will look even better. You’ll be amazed how much detail gets cut out when you switch to 120fps.
Deathloop wasn’t really a game I paid much interest to, didn’t even realise it was already out. But just seen it’s been given 10/10 on GameStop, maximum score on other review sites too. Is it really that good or are reviewers just exaggerating because it came out after a few months where nothing noticeable was released on the PS5?
While I'm sure it's a good game I game only this this is a bit of both. I can't help but feel that if this game releases 3 years in to the console life cycle it is more an 8/10
I’m hoping my copy arrives today, so I’ll let you know.
Think you’ve hit the nail on the head and lack of other content has skewed things . A real 10/10 goes down in history and becomes ground breaking. By now it would be trending and getting hyped by those that bought it..
I know it’s metacritic but it’s currently 6.3 on there from nearly 800 user reviews.
When the 10/10’s came out I had another look at the game and I just don’t get it - zero appeal to me and just looks very ordinary. If it’s ever reduced significantly or on PS Plus I’ll give it a go.
What little I played of Deathloop seemed good, but I like immersive sims. There seems to be a lot of options and ways to tackle each biome to coordinate killing all 8 targets in one day. Also the multiplayer aspect really intrigues me.
The 10/10 are probably a but OTT but it seems like a solid game.

I imagine Deathloop is fairly good but sandbox games where you can do lots of things always seem to review really highly. I imagine they put themselves in the shoes of the gamer and realise there's no one size fits all approach so it makes it hard to review as nobody will play it the same way. It tends to be that games with a cohesive vision have more variety in terms of critic review scores, for obvious reasons - either it gels or it doesn't.
Dishonored was a sandbox experience. High reviews.
Prey was a bit more structured on the story. Lower reviews (but a better game IMO).

Finally got hold of one from Game! 2 weeks to wait now..
Got a bundle with racket and clank and fifa and an extra controller..
A couple of questions which I should know but I was far too busy strolling because I didn’t have one..
My PS4 Pro.. is that just going to collect dust now? Is there value in selling? All downloaded games and profile and whatever - can they be transferred across? Or the ps monthly games and other digital downloads - can they just be downloaded once I’ve loaded up my profile?
And what else is essential? Controller stand? Also want to pick up f1 and madden but otherwise open to game suggestions
Edit:After 3 seconds of looking looks I will be not buying Madden.. F1 looks good though. Miles Morales too?

I’ve taken a look and compared to user reviews for other games. Looks like a bit of a love it or hate it game.
Pretty much, if you want a little extra cash you may as well sell it. Any game on PS4 is gonna work on PS5 and you can transfer all your save data over. There's an option in the settings that lets you do it automatically and you can pick and choose what you want to carry over. Anything you purchased from the shop can be downloaded too.
I'll probably just keep the ps4 and donate it to my kids room.. There will be a time when it'll come in handy i'm sure.
Thanks mate.
I think calling Dishonored a sandbox really stretches that term to its very limits. If anything, Prey offers more overall freedom compared to the very much level-based Dishonored games.
I get what you mean because when I first played Dishonored I went through it as a normal story-driven game. I looked at some videos afterwards and found there were loads of people who'd basically taken the right way to play it as finding the most elaborate method to kill enemies. Like this one mad lad who jumped about 100ft of a building to knife some dude from above. I kind of figured then I'd been playing the game wrong and that the whole meta sandbox was the right way to play it.
