Think they patched Aloy so she didn't talk so much in the end.

They patched it so she doesn't mention her stash every single fecking time you pick something up. But they didn't fix the stupid hints every 15 seconds: "I wonder what that key is for?" before you've even seen a key, or "Maybe I can drop that ladder" before you've entered the room with a ladder in it, or worst of all: "Maybe I should use my focus here", over and over again.

I loved the first game and praised it to anyone who would listen, but I've given up on Forbidden West less than halfway through. It's gorgeous and the gameplay is great, but it was just too annoying and immersion breaking listening to her.

I'll go back immediately if they ever patch in a proper fix.
 
I find it weird when people get upset or disappointed about state of play content.

Chill the feck out you fecking nerds (I too am a nerd, but I am a chilled one)

I'm not usually harsh about them but i think there was one a bit back where literally nothing was of interest to me and I thought 'Am I really so out of touch? No! it's the modern gamers who are wrong" ;)

At least this one had a few that looked decent so it gets my nerd seal of approval.
 
Rise of the Ronin looked really cool. Although I was not a fan of either of the Nioh games. They just didn't have that exploration in them to keep me going when the games got really tough. Obviously, I don't know if this game is going to go down the same route. Don't think it's out until 2024, so plenty of time to find that out.

As for the State of Play itself, I thought it was fine. I feel like you can enjoy them more when you set your expectations accordingly. Don't think they're necessarily there to be these huge reveals, but more of a "hey, here's a few things we're working on" type of deal.

I didn't like Nioh at all either. Then again you can never tell with developers. Sucker Punch made infamous before Ghosts of Tsushima and I thought Infmous was a grossly overrated game / series. All style and no substance.
 
I mean, wasn't it with it for that GoW trailer? What were yall expecting?
 
Have to send my PS5 off to be repaired I think, it literally cannot play any PS5 game
Without overheating and shutting itself off, any other games PS4/3 or using it for apps is fine.

Absolutely frustrating.
 
Almost to the day it happened last year my PS5 has bricked. Again.

Same issue. Isn't being detected on HDMI, same issue using other TV or cable. Able to access it via remote play on PC.

I'm fecking livid. It's out of warranty so no idea what I'll have to pay to get it repaired this time.

Do you change the HDMI cable often? Like switch between TV and projector for example?

Obviously you've tried another cable too already.

Not sure if there's a way to reset the display settings? Can you try changing them via remote play? Just goto The most basic settings? (No HDR, no 120hz) etc?

It's the console.

I had the exact same issue last year.

The console goes through all normal boot up but TV doesn't detect it.

Thought I'd test it one last time before I sent it off.

Turned on as normal and everything is fine.

Not sure what caused the issue either time but at least this time it seems to have been temporary.

How widespread is this? I remember back in the original PS3 days they had a yellow light of doom problem.

No idea. Like I said a few days ago. I had seemingly the exact same issue this time last year. Last year I had to send it off to Sony.
 
The down button on my d-pad is suddenly broken after a Dual sense update. I think it's a coincidence since I've read no similar complaints online, but a bit shitty that it broke than anyway, since I haven played on it that much so far and have played no games at all that even require heavy use of the D-pad.
 
Deathloop is ok/decent so far but it really looks and feels like a last gen game. Have played the other big three exclusives- Ratchet and Clank, Returnal and Demon's Souls and they're way more indicative of the potential of the PS5. Sounds trivial I acknowledge but I don't get why this was a PS5 only game.
 
The PS5 controller is a wonderful bit of tech. Astros obviously showcased all of it while others are yet to make full use. But while the dual sense needs games to utilize it, while playing Cyberpunk I was just thinking how much more immersion combat felt because of the adaptive triggers. The different feel of pistols and rifles really add to the experience and makes everything more weighty.

It's not 'bricked' if it's turning on surely? Mine does this some times actually and I've no idea why. Assumed it was something happening between the HDMI cable and the TV as it normally comes on when I flick the between tv and hdmi outputs on the tv remote. Have had to reboot once or twice though. What tv are you playing on?

It's a Samsung. But the time I returned it I was getting the same issue on a LG TV as well.

When it happens the TV doesn't even recognise a HDMI input is there. I always assumed the issue was a loose HDMI port on the motherboard but Sony don't advise you what the issue was or how they fixed it when they return the console.

Thankfully this time it seems to have rectified itself so fingers crossed it was just loose connection or something.

Same with Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. While the latter does not use the full capability of the controller its still a big step up compared to its predecessor

I've had issues with getting the HDMI connection recognized on my LG C9. In my case it was because of a setting on the HDMI port of the tv specifically. Don't remember which setting exactly and I'm not at home so can't check, but you could look into that. I believe it was something like Ultra HD Deep Color or whatever. Even when I fixed that setting, it got reset by the tv after a firmware update at one point.

Since you tested on different TVs, it's probably something else, but you never know.

Last year it was definitely a console issue. This year I'm stumped what caused it.

Yeah mine is a Samsung as well. I get the 'not connected' message and have had to reboot a couple of times. Hasn't done it for a while though (touch wood) so maybe it was a software issue.
 
Thinking of getting one, or at least attempting to get one, as they're opening up for preorder where I'm at soon. PS Plus Extra seems amazing value to me as a lot of the games I want to play are already on there. Was wondering if games are taken off the list often? If I see something I like being offered now, is there a decent chance it'll no longer be on the list if I get to it in a few months?

Games will come and go on it, there haven’t been many as of yet but it’s still early days as they want to build value in it. Anyone new to PS5’s should pick it up though, it’s huge value for money for a starter catalogue.

I think it's clearly more.powerful than the PS4, games are nowhere near hitting their full potential yet as they're made for cross gen, once developers leave the PS4 behind then we will get the most out of it.
Click to expand...

Is this definitely going to happen though? The 4 seems to be going strong and the 5 is so hard to get. Did this cross gen thing happen as much with previous generations? I know the 5 is more powerful but i don't think the games yet make it clear at all.

It'll happen eventually, think it'll be 2-3 years time before we see ps5 only games and then not bothering with the PS4 versions of them.

It's already been oit 1 year. 3-4 years before it's potential is realised is crazy, I can't remember it being like that on previous generations

There will be a Sony studio game which uses most the potential in the next year or so, but other studios will take longer.
