Gaming PlayStation 5

New Need for Speed Unbound game out on dec 2. I really like the last NFS game:heat.

Same day as Callisto Protocol (spiritual succesor to Dead Space). I want both but NFS can wait.

Ganeplay of both below.

Couldn't find my old ones so used bose 700s the other day but had to use mic on ps5 controller. Heard it was alright but the lads said it sounded "ok" at best so thought may aswell invest in something decent.

Heard they're better for the 3d audio than the official ps5 ones too, also, see a test review on youtube, thought the mic sounded decent still tucked into the ear bit too, actually think I preferred it.

The 3D audio is fantastic on them!

I picked up Sniper - will shout when I’m online!

There's a dedicated thread here somewhere with plenty of tips in there, in case you're struggling. I will keep telling everyone it's the best PS5 exclusive out there and one of the best games I've played in years. But it's not for everyone.

It's a grower. Just wait until you put a good run together, the additiction hits pretty fast.

Thank you. Have only played it for a few hours and only gotten the second boss, but i'll give it a shot. Suffering from a a bit of Ragnarok hangover and i need something to get over it

Getting to the second boss in a couple of hours is excellent progress. Phrike is probably the endpoint for most players, so you're already past that.
 
Returnal is a weird one in that the first half of the game is much more difficult than the second half. It’s not very well balanced in that regard. It can all feel a bit hopeless at times early on but once you get past biome 3 you should rocket through the game then.

Apparently Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is one of the games for December on PS Plus.

I know I enjoyed the ME games but my only memory from all of them is accidentally getting Garrus killed. Think he was carried away by a load of bugs or something. I was gutted.

You monster.

I'd definitely recommend playing the legendary edition if that rumour is true, it's great. The first hasn't aged very well but 2 and (most of) 3 are still great, especially with all the DLCs bundled in.
 
Was a good series. Just gone 15 years old so probably a good time to run through again.

Same boat. I keep grabbing games off PSN and PS+ without any real concept of when I get time to play them. I keep telling myself to stop getting new games but I'm not very disciplined.

Yup :lol: not sure i need mass effect in my life when im absolutely loving Ragnarok and have every intention of playing the Witcher 3 for the first time in a few weeks time.
 
Volumiza said:
Definitely, I should have done GOW by the weekend, then like you, the Witcher for the first time.

I still need to finish Forbidden West :lol: my backlog is getting ridiculous and im still sat here eyeing up the Callisto Protocol :lol:
 
Just as I decide not to renew my PS+ membership for awhile they put ME trilogy on there according to some :p

Witcher 3 and ME trilogy for Christmas isn't bad though.

I thought they did a great job in the Legendary Edition of updating the first game. Still feels the most dated but the most egregious stuff (elevator loading times, shooting mechanics and graphics generally) all took a solid step up.
 
Had a go at Mass Effect 1 remastered, but I couldn't get back into it. Even with the changes it still felt very dated. Skipped over to Mass Effect 2 and am enjoying that a lot more.
 
So I finally got a PS5.!

Looking at getting online in due course.

Any tips/advice?

Game wise this lot interest me but let me know if I’m missing anything obvious or if I should steer clear of any of these in particular;

Football Manager 23 (if it’s released)
Return to Monkey Island
Gran Turismo 7
Need for Speed Unbound
Crash Bandicoot It’s About Time
Ratchet and Clank
Callisto Protocol

Whats even happened to FM? They just pull it?
 
Does anyone actually bother with the raytracing option on PS5 games? I'm completely hopeless when it comes to these technical details but I've making an effort to learn and I bought a new tv with HDMI 2.1 to replace my decade old TV.

I have a few new options for playing RE2 remake: The higher frame option is really nice, the HDR makes everything look crisp but i'm not seeing any real benefit to ray tracing (and it lowers framerate). Also I think i remember reading some people saying HDR is actually not all it's cracked up to be?

It usually comes at the expense of frame rate doesn’t it? I always go for the high fps option at the expense of anything else. 30fps feels horrible to play.

Higher frames is way more important than ray tracing.

Yeah and I can't ever see much of a difference that RT makes to the visuals but then i'm pretty clueless about these technical things, as I openly admit.
