Thanks mate. Done! My first platinumed game ever.

Cheers

It’s also my first ever platinum. the activity card helped big time. I can see I platinum a lot more ps5 games in the future

Based on the reports, I think 3d audio really required a premium headset to shine. I think the key is sound separation. Unfortunately, I don’t have an open back. So I wonder if sound stage also has an impact.

I wouldn’t classify the 3d as closed sounding or as having a small soundstage. At least for me they weren’t but they didn’t fit me well so it may be closed and more sealed to someone else. To me though, the X2hr sound much better and are open but also far from premium. The 3dcan sound like a $50-$80 headphone, plus it has every feature for PS5 native and on board for $100. Hard to beat thevalue depending on what else you have to compare it to. Ease of use and convenience is unparalleled at this time.

MicroSoNyntendo?

 

[Riky]

Well it's certainly odd that those scenes are ones where the player has no control. I wonder if it's a loading issue, using those scenes as a brief load screen and something's not quite optimised for the PS5 IO.

You have control over the car and plane scene and the building scene, they aren't cut scenes.

 

[Insane Metal]

What all these comparisons show is exactly what Matt said over at Era (and as usual he's on point) - both consoles are really close in power, the closest two consoles of the same generation have ever been. And that is great for the players.

 

[On Demand]

Source?

Ha. Just speculating. Wouldn’t be surprised. Sony is close with WB and has marketing deals with all of their upcoming games.

I hope not, their next games look like gaas trash

They do. Disappointed with the way Gotham Nights and Suicide Squad games looks. Harry Potter is the only game that looks good and even that might be online-esk gaas type.

Still they are a large company with multiple studios and they’ll return the Batman games to form eventually.

 

[existensmaximum]

Stores seriously need to open and start selling PS5’s in person. If we can still shop in grocery stores, big box stores, in this so called pandemic, there’s no reason PS5 can’t be on store shelves.

Well, it's not like there are any consoles available anywhere in the world anyway..?

 

[Insane Metal]

Also remember PS4 and XBO? BF4 released right at launch and they both struggled so hard to reach 60FPS. None of them did actually, they were hovering around 35-45fps during multiplayer. Now we have games running at 120fps on both consoles. We should be happy we got consoles with great hardware this time around.

It really is. It means that gamers can simply buy the box that has the games they like and not have to worry about FOMO...

Well... unless you pick up an XSS

if x2hr sounds much better, then the sound stage is a factor. i don't like using open back... the sound leakage is too much. i'd rather use my pair of speakers. lol

 

[mckmas8808]

I mentioned them because their system software doesn't seem to be fully baked. There's no need to be so sensitive about it. Features that were present on PS4 are missing and other features that HDMI 2.1 makes possible aren't there and are coming in a future patch. The "it'll be patched soon" thing comes up so often it has become a meme.

Sony's launch lineup isn't universally appealing, but at least they have one.

Microsoft is also doing great. It's not like their hardware is sitting on shelves collecting dust.

This happens with literally every console launch with every company. Software at the OS level will always come in hot. If they had pushed back the release of the PS5 until next Spring, they would have just added more stuff to the plate for launch and had other stuff missing.

 

[MistBreeze]

Is it with Miles Morales on? Have you made sure your rest mode parameters allow for controllers charge? It's charging just fine for me

no it is rest mode without anything on... and yes the parameters allow for charge but not working unless the system is on or I must use the back usb to allow me to charge in rest mode

 

[MistBreeze]

OMG i had this, ended up just plugging the USB into my Series X and charge it that way

it apparently a bug cause the usb in the front of the console is not faulty cause it allow me to charge without a problem as long the system is on... but not in rest mode
hope sony fix it

 

[Imtjnotu]

no it is rest mode without anything on... and yes the parameters allow for charge but not working unless the system is on or I must use the back usb to allow me to charge in rest mode

Rest mode on the front USB-A works fine for me when charging. Are you using the type c or the type a connector?

You can set the duration that the USB will charge. I have mine set to 3 hours so after 3 hours it turns off the charging USB port

 

[Mr Moose]

Love this game, new game+ing it for the extra shit.

Gonna do this on performance mode. First play through has been on fidelity

Yeah that's what I am doing (currently in the 60fps mode). Looks great in both modes.

Ps5 and Ps5 PotoPro2 in home

Great job mate. But can you cover up those wires? God lord lol. Everything else looks perfect!

Stores seriously need to open and start selling PS5’s in person. If we can still shop in grocery stores, big box stores, in this so called pandemic, there’s no reason PS5 can’t be on store shelves.

100% agree! It's stupid to have stores like Walmart open to sell food and clothes, but be against buying a new console in person. Where's the science to show buying a new console at launch gives you a greater chance to get the Coronovirus than buying a T-Shirt in Target?

 

[DeepEnigma]

Given the ongoing hardware/software issues, I simply cannot imagine PS5 being released back in November 2019... They can't even make enough units a whole year later, so how many unite they were suppose to realease in 2019, 3? 5?

RDNA2 was not even up for prime-time fabbing back then. Everything beyond that with "tools and SDKs" are all BS. Maybe they wanted a system out in 2019 (internal noise), but the silicon just wasn't there yet, and internal roadmaps shifted. This impacted BOTH consoles and desktop parts.

 

[Darklor01]

I was in a CoD Cold War menu when all of the sudden, my PS5 froze and rebooted. I was like, great.. here we go....

Turns out that XSX players and PS5 players (based on comments) are experiencing this when in CoD, even just at menus. Thanks Treyarch!


Edit: Still, if it's triggered this easily.. not good overall at all!

 

[THEAP99]

Another game supporting dualsense

Thanks to the DualSense controller’s adaptive triggers, squeezing the R2 trigger emulates the resistance of an actual trigger, offering a unique feel for each weapon category and shooting gadget. For example, adaptive trigger resistance is light and quick for pistols, and heavier for bigger, powerful weapons like light machine guns. Players will also be able to feel the difference between single fire and full-automatic for full immersion.

In addition, thanks to the haptic feedback players will sense impact like never before. Dynamic and immersive, haptic feedback reacts with the environment. Weapons, explosions, gadgets and so on will provide feedback directly in the player’s hands.

 

[Dabaus]

Why should we believe this person?

Another game supporting dualsense

Most competitive player will turn triggers off immediately. In games like this where reaction is crucial it's gonna be a disadvantage, unfortunately. It's still cool in single player games like recent CoD.

Competitive tournaments probably runs on PS5 and they can't turn Dual Sense features off if it is the default on.
And if everything is fair the matchmaking won't allow you to play against Dual Sense with the feature turned on if you turn it off.

The same about 120Hz... you can only play against players with 120Hz.

 

[Kerlurk]

Actually this a case where the opposite is true.

I strongly suggest that more people use these adaptive triggers in multiplayer games. You will gain a huge advantage, when you can feel that trigger.

Go for the kill and dominant the game.

Can't wait to play against you guys.

99% of players compete at their sofas/chairs at home, where they can tweak their controller as they like.

There are not competitive players lol
These are casuals players.

Tournaments doesn't allow you to tweak the game... everybody plays in the same conditions.
And matchmaking has filters to separate the pools... unless there is some matchmaking bug like in CoD that allowed Controller players to play against KB players lol

I was trying it out on black ops and I was just doing as good as I did with them off. I think triggers are good to have on but maybe make the haptic vibration weaker ?

My point is that it adds additional step between your brain reacting and bullet being fired further translating into additional ms lost on you reaction time. Also it may build up fatigue after long sessions. It's definitely harder to pull the trigger when it resists.

Can you elaborate on how will it give you an advantage?

My post was sarcasm.

I fully intend to have them OFF!

I need all the advantage I can get.

Welp, you can play ranked at home on higher levels with pre-build squad. And it's definitely not as casual as playing with random teammates in non-ranked modes. I find it pretty competitive.

 

[DarkParadise]

Guys, don't sleep on Miles Morales thinking its nothing better than a simple DLC. Just finished it yesterday, and the ending caught me off-guard.

People need food to live; it's about what is a necessity and what isn't.

What a bugged mess this game is.

I have to say, I wasn't sure it was the game until I saw that tweet. I was ready to hit the panic button in regards to my PS5.

 

[3liteDragon]

 

[Neo Blaster]

update:

everything with ps5 has been great

but one problem

I have the bug that prevent the controller from charging during rest mode
it charges while the system is on ... but not charging during rest mode

the only solutions was to use the back usb on the console

hope sony fixes it as the back ones are inconvenient for playing while charging

You can charge it during rest mode using the USB-C port too, that's what I've been doing since I've got the console.

 

[mckmas8808]

Walmart sells more things than food. Not sure if you live in America or not though.

 

[IntentionalPun]

I do. They are purposefully not releasing "hot Christmas items" in stores to limit the amount of people going into those stores because of the pandemic.

While there's nothing stopping anyone from going into a Walmart and buying a Blu-Ray right now, the actual REASON they are open is primarily to sell food. So stuff like game consoles are online only; companies like Sony probably requested as much.. they don't want their name associated with images of crowds rushing into stores or anything like that right now.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Don't understand why they don't compare the two on the same scenes.

This isn't true. And if you live in America like you say, you'd know this isn't true. Sony is just using excuses because they don't have enough supply to cover demand. What other companies are with holding supply to stop the spread of Covid-19 like this?

 

[Insane Metal]

No reason to. They are showing ps4 version on PS5 via backwards compatibility. If anything there'll be better resolution and textures and that's it.

It is absolutely true; in fact there are states where they wouldn't be allowed to be open if they didn't sell food.

I'm talking about during the pandemic / lockdowns.

And nobody is withholding supply.. what are you even talking about?

In America, we don't have a national strategy for the pandemic. Until the last week or so, almost all businesses in every state have been open to the general public for months now. So what are you talking about? Plus, what company that sells goods in physical stores are holding back supply to retailers so that they can't be picked up physically?

 

[JonkyDonk]

This game looks very compromised compared to earlier demos, there is almost zero traffic and pedestrians in this footage. Maybe the PC version will give the options to turn all that stuff up to max, but right now this looks like another massive downgrade.

This is the first time you're looking at PlayStation footage and it's only the second time they released a console footage (Xbox gameplay was revealed few days ago). All other material was always on PC. That's why.

I'm well aware we don't have a national strategy... maybe "primarily open to sell food" is an exaggeration... but that is precisely what is true in any state with any sort of lockdown... and those rules are easily explained (it's not safer to buy food, it's just necessary to buy food, it's not necessary to buy electronics.)

Sony requested no in-store purchases because they don't want to be associated with people going out in public to stores... they literally have zero reason otherwise to limit that.. everyone involved would love it if people could line up / camp / everything else related to a big console launch. Sony doesn't want that associated with their brand right now, and either does MIcrosoft... the end. They are the 2 companies I know of.. but companies like Apple are also keeping their own stores closed, despite the fact they could be open in lots of places... during a huge product launch no less.
