PlayStation 5: Thread 05

[nonny]

I stopped playing Starfield (was enjoying it) due to a bug I was hitting at 50% repro rate where if I aimed down site, I would be zoomed in to 180 degree (behind me). Not sure if it was ever fixed, tied to my save... I threw it out there to Bethesda at the time. I never went back.

Never saw that one, or any other major bugs in my 120hrs in game... I'm not saying it's a bug free product but it is probably the best title Bethesda have released in terms of day one performance.

It's also just received a massive patch this week which has fixed a tonne of stuff so worth going back and checking it out.

That's an impressive turn-around time from "State of Play" to "let's compare lists of / squabble about exclusives" team, well done

Blame The Legion of Doom (& Gloom)

[Lebowski]

Always the way it goes, really shouldn't get drawn in by, the Legion of doom / Xbox defence league, as I'm just playing into their hands and taking things off-topic.

So yeah new Silent Hill demo thing, anyone played it,

more importantly will it increase the value of my PS5 if I never uninstall it???

[doodledude]

Yeah lets ignore the usual suspects, who love the sound of their own voice, and talk about the games shown.

Stellar Blade – combat looks great, dialogue/off action sections look a bit iffy, seems to be a Bayonetta type game which is a positive.

Rise of Ronin – Want to love it, but each time it's shown, seems less appealing somehow. Want a Ninja Gaiden type experience with a bit of stealthy stuff, not sure this is going to be it.

Silent Hill 2 – never played any of them before, so happy to experience it fresh when it comes out

Death Stranding – Loved the original, so hoping more of the same with enough new crazy **** added

New Kojima game – Hit me in my veins with it, hopefully a lot of stealthy action, and not too much of watching famous people as CGI models acting

VR – not interested as I don't have it

I got that vibe from Rise of Ronin. A Team Ninja game with stealth You can hide in the weeds or silently tread the roofs

I mean, it comes down to an enhanced version of the debate forums often have about PSVR2. Either it's a poorly supported and expensive device where Sony should be making more effort or it's an amazing platform with a constant stream of worthwhile games. Really, both views are correct. There are regular decent games to play on it as long as you ignore they're available elsewhere for less and that Sony isn't responsible for them.

If someone can genuinely look at Sony's lineup this gen and this year and think "yep, that's excellent" then hats off to them. Especially if they can do it without relying on old reheated games and timed third party titles. PS1-PS4 must have blown minds

I hope so!

Been reading they have dropped a lot of the loot elements of their previous games to focus on exploration and combat, hoping with the stealth they lean into more of a Tenchu feel than a soul like. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, scratched that itch a bit for me as you could play sections of it in a very stealthy manner, and it was always advantageous to pick off enemies one by one, by sneaking about.

Rise of the ronin looked like an early PS4 game running, and not well either, unless the stream res suddenly dropped dramatically on that vid alone. Still cant find any performance info on Helldivers2, very disappointing devs.

[Lebowski]

Legendary Tales is going to make the most of the PSVR'2s feature set colour me excited.

We’ve done our best to utilize PlayStation VR2’s immersive features in Legendary Tales. The game supports 4K HDR, eye tracking, adaptive triggers, headset haptics, Ultra-Sharp Dynamic Foveation Rendering (2.0-2.4 times higher than original resolution.) All of this while keeping it running at a native 90 FPS. It wasn’t easy, but we made it happen. And we hope you enjoy it.

Might be the closest we ever get to another Tenchu game.

[Tobal]

Might be the closest we ever get to another Tenchu game.

that would be Aragami 2 which has been out a while, probably on both subscription services, co-op is good fun to. If it had more realistic graphics over the stylised it would be well known.

Apparently Dreams was finished for PC & PS5 but not released, I don’t normally say this but Dreams would have thrived on PC and gone on for years, someone needs to accidentally leak that code.
