PS5

[Rojer]

I might sell my PS5 tbh. I don't really use it that much apart from GT7 which is a shame.

I brought my PS5 over to another house as I’m looking after it for a bit along with a long Ethernet cable. Been using it fine past few days with the Ethernet cable. Been playing fine online and playing games. I turned it on earlier today and it says no internet connection. I tried putting the Ethernet cable into another port and nothing. I got my original short Ethernet cable at home and plugged everything in and worked as normal and was able to go online. But forgot to bring the long cable. So I tried both long and short Ethernet cables at this place I’m looking at and tried different ports in the router and still failing to connect to the internet. Nothing has changed since past days and can’t figure out what it’s not connecting.

Maybe service provider has blocked it due to going over a download limit? Seems daft but it might be something silly like that?

I’ve only played Red Dead Redemption 2 Online and not downloaded any games here or any updates. Can’t be any data usage

I’ve sorted it now, Sky was saying no internet so took power plug out of socket for the sky and also the router power cable and left it for few minutes and plugged back in. Sky and PS5 online now. All happy now

Anyone on here playing Ghost Of Tsushima? Im pretty bad at the combos, played about 80 hours now and just found out how to kill more than 1 person in the Draw lol. Just got my trophy killing 5 in a draw yesterday lol

PayDay 3 is free on PSN this month, actually not a bad game.

Typically bought it, albeit for £10 over Xmas as my brother was going on about how good it is. The "High on life" game is pretty good, from the same people who do Rick & Morty

High on life is good. But very short.

Has anyone played Art of Rally? Randomly picked it up as I saw an ad about a sequel (off-road freeroamer) so thought I'd give this a punt. Don't do multiplayer/online nowadays so always looking for good single player games to give a go.

It's been pretty decent so far, retro vibes and the minimalistic approach works well.

I’ve had this pretty much since it came out. Cracking little game.

I keep meaning to get back into it as it’s fun trying to master the different courses and cars.

EDIT - Circuit Superstars is another one worth a look.

Noticed last night after putting the console on standby and after a few secs in standby there’s a whine electronic noise like something is running. I restarted it and put it into standby and it did it again. I then powered down and the noise wasn’t there. I then put it into standby again and it appeared. No idea what it could be. There’s no updates on anything and nothing was running. Not sure what it could be. Edit, it got cleaned inside the fans few weeks ago

Good stuff, I'll pick up Circuit Superstars later.

Glad to see it has local multiplayer too, I have a regular gaming night with a couple of pals and we specifically play split-screen or co-op games, most are online nowadays but you can't beat a few beers and a 2 player game.

Got an email from PlayStation just now. It’s about Beta Program, testing games, console features and more. Anyone interested in this?

Finally bought Gran Turismo 7 yesterday, got fed up of being crashed into on Assetto Corsa Competizione when trying to do anything multiplayer

Awesome, I’m just started to get back into it past few weeks, not been on it for a couple years. Enjoying it now and been doing the time trials and still only completed about 30% of the single player stuff. Loads to do. Send a request over

 

[Simon_16v]

I'm enjoying doing the licenses, it's like being 12 years old and playing GT3 all over again

A couple of hours into Circuit Superstars and it's decent!

Feels like a secondary game just for a bit of racing now and again - I did the first two championships and enjoyed the formats, straight spring with the Fiat 500s then a little more strategic with the touring cars.
That being said, I'm piling through the easiest difficulty first and for the touring car races I ended up no-pitting a couple of races with zero tyres left and still lapped most of the field!

Yep I got one too. I don't spend enough time on it to be bothered with any of that s**t though.

I'm potentially after upgrading my old viewsonic IPS monitor, think I want to go back to a tn. With a budget of upto say £200 I need some ideas

 

[CrippsCorner]

This thing looks great but gutted you can't play it solo. Maybe I can get the missus to pick up a controller, as I think it's a bit complicated for my kids...

Buzzing for tony hawks 3+4 remastered coming out. I think 3 had the best levels in a single thps game.

Also I see on the PS store that they are getting the new forza? I thought that was just for Xbox?

I think since Microsoft spinked billions on Activision/Call of Duty it's trying to recoup some money by selling games on the PS system.
Think Halo might be coming to PS soon too.

Anyone rocking a Dualsense Edge?

I treated myself to a black one earlier in the week and I'm undecided on it.

 

[Geddes]

Nah not me, be nice having the triggers underneath and wasn’t really wowed on the L2 and R2 triggers but never really wanted one

Just finished It Takes Two with the 4 year old, think this is the next one for us.

Will be on the Xbox though.

Never played that but did look it up since hearing about Split Fiction. Looks like it could be a good one for my and my 5 year old then

It's extremely good mate

Yeah really good, sometimes I just sat back and let him try to figure out what we needed to do for the puzzles.

I think there was only one or two times I needed to get the older daughter in to help because he couldn't do certain things.

He has just finished his first play through of Jedi Survivor. (Yeah, Mrs not happy with his love of annihilating everything with a light saber)

Spoiler

I don't think he is ever going to recover form being betrayed by Bode at the end, far more damaging to him than the Elephant
