A mate of mine is telling me that to play ps4 games on the ps5 you have to use the old ps4 controller as the new one won't work. Does anyone know if this is true?

Pardon?

Some unscrupulous bastards could run games aquired from non official E-shops, run console emulators that sort of thing.

Still haven't finished Darksouls 3. Fuckin died 3 times building my character.

There’s a few PS4 games that I really enjoy, or would enjoy but for the loading times. As an example I love Cricket 19 but there’s a 2 or 3 minute load time for each game which ruins it for me. On the PS5, the exact same game will have almost instant load times.

That alone makes it worthwhile for me (plus I’ve just paid for my pre order in full as Qatar will run out in short order).

2 or 3 minutes! Did you not own a Commodore 64?

On a side note, where would I buy the PS5 from? Is it about the same price everywhere?

Not sure mate. I had a look in the U.K. yesterday and a few places already said sold out.

My local virgin store in Qatar said I couldn’t pre-order until I suggested I’d pay in full same day (yesterday) and suddenly I was able to. Was happy it was only £17 more than UK RRP. There’s normally a bigger mark-up.

Having an interesting chat with a very old friend from back in the JTAG-RGH/Firmware flashing days (i'd just dug out my glitched 360 and wanted to play Fall out New Vegas and the DLC) He was a bit of a wizard of the scene and told me people were running all kinds of unsigned code on Nintendo Switch...how did they defeat this consoles security?...by shorting out to pins in the joycon area and getting it into recovery mode. I imagine that would save parents £100s and cost the console dearly in pirated games.

eeeeerrrrrrm

I doubt it very much as all your back catalogue in your ps plus account wouldn’t work

I’d say that’s 100% bullshit bud.

You won't be able to play PS4 games with a PS5 controller.

That's been confirmed by Sony

PlayStation 5 will support PS4 controllers, but only for playing PS4 games

Sony’s approach is different to Microsoft’s support.

I’ll not sell my old controllers then. Cheers.

Edit. Your link doesn’t say that mate. It says PS4 controllers won’t work on PS5 games. Not the other way around.
