General Videogame Thread

I've managed to order a PS5 (finally), i read something on here about free games but i assume that's only if you had an account on the PS4? I've not had an account since my PS3, does that mean there's no free games then?
No its if you have a PS plus subscription which is what you need for online play. Well worth it as it gives you access to a load of really good games on your ps5.

PS Now. Loads of games(all the exclusives/ or most?) Doesn't cost much but make sure when/if you cancel your subscription they don't carry on emptying your bank account. They were known for it. They will pay you straight back but can you imagine the millions they've made from people that couldn't be arsed.

Oh right, nice one. I guess i'll be ordering that then! Mine comes with Spiderman, i had to get the disc version as that was the only bundle it showed me.

I think i'll just buy the 12/15 month subs you can get on CDkeys and the likes, i guess they're cheaper?

Im playing god of war at the moment and final fantasy 7 remake and both are free with ps plus and cracking games. Enjoy, im loving it so far and havent even played a ps5 exclusive yet.
 
Has anyone managed to find any decent HDD or SDD to go with the PS5 currently? I read up that the PCIe 4.0 hasn't been switched on by Sony yet, but that doesn't look like it will be a cheap endeavor.

There’s no option for any SSD yet. I don’t know why they’re taking their time with it, I’ve had to download/delete several games a few times already. The rumour is it’s going to be the summer before they announce a compatible SSD.

I guess i'd only look at buying an extra HD for ps4 games anyway like these free ones, but realistically how many am i gonna play at one time!

Im thinking about buying a HD just to see me over. I downloaded a few games last week and had to delete them after a few days. I got a PS5 from game this morning for my mate, must have been one of the last ones as barely any bundles available after an hour in the queue.

is there no option to have a standard SSD attached to the USB and copy on/off from that?

the reason they are being so protective is they spent a lot of effort on read/write speeds of the SSD and a lot of games are coded around it spcifically so anything that gets added as a full on replacement to the inbuilt SSD needs to be a very specific spec or it could impact gameplay.

Says games with contracts in place (Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo), live service games (Elder Scrolls Online and Fallout 76) will continue to be supported but basically everything else is Xbox/PC exclusive on the platforms where Game Pass exist. I’m taking his use of the word legacy to mean the obvious (they’re not halting the Doom: Eternal dlc for PS for example).

If Starfield and the next fallout and elder Scrolls games are Xbox/pc exclusives that's a major coup for Microsoft. I was expecting timed exclusives like for 12 months then they'll be released on other platforms but it sounds like that's not going to happen.

Might give Fallout 76 a go now as apparently it's improved a lot since it's disastrous launch

Was hoping starfield might stay cross platform. Really bad news for PlayStation owners.
