Needs to be the ultimate edition of Miles Morales though - not the standard

[Jm55]

Thanks mate!

Yes as the second poster said - needs to be the ultimate version of Spider-Man which is about 20 quid more.

I’ve bought it and whilst I like Spider-Man I’m no huge fan of comic books etc but it had me re-watching the Toby Maguire movies, I absolutely loved it.

[ToneLa]

Spiderman also has a 60 fps mode or a ray tracing mode

I've ended up on the 60fps mode - it doesn't exactly look shit with this on and Spidey's movement is so so glorious

Big respect for it. As an open world game it does something very few do - makes the very act of traversal enjoyable!

For games with dual entitlement i.e. FIFA 21 PS4 version can be upgraded to PS5 version for free - do you get all the same benefits as if you bought the PS5 version such as quicker load times etc? Or is purely just the graphics that get upgraded? Same question for Black Ops Cold War.

If you’ve purchased the PS4 version, the PS5 downloads the PS5 version, just the same as if you’d purchased the PS5 version directly.

Sure I read something the other day, that said if you bought PS4 version of Black Ops Cold War and upgrade to PS5, you don’t benefit from ray tracing and the faster load times than if you would have bought the actual PS5 version of the game?

[ToneLa]

All that is per game

AssCreed Valhalla? Decent free update

I have both version of FIFA 21 installed, you do get all the benefits on the PS5 version (namely the DualSense enhancements, quicker loading times, (slightly) better graphics).

The PS4 version also loads quicker than it did on PS4. I still play the PS4 version on occasion to co-op with my bro who doesn't have a PS5.

Apparently with FIFA 22 there will be a bigger disparity between next gen and previous gen. Also you need to buy the Ultimate Edition to get duel entitlement.

If you have the free upgrade, you download the actual PS5 version of the game.

The PS4 disc is just used to validate the purchase, nothing more.

On the menu, press the options button and select game version and make sure the PS5 version is selected.

There’s a couple of other bits too. The mass team celebration if you score a late equaliser or winner wasn’t on the PS4 version. I’ve also had Klopp come into the pitch after games and do his signature celebration in front of the kop after games which I don’t ever recall seeing on PS4

Bless, Paul managed to bag himself one at last which is arriving tomorrow and he's just realised it's not going to fit in the space on the TV unit so it's going to have to stand up at the side of the telly.

Awe what a shame 🙄

Exactly the same thing happened to me.

I’m not arsed but my girlfriend wasn’t impressed when she got home from work.

I think they look smart stood up so I'm ok with it, I just thought it was funny that he'd not even measured up to check it would fit before ordering one.

[AndyMuller]

Same thing happened to me! Big white spaceship standing next to my tv!

[Jake]

Also the owner of a big white standing spaceship

Also dont understand the little stand that came with it and how to fit it

[J-Mc-]

Can look really good stood up if you get some accessories that match the white

The base rotates underneath (hold the base and rotate the edges) to reveal the screw. Took me ages to realise the screw wasnt missing!

Looks horizontal to me.

[classycarra]

just had a fun wind down this evening collecting all the final trophies in astros playroom for a rare platinum - not usually my thing but it was just really fun to play through the game a bit again, nice and mindless enjoyment

perfect palate cleanse before starting the last of us 2 soon

[ToneLa]

The plates slide off dead easy and black ones are like 20 squid on ebay

White suuuucks

[ScouserAtHeart]

Anyone not using the stand while keeping it vertical?

yeah it's really not grown on me at all, don't like the look at all. might invest at some point, although always worried about using messing around too much (but it seems minimal)

You don't need to do much to change them

No screws, nothing. The plates clip on and off, surprised Sony didn't mention it as a huge selling point

They showed it in the teardown video.

[reddebs]

After all that it fits on the shelf under the TV 🤷

If you’re fine with it being knocked over then sure, don’t use the stand.

I'm not even booting mine up again until there are 3rd party controllers available, the controller is awful, I use a wired Razer Wolverine controller on my Series X, and it's a joy to use, if I could use my PS4 controller on my PS5 I'd be content, but, you know, Sony railroading you in to only being able to use a single controller, is a really Sony thing to do.

You can use the PS4 controller on PS5 with PS4 games. Why you'd want to though I'm not sure. The DualSense is an upgrade in every way in my opinion.

[StormyDog]

Maybe cause ps5 controllers are expensive when u r looking at 4+ for multiplayer games

What are you playing? Goldeneye 4 player split screen?

[StormyDog]

I can’t get a ps5, but FIFA’s is multiplayer

I was attempting to answer the question of why someone would use PS4 controllers on a ps5.

I'll take your word for it

You'll always get somebody who disagrees but I do think the Dualsense is better. Feels more intuitive in the hands

But there's nothing quite like being attuned to my Dualshock 4 which is now for PC gaming

You need time to get used to em mind. It's all about that muscle memory

Does seem like the Dualsense needs charging more though.

It may be in terms of feedback, adaptive triggers etc, but the actual feel of the controller I really can't get on with, it's a shame as I got it on day one basically as a Destiny 2 box, but because of cross save I ended up playing D2 on my Xbox series x.

The controller is a real barrier to my enjoyment of the console.

Isn't it similar in shape and size to the Xbox controller?

[Ed-Zeppelin]

I really like the dualsense, although the PS4 controller still feels more natural to me partly due to the time I’ve spent using it and I also think the rounding of the ends in your hands is a little more natural than the slightly narrower end on the dualsense. A friend at work who, like me, has always had PlayStations hasn’t got on as well with it due to the ridges between the top and bottom faces.

Having recently got a series x as well I find both controllers very comfortable to use but the dualsense is better quality I think in terms of build and the button press is better for example. Have always heard good things about the Xbox controllers though and can see why from my first month using them. Having to use batteries in them bugs me though, and I’d rather not have to spend another £80 on a pro controller of some sort.

Both the Sony and MS engineers have done a great job with the controllers though overall. Generations of refinement means we’re pretty spoilt really. As an engineer who spends a reasonable amount of time worrying about how my end user will interact with things, both hardware and software, you have to admire these things. We even used an Xbox controller for one of our systems as the users would often intuitively pick it up and know how to use it as most were of an age that they had played games a fair bit growing up.

[Jm55]

Absolutely love the dualsense, fantastic controller.

[Flaccido Dongingo]

No at all, in any case the location of the thumbsticks on the Xbox controller are different to the PS5

[ToneLa]

I wouldn't say not at all. Very similar size and shape, I've compared them side by side
