PS5

Post by Big Kev »

I'd out lived my PS4 so updated to a PS5 just recently.

Several good looking games on the PSN store with big discounts.

I started off with Assassin's Creed Mirage.
Decent enough game. I love the series anyway so it was more of the same. Slightly cut down game compared to others (I finished everything after 55hours vs Odyssey which I did 160+hrs on) but that was actually quite good because you didn't have to travel far to get to places and there wasn't massive amounts of task repetition.

I also picked up the remastered Tomb Raider original trilogy which I started a couple of days ago. Loving that so far. The origins of games like Creed right there. You can toggle old and new graphics instantly and you have the option of modern stick control or the old button versions.

Still to come, Jedi Survivor and I picked up Star Wars Battlefront II for 2 quid!

Well in to Tomb Raider 1 so far. Utterly brilliant.
Back when gameplay was more important than graphics.

The levels are huge, the puzzles are just right in terms of difficulty and I love what I used to enjoy about this game which is that you go in to a new area and there's a pretty big room with several doors or high level passageways or ledges or levers and you think jeez how am I going to get up there. A couple of hours later, after going all over the place in different parts of the level you pop out on a ledge and realise oh I'm all the way back here again but up at the top! And there's the key I need for the door at the bottom. Fantastic design.

There is a night and day difference between streaming and proper 4K Kev. Just FYI.

I'll be honest, I can't tell a huge difference between HD and UHD!

I cant recall if it was Linus or Jayz2cent or another that did blind tests on people with 4k and 1080P and some ridiculous number couldnt tell the difference. A lot guessed and guessed wrong. That was on a computer monitor though.

I can tell if 4k is on for F1 via Foxtel. And that is with a relatively small these days TV of 65 inch. A mate at Culburra has an 85 inch TV and it is very noticeable on that.
