Anyone have a PS5 hooked up to a TCL Roku tv? I haven’t turned on the PS5 in a few days, but the display seems very dim. Has anyone experienced this before? It’s not happening with Xbox or other Roku apps.

I haven't noticed any brightness difference with the PS5 versus anything else. You might want to try it on a different input or different TV.

 

psunami - thanks for mentioning you get static once in awhile. I get that too, so it's good to know it's not the TV going bad.

If I let my ps+ sub lapse is there a time limit until all of my ps+ saves over the last 3 generations are erased. Or am i good until I sub again in the future.

I let mine lapse for a year and a half and when I resubbed they were still there. This was around 4 years ago. Btw it sucks you can't backup PS5 saves to USB. I really hope Sony changes this in the future.

That's great! I have been wanting to try Biomutant.

What are the odds that the Mass Effect Trilogy ever hits PS Plus? I'm new to the service, so not sure what to expect. I want it, but I also have a decent backlog such that I can wait for a few months.

If you were holding out like I was and the PS+ leak turns out to be true, then it looks like I successfully invoked the "hold out" curse, yesterday. After waiting for almost a year, I finally pulled the trigger on the physical version over Black Friday. It arrives tomorrow...the exact day that the game will be announced as free.

Mass Effect and Biomutant are pretty great gets, but that third game has HUGE F2P MTX OMG energy, just from that picture.

There goes my hopes for a sale on Tunic.

Is God of War 3 remastered worth buying? I really liked the 2018 God of War and am enjoying Ragnarok. Tempted to buy it but considering it is a 12 year old game I am not sure if it will hold up.

It holds up, but it's also a very different kind of game compared to the two which followed. I'd watch some gameplay first.

The camera angle does seem weird maybe will take a shot at it!

I'm streaming Need for Speed Unbound if you want to see that in action.

 

Edit: Here's the archive. It's a surprisingly better game than I was expecting with Criterion not being what they used to be back when they last made a Need for Speed game. It does a smart thing by separating the story mode from the freeroam/multiplayer race mode that is more like a Burnout Paradise or Forza Horizon game. The story mode takes out the need for upgrading your cars to progress, as you get a good car to start and they're all basically the same stats-wise. Freeroam is where you start with a baseline car and use money from collectibles and PVP races to upgrade them or buy better cars. The PVP races are done pretty well since you get notifications for when somebody on the server is queueing up for a race and don't have to drive to the start point. PVP races are just three races with tournament points awarded based on finish place and they still work pretty well for even just three racers up to an eight car max, though I do wish they had AI racers that could fill out the field.

 

The art style for the characters is well done and it's much easier to see them pre-race and while driving than it ever was for the FH games that also had a lot of cosmetics for the drivers. The controls can take a bit to get used to them since the cars are heavier than the way that Forza Horizon's cars control, especially with its drift and boost mechanics that are pretty well done.

I have this urge to buy it, not sure why lol

There goes my hopes for a sale on Tunic.

I wouldn’t give up hope yet—in years past, there’s normally been a Game Awards related sale that goes live around the same time as the event. If something happens like that again this year, you may see it get a discount then. That being said, if we don’t see anything by the end of next week, then you can probably give up hope for 2022.

Can you play Little Big Planet 3 on PS5? When I click on it from the End of Year sale on PlayStation's website it just says "Unavailable for Purchase"

[Hypebeast69]

Did biomutant get a free upgrade to ps5? If not, even better. Also that DKO game reminded me of the game DokeV and I wonder when that game’s even comin out

[FriskyTanuki]

It seems pretty good so far. They have separate story and freeroam modes with the latter being in the vein of a Burnout Paradise or Forza Horizon. Controls pretty well and runs fine so far. Only issue I have is that puddles and water-filled areas don't have any splashing or control differences to normal roads.

Did you get it as a + freebie at some point maybe?

already maxed out the ps5 HD... modern warfare 2 is ridiculous with all the downloads

If the other call of duty games were an indication you should be able to shrink down the file size if you don’t play the campaign or are done with it.

I’m having a blast with it so far. If you have either EA Play on PS or GamePass (via EA Play) on Xbox, you can play the trial for 10 hours. Hoping to stretch that while waiting for a sale.

Good month imo

This makes me want to drag the PS5 out just to play BioMutant finally. What doesn't make sense is I have the CE also sitting in storage waiting to be played on Xbox. Usually my reasoning is sound but I have no words. . .

I swooped a discounted digital copy last night.  Haven't played it yet but from what i am seeing so far, people are really liking it.
