Got a PS5 AND it's fantastic BBBUUUTTT playing mostly with my (nearly) 7 year old son...
...Any recommendations on games for said age group? We're playing:
I. Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart
II. Untitled Goose Game
III. Stardew ValleySpoilers. Playing PS5 with my son is fantastic AND I got a new 65" Sony Bravia (a dream for some time).
- Sackboy: A Big Adventureok_not_ok
- and Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Timeok_not_ok
- fortnite and minecraft are popular with that agegroup.sarahfailin
- Is Rayman Legends on the PS5? It's a great intro platformer and still looks great.Centigrade
- It Takes Twoduckseason
- Tony Hawk Pro Skater Remaster (or whatever it's officially called)duckseason
- ^ All on my radar / thanks dude(s). Tony Hawk remake is actually super good...
: )ideaist - Unravel Co-Op. Can the PS5 run PS4 games?mekk
- Fall Guysjaylarson
- Great suggestions dudes.ideaist
- elahon3
- feels like this game has been in development longer than cyberpunk 2077Milan
- it does, but I look forward to not having to choose my cat's haircut or boot colour. And getting a PS5.MrT
- LOL i just got here to post thissted
- wow, never seen, looks promising!jagara
- I'm less excited after seeing the gameplay. Also, what am I gonna play it on?! PS5's are still impossible to get.section_014
- I just got a PS5 last week. But if you listen closely, it will also be on a PS4 and PC.jmckinno

I've always had a soft spot for this type of light hearted, colourful platformer game. Nintendo-esque I guess. This looks fun...
- then you might like "Trine 3", "Unravel" and "ori and the blind forest"mekk
- Yea nice, they're proper platformers. Not sure I used the right word for this Ratchet & Clank which isn't really like them. What is it, an RPG?set
- Whatever it is, I likes it.set
- my boy used to love these.cruddlebub
- before this they made sunset overdrive for the xbox one. its a game more people need to play. 2+ years into this gen its still the most fun game ive played.CygnusZero4
- if you like ratchet and clanks its completely impossible for you to not love sunset overdrive. i liked it more than r&c future on the ps3 which was a great gameCygnusZero4
- You sound just like my teenage cousins Cygnusmonospaced
- Leave him alone he's living the dreamset
- Cygnus selling dat Xbxoernexbcn
- what happened to this genre of gaming? Loved it.inteliboy
- Ratchet & Clank FTW. I'm buying and I don't care.MrT
- CygnusZero40
Welp, this is why you do not buy console versions of these games. Graphics mod currently in development to make it look more like the original trilogy.
http://www.gamespot.com/articles…
- PS4 and X1 would MELT trying to run this.CygnusZero4
- This same guy did the graphics mod for GTA5 which was incredible.CygnusZero4
- He used to work for Blizzard.CygnusZero4
- The original trilogy 2 posts ago?MrT
- didnt see it homieCygnusZero4
- Big fucking whoop. PS4 can't handle these kinds of graphics, but the game is still fun as hell to play. I don't want to hear airplane fans running when I play.elahon
- Super HD Timeline.fadein11
- This is impressive considering he only has a QA/localization background which doesn't involve much, if any, coding-related work.SteveJobs
- Then again, I don't know what I'm looking at here. Do these represent game engine lighting tweaks or simple re-skin? Would like to see side-by-side comparison.SteveJobs
- the game already looks great as is. cool to see it pushed even further.inteliboy
- i do think i'm in love with the frostbite engine.inteliboy
- to SteveJobs: it's lighting and the color grading by fooling the game to use certain post processing shaders basiclyWeyland
- Looks real, like nerds dressed up in the desert.monospaced
- It looks better than the iPad version.MrT
- nice troll attempt, elahon; https://www.youtube.…mekk
- I'm not trolling, I just think the kind of PC that will run these graphics will need a dedicated AC unit and not worth it. Console versions are just fine IMO.elahon
- It's cost prohibitive too. The advantage of PC's is the availability of decent games to play more so than to run some behemoth that can support those graphics.jtb26
- Still. Looks great though.jtb26

Do you feel bad playing video games in your 30's, 40's, 50's, +?
- ... only a sense of loss as reflexes fail, eyesight lets you down and complex in game menu systems begin to confuseBluejam
- Yesinv
- "feel bad"?ben_
- As in "wasting time", "too old for gaming", etc.NBQ00
- entire gaming industry is alive because of us.pango
- you should feel worst watching media you cant interact withGuyFawkes
- like that fat dude that cries about eating while hes eatingGuyFawkes
- Short answer, no. Long answer, also no. Similarly to aging out of design convo. Most of us grew up with games. The first games. Why should one associate guilt?DRIFTMONKEY
- The art form continues to mature. No shame in appreciating the work of artists across the globe.jtb26
- I’m not proud of how many mindless hours of Apex Legends I’ve played. But I respect the craft and effort in it. Balance.jtb26
- No. If I enjoy it and it makes my mind work, then I am not wasting my time.cannonball1978
- Yeah. I'm in my mid 30s, healthy, able-bodied, but I'm spending so much time collecting loot boxes. I even know if I enjoy playing. It's a habit.trondlandvik
- Do you feel bad for watching movies or a TV show? Its just a different form of recreation.Nutter
- If a game is bad and I've paid for it - yes, I feel bad. If it's good then it's another work of art, never a waste of time.rzu-rzu
- If it’s solitaire then no. Anything else. Yes.shapesalad
- I'm too old to deny what brings me happiness. sure ain't hanging around with people. I'll likely die alone with a controller in my hand loljaylarson
- Video games are a form of art, engaging most of the senses, made by some of the best talent man has to offer. Why should i feel bad about enjoying that?scarabin
- Only feel bad when you neglected other responsibilities.pango
- Started on the Atari 2600 in 1978. Haven't stopped. Im about to turn 49.ArmandoEstrada
- why? its the koolest artform... if u dont play games u better opt in now coz u missing alotneverscared
- just dont play too much.. people who are gaming all the time are clowns too..neverscared
- Same @armando love the artwork from back then. Too bad the games couldn’t look like itjaylarson
- not at all, I just get to play less hahernexbcn
- I never feel bad about playing a video game, I think I balance my priorities, haha.ben_
- I kinda feel bad that I can't play enough.ben_

- Such ugly internals. The new Xbox is a triumph of compact engineering. All the components slot and stack together. This looks like a fucking radio from 1992face_melter
- Svelte—looks like something that Starck would design. Having it vertical looks to help with the heat—that fan is massive.jaylarson
- It's almost to ugly to buyspl33nidoru
- 'Ugly internals'? Fucking hell, the inside is beautiful! Only thing I don't much like is everything soldered to a single board, but makes sense for cost reasonsNairn
- I actually exclaimed out aloud when he pulled out the last heat sink, given the large metal plates and huge slow quiet fan. Thing's a BEAST.Nairn
- And the daft curved exterior makes sense in the context of cooling too - discourages people lying stuff on top of it when laid flat. It's.. not pretty outside.Nairn
- lol @ face_melterernexbcn
- Liquid metal! they've got a bunch of T-1000's just jizzin' away to provide that.bulletfactory
- looks like he taking a car apart.milfhunter
- Turns out 'liquid metal' is 'just' a gallium-based alloy/amalgam - I assumed it was something much fancier.Nairn
- I've got some gallium sitting here - bought it years ago to test a theory (it totally fucks with Aluminium if it gets past the oxide surface layer - fun stuff).Nairn

Biggest generational leap Nvidia has ever done.
The 3070 at 499 bucks is slightly faster than a 1200 bucks 2080Ti.
Exciting times.
- amazing, was wondering how they would approach streaming from SSD to graphics memory. kicks NAVI's ass by the looks of it tookingsteven
- I still think AMD will bring some heat with big Navi, but they won't have something similar to DLSS this year & Nvidia might have a 3080Ti on the chamber tooernexbcn
- I wonder if he has that leather jacket only for presentations or is using a new one every time. So shiny and new going on for yearsmekk
- ^ the jacket was rendered using a 3090 and comp'd in in real-time.face_melter

More on Ghost of Tsushima. I've been loving this game so much. As Fabrico said, I'm having a hard time concentrating on the main story quests, I just keep getting lost in the beauty of it. I find myself just wandering around looking at shit. I'm on a 6yo PS4, I can't imagine this on a PS4 Pro on a huge 4K tv.
And photo mode, good fucking lord. I'm constantly pausing and taking pictures, hahaha
- style looks amazing, but graphics look a bit like switch to me. still cant wait to play it when have time again.inteliboy
- Hmmm, I have a ps4 pro and 4k tv... May just have to get thisSteveJobs
- Dang i need to pick this upscarabin
- Excited to try this out, it’s sitting next to the ps4 unwrapped till I finish tlou2.ben_
- ps4 is ending with a bang.inteliboy
- most times my haiku experience are quite decentjaylarson
- Are these your shots?scarabin
- scarabin, yeah, I captured all of these in-game using photo mode.elahon
- Nice composition!scarabin
- Thanks! The photo mode is amazing, there's so much control! More shots from this and other games:
https://twitter.com/…elahon - Do you play red dead online? What lvl are you?scarabin
- Nah, never got around to red dead online, 1 or 2. GTAV online, either. More of a solo player.elahon
- Even COD games, I have the other players muted, hahaelahon

After all that police violence and BLM -- is a new GTA 6 even possible?
- they should update this classic
https://www.youtube.…Bluejam - Play in a city with no police but now milita/military lockdown and still trying to run heist, how could they not make another?BabySnakes
- a police state + militarized civilian gta would be creepy but would be something new. racing through the curfew emptied streets running from 'peacekeepers'mantrakid
- would be good training for whatever shit path the world is already onmantrakid
- 100% the new GTA will have a police officer as a playable character. Rockstar love making social commentary.inteliboy
- ^ yeah. In some ways all the kerfuffle gives them more to go at. 50p says it'll be Miami and episodic, with play-as-the-virus DLC.MrT
- R* don't care. It will be as juvenile and stupid as the rest of the series. Nothing will change, they will make massive earnings.Nutter
- We can only hope Nutter, we can only hope.TOMMYxGUNN
- they should update this classic
- duckseason2
- yayernexbcn
- Damn, no release date. Hope they announce at E3.DRIFTMONKEY
- hopefully it releases this year.EightyDeuce
- send new pantsWeyland
- i am soooo happy!cruddlebub
- let me go get my Pip-boyESKEMA
- the logo at the end looks like an energy drinkBen99
- So it's a game about a dog. And Fallout Boy.stoplying
- elahon5
Yessssss, this looks.gorgeous.
- definitely preordering!jaylarson
- not gonna want to wait to play this. sony studios hasn't disappointed yet! /nerdjaylarson
- Yep, and I was hoping that it wasn't going to be too much like Sekiro, I SUUUCK at Souls-like games, haha. Can't wait for this.elahon
- Yep looks brilliant. I can’t afford all the controllers you need for souls etc but I’m in for this.MrT
- yupmoldero
- sekiro and hzd = good combojaylarson

- ton't be so ashamed. Hatred shows violence how it really is. This game is a mirror of the world we live in. It's not the mirrors fault that the face looking at it is ugly.mekk
- mirrors fault that the face looking at it is ugly.mekk
- I don't think it mirrors everyday life nor should everyone become so desensitised to such visuals and actions.sem
- Your argument is pretty much saying "well, there are pedophiles in the world so whats wrong with a pedophile video game?! blame the world"sem
- game where you have to abuse children etc to earn points and achievements? there are lines you don't cross.sem
- Just because something happens in the world does not mean we ignore our morals. We should be able to say things are wrong.sem
- wrong when they are wrong without someone being like "well if you don't like it, don't live on this planet"sem
- the pedophile card, huh?mekk
- Fuck off with that pedo argument.DRIFTMONKEY
- Lol @ the people getting butt hurt because I made a valid point. Peedo card is bad, but mindless murder and execution is ok.sem
- is ok? I wonder how many people pro this game would support it if it was called ISIS Simulator.sem
- exploitation gaming, not gonna say it's super evil turrible, but it kinda isWeyland
- Its´'s to be understood as an actual piece of art and a mirror of our deepest fears. Way better than pressing 'F' to pay respects.mekk
- so fucked upfadein11
- this is absolutely everything i hate about video games and the video game looser nerds in one trailerinteliboy
- ps i love video games. but unfortunately it seems a huge amount of gamers are absolute dickheads.inteliboy
- this is fuckin violent manbenfal99
- I hate purposeful attempts to be controversial and get free publicity. It usually backfires in the end...ETM
- If you want to get talked about, be innovative.ETM
- this is sick. who the fuck makes this shit?Milan
- " i love video games. but unfortunately it seems a huge amount of gamers are absolute dickheads" PREACH!sem

Whatever happened to mobile gaming? It was supposed to overtake all consoles. And here I have my fancy new Samsung Galaxy S10 with 8GB Ram and a CPU almost on par with some laptops and yet all the mobile games (on iOS and Android) still suck and are stuck at the same level they were 5-10 years ago.
There were only a handful triple-A mobile games like "Modern Combat" and EA Sports titles but that's about it.
I just don't understand the game industry and developers: Here you have a massive market, yet the games are still mostly "stupid" casual games.
iOS & Android could easily compete with Nintendo Switch if the devs developed or ported games to mobile phones. But no...
- The use modes prevent meaningful contentcannonball1978
- interface is useless on touchscreen unfortfadein11
- ^
It all boils down to buttons, or a lack thereofNairn - Small screen + no controller = sucks.section_014
- The only games suited to smartphones are the stupid casual ones. COD on an iPhone is like After Effects on an iPad Pro.MrT
- Turns out people won't pay triple-A prices for mobile games. At all. They want $3 or free with in-app purchases only.monospaced
- I think a lot of gamers prefer their television sets and home audio anyway. And of course, the big console players fought back hard with innovation.monospaced
- ^ what mono said. Even $3 is too much for most. Has ruined the entire mobile gaming industry. Micro-payments and all that rubbish is in every damn iOS game.inteliboy
- users with hardware like s10+ are not the norm and the market is dependent on pay2win etc. because apps have to be freemekk
- mobile gaming is trash and will always be. Get a switch if you want mobile gaming.mekk
- Nintendo cut them off at the pass. If Samsung (and then Apple, a year later) built Switch-like controllers it might change...i_monk
- we've had stupid ass controllers for smartphones for years now and everyone failed miserably.mekk

The Sinking City – Cinematic Trailer
- Cooolmantrakid
- Trippy.ideaist
- Might as well just be a movie. Zero idea what this "game" is.CygnusZero4
- Thank heavens they're not referring to it as a cinematic trailer then.Nairn
- Kinda Edge of Tomorrow / Cthulu . "Open world" sounds interestingjaylarson
- bit to many rip offs but never say no to playing lovecraft!mugwart
- hah neat trailerNutter
