● The PlayStation 5 Thread - Astro's Playroom sells 10m copies

The other deliveroo guys.

I liked the cat girl but I don't think this game is for me. Looks very much like a game for the YouTube "influencer" generation.

Not a fan of the art style. Always loved the idea of arena Destruction Derby and so I will definitely be giving this a try. I mean, it'll be on PS+, yes?

Yes it'll be on PS+.

I can't see me getting a PS5 before middle of Feb now depending on how many come in on the 2nd of Feb. People are just too quick

Godfall is £37.97 at Amazon.

...plus Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition is £25.99 and Mortal Kombat 11 Ultimate is £27.99.

...and Immortals Fenyx Rising is £36.99. I'm kinda surprised that these games have dropped in price so quickly.

Sackboy A Big Adventure.

I've completed the main story and it was fantastic. One of the best PS5 launch games I think and I'm going to Plat it soon.

I would recommend to anybody to play this.

As soon as Jawa finds it for less than £40, I'm in.

Had a bit of free time over Christmas so I worked on a small project some of you might find useful, thought I'd share: https://www.backwards-compatible.com

I built it mainly for myself just as an easy way to look up performance of PS4 games on PS5. Much of the data came from Resetera but I've since been updating as and when games get patched, plus you can browse by various tags like Locked 60 FPS, HDR, Exclusives etc.

Let me know if you spot any errors or have ideas to improve it!

This is excellent, I can see myself using this a lot.

Brilliant site, have already used it a couple of times with a view to buying a couple of cheap PS4 games in the PSN sale. Thanks!

Do you want people to share the link on Twitter, etc, or would that hammer the site and kill it?

Great work, and thank you for making it.

I'm well impressed by your work, Holpil! The site is very well presented; it looks smart and slick. Super stuff, man!

This is strawberry floating excellent! It visually looks like a legitimate pro site. I love that it has a clean appearance, the game artwork/listings are big, it makes them stand out and helps keep the page tidier. Also, when highlighted they move from being at angle to full on flat, I haven't seen that effect before. Great search options! And as there will be more BC updates to come it's good you added an update page. Earlier this week I was buying AC Odyssey (again) and actually went into the PS5 thread here to find I think SoK's link to the ResetEra thread, so this would have been helpful. This is what is needed and it will become more relevant as PS5 user base grows and BC usage grows, so putting a discreet advert on each page could make it financially worth the time you put into it. One strong recommendation for the whole website... is the stylisation of PlayStation with the capital S. If you are going to be continuing support of this I will spread the word in the way I can.

I hope it gets loads of visits and brings you success dude. Brilliant.

what backend are you using for this?

Cheers guys, I wasn't expecting much response so I'm glad you find it useful!

Feel free to share! I'm using AWS for serving images so it should be fine. The hosting is shared with some client sites though, so if it does get hammered I'll move it sharpish.

Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. I can't believe in 20 odd years I've never noticed that Station is capitalised, but now it's obvious! I'll make that change now. I don't have any plans for ads, but I'll be doing my best to keep it up to date.

The site uses ProcessWire, which is more of a content management framework than a CMS, think Laravel but with a CMS already built in. It's great, if you're into web dev (and don't mind PHP) I recommend giving it a try. For CSS I only use Bootstrap Grid for breakpoints, I prefer to do all of the styling by hand. Also Fancybox JS and Font Awesome.
