Now to decide whether to play God of War, Spiderman 4 or Horizon Zero Dawn next. So much choice it's awesome!

All excellent games, though GoW is my favourite. Have you played it before?

Nope never played it. Have heard how good it is so considering that. Although I am picking up Ghost of Tsushima today.

Well, I don't want to inflate your expectations too much, just let us know what you think of it.

"may"

I don't know if this is a well known bit of info or not but the PS5 has a noise reduction setting turned on by default when watching blu ray/4K discs. So if you're watching movies on disc, make sure to press the options button and turn it off.

Do you mean noise reduction of the PS5 fan noise or noise reduction limiting the audio from the film?

As in picture quality. It's set to clear up any "noise" in the video quality but my understanding is that, in most cases, it can actually make picture quality worse.

I didn't know about it on launch and only stumbled across it yesterday before I started watching Fury Road so I thought it'd be worth mentioning.

Ohh, a third option of noise I hadn't even considered

Does it try to smooth out film grain or something?

I believe it's something like that. Sorry, my technical understanding is a little lacking but people say to turn it off

This explains it:



You should also switch audio format in the media player if you have Atmos/DTSX capable equipment. (PS5 games and PS5 media player have their own settings; switching it on/off in one won't carry the setting over in the other.)

Don't miss out Sackboy A Big Adventure!

It's great fun and so joyful to play.

Best TV settings if you have a Samsung Q90T / Q80T:

Started Watch Dogs Legion today. Not off to the most engaging of starts...and the game has already crashed twice (the 1st time within the opening 6 minutes!).

The reflections on all the windows is very impressive though.

It’s not crashed for me but I have stopped playing it for a while as I couldn’t really get into it and language and voice acting makes me cringe

It's a stunning game in parts. It's brilliant to see London and to walk down streets I've visited. But the actual gameplay is broken. Completely unbalanced and the lack of any activities like crimes to stop or even take part in makes the world feel flat.

The random accent generator is also ridiculous, none of them fit their characters.

But the reflections in the puddles when it rains are amazing. A great game to show off next gen with and then play something that else.
