PlayStation 5 [CHAT II] | PS5 | KK exclusively reveals a hot new app on PlayStation

I have found another can, will give it a go tomorrow and see if it helps (I have my doubts in this specific case, but I agree it is excellent stuff).

Well, hope it works out for you.

Update - it didn't

Oh, did it make it worse or just the same?

I have not tried it on an actual game yet, but it feels exactly the same as it did before. Its like a very pronounced sticky resistance when gently rocking the analogue stick "up". The right stick does not do it, nor either of the sticks on my other controller.

Never mind, it will just be my "in case of emergency" controller. I never play local co-op with anyone anyway.

Finished the Lake yesterday. Definitely wasn’t expecting a random cameo from…

…the bloke from The Office, playing a metal detector bloke outside the Motel.

Weirdly, despite the sheer mundanity of it all, I wouldn’t mind seeing these characters again in 3 or 4 years.

Yeah, that's such a weird appearance He's actually playing his character from the Detectorists

Stray was good.

I don’t remember this at all!

I don’t know how random it is, but it’s easily missed. On my penultimate delivery, he’s outside the motel (during a thunder and lightning storm in my case) milling around the bushes and shrubbery.

I managed to Platinum the game and there’s quite a few that could easily be overlooked, such as the hidden church, lookout tower and camera, which allows you to take photographs about town.

[kazanova_Frankenstein]

Maybe I will go back to it and see if there is anything else I missed.

Oh no.

[Captain Kinopio]

I very much doubt they'll do anything with that as it would be such a spectacular own goal that MS could just make them look like absolute banana splits for.

That said, absolutely nothing would surprise me with Sony this gen as they seem absolutely determined to be the biggest pricks they can be this gen and seem to relish in treating their customers with absolute contempt.

Also strawberry float Jim Ryan.

Definitely happening then

Love how the question doesn't give the option of saying you don't want any

Stuff Magazine has reviewed Sony's new PlayStation InZone M9 gaming monitor:

Ballad of PC riser

Sony’s console-friendly gaming monitor looks PS5-ready, but it’s also designed to wow keyboard-and-mouse players

1. 8mm high There’s height and tilt adjustment, but not a lot of either, and no pivot or swivel at all. At least it plays nicely with VESA mounts and arms.

RRP: £999.99

The M9’s 4K IPS panel offers very good viewing angles and overly saturated out-of-the-box colours. This gives games plenty of punch, with vibrant hues to go with ample brightness, but it’s a pain if you’re also going to use it for work and need accuracy.

■ Full Array Local Dimming (FALD) puts the InZone M9 in a class above rival monitors for HDR. Destiny 2’s explosive Guardian abilities really light up parts of the screen, and Cyberpunk 2077’s Night City looks more stunning than ever. It’s not going to match the best TVs, mind.

■ Response times aren’t quite as snappy as the claimed 1ms, even on the most favourable settings, but are still up there with the best gaming monitors at this price. Games move smoothly with no torn frames, thanks to the choice of variable refresh rate for consoles and FreeSync or G-Sync for PCs.

■ The built-in back-firing speakers are disappointingly average. While they get loud enough, they remain extremely tinny. You might find yourself reaching for a headset for anything more than YouTube clips.

■ There's no shortage of settings available through the onscreen display – which is clean, responsive and sensibly organised. There’s also PC software that lets you create presets for specific games that kick in when you boot them up… although for us it didn’t always switch when it was supposed to.

■ Connectivity includes DisplayPort 1.4, USB-C (with DP Alt mode) and two HDMI 2.1 ports. Both of these can only do 4K at 120Hz; DisplayPort is good for 144Hz. Inputs change automatically when a signal is detected.

VERDICT: Given Sony’s TV expertise, it’s no surprise the InZone M9 gets so much right. Local dimming gives it HDR abilities that are well beyond the edge-dimming alternatives, and the styling will certainly appeal to PS5 owners. Crucially, though, it doesn’t skimp on PC-focused features. Overall ergonomics could be a little better, and the speakers aren’t much cop at all, but the user-friendly interface is refreshing.

A great option for desktop gamers wanting an HDR experience. 4/5

In other words Good, but probably not worth the £1000! asking price. Knock £200 off, however...

What's the chance for Horizon Forbidden West to be available on PS+?

Asda offer £34.99 for a PS5 copy. Tempting.

[KK]

No doubt it will be eventually, but if you want to play it now I'd be amazed if it turned up before you finish it.

I'm thinking the next Sony title to be added to PS Plus/Extra will either be Uncharted Legacy of Thieves Collection or one of the PS5 Spider Man games.

I'm sure it will be on PS+ or Extra one day, but the question is when?

Both Uncharted and Spider-Man games already are on PS+/Extra, I'm sure of it.

[KK]

I think they're just the PS4 versions.

I can't see Horizon 2 on Plus/Extra until mid 2023 at the earliest, as they've still got stuff like Spider Man Miles Morales, Returnal and Ratchet and Clank to add, and they all came out earlier.

Miles Morales and Returnal are available now. I'm playing Returnal lately and it was included in PS+ Extra.

[Jenuall]

I reckon we'll be looking at an 18 month average for PS5 exculsives to appear on their service - that might change over time depending on how well they are doing and whether they feel the need to move closer to the MS model

[KK]

Returnal according to Wikipedia came out 30th April 2021, so if Horizon 2 followed a similar path, you’d be looking about, what, March/April 2023? I can’t see them jumping Ratchet and Clank, which should then be next if they’re going in order (launched 11 June 2021).
