I picked up the ps5 on Monday. Fully intending to finish days gone in ps4 first however I’m impatient and just opened it and want to fire it up. Will it transfer my saved game data like the Xbox does? I was a paid up plus member until I cancelEd my sub about a year ago.

Also for those with both a 5 and a series x, is there any noticeable differences between them when playing the same game or is it just a preference of which controller you prefer? I have RDR2 on ps4 and Xbox. Never got very far through it and intend to start again. just wondering which console it runs best on. Was stunning on the x.
 
@Vandle if you have any ps plus subscription then the saves should be in the cloud already.

In addition you can migrate installed games from your ps4 as long as they are both on the same network.

If your ps4 has a usb hard drive with games installed, then you can unplug it and plug it straight into the ps5 and it will work

Ah, wicked. Thanks.
 
Is there anyway to get the remastered Spiderman on ps5 cheaper than the £20 upgrade vua the ps store?. I have the miles morales ps5 version via extra, as opposed to buying the disc version which (I think) came with Spiderman remastered.

I have a 49% NG+ game save from PS4 I'd like to complete at some point. And after playing miles morales at 60fps playing the 30fps PS4 Spiderman on ps5 just doesn't cut it!

Imo they should advertise the actual usable size on the box.

They wouldn't be able to because it varies.

I'd imagine last-gen games will mostly run better on the Xbox due to their backwards compatibility enhancements.

I’m not too sure as I already own the remaster. It’s worth it though. Couldn’t put it down when I was playing it.


Cannot wait to see insomniacs next game. (Wolverine?) I think that’s going to be fantastic.

Check it but with the PS5 version I bought it came with all the DLC content as well which I hadn’t played before so I felt it was worth it and it is a nice graphical upgrade to an already nice looking game. And yeah 60fps is a dream in a game like this.

Cheapest way is to look for a store with a sale on the Ultimate version of miles as Spiderman ps5 is included.
Unfortunately it's code based so that rules out used copies.
Keep your eyes peeled on hotukdeals website or other price comparison sites.

Thanks. I already bought the full PS4 version with dlc back when I owned a PS4 pro. I completed all the DLC as well.

I think I will just pay the £20, begrudgingly, via the upgrade menu in miles morales. It's a bit cheeky considering apart from a few assets and suits it's probably the exact same game data but whatever!

I see some SSDs I like that i can get next day delivery.

Anyone got either 1tb or 2tb of the below and can confirm they work well:

Kingston KC3000 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD​

Sabrent ROCKET NVMe4 2TB. (not the plus version)
Crucial P5 Plus 2TB

Lesson learned after a frustrating morning here!
Installed days gone on the ps5 yesterday which included downloading the latest patches of 30gb. Launched the game but no saved data.
Plugged the ps4 in this morning to do the network transfer, all went well but couldn’t bring over the days gone data because some already existed on the ps5. Eventually found out how to remove the game and the 30g update. Start again…
Seems the saved game data isn’t in the same spot os the actual game data. Found it and deleted it. Start again…
All goes well after a short transfer although have to reinstall the game and re-download the update patches :rolleyes:. Looks like I didn’t have to delete the game, just the saved data. Tried launching the game without the update and it gets to the start screen and now has an option to continue game so it’s definitely seeing some saved game data however it fails to launch proper and generates an error report.
Hopefully once the download finishes it sorts itself out! I had the chance to transfer all the patches from the ps4 but for some reason I thought it would be quicker to download. Not sure why.

I have to say though, Xbox interface and menus etc is still streets ahead of Sony imo.
 
I buckled at about 2am last night and ordered online. 1tb Crucial P5 Plus arrived at 930am, along with Eluteng Heatsink. Took about 10 mins to watch a video and install it. Read speed shows as 5645 MB/s in the PS5 settings. Moved Demon Souls (53.7GB) to the SSD in 43 seconds.

Might buy Hogwarts Legacy later. Seems quite popular on this forum and with some people in my office!

Everyone’s opinion will differ, but I agree, xbox UI is not exactly great but I find it easier that ps5 UI. I used to find the UI fine on PS but whenever they changed it, it’s got worse, more button presses to do simple things.

Hogwarts Legacy is good but it’s got it’s open world bloat like most open world games, there is also areas of the map that are just empty, perhaps dlc at later date to fill it. It’s a great looking game with nice details in Hogwarts and Hogsmeade. I think now the initial shine has worn off for me, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, loot from chests and gear is really poor in this, and to many fetch quests for my liking, going to crack on with main quest and leave it at that. Basically there is a lot that they could have done better.

Thinking about picking up a ps5.
I hear they did a revised version. CFI 1200, lighter, 6nm less watts etc.
How am I supposed to know which version I'll get. None of the retailer's state this.
Or is it not worth worrying about

Unless you can buy in person and see the model number on the box, then it's a lottery (although you think given stock shortages, all earlier models would now be gone and only the 2nd and 3rd revisions CFI1100 or CFI1200 would be remaining)

Not worth worrying about either way.
