Angry the Clown

I was surprised myself. My first attempt was 1min 17 or thereabouts. I got very lucky on my timing on my final run once I knew the layout of the course.

How much work would it actually take for them to just let all copies of something like that and Last Guardian run at 60 with a patch?

Shame to lose him. Seems like the final end of an era for WDI.

The PS5 version at least got the the new lighting for the next-gen consoles as noted in the patch, but I see where you're coming from as far as anything else is concerned. I was actually thinking less about the fact Series X has 120hz and more that XB1X and SeriesX run it at native 4k and what it would take to bump that up on the PS5 (not that it doesn't look lovely as it is having tried it last week). The "improved visual quality" for PS5 alongside the lighting note is pretty vague.

This game is more sinister than I had anticipated.

It's curious why they can't bring the PS5 version up to parity with the Series X.

Fellowship of the Ring's green tint from the Blu-ray is seemingly no more.

3.0 patch seems to be rolling out today: General Added Fostar Haven as a map to Dogfight and Fleet Battles (Solo/Co-Op vs AI and PvP) Added next gen improvements The game now supports up to 120FPS and up to 4K on Xbox Series X|S Added an option for players on the Xbox Series X|S to prioritize enhanced visuals or enhanced performance Improved visual quality and lighting on PS5 Variable frame rate support added for TVs and monitors that allow it Fixed an issue where the game could crash while changing loadouts

I think, having also bought Dreams, the only other sale title I am going to get is Control and put it to one side until the PS5 patch is available. I'm curious too see what ends up in the December/Christmas sale as a lot of the year's big titles are in the Black Friday offer.

I'll give worms a go.

Damn. I knew I was bad at games but it turns out I'm bad at consoles too! Anyway, Speed run done. That's everything.

I didn't know that was even a thing! Has it ALWAYS been a thing?

I think your best bet is to do what I'm planning. Since like me you also own Hitman, wait for the Gold edition of II to be on sale again around the time you expect III to get a discount, then you've got all the missions enhanced under one roof to play through. It doesn't make sense for me to grab II right now when I'm unlikely to have the funds to buy III on release.

I just have the speed run trophy to get and then I'll have the Platinum. You definitely need a guide to find out what some of the obscure hidden trophies are.

I'm tempted to grab Hitman II Gold Edition in the PSN sale right now and put it to one side, but given I am not sure how soon I will buy III I can probably leave it until a time when I can get both II and III at a discount.

Can confirm my Dualsense now charges via the front USB!

Latest firmware update released today reports to fix the controller USB charging bug. I'll try it later and see for myself. This system software update improves system performance. An issue where installed disc versions of games were sometimes deleted was resolved. An issue that prevented the PS5 wireless controller from being charged while in rest mode when connected to the PS5's front side USB Type-A port using the USB cable included with some PS5 consoles was resolved. https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps5/system-software/

I still need to buy Hitman 2 and complete the first game, although I am probably better off rolling ownership of both into III and enjoying the visual and a.i enhancements they will receive. They say in this video that native 4k, 60fps, lighting and npc a.i will be patched in to cover the entire trilogy.

It's possible third party devs had a lot less time than first to get to grips with the Dualsense (no pun intended). I think if anything will really show what it can do for racing games it will probably be Gran Turismo. We'll have to wait and see. Dit 5 is tumbling down in price quite quickly. It's already £35 here via a lot of retailers (I'm still having to prioritise Sackboy and Demon's Souls as my next purchases however).

Paramount will release Mousehunt on Blu-ray on 2nd of February. This makes me ludicrously happy. They'll also be releasing Small Soldiers.

Also, the loss of data I had when one of the crashes caused a cloud sync error with my save was likely my fault. When I got the notification about the cloud sync error I continued playing, assuming it was a server bug and something that would fix itself in time. I realised at a later point that I could in fact click the error notification and re-sync, only I think I automatically assumed it would sync from my local save to the cloud, but it seemed to do the reverse and replace my local save with the cloud save prior to the crash that caused error, which was of course a couple of hours behind i

Two out of the six or so crashes I had caused this continued high pitched wince inducing "bbzzzzzzzzttttttttttt" from the audio when it froze and then crashed the system. Those were the most unnerving. I must have played for a good 5hrs straight on Sunday in New Game Plus without a hitch though. The crashes in the game are so random and I wonder if that's what's taking Insomniac so long to figure out the root cause because I found that they always occurred at different times, with no discernible link between what was happening in game (whether it was a cut scene, whether I was swinging, fighti

I noticed something interesting. The few PS4 games I had bought via a secondary US PSN account years ago (Star Wars Battlefront amongst them), and shared to my UK account at the time, can seemingly now be downloaded from the UK store despite having not even set up my US account on my PS5 yet. I always recall my understanding of having multiple-region accounts being that you'd set one region as a kind of parent account, and buy/download what you want, then log into any other regional accounts on the same system and what you downloaded on the parent account would be there to play universally. I

It's 100% on the cards for purchase in late December for me.

I played through MM's game 'Art's Dream,' which is basically the closest thing Dreams has to a story mode with everything having been created entirely with the Dreams toolset and it's simply mind boggling what can be done. It deliberately mixes up genres from platforming, r-type shooters, rhythm action and even point and click adventure. The create tools are definitely going to take some time to get acquainted with.
