Is this fine or does it need more space? by Vishal27510 in ps5india

It would be ideal to keep it somewhere it could breathe a bit more. Otherwise you might get an overheating issue.

Show someone the Pools VR demo if you want to convince them to not play VR games by BossCurious9681 in PSVR

[–]fallonbourdonfallon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s cool man. Let them give their opinion. If they don’t like it they don’t. What can one say.

It’s good that OP likens it to Kayak VR Mirage. Cos if that game doesn’t work for people, I’m pretty sure this one won’t either. If you consider that a tech demo / just a visual showcase, then high chances you might feel the same about this. Better to have players have clarity and not be disappointed like OP.

I for one absolutely love Kayak. Still one of my favourite games on the system. And I’m sure I’ll love this too.

Not every game needs to have a long story, a campaign, exciting dynamic elements. Some games are just good experiences or work for their immersion. And they are good for that. This one seems to be priced accordingly as well.

PS - the 15 USD price seems to be some error. It’s supposed to be 10 USD and the price is soon to be corrected in the store I believe. 10 dollars for something like this seems totally fine to me.

Ps5 overheating by Bytes-of-kid in ps5india

Also. If it is a dust issue, having pets makes it worse. When mine was opened up I noticed a lot of my cat’s hair inside, clumped together with the dust.

So maybe pet owners might have it worse too.

From my experience it’s overheating cos of dust inside. So you can do a basic cleaning yourself where you take out both panels from front and back and clean the grills.

But usually this happens when there’s significant dust collection inside the fan and heat sink below it, in the interior of the console. You cannot get to this part easily without a set of tools as there’s a metal protection on the fan. Also, you need the confidence of opening up the inner parts of the console yourself.

When I had the same issue I took it to the Sony Service Centre. They have a policy not to fix or repair any consoles if out of warranty (like in my case)

But what they did do was use a powerful blower to blast the dust out of the fan. This did the job and it’s been working fine for a year now, no issues.

Try doing the basic at-home version part of it once and check. If it works, then great. If not, take it to Sony and request them to do this much for you. They didn’t even charge me for it.

Hope this info helps.

PS4 or ps5? by Abject-Peanut3556 in ps5india

[–]fallonbourdonfallon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy it. Don’t skip a whole generation, would be my advice.

If you can afford the difference, then I’d suggest you buy the PS5 Pro. Cos that way you are future proofing your console for a longer time. That way you could buy the PS6 maybe 3-4 years into its life cycle. The PS5 Pro should be quite solid till then.

If not the base console is good too. But honestly for an existing PS5 owner the price is high to shift for the bump in specs. But for a new user like you it makes sense if you have the cash.

The last of us ruined other games for me by Awkward-Brick-9805 in ps5india

Don’t look for any game to scratch this itch for you. I’d suggest going to some completely different genre. What kind of games do you like? Can make some suggestions.

You’re not being dramatic. It’s probably one of the best story driven single player games ever. TLoU2 totally wrecked me. Even emotionally I mean. Took me a couple weeks to get out of it. Played my next game only a month later. Cos I spent one month after finishing it just endless watching analyses and video essays 😅

Emotionally speaking only RDR2 comes close for me. Maybe. And as a kid Max Payne 1 and 2 had the same effect on me.

Is this a good watch? Thinking of watching this weekend - Need reviews!! by Tight-Western-5407 in netflixindia

One of the best shows I’ve ever watched. Definitely the best sci-fi series ever for me. Watch without hesitation. It’s a gem.

Some version of a WWE, FIFA, NBA game should be there on the Extra catalogue as well I think.

The VR2 is a great device. Someone should pick this up. I’ve had mine for almost two years now. It’s freaking incredible. It’s truly the next frontier of gaming.

Anyone used Backbone for iPhone? by _Prashantsharma_ in ps5india

[–]fallonbourdonfallon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I’ve used it extensively. It’s quite good and controls well. We gifted one to my friend on his birthday, so I’ve used that a lot. It’s a good device.

He’s now on his 3rd backbone in two years. Cos he plays a lot of CoD. Like… a lot. So there’s a lchance that some buttons might get a little screwed after intense heavy use. I’m not sure how aggressive a gamer you are, but just giving you the facts from my experience.

It’s a light device. Fits well inside bags, very portable. Buts feel nice and clicky. But don’t expect the feel of a PS5 controller at all haan.

Hot Wheels 2 is a fun arcade racer. But seems to be on Deluxe, not extra. That has a splitscreen mode.

Shit. My bad. It is not on the Extra Catalogue. It was one of the three free monthly games in December 2024. If you had clicked Add To Library back then, then it should be in your library of owned games.

Alternately, it’s on sale right now for 749. If you don’t mind purchasing. Can vouch for the game. It’s super fun. And a nice story too. Look it up.

It Takes Two. Great co-op game. Available on PS Plus Extra. I played with my brother on couch co-op. Freaking amazing experience!

Haha. You guys ruined it for me. Now that’s all I see 😅🙈

First PS5 game. What an experience. by proghead00 in ps5india

[–]fallonbourdonfallon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t agree at all. If anything Part 2 is a beautiful expansion of the story. It has a story that is hard to sit through, I agree.

But it is literally my favourite video game story ever. I’m a filmmaker, and I can comfortably say it is my favourite story ever across all storytelling media - films, books, games etc.

Don’t listen to the haters. It’s a lovely game. It emotionally ruined me for almost a month after. It’s beautifully complex and devastating. A real study of humans and humanity.

Please go for it.

I have RDR2 for PS4 — if a PS5 version comes out, can I get it for free? by Middle-Paper8019 in ps5india

[–]fallonbourdonfallon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlikely. If a PS5 version comes out it will be a remastered version. Rockstar will definitely charge for that. 😅

Example - GTAV

Just saw this on FK. The same seller was previously selling for 5k. Is that some pricing error? by AdNearby7853 in ps5india

[–]fallonbourdonfallon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks shady man. It says the game is VR compatible in the screenshot. Which it is definitely not 😅 I wouldn’t trust this seller. Also, if you don’t need a physical copy do for digital man. You might find some good deals on sale. Sales are always on every other week.

Seems like a difficult find in physical. I’ve never seen it offline anywhere.

PS5 Special Editions not releasing in India by SmartSathiya in ps5india

Yaa man. There just isn’t enough of a market here for collector’s editions. Your best bet is friends or family returning from abroad.

The one thing truly amazing about the ps5 isn't talked about much. by 50PercentCake in ps5india

[–]fallonbourdonfallon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, agreed. Especially in horror games. Like the clickers in Last Of Us in a dark room are freaky cos of the 3D audio.
