Could just be struggling, it’s a pretty awesome game visually but would imagine it would strain any PS4 model besides the Pro. It got a bit better when I started playing, but it's still very loud and in some of the more obviously pre-rendered bits it's quite loud. I could do with opening it up and reapplying the thermal paste tbh, I don't think Sony do a good job of the cooling on these things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Has anyone played Death Stranding on PS4 and 5? And is it really worth paying the £5 to upgrade it to the PS5 version? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Directors Cut is the massive addition with a lot of extra tech, few extra jobs etc. Although even if it is just the performance stuff, I'd say a fiver is good 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it's Director's Cut on PS5 for a fiver; downloading now. Started with the PS4 version and it looks incredible, I'm skeptical it can look even better than it does as a result [emoji38] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Gerstmann has left Giant Bomb: https://www.giantbomb.com/articles/giant-news/1100-6230/ This news has felt inevitable since the rest of the old school crew left last year. I like the current crew and will tune into hear about the changes tomorrow, but I fear the site doesn't have very long to go now. Might be what it's needed as I found the site had become quite stale over the last few years. I stopped listening to the bombcast a long time ago and when Vinny, Brad and Alex left to do their own thing I stopped going to the site completely. It was hard to tell what the site even was really since then. I do like the vast majority of the people involved now so will probably give it another go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 I've spent the best part of the past two and a half hours taking apart my PS4 and applying new thermal paste to try and make it not go at max fan speed when there's too many trees in Dirt Rally 2 or when you're in the menus in God of War. Despite not actually being able to actually lift the motherboard up because I couldn't disconnect the power supply (at either end) it is currently turned on, silent and... working All hail Japanese consumer electronics. And blind luck, clearly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just watched a video from a guy who buys non-functional PCs for a couple of quid, cleans them up, changes the thermal paste, and most of the time they don't need anything else done to make them work. I guess a lot of people are kinda happy to have the excuse to buy themselves a new machine and don't look into it much. It used to be broken CD/DVD drives with games consoles - people chucking them out because they wouldn't read discs anymore. Wee bit of grease on the lens rails and they'd start working again just fine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an absolute arseache when you start doing something like that, then realise that the screws aren't all the same length/width/thread 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I get that, I only played some of the older ones ages ago so can't compare too much but I'd say this one isn't linear but it's probably as close to as an open world game gives you, I feel like the map is just 2 paths the whole time whereas one is just loot and side missions and the other is the story way to go, not a game that would be easy to grab every side part alongside the main stuff, plenty of times I ended up going too far up a path that I couldn't easily go back for the sidey stuff. Not a game you can easily get lost exploring really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just tried it there and my PS4 Pro is the loudest I've ever heard it. Even louder than the times where I'd die in Ace Combat 7 and the fan would glitch. Like unplayable levels of noise. Constant too, not like it's going up or down or different in menus or anything. yes My PS4 goes a bit hard. The game is also too fucking hard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
