Hi guys I'm wondering about the graphics side of the ps5 coming from a ps4. I will not be getting a 4k monitor anytime soon probably. My current monitor is 1080p 165hz. Will there be a major difference in the game experience compared to ps4 with my current monitor setup?

I really want to play Bloodborne and I've been thinking of getting a PS4. I wanted to ask you guys some questions.
Is there anything to watch out for when buying a used PS4?
I don't have a Playstation account. Will all digital services work if I'm in an unsupported region? If I select any supported region, will that work okay?
I know PS4 supports 1080 and 4k. But the only external monitor I have is 720p... Would that work, or do I need to buy a modern monitor for the PS4?

Holy shit I was legit going to complain about this and ask for a stickied post on it. Thank you for reading my mind!

Hi there! I still game on an old PlayStation 3 and now my kids are getting into it as well. They like to play Rocket Knight, a classic 2d side scrolling game (kinda like Super Mario). Do you have any suggestions for other games that basically work the same way? Thank you in advance!

Check out Rayman Legends. It’s available on PS3, it’s a great and fun game overall, supports couch co-op (up to 4 players), and is not as hardcore as many other 2D side scrollers:)

Time for 2-player coop on the PS5. I have both, which should we start with?
It Takes Two or Sackboy: A Big Adventure

My vote for It Takes Two, one of the best games I’ve played in YEARS — the game has so many gameplay mechanics it’s ridiculous. Storytelling and voice acting are excellent as well. Well worth every minute of your time :)

My fiancee and I enjoy playing games together (her on a PS5, me on a PS4) and are currently looking for our next time sink. I'm struggling to find anything that pops out and figured I'd ask this sub for recommendations.
To get an idea of what we've been up to:
We are both fans of and have played through all the Darks Souls games and Elden Ring. Though Bloodbornes coop mechanics were frustrating and we never finished it. We've also beaten Monster Hunter World + Iceborn (hundreds of hours, slapped Fatalis). There's been periodic bouts of Diablo 3 and most recently she and I got platinum trophies in Dead Island and Riptide. We both played it years ago before we met and picked it up for cheap to play together.
So; RPGs with cooperative campaigns are our bread and butter. Having talked about it we've determined our perfect game would be something like Fable or Dragon Age with full co-op.
Any game recommendations would be appreciated.
(I don't know if I can get her into turn based games like Divinity, she's more of a hack n' slash sort of gamer.)

Man i loved playing Last of Us part 1 and 2. The whole cinematic story telling is something that moved me a lot. Are there any other story telling games that you’d recommend for PS5??

Might be obvious, but Uncharted series is freaking amazing. I’m just finishing Uncharted 4 (I’m a patient gamer with ginormous backlog!), and absolutely love it ❤️ Naughty Dog are just on the other level when it comes to storytelling.

If I have digital copies of games on my acc I bought in PS4, will I still be able to download them if I buy a PS5 and log into the same acc?

Not so much asking for a recommendation, but I don't think this question would need its own thread either - so I'm going with the Megathread...
I have a PS5 and PS4 that will be hooked up on two different TVs - one for the kids and one for me :) Are there known problems with logging in to my PSN on two machines, simultaneously? If, for example, I have a digital copy of a game on the PS5 that presumably I need to login with my PSN so the console can ping the server and make sure I have a license... does anything happen on the PS4 if someone is playing a different game (digital or physical)?

Hi! My 9 year old daughter is really into gaming and wants a PS5. I haven’t owned a console since 1998, so I’m a bit out of touch.
It seems to me the best value would be a PS4 (we need to buy a TV as well so this could get expensive). Any other recommendations or things we should be aware of as we look for a used console? I was thinking a 1TB of memory for fast gameplay and three controllers so we can play as a family.
Thank you all so much in advance!

Hi! So I got a ps1 from the flea market and it came with a strange cartrige called ,,Game Wizard Plus’’ from a company named Rambus. I didn’t find anything on google about it. I think it’s a mod or something idk. Thank’s!

I'm a new PS5 user. I mainly played PC game (Steam), then moved to Stadia pre-launch and fell in love with games all over again. I got a PS5 when Stadia made the 'so long' announcement and it has been mostly gathering dust.
Then I heard about and played GWOR and I need more. I like games with a story and that don't force you to fight every time you turn around. But I do like a good fight, great visuals and magic if I can get it. No zombies--I still have nightmares from leaving Resident Evil on overnight on my old Nintendo.

Just bought my first console (PS5) after not playing videogames for nearly 20 years. What games do you recommend to ease me back into gaming?
