Hardware and Tech / PS4 - Replacing HDD Problem
« on: October 04, 2020, 04:13:25 am »
As I'm looking to sell my PS4 PRO I've been trying to return my original, 1tb HDD into the device - Sadly it is not so simple!

I've done this many times before so I'm not sure whats up, My guess is that as I used the 1TB as an external HDD it is now formatted to NTSF and not FAT32?

When I download the Official Firmware to run on Safe Mode (Yes I download the bigger file of the two), it comes up with say the update I downloaded is corrupt - I've put this on multiple sticks one which is FAT32.

Error Code is - SU-30645-8

Luckily my 2TB HDD I use still works but I want to really put the original 1TB hdd back in for the sale so any advice would be appreciated.

Hardware and Tech / PS4 Controller broken?
« on: September 21, 2020, 10:17:45 am »
Woke up today to find my PS4 Dual-shock not wanting to co-operate - One feature of the D-4 I've always disliked is the they when I plug my USB Wire to the port in the controller, it always feels loose - this isn't my USB wire either all D-4 Controllers feel flimsy at the connection point!

When I plug in the controller in initially there is a yellow light to indicate it's charging, it glows once and then... nothing. usually when charging it will glow and change it's brightness but now, nothing.

Any advice would be appreciated -  I don't want to have to open it up as I remember the nightmares of trying to put a Dual-shock 3 back together...

Modern Video Games / PS5 General Discussion Thread
« on: September 17, 2020, 06:48:15 am »
I have had a lot of thoughts on the PS5 recently so thought I would make a generic thread for people to talk about the console.

So I bit the bullet this morning and pre-ordered the PlayStation 5 at my local GAME store with a £10 deposit.

Honestly, I'm not even bothered about the launch line up, not even remotely and don't intend to get any of the games at launch :P What made me suddenly change my mind? The notion of Final Fantasy XVI being a timed exclusive - I know it's going to be on PC to in time but I'm not a PC gamer and there is no way I would miss that at launch. There are other games I'm excited for too Resident Evil 8 & Oddworld to name a few.

The other problem is my PS4 Pro. It has been confirmed that 99% of PS4 games will run on PS5. Which made me come to the realization that once the PS5 is released I will have zero (Well maybe 1% :P) use for my PS4 Pro. I was going to wait until RE8 was released or something but my concern is that if I am intending to sell my PS4 PRO, that may go down in value by next year and I can't see the PS5 dropping price any time soon. So rather than sticking with my paperweight of a PS4 it would make sense to get rid of it now while it holds it's value right?

Now the research comes into play:
- Will the launch console be sustainable?
- 99% of PS4 titles will work? - CONFIRMED:
https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/ps5-backwards-compatibility-can-you-play-ps4-games-on-playstation-5
- Will the DLC for PS4 games be compatible on PS5 (You'd hope so right)
- Will the PS4 games be enhanced (Beyond just SSD loadtimes)
- Will I be able to play PS4 games with online capability on my PS5 - With PS4 owners? So if I play the PS4 version of Resident Evil 6 on PS5, can I play with a friend who owns the game on PS4?
- SSD, Can you use external SSD HD's on PS5? I know with Xbox Series X you have an Storage Expansion Card

Hi,

I've noticed recently that a lot of the details on the entries are turning up Blank. Many I know that I have added details to before seem to have N/A on most catagories and the  Disc & Back image deleted. I know Tombi 1 & 2 (I re-did them) were done and Bloody Roar 4 just as a couple of examples. I'm just wondering if I am the only one to notice this?

HI,

My earphones have tanked on me again, which seems to happen on a yearly basis, I've seen that the kind I got for are becoming out of production and more expensive so I am looking for help on getting an alternative.

These are the kind I get:

Sennheiser MX 365 - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sennheiser-Portable-Media-Players-Headphones-blue/dp/B004ZLV0GS/

I find most earphones built like these these days are of cheap quality, I've found these have brilliant sound quality and really enjoyed them when they work. So I am looking for something similar. I don't want earphones that have plug up your ears entirely with silicone - I just don't like the feeling, as I can hear my breathing heavily, like being underwater.

So any advice would be appreciated :)

Hi, I got Crash Nitro Kart on Xbox recently as I heard it was backwards Compatible, yet when I put it in my Xbox 360 it boots the game but freezes on the copyright info before the game starts.

The game disc has a few marks but nothing that I would have thought would cause it not to to work. SO I was wondering if anyone else had a Backwards Compatible 360 set-up & the game to tell me if it works for them.

Hi,

A friend recently told me that the 360 version of Shadow of the Damned was taken off the Xbox Marketplace. I'm curious what this means for backwards compatibility as when an Xbox 360 game put into an Xbox One it downloads a digital version off the store. I did look on the store and it isn't there! If anyone has access to it, let me know :)

Modern Video Games / Game Hunt! Help me find this game!
« on: July 18, 2020, 03:18:35 pm »
Howdy all,

I saw a game not long ago which looked interesting but can't find much up on it due to being confused with another title. I thought it was CloudPunk, but the game I was thinking of has the following features:
- CloudPunk Aesthetic
- Chibi Characters (Like in World of Final Fantasy)
- it has turn based combat - I think...
- I think it may even be in parts...
- I'm certain it's on PS4.

I've been trying to look back for a while and no luck!

I'm interested to know if this is backwards compatible - mostly for Beyond Good & Evil. I can't find out much about it & don't want to buy it then find out it isn't. I gather that the digital version of BG&E is but I'm not sure about this set with all 3 games on disc.

Seen this morning that a new Crash Bandicoot game has been leaked:

& it's called Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time

Bold move, I LOVE IT! While Crash Twinsannity is my favorite Crash game sadly it didn't catch on and for a continuation this is the best way forward. Being Crash 4 it means that All Twinsannitys lore will go to waste which is a shame... The Crash Titans/Mutants games were a reboot anyway so they can be ignored (Which after my recent attempt in playing Titans I'll happily do)

Quote
Crash is relaxing and exploring his island in his time, 1998, when he finds a mysterious mask hidden away in a cave, Lani-Loli. The mask is one of the Quantum Masks and apparently knows Aku-Aku, Crash’s mask friend! With the Quantum Masks returning and a Quantum Rift appearing near our heroes, they decide to bravely head through to different times and dimensions to stop whoever is responsible.
Seems to have a very similar take that the new Ratchet game is having... a little too similar. I hope it can keep up with the competition. I also Hope that Spyro will follow a similar bold move after that remaster too.

Hi,

One of the things I often research when looking into  modern games of this era is if the releases of a game have the DLC content on Disc or via a lousy code slip. I often just go to Gamefaqs and post a topic there.

I think it would be pretty neat to have a little extra section in the game listings to note DLC and the differences - I've been duped before in buying Game of the Year Editions and annoyed to find it isn't on disc.

Examples:
NieR: Automata - Game of the YoRHa Edition (DLC on Code)
https://vgcollect.com/item/154435

Mortal Kombat XL (DLC on Disc)
https://vgcollect.com/item/105466

Also, it might be interesting for some to list the expiry date of the DLC if applicable. I have a Destiny Limited Edition Boxset to where the DLC codes have expired.

Then there are some games like RE7 Gold Edition that has most of the DLC but then you have to download one major piece of DLC (Not A Hero) off the store for free. Maybe it would be best to have a section below Box Text titled DLC Details To where people can explain it? Or an Additional Details section, if you want to make it more suitable for games prior the age of DLC?

I'm curious to see what others think, is this something you would find interesting/beneficial? And to the mods - is this something that can be implemented?

Hi,

Interested to know a little more on Xbox Ones BC & Enhancements

When using a 360 or original Xbox title which is compatible, does it need to read the disc everytime or just once to download the title of the store? I'm wondering if I can lt my family use some of my games once to keep on their console or if in doing that the copy will be registered and not useable again on other Xbox One consoles (Should I get one in time)

Also another Q. I see that there are games with Xbox One Enhancements, do these games get the same enhancements on the Xbox One S or is it just the X console? For instance I'm interested in getting the console for games like the Final Fantasy XIII series as I see it's had substantial upgrades via the Xbox One Enhancements, just want to know if these upgrades take effect on the Xbox One S too?

Howdy, howdy, howdy!

I often help out my friend to edit his Youtube videos and this week decided to give it a go myself! I'm not one to speaking in a presenting manner but i think it turned out alrights :)

Post on a VG Collecting site, I will warn you these are not the biggest rarities you can think of - I imagine many of you will have these titles :P If I get more time I might do similar videos on PS2 & PS3 games.

Feel free to check it out if you have 5 minutes:
