When Microsoft started slipping the made-up phrase “Smart Delivery” into all of its Xbox Series X/S marketing last year, it seemed like just another pair of empty buzzwords. Surely all games would just simply work after you installed them on your expensive new hardware, whether they supported Microsoft’s catchphrase or not. Not quite!
The loot RPG’s next-gen version went live yesterday and turned out to be a massive headache for those looking to upgrade from PS4 to PS5. First, they had to make sure both versions of the game were downloaded and updated on the console. Then they had to migrate their save data over. Hours and dozens of GB of data later, they could delete the PS4 version and finally get to playing.
Surprised Elvis has not shared this. He’s a big Kotaku reader.

You are getting excited about smart delivery for cross gen games while we are getting excited about the gameplay shown of the new Square PlayStation exclusive and the new PSVR2 controllers... It's sad to see once you think about it.

Hopefully Xbox sort their shit out asap so you guys have something more substantial to celebrate.

Perspective.

You mean the square console exclusive? Yes because one RPG not being on Xbox is going to make a big difference. Obsidian are making an RPG. Playground games are making Fable. Inexile will probably make another RPG. Then you have Bethesda, who will make RPG games. How many of them do you think will release on PS? Don’t worry, not long for Starfield to be shown off.

Have you played it? Oh, wait. Took you about a year to play the last big square Enix exclusive and that’s only because it was on PS plus. That’s like @Alock1 waiting to play Halo, when it’s on games with gold.

What games have you been playing on your PS5? I am presuming ‘’old games’‘ so yes stuff like smart delivery is important right now.

Have you played any of the PS5 exclusives? Sackboy, demons or even spiderman? You are very good at listing them, but when it comes to playing them you disappear.

I also apologise. Inexile are definitely working on another RPG.

I bought PS5 few weeks ago and it feels like i won lottery. Especially because of PS5 collection, so many great games for free (or tbf for only a cost of PS plus). The only game I actually bought was FIFA but i rarely even play it because there are other great games. Lately i was playing God of War and its great, crazy that they give out such a great games for free.
The problems with PS5 I caught is sticky "o" button on one of the 2 controllers (but WD40 electronics did the trick) and controller not responding after rest mode and i had to turn PS5 off and on to get controllers working (i think it was connected to Rachet and Clank game cuz it was happening to me only when PS5 went into rest mode by himself while playing Rachet and Clank game, didn't happened again since).
I don't know much about XBOX because I literally don't know single person who is into XBOX so if i want to play online with friends PS5 was only option.
But reading how XBOX is the better of the 2 from fanboys i guess that XBOX doesn't have anything similar to PS Collection and people which have XBOX have no friends to play with online because it seems they have a lot of time (which could be spend playing games) to argue on the internet.

How many games are you playing at the same time? FF7, MM and Sackboy. That’s very impressive. I am on sackboy right now, what stage are you on?
Add Control to that list and several VR games. Sackboy I'm on the 2nd world and enjoying it!

To be fair, the bit about his broken controller was funny. The rest of it was a trainwreck. Also, they didn't give out God of War for free. You have to pay for it by subscribing. Just like gamepass games aren’t free.

I don’t think I played one game or will on the ps plus collection because I played them or own them all.

Ive kept rest mode off, early releases of the consoles had issues with it being enabled.

I leave it in rest mode every day and it’s absolutely fine. People used to say the same about the 4.
Same, the only thing I occasionally have is it not waking up from the controller and when I then use the power button on the PS5 it loads up with the “HDD not ejected properly” message before it repairs. It takes all of 10 seconds longer and I’ve not had any issues with it failing to load games or losing data.

Turn your PlayStation off properly.

Yes thanks for that very useful
It is the right advice. If you are getting that error then it means you are not turning the device off properly. I have external HDD added on and never get that.

Pexbo there are two ways to turn off your PS5

1. PS Button > Power > Enter Rest Mode
2. PS Button > Power > Turn off PS5


If you follow those instructions you shouldn’t have any issues

If you read my whole post you’ll see it occurs occasionally when I’ve put the console into rest mode. It becomes unresponsive from the controller so I have to press the power button to turn it back on. I could shut it down every time and avoid that, but then I prefer rest mode.

I don’t want to read your whole post, and I didn’t ask for your life story. Turn it off properly and give it a rest. Sick of hearing you moan about minor issues when people out there can’t even get one. Do you not see how selfish you sound? Very disappointed.

Probably a good idea. PS3's store/general online components haven't worked properly in about 5 years...

I beat Ico in under 2 hours for the cheevo and it refused to connect my account to upload it :mad:
Yeah, but how can you trust Sony digitally when they close the store? Steam or Xbox doesn't do that, I thought Sony were going all digital future. Xbox still sells original Xbox games on their stores. It's disgusting and not surprising behaviour from Jimmy. @esmufc07 what are your thoughts?

You still have access to your digital stuff, just can’t buy new stuff. Which is fine because it’s a disc based console. Don’t see how they would be able to do that in the future with the digital only console.

Sorry, I meant, what are your thoughts on @Pexbo not knowing how to shut down his console?

Well u just proved my point tha PS collection is crazy deal with that last part that u own all of the collection games. How much money did u spend for them? It's incredible they decided to do that.

Somehow I never bought PS4 and never played any of that games so I just got stupid amount of entertainment time for only 60 euros.

But as I said I didn't even read anything about XBOX and don't know a single person owning one so i don't know if XBOX has similar thing to offer.
