Journey is such a good game, I must play it again

So from the email I got today, the PS Store is stopping its selling of all PS3 and Vita games soon. It also mentions removing wishlists, but I'm not sure if that means only PS3/vita wishlist items or the whole wishlist system.

I like the wishlist thing, it reminds me of games I added in over a year ago which are STILL at £54.99!

To be honest i'm kind of glad they are removing PS3 and Vita from the web store.
My download list is into many 100's of pages of purchases over the years.
It'll be nice just to have the recent PS4/PS5 stuff going forward.

I think they’ll still be in your list, it’s just you can’t buy any new ones. I hope so anyway otherwise it’s another reason to buy discs not digital.

I think I read they are adding much better filter options. The new site goes live next week I think.

I'd like to get my hands on a DualSense controller without having to buy the console. The haptic feedback sounds amazing.

It's amused me that today is the day that you can show the world what happens when you take a PS5 out of the box...and that's it! Staggering the tease.

They can show gameplay from Astrobot too but yeah, it's been very much a drip feed from both new consoles.

Mainly because there's **** all exciting available for either of them.

I've noticed the Xbox camp mainly boasting how the series X improves old games with enhanced visuals and higher frame rates etc.

Because it does, most of the time, The original Arkham game still runs at it’s locked 45fps... but maybe they can unlock it.

The new controller does sound really cool & the first thing about the PS5 that’s got me mildly excited...

BugSnax will be the first PS5 PS+ game!

Meanwhile the PS4 gets Middle-earth: Shadow of War and Hollow Knight: Voidheart Edition, next month

The dual sense controller sounds really great, lots of people with hands on have praised it. To improve controllers you need to make non b/c (idiots where screaming how it does not work on ps4)

GB can only show a bit from astro playroom but mention the controller

Digital foundry just posted a long video on Playroom and the Dualsense

But all of the haptic and force feedback stuff can be switched off at the system level, so why couldn't they have made it backwards compatible in both directions?

So you can't backup PS5 games onto an external HDD. If you run out of disc space you have to delete games?!?

That won't be fun for digital games.

You can backup PS4 games, oddly.

[T4V]

Yeah let’s hope this is a short term error that will quickly be rectified

A more balanced review of the PS5 user interface, compared to fanboy John Linneman's gushing on Digital Foundry.

Giant Bomb themselves are traditionally much bigger fans of the PS5 UI than the Xbox one, so their misgivings are probably believable.
