A PS4 draws about 125 watts from the wall and runs between 50-60C under load, well within safe operating temperatures on any electrical component for many years. Despite the fan noise it's not going to overheat just sitting at a menu unless there's something else going on, either too much dust or blocked ventilation. A PS5 on the other hand...

fan bearings are wear items

If only there were some way to temporarily pause your PS4, no matter what screen you were on, so that the components would not wear over time. Put it at "rest," you might say.

I stopped using rest mode once I started working from home because I couldn’t stand having any more electronics on in my room. I also couldn’t hack the light coming from the machine or the LED on my tv. Everything goes off at night time now.

Eh, I like the Japanese VAs fine but to me it’s the writing that makes it great, not the voice work. I’m guessing the translation is good because people here are so happy with it.

I’m talking about unnecessary fan wear while playing the game.

There's an easy fix for this, it's called "no more games are coming out on PS4." :smugdog:

Actually how many more PS4 games are coming out? I figured it was going to be a lot more than during the transition from the PS3 to the PS4, since the PS5 can play them.

Especially for multiplatform indie games and stuff, it would be nuts not to write it for the PS4.

Horizon Forbidden West is supposed to have PS4 support, I think that's the last big exclusive that's said anything about being multiplatform.

The dub in this game sounds awful but I’ll stick with it for now

Currently walking through desks like a gotdamn ghost boy

Should I be taking notes on the characters and such? Feels like there’s a lot to keep track of.

The codex thing will keep getting filled in as you do story stuff and also buy entries with points gained from combat. Eventually it will have every aspect of the game world explained.

Its pretty drat that in Japanese too... but I guess that always sounds less natural in English because it’s so much more common in Japanese.

The dub is not great but it's okay

Honestly I've been playing with the sound off and just reading. There's no way to disable text and I hate trying to listen to audio while the script is right on screen.

Just started playing The Surge 2 and it is a definite improvement over the first. I'd recommend it for a souls-like that does some interesting things.

If you remember and enjoyed Cyborg Justice on the Sega Genesis you may like this game.

I honestly have zero desire to get a PS5, and it's kind of liberating. Been diving into my backlog and checking out some games I've been wanting to play for awhile now. I don't think they've announced any games that will push me to be excited for PS5 either. Maybe once they announce Persona 6 in 2025.

I made it to the part in 13 Sentinels where I have separate sections for the visual novel stuff and the battles. What kind of order am I meant to progress in from here? Do I do all of one part until I run out of stuff, and then go to the other section?

You can do that, but the game has checkpoints that can only be cleared once you either clear enough story on one side or finish specific battles on the other. I liked to play all the story until I couldn't progress anymore then knock out all the battles in a straight shot until I got roadblocked.

Yeah this is what I think I’ll do. I’m curious if all the battles occur chronologically after all the story stuff, but I guess I’ll discover that as I continue.

I’ve done 7 of the prologues so far and I’m definitely very interested in what’s going on. While it’s definitely stretching at my tolerance for anime bullshit at times (many of the faces are so ugly! and Ogata is actively poorly-drawn imo, his main pose and everything) it’s also funny and weird and intriguing in all the right places and there’s so many different mysteries that it’s easy to get past individual elements I’m not as hot on

I'm a cheapskate and don't really feel the need to play the latest and greatest... I'll probably wait until the PS6 is on the horizon before I even think about buying one.

The next installments of FF7 remaster are going to be PS5 exclusives though, aren't they? :smith:

Probably? I'm more interested about when we will see news about the next part because it feels like it could be a long time until it launches and depending on how many parts there are in total I just hope that the project overall doesn't go off the rails or suffer any problems. I'm hoping that Square has a really large team dedicated to it after the success of the launch but they've announced FF16 which could end up running into trouble and pulling manpower away. It would be tragic if after all the development problems throughout the last generation we see such an important project suffer similar troubles from lessons that were not learned.

Ideally the first E3 of the new generation later this year will have some news of the second game, even if it's just a teaser or some small flashes of gameplay snippets, just something to kick things off with a bang and let everyone know they're busy with it. Covid won't be helping, though.
