Released early in the PS4’s lifecycle, Bloodborne remains one of the best games on the platform. Unfortunately, at launch, the game was hampered with extremely long load times. Thankfully, From Software continued to work on that post-launch. Today, Bloodborne’s load times are extremely fast on PS4, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be better, which is where PS5 comes in. Overall, we’re looking at modest improvements to an already fast-loading game.
Once again, Oracles will start to appear and will need to be defeated in order of appearance. The team outside the portal will see the order, once again flashed twice, of the Oracles, and will have to relay that information to the team inside the portal. The Oracles spawn inside the portal, and the inside portal team needs to defeat them in the same order that they appear. This may seem repetitive, but if it's not done correctly the team wi
We’ve taken some of PS4’s most popular, and longest-loading titles, and put them to the test on PS5’s SSD. Do note, to get the most out of PS4 titles on PS5, the games have to be installed on the PS5’s SSD. You can still play PS4 games off an external HDD, but you won’t get the load time benefits.
As the team clears the edge following the despawning platforms, continue to jump across the dark blocks instead of dropping down to the doorway. The final chest should be seen across the gap tucked away in the complex. If the team already dropped down following the edge, the chest can still be obtained by heading left past the doorway and climbing up the pillars in the dark. After grabbing the chest, head in the doorway towards the final ar
Convenience can be a good thing in many situations. It gives people more free time in their daily lives and, when it’s thoughtfully implemented, can make games feel good to play. Just like in real life though, too much convenience has its downsides. In some games it can rob players of chances to apply themselves and craft more interesting adventures. In others, too much convenience can quickly turn amazing moments into standard, perhaps even dull experiences. Too little convenience can make a game unenjoyable too though, so both gamers and developers alike should be careful of letting things go too far in either direction.
Shadowkeep is the fourth major expansion for Destiny 2 and is up there with the very best. It's a little rough around the edges, but that doesn't detract too much from the refinement of some of the game's mechanics, nor the massive improvements it makes to the endgame. More than anything, it eased concerns over what the post-Activision era of Destiny would look l
This build revolves primarily around abusing the Hunter’s dodge ability, particularly with Gambler’s Dodge selected to recharge Withering Blade when dodging near enemies. The two Distribution mods ensure ability cooldowns are reduced, including supers, when dodging near enemies. Moreover, the Absolution mods make grenades recharge all abilities, including sup
Any primary weapon will suffice for this build if it is "Masterworked" and can generate orbs with multiple kills. The primary mods that make this build work are Firepower, Innervation, Absolution, Taking Charge, Distribution, and Energy Converter. Grenades are the bread and butter of this heavy-hitter, with Guardians able to build super energy by throwing grenades due to the Energy Converter mod, which converts Charged With Light (CWL) stacks into super energy, up to
A great example of this can be seen in the differences between The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. On a technical level, Skyrim is clearly superior. It looks so much better than Morrowind that it’s almost silly to compare the two, and its combat doesn’t suffer from pure RNG like Morrowind’s does. Skyrim’s point-to-point fast travel opens up new options for combat and exploration; annoying mechanics like stat drain spells have been removed entirely and character building is practically automatic. All one has to do is play the game. These are all things that make Skyrim much more convenient than Morrowind, but they don’t necessarily make it better.
Our 2019 Game of the Year , Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil was an astounding addition to the PS4’s library. Despite being a linear game in a set map, Resident Evil 2 took a long time to load, especially when first booting up the game. While it didn’t reach the horrid minute mark, it always cut it too close. On PS5, the bootup time is cut in half, getting players in faster. There’s not a huge change when loading a save, but there’s at least a slight improvement.
