Awesome little game. That Dark Cloud mention threw me for a loop. My older brother handed me down the PS2 with that game when I was a kid. Loved it but could not beat it for the longest time until I realised I had to do something called "grinding." What a trip.
You talked about your old achievement guides and the fun banter. My favorite guide Ray banter was when you would slightly mess up the guide (run into a wall, make a wrong turn but quickly correct, miss a jump the first time, etc.) and instead of saying you messed up you would say, with full confidence "Ok make sure you do that or the achievement won't work." Made me smile every time.
Ray, I've recently left my painfully toxic career to pursue my own goals, and you have been a big inspiration for me in all the doubt and uncertainty. Thanks for all your awesome content!
I used to work at a second hand store and to test a PS5 was the easiest thing to do thanks to Astros playroom. You’d put a disc in to make sure it would read and install updates and whilst that was happening just blitz the first bit of astros playroom as it used all mechanics of the controller. Only issue was the game is fun and you didn’t wanna stop
This game was a great introduction to the PS5 when I first picked it up, so glad Ray got to play this game! Looking forward to Astro Bot later this year!
I'm legit here for Ray's PS arc we respect a multi platform king with the Nathan Drake Collection+the Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy PS5 port combo replaying all of that series is a great time and pretty convenient
This gives me hope for him trying out Bloodborne, although I don't see him trying to platinum it since a couple of the secret trophies are awfully tedious. I'd settle for Uncharted, though. Such fun games!
I had fooled around on a few old PC games on an equally old computer before. I tooled around in 1 or 2 PS2 games for a couple hours. But the PS3 was my first real introduction to gaming. My first console. Hearing that orchestral warmup, no exaggeration, makes my head fuzzy with the nostalgia and great memories. Most of my favorite titles I first met on PS3. When I finally got my PS5 and made it to the end of Cooling Springs, hearing that startup and seeing the wave in the background really caught me off guard. I just looked around for about 2 minutes. I would have to be in truly tough times for me to sell my PS3. I've actually been thinking of getting a display case for it lately.
man i would LOVE to see a dark cloud 1 plat run. that was also one of the first ps2 games i ever played and i have so much nostalgia-induced fondness for it.
13:12 LOCOROCO! 2:39:24 - "There was a mouse!?" Yay~ I get to use my comment from MGS again for those that are curious. Titles like Myst, Quake, Final DOOM and Clock Tower for instance used the PlayStation mouse.
49:30 They're playing on the PSP around the fire, which was my first time playing Monster Hunter. A lot of the older games were on the PSP and could be played Co-op. I remember failing an exam because I stayed up all night hunting with my friends rather then preparing for it. Good times.
It is June 4th/5th, 2024. The Achievement Hunter-est ex-Achievement Hunter has 100%-ed the PlayStation 5 pack-in game within a week of its sequel's announcement. Xbox is doing something this weekend. Something.
Ray, I would love nothing more than to sit down and devour over a week of my life, possibly a month of it, watching you play through both Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2. Dark Cloud in particular was a game that my brother, sister, and I bonded over, a wonderful adventure that I adored. I still have our original gaming guide for the game as well as our original copy of the game.
Absolutely amazing video! Glad you liked the game, plus the idea of diving into to some PS games and classics is def something I hope comes to fruition! Love to the fam Ray, you’re a real one!
Yesterday I had a song stuck in my head and it took me ages to realise it came from this game and now I see this uploaded. XD This game is super cute and adorable.
One of my favourite things about Rays content is when you get an unexpected subscribe/merch plug; like when he used the PS1 to tell us to sub and buy something from framerate merch. Its so dumb and funny I always find myself cackling to this dumb bit everythime.
2:41:40 God, I think the PSP Go is the most nostalgic playstation thing for me. I loved having it be all digital, because I didn't want to carry around UMDs for everything. I also used it as my music player a lot. Even once it started malfunctioning, I still only retired it after it fell to the floor one time too many, and stopped working completely.
Now I'd like to see an Xbox and Nintendo game like this. Where you explore around worlds/levels collecting past consoles and accessories that they have released.
It's actually unbelievable Nintendo has never made something like this. They have so much to draw from. To a degree Smash Bros fills this role, but that's lacking the casual exploration vibes of a game like this. Next closest thing I can think of was NintendoLand, but, well, again, a mini game collection on a failed console isn't really scratching this kind of itch either.
absolutely based that Dark Cloud was your first PS2 game, its also not terribly hard to 100% just finicky in some degree. also you can break it quite easily.
51:15 I love 3D Dot Game Heroes!!! It was one of my favorite games on PS3. Had beautiful, simple graphics and fun gameplay. Banger soundtrack. I wish they would re-release it one day.
This was such a cute game. Since Ray asked for Platinum suggestions, I'm pretty sure you could play it since there's a PS4 version but Journey is one of my favorite games ever. It definitely helped me just chill out when things got to be too much. I don't think the Platinum is too crazy, mostly just beat the game and find the secrets on each levels.
I think what upsets me the most about this game is it makes me realize how little playstation exclusives actually use the ps5 controller tech. Like sure adaptive feed back but I forgot the thing has a built in mic till I saw the game say blow into it lol.
Man the ps2 online adaptor i remeber not knowing what that giant hole in the back if the ps2 was but i used to hide my weed in it from my parents because if they tore my room apart they would never touch my ps2 😂😂😂
Great VOD; so glad you enjoyed this game and are looking forward to the new one! Dunno if you're still checking comments, but since you're looking for more PS5 exclusives to platinum, I'd highly recommend Stellar Blade! It's so much fun: great fast-paced combat, nice outfits, cool characters, crazy enemy designs! Thankfully the platinum trophy isn't egregious either!
Throughout Ray's playthrough and my own, i don't think i encountered a Spyro reference or Kingdom Hearts reference. Hopefully, i just missed Spyro because I'm certain they'd have one there. As for Kingdom Hearts, it'd be a little awkward due to Disney. Hopefully, in the new game, they have more references to PS franchises cause they have so many they can reference. And I'd love for Nintendo to do something similar due to their long history.
some easier platinums that are fun to go for are the newer Spiderman games, the 2 most recent Ratchet and Clank games, Order 1886, Spyro Remastered, Stray, Until Dawn.... some longer ones are the Uncharted series, Horizon Zero games, Shadow of the Colossus, Days Gone, Demon Souls, Bloodborne, new God of Wars.. as far as the exclusives go anyway
Just got a PS5, and this is a great game to me it is up there with other great pack in games like Wii sports, Super Mario World on SNES or Super Mario brithers/Duck Hunt on Nes, It was the first game I got a platinum trophy for on my PS5. As Ray says its just a fun game a good platformer, it is full of fan service that was done right the feels are real thanks to that hearing a PS2 and PS1 start up took me back to my teen years getting a PS1 on Christmas in 97 and PS2 in 2001. The music is top tier all around, I am glad that this gets a full game, And the OJ PS3 could play PS1-PS3 games and onlt that could play all three I think.
If you’re thinking about playing more PS games and getting Platinums, my personal favourites are the Spider-Man games, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, and Ghost of Tsushima
Hey Ray, some of my favorite PlayStation platinums over the years have been Infamous Uncharted Last of us Returnal Spider-Man God of war Twisted metal 1 and 2 Sly cooper Ghost of Tsushima
Since you asked for Sony exclusive Platinum Trophy Recommendations: The Spider-Man games as well as Ghost of Tsushima are all fairly easy, if slightly time consuming Plats, and most can be stacked with both PS4/5 versions. Until Dawn is quick and easy with a guide (just don't drop the controller) and is also getting remastered. As an aside: since I know you have no interest in playing Mass Effect I'm not going to recommend it to you, but I wanted to mention how much better Mass Effect Legendary Edition handled its Trophies than its Achievements. Xbox got 2915 Gamerscore, PS got 3 games-specific lists, each with their own Platinum Trophy, and a 4th smaller list with Trophies for trilogy-wide things.
It's such a great game/tec demo. If it was one thing I wanted to see at the state of play it was either what Bluepoint or Team Asobi was up to. And im very excited for the full game. Also since you suggested, PLEASE I highly recommend playing Bloodborne. Idk if you care about fromsoft games at all, but it's the one Sony game I would suggest. It's so good
For PS5 games to platinum I'd definitely say Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart! Nice fun platformer. Also I'd really recommend playing Returnal! It's a terrible plat due to rng but it's worth playing through!

Since Ray has to cosplay as Chibi from a sub goal, he should play Gartan of Ban Ban at that time.
Awesome little game. That Dark Cloud mention threw me for a loop. My older brother handed me down the PS2 with that game when I was a kid. Loved it but could not beat it for the longest time until I realised I had to do something called "grinding." What a trip.

Ray, I've recently left my painfully toxic career to pursue my own goals, and you have been a big inspiration for me in all the doubt and uncertainty. Thanks for all your awesome content!
I hope you find happiness! I believe in you!
You've got this!
Hang in there
You got this
I used to work at a second hand store and to test a PS5 was the easiest thing to do thanks to Astros playroom. You’d put a disc in to make sure it would read and install updates and whilst that was happening just blitz the first bit of astros playroom as it used all mechanics of the controller. Only issue was the game is fun and you didn’t wanna stop
For a free game that's pretty much advertising, it was fun as hell.
Sony, please listen to dad here and make more Sly Cooper games 40:01
This game was a great introduction to the PS5 when I first picked it up, so glad Ray got to play this game! Looking forward to Astro Bot later this year!
I'm legit here for Ray's PS arc we respect a multi platform king
with the Nathan Drake Collection+the Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy PS5 port combo replaying all of that series is a great time and pretty convenient

This is has and will be my favorite PS5 game to date, i’m so happy that i get to watch you play this memory box of a game
When I first played this I wasn’t expecting to get into my feels. Hearing the PS2 and PS1 bootups gave me nostalgia whiplash.
man i would LOVE to see a dark cloud 1 plat run. that was also one of the first ps2 games i ever played and i have so much nostalgia-induced fondness for it.
13:12 LOCOROCO!
2:39:24 - "There was a mouse!?"
Yay~ I get to use my comment from MGS again for those that are curious.
Titles like Myst, Quake, Final DOOM and Clock Tower for instance used the PlayStation mouse.
Would love to see a playthrough of any of the inFamous games. It’s one of my favorite PS franchises and the gameplay really holds up imo.
49:30 They're playing on the PSP around the fire, which was my first time playing Monster Hunter. A lot of the older games were on the PSP and could be played Co-op. I remember failing an exam because I stayed up all night hunting with my friends rather then preparing for it. Good times.
yo I love this game. For being a tech demo for the DualSense it's so much fun (great Playstation nostalgia trip for those of us who are Sony Boys)
This game was adorable. I would love to see more of this kind of game. The fan service was making my cheeks hurt from smiling so hard.
Remember when Burnie interviewed Ray while they played Journey? We're so old
Oh that thumbnail is so cute, and I get to see what i missed when OBS died 😂
1:48:14 Crazy to see that memory cards used to be in Megabytes and now we got Terabyte(s) cards and shit and games take up like 100 Gigabytes now.
Super cute game. Was really fun to watch Ray react to all the past memories ❤
Has me excited for the new game later this year
It is June 4th/5th, 2024.
The Achievement Hunter-est ex-Achievement Hunter has 100%-ed the PlayStation 5 pack-in game within a week of its sequel's announcement.
Xbox is doing something this weekend. Something.
Glad to see some Playstation love, this game was so good.
By the way if you press Square on the trophies in the menu, it keeps them unhidden
Loved this playthrough, the PlayStation was what got me into video games and seeing all the classic characters and artifacts was super heartwarming ❤
Woo new stream! Thanks Ray!
Ray, I would love nothing more than to sit down and devour over a week of my life, possibly a month of it, watching you play through both Dark Cloud and Dark Cloud 2. Dark Cloud in particular was a game that my brother, sister, and I bonded over, a wonderful adventure that I adored. I still have our original gaming guide for the game as well as our original copy of the game.
This was an Awesome Playthrough I CANT WAIT for the New One!!
Absolutely amazing video! Glad you liked the game, plus the idea of diving into to some PS games and classics is def something I hope comes to fruition!
Love to the fam Ray, you’re a real one!
There is nothing better than watching my favorite steamer enjoy one of my favorite games!
Where were you, when Ray's internet went out for a minute?
Was watching the vod and was so confused last night and was like “well now i gotta see the yt video”
Yesterday I had a song stuck in my head and it took me ages to realise it came from this game and now I see this uploaded. XD This game is super cute and adorable.
One of my favourite things about Rays content is when you get an unexpected subscribe/merch plug; like when he used the PS1 to tell us to sub and buy something from framerate merch. Its so dumb and funny I always find myself cackling to this dumb bit everythime.
This video made me go get our old ps2 slim out of storage at my parents house and bring it to my apartment 😂
Great gameplay! What a nostalgia trip! Dark Cloud 1 is an amazing game. I'd definitely watch that again.
DUDE, this game just got a patch with five new trophies! It's like 20-30 minutes of content, but still! Ray had the magic touch or something!
2:41:40 God, I think the PSP Go is the most nostalgic playstation thing for me. I loved having it be all digital, because I didn't want to carry around UMDs for everything. I also used it as my music player a lot. Even once it started malfunctioning, I still only retired it after it fell to the floor one time too many, and stopped working completely.
Love that ray is playing this!! PlayStation is the best!! Neopets the darkest Faerie is one of my favorite Ps2 exclusives
Now I'd like to see an Xbox and Nintendo game like this. Where you explore around worlds/levels collecting past consoles and accessories that they have released.

Your thumbnail artist always nails it!
31:25 I have some Beta Max video cassettes. How are they doing these days?
absolutely based that Dark Cloud was your first PS2 game, its also not terribly hard to 100% just finicky in some degree. also you can break it quite easily.
The Insomniac Spider-Man games are good for plats
Also maybe the Little Big Planet games
man this game is making me all kinds off nostalgic with all the old pieces of consoles
1:43:24 what the dog doin?
The original Playstation was my first console and I grew up on Air Combat. Seeing the Ace Combat reference was really cool.
51:15 I love 3D Dot Game Heroes!!! It was one of my favorite games on PS3. Had beautiful, simple graphics and fun gameplay. Banger soundtrack. I wish they would re-release it one day.
Microphone ? * sound of ray getting murder * lmao
This was such a cute game. Since Ray asked for Platinum suggestions, I'm pretty sure you could play it since there's a PS4 version but Journey is one of my favorite games ever. It definitely helped me just chill out when things got to be too much. I don't think the Platinum is too crazy, mostly just beat the game and find the secrets on each levels.
This game is so cute. A fun nostalgia trip even though I only really played PS1 and PS2 before switching to Xbox as my main consoles.
I think what upsets me the most about this game is it makes me realize how little playstation exclusives actually use the ps5 controller tech. Like sure adaptive feed back but I forgot the thing has a built in mic till I saw the game say blow into it lol.
Trophy Tuesday sounds fun!!!
Nostalgia moment 2:34:27
52:35 Trigger Warning.
As a long time fan and even longer PS owner, this made me so excited that you might branch out to PS5 more often
Roy from Trophy Finders has taken over for a stream?
Man the ps2 online adaptor i remeber not knowing what that giant hole in the back if the ps2 was but i used to hide my weed in it from my parents because if they tore my room apart they would never touch my ps2 😂😂😂
I've only played 3 games that have been ps5 exclusive and I put Astro's playroom up there with both Spiderman 3 and Ratchet and Clank.
Great VOD; so glad you enjoyed this game and are looking forward to the new one! Dunno if you're still checking comments, but since you're looking for more PS5 exclusives to platinum, I'd highly recommend Stellar Blade! It's so much fun: great fast-paced combat, nice outfits, cool characters, crazy enemy designs! Thankfully the platinum trophy isn't egregious either!
When I rewatched the new Astro trailer yesterday I thought “I really wish ray would dust off the ps5 and try Playroom”…..hell yeah
Ray, the spiderman games are a blast and super easy platinums!
For platinum trophies, Spider-Man 2 has a very easy platinum
Love the video😂
Would love to see a one stream of you trying infamous 1 or 2
Throughout Ray's playthrough and my own, i don't think i encountered a Spyro reference or Kingdom Hearts reference. Hopefully, i just missed Spyro because I'm certain they'd have one there. As for Kingdom Hearts, it'd be a little awkward due to Disney. Hopefully, in the new game, they have more references to PS franchises cause they have so many they can reference. And I'd love for Nintendo to do something similar due to their long history.
This technical demo had absolutely no right being this good.
They should’ve made an area for the cpu where you can fix the cooling gel that doesn’t work right if you have it stood up
the subtle TFS reference at the end ❤
I loved this game. Was such a neat little surprise with the PS5 :)
Can’t believe Garten of BanBan wasn’t announced during the State of Play, Sony missed out on one of the best shadow drops for the PS5
Ah yes, my first (and only) platinum. Super hype for Astro Bot in a few months!
Where's the guncons? For games like point blank and time crisis
some easier platinums that are fun to go for are the newer Spiderman games, the 2 most recent Ratchet and Clank games, Order 1886, Spyro Remastered, Stray, Until Dawn.... some longer ones are the Uncharted series, Horizon Zero games, Shadow of the Colossus, Days Gone, Demon Souls, Bloodborne, new God of Wars.. as far as the exclusives go anyway
honestly would love to see Ray tackle the 2 newest Ratchet & Clank games, super fun platformers and don't think the plats are tooo demanding
Is Legend of Dragoon ported to ps5? if so play that.
Adventures of sackboy is a fun game and it is coop as well so you can play it with Tina or piss crew as it is up to 4 players.
Just got a PS5, and this is a great game to me it is up there with other great pack in games like Wii sports, Super Mario World on SNES or Super Mario brithers/Duck Hunt on Nes, It was the first game I got a platinum trophy for on my PS5.
As Ray says its just a fun game a good platformer, it is full of fan service that was done right the feels are real thanks to that hearing a PS2 and PS1 start up took me back to my teen years getting a PS1 on Christmas in 97 and PS2 in 2001. The music is top tier all around, I am glad that this gets a full game,
And the OJ PS3 could play PS1-PS3 games and onlt that could play all three I think.
This is still one of my favorite games on my PS5.
Oh wow pain?! I was just thinking about that the other day, wild it got a reference 😂
Ray probably knows but Amazon announced "Like A Dragon: Yakuza" live action short series. Am I the only one hyped about this?
If you’re thinking about playing more PS games and getting Platinums, my personal favourites are the Spider-Man games, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, and Ghost of Tsushima
This is the only Platinum I have. It’s an incredible game, and I can’t wait for the new one.
It may be just me but it's been a good minute since I've seen the early uncharted games. Would love to see a platinum in those.
Ghost of tsushima, or any of the Spiderman games were fun plats.
Resistance playthrough please
Ray should definitely play Bloodborne.
Also the insomniac Spider-Man games are relatively easy platinums to get.
Still have my HD-DVD player only because gamestop wouldn't take it in as a trade in lol
Hey Ray, some of my favorite PlayStation platinums over the years have been
Infamous
Uncharted
Last of us
Returnal
Spider-Man
God of war
Twisted metal 1 and 2
Sly cooper
Ghost of Tsushima
Miss Charlie!!
Since you asked for Sony exclusive Platinum Trophy Recommendations: The Spider-Man games as well as Ghost of Tsushima are all fairly easy, if slightly time consuming Plats, and most can be stacked with both PS4/5 versions.

Xbox got 2915 Gamerscore, PS got 3 games-specific lists, each with their own Platinum Trophy, and a 4th smaller list with Trophies for trilogy-wide things.
2:32:39 - "Hey, man. I need this. Thanks. [Rolls off, BAI]" 😅
It's such a great game/tec demo. If it was one thing I wanted to see at the state of play it was either what Bluepoint or Team Asobi was up to. And im very excited for the full game. Also since you suggested, PLEASE I highly recommend playing Bloodborne. Idk if you care about fromsoft games at all, but it's the one Sony game I would suggest. It's so good
If you're gonna do the Dark Cloud platinum, it's pretty easy. iirc, there is just one missable trophy and it's not even hard. Fantastic game.
Would love to see a super Mario World playtrough it was one of my earliest gaming memories and i like you never finished it 😃
Idk if you've talked about playing God of War: Ragnarok but I feel like you would have a blast with that game. Easily one of my top games of all time.
I would love to see you go for the Ratchet and Clank rift apart platinum! Its a pretty easy one to get and such an incredibly fun game😊
It’s so funny how Ray barely touches the PlayStation while it’s the exact opposite for me
big mood. I still haven't gone past the Xbox One and it collects dust except when I want to play a backwards compatible game lol
All the Ratchet & Clank games for Platinum trophies!
For PS5 games to platinum I'd definitely say Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart! Nice fun platformer. Also I'd really recommend playing Returnal! It's a terrible plat due to rng but it's worth playing through!
Watching just for the super secret intro section 😊
Bloodborne plat? 🧐
