Question About Backup Save Usage

[ferginator88]

So I understand the concept of backing up a save to the cloud for later use, but I have a question regarding the execution of it. So I back up the save to the cloud, complete one of the games endings, and earn the relevant trophy. Afterwards, do I delete the save game on my console and redownload the uploaded one? I've never used a method like this before so I'd prefer to not bung it up!

 

Thanks!

You can directly reload your save from cloud without deleting the one on your PS4, it will override it (it will ask you if you want to override your save, just choose yes ^^)

That pretty much sums it up.

It allows you complete the Platinum in a single playthrough (while doing the ending three times)

I would recommend using a USB Stick over the cloud storage. Same process without the worry of an over-eager auto backup system over writing your cloud save. :]

That, or just switch off the auto-update for the game in question

 

However, I really, REALLY would recommend that you do at least 2 playthroughs.. Bloodborne is too awesome of a game to only play it once!

Thanks to everyone for the tips! I will need to do a partial NG+ playthrough as I have missed out on Eileen the Crow, but I've got so much on my gaming backlog I'm not sure I will have the time to do another full playthrough! #FirstWorldGamerProblems
