Topic: PlayStation 5 --OT--

@Lavalera yeah so although I haven’t played Origins I reckon that the general consensus has been kind to it over the years since it’s release. It’ll be interesting to look back in a decade or so and see if the same thing happens with GK.

Gotham Knights was very much a maybe for me, even if the reviews were really good. So that is that then. You can never say never, but I highly doubt I will get round to it.

@RogerRoger well I’m hoping that it ends up clicking for you. I have heard the characters and the story are pretty decent, so you should get your rocks off in that aspect at the very least.

Well the Resi 4 trailer makes it look bloody brilliant! Faithful to the original while having modern controls, pristine graphics and new gameplay mechanics. Exactly what I’d want from it.

Really hoping the remake pulls back on the B-movie elements from the original. One of my favorite aspects of RE1R on GameCube was how it actually felt like a proper horror game. It'd be great to see them do something similar here.

@nessisonett I just caught the trailer, and admittedly it does look to be very good. I loved RE2 remake, and this looks to be a similar 'love letter' to its original material.

@Ralizah Ha whilst I am massively in agreement with you, and think a 'proper horror game' would be great, I fear that Capcom are going to crank up the camp-o-meter to 11 on this one! I couldn't help but smile when I heard Leon tell the villagers "You can bill me for the repairs later" as he's casually fighting for his life and blowing up their livestock lol! Even in the face of life-threatening danger he's armed to the teeth with sassy one-liners.... (I hate and love this in equal measure ha)

„Sony paid Activision to make crossplay always-on on PC and Xbox” is my new favorite console war Twitter take 😂
How do people even come up with these?

I'm hearing good things from people that have played Resident Evil 4 Remake. Especially the 3D audio which makes the opening a lot more creepier.

Figured here was the easiest place to post this rather than starting a whole new thread. Shipping from PlayStation Direct is changing a bit as of December 1. It's still going to be ok, but any kind of downgrade to one of Sony's better things outside of their first party games of course (as long as you don't order collector's editions like The Last of Us Part 1 and get a damaged copy because they are lazy) is obviously never ideal. Got this email from them earlier tonight...

So word is going around that a PS5 "Slim" is releasing september 2023.

I hope there will be no stand and that the console looks a bit more traditional. The current ps5 design is an overdesigned distraction.

Really hoping to see some decent Black Friday sales on SSD's this year. My PS5 is pretty jam-packed.

Crusader Kings III has finally been updated on PS5. Thank the Lord. Now the first DLC is available so hoping that Royal Court comes soon.

I'm now going through Ragnarok's post game. It is easy to see why people came away calling this game a 10/10 flawless masterpiece based on how the final stretch makes you feel. I'm amazed they topped the final stretch of 2018, which to me was the best part of that game, but somehow, they did. To me, it is not a 10/10 flawless masterpiece, but it is definitely my game of the year and probably up there with one of my favourite games, too.

Without any spoilers, there are some late game twists and developments which really throw things on their head and make me want to play the game all over again to see how early the seeds are planted and to see the new lights some scenes will take based on the knowledge I now have.

First though, I need to clear the post-game. Then I'll need to take time away first for fear of fatigue, but when there is the inevitable quiet stretch early next year, I will probably spin it up again.

I also personally think a lot of the side content is really tedious to actually play (one of my primary criticisms with the title that holds it back from a 10/10 for me), but man do the stories the side quests tell enrich the main path, I do highly recommend playing any side task the game calls you to do, you may not enjoy it at the time, but it'll pay off big time in the end.

Hi everyone.
I am kind of curious, did anyone of you broke the piggybank and went ham with the so-called "Black Friday discounts"? Or is was just me? Is it taboo to speak about this? Just for context I bought a few games to add to my backlog but I am not playing any of them this year.

@RogerRoger Not taboo, cool. I got another year of PS Plus (essential, because I would rather buy the games and play them whenever now or replay them ten years from now in offline mode), along with Outer Wilds and SubNautica. There were other candidates, so my Wishlist got a lot of new entries for next sale though.

Did you consider PS Plus Extra or Essential was already decided beforehand?

@avatarian I got Psychonauts 2, Snow Runner, Hot wheels Unleashed and A.I. The Somnium Files all for under £50 so they'll keep me busy if they manage to jump the queue In the backlog!
