Topic: Your Latest PlayStation 5 Purchase

Divinity Original Sin 2.. only about £12 on PS Store. Upgraded for PS5. Seems a good time to try it out. In Larian we trust.

Picked up Dragon Quest III HD-2D remake

Terminator 2D No Fate Day one edition physical. Steelbook, cloth poster, game manual and arcade token.

Yakuza 20th anniversary edition physical. This was a hard one to get as it seemed to be sold out everywhere but managed to get it from Igabiba. Comes with the 3 games on 3 discs. I've never played a Yakuza game before so looking forward to this one whenever I get around to it.

Crow Country physical from FanGamer. Comes with a poster of the Crow Country theme park and game manual.

I have Oblivion Remastered physical on the way. I'm aware there is very little data on the disc but it's cheaper than buying the deluxe edition digitally.

@McSavage I was tempted by that Terminator 2D physical release, too! Haven't pulled the trigger on it yet but I know it's only a matter of time. Hope the game's as good as the edition looks!

@Werehog I didn't even know they released the Legacy of Thieves Collection on PS5 too. I thought this was something more exclusive to PC in bringing those previously console exclusives to the PC market. Re-releasing it as a collection for PS5 as well seems like an odd choice. Are there any improvements that come with the collection or is it really just straight up the games for the PS4 but in a PS5 box?

Had this on the wishlist for a while and finally pulled the trigger at a 40% reduction:

Beyond Good and Evil: 20th Anniversary Edition - always been curious about this game… and having recently enjoyed my time with fellow PS2 classics Bully and Psychonauts it felt as good a time as any.

@graymamba Nice! This was one of my favourite games at the time I played it. It was such a breath of fresh air. Very neat world, characters and story. The music is great too. I should really pick up the current version myself as I remember the frame rate tanking regularly on PS2.

@Metonymy 4k 60 on ps5, so now could be the time before the current sale ends mate 😉

Definitely. Thanks for the heads up!

Just picked up Indika at 50% off. Don’t really know much about it but it looks weird and reviewed pretty well, so that’s enough for me at that price.

@graymamba
Nice and yes it is weird but the story does make sense at the end, mostly.
A good game for these cold wintry days.

@CaptD ah I didn’t know you’d played it mate, good to know it was good though.

From what I gather, the games have had some improvements applied, like improved texture quality, rendering distance, and a couple other graphical options. Nothing as extensive as Horizon (so no new character models or animations or anything that noticeable) but I think they definitely play in native 4K if you opt for the right settings. And maybe some DualSense haptic trickery, too.

You're right, it does feel like one of the less-essential remasters, hence me waiting. I'll let you know if anything mind-blowing got added, but I'm not holding my breath. I just wanted neater shelves!
