It’s our first post-PlayStation 5 WAYP, but spare a thought for our European readers, who still have an additional week to wait. While many of you dig into Demon’s Souls and Astro’s Playroom, there are dozens of others who will be giving their PlayStation 4 one last workout this weekend. The true, big celebration will be next week’s WAYP, then – but there’s not long to go for everyone now.

My workload hasn’t really decreased with the US launch of the PS5, so I’ve still got a billion and one things left to do. Among them is penning my reviews of Sackboy: A Big Adventure and Planet Coaster: Console Edition. Coming soon.
Liam Croft, Senior Staff Writer
It’s surreal to think this is the very last entry of WAYP before my PS5 arrives. I’ll be spending the weekend online with my buddies playing Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. That includes everything from multiplayer to Zombies, as well as the campaign on my lonesome.

I'll be playing a certain little console that I've been excited about getting my hands on for months. I have a few games I want to play on it already, and I'm ecstatic that this new frontier of gaming is here. That's right, I finally got a PS Vita. Oh, and I'm working on a number of PS5 reviews, and just revelling in the joy of actually being able to hear the game audio instead of only hearing the fan getting ready to take off on me!
Simon Fitzgerald, Reviewer
Shooty, shooty, bang, bang! It’s that time of year again to get on that Call of Duty grind. I’ll be jumping into Black Ops Cold War this weekend, I plan to complete the game, prestige in the multiplayer and maybe try out some of the Zombies mode as well.
That's us, then, but what about you? What are you playing this weekend? As always, you know the drill, so let us know in the comments section below.

I gather some folks have been disappointed by PS5 delays and stock shortages this week, and that us Brits (and others) are being forced to wait even longer... but gaming is forever gaming, and fun doesn't suddenly stop being fun because there's something slightly faster and sharper out there.
Whatever console you're booting up this weekend, and whichever game you end up playing on it, I hope that you're able to enjoy the experience for what it is.
That's what I'll be doing with the original Resident Evil 2 as a PSone Classic on my PS3 later this afternoon.
No PS5 for me but did buy Black Ops Cold War (which is great so far )and Miles Morales for PS4 so will be blitzing them all weekend along with a bit of World Of Warcraft on laptop to get ready for Shadowlands ...
Oh and also determined to finish Umbrella Academy season 2, on episode 5 so far
Have a good one guys n gals ♥️♥️
Since Ps5 preorder start on 18 dec 2020 and launch on 22 jan 2021 in Indonesia, I guess I'll be postponing playing ghost of tsushima until next year 😂
Oh well, at least the price isn't too expensive, at about $622 for the physical version.
Now I'm playing undertale on ps4, I bought this on the game launch day but distracted by other games, so I'm planning to play and finish it now. Man, I just realize that it's been 5 years since I bought this, time flies.
Also the game ps4 themes music is quite good, I'm gonna miss themes on ps5 so much, I got a couple of ps4 themes that I really love, like nier automata, ff7 remake, ghost of tsushima, undertale, and others.
What am I playing? Nothing on a PS5 for one! Finishing up Trails of Cold Steel IV before next gen. Can it be the 19th now? Please?
Playing Valhalla which has grown on me tbh. Honestly not as good as Odyssey but I have a soft spot for Kass so I may be based. Other than that work on some of my backlog before another Christmas sale comes around and I buy more games that I won't finish. 😂😂😂😂
I shouldn’t even post but I am in the US and was lucky to get a Ps5. I will be playing demons souls, the character creator is the best I have ever seen in any game to date.
Not much really, I'm just staring at this until Thursday. Oh and watching a very exciting F1 qualifying
Modern Warfare (PS4), Sniper Contracts (PS4) and Genshin Impact (PS4) as my PS5 won't be here til the 19th lol.
I'm playing the waiting game until "rest of world" gets it. Other than that, Hot Pursuit Remaster!
After getting the Plat for Astro's Playroom I've been digging into Bugsnax. Not a bad game at all, glad it was a Plus game otherwise I would never of played it (though I did stuff up the Plat for this grrrr).
And I've also discovered something called Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice on my Series X.
Valhalla really liking this game a lot more polished than Watch Dog Legions....and Terraria and the cute Planet Coaster.
Ghost of Tsushima
In a massive open world
Slicing up bad guys
Watching my Pittsburgh Steelers go 9 and 0 tomorrow.cant wait.the only undefeated team left in tbe nfl.playing call of duty ww2.hollow knight voidheart edition.and vampyr.word up son
I'm absolutely SLAMMED with games this weekend.
Yakuza 7, Demon's Souls, Astro's Playroom, Sackboy, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Bugsnax, and Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory.
Spider-man on Ultimate difficulty about 40% done and more Ni No Kuni wrath of the white witch and some VR. Giving the pro a good send off before replacing it with PS5 next week 😀. Happy gaming everyone!
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L
Man that sucks! I keep my profile locked for this reason. One time the wife got a trophy for me and I had to play the game to get that trophy (don’t care about 100%, just want to ensure everything on my profile is mine).
Killing time before some next-gen Spidey action next week with my slap-dash, sci-fi pick n' mix crew in Space Crew.
@carlos82 yeah the weather has made it a fun qualification session.
Playing both Soldner-X2 final prototype Definitive Edition brilliant game if your into Resogun style of game's, and COD Black Ops Cold War until the PlayStation 5 release's here in the UK.
Get all my progress back that I lost in Astro's Playroom from the game and console freezing on me last night after 2 hours of playing 😅
Doing fight clubs in Watch Dogs Legion and buzzing off the commentator. Geezer pal.
In Story B of Resi 2, playing as Leon and just got to a stage where his path is starting to feel slightly more different than A with Claire. I still think in many ways one playthrough is enough but I am enjoying the game.
Probably some Shadow of War as well, cleaning house by taking out as many orcs and captains as possible. Yeah it's a tad grindy doing this but it's helping me level up and acquire new skills plus I'm not really keen on getting too far into the story as Resi 2 is my main at present. Killing orcs is how I unwind.
😉
Enjoy your weekend y'all even you lucky PS5 owners. *****!
😜
@Hootnoodle LOl, I feel the same. I loved Kassandra!!! But Valhalla is growing on me too. At first I was like...this character does not compare to her but the more I play, the more I like it. Will be playing A.C. Valhalla this weekend.
Finishing another play through of Valiant Hearts. Lest we forget.
Just finished my 4th play through of Beyond: Two Souls and about to finally start Concrete Genie!
So much! A little Miles, a little Planet Coaster. I'll start Sackboy with my son. And I want to finish Leon's path in Resident Evil 2 Remake. Along with a new episode of The Mandalorian and showing my kid Evil Dead 2 for the first time, it's a good weekend.
A bunch of PS5 stuff for me. Played through Astro's Play Room, some Miles Morales, Cold War, & just on Demon's Soul currently. Demon's Souls looks incredible, probably the best graphics I've ever seen.
Trails Of Cold Steel 2 On PS4 and Resident Evil 2 on PS1
Compared to the first which I enjoyed all the way through Trails Of Cold Steel 2 has been wildly up and down for me in regards to my enjoyment with some very notable lulls. After taking a two and a half month rest away from it though, it's growing on me once again and I'm in the final stretch of the game. The phantasmal mirrors are pretty fun fanservice.
As for Resident Evil 2 I'm just about to finish up the stone puzzles in the chief's office with Claire and head out of the police station and into my first boss fight. Unfortunately my old PS1 disc is starting to show it's age and taking a while to load some things up!
Have a good weekend everyone and to those whom have them enjoy your new PS5's! Stay safe folks!
I finished the main playthrough of Astro's last night. I am not usually a trophy hunter but I think I am going to try to get the Platinum for Astro's this weekend.
I have also started playing Spider-Man remastered. I made it quite far in the original but never actually finished it.
I started playing AC:Valhalla earlier in the week but I think I am going to put that on hold for a bit. I like it so far, but I feel like this game is going to take a big block of dedicated time and there are a bunch of things I want to play right now. Also, maybe that will give them a little time to fix some of the worst bugs.
@777Reigns Yes feel the same way, it has definitely grown on me and majority of the characters are pretty great.
I'm wrapping up a bit of an uncharted replay marathon with Lost Legacy, which I'd forgotten has a personal bonus for me in that Naomi's constantly calling out Frazer, which is my first name - I don't get a lot of that in media 😂
@Deadhunter hope your kid isn't 4 years old ha ha - scar him for life lol. What a film tho
No ps5 for me for quite some time, but that is okay because there are still plenty of great games on ps4! I'll be playing Miles Morales and Beyond Light. Have a great weekend everyone!
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Made it to the Ice Cavern.
Halo: Spartan Assault (Windows Phone) - Decent twin stick shooter.
AlphaJax (Windows Phone) - Now it just keeps crashing on me...
Astros playroom and demons souls
@KingPev Ha. He's 11. In recent months he's watched all the Elm Streets, Aliens and Friday the 13th, along with Poltergeist and Shaun of the Dead. I think it's time. He also met Bruce Campbell at the age of 7.
Still playing WD legion, loved it at first... but it's turning out a tad repetitive and the story doesnt hook me. Still very enjoyable,
Also playing the SouthPark fracture butt hole on the switch.
Demon's Souls
Super Mario 64 on Switch.
If Sackboy is half as good as this work of Miyamoto genius then I'll be well chuffed.
I'm trying to finish up some loose ends before the PS5 arrives, so I've gone back to Horizon Zero Dawn (three years after finishing it!) to have a go at the Frozen Wilds dlc. Took a while to get back into it but I'm really enjoying it now.
Also, the occasional round of Pacer.
I'm mostly just carrying on with Yakuza 0 and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate.
Preordered Demon's Souls, but the PS5 launch is next week...
Until then, enjoying AC Valhalla, on PC with a DS4 gamepad... 2k, Ultra settings, looks and moves very well.
One of those people across the pond did not buy the PS five. I think I’ll wait a while I got plenty to do on the PS4. Playing Bugsnax it is ok!
Miles Morales on PS4, great start and the way Miles move will make it hard going back to Peter.
The Spiderverse suit is amazing in action.
Well, I don’t have a PS5 but I have the next best thing...Sega Genesis Mini!!! Still playing Phantasy Star IV on there. Anything on PS4 will be Street Fighter V, Samurai Shodown, and maybe Tekken 7.
Counting down the days until Thursday. Can't wait for Valhalla and Miles Morales! In the mean time, EA access has joined Game Pass so I'm going through Dead Space. One of my all time favourites. Always hoped for a 4th game. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.
I am playing the waiting game.
This weekend I'll continue to play around in the sandy world of Mad Max.Beat the story last night but after 72 hours in the game I still have plenty to do.
Also started AI Somnium Files a few days ago which I had bought in a sale ages ago and I'm loving it!
I had gone back to Final Fantasy XV recently but now I'm undecided whether to carry on or wait and use the Ps5 next week to speed things up a bit..
On the Switch I'll be doing the usual Animal Crossing,carrying on with Paper Mario and I recently tried the demo of Pikimin 3...which I love!
1. F1 (Turkish GP weekend 🏁🏎🏎🏎)
2. Astros Playroom
3. AC Valhalla
3. COD Cold War (PC)
Miles Morales is somewhere in the USPS. But I have more games than I can play.
@carlos82 Yeah, Pink Merc came alive today, not a fan of RP but Want Checo to do well. Tomorrow will be a good race.
@Wazeddie22 I would wait on FFXV for a week if you have other things to play. That speedup is worth it.
To all those whose PS5 launch date is next week, I hope you are able to secure one on Thursday. Over here, a lot of people who pre-ordered are still waiting on delivery.
Good luck to all!
I'll be waiting at least year before getting the PS5, and I'm putting little bits of money away every week to fund it (so I can get a fair few games with it when the time comes)
Until then I'll be working through my massive backlog, which I doubt I'll clear any time soon. Currently playing through the abomination that is WWE 2k20, and then onto Lego Star wars: TFA, followed by A Plague Tale: Innocence.
To everyone lucky enough to already have a PS5, enjoy! Looks amazing.
I’ve gone for a Series X. I never had an Xbox One so now I can play through the back catalog and pick up a PS5 in a couple of years. So this weekend I’ve been playing crazy amounts of Forza Horizon games. It’s the one series I always looked over at and felt very jealous I could not play, and they are so worth the wait.
I sold my PS4 Pro two weeks ago but kept my disc games.
So at present, i am not playing anything just counting the days down on my calendar for my PS5.
A crummy ol' last gen console apparently. But I'm not bitter! 😁😭
Sakuna R&R and probably some LP grinding on Street Fighter V.
Xbox One: Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War
Mobile: World of Kings
@Peach64 The Forza Horizon games are great. I am currently playing through 3 right now but you can't go wrong with whichever one you choose!
I won't ditch my PS4 like a kid that forgets about his loyal dog when he sees a new puppy lol
Yakuza 6 on PS4 and Shantae half genie hero on Vita for me. Miles Morales, Demons Souls and Sackboy have all safely arrived and will be staring at me until Thursday
My PS5 just got here, hopefully I can set it up and play Godfall soon. Dad duty comes first, I have a 3 year old son and 4 week old daughter, so it all depends on how they are today.
Ask me this time next week when it'll be Astro, DS, COD and Spiderman MM.
Until then, it's off to the Oculus Quest 2.
Cat Quest 2 and Ni No Kuni 2
Astro's Playroom two more trophies to get for the Platinum. Then I will start Spiderman Miles Morales.
For about the 19th week, still playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth Hackers Memory. Need 11 'mons 😵 and abyss server. And last colisseum. And 21 medals.
Ergh.
Played these games in the afternoon :
1. Animal Crossing Amiibo Festival Wii U
2. Paper Mario Color Splash Wii U
3. Para Para Paradise PS2
Played these games just now :
4. The Sims 4 PS4
5. Ratchet & Clank PS4
I'm playing the Nathan drake collection on my PS4. I completed the first one on hard, now I'm on Uncharted 2. It's very good.
Spyro, Spyro, Spyro...
Realised I hadn't finished off the Reignited Trilogy, so enjoying that for now...
Been playing AC Valhalla on pc, not getting into it, I think ghost of tsushima has ruined that game. Have just bought Spiderman MM and death come true on the PS4, so will check them out, plus will continue with dreamfall chapters, which I was playing before Valhalla.
@evan23 yeah I think I probably will,got so much still to be getting on with anyway.
As the Final Fantasy XV game is part of the PS Plus Collection do you know if I save my progress in the cloud from my original disc copy will I be able to continue my progress if I play the digital Royal Edition?
I'm playing AC Valhalla and as a Welshman I'm having a blast running around killing the English!
Again digging thru event level of Merge Dragons on mobile, and in spare time jumped to second half of Wolfenstein Old Blood (great game, especially retro levels - btw Wolfenstein 3D was first game I've played on PC).
Same as last weekend — Playing Resident Evil 2 Remake and a little Danganronpa V3. I’m on Claire’s first playthrough and just got to the Lab. In D3 I’m at the mid part of Ch. 5.
Unfortunately I struck out on my cyber stalking retailers for a PS5 this week. Alas, my PS4 still has a lot to offer. You chumps can just keep your stupid haptic feedback and adaptive triggers 😜
All on PS5: Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War.
Into the epilogue of Rdr2 now quite enjoying it then off through the backlog some.more.
I'm working long hours this weekend, but I'm hoping to squeeze in more Miles Morales on Sunday night!
working on Valhalla, CODBOCW, and Godfall.
Skyrim, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider.
Dying repeatedly in outer wilds, played it for a couple hours so far still not sure what I think of it.
Also need to reorganize to make room for the ps5 but the procrastination is strong right now.
@ChilledAtGaming Of course not, but I'm afraid that I can still only click the heart on your reply the once!
I don't know if anyone else is currently feeling like I feel...I don't really want to play anything on PS4! I'm just so anxious about getting PS5 that opening up the PS4 only makes it worse.
So today I spent all afternoon playing League of Legends and also a bit of Gears of War 2 on Xbox One...
Come on...let it be 19 of November already!
@Grimwood I think from what I've seen so far you must've switched the names around cause Cold War looks pretty meh in everything.
@wiiware The Assassin's Creed Syndicate theme is quite good as well.
@ymagre I bought the game special edition years ago but I don't think I got the theme.
