This is great and continuing the streak of Ubisoft going back to 60fps-ify their PS4 library, but I have to say I'm a little baffled by the choice to prioritise this title while beloved evergreen games like Assassin's Creed Unity, Watch Dogs 2 and Far Cry 3 remain stuck at 30fps.

@scottdevine48 That's exactly what this means.

@MTMike87 I think Sony are thoroughly done with PS4. They could have put Lego Horizon on it (they put it on Switch after all) but opted not to. Really hope they bring it to PS5 though.

@HonestHick Helldivers was always a Playstaton IP. Sony funded and published the first game.

Exciting. I wonder what this means, if anything, for the remake.

It is chump change in the grand scheme of things. Games aren't going to push the needle for Netflix and they'll likely (and correctly) be wanting to stick to the business they know. There's a lot of risk involved in bigger budget game titles - many of Warner Bros. recent releases being prime examples.

@LogicStrikesAgain It's important to remember that this likely isn't what the game would have looked like nor how Sony would have presented it. They've got to be operating on a much lower budget with fewer stakeholders (not always a good thing).

Though yes, this does feel more like a (polished) concept video that I would expect, for a large company, to be shown in internal meetings rather than publicly. It doesn't feel like it really has a marketable identity yet. Likely there's a lot they couldn't take with them when they went indie, legally speaking.

@wildcat_kickz I don't think he needs to play the games to make the film, but this is a hell of a strawman. These fans want him to understand the source material he's adapting, not fight bug creatures on foreign planets IRL (though I appreciate your comment is probably in jest).

12/15 and I'm pretty annoyed at myself for two of them. Had to guess the Astro question as i haven't played it yet (I will, I will). Luckily i guessed right.

@Czar_Khastik I'll bite, but this better not be something you've just made with AI to intrigue, bring people together and spark discussion within the GTA 6 community.

@nomither6 Well Rift Apart was a sequel to Into The Nexus, so it waa a continuation of the saga's story 8 years in the making. I think it really delivered.

I do think the 2016 game is great though, and overhated.

Just adding because it wasn't an option, but Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart was a superb sequel (though God of War Ragnarok still takes the cake).

You have no idea how close I came to buying Lego Horizon in the Black Friday sales the other day. I talked myself out of it because my current backlog is so huge. Glad I did.

@Yooka-Laylee Daysolay missure.

I will take it, and pray for a PS5 release. This looks really solid and I've been hungry for Ratchet multiplayer.

It's remarkable that they're brazen enough to offer Premium as a service.

I've never played Fatal Frame (though long heard of it) but this looked really excellent to me. May be my first.

This is becoming pathetic. Not only have Sony stopped adding their PS1 games, they're now ending up on a different console entirely. If they have a resource problem, they should build another team apart from Implicit. Why are they so bad at these initiatives?

@PuppetMaster I know, I'm lucky enough to have grabbed a physical copy back at release (because they're costly now), but I'm talking about a PS5 remaster which was rumoured last year, which would hopefully include a 60fps version of GR2. As someone who doesn't care about 4K, I'm happy with the PS4 remaster, but I imagine they wouldn't include it with 2 for newcomers.

They supposedly have a film in development (been a little while since last update), so I imagine it would timed to release so that they have a PS5 game on the (digital?) shelves for when the film releases, like they did with the Uncharted Legacy of Thieves collection.

A Gravity Rush Remaster was rumoured last year. Maybe it's on the cards? One can only hope.

Mostly though, I expect this to be third party focused.

This is neat. I think a third gen PS5 (a la PS3) that's even more discreet would be very cool, I just don't trust Sony to include a disc drive, detachable or not.

It's my primary concern about the PS6. I don't need more power, but a dockable handheld would be fantastic. I just don't see them putting a disc drive in the dock, and I'm not ready to leave physical media behind.

So at the end of the month does this content just.. disappear?

Just as a reminder Stephen, Sony have also announced Marvel Tokon for 2026, so they have three games slated so far.

This is a weak month. Stray might be a headliner if it hadn't been played by so many when it launched day 1 on Extra. Really needed one other crowd pleaser to bring it together.

@Oram77 I don't think you followed Sammy's point. "2027 is years away", nobody said they would be staggering SKUs. I appreciate that "years away" feels like more than two, but as far as rumours go, I don't believe there have been any to suggest a staggered release.

It's a predictably unconvincing, empty, nothing answer. This is surely profit/cost motivated - why add more if it de-incentivises further purchases down the road.

Back when they did MCC, I was amazed that every single game had it's multiplayer in tact.

Sure we'll probably get some live service Halo game down the line, but that's really not the point here - people evidently want classic Halo multiplayer, not something new.

No competitive multiplayer is an utterly bizarre decision. What on earth are they thinking?

@nessisonett Keir Starmer Seraphite Harmer.

I'll stick to my PS3 version. If Legend is anything to go by, this will be a big downgrade. Hopefully It doesn't negate Aspyr doing another remaster trilogy.

It all depends on the portable tbh. If it's just a home console at launch, I'm not interested. PS5 has solved enough of my gaming pain points.

I'm not worried about this, it could he for any number of reasons. He may have been headhunted for something he couldn't turn down, or maybe he's been saving for a retirement and is finally going to write that book. I also think new blood could be good for the series. I wouldn't mind a more drastic shift in direction.

While they are by no means obligated to work on something they're disinterested in, this is such a dumb excuse. Even if you're a one game studio, a remaster or port is not a full project, it wouldn't tie you up for five years nor would it occupy most of the team. Developers line Naughty Dog have been known to use remasters as projects to onboard new staff. And of course, as mentioned, the most likely answer is to outsource. I think I'd rather they just didn't respond to requests then give unconvincing answers.

@naruball This is exactly how I feel. I'm so non plussed about getting a PS6 seeing as I mostly play PS4 games on my PS5 and the console has addressed most of my quality of life improvement needs. I would actually love to just skip the PS6, at least for the first few years. I don't need any more power.

But damn, if there really is a handheld sku then they've just circumvented that whole reasoning. A portable PS5 would be a dream come true. I just hope it's less ugly than all these portable PCs (and I would love a disc drive on the dock so we can continue our physical library).

Now for the real question...do we get to earn trophies?

@Max_the_German You can say this about pretty much any news, but at the end of the day this is a gaming news site and it's role is to report on current stories.

I wish we got box art like this. At the very least it would make for a great reversible cover. If I can find a file of the artwork, I might have a crack at making a custom cover.

"PS5's most promising 2026 shooter"

Saros begs to differ.

@DonkeyFantasy Bingo!

@Acquiescence Hear that Push Square staff? Next time try checking the metacritic score to make sure yours is accurate before you publish. It's not that hard.

While good news, we're getting sub par PS2 versions of these games while superior PS3/360 versions already exist. Like Nessisonett said, I'd much rather receive another remastered trilogy with all the 60fps, 4K etc bells and whistles. They would likely require less effort to put together than the last two collections, I'd imagine.

I love Bond. I love Uncharted. I love me a bit a schlock, but watching that State of Play I can't help but be struck with just how contrived those sequences are, how bad the writing is and how much more work the voice acting needs. On paper, it's great, but in practice it seems too much a poor imitation of better things.

@DualWielding Ray-Tracing-Man

To be fair, I know exactly what they mean by Days Gone being Xbox Coded and I totally agree.

Does that increase its chances of coming to Xbox? No, not at all.

To those who haven't seen it: it's a comedy through and through: very light hearted and goofy, writing is perhaps a bit hit or miss at times, but I really liked the show, felt it had heart and would recommend it to anyone who wants a good time and isn't expecting Shakespeare.

@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare MLB hasn't always been cross platform. In fact it was quite a big deal when the league mandated to Sony that future releases be multi-platform from MLB 21 onwards.

It was the first time people saw a Sony published and developed title on a competing platform and was arguably the start of Sony's shift to a less rigid policy on platform exclusivity - even if, at the time, they were more pushed than chose to jump themselves.

The games are also developed in-house by Sony's San Diego Studio, so very much a 'real Sony game', even if they don't own MLB themselves.

@Czar_Khastik Haha, that's literally what they did with Cole in inFamous Second Son.

I think I would have preferred two different modes instead: 'Abby's story' and 'Ellie's story', so you get a sort of Resident Evil twist on it and can play through two different shorter versions of the game. Sounds like it would have been far less clunky too.

This is still cool though.

@nessisonett Don't plague my Xena Warrior Princess re-watches with yet more existential dread.

I know we all hate on Ubisoft for various valid reasons (well, 'anti-woke' mob aside), but I really hope they manage to turn the ship around over the next couple of years.

More industry consolidation is not what we need at the moment, and as big money chasing AAA publishers go, I always find Ubisoft's portfolio to be more refreshing and fun than the EAs and Activisions of the world.
