One of the dumbest moves Sony made was closing Evolution. There's easily room for more than one racing franchise in the first party line-up. Still, glad to see the team is getting to work on so many hit franchises. They did excellent work on Onrush and Dirt 5.

I think they've missed the mark in understanding what people loved about Black Flag. I want to be wrapped up in a pirate yarn, playing as a character with agency, not just some mute avatar. I want to be able to jump off my ship and swim to nearby islands, walk around towns at night and get into brawls in local taverns, not just designated safe hubs. Not for me.

@nessisonett But the technological and quality of life jumps were far bigger then than now, it's apples to oranges. A 2022 game is far more similar in design to a 2012 game than a 2002 game is to a '96 game. Also, all of the major issues that needed to be addressed like frame rate and resolution were fixed in the 2014 PS4 release, which itself runs perfectly on the PS5.

@nessisonett At least we get the best boxart. I'm still haunted by the awful US version of Heavy Rain...

Please add Shadow Warrior 3 so I can vote. It's the only 2022 game I've played (though I have just picked up Horizon FW).

Hey everyone, this didn't work for me but just tried it through a link on hotukdeals.com and it just worked (and i did it by buying a discounted £50 digital card from shopto for only £45. So worked as of 09:40 BST

Whoooooooooo...

@PhhhCough Absolutely!

This is a good move!

@OmegaStriver And that's exactly why it's not free.

@kyleforrester87 Well Polyphony kind of circumvented the negative press by postponing these economy changes until after the metacritic scores and initial sales had come in (this looks totally pre-meditated in my book), so I see these scores as something of an equaliser, at least a way for those consumers who already bought the game to get their voices heard. Dirty tactics on dirty tactics.

Metacritic user scores are still a terrible way to decide if you want to buy a game though.

Oooh this one was tough. 11/15 (with a couple of good guesses).

@rpg2000 If there's a problem, it's more likely the unchallenged impulse to call people 'whiny' for having another opinion. Do you really not see the irony here?

I remember having my mind blown when I first played Ps Vita games like Uncharted Golden Abyss, Killzone Mercenary and Gravity Rush and realised how great gyro-aiming was.

I was then so disappointed when Uncharted 4 didn't have it. Of all the improvements, it would have been no.1 for me on the PS5 collection. Hopefully Playstation see a positive reaction to this and studios start patching it in.

The name breaks something in my brain because it sounds so much like 'Soul Sacrifice'.

Have you ever heard a score trying so hard to sound like the Pirates of the Caribbean theme without breaching copyright law?

@Apfelschteiner They already have several studios in Japan, but if you're becrying the closure/restructuring of the game dev Japan Studio, I share the sentiment.

@Max_the_German Isn't CET just GMT+1?

I'm the biggest Uncharted fan I know and I'm honestly so underwhelmed by this release. It's the least exciting thing they could have done.

@wiiware This actually isn't the Amy Henning/Visceral Game, that was in development after 1313 was cancelled and never got a title, but it does show that both Lucasarts and EA had a similar journey of wanting to create an Uncharted style game before backing out.

I would personally love to see some footage from that cancelled game. 1313 always seemed very derivative to me, but by virtue of the people behind it (and perhaps simply because it exists almost entirely in the imagination), I was really hopeful for the promise of an Amy Henning Star Wars game.

One of the five borderlands two dlc's being one of the free games is joke.

@MyThoughts31 Congratulations on missing the point so spectacularly.

Only Cineworld? What a disappointment. I'd expected there to be an option between different major chains like Vue and Odeon so people could watch it at their local cinema.

Sony, now is the time to buy some goodwill and give people more reasons to go Playstation, not carry on with the cock-teasing (even if it is unintentional).

One of my absolute favourite PS4 games, don't skip it!

This is the worst outcome of a terrible situation.

I do not know what to say. What a terrible day for gaming. Where does this end?

I feel like I enjoyed the original trilogy almost equally. Even though I think the sequels are better than Drake's Fortune, not much can beat booting it up and playing it on my PS3 on Christmas day. It was such a beautiful and exotic setting with rich characters and a really engaging story. I know standards have increased a lot since then, but I still feel it has the same charm today.

That said, I have similar feelings for all of them, but gun to head, Uncharted 2 is probably the most fun I've ever had playing a game.

@Spyroescape We are in the comments section for an article on a gaming website. People are going to state their opinions, and doing so doesn't mean they aren't doing other things with their lives.

@R-Soub Yeah, as much as I enjoy my PS5, there isn't really a need for one just yet.
Just be sure to claim your monthly PS5 games for PS+ by using the PS Store on a computer, as that way you'll have a bunch of PS5 games ready to play when you do get one, and you can't claim them via PS4.

@R-Soub Yes they are!

Can a business analyst do a quick look over of ESA's finances and tell us if they're in trouble? I'll pay you £1.50.

None isn't a possible option in the question of 'most'.

Finally, this makes me very happy!

A very remarkable figure in the industry, he was behind some of my favourite games. Sad but grateful for everything he gave us.

These look great, though obviously hard to tell until it's seen in motion, I'm very optimistic that this will perform well on PS4 based on WWS's and GG's track record. I'll obviously be playing on PS5, but I'm glad PS4 owners will be able to play this with minimal compromise.

What a Serious S(h)am(e) 4 for the PS5.

@AllenSnyder The Ultimate Edition was £25 for Clubcard members at Tesco a couple of weeks ago, but the best way to play Miles Morales is still to borrow it from a friend.

@playstation1995 Sleeping Dogs need a PS5 patch word up son.

What a load of nonsensical babble.

You bought it to sell your platform, releasing on competing platforms doesn't fit into your business model. Just say that. What are you afraid of?

@TheDudeElDuderino What agenda do you think pushsquare are pushing?

@thefourfoldroot They hired Aaron a couple of months ago for precisely the reason of boosting their video profile and output, so I'd expect more of this.

I think he's doing a really good job too, and this topic is the kind of niche thing that many Playstation fans care about and will find useful down the line but wouldn't likely be covered by other outlets, so I really appreciate it!

I don't know how people are complaining, this is a good month! 6 games, 4 for non VR users if the Persistence does indeed play without.

I have been waiting anxiously for this. Can't wait, I'll be there!

I would love proper Ghostwire demo, but I think this event may be somewhat short for that.

@Quintumply I had no idea they had a Trello board but having now checked it out, that's really great. I would personally not have a problem with MM taking their time but as a longtime PlayStation fan I have this ingrained anxiety from Sony shutting down some of my favourite studios despite relative financial and critical success (Sony Liverpool, Evolution etc.).

I think that may be where a lot the fan desire for Dreams to become 'a hit' stems from. It may well be that Dreams is meant to be more of a game with a small dedicated community, a cult hit that more than adequately satisfies a particular type of gamer, and I would be happy to let it be that, but concern over Sony's ambitions and expectations creates this urge for it to expand in more mainstream ways, to get multiplayer, add a ranking system, grab a bit of the 'Fall Guys', 'Among Us' Roblox' crowd with a few viral games and youtuber attention.

I believe Media Molecule have built something more than capable of accommodating that, and early last year it did garner some promising internet attention, though it was fleeting. At the core I just hope for the continuation of Media Molecule and all that they do. They are one of my favourite teams and, in my opinion, one of the best and most daring, creative developers around.

@Quintumply Honestly, as an long time dreams advocate and fan, the fact that the game still doesn't have multiplayer is massively stunting it's growth. They'll need to do a soft re-launch when they finally add it so that it doesn't just fly under the radar, and they'll need to have some in house multiplayer games ready to go.

@brado33434 Completely agree, was only talking from a visual tech standpoint.

@velio84 We're getting a crazy Q1 with Elden Ring in January, Horizon in February and GT7 in March. Considering Forspoken is scheduled for Spring, I could imagine it coming right afterwards and God of War not long after that. We got it good!

@KundaliniRising333 Yeah it's quite funny that Demons Souls out-shines everything, even From Software's latest. I know that's to be expected with this being a massive open world but even without considering that, I think it just shows how ahead of the curve Bluepoint are.
