I was intrigued by the cinematic trailer, this gameplay teaser has got my attention. Looks solid, definitely Dead Space and Resident Evil influenced. No bad thing.
I took my 2 kids to see it Friday, they enjoyed it thoroughly, as did every other child in there. It's a solid 6/10 family movie as far as I'm concerned. The cheers and applause at certain moments did confuse me. I am 47 mind you, so not the target demographic.
I'll be honest, I was waiting for GOW Ragnarok to hit PS+. Enjoyed the previous entry but not enough to warrant another purchase, and have a heap of games backlogged. Patience is a virtue. Atlas Fallen, Anno and Sayonara are also going to be queued up.
Just completed Banishers, good game. Solid AA effort. Intriguing setting, brilliant voice acting, and generally interesting missions. Combat is ok (on a par with Greedfall, AC Odyssey etc) cluttered map, probably too much backtracking, and it did leave a little to be desired performance wise (in quality mode). I enjoyed it, my type of game, hope to get a sequel. Would be interesting to see the protagonists in a different setting, maybe 17th century Cuba or Scotland?
Played an hour of the beta last night. Most definitely not a AAAA game. AA at best. I won't be buying it at full price (never do with anything), might pick up a bundle on deep sale in the future.
My son plays it too much tbh. All his friends from school, their siblings, Thier friends. Watched him playing it on his tablet the other day, performance was near unplayable. Probably 5 -10 FPS? He'll be buzzing for the PS4 version. This is a big deal in our house
Finished up Spider-Man and dlc, just smashed through Until Dawn in one sitting with the wife (managed to keep 3 alive, quick replay of last chapter resulted in 6)
Nearly done with I am dead, then onto, in no set order, heavy rain, death stranding and ghost of Tsushima.
Pre-ordered. Not expecting game of the year, but as long as it's got a fairly decent and immersive story and passable action I'll be happy enough. Style wise it looks fantastic.
I am intent on playing this one day. The visual style is stunning. Boss and enemy design is out of this world. But, I'm a little reticent due to the difficulty level. I am lucky if I can put over 12 hours a week into gaming, so don't feel I'll get to see even 95% the game has to offer.
Don't have a PS5 or play online multiplayer. I am confused as to why PS5 has had a decent single player game 2 months in row, when PS4 owners don't receive the respective version. Again nothing for me this month ๐
@Blacksmith1985 Your situation puts a lot of these comments into perspective. Stay strong, the UK is behind you, I do wish we could do more, but that madman has his finger on the button. He wants the west to intervene. Ukraine will survive.
Think about this another way. Imagine if that was the first GTA or Rockstar game you bought. You most likely wouldn't buy another. Once bitten, twice shy so to say.

Re: Empire of the Ants May Be the Most Photorealistic Game on PS5
Yeah, really interesting concept. Hope there is plenty of depth, not just a tech demo with shallow strategy bolted on

@Northern_munkey
It's definitely worth a look. I quite enjoyed it. Bit janky in places, but a solid effort. A must for Lovecraft fans really.
Re: Bill & Ted's Excellent Retro Collection Will Be Removed from PS5, PS4 Very Soon
I'm pretty sure if it was selling bucketloads they'd be able to extend the license.
Re: Roblox Finally Comes to PS5, PS4 This October
My son plays it too much tbh.
All his friends from school, their siblings, Thier friends.
Watched him playing it on his tablet the other day, performance was near unplayable. Probably 5 -10 FPS?
He'll be buzzing for the PS4 version.
This is a big deal in our house

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for June 2023?
Already own Trek to Yomi, but it is good. Quite enjoyed the first JPW. NBA 23, meh.
Decent selection in all honesty.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 430
Yakuza like a dragon. About 4 hours in, whilst the pacing is a tad pedestrian, I'm enjoying it.
Re: GreedFall 2: The Dying World Announced for 2024
I enjoyed it.
Looking forward to seeing what they do with a bigger development team and potentially higher budget.

Re: PS5 Action RPG Steelrising Sharpens Up with 5 Minutes of Gameplay
I really enjoyed Greedfall, so I'm looking forward to this.
It does look janky, as was Greedfall, but the design and aesthetics won me over.

@Grimwood What do you mean?
Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for PS5, PS4 in April 2022 Do You Want?
Death stranding or Spiderman would be good. Haven't played either yet, and seem like good candidates. Both Sony titles.

Googled it. Forza let you buy and sell at auction.
Re: Gran Turismo 7's Prestige Cars to Be Dynamically Priced by Real-World Valuation Company
This points to seeing an auction house in the game in the future.
Can anyone remember which game did this before?
