Nice, hopefully they deliver, love a good skating game. Nothing could ever beat Rockstars - Thrasher, Skate and Destroy on PS1 😉

For me, I've not console gamed for years, so the offering for me is well received. I have missed so many games over the recent years and now the premium service gives me the opportunity to catch up and for what I consider a reasonable price.
Also, 3 PS5 games that were on my wishlist are great value for money; Demon Souls, Returnal and Ghost of Tsushima means that I'm a happy chappy right now 😊

Now I love me some classics, I do... I've already revisited old classics such as Syphon Filter and Tekken 2, but the offering here is weak and this is where there is definitely room for improvement. There are some real gems that Sony could drop that would please older gamers and hopefully, bring enjoyment to the younger gamers who didn't have the chance to play them the first time round.

TLDR:
I suppose, I'm happy for now, a good foundation to build from - just hoping for some more classics and hopefully game offerings rotate and stay fresh.

I saw Dragon's Dogma at a friend's house on his PS3, way back when...... I instantly went out and bought a PS3 with Dragon's Dogma 😂

I've retro gamed before and in most cases, the games are better left in memory....
But amongst many other treasures, I would love to revisit:

• Alundra
• Thrasher, Skate and Destroy

Who spoke ill of Divinity!? One awesome A/RPG right there ! Thinking about it makes me want to play it... right now!
RooOOAARRR!!!!

wow! My day made, I was recently discussing SOS: The final escape! What a game.

I have no complaints about this! One more thing ol' painless can do and having the "option" of playing some PS2 classics is got to be a good thing right ? !

SOS THE FINAL ESCAPE anyone ?

Since its FFVII confession, time I may aswell come clean....

I cried when Aeris died :'''(
I was too young and niave for that type of pressure!! And she was also my strongest character !

So. I have been wrestiling with this for a while now.
The PES demo felt amazing and my mind was made up that instance. Then the full release comes out and suddenly I start regretting buying it.... did I make a mistake? Should I return the game? I was very close. But I have peresevered with it for now. It just enrages me, how different the game feels online. The AI shifts are so blatant, sometimes you can't defend and the amount of draws I have had is laughable.

I played my first FUT game on FIFA16 t'other day, I had the starting team made up of the free packs they give you (so not a very good team) but manager to scrape a 2 - 1 victory against a better side, but the point is the experience felt similar to the offline play (admittedly1 game isn't really a fair test).

I love PES, I do, I love the fact someone at the HQ has cast a phoenix down on the game. But the online is annoying me, I'm at the point where I would rather lose than take a draw. At least It's justifieable by the fact the opponent is simply better, not some BS AI momentum shift.
Rant over !
BTW my Friendly Lobby win rate is 100% - maybe it is just MYCLUB ?

I was the local THPS champ in my teens, I had several grudge matches with kids from my local skate park to prove my epic skillzzzz!
You folks must of forgot about the most legendary skating game in history, made by none other than Rockstar - Thrasher. Skate & Destroy.
I can still play and enjoy that game today!

I can't wait for TWITCH app! Then I am not limited to just PS4 streams. Kappa !
Communities sounds interesting...

@get2sammyb
DOCTORRR!!!! ..... Attend in Psychiatry please!
Nurese required in Ward!
Honestly though, some of the classic's from when we were kids are worth leaving in your memory....

Well, I know which one I prefer... PES, without a doubt. That being said, PES is better on the pitch... but not off. My Club, still seems poor in comparison to FUT - I find my self logging in for the daily bonus and playing 1 match for the first win bonus, but that is it. The lack of updated rosters just enrages me. I have already spent about 2 hours in Edit Mode getting all the correct kits / emblems / managers and I out right refuse to invest more time doing transfers.
... that along with Lag, poor keepers online, news updates, forced roster / form checks at launch of the game and My Club are just amongst some of the shortcomings of the game.
The good news is the engine is amazing and all the aforementioned issues can be fixed in time - I have no doubt that PES 2017 will be even better

The tempation became too stronk so I got this game at the weekend. I completed it by Sunday night, it took me about 10 hrs. Ofcourse I was exploring every nook and cranny and taking my time.
A visually stunning, compelling story which keeps you intrigued & guessing. The butterfly effect really makes you think about your decision.
My ending turned sour - Only 2 survived.... Oh well, I have enough heart to do a re-run in a couple of weeks; in the meantime MGS V needs a good seeing to. ^_^

PES 2016 has won my money this year. I have played both demo's and the games of PES had me applauding the graphics and animations, the goals or saves (keepers are amazing) whether mine or my rival (brother in-law ). Then there was Fifa... the blasted game (filled with the most annoying AI) looks almost the same as FIFA 15 - they fixed the keepers as they were broken in and put the match speed settings on +2.
I just feel that fifa is not moving forward, Fifa 14 was a good fifa, then 15 came out which was horrendous and now Fifa 16 has hardly moved forward from last years iteration. I think EA need to bring more to the table. Maybe a fall from grace will do the series good - like it has PES ?

@kyleforrester87
wow! I had no idea there was so many! Thanks for the advice! The side-ops are ok but becoming a bit too repetative, however the story missions are epic!

Great review - Totally agree with the lack of Big Boss (I miss D. Hayter TBH).
I am still only about 8% through.
I am taking my time completing all the Side-ops before progressing the story; which is the reason I believe I am progressing slowly. It's okay but I do think it leads to pacing issues, because of my obsession with remaining upto date - I really just wan't to smash the missions!
That being said though, this game just keeps getting better, the base developments for example, never did I expect the level of depth on offer. I just had to restructure the motherbase & sacked about 20 trouble causers from my ranks for lowering morale! Other things like sliding down hills in boxes! Most games lay out whats on offer very early and I feel I have the game down almost immediatly - Not MGS V: PP, new depths / discoveries still!
phew... now I wan't to play.

Just briefly on the score 9/10 is a solid score. I think that is about the best you can get, I always snarl at 10/10 reviews, because no game is perfect and 10/10 implies that. This game is a masterpiece as most agree, but it isn't without fault and could be better - in the areas Adam highlighted, for example. Of course you could say that with only 8% progression I don't qualify to give a score.... & you are right... I don't
Have fun!

Cracking game! Can't put it down - even when it puts me down.

Nice , I loved Digimon World - I spent many hours roaming the lands a giant poo!

Enjoying this game - Thank you for the controller tips, which I wasn't aware of
I like to think of the DS4 in Wild Hunt as Geralts guild (wolf) medallion

But does it have screen shot mode ?

Are we talking rapture in the biblical sense?
Sweet - Just a shame the main character appears to of got left behind.
(Will watch the video later - can't right now)

Well in! Photo mode FTW - I held off playing this game, so will enjoy this feature when I swoop it up for a good price.

Battlefield Hardline/s (a cocaine game ?) was bitterly disappointing, I am so stupid, I disliked the Beta but still bought it! Darn that pretty EA Promo Poster that caught my eye in Asda!!!
Anyway, I got rid of BF:H this weekend - Good riddance!
Bloodborne is 1000 times better - Just whooped Father Gascoine, an epic battle indeed!

Hi

@kyleforrester87
Yo man! I began playing FFIX the other day (for nostalgia) and it seemed to be absolutely fine for me... but then I did do a fresh install after the new patch. Maybe that counts for something?

This looks ace. Now I can simulate my dream of being a farmer and be satisfied with life....

Haha, Where is the SHOCKING INTERVIEW with Pedro Lopez talking about Kojima's departure from Konami!?
Jeremy has one, surely Kojima has/deserves one, right ?

It is a cracking game and was pleased to see a large patch come through the other day with fresh content

Yes! On the hype train! I need to read more of the story. Are we talking the biblical rapture?

Can't wait for the return of WWWW.

Forcing broken games to work by holding down that magic button at the end of the console - In fact I managed to play FF8 disc 1 (only a 3rd of the disc was present at the time ), with disc 2! the game worked find but FMV's were all screwy

Yep, the game looks immense graphically. Combat looked so fluid and so diverse, - Stealth style, butcher style, it was sweet. Shame about that blasphemy though....

Classic, loved this game !

Cracking game! Had so much fun on this game when I was young(er).
Classic resident evils are sublime!

PES 2015 is my football game this year - Way more impressive - Fifa 15 is 14 with shirt pull and mud marks on shorts... and the football still vanishes when it goes into the crowd... for those that know what I mean

This is awesome news! Should be around the time I upgrade my Xperia Z

An a side note - "Groundhog Day" is one of my top 3 films of all time

Hmmmm - I always wanted to play PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. Lets get it on!

@ get2sammyb
Yo! I changed that profile pic, it was awful.
Now You got a nice pic of me

To be a Gamer - like me - is to believe in life!
Don't waste it folks - EA loves you

Loving the Twin Peaks reference! I am just finishing the closing episodes of Season 2!

Good going Sony.

Sorry... I couldn't resist

Great article by the way

"To be a gamer is to believe in life!"
What a preposterous statement... please...

I would love to know the exact sales figures for each one of these avatars.

WAS THAT A HONEY BADGER!!!!????

Awesome - Missed this last gen, looking forward to this one ! Don't you just love the developers for providing people the opportunity to play their (great?) games, with a remastered edition..

Wow! This looks epic!

@PoNY_LTD WOOOO! That profile Pic just nearly killed me! Too funny !!!!

Nothing recent attracts me. RE1,2,3,Code V all the way! - and a bit of Silent Hill 1 and Dino Crisis on the side
