@zebric21 I did! The shooting didn't feel like a blast at all, considering this is first person and comparing it to other FPS games which I play a lot. I also think the first person perspective in this game is wrong. The game could've been better as 3rd person. The 5 hour demo is enough for me I'm afraid.

40 hours in, 15%, completely lost at times. Level 25. Having a great escape with this game.

@nessisonett I like to play that way too, and it seems far better than the message you get in HFW when you stroll too far, like 'You don't have access to this area yet' ...

@TheRedComet I second that!

@SomewhatDamaged Oh, and it's alarming to hear you've had problems with the PS5 and needed a repair... What happened? I've had small issues with one PS3 and one PS4 but so far the PS5 is still working.

@SomewhatDamaged The first few hours I was unsure about the game. Very strange(or unique) game and setup with the repeating days and same Maps over and over.But after a while it grew on me and I got totally lost in it for weeks with the infusing of weapons, bizarre atmosphere etc. and I got totally impressed by how different the maps felt at differing times of day. In the end I loved every aspect of the game, especially after mastering most of the abilities and weapons. The online trophies I think is annoying, so I didn’t plat the game, but got about 80% of the trophies.
Now I’ll dive into HFW next week.

Well, I for one follow Cory Barlog on Twitter, and it’s been radio silence for a long time now. Maybe crunch…?

I'd love a new Commando for PS5

I just finished Deathloop. And since I don't have too many great PS5 games I had to cave in and ordered this now. I pray I'll like it

@TheArt exactly this! I remember the PS3 days, good times in that department at least.

@get2sammyb I would just like it if Sony added back the old Trophy sound. Nowadays I barely hear the sound when a trophy pops. I loved the old one.

«Plus, Rockstar typically isn't the kind of company that announces things years ahead of their actual release.»

What? I seem to remember the hype train for GTAIV started autumn 2006, and the game finally released april 2008! Come on …

@get2sammyb Me too. And I don't get the hate or sarcasm pointed at this annual franchise, (allthough I know and have experienced the decline in quality myself) since these games are huge system sellers. Which is a good thing for all platforms in general and the economy for Sony especially, so they can continue to create the other great SP games such as GOW etc.

@RoomWithaMoose apart from all this, I also believe the race between Sony and MS to get a new generation going, happened too fast. Even this web site startet writing about the new gen months and months before we even knew if it was really going to happen. It's become a standard for a gen to last 6 or 7 years. I wonder when the hype for PS6 i going to start? The PS4 could easily have been the current gen during 2020 to 2022, and maybe the new consoles could've even been pushed to release late 2022 or early 2023.

Maybe they've actually reinvented the wheel ... and need som extra time as to just, you know, explain how it's all rolling

@shamirqushairi same, so you probably sucked at it like I did

More clunky machine killin ahead ... I just wish the fighting in the second one is more satisfying than in the first. That's all.
I'll see myself out I guess.

@Dan_ozzzy189 Ha, yes! I recall, that bit was really iffy.

I loved the Terra Cresta version by Ocean/Imagine on the C64 in the 80's, so I'll keep my eye on this. Now, hopefully the Bit Map Brothers will release Xenon Megablast for the PS5 and my life will be nearly complete

@UltimateOtaku91 Hm, really...? Well, up north where I'm at, 70 isn't unusual for a physical copy, dependening on the store. But in my country almost no stores is selling games physically anymore.
All Game shops are gone, Game Stop is history and the electro super markets has also dropped most of the physical PS5 games. So, to get the physical copy I need to order online and pay 70 + shipping.

@get2sammyb @Stragen8 You should read up on the guy on the Internet Activision is practically his life work. It's quite impressive what he has accomplished (aside from what has come to light recently of course). The man is rich beyond belief also, and has also starred in Hollywood film "Moneyball' (quite fitting I assume)

I just thought "what a slow news day", clicked in to Push Square during my last hour at work and saw this?!

My lord ... lost for words. And also this after all the negative press surrounding Acti, wow!

11/25 was my score

@Max_the_German yeah, exactly. Even though both games look stunning, the quests in the first one was teadious at best. And the talks... oh my. I platinumed the first, and I enjoyed the visuals, but the rest was tedious stuff. I truly hope Guerilla made everything more enjoyable for the second one.

@RamboMike I'm way older than you I'm afraid and I also play COD, and the muting is king not only Ping

@DoctorJohnDisco Hmm, I don't think you are referring to the same 'perks' as the article

@Korgon It was the same in Cold War with the mode: Onslaught. It was locked for all other platforms than PS, until November 1st 2021

@OMG_Waffles I think maybe the steep price point on games for the PS5 is harming sales. I've had my PS5 for 2 months now and still haven't bought a PS5 game since all are so pricey. I just play my cross gen versions on my PS5, of other games bought last year for my PS4.

@stefan771 Yes I am aware.
But this has nothing to do with the fact that R* isn't sharing any info regarding something which is actually news, in three years. I don't need them to "show" anything, but to at least communicate. Hell, have you read the articles regarding the new Remastered GTA Trilogy?

This company used to be experts in hype of their new titles (look back at GTA IV). You know well what I mean any many others on this site. No point in twisting this around i favour of R*.

@stefan771 are you aware that R* has studios all over the globe, and for comparison Santa Monica Studio released GoW in 2018 but we all know Ragnarok is on the way and we have known for some time now? There isn't and hasn't been very much news on the R* front for years now, other than remasters and GTA Online...
Hopefully R* is working on 'something' new, but to keep the customers in complete darkness and "remaster-ness" for so long, doesn't look good.

@Fenbops "Sony have raised the base price of gaming with their policies and that isn’t good for anyone"

yeah, this is true and I'm also worried. It's strange there isn't more talk/ articles regarding this...

@AdamNovice "Also this whole "year of silence " narrative you made for yourself is nonsense."

No it isn't!

@torne "Dear Sammy... maybe you should write for pure xbox instead"
Are you serious? That's just stupid. What do you even know about this site and the writers ...?

@Bdbrady How about news regarding Naughty Dog's TLOU MP? And maybe a release date at least for GOW. And where is Sony Bend at, and so on.

Too similar to what came before it, and so large it would eat up my life if I started to invest time in this. Oh, and I've just recently got my hands on the ps5 and to be fair, I don't think the character models in this video is doing it any favours ...

I would like to know what is going down in the NaughtyDog kennel...

@Jayofmaya Mad Max and Infamous first light, I believe have already been offered via ps+ earlier, if I'm not mistaking.

I was finally able to order a PS5 last week and will get it delivered today. I'm so happy now

Regarding versions; I seem to remember the PS4 got a new wifi antenna installed in the new version just months after release. I for one had to return my first ps4 with the glossy launch flap, because the wifi signal was extremely weak and jumped up and down and leaving the console useless without a cable. I got the matte plastic one when switching (this was all back in october 2014 almost a year after launch) and the wifi signal was and has always been, 100% after that.

@get2sammyb I finally got my hands on the ps5 (!)for 660 euros, so I guess a few bucks more for this expansion won`t make a difference 😅🍾

It’s all silly. This console is nowhere to be found in my region. I hope it soon will be possible to find it in physical stores and not just on online «lottery outlets» as it is here in Norway😐

@Quintumply any new trophies?

So the «Beta» is finally over and I can buy the finished game now… great!😊

Taylor Kurosaki, who left ND for Infinityward about 7 years ago, has now left IW. He didn`t say where he’ll go to pursue a great offer. But two days ago he tweeted «same thing, different decade» and enclosed a picture from a ND sound stage where they did motion cap for UC3. I believe he was involved in that title, so could this be a hint to that he moved back to ND and is actually working with the UC universe?

@get2sammyb Im betting there will be flying mounts both on ps4 and 5. I trust Guerilla will pull this off. Just like R* who in the past have created fantastic routines and compression of data to pull off the rediculous amount of stuff in GTA5 back on the PS3 and forward. Its challenges like this which drives the devs to excel.

Won't be able to purchase the damn PS5 until 2022 at the earliest, so I don't give a d*mn. But R* ain't the game makers the used to be, as in they don't make new games anymore ... :-/

I just want a PS5. It can whine all it want ... if I just have it. Sigh ...

Looks promising indeed. I really disliked the last Doom, so this could be a remedy.

@Chief_Forasteiro the gun play in RDR2 is mostly sh*t, although a little better than previos R* titles. R* should absolutely improve on this, but hey, they stopped making news games so ...

I want to buy a PS5 god damn it! Where is it....!?

No luck so far :-/ But this probably means I'll be getting one just in time before the PS6 hype train starts up ...
