It’s a pity that the console was deemed a failure. I enjoyed what I played on it and still use it back and fore to this day. Definitely agree with the back touchpad being unnecessary, it had a touch screen so this should have been enough. It was a sad day seeing the Vita being used as a side mirror for an F1 game. Just showed Sony didn’t know what to do with it…
Apart from an announcement of Forza Horizon 4 (never going to happen unfortunately), I have zero interest in seeing any Microsoft owned IPs on PlayStation, so I wouldn’t be too fussed about anything Xbox related on a state of play. I’d be happy to see more on Death Stranding 2, but I think a star of the show would be a new Resident Evil or remake from Capcom!!
I imagine the Switch 2 will sell at a gargantuan pace as long as Nintendo can meet demand, but that is probably why Nintendo have held off announcing the system as they get ready to have as many consoles ready for launch. Everyone I know is buying a system as soon as they are able to, and I can imagine some pretty special games at launch that will drive sales even further!
The next release by Naughty Dog is going to be their most important in their history. If it sells fantastically well and garners huge critical acclaim, the studio will definitely be regarded as one of Sonys best once again. However, if things go awry, this will definitely be a defining moment for Naughty Dog for altogether different reasons. The big budget costs of games is definitely heading in the direction of unsustainable and with Sonys finances nowhere near competitors, they really can’t afford to have failures. Naughty Dog have sunk a probable huge sum of money into the Factions 2 title with zero return and now with Intergalactic costing a probable huge sum, it will really be interesting to see how things progress after its launch (whenever that may be). I can see Sony Japan taking far more control of their studios going forward if things go wrong, as some of them have a very large element of control as to what they pursue. If the studios end up costing Sony more than they gain, then sustainability will become a far larger matter to address and given that the games sector is a big part of Sonys earnings, they can’t afford to run risks.
It’s a month for me that I own 2 out of the 3 games, but I don’t think it’s a bad month. I was extremely vocal about the failure of Suicide Squad after playing the beta, but playing the game with friends a few weeks ago has actually been a lot more fun than I thought. So much so, I am grinding the endgame for weapons just for the sheer hell of it and it’s pretty addictive. I went for the platinum first and foremost and that wasn’t even a terrible grind like a lot of people complained. All in all, I hope a lot more people try it as I definitely will jump in on random games to play with folk if the chance arises.
I played it at launch on PlayStation 4 and after I got the Platinum on an older account, I redid the game on my current account, simply because I loved it so much! It was buggy, but everyone had the same bugs to deal with, so it always felt even when I played with friends. We even started to play it every Friday night as a wind down game after a hard week! Loved those sessions so much, always a huge laugh with a full lobby of friends. I wasn’t there at the end, but I will still miss the game loads!!
In all honesty I am not interested in getting GTA6, although all my gaming buddies are picking it up when it launches. I just never really got into the games at all, excluding the 4th one which I did like. Everything before and after that didn’t really interest me. Very happy for everyone that is excited for the launch as this game is going to be a great jumpstart for the industry I’m sure!
Hot pursuit Remastered is a really good game from back in the day, so that’s strong. I bought Suicide Squad during the last sale and apart from a few cutscenes, I have enjoyed the game way more than I expected. Sure, it’s not in the same league as the Arkham titles, but it’s not the same kind of game at all, so I can live with that.
I would like to have seen a remake of Dead Space 3 before a 4th game, since that wasn’t took good back on PS3! However, I would have been happy to see the guys who created the first games give the series another bash in time. I actually think Glen Schofield did a really good job on The Callisto Protocol and I enjoyed it loads more than I thought I would! 😄
Every months outgoings always feel like a bigger loss that the incoming titles. The service really needs to have a far better consistency of good games. A few years ago, I genuinely felt that PlayStation Plus was a match for Gamepass, I even preferred the games available to the service, but now? Not so good.
Apart from the Forza Horizon games (especially 4) and Sea of Thieves, I haven’t really played games on the Xbox that I would desperately want to play if they were multiplatform. I game specifically on PlayStation and have done for years purely because all the first party games have appealed to me way more than what Microsoft does. That hasn’t changed even with all the acquisitions. It’s better for everyone that many games that they thought would be held off PlayStation will still be available and since Microsoft seems more and more likely to be a 3rd party developer in the future, I really can’t see myself buying too many of their games moving forward anyways.
I have already said in other posts, I picked this up on the sale and although I skipped most of the cutscenes, the game itself as a looter shooter was not horrific. For sure it is nowhere near the levels of Arkham games, but they are not the same kind of games at all and I enjoyed it for what it was. I fully expect that if Rocksteady get another chance to make a game, it will be a follow up to Arkham Knight or something like that and it really needs to happen or this would have been a really bad way to end as a developer.
I would love to see Clover giving a chance to create Devil May Cry 6! I would definitely feel relief if that happened since Hideaki Itsuno is no longer at Capcom! 😀
With the recent sales, I picked up Suicide Squad and played that with friends. Even though the story has questionable pathways, I have enjoyed the game a lot more than I expected. It’s not the same game as the arkhams, so going into it with that in mind, it’s actually a pretty good looter shooter. I am also playing Alan Wake and the Horizon remaster, so all in all I have a good mix on the go!!
@nomither6 like I said, definitely not the worst game I have played, but I didn’t for one second think that it was even close to being on par with the Arkham games. I just think that for what it is, it’s not a terrible game by any stretch of the imagination. Storyline choices were well off, but I have had my moneys worth on my way to the platinum so far and that is definitely good.
I get the negativity that this game garnered big time and I do agree with what has been said to a point. I recently picked this up on sale and I have been playing it steadily on the way to getting the platinum and I have really enjoyed the gameplay. The story was sucky and didn’t do justice to any of the characters at all, but the endgame has been pretty good. There was a good game trying to get out and for the most part, it has worked out for me. I haven’t played this in coop at all, doing everything myself and I haven’t regretted playing this. The new season will definitely keep me on the game for a while and it’s most welcome as I am grinding to level 50. Definitely not the worst game I have played, that’s for sure!
I remember reading at the time that one of the biggest factors that managed to prise so many developers from staple relationships with Nintendo was the fact that CD Rom offered such a massive jump in storage, allowing the developers the opportunity to realise their dreams for a title without cartridge constraints. But the Whiskey was a good addition to the story! 🥴
I would really like to see AstroBot win the game of the year award. Sure, the Elden Ring DLC was awesome, but the game had its recognition and deservedly so last year, so it would be fair for another game to get a chance at this years award. I think the idea of a DLC winning Game of the Year is crazy though.. When The Last of Us Part 2 won the award a few years ago, by this years thinking, the game could have had a second bite at the award when the Grounded DLC was released, and that is just plain ridiculous thinking. What next, NG+ taking the award? 😅
Although I love the series, I will probably pass on this. Going by what has happened to previous outings, delisting them and making them unplayable isn’t really how I want to play my games.
Every week I write the same thing right now. Sea of Thieves. It’s taking up nearly all my game time right now. I try to mix in the odd title, at the moment that is Alan Wake 2, which is fantastic. I can safely say Sea of Thieves will take me months to 100%.
I am a massive fan of Capcom, easily my must favourite developer, but I didn’t really hit it off with this game at all. Although a brilliant looking game, I couldn’t help feel that I would have far preferred an Okami Sequel as opposed to the strategy title that we got here as the look of the game really reminded me of the title from Clover Studios. I definitely would have loved to have seen a physical edition aswell, even a collectors edition of some sort, Japan usually releases pretty cool editions of games on the Capcom eStore, but alas..
As long as they leave Capcom alone, I genuinely don’t care about anyone else that they would acquire. Ubisoft are damaged to all hell now, they would take extreme work to get back on their feet, so if that was the next company Microsoft went for, no worries. Besides, it is clear as day that Microsoft are transitioning to 3rd party, so for the mainstream gamer, there will be little effect to what they play as everything will be on PlayStation regardless.
I actually think this is cool as hell! I guess it’s an ‘each to their own’ point of view, but I definitely want that themed Cammy Ghost as she is my main in street fighter! 😂😅
When I see PlayStation adverts, I would actually love to see some actual gameplay footage of titles to look forward to as opposed to people running around the streets going crazy. Nowhere near as good as the adverts from days gone by..
If ever there was a game that could do with a delay, this is it. The game ran pretty poorly for a title that really isn’t too far off its release date, so rather than have a situation like Dragons Dogma 2, Capcom should hold back a few months and at least get the Series X and PS5 versions running a lot better than the beta showed!
Happy to hear this. Additionally, it would be great if Sony shows information about games they are going to release moving forward. I’d like to know about a games existence a year or so in advance, followed by previews and footage as the launch window approaches. The build up to the original PS4 God of War games was awesome. By the time the game was released I was super super excited. That’s how I want to feel about Sonys first party games moving forward!!
What needs to be done is perhaps ask fans what they want to see in a live service game. I personally haven’t got too much interest in these types of games, but if I was to be part of the target audience, character design would be paramount. I would also think something with an amazing storyline that could be built upon would be good too, but it would have to be meaningful and add to the content. I always associate Sony with awesome storytelling, so with keeping with this, that may help them in building upon their live service dreams. If a lot more were shared with fans instead of keeping everything at Sony secret then public opinions could be garnered before releasing huge disasters. Also, I honestly cannot think that The last of Us factions game was a worse title than concord and that never got to see the light of day.
This is just the weirdest generation for sure. I remember when I came from PS3 and saw Destiny for the first time on the PS4, I was blown away! When God of War made it to PS4, again I was amazed at the quality. I just haven’t seen a game on PS5 that couldn’t have been done on the PS4 yet. Granted, it’s great to see a console get a game running at 60fps and 4K, but the actual look of the games aren’t really anything more than what has been seen for the last 10 years or so. If a game came out on the PS5 Pro that runs at 30fps because it is such a graphical monster, that would actually be good (and probably GTA6), but right now there isn’t really a reason for myself personally to want to pay out £800 ( since I would also need a disc drive) to have a console that runs PS4 or PS5 games at their highest quality, since they are just clearer looking versions of PS4 games essentially..
This should have been what we got instead of the base PlayStation 5 but at a far more reasonable price because I definitely feel that the PS5 came out way too soon to retail. With how long the PS4 has been supported and the fact that hardly anything released over the last few years looks anything better than what the PS4 was able to do, there easily could have been at least 3 more years before the PS5 was released. Learned my lesson though, I won’t buy a new console now until the PS6 Pro.. maybe that will allow me to play PS5 games at 4K 60fps..
I guess thanks to the fact that PlayStation is smashing the sales numbers compared to Xbox, it’s inevitable that the sales numbers were going to be as high as usual. I ain’t a COD fan, but I know a lot of friends that are and they are ‘business as usual’ when it comes to where they are playing the game. I asked one of them if she would continue to play on PlayStation or would the Gamepass release entice her to move over to Xbox. She literally plays nothing else but COD. Never crossed her mind, so as long as the game is available on PlayStation consoles, it’s going to keep selling massive numbers each year.
@Balaam_ Thats a shame that you didn’t get to Destiny 2 because of that bud, I myself was sceptical about the No Death trophy on the first game too, but honestly, finding literal random people on Destiny that became good friends to this day and completing all the Raids without deaths made for incredible gaming memories. And when Bungie released Crotas End, more and more people were able to complete the trophies as that Raid was way easier than Vault of Glass!
I was worried that some of the Trophy names would be tampered with, but really pleased that they are all intact! A small thing, but definitely welcome to see!! 😅
I wonder if these ‘insiders’ actually have real life activities to do instead of spread false info whenever the time is right for them? One day it’s being mentioned everything is on hold and then the next, the main man at Microsoft is out inadvertently refuting rumours. I guess it does do one thing though, Satyas statement helps to dispel rumours as quickly as they appear and helps to reduce info that encroaches on their obvious move over to being a 3rd party developer. Personally there isn’t too much over at Microsoft that I would be desperate to play on PlayStation. I’m not really a Halo fan, I played enough of Gears of War back in the day, but I certainly do like the Forza Horizon games (especially 4). Apart from that and the already released Sea of Thieves, everything that is genuinely exclusive to Xbox or always has been is not really my kind of gaming anymore.
If Saber like to read players comments then they should have been aware of all the positivity surrounding the title at launch and left it mostly how it released. I don’t get why Nerfing a game is good for a player base in the first place..
@Whately86 No. What it is that throws me is I play my games to the platinum, move on to another game and then I find having to come back when a DLC gets released has me relearning games. I want to keep my account as close to 100% as possible, so I’m compelled to go back. This usually happens on games I can’t wait to play. However with a big backlog, I have been playing games that all the DLCs have been released so once I am done with a game then I can move on to a new game without worrying that there will be an incomplete list down the line! 😅
I am more than happy for Spiderman 2 to miss out on DLC. I am a bit of a trophy hunter and like to get my games to 100% and I don’t really like when games get DLC that gets me back to a game. Don’t get me wrong, post release content is a good way to extract the longevity out of a title, but with the backlog of games I have building up and the fact I like to move onto new game after I have finished something, it’s good to hear a developer moving on to its next thing with some clarity!
If this doesn’t give Blooper Team a chance to remake the very first game then I don’t know what else will! I have a friend who is incredible cynical when it comes to remakes and he was not holding out any kind of success for this remake at all. Spoke to him yesterday and he said it was probably his favourite remake that has been done yet, so it must be fantastic!! 😂
@Markatron84 I only bought into Sea of Thieves when it was released on PlayStation 5, so I am not really in a position to comment about the combat aspects of the game from anytime beforehand, but the combat experience me and my group had when the game first arrived was very enjoyable. We actively searched for Reaper ships to attack as we knew that we had more of a chance of winning than losing. It became my most played game of the year until the updates I mentioned. If I had gone into Sea of Thieves as a new player today, I would 100% agree with you, but when the game launched, I and the guys and gal I play with thought combat was fantastic! Of course, this is simply my own opinion and you are more than entitled to your own. 🙏🏻
It’s just a shame that live service titles allow for this to happen in the first place. Although I haven’t personally played this, talking to friends about it, the game released in pretty good shape and was a huge amount of fun and just got tampered with too much. Although a completely different game, Sea of Thieves is going through the same thing. It launched on PS5 in fantastic shape and was a huge amount of fun to play, but after the last few patches in particular, combat wise it’s now no fun at all. The good thing about Arrowhead is that they are willing to listen to the fans, but Rare it feels just don’t give a ***** at all!!
I am playing Sea of Thieves with my friends! Even though Rare seem to be doing everything they can to completely destroy the game and everything that was fun about it, we are all Trophy hunters, so we are in it for the long haul
I saw a video on YouTube which used AI to update all the characters in Concord and the results were awesome. Doing something like that may have done something for the game, but I highly doubt that anyone will be able to convince some of the devs that their character models were plain and simply a load of Crap. I think Sony would be absolutely insane to let Firewalk anywhere near another game and if this game indeed goes Free to Play, that in itself is going to make zero difference. It’s been tarnished now, no going back. Just pull the plug and move on.

This is just the weirdest generation for sure. I remember when I came from PS3 and saw Destiny for the first time on the PS4, I was blown away! When God of War made it to PS4, again I was amazed at the quality. I just haven’t seen a game on PS5 that couldn’t have been done on the PS4 yet. Granted, it’s great to see a console get a game running at 60fps and 4K, but the actual look of the games aren’t really anything more than what has been seen for the last 10 years or so. If a game came out on the PS5 Pro that runs at 30fps because it is such a graphical monster, that would actually be good (and probably GTA6), but right now there isn’t really a reason for myself personally to want to pay out £800 ( since I would also need a disc drive) to have a console that runs PS4 or PS5 games at their highest quality, since they are just clearer looking versions of PS4 games essentially..
Re: PS5 Pro was a '5-Year Project', In Development Before PS5's Launch
This should have been what we got instead of the base PlayStation 5 but at a far more reasonable price because I definitely feel that the PS5 came out way too soon to retail. With how long the PS4 has been supported and the fact that hardly anything released over the last few years looks anything better than what the PS4 was able to do, there easily could have been at least 3 more years before the PS5 was released. Learned my lesson though, I won’t buy a new console now until the PS6 Pro.. maybe that will allow me to play PS5 games at 4K 60fps..
Re: UK Sales Charts: Call of Duty Remains Steady on PS5, PS4 Despite Black Ops 6's Xbox Game Pass Inclusion
I guess thanks to the fact that PlayStation is smashing the sales numbers compared to Xbox, it’s inevitable that the sales numbers were going to be as high as usual. I ain’t a COD fan, but I know a lot of friends that are and they are ‘business as usual’ when it comes to where they are playing the game. I asked one of them if she would continue to play on PlayStation or would the Gamepass release entice her to move over to Xbox. She literally plays nothing else but COD. Never crossed her mind, so as long as the game is available on PlayStation consoles, it’s going to keep selling massive numbers each year.
Re: Bungie Provides Lengthy Development Update on PS5 Extraction Shooter, Marathon
@Balaam_ Thats a shame that you didn’t get to Destiny 2 because of that bud, I myself was sceptical about the No Death trophy on the first game too, but honestly, finding literal random people on Destiny that became good friends to this day and completing all the Raids without deaths made for incredible gaming memories. And when Bungie released Crotas End, more and more people were able to complete the trophies as that Raid was way easier than Vault of Glass!

I was worried that some of the Trophy names would be tampered with, but really pleased that they are all intact! A small thing, but definitely welcome to see!! 😅
Re: Microsoft CEO Says More Xbox Games Will Come to PS5, Hours After Rumours Said Porting Project Was Paused
I wonder if these ‘insiders’ actually have real life activities to do instead of spread false info whenever the time is right for them? One day it’s being mentioned everything is on hold and then the next, the main man at Microsoft is out inadvertently refuting rumours. I guess it does do one thing though, Satyas statement helps to dispel rumours as quickly as they appear and helps to reduce info that encroaches on their obvious move over to being a 3rd party developer. Personally there isn’t too much over at Microsoft that I would be desperate to play on PlayStation. I’m not really a Halo fan, I played enough of Gears of War back in the day, but I certainly do like the Forza Horizon games (especially 4). Apart from that and the already released Sea of Thieves, everything that is genuinely exclusive to Xbox or always has been is not really my kind of gaming anymore.
Re: Saber Responds to Space Marine 2 Review Bombing, Promises to Patch Contentious Patch
If Saber like to read players comments then they should have been aware of all the positivity surrounding the title at launch and left it mostly how it released. I don’t get why Nerfing a game is good for a player base in the first place..
Re: Some Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Fans Are Furious It's Not Getting DLC
@Whately86 No. What it is that throws me is I play my games to the platinum, move on to another game and then I find having to come back when a DLC gets released has me relearning games. I want to keep my account as close to 100% as possible, so I’m compelled to go back. This usually happens on games I can’t wait to play. However with a big backlog, I have been playing games that all the DLCs have been released so once I am done with a game then I can move on to a new game without worrying that there will be an incomplete list down the line! 😅
Re: Some Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Fans Are Furious It's Not Getting DLC
I am more than happy for Spiderman 2 to miss out on DLC. I am a bit of a trophy hunter and like to get my games to 100% and I don’t really like when games get DLC that gets me back to a game. Don’t get me wrong, post release content is a good way to extract the longevity out of a title, but with the backlog of games I have building up and the fact I like to move onto new game after I have finished something, it’s good to hear a developer moving on to its next thing with some clarity!
Re: Sublime PS5, PC Remake Silent Hill 2 Tops One Million Sales
If this doesn’t give Blooper Team a chance to remake the very first game then I don’t know what else will! I have a friend who is incredible cynical when it comes to remakes and he was not holding out any kind of success for this remake at all. Spoke to him yesterday and he said it was probably his favourite remake that has been done yet, so it must be fantastic!! 😂
Re: Helldivers 2 Concludes 60-Day Overhaul Plan with Latest Balance Update on PS5, PC
@Markatron84 I only bought into Sea of Thieves when it was released on PlayStation 5, so I am not really in a position to comment about the combat aspects of the game from anytime beforehand, but the combat experience me and my group had when the game first arrived was very enjoyable. We actively searched for Reaper ships to attack as we knew that we had more of a chance of winning than losing. It became my most played game of the year until the updates I mentioned. If I had gone into Sea of Thieves as a new player today, I would 100% agree with you, but when the game launched, I and the guys and gal I play with thought combat was fantastic! Of course, this is simply my own opinion and you are more than entitled to your own. 🙏🏻
Re: Helldivers 2 Concludes 60-Day Overhaul Plan with Latest Balance Update on PS5, PC
It’s just a shame that live service titles allow for this to happen in the first place. Although I haven’t personally played this, talking to friends about it, the game released in pretty good shape and was a huge amount of fun and just got tampered with too much. Although a completely different game, Sea of Thieves is going through the same thing. It launched on PS5 in fantastic shape and was a huge amount of fun to play, but after the last few patches in particular, combat wise it’s now no fun at all. The good thing about Arrowhead is that they are willing to listen to the fans, but Rare it feels just don’t give a ***** at all!!
Re: PS5 May Soon Be Unchallenged by Xbox in Some Regions
To be fair, PS5 is unchallenged in most areas that Microsoft sells Xbox aswell anyway. 😅
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 550
I am playing Sea of Thieves with my friends! Even though Rare seem to be doing everything they can to completely destroy the game and everything that was fun about it, we are all Trophy hunters, so we are in it for the long haul
Re: Concord Devs Tinker with PC Files, Spurring Free-to-Play Speculation
I saw a video on YouTube which used AI to update all the characters in Concord and the results were awesome. Doing something like that may have done something for the game, but I highly doubt that anyone will be able to convince some of the devs that their character models were plain and simply a load of Crap. I think Sony would be absolutely insane to let Firewalk anywhere near another game and if this game indeed goes Free to Play, that in itself is going to make zero difference. It’s been tarnished now, no going back. Just pull the plug and move on.
