Had some giftcards that were about to expire and bought a portal for my youngest son last week. Its a gift for Easter and his birthday. Lets hope the plus prices dont go up.
Same here. The driving itself is good. I find the rest pretty meh. Graphics are on ps4 level. Music is bad, I turn it off. Carsound is pretty weird. Other cars sound like they are just behind me when they are 15 seconds behind. Three more races and Im done. I think this studio has the talent but lacks the money to make the game they want.
I could be wrong but Japan has always been crazy about portable consoles. Also the PS5 is a juggernaut of a console and most Japanese families have pretty small houses compared to houses in the west.
Switch 2 on release was 500€. Its gone up by 20€ in my country. PS5 with disc drive was 500€( not sure its been a while since it released). Prices are rising and I think most people dont want to upgrade their kids consoles because of the sad state of the world today.
Enjoy your Pro. Im thinking about getting one as my youngest took over my ps5. He finished SM2 today and I had to install SM Remasterd. So no gaming for me today.
Ive finished PoP and Ultros and Im in for some more metroidvania's. I will get it but I will play the games Ive installed first. Those games are RE8, SM2 and that Scottish oil rig game. By then it will be in a sale I guess.
Playing Spiderman 2 now and its a drag. Dont know its me or the game. Im getting tired of doing the same things over and over again. Just finished Ultros last week and I had more fun with that game than I have with Spiderman 2.

Not kidding, as a young gamer in the 80's this was my haircut. Turned out medieval girls were first.
Re: Sony's PS5, PC Fighter Will Generate Squad Names Depending on Which Marvel Heroes You Assemble

Re: PS5 Players Will Definitely Want to Tune into Xbox's Partner Preview Later This Week
A release date for Road Kings would be great. The runners series is one of my favorites
Re: PSN Down as PS5, PS4 Players Report Offline Issues
@tselliot
Was about to say the same. No games for the infidels!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 625
I have to do 12 more races in Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown and then I'm done with this game. Test Drive Unlimited on Xbox360 was way better.
Warhammer 2. Played the first two levels and it's great. I'll continue this tomorrow.
Have a great weekend!

Oi, thats a name I have not heard in a long time.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 624
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown. Racing is okay in this game. Graphics, music and the characters are pretty meh.
Started Dead Cells but got not really into it. Dont know if I'll continue.
Hollow Knight. Started this after Dead Cells and I like this one a lot better. I am at the triple queen boss or whatever its called.
Its also carnival in my hometown so tomorrow I'll have a look and a couple of beers.
Have a great weekend!
Re: That Awesome PS5 Marvel Compilation Is Just Days Away

Re: Going Platinum #14: Concrete Genie
Lovely game. Platted it too. A shame Sony doesnt make games like this anymore.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 622
Platted Spiderman 2 yesterday. Beautiful game but Im getting tired of open world games.
I tried Marathon for an hour but its not a game for me.
Ill try some games this weekend, Dead Cells, RE Village, Silent Hill 2, Still wakes the deep and Test Drive USC and see what sticks.
Have a great weekend!
Re: 140K+ Players Slam Marathon Servers in Pre-Launch Test, and That's Just on PC
I'll try it tonight or tomorrow. I love the Bungie gameplay but the aesthetics put me off.

This is as oldschool as you can get!
Re: Mini Review: Tokyo Xtreme Racer (PS5) - Unapologetically Old School for Better and Worse
Is it as good as the dreamcast game? Any secret bosses?
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for March 2026 Announced
Its something, I guess.
Re: Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Release Date Announced

Playing Spiderman 2 now and its a drag. Dont know its me or the game. Im getting tired of doing the same things over and over again. Just finished Ultros last week and I had more fun with that game than I have with Spiderman 2.
Also who cares about meta scores?
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4 PS5 Has Assassin's Creed Content But No Online
Never played mgs4. I was on Xbox then. Ill probably buy it. Summer is always a slow time for game releases.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 620
Finished Kcd2 last week. One of the best games i have ever played.
Ill continue and finish Ultros this weekend.
Also starting Kcd ps5 version.
Also got 50 euros from my wife for Valentine. Im tempted to buy the new God of War game.
Have a great weekend!
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Hits PS5 Today, Free Upgrade for PS4 Owners

You will love this one too. Respect for this studio.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Hits PS5 Today, Free Upgrade for PS4 Owners
Finished KCD2 yesterday and what a ride it was! I'll pop in Kcd tomorrow and enjoy it in 60 fps. Also hail War Horse for the free upgrade!

Re: PS Plus Extra Games for February 2026 Leaked
Spiderman 2 coming to ps+ is fantastic.
I suppose Test Drive isnt as good as the two games on ps3. I loved the first one.
Re: God of War TV Series Has Found Its Atreus
I dont know the actor but can this boy handle a bow? Looks like he cant tie his shoes.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 619
Started Ultros yesterday and will continue it today.
Tomorrow more Kcd2 and I am going to see Ronker. Their new lp released last week and its fantastic.
Have a great weekend!
Re: Poll: What's Your Reaction to Horizon Hunters Gathering?
Look how they massacred my game!
Re: Rumour: Kingdom Come: Deliverance PS5 Version to Release Within a Week or So

Re: Fans Hope This Mysterious PS Store Listing Points to a PS Stars Replacement
I open my wallet for HLL:Vietnam and Road Kings. The rest can wait!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 618

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for February 2026 Announced
I will try Ultros because of the excellent Pop metroidvania. After I have finished KCD2.
