2028 at a bare minimum. A PS6 launch will only distract from fulfilling this generations potential, there is zero need for a next gen console particularly when there’s barely a handful of games that even stretch the PS5 Pro. It’s not championing standing still, it’s sticking up for this generation and wanting to walk before we can run.

@UltimateOtaku91 baffling that the higher ups are ok with this. A guaranteed way to make less money. It had me going from a day one buy to wait and see

This was always on the cards since before launch - and although LCD screens have come on since 2017 - the Nintendo Switch OLED upgrade was like night & day. Wouldn't pay money for LCD nowadays. Might finally pull the trigger around Christmas if it's out by then.

He's right - exactly how it would work is another thing but there's no end to "such and such has been review bombed for x reason". Also the internet is full of terrible reviewers who never include sound design and soundtrack in their essays, it would help to sort the lazy from the good.

Deservedly so. Always thought Elden Ring’s were a bit bloated. Although I did expect Uncharted 4 to have way more than it got as well.

For those who come after.

Amazing. I was worried they’d go down a contrarian route. Cosplay-y, yes, but that’s essentially what an adaptation is. The butler is a great actor as well, hope he gets locked in the freezer!

I had a bit of cautious and nervous optimism about this, but it’s such a great choice, Hirst is fantastic. The decision to set it in the 2918 games was probably the easiest decision to make, the original games were pretty bad and cheesy as a setting. Hope they nail the rest of the casting, can wait to see who plays the severed head!

I remember the android in the main menu screen getting progressively more and more disturbed and “forcing it” the further along the game you were. Eerie, and creepy as hell. Fantastic game.

I never understood the huge amounts of trashing of True Colours and Double Exposure, as if the first one was some Naughty Dog level of high art. The first one is still one of my top ten games of all time (and Before the Storm and 2 were kind of more of the same but more boring) but part of its charm was that for all the great music, setting and story... it's a bit naff. Clunky dialogue, clunky movement, just a bit naff but endearing. TC and DE were literally more of the same but with a much better story than BTS or 2. I'm sure this will be good as well.

But it's the WRONG £1500! Jokes aside, you can't really argue with the price you pay and what you get in return. Plus, it made me play games and even genres of games that I now love that I wouldn't have looked twice at previously.

Just in time for my annual Christmastime re-download, nice!

Rise of the Tomb Raider was easily the best TR game of all time by some distance, if they can recapture that then I’m sold.

Edith Finch isn’t just a 10/10, it’s one of the greatest pieces of art across any medium.

I’d have added Clair Exp 33 and FF7 Rebirth - not just the best Final Fantasy game but the greatest rpg of all time.

Great list! Half of them not my cup of tea but you can’t deny them.

The best thing about things/news like this are the comments sections - internet people famously take things in their stride in a calm and reasonable manner. Never fails to disappoint. Amazing stuff 🤣

Predictable but understandable. I’ve never known a massive release to not have delays even after announcements.

@PerpetualBoredom yes! The soundtrack to 3 and Tag Tournament are the series’ standouts by a mile.

If Sony can make decent, built to last a few years at least controllers and their own headsets that actually work, they’ll be on to something. GTA 6 - PS6 edition will be the big selling point for a while.

That’s a shame, I would’ve loved it. As much as I want part 3, I’m in no rush and love spending time in the remake trilogy world.

Shame. This was a really good live show and for not a lot of money as well. The marketing killed it. Reddit, YouTube, TikTok posts of it are full of comments like “if I’d have known it was in my city I would’ve gone” etc etc. I only found out by chance.

Ah, yes. Ratchet famously crying about the death of Clank and torturing Dr Nefarious unceremoniously until he feels better.

The author was famously a Xbox One fan and losing the war still stings.

Would love to have a proper look at these but the well documented PlayStation Link atrocities have damaged my trust in their audio products. Great sounding when they work but ultimately, rock solid connectivity needs to be your biggest concern when making these things for such a big price tag.

Good news for Uncharted fans!

No word on the sound design or soundtrack? Sound design of MGSV was incredible, particularly during those moments where you’re surrounded in a camp but still undiscovered and have a minute to quickly make a plan B!

Yeah I hate it when companies tie your hands behind your back and force you at gunpoint to buy things…the horror.

This looks great, already got a pre-pre order in with my local Forbidden Planet.

And well deserved. Both the second seasons of TLOU and Severance are some of the best tv I’ve seen for yonks.

What is that leaker guys track record like, anyone?

I don’t even want to imagine the time sink the platinum trophy will cost! I still sometimes get Vietnam flashbacks under the table thinking about real life things I put off to get a SILVER trophy in Adventure Capitalist

To be fair it makes zero sense to put the end scene in series 3 or 4, years and years away. Watching it in a room full of people who don’t know the story, it’s safe to say they stuck the landing on this one.

Wind’s howling.

I was at the Manchester gig and it was genuinely fully amazing. I didn’t expect that Bloodborne track in the first act so that was a great surprise. I don’t think anybody expected a full orchestra when you think how cheap the tickets were. Great night.

100% 2027. They’ve said they’ve known since before Rebirth was released that the third wouldn’t have to be as long a wait, and they’re not missing the 30th with it.

One of the best hours of TV I’ve ever seen. I never knew my lungs could cope with not actually breathing for so long! I wasn’t too sure about the change at first with Tommy staying in Jackson, but it worked out even better than the game I think. Nice little callback with the original Ellie singing that song at the end as well. Abby, Ellie, Joel, Jesse, every single actor nailed it.

@LifeGirl it won’t be the last episode. We know certain scenes that are coming and they needs minimum three eps to set up. Next two eps. Him being killed off won’t affect it at all. Plenty of scenes with him to come even after the event.

Both Remake and Rebirth are top 5 FFs. The fact that they’re both soft sequels to the original (they haven’t changed the original, it still happened) is nothing short of genius. Hard to see how they’ll come close to topping them for the final part but interesting to see how it will play out.

Also - considering the parent company I’m surprised m/impressed this article was even allowed to be published! Unless you’re about to quit Sammy and wanna burn it down on your way out 🤣

To be fair, the online expansion pass gets you the upgrades for free - something PS Plus Premium is scared to go anywhere near. That Zelda app seems fantastic - RDR2 had a similar thing that moved in real time with you until Rockstar abandoned it.

With this new version can you “walk forwards” smoothly or is it still teleporting?

Joel was right but so was Abby. Joel is very much the villain and deserved what happened to him.

It’s an all time top five FF title. Easily.

It’ll feel genuinely nice and sad to revisit all these places again, I played this loads during lockdown with mates and it was such a weird time. Looking forward to getting shotgunned by someone breaching under the stadium again!

I still can’t quite wrap my head around just how good the first series was, after 30 odd years of middling to bad to baaaaad game adaptations. Somehow this looks a step even above series1

@Hundred_Hand_Slap Deathinitive 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I pay monthly, same day every month, where or when do I see these free days? I’m not bothered either way but it would be cool to know how it works.

Jesus Christ who’s in charge of Sony’s PR? Myra Hindley??

Picked some up for half price in the Black Friday sale, and it’s at the new state of the art Co-op Live as well, looking forward to this!

I’ve had two Pulse Elite headsets, one couldn’t keep a connection despite trying every fix known to man, and the replacement was even worse. It’s a shame because they’re comfortable and sound genuinely great. Scam of a product from Sony and a huge black mark against them for pushing a known defective product.

They’re largely pointless on the PS5.

Considering Rebirth was the best FF and arguably the greatest jrpg of all time, and THAT cliffhanger, they haven’t half put themselves under pressure to keep the momentum going. Fingers crossed they nail it for the third time in a row.

Just adding to all the other positive noise around Sayonara Wild Hearts. Great little game and wicked soundtrack, ended up being one of my most played albums of the last few years on Spotify

@Darude84 the sound is miles better than the normal pulse, and so is the mic, and so is the battery.

But

The very well documented connection issues with the Pulse Elite are so bad I can only recommend you to hard avoid them. Search the many YouTube, Reddit etc etc posts about it. I had two different headsets and sent them both back. You might get lucky with yours if you get them but I can’t stress using anything else enough
