Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?

My family had like twenty of them for the nightclub we own. New games got sent every week by PlayStation’s PR side. It was crazy, would go in during the summer daytime and play F1 or Wip3out and whatever they decided to send in. PlayStation absolutely hit the bullseye with getting the console out to the youth back then as nightclubs were very much on the ascendancy of uk youth culture. We did a promotion for Microsoft a few years after when they released the first Xbox and no one touched the unit on the evenings so we sent it back

Re: 'We'll Continue to Evolve the PS Store': Sony on Making PS5, PS4 Shopping Better

They can start by getting rid of the deceptive “…..” option box which shows the base price and the options to download the demo. I get wound up each time I see a game being sold for £99 on the store knowing other customers won’t see the other prices or where the demo version is. They know what they’re doing with this system and it’s incredibly anti consumer.

Re: Rumour: Battlefield 6 Out in October for PS5, Competes with Call of Duty

Memories of the beta and how horrid it was. Far too many players on each map, vehicles driving up the side of the big space rocket building, spawn points being abused, that tunnel that goes underneath the runway where everyone camped at the entrance on either side would just throw grenades down the stairs and get easy double kills and more. Absolute worst thing I’ve ever played in beta form. It was so bad and they continued with releasing it on launch date

Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?

BusyOlf

I liked it to a point but the more I think about the game now I can’t help but feel it was a pretty weak open world experience. Sure, it was beautiful and the sword play and stealth mechanics were great but I can’t help feel it was no better than a AC game from the past in which you were having to explore the whole map and doing similar side quests. It’s something SuckerPunch have really been quite disappointing in that they haven’t really improved their open world side quests.

Re: Resident Evil Requiem Revealed, Out on 27th February 2026

I don’t think Alyssa will be the main protagonist, her design seemed less detailed compared to the main characters like Leon or Claire in previous games. DuskGolem is saying Leon is the main protagonist in Requiem and well there has been talk a year ago of the game being in a play test phase involving playing as Leon and Jill in two separate areas of the world. Why would they bring back Jill for Death Island only to leave her out in this when RE8 basically lead and hinted to the team taking on a now corrupted BSAA? There’s clearly going to be storyline involving Chris to and how the BSAA was now using bio soldiers otherwise we’re going to have one very fragile plot to work from. Claire and Rebecca not being involved would be very disappointing . The upcoming trailers are exciting me

Name reminds me of that early sketch Limmy did where he would phone up his mates house and ask to speak to their daughter and then would then shout in a devilish voice “requiem” down the phone at her. He would do it over and over again over time . This games a nod to Limmy, imho

Re: Resident Evil 9 PS5 Reveal This Week, It's Claimed

BusyOlf

No, you’re not going to get me this time rumour trolls. I got suckered into the whole play tests rumour that Jill and Leon are main protagonist and Jill’s has to go through a hospital in Siberia or some place inhospitable. No, I’m not revving the hype train up this time round!

Re: Poll: Are You Playing DOOM: The Dark Ages?

BusyOlf

Eternal pretty much distinguished any interest in modern day Doom games for me. I loved the 2016 one, it was perfectly in keeping with the original Doom but they’ve seemed to have pushed the series into a superhero story where he lives in a ManCave looking over Earth. They’ve never really gotten anything going with the online mode
