Personally, my favorite racing game for PS has been Horizon Chase Turbo. Reminds me of a game I used to play on C64 called The Great American Cross Country Road Race. Wish someone would bring that one back. That said, this looks solid.
This is a non-article. Christopher McQuarrie, the MI director, publicly admitted that Uncharted was a huge influence on the series and whole scenes were lifted from the games.
First game was pretty bad, with clunky gameplay and awful combat. Not sure why everyone thinks it's one of the best games ever. Great idea, terrible execution. However, this one looks pretty great. Maybe a sale? Really bummed that we still don't have freaking GAME FOLDERS so I can have 2 follow 1 once I purchase it. Come on, Sony!
I would love it if someone made a game like this but it was a total bait n switch, where for the first 30 or 40 minutes one is actually playing a gardening simulator and droning along doing meditative things, with a radio playing softly in the background. But then the radio becomes more insistent and you start to hear things about an 'outbreak' and then these creatures start shambling toward your house and it becomes an FPS/survival horror story.
Incredibly glad I canceled the premium and just went down to the base tier. Most of the games I’d already purchased were available for ‘free’ on premium, which made me feel like I’d wasted hundreds of dollars buying them years ago, plus I hate having time limits on how long I can play games (the expiration date/when they are removed from premium). Don’t want or need that pressure.
I’m wondering how San Diego Studio will handle their version of Blernsball and when it’ll come out, considering what a joke Manfred is turning baseball into.
Passing on 23. 22 was fine but the commentary was abysmal and RTTS really sucked. They need to use a different engine and overhaul all animations and play from the ground up, plus add season mode and year to year saves back. But most people will keep buying it every year and fool SDS into thinking they’re doing a great job.
Fell asleep halfway through the second episode, no desire to go back. Hated all the characters. Don’t really get the hype. Love the game and have played through three times.
Honestly I got bored with the game. I had it on PS4 and lived with the ridiculous bugs for awhile, then got a refund. Purchased it at 50% for PS5 and played it for a little while but just lost interest. It's a game I really should like and be playing more, but it never draws me back in.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 488
PGA 2k23. It's nothing special but as golf games go for the PS5, I'll take it. It's sort of mindless and meditative.
