Playing RE4 remake in VR which is pretty fantastic, eclipsing RE7 VR1 for me whilst it isn’t as scary it is consistent in its quality.
Anyway just completed the second run which was knife and pistol only which was really good fun in VR, dual wielding works great.
Now onto a Pro rocket launcher run.

Oops, yes 9£ or 10 bucks/euros.

@GameOfTheGeneration
It is a £8 or 9 dollars/euros upgrade.

@Medic_alert
Have you tried using the toggle grip hybrid option in the Village settings? I had to use that because I too was dropping the gun all the time.

Shame it doesnt include a remaster (just a port would do) of Rush of blood, then I would have seen some value in this remake.
But hey I'm sure there is an audience somewhere and I hope they enjoy it as it is a good game....just be sure that nobody makes it out alive.

Just finishing up Thief, not bad but certainly not great either although I guess we have to take what we are given in the stealth genre.
Also watched For a few dollars more so itching to replay RDR2 but I will have to resist as my backlog is crazy.
Up next is RE village in VR and probably puzzling places to calm down.

@colonelkilgore I quite enjoyed Dead Space 3, played it in coop, there are coop trophies.

Great to see people mention Hitman PSVR2, that was also my standout from the show and I jumped up in delight when that was shown.
Midnight Walk was also a standout, I really enjoyed Lost in Random so I expect Midnight walk will be great with bags of charm.
Metro looked great as well although it wasn't a surprise and I'm trying to avoid seeing too much footage.

Ghost of Y was the obvious flat highlight.

And Hitman PSVR2, the show was worth it for that.
£9 or 10 buckaroos.
Out in December and trust me to have just plugged in my PSVR1 and started it this last week.

Hermen pops up at the end and says "One last thing, we've heard all the shouts about the price of the Pro so we have decided to include the stand."
The crowd goes wild.

That aside, fingers crossed for RE9 with VR2 support. I do expect lots of "built from the ground up" BS for the unnecessary remasters of Horizon and Days Gone.

Apparently Hermen has arranged a landfill site already, an undisclosed location possibly in New Mexico.
Let the hunt begin.

@colonelkilgore
And to think that Sony would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids (Passi and IGN).

Disney to Uncle Phil...

"You have chosen, poorly"

@Yousef-
Indeed.
Have you seen pictures of Mr Dogg at the Olympics?
Looking proper dapper in his equestrian outfit.

First of all, as Snoop Dogg would say "who?"
Second, you are more likely to get a Concord / Bloodborne crossover before a PS5 port.
Actually that might be kind of cool.

@colonelkilgore
Slightly off topic but gamescom related, apparently Atomfall (Rebellion) will have (to quote Xbox) hands on experiences.

I quite like frog games although I'm not very good at them, I manage the road bit okay but normally a turtle submerges whilst I'm waiting for a log.

Anyway based on that picture, it is official, Sony have lost the plot.

Sony will be praying that it is a gaas giant rather than the black hole that Concord is forecast to be.

Microsoft, sorry Xbox needs to buy up some media companies just so they can compete.

@naruball
Also bought Towers n Powers with 90% at £1.39.
It is a VR tower defence game similar to PixelJunk Monsters.

Bought Stilt (VR2) which at £1.59 has a massive (word of the day) 90% off, Shirley a misprice.

Great to see Astro bot at the top of the charts*

*PSVR1 NA chart.

Dying light is the standout deal for me.
Great game for just a couple of quid.

Bonkers.
Where are the titles that would actually be worth remastering such as Splinter Cell Blacklist (released just months before the new gen and crazily never ported) or Rainbow Six Vegas ?!

Ubisoft have lost the plot.

@colonelkilgore
Cheers dude but I've already played this flat so unlikely to buy again, it is a good game though.

Nice. I held off buying this until a VR edition was announced.
Along with this announcement last night at the UploadVr show, a game called Cold VR was also announced. It is a Super hot clone which normally would be a bit off but this is fine as seeing that Superhot doesn't seem to be coming to psvr2.

And as Kidfunk says where is power wash? I suspect that is locked up in some exclusive deal but I'm waiting for that.

The writing was on the wall when they introduced the product with a Blog post, everything since then has been half arsed.
Thankfully third party seems to be carrying the product pretty well.
A shame overall and people at Sony involved with this should be ashamed.

@WaveBoy
Hitman is only on VR1, which I've put away. I am using VR2 though and really enjoy it, just finished Switchback (Shirley Sony would have the intelligence to remaster Rush of blood for when the new Until Dawn comes out .... or perhaps).
Also playing Vertigo 2, GT7, Puzzling Places. Yet to start the Resident evils. I totally understand the frustration with Sony and they are doing their best to convince me to go PC next gen but I'm trying to forget that and enjoy VR2 for what the 3rd party are bringing to the table.

@WaveBoy
I've packed my away but tempted at the moment to buy Hitman and drag it out of storage just for that.

@colonelkilgore
One of the locales has a very bleak feel, clearly based on a location not a million miles away from here (I won't spoil it because it is quite stunning). Perhaps more of a winter game because of that one location but hey sometimes you need to that something to get away from the current heatwave (joke, for us at least).

@colonelkilgore
I quite liked DA:I and would think that it still holds up quite well today although it is nearly a decade since I completed it.
PS not as difficult as the guides would suggest, imo, although not a cake walk either.

@Shepherd_Tallon
Dragon Age looked far better in gameplay whilst the trailer looked awful, however the jury is still out as I'm not Bioware as we know and love even exists anymore. We shall see.
Also not a fan of all this purple / magenta in games, obviously someone has carried out aesthetic studies but it is getting quite boring now.

Behemoth for me. Great to finally see some gameplay and it was far better than I expected. Plus lots of post SoP roundups with various youtubers and the odd media outlet (Eurogamer).
Aliens looked good as well, fingers crossed for that one.

Sad to hear as I quite like JC and Mad Max was very good despite what George Miller might think.
I also recently completed Generation Zero which I enjoyed despite the negative reviews. They have supported that game pretty well with a patch for 60fps when played on ps5 (it is still a PS4 build). The game is on PS Extra is anyone wishes to give it a go.

The problem is that the longer Sony take between communications the higher the expectations are, you only have to read the PushSq staff editorial before the "show" to see how rampant the expectations were.

And the less said about opening with a ten minute cgi for a (on the face of it) bog standard arena shooter the better.

I think Hermen will go down as the worst CEO of Sony, the company seems to lack direction and focus (except for that moolah). Hyperbole at the moment most definitely but time will tell.

@colonelkilgore It is interesting to me how many people including yourself are still playing PS3 games, it really was the best generation. Now we have the opposite, the best hardware but the worst games.
Sony gimme that PS3 emulator.

Looks great and far better than what I envisaged which is a rare thing to say these days about games.
I do think that the scope of this project perhaps ballooned which explains the quite lengthy delay it received last year, but I think we will all be thankful for that.
Highlight of the show for me.

Much as it pains me to say but I won't be buying this without VR2 support, I know I will be missing out but so be it.
Perhaps if it is ported to PC then I can play it in VR, with mods.

Sad but good to see VR2 supporting comments on the Blog, shame Sony don't read them.

Behemoth looks great, as does Alien although we need a bit more gameplay on that.
Absolutely pathetic that Astro isn't a hybrid especially as the gameplay looked basically like Rescue Mission, thankfully many people seem to be voicing their opinion on the Blog, just a shame Sony doesn't read it. Perhaps if it comes to PC then people can mod it. I did say in a previous comment that the announcement of the PC adapter was the death knell, well this announcement is them taking a whiz on the grave.

As for the rest of the show, not too bad although ten minutes of Concord cgi wasnt necessary, they could have just say "Now imagine viewers another Overwatch clone"

Isn't it normally the PushSquare staff that tell US to keep our hype levels in check?!

@Shepherd_Tallon Yeah I think there is a high probability of Behemoth being shown.
Hopefully Sony put some effort in the VR content shown.

@colonelkilgore No this is the rub, assuming you are on Essentials then you will get 30% off the next two or three months. If you are already on Extra then you can get 25% off the next 12 months, so the best way for you would be to do the 30% upgrade and then in the same offer week do a 25% extension.
I think that is right at least and at this point Sony are really encouraging people to just let their subs expire. My Extra is up in September so I could get 25% off the year but I'm so disappointed in Sony these days that I'm tempted to let it expire and see what Balck Friday / Xmas brings.

They have locked the VR2 titles to Premium members only which strikes me as a little dirty. I won't be upgrading.

X Gon' give it to ya.

@jorel262 Perp games who also specialise in more niche titles (for example they are doing quite a few psvr2 ones ATM) produce standard edition versions which commonly include a booklet. I recently purchased Vertigo 2 for psvr2 and was surprised it contain a neat booklet showcasing the enemies of the game. These little touches are much appreciated.

@Jacko11 Not to mention that they were also accursed of selling CD-R discs in a recent limited printrun.

Probably trying to decide whether to go PC or PS5.

@thefourfoldroot1 Nice deal. I see Ultrawings 2 and Ancient dungeon are on sale, I think for the first time. Both 25% off at £11.99

@Ralizah Persona kart racing actually sounds pretty good.
I could play Morgana, shouting "I'm not a cat" whilst flicking Joker the bird as I shunt him off the track.
Happy days.

I can't help but feel like this is a precursor to Gamepass being wound down, remember that comment from obsidian "if it wasn't for Gamepass then this game wouldn't have been made"
I think hifi rush falls into the same category that Pentiment does, small/short low budget games.
We shall see and honestly nothing would surprise me at this point.

One of the Devs (a couple of brothers company I think) was on PS Access podcast last week.
Quite the retro fan.

@colonelkilgore
I don't know what Xbox has done to garner such good faith from gamers because most of us knew this would sort of action was quite likely.
It does make those developers who signed that letter recommending the ABK aquisition (yes I know this is Bethesda, but still) look pretty stupid imo

Can't wait to see Destin's spin on it.
I hope the developers affected land on their feet and even bigger studios sprout from the ashes. Especially sad for Arkane as Prey was a favourite of mine.
