I'm alright Jack, I'll stick to physical media thank you very much.

Right, I'm off to play The Crew.

@colonelkilgore Yeah I didn't like the feeling of auto-popping when I did it to the extend that I don't do it anymore, it seems a bit pointless however some trophies are just nasty (e.g. Uncharted 4 speedrun) and in those cases I load a PS4 save after I have finished the other enjoyable trophies.....so yeah whatever I guess.

I was watching some gameplay of the new mode and I have to say that it looks more like something that was planned to be in the cancelled factions mode, perhaps a 4 player coop mode against AI like Uncharted 3 had (this is obviously SP though).

I will definitely play through this again at some point.

Further to my comment about NG+
I've just googled it and there is, on the PC version at least but I dare say it made it to the psvr2 version.

Good review and I'm glad it appears to be great especially after the recent albeit short delays.

@riceNpea I recall hearing on the PSVR without parole channel that there is replay value through the use of gameplay modifiers etc.. but I cannot remember if they mentioned NG+
Also I think they mentioned User Generated levels although I don't know whether that feature is still in early access (on PC) or whether that will even make its way to the PSVR2 version.

I'm sure all will be revealed in the coming days.
PS A physical version is also on the way if anyone is interested.

True if TLoU2 has VR support.
I will be buying the £10 upgrade but Why the hell they didn't take this opportunity to implement full or partial VR support is beyond me (same goes for Helldivers 2).

Happy New Year Push Square, don't go changing.
Hope everyone has a great gaming year.

Merry Christmas one and all.
Playing CTR and finally starting Yakuza like a dragon.

Not bad month. Hellsinger, Tinykin and Prodeus for me.
Might give Shadowrun a go.
Bit strange to have Moonscars and Salt & Sacrifice in the same month as they look fairly similar although I haven't played either so I could be wrong there. In fact Grime could also be added to this list and after watching a review I'm probably more inclined to play this one.

So only six months for Snowrunner, that's a bit poor imo.

It was a funny joke but when the camera panned to one of the audience members, the expression on his face I thought he was going to shout "Get my game's name out of your filthy mouth"

@colonelkilgore That was one of my picks as well, it looks so good.
My other two picks were Light no fire (VR essential though) and Exodus (can never have too many sci fi rpgs especially as Bioware is a shadow of their former self).

@Shepherd_Tallon
I think you are correct, I was looking forward to the RE4 VR stream and one minute it was due to be streamed at 14:30 GMT , then 15:00 and then cancelled.
I just tried to download the VR addon and it failed although I did manage to download the merc mode so perhaps it is just PS5 only content.

@thefourfoldroot1
Trophies are enabled for VR this time.

I did hope that PSVR2 would also attack the holidays.

@Splat I'm almost 100% sure there are trophies tied to this, Eurogamer just put out a video which shows a trophy popping that is not the PS4 trophy list for the base game. Obviously they might have changed the base game trophies so it is unknown whether it is a DLC trophy i.e. Downgrade some previous gold/silver trophies and add bronze ones for this mode however I don't think that would go down very well with people.

@colonelkilgore I do laugh at those daft Xbox tax comments, if anything there is a Sony tax because whenever I see a deal for an Xbox game the PS4/5 version is invariably more expensive.

@colonelkilgore Unfortunately there isn't a "Most loading screens" category. Perhaps you should tweet (X?) Geoff and see if there can be a surprise late admission.

As people have said, avoid this if purely after a VR experience.
Welcome to the digital release only future were games are sold on false promises and refunds are rarely possible.

Let's hope that Ace Combat 8 is announced soon and is a 100% VR / Flat (a hybrid if you will) experience.

@sorteddan I think Farmer Giles loans you his until you have the funds to buy your own, but they are quite Deere.
Also looking at the trophies as you do, there is one called "Fix me up again Aunt Sally"
It is for mowing down every Worzel in all the fields.

As someone who still uses PSVR1 this shutdown isn't good news.
Driveclub VR was also treated to a similar fate, only 3 1/2 years after release so it didn't fare quite as well as GT Sport. The platinum for Driveclub Vr is now no longer obtainable.

Doesn't bode well for this live service future but then I don't trust Sony keeping servers up, as I have said in the past.

Nice. Weird west has been on my radar since I heard it was developers by ex Arkane Devs.
Looking forward to CP as well.
Farm sim not so much....we sow the seed, nature grows the seed and then we eat the seed, repeat. Yeah, pass.

Tell me lies Phil, tell me sweet little lies.

@colonelkilgore Me too, TR1 had great atmosphere and the music is still haunting to this day.

No VR no buy
Dirt rally was brilliant in VR

Sad to see that this is Mimimi's last game.

Spooky

This looks great and peeps hands on have been encouraging so far. It reminds me that I must return to Sairento.

Also I see Vertigo 2 has a release date of 24/10
Looking good for psvr 2 over the next few months.

Less of a Portal and more of a Tin can telephone.

Nice to see Push Sq reviewing this as it seems to have been a little overlooked.
I have both Desperados and Shadow tactics on disc and there is no physical release for this so, for me at least...
CON: No physical release.
Will wait for a sale, sorry Mimimi.

Sledgehammer stated that you could stealth your way through levels then proceeds to show us gameplay of someone blasting through a level, for the most part.
Incredible deja vu with that trailer which is of course to be expected so it is a hard pass from me, been there done that, quite literally.

Bulletstorm VR or RE4 VR.

I did laugh at the trophies, for example "get 250 headshots in any game mode"

There is only one game mode.

Arh yes, a MSX Series 360.
Unfortunately no split screen for anyone.

I thought this was Elex 3 initially.

@Nades It does which I'm surprised at as there are relatively few trophies. Seems quite an easy platinum...famous last words.

You would have thought that Nintendo, the masters of cease and desist would have done this of their own accord.

As you get nearer to your target the beats get louder, you know what is needed to finally get some peace and regain your sanity.

Delightful I wonder if VR is supported not that it would add a great deal to the experience (like the recent Humanity game), either way this looks neat.

Nice. I will don the headset for Dreams.
Looking forward to Deaths Door as well.

Good month, again.

Nice, I did like the look of this.

Thanks Phil.

@riceNpea Xbox is shouting "don't leave me this way".
I think Liam missed a great subtitle there.

Before anyone says, it isn't leaving Xbox.

When I saw the price I said something that Justin would be proud of.
I too was expecting psvr after Trover saves the universe which was pretty good but I had to mute Justin after a while as it is just too grating.
Without VR I won't be playing this at any price

Shooting people in the nether regions, in Sniper Elite 5.
Hours of fun, possibly not for the whole family though.

No problem and it is good that PS check trophy support because I had my doubts, a game recently released called "Math World" has a trophy for playing a mini game 3 times and it was unobtainable at release. It even has the very rare and much prized counter (which should be mandatory) so quite how it was overlooked one can only guess.
NB. Math world VR has been patched so the plat is now obtainable.

Nice. Will play Sniper elite, Ascent and Snow runner with which I may or may not be singing "I like trucking" whilst I play.
Might try Ww z and Circus electrique.

Already have It Takes Two which is an awesome game.
Pretty good month imo.

It isn't just Sony's future but the industry as a whole, I wouldn't be surprised if in (quite) a few years we have a repeat of 1983 only the reasons will be quite different (forced expensive subs to play games etc).
Hopefully Nintendo can save us again.

Zombie netball confirmed!

I know I'm clutching at straws but I wonder if this is the Rockstar VR project that has been mentioned.
Would be great if this was a hybrid (flat and VR) title.

I wonder if they will release "Sugar Daddy" dlc which will effectively break the game.
