Codswallop.

Just started Far Cry 6, pretty good so far except for the footprint....a crazy 100gb.

@get2sammyb It is getting very juicy.
I bet Phil is wishing that he released Redfall on PS5 now as it certainly would have helped their case and god knows they need it.

@Americansamurai1 My vote would be for Victor Meldrew. I mean what Victor says is pretty much what we are all thinking.

As for Bethesda, the biggest loss was to PS VR as I think there was about five or so PSVR games. No upgrade for Skyrim VR is pretty sad.

I feel the need, the need for a 97p for a month of EA Play deal.

I still remember the farce with the incendiary grenade in Resistance. It really annoyed me and later insomniac made it free but only for the NA region which fuelled my rage even more.

I suppose I should let it go after more than a decade but it still pees me off, along with that bloody 10k killing machine trophy.

@Tr3mmOr I watched the trailer earlier and immediately pressed the mute button but then I do that for a lot of trailers that feature music that is not to my taste.
If that music is in the game I will be avoiding it.

I'm shocked, shocked I tell you.
@BusyOlf Probably so Sony can't send a "look what's coming to PlayStation" tweet after the Xbox showcase.
You can imagine those Microsoft boffins at the meeting, "right how are we going to stop Sony do these tweets"...."I know we will have a 24 hour embargo".
"Oh Phil you are a genius" shouts the entire room.
Meanwhile Phil has a smug grin on his face (you know the one).

Free / paid / any upgrade path?
I'm guessing as the name has changed (added final cut) and the publisher is different, so no probably not.

Pull your finger out Neil and release a PSVR2 port, that will shift some units.

@colonelkilgore I'm waiting for the Vita port.

@BeerIsAwesome That is the problems with these sub services, best not to buy any games ever again.
I assume you won't be playing the Wine making game...there is a beer making game out there so fingers crossed for next month.

Splendid lineup.
As for limited selection, PS Access video has more titles namely A hat in Time...which I've just purchased so you all can thank me for that.

Pathetic.

Best not to announce them two days after you have just started the project then. 🤐

Nice, forgotten all about this. Shadow tactics was great and Despardos is in my backlog.

Interested to see the AC VR game and hopeful it comes to PSVR2 as well as Quest. Trust it has a bit of scalability so it doesn't just look like (another) Quest port.

Would also like to see a Far Cry or Splinter Cell VR game, Sony should grease Ubisoft's palms.

It is bizarre, I guess it is so when gamers say "we don't want VR in our showcases" Sony can turned round and say it wasn't us, it was them.

Hard to come to any other conclusion.
Now if Sony only they had the same distaste for GaaS.

When the Vision Pro UI appeared I immediately thought "the Vita isn't dead, long live the Vita".
I can see this product only helping PSVR2 as people will say "We can't spend 4K (after taxes), lets settle for the Sony experience instead". (Possibly )
This product is a threat to Quest Pro if anything which probably explains the recent Meta showcase which was much more focused on games than the last one.

Just watching the Meta showcase, now that is how you do a showcase.
Pull your socks up Sony.

@colonelkilgore Yeah diablo isn't my bag either, I played the D3 on PS3 so it has been that long since the previous instalment so I'm happy for fans that D4 turned out well but I won't be playing it.

Early congrats on the plat.

Have they said how much it will be on Steam?
Currently £70 on PSN and considering the retailer/storefront percentage cut it should actually be more expensive on Steam. 😜

@kyleforrester87 Yet Bungie (probably) rubber stamped Fairgame$$$
Probably aggressive monopolisation of player time and money over game quality. Time will tell but I think being cynical is the correct attitude to all this GaaS.

All this GAAS shizzle off to a flying start I see, thank God for insomniac games is all I can say.

Is this some sort of an out of the season April Fools joke?!

Pass.
It's brave I'll give them that.

@Gremio108 Too soon, too soon.
I still call them Marathon and the less said about Starburst the better.

@thefourfoldroot1 Positive, it says so right on the blog, worded as "full main story"
Free as well.

I do agree that all this "mode" talk seems unnecessary double speak and I can only think they say it to avoid the fact that it isn't 100% playable in VR (i.e. Mercenaries, possible dlc etc...).

Shockingly bad especially for VR2, the only saving grace for both flat and VR was the near total absence of first party studios.
Helldivers needed a VR mode.

@thefourfoldroot1 Don't quite understand your re4 Vr mode comment, it is the whole game so similar to village Vr.
Ps. Fingers crossed the trophies aren't locked out this time.

As I said with my previous predictions comment, I expect Half life Alyx psvr2 to be announced at g fest.
Fingers crossed Anyhoo.

Caption suggestion "Step back behind the line".

Mainly in it for the excitement of VR, so here are my VR predictions...
Ace combat 8 announced for flat plus entirely playable in VR.
Half life Alyx, although I feel this might be a summer game fest announcement.
Wolverine if shown which I doubt will be playable in VR.
Borderlands 3 announced for VR.

And finally Skyrim updated for psvr2, okay perhaps that is being too unrealistic.

@tselliot This is why the only way forward for VR is what has been called hybrid games, games which are playable in flat and VR. For example Hitman 3, Dirt rally, Resident evil 7/8/4, gt7 etc..
Personally I really enjoy hybrid games and more of them will give me more faith in Sonys VR commitment, perhaps Wolverine could be hybrid or Last of Us could be modified (it has shown to work on PC with a mod).

I experienced this playing HZD around the time it was put on ps+.
I also seem to remember it happening years ago but it is a very rare event, I guess the license query timed out or something like that.

Inb4 Oh noes it is an Xbox exclusive.
(24 hours later)
Oh it is okay, good guy gamer Phil just paid for 24 hour exclusivity.

Nice. Mainly interested to see what they have in store for VR2, hopefully Alyx and hybrid games.
Fingers crossed for lots of "also playable in VR"

Plus it is time for a few vr1 ports, personally I think they should create a ps+ Vr collection which includes vr1 ports and make a commitment like adding one per quarter, this would bolster Vr sales...if indeed they are lacking.

Well he is certainly more reliable than Grubbsnax.
So yeah it's happening, perhaps.

As we have GT7 in VR, F1 isn't such a loss but this decision is still disappointing.
I just hope the next rally game is supported on PS VR2, Dirt Rally VR was brilliant and was considerably easier for me than in flat mode. Wipeout was the same.
If there isn't support for psvr2 in the next rally game then I shall be writing to my MP.

@Vacuumator It is solo only, no support for coop.
I'm playing with the Moves as I don't have an Aim controller, it works very well with the Moves...minimal issues. I have heard the Aim support is very good as well.
I am using the dual shock to drive though and the game handles the use of using different controllers with no issues at all.

Playing Borderlands 2 VR, I put off buying it for so long because of reported issues but I'm not experiencing those. All in all a great port and lots of fun.
Also Ghostwire Tokyo and perhaps Grid Legends.

@Vacuumator I had no idea that Shadows of the damned was such a collectors item. I have a copy of that, I'm sure I only paid a few quid for it. The last PS3 game that I found out was worth something was 3D dot game heroes.

@get2sammyb Not if the much rumoured psvr 2 mode makes an appearance.
Probably highly unlikely at this stage.

Very nice, been waiting for Ratchet and Clank RA.
Played all the dishono(u)reds and tomb raiders, I recommend both series.

The question is ... dare I play Wolfenstein Youngblood?

It would be interesting to see the sales drop as a percentage for both US and UK/EU because whilst in America the price 'only' went up by $10 in the U.K./EU they seemed to jump £20/€20 (not sure exactly about the EU as I'm in the U.K. but that what comments on forum would have me believe).
However tbh we all seem to have massive backlogs so the waiting game is easier these days. 😜

Playing Kena, Riders republic and Crooked crown table of tales.

@thefourfoldroot1 Great to Cos High is good because it looked a bit meh to me.

Brad and Bobby have both seemed to be a bit irrational and unstable during this whole affair and to think I thought the crazy Takes would come from their rabid YouTube fanbase.
Where is Phil in all of this? Clearly locked away from the media for fear of saying something really crazy?! 😂

"Generally reliable"
Hold on I shall just ask Aaron Greenberg on how reliable Grubb is. 😝

"My precious" says Gollum in a cockney accent.
For the true Andy Serkis experience cough up.

(I know it is background characters 😜)

News just in, the US is running dangerous low of brown envelopes.

@colonelkilgore Indeed, negativity gets the clicks.
When the original Bloomberg estimate was released I didn't think 270k was too bad, i reckon it amounts to roughly 1% of the PS5 user base. I'm sure there was a much larger PS4 user base when the original psvr unit was released which makes the 270k even more impressive imo.

@Wheatly I actually think that support for psvr 1 was pretty good and didn't "dry up". Even in the year of the psvr2 announcement (2021) we got Hitman 3 , Moss 2,Wanderer and Doom 3 all of which I'm sure were paid for in some way by Sony.
Saints and sinner 2 is even releasing soon as well.
