MX vs ATV was fine until they MTX'd the crap out of it with Alive and put well over 50% of the content into "DLC". Since then... AA is being generous as they always seem last gen in graphics. Hard pass for me.
Edit... maybe it'll be part of upgraded PS+ subs day one for those that go that route. It would be AA value then
Criterion without Alex Ward and Fiona Sperry? Codemasters Cheshire (EVO) without Paul Rustchynsky?
Yup, this is another sh** NFS in the making.
EA - just pay Three Fields to do a proper named sequel to Burnout. IMO, Dangerous Driving is Burnout all day long, to say nothing of the fact that Dangerous Driving 2 is MIA and TFE has been radio silent for nearly two years...
PS+ games release on first Tues of month. First in June is the 7th. Expanded PS+ starts on the 13th so I'm expecting two announcements. Regular PS+ announcement on previous Wed - June 1st and then expanded PS+ on the 13th. 🤣
I expect the original game. If you upgrade the game whether by graphics or gameplay or adding trophies/saves you are not playing a retro game. I personally do not play old games either to replay a favorite or play something I missed. Pointless to me.
But there are gray areas to the above like Crash Bandicoot remake and Journey for me so.....
Pathless would be nice. Maybe a Jackbox Party pack. Not expecting much from revamped PS+ and will remain at entry tier anyway as game streaming / retro games do not interest me.
Driveclub had a disastrous launch, Evo worked like dogs to patch, upgrade and add to it until it was an awesome game and Sony still closed them.
Whatever the final outcome, PD should be worried, and Kaz especially. GT7 is Kaz' baby and it seems he's thrown it out with the bathwater. IMO, PD needs a new leader.
Gave it a 6.5 lost a star for stupid implementation of MTX/credits lost a star for being unfinished - and knowing how long it'll take PD to get there lost a star for offroad physics - they're as bad as paved is good lost .5 star for losing ability to save photos to USB
Stars and clouds are similar to what was in GT6. Stupid ideas never cease from Kaz. Never have I ever... thought in a racing game "bullocks - Spa never gets clouds like that!"
Thankfully the Crash/Spyro remakes were done before this or they'd probably not been made for just Xbox users. Really those were the only two of any significance. For me, games are on PS4, work is on PC, phones are for communication and there's very little overlap. Oh and a DS2XL for giggles.
2022 - the year of next gen being held back again by last gen as HFW, GT7 and U:LoT basically just PS4 games on PS5. If GT7 matches GTS in visuals on PS4 that's good enough 4 me. BORING!! PS5 is a bust for me.
Less interested in this than GTAV PS5 which I'm not at all interested in. R* used to make games. Then they made a series. Then they made GTAV. Then they split SP and MP and now they make 1/2 a game and need all R* studios to do it.
Even if I would get this, I'm not going to give Sony any money any sooner than I have to. February is soon enough. Assuming GT7 is released early March.
"... PlayStation first-party exclusive cross-gen titles will offer a digital upgrade option from PS4 to PS5. This will apply to the next God of War and Gran Turismo 7 ..."
A Plague Tale is awesome but I've got it on PS4 - good enough. Play one COD you played 'em all. And WWE is uninspired drivel. So a pass for me this month.
If anyone cared, it wouldn't have been laid out in a single article by a "reporter" but followed by fans. That virtually no one knew of this besides the broad strokes of PT, Silent Hill and Kojima says most don't care and are only interested because internet told them to. If it is in fact a Silent Hill by Kojima, his marketing needs to be a lot less esoteric to appeal to more than the handful of fans who follow this stuff. Also shows how far in advance he's thinking (if it's him)
Who keeps receipts? I never do for games, though I've been 100% digital since 2013 so those emails are saved but actual paper receipts... maybe a week or two max.

Re: Gran Turismo Replaced by Assetto Corsa Competizione at FIA Motorsport Games
I look at it like GT dropped FIA and not FIA dropped GT. A win for GT in my book
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Update Adds Three Cars to PS5, PS4 Sim Next Week
GT7 is a drip-fed mtx-riddled scam. $80CND for GTSport with a new front-end. And a 3 year wait for them to finish it. Ludicrous.
Felt disappointed in every GT since 5. #firekaz
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 11
I consistently get a 7 in these quizzes but it's because I basically play mostly racing games so limited knowledge base
Re: PS5 Exclusive Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is a Year Old
Can't believe this hasn't been remastered yet lol
Re: Poll: Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
@patronmacabre should be free with PS+ Extra or Premium
Re: Final Fantasy 7 25th Anniversary Broadcast Announced for 16th June
Fully expect them to announce a remake of part 1 with enhanced graphics/gameplay more in line with part 2
Re: Poll: Will You Buy The Last of Us: Part I?
Hell no, I'll wait for the remaster of the remake on PS6. That'll be the shizz!!
Re: Sony Leaks The Last of Us: Part I for PS5, Launching 2nd September
TLoU 2 has been out for long enough it should've been a bundle or a loss leader to get people to upgrade to the PS+ Extra or Premium levels...

Re: Poll: Did Sony's Latest State of Play Livestream Live Up to the Hype?
Interesting to see how many big games are still cross-gen literally two+ years after release. Yet more reasons to not get a PS5.

3! Worst score for me by far, only got the last two and one other one. But had never heard of or played most of them so.....

Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 6
hard to get questions of games I've never played; so 7/15 is pretty good
Re: Reaction: PS Plus, PS Now's Makeover a Necessary and Positive Step for Sony
Not into playing old games again, but hopefully the selection will be better than what they offered with the PlayStation Classic Mini.
Also, I doubt online mp/trophies will be a thing for PS1/2 games as a lot of those studios don't exist anymore. Licensing will be a b****.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Gran Turismo 7?
Gave it a 6.5
lost a star for stupid implementation of MTX/credits
lost a star for being unfinished - and knowing how long it'll take PD to get there
lost a star for offroad physics - they're as bad as paved is good
lost .5 star for losing ability to save photos to USB
everything else.... kiss kiss kiss
Re: Talking Point: What PS5, PS4 PS Plus Games for March 2022 Do You Want?
@Jackpaza0508 no GT game has ever been on PS+. GT7 won't be the first.

Re: Beleaguered PS2 Remaster GTA Vice City Spotted for PS Now
What this tells me is 3mth for GTAVC then 3mth for GTASA. So no PS Spartacus announcement until July earliest. Whatever Sony. //.
Re: PS Plus February 2022 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Last month I redeemed Dirt 5 out of pity. No such luck this month. Move along. Nothing to see.
I fear the PS+/Now reboot will lead me to lament the passing of two services.
For all the hits of Sony Studios, Sony itself is surprisingly inept.
Re: GTA Trilogy Has Done 'Just Great', Exec Says 'Glitch Was Resolved'
Easiet to hit profit margins the less $$ you put up front. Clearly they hired a budget dev to quell the masses. And it worked obviously.
Re: These Are the Franchises PS5, PS4 May Lose to Activision Blizzard Buyout

Re: Abandoned Prologue Chapter Coming Early 2022, More Info 'Shortly'
All this time and all they have is a playable demo. And by 'playable' they be like "y'all being played".
Re: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
First third of 2021 for PS+ was awesome. Then quickly descended into a deep pile of Meh for the following two thirds.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus December 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Leaked Early
Yuck... x3. Have not redeemed a PS+ game since March.
Re: Don't Forget to Ring the Bell for Notifications on YouTubers Life 2
Yet another way society teaches us to become self-absorbed self-appreciating a**holes. Uninterested.
Re: GTA: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition Finally Announced for PS5, PS4
Less interested in this than GTAV PS5 which I'm not at all interested in. R* used to make games. Then they made a series. Then they made GTAV. Then they split SP and MP and now they make 1/2 a game and need all R* studios to do it.
Re: Konami Apologises for the State of eFootball at Launch
Sadly a game nearly as unfinished as C2077, but with less hype (and less promise).

Re: MX vs. ATV Legends Brings the Offroad Battle of a Lifetime to PS5, PS4
The one before Alive was the last good one. Nothing on PS4 of note IMO. A tired series for sure.
Re: Shatter Remake Targeting Release in Early 2022
Definitely getting this. Loved it on PS3.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Showcase 2021 Was Good, But Not Good Enough
I'm happy. GT7 dated. Now it can be officially delayed. The initial Porsche had the #23. So I'm calling March 2023!!
Re: Fans Ponder Whether There's an Upgrade Path for Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection on PS5
Backwards compatibility is good enough for me.
Re: Horizon Forbidden West Will Now Offer Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrade, Sony Confirms

GT7 definitely cross-gen. Don't need a PS5 now.
Re: Round Up: What Was Announced at Gamescom Opening Night Live 2021?
Sony PlayStation trailer 0:27
GT7 in development for PlayStation. Ghostwire Tokyo in development for PS5.
GT7 confirmed for PS4 IMO.
