The continued support for this game is incredible. They could easily have given up and moved on. I've been thinking about going back to this recently. It'll probably be what I focus on after Ghost of Tsushima.
One thing I would love to see though is an easier mode that doesn't restrict all the trophies. I've put over 100 hours into the game, but dipping back in does feel a little daunting.
@get2sammyb Do we know the minority percentage they now own?
Edit* I've worked it out based on the last estimated value of Epic which was a surprisingly high $17 billion. So by my calculations then its roughly about 1.5%
This is great news. If I'm being honest, I expected Iron Man VR to struggle to make the top 10. Hope it continues to do well. VR seems to be having a bit of a resurgence recently.
Also, I finished TLoU2 the other day. Incredible game.
Yeah no need to ask. I'm about 8 hours into the game and it's incredible. I can't believe it's running on a PS4. Naughty Dog are insanely talented in so many ways.
The Last of Us 2
Ghost of Tsushima
Death Stranding
Red Dead Redemption 2
Dreams
Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy
God of War
Marvel's Spider-Man
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Days Gone
Jedi Fallen Order
As a PSVR owner and future PS5 owner, this is great to see. I expected next gen to be saved for PSVR2 besides backwards compatibility for the current VR games. Hope to see more of this.
Yeah I'm currently playing the Remaster again in preparation for TLoU2.
I'm up to the point that Ellie has just had the fight with David (it still blows my mind that David is the same voice actor as Nathan Drake). I should have it and Left Behind DLC finished in time for the second game.. just.
What an incredible game it still is though. I can see parts that have aged a bit. For example the player movement can be a little clunky. But overall for a what 7 year old PS3 game, it looks surprisingly great. Incredible story. Really enjoying replaying it. And I can't wait to play part 2.
Awesome. My PS4 copy of Spider-Man will still be playable on PS5 I assume so makes sense. This stand alone game will do just nicely until the inevitable Spider-Man 2 in a couple of years. Also, the map is big enough for more stories.
I loved UC The Lost Legacy. At roughly 10 hours, that's around the same as 1-3 were. If this new Spider-Man game is around that length then it's a full game in my book. Regardless of if it has the number 2 in it or not.
Thanks for the excellent review @get2sammyb. Cant wait to play this game. I was gonna just recap the first one on YouTube but this has got me so hyped and gonna replay it instead.
I feel like Naughty Dog are to games the equivalent of Scorsese to films. Guaranteed masterpiece.
Probably in the minority but I'm glad this isn't the full blown sequel. It's only been 2 years. This will tide people over somewhat for the genuine sequel in a couple of years.
All over it. Big fan. I was hoping it wouldn't be a huge Square brick and this is above and beyond what I was wanting. It clearly looks related to the PS4 but has enough unique features of it's own. Untimately it's the games that matter but that design, I love it.
Oh my god. This is awesome. So many great memories of this game with my family as a kidd. Cant wait to revisit it and introduce my little ones to it. I'm so excited for this.
For me Gran Turismo 7 would make PS5 the best launch lineup of all the previous 4 consoles. A GT game is something I'd expect a year or two into the gen. That and something like Horizon 2 and I don't think I could resist.
If true this would be a great, quality addition to the VR library. This year looked pretty barren for VR games at the start but it's turning out to be way better than I expected. Great to see the continued support.
I did terrible. 3/15. That was very hard. I loved the original PlayStation enough to buy a PlayStation Classic. I felt like I lost a part of my heart with each wrong answer 🥺
This reminds me of stuff from PlayStation Home. Specifically J.J. Abrams talking about the Star Trek remake from 2009 along with a trailer. I remember loads of people running around in Star Trek uniforms in PS Home too.
I wish they did both. Have someone introducing the content, to be the face of PlayStation. And also, compile all the trailers into one YouTube compilation for people that just want that.
I personally want the former myself. I like having games and tech demos introduced, given context and a bit of personality to go along with it.
This is a game that passed my by for some reason. I've no idea why as its clearly hugely popular. Although I have recently bought the version with the expansions in a recent sale. Not had change to play yet however. This article is great for someone like me who's gonna be playing it shortly for the first time.
@Mostik They haven't outright confirmed it as far as I'm aware, but they have said they've got Dreams up and running on a PS5. So I'd imagine it's nailed on. At the least it should work regardless due to backwards compatibility.
Wow, a good few VR games keep popping up out of nowhere. Great to see the continued support. I'll definitely pick this up at some point, along with that VR Star Wars Vader game.
Both beautiful. I like that Sucker Punch have 2 themes so regular any pre-order gets one at least.
I don't normally do this but I'll be pre-ordering the deluxe digital for the bonus content. Specifically it mentions a director's commentary. That's sold me on the deluxe. Just wish more games did this. Can't wait for GoT (and TLoU2).
Edit.. I found this description of the commentary if anyone is interested- "Director's Commentary with the creative team and a renowned Japanese historian who compares GoT with real-life events"
I'll grab it around £15 price although I've no issue with the £22.49 for a launch day price. I think it's perfectly reasonable considering the old games cost £40 on release.
Review video was about what I was expecting. As a Mega Drive SoR fan, nothing mentioned put me off.
Digital it is. I wouldn't normally pay this price but I have two PS4 Pro consoles, me and the gf can both play and not have to decide/argue who plays first. Feels more like £27.50 for each PS4 then. We'll probably still argue who gets the better TV. I want all that 4K HDR goodness for TLoU2.
@DarthAmmii Ah the old PSM3 podcast. Now that was a quality podcast. I miss hearing from Dan Dawkins and the rest of the staff.
Also I've just checked my podcast feed and yeah all OPM UK pods are gone. I can see the episodes but it won't let me download or stream them unfortunately. I don't get why they would delete them. Just leave them up.

Re: PS4 Games on PS5 - All Confirmed Upgrades
@michaelf Or give them the cheap/broken pad. Ah the ZX Spectrum was my first step into gaming. Manic Miner is the game I have the fondest memories of.
Re: PS4 Games on PS5 - All Confirmed Upgrades
@michaelf Nice. Great taste in games 😃

Re: Guide: Best PS4 Graphics
@get2sammyb This could do with a little update with FF7 Remake, TLoU2 and GoT shortly I'd assume.
Re: UK Sales Charts: The Last of Us 2 Remains Number One Despite Heroic Debut for Iron Man VR
This is great news. If I'm being honest, I expected Iron Man VR to struggle to make the top 10. Hope it continues to do well. VR seems to be having a bit of a resurgence recently.
Also, I finished TLoU2 the other day. Incredible game.
Re: Poll: What New PS5 Games Are You Most Excited About?
I went with...
Horizon
Spider-Man
Deathloop
I also wanted to include GT7, R&C and RE8.
Also, can I include The Last of Us Part 2? 😆 It looks and feels like I'm playing a PS5 game. I'll totally re-play it again on a PS5 through BC.
Re: Can You Name These PS4 Games from Their PlayStation Store Descriptions?
9 correct for me. Some very clever trick answers. I enjoy these quiz questions, though I'm generally average to poor at them.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 329
Yeah no need to ask. I'm about 8 hours into the game and it's incredible. I can't believe it's running on a PS4. Naughty Dog are insanely talented in so many ways.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy The Last of Us 2?
Had it pre ordered. I'm a few hours in and 😲 I won't say anymore other than seriously, buy and play this game asap guys.
Re: PS4 Games on PS5 - All Confirmed Upgrades
Id like to see the free upgrade for these-
The Last of Us 2
Ghost of Tsushima
Death Stranding
Red Dead Redemption 2
Dreams
Uncharted 4 and Lost Legacy
God of War
Marvel's Spider-Man
Final Fantasy 7 Remake
Days Gone
Jedi Fallen Order
The list goes on...
Re: Insomniac Has 'Much of Peter’s Story Left to Tell' for Marvel's Spider-Man 2 on PS5
Insomniac proving to be a very smart purchase by Sony.
Re: Low-Fi Is a Cyberpunk Virtual Reality Release Coming to PS5
As a PSVR owner and future PS5 owner, this is great to see. I expected next gen to be saved for PSVR2 besides backwards compatibility for the current VR games. Hope to see more of this.
Re: Soapbox: Seven Years Later, The Last of Us Remains a Masterpiece

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Think the PS5 Will Cost?
£499 disc, £449 digital is my best bet.
£50 either way for best and worst case scenarios.
Re: PS5 Game Scarlet Nexus Debuts Short Slice of Gameplay
Looks good. Reminds me of Devil May Cry and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.
Re: Star Wars: Squadrons Brings Space Battles to PS4 This October
PSVR support has me interested.
Re: Random: The Web Is Freaking Out Over a Tiny PS5 Controller Detail
I love this attention to detail. Its classy and premium looking.
Re: How Closely Were You Watching the PS5 Reveal Event?
8/15 some tricky ones. I enjoyed that.
Re: Correction: Spider-Man Miles Morales Is a Brand New, Standalone PS5 Game Similar to Uncharted Lost Legacy
Awesome. My PS4 copy of Spider-Man will still be playable on PS5 I assume so makes sense. This stand alone game will do just nicely until the inevitable Spider-Man 2 in a couple of years. Also, the map is big enough for more stories.

Re: Demon's Souls PS5 Remake Lets You Prioritise Visuals or Frame Rate
@tanaka2687 Yeah I'm fine with this sort of thing on my PS4 Pro as a half step but I would expect the PS5 could do both without compromise.
Re: The Last of Us: Part II - Essential Sequel Is Naughty Dog's Best Effort
Thanks for the excellent review @get2sammyb. Cant wait to play this game. I was gonna just recap the first one on YouTube but this has got me so hyped and gonna replay it instead.
I feel like Naughty Dog are to games the equivalent of Scorsese to films. Guaranteed masterpiece.
Re: Remedy Confirms a PS5 Version of Control Is in the Works
@Athrum Yeah it's all a bit vague. Some games have free upgrades of the PS4 games, and some you have to buy the game again to get improvements.
Surely playing the PS4 game Control on a PS5 it should just run better anyway. They could just patch in a few improvements.
I'm certainly not re-buying all my games again. I've done that enough over the years. Especially when the PS5 supports PS4 games anyways.
Re: PS5 Digital Edition Exists for Consumers Who 'Purchase Solely Digitally'
Will probably buy one of each so me and the misses can play PS5 together. That's what we currently do with our 2 Pro consoles.
Main room will have the 4K Blu Ray and dining room will be the all digital. Ideal. Just need a spare £1000 or so 😬
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales Is a Remaster of the 2018 Game with New Content
Probably in the minority but I'm glad this isn't the full blown sequel. It's only been 2 years. This will tide people over somewhat for the genuine sequel in a couple of years.
Re: PS5 Console Revealed, Standard and Digital Only Edition
Seriously, them curves have me hypnotized. Beautiful.

Re: Gran Turismo Trademarks Filed on Original Date of PS5 Event
For me Gran Turismo 7 would make PS5 the best launch lineup of all the previous 4 consoles. A GT game is something I'd expect a year or two into the gen. That and something like Horizon 2 and I don't think I could resist.
Re: How Well Do You Know Final Fantasy VII?
8/20. Not played the Remake yet and I don't have the best memory in the world. Means it's time for another playthrough soon.
Re: PREY VR Listed for PSVR by UK Online Retailer

Re: The Last of Us 2 Tracking Better Than Spider-Man PS4 Pre-Orders in Europe
Has Spider-Man overtaken Uncharted 4 as the top selling exclusive?
This is from Wikipedia so take that for what you will.. Latest sales for Uncharted 4 were from May 2019 at over 15 million.
The latest sales for Marvel's Spider-Man were from August 2019 13.2 million copies.
Regardless, both are hugely successful great games. Fingers crossed TLoU2 reaches these crazy numbers.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake US Launch Sales are Highest in Series History
Great news. Means the next part is gonna get maximum support from Square Enix.
Re: Christopher Nolan Movie Tenet Debuts Latest Trailer in Fortnite

Re: Iron Man VR Demo Lands on PS4 Today
Downloading now. Sounds like it's got a decent amount of content for a demo so I'm excited to play hopefully tonight.
Re: Sony's Change in Approach to E3 Showcases Is 'What the Fans Want'
I wish they did both. Have someone introducing the content, to be the face of PlayStation. And also, compile all the trailers into one YouTube compilation for people that just want that.

Re: Of Course Someone Has Remade Part of the Unreal Engine 5 Demo in Dreams
@Mostik They haven't outright confirmed it as far as I'm aware, but they have said they've got Dreams up and running on a PS5. So I'd imagine it's nailed on. At the least it should work regardless due to backwards compatibility.
Re: Of Course Someone Has Remade Part of the Unreal Engine 5 Demo in Dreams
This is insane. It's a credit to both the creator and the Dreams tools themselves.

Re: Can You Name the PS4 Game from Just the Box Art?
Gah so close. 9 out of 10. I got number 7 wrong and went Dark Souls Remastered instead of DS3.

Digital it is. I wouldn't normally pay this price but I have two PS4 Pro consoles, me and the gf can both play and not have to decide/argue who plays first. Feels more like £27.50 for each PS4 then. We'll probably still argue who gets the better TV. I want all that 4K HDR goodness for TLoU2.
