This is actually good for Sony it's console business as usually. Where as Microsoft is moving away from the traditional console market of no longer taking a bit of a hit on the hardware side and making that back through software.
I 100% agree with you I buy physical for the majority of my PS5 Pro, but I do buy digital for certain games like FH5 for example. On my Switch I buy all physical games zero digital except Bayonetta which came as a download code with my physical Bayonetta 2. On my XSX it's a mix of physical and digital as it's pointless collecting physical games on Xbox sadly. Because the full game (data) isn't on the disc, so which ever is the cheapest option.
I'll be picking up the bundle £429.99, it's definitely a secondary console to my PS5 Pro. I wonder how much they'll sell the port's for? at the right price I'll buy both Zelda games again for 4K HDR & better frame rates.
I've been looking for the price of the Switch 2 is apparently £499.99 a place holder price on some website's, as Nintendo hasn't released an official price yet. But I can definitely see the Switch 2 being £400+.
I love Death Stranding will be platinuming it again on PS5 before Death Stranding 2 comes out. I never pre-order games mostly, but I've pre-ordered Death Stranding 2.
I thought people would have already known the game wouldn't be on the disc the publisher is Microsoft. Take Forza Horizon 5 on the XSX you still need to download the game, unlike Sony Microsoft physical games are just game access keys.
Burnout Paradise is a pure arcade racer completely different game to Forza Horizon. Forza Horizon is more of a hybrid that leans more towards arcade racing but still has some sim elements to it. In terms of handling FH is closer to DriveClub but unlike DriveClub FH is an open world game with a lot more diversity in the vehicles you drive and locations you drive through, from street racing to off-road racing etc.
So much for an authentic remake of THPS4. I'll probably still buy it but I want to see some reviews first, and how THPS4 works with it's new 2-minute structure.
"authentically remade in jaw dropping 4K resolution with streamlined goals and the epic two-minute format"
THPS3 does have a two-minute format while THPS4 doesn't. It says nothing about both games having a two-minute format. It also says authentically remade, it wouldn't be automatically remade if they changed the structure of THPS4. People are just reading too much into it.
I am definitely pre-ordering Forza Horizon 5, it's £84.99 for the base game FH 5 plus both DLC's, VIP Car Pack and the Welcome Car Pack etc. I have the disc version on my Xbox Series X and got both DLC's too. Love Forza Horizon so will definitely platinum it on my PlayStation 5.
Definitely keep an eye on this game. MercurySteam are the Devs behind Castlevania: Lords of Shadow an amazing game, which I would buy again in a heartbeat if remade or remastered for the PS5.
They haven't been hacked otherwise everything would be down. I can use the PSN Store download PS+ games, see friends, trophies everything apart from playing online is the only thing I cannot do.
I tried logging in and I got the message that they are doing maintenance this was about 1 o clock UK time. I haven't got a clue if it's back on now, but I'll try again tomorrow.
I own Forza Horizon 3 and all it's DLC, Forza Horizon 4 and all it's DLC and Forza Horizon 5 with all it's DLC. Brilliant games and lots to do definitely will pick up FH5 on PlayStation. If you like The Crew Motorfest you'll like Forza Horizon more, Motorfest is the closest to Forza Horizon.
A girl boss femcel apart of a shadowy group known as 2B, intent on destroying they/them's nemesis Stella blade the video game. "Everything is sexists, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynist." Serious stuff....
Also you cannot judge a game that you haven't seen gameplay of.
I am not really interested in trying this now as I am buying the full game while it's on sale for £34.99 half price. I am glad I didn't buy it launch because it takes advantage of my PS5 Pro and a lot more has been added to the game. They should have done this sooner in my opinion. Also the always online doesn't put me off, if it was another publishers and developers I probably wouldn't buy it. When Polyphony makes GT8 I trust Sony and Polyphony to patch GT7 with the ability to play offline apart from multiplayer, like they've done before.
No wonder some of you have no time for big games RPG's, you too busy watching someone else playing game's 🤣. Something that I see no point in especially after spending money to buy the game, strange behaviour in my opinion.
I already own Aliens and couldn't really care about the other two, not a bad month for those that haven't got Aliens and or like the other two Co-op games.
One of the biggest causal games isn't moving the needle for Microsoft's Game pass is kind of crazy. Sure Microsoft makes money off the game but so does Sony to some extent, but Microsoft wants to grow their Game pass platform. If Microsoft isn't careful they could go the way SEGA did 3rd party.
Lucky I own both and thanks to my backlog haven't started them yet. Definitely be playing on my PS5 PRO I've already downloaded games with a PS5 PRO patch.
Give them what they want and cut there wages. Obviously they wouldn't be doing the same amount of work hours, so they wouldn't expect the same amount of wages. Then hire people to fill in the gap.
I set up my PS5 Pro and played some games on it today. The first thing you notice if you own the original PS5 launch model is how small it is in comparison. I few small changes to the PS5 Pro over the original, and I actually think the new little legs to attach to the underside of the console make the console more stable over the original stand. I am happy I picked one up.
I really like Killzone because at the time it wasn't Call of Duty it had a more weighty movement system for example. The irony is this is why a lot of people didn't like Killzone at the time because it didn't feel like COD in it's movement system that was one of it's main criticisms. Even Gears of War changed their control scheme to resemble COD with Judgement because of the success of COD. The colour palette was also a trend of the time a choice by the teams making those games.
I've already pre-ordered the game considering it's only £10. You can definitely tell it's been updated too, looking forwards to platinuming the game again. It also has PS5 Pro enhancements so will be playing on the PS5 Pro.
It's highly likely fanboys green with envy. They are always calling PS game's like Spider-Man 2 for example crap etc. it is pretty nuts. Definitely picking it up probably just after lunch.
Obviously he does people like him are not interested in selling you a product because that takes time, money and risk. He wants to sell you a service which overall is less investment the risk is still there but reward is there too. I don't believe the future is live service games.
I have a big catalogue of PS4/PS5 games so when I saw the games which are getting upgraded on the PS5 PRO I am just going to wait and play them on the PS5 PRO. FF7 Rebirth is a huge big difference,. They restock again before launch and have stock at launch and especially around Xmas time.
People are basically saying no we don't want the upgrade you are working on anyway to bring to the PC. Don't see the problem at all it also looks so much better.
No one cares about females leads being in video games because if they did certain games wouldn't have became so popular. They have a problem with the cult of diversity aka intersectionality.
I am quite looking forwards to this game myself but I definitely want to see more gameplay.
What is the point in having combat Isn't it just a waste time at that point? I understand difficulty options, obviously not all games need them. But I don't not understand an option to turn off death as it makes certain parts of your game pointless and ultimately a waste of time. Are people really suggesting they are either that stupid or lazy they cannot learn basic combat in a game? And what is the point in buying a game with certain mechanics in it? It's a weird one.
If you don't like difficult games like Souls/ Nioh why even buy them? The vast majority of games have difficulty options. People have that much choice they complain for the sake of it.
PlayStation 5 has official news it's to the point informing you about the game's you own (up and coming DLC, updates to the game etc). And even game's you've wished listed.
I don't think you can compare Helldivers 2 to Concord. Helldivers 2 was always going to do well because it had a fan base on PlayStation & PC as it turns out Helldivers 2 did really well. Concord on the hand is another Hero shooter that does nothing to stand out and unlike the rest of the Hero shooters it isn't free. Personally I don't see this game doing well.
