Definitely getting Stellar Blade. I would love Capcom to remake Devil May Cry & Devil May Cry 3 & 4 for the PS5.

I have excellent news for Xbox fans regarding Helldivers 2. Xbox fans can play Helldivers 2 today, yes that's right you didn't hear me wrong. Go online or down to your local game store and pickup Helldivers 2 with a PS5. Sony isn't stopping you from playing Playstation games, only you are.

I'm not exactly sure who it helps in the industry by not being on Playstation, Indiana Jones, Starfield, Ori etc.

For me there is a massive difference between owning and renting your game's, I don't find any value in renting game's other than treating the game's as demo's. Game's are not two hour long films, I like to take my time and don't use guide's when playing my game's and a lot of game's I play I put 100+ hours into them or 50-80+ hours in others obviously depending on the game. Doing everything the game has to offer, and I go back to replay games again. And then you have the sale's, you can buy Crysis trilogy 1-3 under a £10, Lego Marvel Trilogy with all DLC £7.99 if that's not vavlue for money I don't know what is, not only that games prices fall super quick. Now if you could only rent games you would see non of that and the monthly prices would be a lot more than what they are now to rent games. I like the way gaming is now, and I hope it stays this way.

How would Helldivers 2 benefit from being on Xbox? The PlayStation 5 platform only is double Xbox & that's not including PlayStation 4 & PC. If Sony where to go multiplatform you choose Nintendo Switch. Also if exclusives didn't matter Activision & Bethesda would still be multiplatform.

The only one that's worth buying if these are the game's Hi-Fi Rush, Pentiment, Grounded, and Sea of Thieves, is definitely Hi-Fi Rush. I am sure these games did well on GP but didn't meet sale expectations on Xbox I'll we definitely buy Hi-Fi Rush pass on the other. PS player's want to look at Hi-Fi Rush the guys who made The Evil Within Tango Gameworks made it.

I think Microsoft will release game's from Activision & Bethesda, game's that Playstation would have gotten anyway if not for being brought by Microsoft. I am very sceptical Microsoft/Xbox will be releasing any of there own first party game's on Playstation. I guess we'll see later.

@Maaster89

You don't have to play Helldivers with friends, it plays just as good solo or with randoms.

I am definitely picking up Granblue Fantasy Relink's in a month or two. Glad the game is selling well.

I not sure why people would think Helldivers 2 would flop as Helldivers has it's fan base. Even now you can easily find a game online if you want , or players joining you. For me the reason for good sales is a mixture of price, already having a fan base and word of mouth, unlike GOW this is the 2nd game so people know what they are buying into.

I have all the DLC for Dead Cells and it also released on the PS5. So at some point soon I'll be 100% Dead Cells on both PS4 & PS5.

I brought it yesterday on pre-order with another pre-order & a game on sale. I never pre-order game's usually but both Helldivers 2 & TombRaider I-III Remastered are an exception for me. I am just finishing off platiunm a game then jumping into Helldivers 2, also definitely picking up Castlevania Advanced Collection I really liked Castlevania Requiem Symphony of The Night & Rondo of Blood I platiunmed it the other day.

I not sure how to feel about it. I own an Xbox Series X but more I am definitely more of a Playstation guy I have always have been, it's where the majority of my games are. But I also own a Nintendo Switch, I love games. I think Xbox shouldn't make any Activision or Bethesda game exclusive they should all come to Playstation because these have always been 3rd party, the extra income would help Xbox. But I am totally fine with Xbox making great exclusives and keeping them fist party exclusive on Xbox, make the game's and I mean good games people will come obviously not over night it'll take time. Xbox One really damaged Xbox as a brand, and some of the decision they are still making like the game is not on the disc DRM.

I just pre-ordered Helldivers 2 & TombRaider Remastered, also brought The Last Faith on sale. I really liked the first Helldivers Helldivers 2 looks even better.

People forget Xbox is a brand inside of Microsoft & it's apparently Microsoft that's wanting more of an investment especially after buying both Activision & Bethesda. While apparently the Xbox CEO's like Phil Spencer want Xbox exclusives. This tells me some where down the line the numbers aren't adding up for Microsoft inside of Xbox. Just keep Activision & Bethesda multiplatform like they always been this helps Microsoft as a business, while also having Xbox exclusives from Xbox first parties.

I already own the complete edition of Steelriding but haven't played it yet due to working on my backlog. I was going to buy Rollerdrome PS5 version on sale, if you get both versions PS5 & PS4 that will be even better. I might try Foamstars depending on the platiunm.

A bargain bin game for me.

@Somapix

That's usually a red flag.

Almost finished the platinum on Bloodstained Ritual Of The Night then probably doing Castlevania Requiem Symphony Of The Night & Rondo Of Blood next.i am Jumping back and forth between my PS4 Pro & PS5 to work on my backlog I have loads of PS4 era games & new games to get through, and the amount of new games i need to get through. Spend a few months on PS4 Pro & a few months on PS5 etc. I want to go back to play Arkham Asylum, City & Arkham Knight & Bioshock, Bioshock 2 & infinite on my XSX for the Achievements, so of the best games ever made. Also Castlevania Lord's Of Shadows definitely 100% Achievement that to at some point. I wish they would remaster or remake Castlevania Lord's Of Shadows.

What's in the Battle pass how much will it be? How much will the skin's be? I've noticed they've not talked about this yet, not that I've seen anyway. I not really sure about this game, I'll have to see some reviews.

The PlayStation 5 has been out over 3 years now and every upgrade path has released on launch day. How did it not twig for people when Pre-ordering The Last of Us Part 2 you was buying the game for full price £44.99, it's pretty clear. Obviously these people didn't know about the upgrade path and was willing to buy the game again. This is good customer support to upgrade the digital PS4 game to the PS5 version & refund the rest of the money, because these people wouldn't have been any wiser.

I brought the £10 upgrade earlier today but I'll be playing The Last of Us Part 2 PS5 at a later date, as i am playing & platinuming another game at the moment with another game i want to platiunm next. Then I am going for the big one after practicing the game and replying certain missions, Wolfenstein 2 Mein Leben a 10/10 difficulty trophy that makes or brakes the platiunm trophy.

I loved the 1st Dragon's Dogma had it on the PS3 & PS4. Really looking forwards to Dragons Dogma 2. They should collect players data on how they play the game etc, like Microsoft has done with Forza Horizon and implant into the game. It works amazingly on Forza Horizon I don't know why this couldn't be done with other games. AI it definitely the next big upgrade to game's.

Sony should remake the original three Killzone games, Resistance 1,2 and 3 & the original Motorstorm, Motorstorm Pacific Rift and MotorStorm: Apocalypse.Get Bluepoint Games to remake them but with an update control scheme.

@GigaGaia You can play solo, but while in the game you can send out an SOS for other players to dropship in if you want too.

The first game is brilliant this looks even better. I'll be buying Helldivers 2 day one.

It's crazy when you think that within six years Rocksteady released Arkham Asylum, Arkham City & Arkham Knight. Towards nine years and just now releasing Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League. I cannot get over in 2024 you have a game with big purple weak spots, game design from 2010. I'll wait for reviews but sadly I think it'll review around 6-7/10.

People still play the original Helldivers I do as well. So looking forward to Helldivers 2.

I would definitely get Hi-Fi Rush it's a brilliant game I got it on my XSX.

Definitely picking up the DLC. This is really sad news, I own Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Desperados III & Shadow Gambit. Really good games.

@themightyant

That's because it was meant to be DLC and it is DLC, MW2 was meant to have a two year cycle. When have you seen everything from one COD game carry over to the next COD game? Never. All Operators, Operator skin's, weapons, camos, blueprints, attachments etc everything from MW2 is carrying over into MW3. SO everything you've unlocked in MW2 will be unlocked for you in MW3, camos, operators, weapons, attachments etc.

So the theory MW3 is DLC to MW2 looks true then, this more or less confirms that. £69.99 DLC pack 🤫

I'll be platinuming all the MGS Collection games on PS5 then on the PS4, I get to play them a few times love MGS.

Square Enix & Capcom would be well suited for Sony, make it happen.

I thought this would be quite obvious considering Sony has made a 10 year deal with Microsoft. Also Microsoft are no longer thinking of themselves as a "console" brand they are a subscription service, to be on as many devices as possible that's the end goal.

I am definitely getting Spider-Man 2 around Xmas. Mario Wonder & Forza Motorsport I need to pick up too. Spider-Man is a brilliant game. I almost forgot Lords of The Fallen, Jesus there are so many good games out & coming out.

Will you still be able to platinum it after the 30th September?

I was going to get Saint's Row on a sale obviously with the DLC on sale too, £25 max for game & DLC. But all I have to buy inow is the DLC, not too sure about the other two games but apparently Generation Zero is worth playing now in 2023 so I'll just add them to my library.

I don't care what anyone says Bethesda need to drop their in house engine. It's why Starfield is littered with loading screens and invisible wall's. I am still looking forwards to play it on GamePass but will be definitely buying too probably on it's first sale.

@XboxTheBestBox

Backwards compatibility isn't vible Microsoft has proven this by no longer supporting BC. Also BC game's slowly vanishing over the long term. Hell not even Microsoft is willing to renew license on their own first part game to keep Forza Horizon 3 on the digital store for sale. Companies likes Rockstar will not renew licenses for their old game's, when they can port/remaster and pull the original versions.

@XboxTheBestBox

You cannot buy the BC Xbox version anymore, I brought Xbox360 HD collection just before it was taken off the store. So if you want to buy it digitally this new version will be the only version to buy.

The term "Live service" game is if you actually think about it is snake oil. The concept on paper sounds amazing but in reality an impossible task, hence being snake oil. A lot of these live service game's solo purpose is maximum profit over content the secondary purpose. Paid DLC will always have a ton of more care and work put into the content over a live service game, where the only extra money comes from is microtransactions which becomes the main focus. It's a bad business model.

I don't really see this as news. Hiring and laying off people in the gaming industry is the norm.

@LightningLeader

"Why is Xbox not allowed exclusives? Where's all the outcry over ps exclusives coming to Xbox?"

Microsoft just like Sony have always have had exclusives, wether Microsoft has published 1st/2nd party exclusives or brought 3rd party exclusives they've always had exclusives. Sony does release game's on other platforms like Xbox for example.

"Earlier in the court hearing, the executive had said that Microsoft bought Bethesda in the first place to block Sony from securing timed console exclusivity on Starfield."

Buying exclusive content (a game or DLC) is an standard all console manufacture's have done this for generations. But what is out of the norm is buying a publisher to actively hurt your competition, this information could hurt Microsoft deal and rightfully so.

Like only two others have said it was COVID (Lockdowns) that killed E3, this was the time E3 should have went digital but they didn't and let others fill that void.

Will be playing Street Fighter 6 over the weekend, I love Street Fighter. I used to play against my friends winner stays on passing the joypad around, brilliant time's before online domainated and couch co-op ruled.

I'll be there ready to buy day one. PlayStation is the home of Finial Fantasy. Praise the Final Fantasy franchise 😍

Both Diablo 4 & Street Fighter 6 reviewing very well 😍, I didn't play the Beta's for either game on purpose because I like to play the game fresh and finding out about the game myself. It was a bit of a nightmare keeping away from The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom info, it was everywhere. Definitely buying both game's been looking forwards to these game's & obviously FF16.

Unlike GTAV you didn't have to buy the game again, it was a free next-gen upgrade.

Bungie have only made Destiny in the last decade and in that time Destiny 2 & it's Destiny 2 DLC flopped hard, the original Destiny was never a live service game that came latter with Destiny 2 after people had already paid full price for Destiny 2. If Bungie have had success with multiple live service game's I would understand taking advance off one studio but they haven't.

I thought it was alright considering the time of year, I am a bit puzzled why people believe Sony would blow there load in one night showing. Sony has never ever done that, they always the majority of the time have something to announce over multiple events.

Like@KundaliniRising333

It copies certain parts of the data to the consoles HDD/SSD, then reads small certain parts of the data off the disc too.

It makes owning the physical copy pointless, but I suppose that's the point to nudge gamers to the more expensive digital copy. I cannot think of any other reason why it wouldn't be on two discs.
