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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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.
Not sure what this is about but I think I have an idea going off these comments. It was only the other week people where mad that a cartoon that's being made into a film is casting a woman with lighter skin colour than the cartoon character. Identify politics bleeds into everything.
Thank god it's a PS5 exclusive where the loading times are minimal, these sorts of games with long loading times on the PS4 are a pain in the butt. I am playing some of my backlog Remnant From The Ashes which is the same sort of structure main hub and smaller hub world's all broken up by loading times. Good game but loading time, the only good thing about it is if you die you'll loaded back in fast.
People getting triggered over his comment lol 😂. But he is 100% right "FF16 only possible on the PlayStation 5" because he is obviously saying being on a PLAYSTATION Website, working on a PLAYSTATION timed exclusive game the game wouldn't be possible on the PS4.
It's not Sony's fualt Microsoft turned down Street Fighter 5 hence Sony funded Street Fighter 5, and as for FF when has Microsoft give a crap about FF that has a long history with PlayStation. Your saying Microsoft without buying publishers cannot make their own first party game's, I actually agree with that statement the last generation proves that.
He is right GamePass price will 100% go up in the new few years. It's not just about the $69 billion, development studios cost money to run Microsoft just got a lot more of them and I would imagine they'll do what they've did the other month let go a certain amount of Dev's from certain studios.
A common sense reply especially considering Mercenaries would used to release day and date with the game you brought, but then again it is 2023 where common sense has gone out of the window.
"Console manufacturer secures exclusive content for it's platform like other console manufacturers."
The devil is in the detail this statement is a false equivalence. Funding or buying exclusivity on a game from an independent dev or another publishers is very different to buying out a publisher.
You can now see why Microsoft couldn't make backwards compatibility work, sort term it worked fine but not so much for the long term. I was so lucky buying Forza Horizon 3 when I did I went to buy the DLC a few months after buying the game, no longer available nor was the full game and that was one of Microsoft own first party game's. Same as Metal Gear Soild HD Collection I bought it a few months later you could no longer buy it, I brought most of the BC game's I wanted just incase they vanish at some point.
Ashame but that's life and death is apart of life, and it's going to happen to everyone at some point so make the most out of your life and make peace with death. Time is a matter of perspective and that perspective will change the older you get.
While I like the Last Of Us 2 I do agree TLOU has the best story wise, it's a far more less predictable story obviously unless you've played it. While the Last Of Us 2 story is given away within the first 30 minutes. I hope ND are working on a new IP & do what Guerrilla Games did, a new IP totally different to TLOU or Uncharted.
