This would be amazing! I have no idea how many times I went through those games on Xbox. It was a lot. Also, they'd better bring Ashley Eckstein back as Mission, and Raphael Sbarge as Carth. I will accept no other voices.
Sounds like there are still some issues. I think I'll give it a little more time, maybe wait for the first decent discount. I've been waiting a while for this, so I can do a bit longer.
Yeah, this was a massive miss. The controls are clunky and the game just isn't fun. After this and lame Bugsnax, I'll be pretty suspicious of PS5 Plus announcements.
I was interested in Uncharted until Holland started talking about what a "cool, stoic" guy his Drake is. The Nate I know is a smarmy, wisecracking dork. I am however, and unrelatedly, hopeful for Mortal Kombat in a couple of weeks.
@Futureshark I booted up Ratchet & Clank the other day to check out the patch, and noticed no difference, which was weird because 30 vs 60 is usually night and day.
I'm curious about it. I liked the combat in the little bit of the demo that I played, but the constant, boring cut scenes drove me nuts. I played The Division 2 for maybe 10-12 hours before losing interest, and hated the Avengers gameplay loop. Should I give this a miss?
Seems weird that such a seemingly simple game has had so many delays. Of course a lot of Lego games are bugfests (I never did beat the final boss of Pirates of the Caribbean because it crashed every single time), so more development time can hopefully only help. I'm really looking forward to this though.
Eh, a miss for me. I'll definitely check out Oddworld, but I really disliked what I played of Days Gone (and already own it through PS Collection) and ZA4 isn't my thing. Which is all fine, since I'm playing catch up anyway.
@Number09 What? I have all of the Bioshocks and most of the Assassin's Creeds along with Bully downloaded on my PS5. I'm sure several of those others are available as well. If you're so interested in the classics, keep your old consoles and buy physical. You can't expect generations old storefronts to run in perpetuity.
@RBMango Fair enough. I thought Chloe's attitude was understandable, and really liked getting to know Rachel Amber. The talkback thing was inconsequential, but didn't detract from anything in my opinion. To each his own. 👍
I played through it on PS5 and enjoyed it, but it isn't remarkable enough to give it another run whenever the upgrade releases. Just a disappointment all around. Still wondering about that Witcher 3 upgrade though...
I think the likely translation is, "Everything not currently nearing the end of production." They didn't drop that cash just to see heavy hitters like Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Doom sell big on PS5. Unlike most, it seems, I really enjoyed Fallout 4, but I won't pick up an XB to play the next. Although Sony needs to start picking up some RPG devs before Microsoft snatches them all.
I'm about 8 hours in, and it truly is a fantastic game. I always liked Yakuza, but the formula was tired. This was a bold step in the right direction. It should be noted too that the English voice track is on point as well.
Anyone else unimpressed with the upgrade? The animation is jerky as hell, the resolution is a bit fuzzy. I had to double check that I was playing the correct version. It doesn't look like anything the PS4 couldn't do.
I have the standard disc version and upgraded just fine. Looking forward to starting it after work. Hopefully they can get this mess straightened out for every one else. The store is in dire need of an overhaul.
The combat was decent, but I couldn't take more than a few seconds of each cut scene, which the demo is BURSTING with, and kept skipping them. That caused my interest to drop pretty quickly.
@LordSteev You don't have to do anything. I've carried the same account over from 3 to 4 to 5. All you do is sign in on the new console and you're done.
@jcvandan Control scheme is tight. There is a curve to building custom coasters, but I was really pleasantly surprised by how it all handles. I have it on PS5 and love it.
I'm chomping at the bit honestly. I was only vaguely interested in FFVIIR and it ended up being game of the year for me. I can't wait to see where they take it.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus Expanding with PlayStation Plus Video Pass
Yeah, I'm going to take a pass on this. I've got streaming services out the wazoo. I want better games access if any changes are coming.

Re: Retro Platformer Savage Halloween's Release Date Trailer Doesn't Have a Release Date in It
Isn't it a release date trailer because it's a trailer that came out on the release date?
Re: Mass Effect Legendary Edition Graphics Comparison Shows Some Massive Improvements
Yes, sir. Looking fine. Damn fine. One of my favorite series of all time, containing one of my favorite games of all time (ME2). One more month...

Re: Oddworld: Soulstorm (PS5) - A Tough Game to Love
Yeah, this was a massive miss. The controls are clunky and the game just isn't fun. After this and lame Bugsnax, I'll be pretty suspicious of PS5 Plus announcements.

Re: PS Plus Freebie Zombie Army 4: Dead War Upgraded to 4K, 60 Frames-Per-Second on PS5
@Futureshark I booted up Ratchet & Clank the other day to check out the patch, and noticed no difference, which was weird because 30 vs 60 is usually night and day.
Re: Star Wars Republic Commando Is Back, and Here's The Launch Trailer
It's pretty solid. There's very little feedback when you're hitting a target. You just kind of hold the fire button until something falls down.
Re: Outriders' People Can Fly to Post-Mortem PS5, PS4 Server Woes
I'm curious about it. I liked the combat in the little bit of the demo that I played, but the constant, boring cut scenes drove me nuts. I played The Division 2 for maybe 10-12 hours before losing interest, and hated the Avengers gameplay loop. Should I give this a miss?

Uh. Yeah. Good luck with all...that.
Re: Soapbox: My Colleagues Bet on How Far I'd Make It Through Final Fantasy VII Remake
I thought it was a masterpiece, but to each his own I guess. I GUESS.
Re: LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga Delayed Beyond Spring 2021
Seems weird that such a seemingly simple game has had so many delays. Of course a lot of Lego games are bugfests (I never did beat the final boss of Pirates of the Caribbean because it crashed every single time), so more development time can hopefully only help.

Re: PS5 Open World Watch Dogs Legion Will Run at 60 Frames-Per-Second in the Future
It's a shame that every single frame will still be a boring, lifeless slog.
Re: PS Plus April 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Eh, a miss for me. I'll definitely check out Oddworld, but I really disliked what I played of Days Gone (and already own it through PS Collection) and ZA4 isn't my thing. Which is all fine, since I'm playing catch up anyway.

Re: Balan Wonderworld Contains Potentially Dangerous Flashing Imagery Before Day One Patch
@Profondo The article says it's a glitch. How is that "purposely (by design)"? Game designers aren't looking to trigger seizures for funsies...

Re: Ghost of Tsushima Movie Announced with John Wick Director at the Helm
@nessisonett Kill Bill may be the closest thing, but that's a mix of a lot of different styles.
Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Cosplay Performance Is Impressively Accurate
I love this. Ichiban's hairstyle needs to be a little more blown out, but they look fantastic.
Re: Poll: What Free PS4 Games Are You Most Excited to Play?
I already have HZD and Moss. I'm looking forward to Astrobot and my son wants to try Thumper.
Re: Life Is Strange Remastered Collection Adds Full Facial Mocap on PS5, PS4
@RBMango Fair enough. I thought Chloe's attitude was understandable, and really liked getting to know Rachel Amber. The talkback thing was inconsequential, but didn't detract from anything in my opinion. To each his own. 👍
Re: Instead of a New Tomb Raider Game, Here's a Cookbook
Jesus, what? Why make this announcement part of the show? So, so weird.
Re: Life Is Strange Remastered Collection Adds Full Facial Mocap on PS5, PS4
@RBMango Why, if you don't mind my asking? I loved Before the Storm just as much as the original.
Re: When Is the Square Enix Presents Livestream?
@Rob_230 They have to whip everyone's expectations into a frenzy so they can get those clicks later by raging about how Square dropped the ball.
Re: CDPR's Blockbuster RPG Cyberpunk 2077 Now Nearing Three Months Missing from PS Store
I played through it on PS5 and enjoyed it, but it isn't remarkable enough to give it another run whenever the upgrade releases. Just a disappointment all around. Still wondering about that Witcher 3 upgrade though...
Re: Some Crash Bandicoot 4 Players Unable to Upgrade to PS5 Version
So how many times is this going to happen before Sony overhauls the process? There's obviously some unresolved issues.
Re: Outriders Demo Was a 'Rollercoaster of Emotions' for People Can Fly
@rumple1980 I could. Or the developers could make them more compelling so players don't want to.
Re: Outriders Demo Was a 'Rollercoaster of Emotions' for People Can Fly
Can they do something about the overlong, ugly cutscenes though?
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge Is a Brand New Side-Scrolling Beat-'Em-Up
I'm good for another shot at a TMNT game, but did it have to be in the 80's toon style? Why not base it on the modern comics?
Re: Bethesda Says 'Some' Future Games Won't Launch on PS5, PS4
I think the likely translation is, "Everything not currently nearing the end of production." They didn't drop that cash just to see heavy hitters like Elder Scrolls, Fallout and Doom sell big on PS5.
Unlike most, it seems, I really enjoyed Fallout 4, but I won't pick up an XB to play the next. Although Sony needs to start picking up some RPG devs before Microsoft snatches them all.
Re: Mini Review: Yakuza: Like a Dragon (PS5) - Not a Huge Upgrade, But Still a Brilliant RPG
I'm about 8 hours in, and it truly is a fantastic game. I always liked Yakuza, but the formula was tired. This was a bold step in the right direction. It should be noted too that the English voice track is on point as well.
Re: Marvel's Avengers Will Nerf Level Progression When PS5 Version Launches
That's nuts. It already felt like it took forever to level. I already wasn't coming back, guys, you don't have to keep giving me reasons.
Re: PS Store Essential Picks Sale Has a Long List of Cheap PS4 Games
@phil_j I'd say yes. It's jankier to be sure, but I enjoyed the setting and characters and the combat is decent.
Re: Yakuza: Like a Dragon Free PS5 Upgrade Now Available
Anyone else unimpressed with the upgrade? The animation is jerky as hell, the resolution is a bit fuzzy. I had to double check that I was playing the correct version. It doesn't look like anything the PS4 couldn't do.
Re: PS5 Players Unable to Upgrade Yakuza: Like a Dragon for Free
I have the standard disc version and upgraded just fine. Looking forward to starting it after work. Hopefully they can get this mess straightened out for every one else. The store is in dire need of an overhaul.
Re: Hands On: Incredibly Rough Outriders Demo Kills Our Hope for This Looter Shooter's Launch
The combat was decent, but I couldn't take more than a few seconds of each cut scene, which the demo is BURSTING with, and kept skipping them. That caused my interest to drop pretty quickly.
Re: It's a Big Month for Free PS4 to PS5 Upgrades
@Orochilocka What? It totally is. Or better be, since I just bought the PS4 version on Amazon in anticipation of the upgrade.
Re: Outriders PS5, PS4 Demo Available to Download Now
@LordSteev You don't have to do anything. I've carried the same account over from 3 to 4 to 5. All you do is sign in on the new console and you're done.
Re: PS Plus Members Think Final Fantasy VII Remake May Be Free in March
I'd love another playthrough, so that would be awesome. Doubtful though.
Re: Huge PS Store Indie Sale Discounts Lots of Smaller PS5, PS4 Games
I picked up Night in the Woods, Oxenfree and Chicken Police for 26 bucks. Good deal, and the backlog grows.
Re: Huge PS Store Indie Sale Discounts Lots of Smaller PS5, PS4 Games

Re: Outriders Demo: Start Times, What's Included, and Unlocks
Free demo! I'll try a demo of just about anything, and can't believe more aren't released. I'm actually curious about this one too.
Re: Next-Gen The Sinking City Launches on 19th February for PS5
The combat absolutely ruined this game for me. If that's not tweaked I'll have to take a pass.
Re: Marvel's Avengers PS5 Version Coming 18th March with Hawkeye Expansion
I won't pick it up again unless they do something to change the post-campaign gameplay loop. What an absolute drag. Not even Spidey will entice me.
Re: Final Fantasy VII Remake Director Compares Series Evolution to Horizon Forbidden West

Now follow that up with a PlayStation Plus free-to-play announcement.
Re: The Last of Us TV Show Casts The Mandalorian Star as Joel
Neat. I'm actually digging this outside-the-box casting.
Re: This Is Who Will Play Ellie in The Last of Us TV Show
She doesn't look much like Ellie, but she ruled on GoT, so I won't complain.
