I picked this up on Xbox One dirt cheap couple of years ago. I played about an hour recently and then rumors came out about a remaster, so I stopped playing. Will get it on PS5 to play the new better version. Glad I waited.
Sony used to have dirt cheap deals but the sales in the past year have not been as great as in the years before. Does anyone remember the $5 deals on AAA games back in the day or that 99 cent deal way way back? Now we are lucky to see games for $10, unless it is some Indie.
I have an Xbox One and I will be buying this for my PS5 to play the PS4 version. Honestly, I am not a fan of Xbox game pass for this simple reason. Sometimes games sit in my digital library for years before I get around to play them, and games rotate in and out of game pass which would put too much pressure for me to play right now and not whenever I feel like it. Although 1st party games probably don't rotate out like 3rd party games.
I started playing it single player on PS4. Played about 6 hours. Then I got a PS5 and put the game on temporary hold to see if Rockstar announces pS5 version. If nothing by end of year, will go back to it. I can see myself spending hundreds of hours on this game.
Games like this will be perfect for Switch to play on the go, while GTA5/6 are better on PS5. If only these GTA games came on the poor Vita a couple of years ago.
Valve just announced Steam Deck. Now we will be able to play Sony games (pc versions) in handheld. I loved Vita, so somehow I feel that Sony dropped the ball again here somewhere by not having a Vita 2 and by bringing Sony games to PC.
Timed exclusives are dumb for Sony and Microsoft. I am always willing to wait a year. If it was current console generation exclusive, that would be a better deal for Sony
Bluepoint and Housemarque are great acquisitions for Sony but not on a level of ZeniMax (Bethesda, Id, Arkane, Machinegames, Tango Gameworks). And Microsoft just came off with getting Double Fine, inXile, Ninja Theory and Obsidian. Sony did have a huge win getting Insomniac. I do think this is a great start, but Sony needs a huge purchase like Sega or Square Enix, or maybe buying Silent Hill and Metal Gear Solid from Konami. This would help Sony to stay dominant. I love Sony and have had every PS system and handheld up to PS5, but they need to get a couple of more studios to answer Microsoft.
There are several groups of players. This includes pc only players, combo pcconsole payers and console only players. It doesn't matter to me whether an Xbox, PS, or Nintendo games are on PC because I will always play the console version.
I love games but my gaming skills are below average. Why should I be denied a normal or easy option? Dark Souls players can always Play on higher difficulty and let me play and enjoy on mine. Every time I hear Souls like and the game doesn't have a lower difficulty, I end up not getting the game, even though it looks interesting.
I am with Jim on this one. PS1 and PS2 games aged terribly. They should remaster or remake the good ones. And I have owned every Sony console and handheld.
God of War Ragnarok is coming in 2022, I presume several months into it. That is another year for PS5 units to sell. Is Sony still expecting to have PS5 shortages in 2022? If, yes, what the heck. By 2022, there should be less folks who choose not to have a PS5 and only have a PS4. I understand this year (2021), but Sony should be concentrating on PS5 games. PS5 games should not be limited by PS4 limitations.
Days Gone was one of my most favorite PS4 games. I would love a follow up, but Sony/Bend won't allow it. Imagine what a sequel would do with the horde mode on PS5.
I think the issue is that I am a fat guy and I presume many folks (female and male) are too. The last thing we want to play is a fat face character (male or female) to remind us of ourselves. I don't want her to look like the female on the right photo (and how would there be make up in that time period?), but make her look a little better.

Re: Alan Wake Remastered (PS5) - Compelling Thriller Derailed by Tedious, Repetitive Combat
Ouch. A beloved classic with such a low score. Seems rather harsh. I mean this game was one of the reasons to own a 360 back in the day.

Re: If We Have to See Struggling, a Grotesque Co-Op Platformer Coming to PS4, Then So Do You
It looks fine to me, kind of like the setting. Hoping that trying to control the character won't make me want to throw the controller in frustration.
