Who gives a crap if there’s some leaks a week early. Everyone will have it and see everything in a few of days anyway so what does it matter. Those that don’t want spoilers will just have to not watch those videos/read those articles, it’s very easy!
@Rob3008 that’s definitely ironic though I do feel it’s take two’s influence they’ve become like that. Doesn’t matter either way though I guess, is sad to see.
If I worked for those studios I’d be a bit nervous hearing this. Netflix obviously aren’t interested in the gaming side and just hope they’re either sold off separately to someone who is or they actually take it seriously.
This feels like another MS acquisition to me where many could be closed down, projects cancelled. Hope not.
It was actually the cinematography in Ragnarok that put me off it. Felt like they were trying hard to make it film-like and the gameplay was interrupted too many times. Especially with the amount of pointless “squeezing through tight spaces” type situations.
This might have been good for the actor but wasn’t so much for me as a gamer and end user. Not everyone has to be naughty dog and I wonder if there’s internal competition within Sony studios that think they have to make things even more cinematic when to me I just want to play the game, not watch it.
If they really want power efficiency they need to produce their new chip on a 2nm fab process around about where Apple are with their M chips. Consoles typically use older generation fabrications for cost purposes though.
@Steeleye25 yeah square did a good job with the remakes in my opinion. I’m sure you’ll love remake too plus it’ll fill in a bit of the story for your rebirth play through.
I’d recommend getting the interlude version as it has a few more bells and whistles, especially with the yuffie dlc.
I’ve waited 18 years for it so there’s no way I’m playing anything but prime 4 this weekend. It’s better than critics would make you believe in my opinion and the HDR implementation is beautiful, especially at 120fps!
This is good news but sadly I don’t need any more controllers. Sony’s pads rank among the worst for battery life in my experience and it’s a shame this isn’t how they launched.
The sequels are good or sometimes better than the original’s but for some reason I’ve found myself more bored playing them. I think it’s more to do with the open world design though rather than a slight on the game itself.
In terms of first party it’s been underwhelming for me. Third party have filled in the gaps though. Sony seem to have dropped the ball in terms of SP releases while chasing the live service dream.
In terms of hardware I do love my pro. It’s a great bit of kit but due to the seriously long cross gen feel even now we’ve not seen the best of its capabilities.
What’s amazing is tech are just blindly moving forward with AI tech in a lawless fashion, ignoring all the warning signs of how it can be a threat to humankind just because it’s the “next big thing.”
Yes it can be useful but it can also be dangerous.

Re: 'PS5 Pro Gets the Short End of the Stick Again': Fans Gutted New HYPERPOP Console Covers Don't Support Supercharged System
I mean they’re making a mould for the slim, how much harder is it to make one for the pro? The design’s already complete.
I don’t like the way Sony make me feel shafted.
Re: Big Updates on Massive Xbox Games, Bound for PS5, Later This Month
Looking forward to seeing what they’ve done with fable but my real wish list is forza for switch 2.
Re: PS5's Hyperpop Collection Adds Three Striking New Colours for DualSense, Console Covers
Damn you Sony, we pay more for your pro console and you treat us like this! You really know how to treat your customers, not.

Is sad to see after naughty dog being on top of the world during the ps3/4 era.
Re: Tomb Raider Game Reveals Seem to Leak Ahead of The Game Awards
“Leaks” are often a marketing tool. Geoff probably leaked it himself lol

@SoulChimera great minds think alike, you beat me to it!
Re: Want a Three Minute Slot During The Game Awards? That'll Be $1 Million, Please
@Oram77 I still don’t think I’ve ever seen such blatant product placement with Geoff and his Doritos 😂

Re: 'The Franchise Has Not Met Your Expectations': Call of Duty Vows to Overdeliver After Black Ops 7 Misfire
They must really be freaking out internally to come out and make these comments.
Re: Sony Hypes Halo PS5 in Its Hot Games of 2026 Trailer
Only really interested in forza, ms flight sim and south of midnight from them, so 2 out of 3 isn’t bad!
Re: Rumour: Dead Space Is 'On Ice', Could Be Sold Off to Help Cover EA's Acquisition Debt
Isn’t the corporate world wonderful! You sell your company which then gets riddled in debt. Someone somewhere is making good coin out of this.
Re: Sony Allegedly Encouraging Devs to Use PS5's New Low Power Mode, Prompting Fresh PS6 Handheld Speculation
If they really want power efficiency they need to produce their new chip on a 2nm fab process around about where Apple are with their M chips. Consoles typically use older generation fabrications for cost purposes though.
Re: The Game Awards 2025 Predictions: PS5 Games, the Muppets, and Geoff Keighley's Shoes
@BIG3 they prefer to throw Doritos at Geoff.
Re: 'It's a Huge Upgrade': PS5 Pro Poised to Improve Massively in 2026
Looking forward to this update just hope developers update their games for the pro a second time which for some could be a big ask.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 610
@Puketapu that’s fair enough, rebirth is definitely more open world so maybe that’s why you prefer it?

@Steeleye25 good to hear you’re enjoying rebirth is a great game! Did you not play remake first though?
Re: New PS5 Controllers Said to Be Optimised for Better Battery Life
@Meowmixes98 I definitely would too, why haven’t they done that? I’d even pay an extra 10 for it lol
Re: PS5 Dominates UK on Black Friday, Sells More Than 60% of All Consoles
Sony did a great job with deals this year putting its competitors to shame. Nintendo and Xbox were as stingy as some stingy thing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 610
I’ve waited 18 years for it so there’s no way I’m playing anything but prime 4 this weekend. It’s better than critics would make you believe in my opinion and the HDR implementation is beautiful, especially at 120fps!
Sorry Sony I’m nintendo’s this weekend…
Re: Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat Publisher Warner Bros Bought for $82 Billion by Netflix
Let’s see if it goes down like the Microsoft acquisition with layoffs, closed studios and game cancellations on the gaming side.
Re: New PS5 Controllers Said to Be Optimised for Better Battery Life
This is good news but sadly I don’t need any more controllers. Sony’s pads rank among the worst for battery life in my experience and it’s a shame this isn’t how they launched.

@invictus4000 cool, how come it’s out of the china hero project?
Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator PS5 Trophies Want You Racking Up the Air Miles for the Platinum
@themightyant thanks for the info, much appreciated!
I’ll be picking this up either way but would prefer a bigger upfront install so we’ll see I guess.
Having said that I haven’t got any spare 2.5 petabyte drives lying around anyway 😂
Re: PS5 Players Ponder Avowed Port as Xbox RPG Delays Its 'Biggest Update Yet'
Would rather have south of midnight. You know, if I had the choice!
Re: Microsoft Flight Simulator PS5 Trophies Want You Racking Up the Air Miles for the Platinum
Anyone know how much is included on the disc? I’m not keen on 400gb downloads.
With MS’s track record on PlayStation I’m guessing it could be 100mb 😂
Re: Ghost of Yotei Gets 'Incredible' PS5 Pro Frame Rate Boost Thanks to New Patch
@Frmknst I find 235 fps is the sweet spot
Re: Rumour: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time PS5 Remake Out as Early as 16th January
Really looking forward to seeing this. Haven’t played it since it came out but if they’ve improved the combat I’ll especially be happy.
Re: PS5 Open World Where Winds Meet Teases Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Vehicle Building Mechanics
Looking forward to trying this out. I enjoyed the building in Zelda more than i thought I would.
Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
@PuppetMaster yes agreed, if only there was more time!
Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
@AhmadSumadi yes that’s true as I play too many games!
Re: Going Platinum #1: Rocket League
Nice idea Stephen and a very good read. I have the same relationship with trophies as you!
Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
@AhmadSumadi why limit yourself? You can love PlayStation and Nintendo at the same time. It’s not just one or the other lol
Re: PS5 Is Edging Out the Switch 2 in the UK So Far This Year
I’m glad my two platforms of choice are doing well!
Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?
The sequels are good or sometimes better than the original’s but for some reason I’ve found myself more bored playing them. I think it’s more to do with the open world design though rather than a slight on the game itself.

Re: Poll: Five Years of PS5 - How Would You Rate Sony's Console?
In terms of first party it’s been underwhelming for me. Third party have filled in the gaps though. Sony seem to have dropped the ball in terms of SP releases while chasing the live service dream.
In terms of hardware I do love my pro. It’s a great bit of kit but due to the seriously long cross gen feel even now we’ve not seen the best of its capabilities.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Just Had the Worst Japanese Retail Launch in Series History
That’s really low but not surprising. The Japanese console market really isn’t as healthy as it used to be.
Also interesting ps3/4 cross gen was 1 year, the ps4/5 cross gen 5 years!
Re: Don't Expect Intergalactic PS5 to Launch Until at Least 2027
I miss the days of the ps2 generation when we’d get 3 new gta’s in the console life span.
Lucky if we get one release per studio these days.
Re: Quick Thinking from Sony Should Shield PS5 from RAM Shortages for Now

Re: Stellar Blade Fans Rejoice: Developer Shift Up Now Recruiting for 'Next Work' in the Series
