Completed it when it originally came out and had no interest in the remake until I saw the trailer and have to say I’m now tempted. Might grab it in a sale…
Can’t MS see what a joke they’re making of themselves? If you look holistically at all the things they’ve said versus the things they’ve done including the 180’s it’s like a badly written soap opera.
Their lack of direction is embarrassing to the point that I’m embarrassed for them.
Yeah the Galaxy movie was weak (with the exception of mini Bowser) but for some reason with Zelda being live action I have a small amount of optimism it'll end up better.
The thing is xbox has struggled to compete with Playstation over 4 generations with only the 360 coming close. However since then they've bought a massive amount of developers and IP and it puts them in a position to genuinely compete with Sony.
Not only that buy Gamepass clearly isn't the cash cow they thought it'd be but they have the output to make xbox desirable if they go exclusive. Whether additional sales made from doing that would cover and exceed sales lost from playstation who knows but they're probably the numbers MS is looking at.
@DennisReynolds I agree, story’s in games are usually laughable anyway to the point I skip most cutscenes and dialogue these days rather than listen to a load of waffle.
Not played crimson desert yet but for me the lack of story work probably be a bonus.
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!

Re: Lords of the Fallen 2's Idea of Female Armour Is Downright Embarrassing
@THEBrew you’re right this place does seem to be following the ign road lately.
Re: Lords of the Fallen 2's Idea of Female Armour Is Downright Embarrassing
What I don’t understand is why some games get away with being reported on about things like this while others get singled out and picked on.
Re: Poll: One Year Later, Did Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Deserve All the Praise?
Brilliant game second only last year to donkey Kong for me.

Re: Xbox Will 'Reevaluate' Its Game Exclusivity, Throwing Potential Doubt Over PS5 Ports
@Krlozgod yes exactly. I didn't mean she hasn't taken any action just that her actions will do the talking...
Re: Xbox Will 'Reevaluate' Its Game Exclusivity, Throwing Potential Doubt Over PS5 Ports
Asha seems cool and she appears to have made positive moves so far but damn I'm fed up of the constant talk, talk and talk.
Surely she knows actions speak louder than words?
Re: Microsoft Surely Kicking Itself for Not Having Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 Ready for Next Month's Launch
@nessisonett I'm secretly hoping they're saving 4 for a Switch 2 release as I'd love that on the move...
Re: Microsoft Surely Kicking Itself for Not Having Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 Ready for Next Month's Launch
@Waa-Laa true, I say I'll wait for a sale but the reality is I'll probably get it day. one when th hype kicks in haha
Re: Microsoft Surely Kicking Itself for Not Having Forza Horizon 6 on PS5 Ready for Next Month's Launch
FH5 is still fresh in my memory so I'm happy to wait for 6 and even better a sale at some point!

Re: PS5's Phantom Blade Zero Gets Even Better with Drunken Sword Gameplay, Insane Motion Capture
@Mes_Urson yep Drunken Master the game!
Re: Rumoured PS5 State of Play Looking Impossible This Week
Somehow we’re only about 6 weeks away from June so can’t see a show happening before the summer now personally…
Re: After Critics Panned Super Mario Galaxy Movie, Maybe Sony's Legend of Zelda Film Can Pull It Back
Yeah the Galaxy movie was weak (with the exception of mini Bowser) but for some reason with Zelda being live action I have a small amount of optimism it'll end up better.
Really hope so anyway!
Re: Capcom's Already the Year's Best PS5 Publisher, and It's Only April
Love seeing Capcom back on top as well as Konami back in the game.

Re: Bloodborne Is Officially Returning in Major Animated Movie, and a Big YouTube Personality Is Involved
FFS... those first 4 words of the title got my heart racing.
Re: Pragmata (PS5) - Brilliant Combat Is the Star of Yet Another Capcom PS5 Hit
@Dalamar no it really feels like Capcom are in a league of their own this gen.
Re: Rumour: Call of Duty's $300 Million Xbox Game Pass Gambit Could End
MS obviously just (incorrectly) assumed so many people would sign up for GP if they added COD it'd offset their losses from sales.
That never materialised and now the cracks definitely seem to be growing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 627
Darwin’s Paradox & Tears of the Kingdom for me, good times!
Re: Uncharted Fans Think a Social Post Is Evidence of New PS5 Entry
At the rate Sony’s getting SP releases out these days guess we might see this in 2036…
Re: MindsEye Going Off the Deep End with In-Game Mission Revealing 'Evidence' of 'Sabotage'
I'd be interested to see this evidence so why hide it behind a game level that I'm not likely to see?
Re: Re-Releases Go Too Far with New PS5 Version of Darksiders 1
Ok so the future is going to consist of every game being “remastered” for every generation. Whoopie

@Brigurugi that feels so accurate 😂

Re: 'I Have Done So Much for This Company': Axed Fortnite Dev Can't Believe He's Been Laid Off
@tselliot yes HR are there to protect the company not the workforce.
Re: PS5 Players Seemingly Skip Marathon as Sales Estimates Look Very Weak
Still can’t believe they spent 3 billion on Bungie, madness.
Re: 'I Have Done So Much for This Company': Axed Fortnite Dev Can't Believe He's Been Laid Off
It sucks but sadly we are all disposable and replaceable.
Company's make a big fuss to your face about how valuable you are and then in the blink of an eye... see ya!
Re: PlayStation's Disastrous First-Party Leadership Culminates in Yet Another Studio Closure
That's a terrible list for just the PS5 generation. Herman must be holding on by the skin of his teeth.
Sony are so confusing in how they invest in things and drop them so quickly such as these studios, PSVR2, Vita etc. They're masters at wasting money.

@Othatguy it’s fine to not want the pro, it’s not for everyone.
Re: PS6 Rival Xbox Helix Could Cost as Much as $1,200
Yep the new xbox looks like part of the plan to get xbox console players over to PC for inclusion into Windows gaming...
Re: 'This Should Be Illegal': PS5's Dynamic Pricing Roundly Criticised by Disgusted Sony Fans
This does nothing to convert me towards digital, in fact it makes physical even more appealing.
Sony this is poor regardless.
Re: PS5 Players Can Finally Explore This Award-Winning Xbox Gem
Yeah I'm down if there's a physical release...
Re: Sony Confirms Big PS5 Pro Upgrade Is Out in March, Better PSSR Upscaler
Cool!
So does this just work out of the box or do devs need to patch their games in to support it?
Re: Kena: Scars of Kosmora Is Now Available for Wishlist on PS Store and PC
Looking forward to this one and it definitely looks levelled up from the first game.
Just hope they've added a way to swim faster though. It was painfully slow in the original lol
Re: PS5 Pro Upgrade Details Spotted, as Sony Patents PSSR 2.0 Tech
Cool hopefully this’ll drop the same day as the pro face plates!?
Re: Yet Another Live Service Game Bites the Dust, But PS5 Players Get a Full Refund
Honestly I do feel these publishers would be better off betting red or black down the casino than investing in live service games.

@PuppetMaster thanks buddy
Re: This New Co-Op Stealth Action Game from ACQUIRE Brings Tenchu Vibes to PS5
Is this coop only or SP also?
Re: Pokémon Dev's Gorgeous PS5 Action RPG Beast of Reincarnation Conjures a 4th August Release
Keeping an eye on this for sure. Agree with others too - why don’t they make a quality looking Pokémon at this level?
Re: God of War Trilogy Remake Announced for PS5
I hope it’s fixed camera like the OG’s
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for February 2026?
Best one in a very long time that’s for sure.
Re: Mewgenics Is This Year's Best-Rated Game So Far, and It May Come to PS5
I’m sure this will end up on ps5 and switch 2. I’m in if it does!

I might try these out just for fun to mop up the side stuff I couldn’t be bothered with before!
Re: Sony Finally Confirms Horizon Co-Op Game, Horizon Hunters Gathering for PS5, PC
@BamBamBaklava89 yeah it’s almost like Sony wanted it buried under the news of the Nintendo direct!
Re: Rumour: GTA 6 Might Not Launch Physically at First to Avoid Leaks

I can’t wait to be even more professional on my pro
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.
