I do have the plat for this. Spent a fair few hours on it before realising its would be possible, so in much the same way I didn’t set out to earn it. But it’s a great game and what I think makes a great plat - one you can simply earn just by playing, not by going out of your way to do strange things.
Absolutely loved the first one but the second one kept overheating my PS5 regularly (only game to do so) so I could never get into it. Hoping this one is playable for me as they are great games.
@Templedoom Excellent point. I think most people show by their comments they couldn’t care less about developers though. Devil’s Advocate to that argument of course is that businesses don’t care about consumers either, so it goes both ways.
On the other hand, the bonus is you can sell the game on after playing it. You’ll recoup some of the cost, and person buying it from you gets a cheaper game and the devs get nothing. Can’t sell on a digital purchase. So there is a slight upside to the consumer regardless of what’s on the disk.
Reminds me of the very much underrated Wolverine Origins game, which is exactly what I wanted it to be. Excellent.
Wouldn’t class any of this as gameplay though, so would be excited to see some actual footage. This just looks like all the Finisher moves sliced together.
No interest in Saros or Tokon, so I hope there’s something else new besides Wolverine. Will be interested to see some new potential big releases for 26/27.
Games are just released unfinished these days. Never worth a day 1 purchase when you can get the fixed thing at half the price 6 months later. If that means the developers miss out on revenue then they should just release a game that works.
@rachetmarvel I would delighted for it to be a good movie. I love the IP. I’m not saying they shouldn’t be doing it.
However realistically there are 17 listed characters, some portrayed by wrestlers/MMA stars, based on a game which sole premise is ‘people fight’. It doesn’t bode well for good acting, character development or plot. Previous game/movie adaptations inc the old Street Fighter and more notably Mortal Kombat, lead my expectations to be that this will be a cheesy action movie and nothing more.
Where is the line crossed when Devs go from optimistic vision of what they will deliver, to just plain lies about what they can do.
I don’t know if selling their future game on "cinematic brilliance, [an] innovative game creation system, and a constant stream of fresh premium content" is just misguided optimism, incompetence, or deliberately misleading.
I thought it was dreadful and my excitement for the game has plummeted. Just flashy headache nonsense with no real sense of racing like Transformed (or Mario or CTR) had. Saved me a purchase anyway.
@get2sammyb Ah yeah I’m sure I read about it on Time Extension or something months and months ago and then forgot it was a thing.
I remember the Acclaim logo with a lot of nostalgia so will be interesting to see what they come up with.
Anyone remember the campaign to legally change your name to Turok to win prizes? (And how it later turned out that the ‘winners’ were all actors and the proposed name changes were all fake?)
Do we think this will go a bit like Multiversus? Release in early access, everyone will play it, it will generate loads of hype.
Then stop for 6 months. Release the ‘final’ version which will shortly die because half the people will have already tried it and not liked it, and the other half won’t be interested now the hype has gone.
Wanted some good Gunplay but going back to Destiny 2 is just impossible now, it’s so oversaturated with menus and items and currencies and overlapping UIs. So I started a new Borderlands 3 play through which is going well.

Is a shame. I never got round to playing this, I was sort of waiting for Wreckfest 2 tbh.
Re: Over 10.5 Million Concurrent Players Show Up for Avengers: Endgame-Esque Fortnite Event
Haters gonnna hate, but it was suitably epic and very enjoyable. The minority love to rag on Fortnite but damn does it keep things fresh.
Re: Geoff Keighley's Cryptic Post Has Fans Speculating Wildly About The Game Awards Announcement
These cryptic hints are always for reveals that are far less exciting than what everyone actually wants.
Bloodborne, God of War, HL3, New Vegas remake… but it’ll probably only be a teaser trailer for the new Fallout Series 2.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 609
Still on Power Washer 2. Nothing else getting a look in.
Re: Talking Point: Does PS5 Have a Sequel Problem?
Do you know what’s rubbish? A sequel that takes away everything that people loved about the original.
Re: Skate Improves Replays, Adds New Tricks, Party Voice Chat, More in Season 2 on PS5, PS4
Good update, but one of the worst most cringe trailers I’ve ever seen.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 608
Having a very relaxing time with Power Washer 2.
Re: Sony's PS Plus Premium Offer for PSVR2 Games Seems to Die Next Month
I still only have an original PSVR so to be honest I wish they put more of those games on there, nevermind PSVR2 ones.
Re: Talking Point: The Game Awards 2025 Nominations Announced: Who Are Your Winners?
Why is sports and racing the same category? Bit weird.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 606
I’m going out out tonight, but I hope to fit in a bit of Simpsons Fortnite and proceed on my replay of Ghost of Tsushima.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for November 2025 Announced
I’ll take the WRC game! Just finished WRC Generations so hopefully it’s similar to that.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 604
Ball x Pit.
I cannot be stopped.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for October 2025?
If you’re not a horror fan then its pretty awful. October is more than just Halloween.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 603
Ball x Pit. I’ve been sucked in!
Re: Mini Review: Ball X Pit (PS5) - A Fiendishly Compelling Mix of Vampire Survivors and Breakout
Tried the demo. Smashed out the entire hour in one sitting. Immediately purchased.
Great game, and demo doing exactly what it’s meant to.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 602
Going to play the free trial of Black Ops 6 and complete the campaign, if I can work out how to download it!
Re: Dead Space's Isaac Clarke Is Now in Skate, And He Costs More Than His PS5 Remake
@Boxmonkey More like Macro-transactions.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 601
Deep Rock Galactic.
ROCK AND STONE!!
Re: Promising Mountaineering Adventure Cairn Delays the Climb to Early 2026 on PS5
I really liked the demo of this, but it did need some polish, so I can understand the delay.
Was like a mix of Jusant meets The Climb VR.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 600
Dipping into Carto. And then… nothing on the backlog.
A return to Deep Rock Galactic? ROCK AND STONE!
Re: Seriously, What's the Catch with Ananta? Free PS5 Open Worlder Looks Mental in Uncut Gameplay
They should spend some of their budget on decent voice actors.
Can’t believe this is free though, like you said - where’s the catch??
Re: Good God, Crimson Desert's PS5 Collector's Edition Costs a Whopping $280
Imagine buying this and then finding out you don’t really like the game.
Re: First Wolverine PS5 Gameplay Is Incredibly Gory, Set for Fall 2026
Reminds me of the very much underrated Wolverine Origins game, which is exactly what I wanted it to be. Excellent.
Wouldn’t class any of this as gameplay though, so would be excited to see some actual footage. This just looks like all the Finisher moves sliced together.
Re: State of Play September 2025 Predictions: Marvel's Wolverine, Resident Evil Requiem, God of War, and More
I’d be there day 1 for a decent Motorstorm remake/reboot/remaster/new game.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 24th September, 35 Minutes of PS5 News and Reveals
No interest in Saros or Tokon, so I hope there’s something else new besides Wolverine. Will be interested to see some new potential big releases for 26/27.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 599
Having some fun on Skate, but it’s just a bit fiddly - like everything is an effort - I can’t quite gel with it.
Otherwise I’m doing some DLC on Spider-Man, which is great fun, but just more of the same.
Might give Hollow Knight another go?
Re: There's a New Dragon Quest Game Coming Out in 2026, But...
Just want Builders 3 at this point.
Re: 'Sony Seeks an Impermissible Monopoly on Genre Conventions': Tencent Fires Back Over Horizon Rip-Off
Trying to ‘prove’ this legally is just ridiculous. It only needs someone with eyes and a brain to look at the comparisons and see it’s a blatant copy.
Re: 'Quit Game and Restart': PS5 Pro Has the Worst Version of Borderlands 4
Games are just released unfinished these days. Never worth a day 1 purchase when you can get the fixed thing at half the price 6 months later. If that means the developers miss out on revenue then they should just release a game that works.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Borderlands 4?
Really looking forward to it, but I’ll play it in 6 months when it’s actually patched to run properly.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
Wipeout, Ridge Racer, Ace Combat… the Jumping Flash on the demo disc. What a time to be alive. Changed my life.
Re: Keep Your Kid's PS5 Gaming In Check with the New PlayStation Family App
Why can’t they just build this functionality into the already existing app?
Re: 8 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for September 2025 Announced
@EfYI Totally agree.
Premium is the same as always, a small selection of various different styles of game. It’s not meant to have every game appeal to every person.
People always moaning like they’re expecting a PS version of Gamepass with first party titles being made available on Day 1.
Re: Destiny 2 Does Its Best Star Wars Impression with Renegades Expansion
Tried to go back to Destiny recently after a few years away.
That was a confusing mistake.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 597
Just a bit of Spider-Man remastered, which has been fun to swing on again. Have been playing the Marvel Tokon beta but I’m not keen.
Mainly looking to get up to date on Alien Earth which has been excellent.

Re: Street Fighter Movie's Crazy Full Cast List Revealed, Releases Next Year
This will be either ‘So bad it’s good’ or ‘So bad it’s bad’ but either way I’m here for it.

I thought it was dreadful and my excitement for the game has plummeted. Just flashy headache nonsense with no real sense of racing like Transformed (or Mario or CTR) had. Saved me a purchase anyway.
Re: Claim This Free PS5 Game in PS Store Cock Up
Claimed it, downloaded it, played it for 30 mins, deleted.
It’s very bland.
Re: Remember Acclaim? Well, It's Back in More Than Just Pog Form
@get2sammyb Ah yeah I’m sure I read about it on Time Extension or something months and months ago and then forgot it was a thing.

Re: Remember Acclaim? Well, It's Back in More Than Just Pog Form
Is this new news? I’m sure I read about this months ago.

Re: These 8 PS5, PS4 Games Will Leave PS Plus Extra in September
UFC is a shame.
Plucky Squire is a great little game.
