Sorry, are you implying you want a straight answer from Phil Spencer....????

Mhaw hahahahhahahhahahhahahahahhahahahhahahhah!!!!

Ahhhhhhh........good one!

Finally I can go monster hunting in a dress.

"Misleading, yes – but technically not a lie."

Well that's just Phil Spencer all over!

It's going to be (another) solid Push Square 7 I reckon.

Personally I think it's brilliant!

Returnal I believe was one of the first PS5 games that wasn't cross-gen (no PS4 version), so I bought it to see what the PS5 could do.

Bloody brilliant game and recommend to all.

Ahhh, the perils of a successful live service game!

Playstation exclusives coming!!!

Now fully porn compatible.

Already pre-ordered.
Finished it on the 360 many years ago and I remember either giggling through it or just gaping at what was being thrown at me (a particular goat boss springs to mind).

Would love to see a proper sequel but I would really like to take Suda51 up on his mentions of a Killer7 remaster next.

"Pinball FX will also be getting a table inspired by the 1987 movie The Princess Bride"

INCONCEIVABLE!!!

I really, really hope so.

Now that is cool.

Personally I thought it was rubbish.

Bit of a shame it rained but I read that the event and area was so huge that the organisers couldn't do a full live rehearsal.

And it showed. For me everything just went on a bit too long, the best bits were seeing the actual competitors on the boats looking excited, apart from that any atmosphere was washed away by the rain.

For example, when the Eiffel Tower lasers went on, I thought "Cool!"
10 minutes later, same thing with one solitary chap dancing in a puddle in fairly close up, looking like he was making it up as he was going along.
They got the torch all the way to the Eiffel Tower and then Rafael Nadal & co took it away again!

Do quite like the balloon though.

Now that's how to do a bitch slap.

They don't have a very big marketing budget because they don't really have anything to market.
It's that simple.

Oh and also they are playing the victim card here.... again!!!

The patch notes say there is a PS5 Performance mode now, anyone actually tried it yet?

Introducing PS5 Performance Mode!

• This is a game setting that configures your game across the board for a significant increase in performance on the PlayStation 5 console - our aim here is to smooth out the overall experience and provide options for players experiencing performance hiccups during gameplay. We do plan on improving general performance for all platforms and improvements to the efficiency of PS5 performance mode in the future.

Was having a go at Outrun 2006 on my old Xbox 360 the other day, still totally awesome!!!

Wish SEGA would republish it on PSN along with Afterburner Climax, but I guess there's a minefield of licence issues for both games now for the cars and planes.

"We've been writing about the PS5 Pro for years now, but the bottom line is that nothing's official until the thing is actually revealed."

I think maybe we can all take a step back and reread that first line.

Sony have never released a PRO console apart from the PS4 pro, and that was only done to help with the transition to UHD, HDR etc as well as chuck a bit more memory in there. It really wasn't a huge update.

To change the SKU and engage a second manufacturing line is a massive undertaking on so many levels, and the PS5 is selling massively on it's own and is really starting to get tapped properly this year and in the next few years will really reach it's potential.

Personally I believe all this PS5 pro design talk is really just the foundation for the inevitable PS6, which will probably release in the next 5 years.

No Big Daddy or Giant Haystacks - no buy!

Easy! Easy! Easy!

Hoping for DLC where you spend Friday night moping up all the drunken teenagers in Chatham.

Stellar Blade for me all day long, it's been like a breath of fresh air, plus it's FUN!!

Back up for my via app in London. The icon has changed back to the number of my level and it went straight to the activities etc.
Try the Force stop if still no joy.

@BeenGamingSince_83
Ah you mention many classics that were part of my C64 tape collection (as well as the mighty Xenon 1&2 on Amiga).
I still listen to Rob Hubbard's legendary Sanxion loader on Youtube now and then, it's still awesome!

Happy days!

Nice!
Love the nod to the Schwarzenegger classic 'Commando' which also features this rocket launcher. Just don't shoot it the wrong way around!

'Premium' and then 'Premium+'.

What a joke

Finally my pre-order will come through!!

I have to say on reflection I think Resident Evil is my favourite game franchise of the lot.
Very excited to see what happens next.

@Th3solution
I couldn't have put it better myself, spot on!

"so my approach or play style was to use everything I have at my disposal, all the assistance, every scrap of aid that the game offers, and also all the knowledge that I have as the architect of the game."

So this confirms my theory that Boss cheese strategies are either implemented on purpose for players to find, or purposefully left in once found.
I believe in a Soulslike game, any strategy (inc cheese) is valid and is all part of the game.

For example, IF Elden Ring was an actually reality, I would certainly try to trick Radahn to drown into the sea if I thought i was an easier way to despatch him then face getting chopped to pieces.
Its like saying David 'cheesed' Goliath with his slingshot instead of fighting him toe to toe.

I thought Deathloop was an excellent game with a cracking soundtrack. Bargain at £12 I say.

@Mostik
god yes Time Crisis would be another fantastic one in VR!!

@ThorsHammer

Looks sick indeed, for me maybe Puke-arama!

That screenshot makes me wish the House of the Dead recent port was put on PSVR2, would be totally brilliant.

"More improvements to the frame rate will be delivered in future updates, the publisher confirms."

Think I'll hold off purchase for a bit longer then.

I remember laughing like a maniac when I got hold of the lawnmower and mowed down loads of zombies, ah happy days...

Really hope they get the old Lucasfilm Atari 800 games on there. Rescue on Fractalus, Ballblazer and The Eidelon would be a real trip down memory lane for me.

@purple_mouse_gaming
Haha, I'll have to cheat but I always remember when my mate and I fired up JSR for the first time on Dreamcast and laughed out loud at the old lady voice saying that line in the soundtrack.

EDIT: OMG it's a sample from George Michael's 'Too Funky'!!!!
Which in itself is a sample from Hancock's Half Hour??!!!!
WTF!!!

I felt it was like a breath of fresh air, with so many nice little touches by the Devs.

Like everyone else, waiting for the 2B crossover.

"Would you stop playing with that radio of yours. I'm trying to get to sleep. Yay!"

PSA from FROM Software, and probably the only tip you'll get to make the game less hard (I won't say easier).

Seems all the fools rushed in and got handed an ass kicking from Mitzi & co, for not reading the tips I bet. All those people wanted to be first to beat the bosses and fell straight into the trap, I think FS want you to explore every corner of the map to get the most out of the game.

Amusing and probably the only tip you'll ever get from FS.

GAME in Surrey Quays is far more like a toy shop then a game store these days.

I think if Sony had signed the game as a timed exclusive, then they would announce it as such.
You know, like they do with all their previous timed exclusives.

Well I think I'll just have to buy this out of principle!
Children of the Atom was one of the go to arcade games my mate and I played alot back in the day, so will be wonderful to dive back in.

Still got PTSD from platting the main game. Can't face going back.

In the Worlds before Monkey,
Primal chaos reigned,
Heaven sought order.
But the Phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
The four worlds formed again and yet again,
As endless aeons wheeled and passed.
Time and the pure essences of Heaven,
The moisture of the Earth,
And the powers of the Sun and the Moon
All worked upon a certain rock – old as Creation,
And it magically became fertile.
That first egg was named Thought,
Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha,
Said, ‘With our thoughts we make the world.’
Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch,
from it then came a stone Monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!

MONKEY!!!!

I think it looks rather good myself, however I must say 'The Trailblazer ' is a terribly boring designed starship.
I was hoping for something a bit more Millennium Falcony really.

I can play PS2 Tomb Raider Legend in 4K 60fps using AetherSX2 on my phone.
I can understand the 'preservation' aspect for keeping it as but I don't see why if bedroom programmers can create a PS2 emulator that has a range of FPS & Resolution options, the boffins at Sony HQ can't.
