I said this three VR articles ago, way before you all gushed over the idea after the controller was announce. I demand payment immediately and will be filing a law suit for plagiarism.
It completely depends on the game, the first time I played the last of us was the only time until I finished TLOU2, the story was so good in the first one I just didn’t feel like I ever had to do it again. The sequel gave me the bug for it and I went back to play the original, and it was amazing to go back through the lens of someone who has grown 7 years.
Something like Skyrim or fallout 3 though, the general paths are the same but I’ve been back to those games so many times and every time I’ve gone back it’s felt new because you can choose so many different ways to play.
Not one developer has ever held my attention, or in fact the entire gaming community’s attention like Bethesda have. Not even GTA can retain players without an online component, and you have single player games in Fallout 3 & Skyrim still being played to death after a decade. That’s a big deal if they’re not on PlayStation and it is the sole reason why I knew I had to have a series x, many others will do the same. Absolute power move by Microsoft to be honest.
@Grumblevolcano I think the horizon thing is all about timing, you’ll probably see an enhanced PS5 version that coincides with a pending release of the sequel.
@Acid_Renzi Why would I come here to brag on a corporation’s behalf? I don’t care either way who has what, I’ve got all three consoles, makes no difference to me. When I see sad actual adults talking absolute bollocks about how they feel about the Bethesda thing it’s just embarrassing, it would be completely different in this comment section if the buy out was Sony’s. You’d be shouting about how great Rage was and all sorts.
Oh wait how could I be so stupid, I’ve been reading the comments thinking “are these people on crack?” Then remembered it’s a PlayStation site and it’s full of people who are absolutely livid they’re having Elder Scrolls taken away from them, just a collection of “they’ll never put them all on gamepass, what about the money” yes they will, the Microsoft strategy is clearly subscriptions, the execs will have green lit the deal on that basis.
The other absolutely ridiculous trend is apparently all of a sudden nobody EVER liked Bethesda, quite extraordinary when you consider the plethora of devs under their umbrella and the diversity of titles...and people don’t like a single one! Fascinating. I wonder if they’d be saying that if Sony bought the company.
@Grimwood Absolute nonsense. Even if they’re not your cup of tea, Doom and Wolfenstein are outstanding series’. Skyrim still holds up after 10 years. Take your Monday elsewhere pal.
Nobody has mentioned the most important thing from what I can see, and that is better games, sure there were a handful of excellent hits but nowhere near enough to justify an extra £250.
If Sony want a killer app then they need to make it capable of running half life alyx, I think that would not only get people to buy a VR but it would show just what VR can be, and will open it up to more devs giving it a try.
@Nightcrawler71 I really don’t think that’s the case, as far as I know one of many teams works on the online component. I think people forget this is a company that makes more money off one game in a day than others can only dream of, they can easily handled GTA6 alongside other projects.
Is it just me or is the space on the PS5 SSD absolutely fine? I thought I’d have to micro manage but I’ve got No Mans Sky, RDR2, p5 royal, overcooked all you can eat, MH world, crash trilogy, god of war, resogun, and the uncharted trilogy...still got like 190GB spare! Maybe I should be glad I don’t play call of duty!
I’ve played every housemarque game, resogun has been played since it released and is now installed on the PS5. If they say they’re delivering a £70 game, then I 100% trust them. The game looks very different yet is so obviously housemarque, I can’t wait but I agree with others.., it'll plummet in price in no time so I don’t think there’s a need to rush in.
@gbanas92 I can’t speak for experience to be honest as I’ve not been lucky enough to get hold of a ps5 so I’ll take your word as gospel on that and I’m glad there are people who are finding it be amazing, that keeps me excited! It was just an observation from a few reviews now where that has been a criticism.
Haven’t got one and have now given up even bothering to look, luckily I have plenty to still get through on the old gen and there’s no system seller on either next gen console yet. It’s disappointing but I don’t really feel like I’ve missed out on anything yet...the controller is the most intriguing thing for me.
I don’t see how the dev can be all that surprising at all to be honest, surely there isn’t a licence as expensive as Star Wars? Not sure how all that works but I’d say the fact that EA, now Ubisoft are the two main users of the license for games so far then I’d make an educated guess any publisher needs to be a power house.
They really found their zen with Detroit, their previous games were always just short of perfection but they nailed it with this. I’d take a sequel to be honest!
Dragon age games always felt like they were a gen behind to me, inquisition was pretty crap and BioWare haven’t exactly done much to prove they have any good of the magic that was part of KOTOR or Mass Effect in a VERY long time.
This is great, I’ve just bought and finished the first tomb raider for £2.39, had rise sat waiting for me from previous ps plus, and the day after I was eyeing up shadow on sale it goes free. Buzzing! The new tomb raider games are superb.
@Subsided No other cross gen has had smart delivery, free upgrades and the dream of never having to worry about not having enough power slapped all over the marketing though.
@Trajan sick of seeing comments like this on the internet, Witcher 3 wasn’t sold as a PS3 game and everything was crystal clear about the performance of the switch port. They have conned people, roughly 8 million of them.
I deliberately avoided this on PS4 and got it on the one x, so far I’ve seen a main character flapping about in mid air after a big moment just before titles, I’ve been stuck going in a loop in a helicopter firing aimlessly at corpses with the objective to kill them all still hovering, and let’s be clear the bugs are not the only problem. Vehicle controls are terrible, the button configuration is so badly thought out I’m constantly doing the wrong thing, particularly in menus which are also clearly just a copy paste from PC with absolutely nothing done to adjust to those using a controller.
The shooting has been fun but even combat is annoying because at times you can just stand and shoot your enemies while they spin around aiming at the sky.
They have annihilated their reputation and they won’t ever have hype on this scale again, they made one good game...arguably two if you include Witcher 2. No third time lucky here.
I went straight in to Ghost after TLOU2 and couldn’t get in to it, have just finished Death Stranding (what a game) so will have to pick back up the samurai sword.
@Jaz007 you are annoyed that a console launch only has one free game? It has 22 actually. Bugsnax. Astro. PSPlus collection. Ps plus hasn’t gone down in value but entitlement in the community is through the roof.
