I was quite critical of GT Sport when it came out, but credit where it's due, Polyphony and Sony are doing an amazing job supporting this game post-release. I'll definitely be jumping back into the cockpit soon to check out the new content.
I would personally switch Final Fantasy 7 for 8 or 9 instead. I love all three, but 7 gets all the love, and you can already play it in a myriad of ways across PS4 and PS3. We still can't play 8 or 9 on PS4, though, and I would love to play through them again.
I would also add Croc or Gex 3D and Ridge Racer Type-4 or Rage Racer in here. Also, the original Colin Mcrae Rally was a big deal back on PSOne. I played it to death. In terms of its gameplay, it still holds up well today. I can see that making the cut! Otherwise this is a pretty solid list.
I said I wouldn't be playing God of War this weekend, but I still ended up playing it. How does that happen? Anyway, I'm roughly 3 hours in, and so far I'm very impressed.
For anyone looking to order online, I can highly recommend The Game Collection, SimplyGames, and ShopTo for pre-orders. I've used all three for years, prices often cheaper than Amazon, and I'm yet to receive a single pre-order from any of them that hasn't come early or on day of release (must be early on 95% of occasions, though).
It's way too crowded, and made even worse by the recent announcement that Divinity Original Sin 2 is coming out just a few weeks earlier in August, as well – and that one's a good 70+ hour game. Even as a big Dragon Quest fan, and as someone who has played every Tomb Raider game ever made, I will probably be leaving both of them until 2019 at this rate. It's going to be impossible to keep up. I'm going to have to prioritise: Divinity in August and Spider-Man in September.
Great news. My girlfriend is currently playing it on PC, and I've been looking over enviously for weeks. Can't wait to play this. Mind you, it's going to be a hell of a race to get this finished before Dragon Quest XI and Spider-Man come out. Ay-ay-ay.
@Jaz007 Yeah, I like games that are around 13-20 hours in this genre. The thing is, a lot of this stuff may be optional side quests, but I find it hard to skip past them so they don't feel optional.
I've been waiting for this to come to PS4 for years, but after playing Origins, I can't see myself going back to the gameplay style of the older games. I had a go on Black Flag just the other day and was surprised at how dated it feels. We needed this sooner, really.
I'm glad they're mixing up combat with something new. One of the great things about Final Fantasy is how they alter things with each title, it keeps things fresh. I wasn't a huge fan of the combat in the original; it was the characters, writing, story, and environments that made it special to me. If they keep that same level of charm and mix up the combat, I'm a very happy bunny.
I wonder if they've added the basic functionality of logging out? My old Spotify account was made using my Facebook account, but when I deleted my FB page, my Spotify account remained on PlayStation. I can't log out and sign in with my new Spotify account. It's very annoying.
Bloodborne is a wonderful game; It’s easily one of my favourites from this generation. I’d only played Demon’s Souls before it and I never got on with that, but Bloodborne reeled me in like nothing else.
Crazy numbers for a Monster Hunter game. Big congratulations to Capcom for such a solid release. I feel like I'm missing out by not really liking it very much, personally. I'm clearly in the minority.
@Flaming_Kaiser It would be a lot better if there wasn't any combat. It's not a terrible game, it's just that it doesn't make a very good action-adventure game. If they replaced all the combat with much better puzzles, this could have been really good.
@Gamer83 Resident Evil VII is terrifying in VR; I lasted all of 15 minutes, and nothing happened for the first 10. It really is a great demo of the power of VR, though. It's incredibly immersive.
@ShogunRok “That first session was like sneezing and farting at the same time — you don't really want to go through it again, but you're still kind of curious as to what the hell just happened.”
@ellsworth004 Yeah, it looks that way. It's pretty bad. No wonder they felt the need to put out a "thank you" video. 😂
Edit: When Square Enix first announced the Royal Pack's individual price, they said $19.99. It looks like they've since receded and the price is now unconfirmed.
@Feena The extra content that's coming to the Royal Edition can be purchased separately for $19.99. Not sure on the price in GBP off the top of my head.

@get2sammyb What can I say, I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic settings. 😎
Re: RAGE Twitter Account Resurrected Amid Sequel Rumours
@get2sammyb Whoa, hey! I really enjoyed RAGE. I'm up for another one!
Re: Review: Tacoma (PS4)
Sounds exactly like my kind of game. "Add to Basket."
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2's PS4 Box Art Is Very Striking
That does look rather lovely, doesn't it? Can't wait to play it.
Re: Detroit: Become Human PS4 Demo Available to All from Tomorrow as Game Goes Gold
I'm also looking forward to this. Nice that we're getting a demo to check it out nice and early, too.

Re: Delightfully Drawn Indie Adventure Forgotton Anne Hops onto PS4 in May
Wonderful! I'm looking forward to playing this one.
Re: Review: God of War (PS4)
@get2sammyb Great review, Sammy. It must be good to get a 10 from you! Do you need to have to played the previous games to fully understand the story?
Re: European PS Store Double Discounts Sale is Live Now
@R1spam If you like first-person shooters, yes. It's one of the best FPS campaigns I've played on PS4. Well worth £9.
Re: European PS Store Double Discounts Sale is Live Now
You know, £10.49 for No Man's Sky in its current state, not to mention the upcoming content, is a really good deal.

Re: Narrative Adventure The First Tree Sure Looks Foxy
This looks really nice.
Re: WipEout Omega Collection PSVR Update is Available Now
Wow, that's pretty awesome. I'll be trying this out when I get home.
Re: Devil May Cry Inspired Lost Soul Aside Thrills on PS4 Pro
Looks like it has a lot of potential. I just really want to see what the environments are like.
I'm also feeling some serious Final Fantasy XV vibes - both in how the combat looks and in the UI.
Re: Afterparty Is a Drunken Adventure from the Makers of Oxenfree
With this concept, visual style, and the writing of Oxenfree, it's bound to be good. Can't wait to see more.
Re: Zone of the Enders: The 2nd Runner Mars Targets a Launch Window on PS4, PSVR
I wouldn't mind playing this again in VR. Otherwise I'm not overly bothered.

Re: Review: Ni no Kuni II: Revenant Kingdom (PS4)
@ShogunRok Great review. I know what's on my WAYP this weekend. 😏
Re: New Cyberpunk 2077 Details Include Character Creation, Huge Story, Potential Multiplayer
@Octane Yeah, I agree actually. I much prefer a predetermined character. I think we're in the minority, though.
Re: Feature: Ni no Kuni II Combat - What's Changed and Is it Better or Worse than the First Game?
I'm glad they're mixing up combat with something new. One of the great things about Final Fantasy is how they alter things with each title, it keeps things fresh.

Re: Yakuza: Kiwami 2 Heats Up Western Shores from 28th August
We're getting so much Yakuza right now I'm struggling to keep up. It's great to see the series finally getting the recognition it deserves, though.
Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Walking Simulators
I love a good walking simulator.

Re: PSone Racing Franchise V-Rally Returns in September
I loved V-Rally when I was a kid. Got a flash of nostalgia when I saw that the series is coming back.
Re: Review: VRFC (PS4)
@get2sammyb 😂 can't argue with that.
Re: Soapbox: Don't Dismiss Bloodborne Because of Its Difficulty
Bloodborne is a wonderful game; It’s easily one of my favourites from this generation. I’d only played Demon’s Souls before it and I never got on with that, but Bloodborne reeled me in like nothing else.

Re: Review: Mulaka (PS4)
@Flaming_Kaiser It would be a lot better if there wasn't any combat. It's not a terrible game, it's just that it doesn't make a very good action-adventure game. If they replaced all the combat with much better puzzles, this could have been really good.
Re: A Whole Bunch of Ubisoft Games Are Going Cheap In New European Weekend Sale
Some good deals here. I might pick up Steep and Watch Dogs 2.
Re: March PlayStation Plus Games Announced
Wow! It’s so good I already have both of the big games 😅
Still, what a month!
Re: Review: Moss (PS4)
This sounds great. Nice to see developer developers up with other ways of making VR games that isn't first-person.
Re: Gran Turismo Sport Adds Another 12 Cars This Week
I am tempted to give this game another go. Props to Polyphony for releasing plenty of free post-launch content.
Re: Soapbox: Why Burnout Paradise Makes Perfect Sense as EA's First Remaster
@get2sammyb Agreed. It’s a great game, and it’s exactly the kind of title I’ve been waiting for on PS4. Can’t wait to dip in again.
Re: Burnout Paradise Remastered Finally Confirmed, First Footage and Screenshots Revealed
Definitely up for playing this again – especially in 4K 60fps!
Re: Onrush Looks Like Motorstorm on Steroids in Brand New Trailer
I really miss MotorStorm, so I can't wait for this. It looks like just the kind of racer I've been waiting for on PS4.
