I had to restart the tree trunk level as I had 2 music tracks playing simultaneously and the enemies up in the sky were glitching out. Thought I was going nuts for a moment.
@BolkaRover Nope, Timesplitters was one of the first games I bought on the PS2 and I suspect I’m probably older than you. It’s called having an opinion.
Edit: “ I’m 40 and don’t have time to play that often…” I was right.
Was discussing it with a friend who had played it too. We both agreed we couldn’t think of a single new thing it brought to the table. It’s ok, just the same as all the others.
@SJR too true. I’ve been playing online with the same 3 mates for nearly 2 decades and it’s hard work to convince them all to shell out £70 on a new title that might be crap. This was a far easier sell.
Bought and played this over the weekend. Huge nostalgia rush combined with huge frustration with controls - we don’t realise how easy we have it with modern games. Took a level or two to get used to it but now it’s like 1996 all over again.
@rusty82 playing Assassin’s Creed too. It was very slow to start but I’m getting into it now. Hopefully complete the story today.
Then praying, though very unlikely the new Humans Fall Flat level makes it to the PS5 and can have some fun with friends.
And finally figuring out how to remove all remnants of ***** Modern Warfare 3 that seems to have installed itself and used most of any remaining disc space I once had.
I played and completed a short game (Turing Test) over stream and thought it was great. Since then, nothing new has been added and I feel like I've been ripped off.
Anyone know of any decent, realistic flight sims on PlayStation? The Coastline Flight Simulator caught my eye, but looking at it in more detail, it looks awful. "Huge open world of 80km X 80 km".
Looks great but still not quite there with the car shadows on the track - it looks like the cars aren't quite making contact with the asphalt on the external camera shots.
@NoCode23 5. Accept the fact that there are thousands of f****** w****** playing the game who you'll never be able to kill because they spend their life playing it. Definitely not from bitter experience.

Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2024 Available Now, See Your Gaming Stats for This Year
Not working for me - just see the splash screen and no login.
Re: Video: Over 60 of the Most Essential PS5 Games So Far
@Feffster good shout - superb game.
Re: Round Up: Indiana Jones Reviews Are Live, Mostly Very Strong
I’m pleased - it looked decent in the trailers but they can be deceiving. Will probably pick it up when it comes to the PlayStation.
Re: PS5 Home Screen Customisable with PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 Themes for the 30th Anniversary
That unexpected PS1 start screen just brought a tear to my eye. Love it.
Re: Astro Bot PS5 Update Available Now, Adds Final Speedrun DLC Level
@Cerny tilt the controller more.
Re: 17 Games Land on PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
@Jayslow it’s a great tactic to get all the soon-to-be new console owners at Christmas signed up the PS+.
Re: This Time Next Year, You Could Be Playing GTA 6 on Your PS5
I got sent a long questionnaire from Rockstar last night asking about opinions on GTA online. Clearly gathering feedback for what to do in 6.
Re: PS5's New Welcome Page Rolling Out to UK Accounts
I like the UX of the ‘move’ function. Very nicely designed and implemented.
Re: Video: Top 10 Best PS5 Games of 2024 (So Far)
@BeerMonster I literally can’t watch the video … is just a black rectangle at the top of the page.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 548
7 Days to Die
I love and hate that game.
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection
Managed to bag a controller but it had me sweating when I needed to log into PS Direct about 8 times!
Re: Astro Bot Update 1.004 Is Available Now on PS5, and Nobody Knows What It Does
I had to restart the tree trunk level as I had 2 music tracks playing simultaneously and the enemies up in the sky were glitching out. Thought I was going nuts for a moment.
Re: 15 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced for August 2024
@BolkaRover Nope, Timesplitters was one of the first games I bought on the PS2 and I suspect I’m probably older than you. It’s called having an opinion.

Re: Rumour: Xbox to Announce a 'Big' Game Coming to PS5 at Gamescom
Would give me left leg for it to be Flight Simulator. It won’t be, but you can hope.
Re: 15 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Announced for August 2024
Sony having a rifle through the drawers in the office and clearing out the dross.
Re: Sony Appears to Have Leaked Helldivers 2's Next Warbond
Let me know when they’ve got vehicles.
Re: UK Sales Charts: British GP Catapults F1 24 into Top 10
GTA V still there. Man alive.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for July 2024 Announced
Dog’s mess. Weak month.
Re: Ubisoft Free-to-Play Shooter XDefiant Is Actually Off to a Strong Start
Was discussing it with a friend who had played it too. We both agreed we couldn’t think of a single new thing it brought to the table. It’s ok, just the same as all the others.
Re: TopSpin 2K25 (PS5) - A Killer Serve 13 Years in the Making
Will stick with the OG Wii Sports tennis till the price comes down.
Re: New PS5 Games Release Dates in 2024
Human Fall Flat 2 anyone?
Re: PS Plus Premium's Classic Catalogue Seemingly Adding Star Wars Rebel Assault 2 Next Month
Add Dark Forces then we’ll chat.
Re: Helldivers 2 Is Still Absolutely Killing It on PC, By the Way
@SJR too true. I’ve been playing online with the same 3 mates for nearly 2 decades and it’s hard work to convince them all to shell out £70 on a new title that might be crap. This was a far easier sell.
Re: Tomb Raider 1-3 Remastered Starring Lara Croft (PS5) - The New Standard for PS1 Re-Releases
Bought and played this over the weekend. Huge nostalgia rush combined with huge frustration with controls - we don’t realise how easy we have it with modern games. Took a level or two to get used to it but now it’s like 1996 all over again.
Re: Rumour: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is Now In Active Development
Great game that I’d happily replay, but not at full price. Possibly the only game with a Welsh protagonist? I await the replies that prove me wrong!
Re: Retro Survival Horror Alisa: Developer's Cut Corners a PS5, PS4 Release Date
Another example of why Push Square’s policy on using title case in headlines is confusing. Why were the devs cutting corners?
Re: Random: Yorkshire Tea Is Brewing Up a Custom PS5 Controller for Some Reason
Going to come across snobby here but Clipper Organic or gtfo.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 502
@rusty82 playing Assassin’s Creed too. It was very slow to start but I’m getting into it now. Hopefully complete the story today.
Then praying, though very unlikely the new Humans Fall Flat level makes it to the PS5 and can have some fun with friends.

Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Mirage?
@IronMike yes, it just doesn’t feel very fluid.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Assassin's Creed Mirage?
Yes and it feels a bit clunky as far as movement goes. Not really good enough for 2023.
Re: One of the Worst Games of All Time Is Coming to PS5, PS4, And You Won't Believe the Merch
Definitely a day 1 for me.
Re: 20 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Coming Next Week
Absolute tripe.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Hogwarts Legacy on Top as Armored Core 6 Drops
I will never not still be amazed that GTA V sells so well to this day. Is this the best ROI on a video game ever?
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for August 2023 Announced
@Member_the_game having paid for both, I’d actually be more excited by the fact it is 2K23 - it’s way more fun.
Re: Humanity (PS5) - PS Plus Puzzler Is an Unusual But Enthralling Journey
Just played a dozen levels… great game but requires some thinking at times.
Re: 900+ PS5, PS4 Games on Offer in New Bumper PS Store Sale
@Ooccoo_Jr last game I bought was MW2 knowing it wouldn’t be on PS+ for years. Everything else I can hold out for.
Re: For Some Reason NBA's Kevin Durant Is Coming to Call of Duty
Still holding out and saving my COD points for the Susan Boyle crossover. 🤞
Re: Next-Gen Shooter Neo Berlin 2087 Is Baffling PS5 Owners
Hear me out… could this be a trailer entirely written and generated by AI to test the water?
Re: The Last of Us: Part I Handed a PS Plus Premium Trial on PS5
Is the trial two hours playtime or real world time?
Re: Hey, Super Promising PS5, PS4 Co-op Shooter The First Descendant Still Looks Really Good
The capitalisation of all the words in the article titles drives me bananas - I never know what game is being referred to.
(That's my only gripe with the website, keep up the great work!)
Re: Poll: Is PS Plus Premium Good Enough?
I played and completed a short game (Turing Test) over stream and thought it was great. Since then, nothing new has been added and I feel like I've been ripped off.
Re: PSP's Ridge Racer 2 Looks Tasty in Upressed PS5, PS4 Screenshots
@Barryburton97 I literally had to read it out loud three times and still wasn't sure. Up-resolutioning?
Re: PS5 VRR Support Finally Coming This Week, Boosting Performance in Some Games
Definitely not me getting excited thinking it was about the new PS5 VR headset...
Re: Upcoming PS5, PS4 Games for March and April 2022
Anyone know of any decent, realistic flight sims on PlayStation? The Coastline Flight Simulator caught my eye, but looking at it in more detail, it looks awful. "Huge open world of 80km X 80 km".
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for February 2022?
Nope. Twaddle.
Re: PlayStation Wrap-Up 2021 Available Now, Share Your Gaming Stats
Still broken for me 😭
Re: DAYYYTONA! Watch Gran Turismo 7 PS5 Gameplay of the International Speedway
Looks great but still not quite there with the car shadows on the track - it looks like the cars aren't quite making contact with the asphalt on the external camera shots.
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate PS Plus in 2021?
I've got some many hours playing PGA Tour 2K21 with friends. And I don't even like golf.
Re: Talking Point: Do You Read All the Crap in Games?
With Far Cry 6 I only ended up reading the ones with a clue to solve the purple-gem-thingy challenges.
