Generally a bit fed up of all these shared/connected universes which are popular in media in recent times.

Can't say this news tempts me to try out the latest Battlefield game any time soon.

The nature docs available in UHD are absolutely stunning and well worth a watch.

Don't call me Shirley.

Returnal
Demon's Souls
Astro's Playroom

Sweet, good to know they found a workaround.

Performance all the way for me, which will be the norm for me going forward.

I've been holding out for this since the release date got announced and I've just snagged the collector's edition from Amazon. First time I've got one of these super expensive editions as they've always been sold out by the time I've decided I've wanted one.

It is between Vice City and V for me. 3 blew my mind when it came out but Vice City improves on it in almost every way. Never completed San Andrea as I found it a bit bloated and wasn't keen on the lifestyle stuff in it. IV was alright but didn't like the protagonist or how relationships were handled. I did play the PS1 games but I don't remember enough about them.

@nessisonett I 'bought' Avengers and Borderlands 3 2nd hand on PS4 and get the free upgrade rather than try them on NOW. The service is in a much need of a revamp, as much as I like using the service.

Played the demo earlier in the year on Switch and thought it was pretty decent when I played it. Quite like Bithell so am keen to support this with a purchase.

@LiamCroft Happy Birthday!

@Th3solution It had a spike in player engagement when it went on gamepass, but that was before this happened.

Streaming from the service has always been a bit spotty for me, but I've yet to try it since I've moved and upgraded my internet. It has improved over the last couple of years, and it has usually been good enough to try out a game.

@KilloWertz "PS fans are complaining about the number of articles on PS fan site Push Square complaining about PS"

I expect to receive royalties if that gets used. Cos we all know that it is how it works.

Kinda scrapping the bottom of the barrel with things to complain about now. What next, the name of the updates? Oh, wait... 🙄 😉

@SplooshDmg @Weebleman Wow, they really are trolling us now! 😂

At this stage it wouldn't surprise me if Rick Astley appears at 4K 60fps when you open it up.

Cool will get the PS5 version when it drops. Quite like to support the developer seeing as I enjoyed the first game so much.

I've heard of rubber banding in games, but this stretches things to a whole new level.

Loved the first and like that the dev is putting some effort into adding some features for the DualSense controller in the sequel.

Good month for me as I've not played any of em!

Cool. Always thought 3D audio was a bit of a gimmick, and then Returnal happened and must have unlocked something in my brain as I've noticed it more since playing that game. See also: 60fps.

Think they are only small team, so glad they taking some extra time to do what they need to do. Got loads of games to play so am in no rush to get my hands on it when it releases.

@nessisonett I was thinking of that film as I was posting my comment. Yeah, it wasn't too bad tbf.

@nessisonett Imagine him being in a horror game as the main villian, I think that would be fantastic.

Yeah you can opt out of cross play with pc gamers for all those that wish to.

Will watch hopefully at some point this week. Really enjoyed previous No Clip docs I've watched previously. Horizon Zero Dawn and Doom 2016 are especially great.

I never liked the maps which mainly had soldier v soldier combat. Much preferred the more open ones when you had a load of vehicles to choose from.

Well that is disappointing and has happened on a few occasions now. Any game that this happens with which I'm ready to play, I'll just get 2nd hand and claim the free ps5 version that way. I have a bunch of CEX store credit I can use. Hopefully this can be sorted out for the future.

Great news! Playing Returnal at the moment and have been loving it. Good to see them transition from smaller titles to something a bit more substantial.

Sooner rather than later to hopefully quash some of these stupid leaks and rumours of late.

If you find a good summon, and not someone that just stands there and does nothing, it can make some of the more tricker encounter more manageable. I'm looking at you The Nameless King from Dark Souls 3. Also helping others overcome bosses and stuff with reward you, and is generally give a good feeling afterwards.

@FlashBandit @JechtUltima Let's get the pitch forks out guys!

But this is the second time they've had to deny having no links to Kojima.

@Nepp67 Yeah damn straight. I want a new (or a remake) Silent Hill game too, but it won't be from this developer.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble, but the developer has tweeted this:

https://twitter.com/BBGameStudios/status/1404924897340674049?s=19

Yeah the trailer was bloomin awful but will still give the trailer a go. Hopefully I won't forget before the 24th.

@skaarj217 Thanks, but I'm on about the soundtrack to the actual game.

https://www.gamespot.com/articles/atomic-heart-shows-off-next-gen-gameplay-and-its-m/1100-6480864/

I think the soundtrack is by Mick Gordon who did Doom and Doom Eternal. Will be keeping my eye on this as I've like what I've seensk far.

Excited for Plagues Tale 2 as the first one was so good.

I have zero interest in Xbox or Gamepass, so what games go on there matters not to me.

Really enjoyed the first game so this good news this is coming to PlayStation.

Oh yes, that looks damn fine!

Well that is a very bombastic trailer. Used to play loads of Bad Company 1, 2 and Battlefield 3, 4. Did have a go at 1 and V but couldn't get into them and hardly touched the single player campaigns.

Most likely Performance RT. Really struggled going back to 30fps after experiencing 60fps since getting a PS5.

@zupertramp You see I've never had a controller fail due to a mechanical fault, as far as I can remember anyway.

@Th3solution I'm pretty sure it was only till a few years ago the advice was to drain the battery before recharging them. Batteries in phones and other moble devices these days are best recharged little and often. I doubt they will explode or anything, but it will shorten the life of the battery.

@zupertramp I've had at least two Dual Shock 4 controllers keep very minimal charge, so eventually had to replace them. Iirc they were the earlier model and not the revised ones that came out later. This also happened with a couple Xbox 360 controllers too, or at least the rechargeable battery packs that you could get.

Returned to Returnal after taking a break as it was destroying me.

UPDATE: Still destroying me.

@CrispyMango92 Cheers for the info! Yup, a long time @RubyCarbuncle.

Just added a load onto my wishlist on my PS5. Games like Darkest Dungeon were on my previous wish list almost the whole ps4 gen before Sony nixed it.

Really surprised that there will be nothing about Dead Island. #sarcasm

In all seriousness, how many developers has that game been through and how long has that been in development?
