This the most smug looking game I've ever seen. It'll do amazingly well with critics and sell about as well as Where the Water Tastes Like Wine. I'm not proud of this, but I really want this to fail.

Ok... Seeing as this fella is absolutely massive and for better or worse, young people (as in under thirty. Yes. I'm old) care what he thinks, this is a good move by Sony.

I'm not that keen on his music even though I do like a lot of hip hop, and I'm not really the right demographic, but calling the man a tool or a nobody is just daft.

It's the kind of gatekeeping nonsense which feeds the horrible "gamers rise up" stereotype. Come on lads, let's keep our heads on here.

@Ken_Kaniff you mean Rocket Arena?

Yeah. That looks like the most cynical, hackneyed, vile, DOA, Fortnite knock off I've seen in a while.

JC4- meh. 3 was boring so I've no urge to play this.

Worms- yeah. It's Worms. Yawn.

Well I suppose it's not that Cities Skylines month!

She should have been in MGSV. I'd certainly pay good money for her to be Quiet.

@get2sammyb can I come and have a go? I'll bring beer and snacks.... Brewdog beer. Fancy stuff.

Being able to look up a walkthrough without HEY ITS YA BOI SAMURAIPIMP420 BEFORE YOU GET THE LOCATIONS YOU NEED ID LIKE TO TAKE A MINUTE TO TALK ABOUT RAIDY SHADY THE DARK FANTASY MONEY GRAB AND DONT FORGET TO SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON AND JOIN MY NOTIFICATION SQUAD OH HEY THE OTHER DAY I DROPPED YET ANOTHER MUMBLE RAP TUNE ON SOUNDCLOUD WHICH MADE MY PARENTS WISH THEYD NEVER MET AND ALSO DO YOU LIKE THESE RAYCON HEADPHONES THEY WERE MADE BY A SPORTS GUY SO YOU KNOW THEYRE QUALITY OK SO BEFORE I TELL YOU WHERE THE CHEST IS LET ME JUST READ A FEW OF YOUR COMMENTS ***ad starts playing with sickening millennials talking about clothes**

So there's that. That's a good thing. If it forces these YouTubers back into their holes I'll be elated.

At the risk of sounding like an old man..... I just want to play games. They said in the presentation that they want to remove barriers to gameplay, but I really don't want notifications, picture in picture of my friend's games, news stories and what are basically ads popping up everywhere. It's just all too much and I would hate to play something like GoW with all this going on.

Oh and Destruction All-stars still looks like a binbag full of chod.

Ok I suppose. I don't think plus games are as anticipated as they used to be. Can't say I've been impressed for a long time.

An online multiplayer title with mtx which looks like it's trying to be Fortnite, for seventy quid?

Good god I hope this fails so, so, hard.

Much as I despise Potter, that looks very good. Sony pretty much said "yeah you can pay less, but all the good stuff is here" and for me at least it paid off.

THEY'RE MOCKING US WITH MAN ASS!!!!

This is legitimately hilarious.

I was on the fence about picking this up as I'd heard the single player is really good, but I just don't like the look of Kamala as a character. I mean, being stretchy? It's like buying infamous and having to play half the game as Delsin's friend who has the unique power of long arms.

It's a game about the avengers, I want to play as them not focus on some unknown fangirl, no matter how well done it is.

TURRICAN. That and it includes the Amiga versions! That's about all I was interested in. R&C looks good, still not sold on getting a PS5 though.

Played a couple of hours with a mate yesterday and laughed my backside off the whole time. Really good fun. Imagine if they'd got a minions license for this. Could have been huge!

@Loki7T1 mate, you're getting it free and it's about three times the size of the original game. The publishers did us a massive favour here.

I would have expected at least a mention of the absolutely abhorrent findings about ubisoft. I certainly won't be buying any more games from them. As is, their strategy of burying ugly truths by showcasing and leaking new titles is at best crass.

Now if this was based around Rob Roy and Scottish history then I'd have been all over this. As is, I'm just not interested in samurai stuff. Leaves me completely cold. I'm sure it's a great game, just not for me.

So you'll still be bored senseless but it's a bit wider. Ok.

I don't get this game. It had a decent story but it made you really work for it. I only managed about fifteen hours before putting it down and just not going back.

Played about half an hour of Tomb Raider on ps now and didn't care for it.

Enough with the crappy sportsball games. The people who fall for this crap every year already own them.

Erica? What? Wasn't that released and bombed already?

Having played the vr mission on battlefront I've been wanting a full VR star wars game like this for a while. Holy squanch this looks amazing!!!!

It was ok up until the demon's souls remaster, then it was pure gold. The console looks awesome too!

@mini_piekarnik ok hold up.

You mean I can get a body like Hugh.... FROM A DVD?!?!?

@OGGamer ok, so to answer that- it must be said, loaded) question:

Nobody would care apart from a small minority of easily enraged people.

The reason that ND chose to make Ellie a gay woman is because being s gay woman is normal. All that these different people are striving for is to be accepted and appreciated. Showing respect and kindness to people who have differences isn't something detrimental to your circumstances, it's something that marks you as caring. Your anger towards this is something that I do understand, but it's also something that I believe we can all build on.

If we celebrate our difference and pull those who need it up, then that's equality. That's how we build alliances and appreciate other points of view. If we choose- and I do think this is something you've chosen- to see this as an erosion of our status as one demographic, then it creates an environment where nobody is happy.

I get that you hate these "sjw" types. Believe me, I agree. I can't stand virtue signalling. The thing is, if you actually have virtue and you open yourself to other points of view, you don't need to signal that. It's just a sign that you're a person who appreciates others.

Nobody is asking you to attend Pride and scream at anyone who doesn't tick boxes, all they're saying is that as a species we can be different, and that we should value our differences as opposed to keeping one archetype as better than another.

@OGGamer people aren't being thrown from Windows and murdered for being straight white males.

As a straight white male myself, it's a little shocking that the go to reaction against anything which acknowledges that people are different from each other is to attack it. You're talking about a video game and a story which is entirely likely to be well written and acted, just enjoy it for what it is. They're not attacking you.

@ErisMorn0 woah there, careful you don't cut yourself on that edge....

[EDIT] Well that last comment has gone, and so is my reply. No point keeping it up on there now.

@eumenes and people like you want to look at sexualised images of children in Japanese media.

There's a term for that son, it's a lot worse than hypocrite.

It'll be because (and this is hardly a spoiler seeing as it's in the DLC and widely known) Ellie is gay. Rocketman got banned there for the same reasons.

Put out a trailer where people get limbs broken and eviscerated then that's just fine and dandy, but don't even think of falling in love with someone with the same genitals. I'm sorry but I just can't fathom that way of thinking.

It was no mean feat to get as many songs as they did for this, so it's not an issue far as I'm concerned.

@Xiaolin awwww did I hurt your fee fees by having a different opinion? Did it make you feel a bit better writing anyone who you don't agree with off as a sports/cod fan? Bless.

I get that I'm in the minority here, but this looks boring. JUST MAKE BLOODBORNE 2.

No. Sorry. This looks boring as hell. Really?!?! This is the last hurrah for the PS4?!?!

Just bought Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise and I've yet to finish death stranding, so no. I'll be giving this month a miss 😂

We've gone full Alan Partridge on this one, huh? 😂😂😂😂

What's the difference between the PS5 controller being announced, and a cow?

I sincerely doubt that the push square staff know how to milk a cow....

(Jk lads 😉)

So it's a game where you try and rid the world of EDM?

You son of a beach, I'm in.

Tbh, I've not bothered with this due to other commitments but the whole new console debate seems a little redundant now. It'll be a nice bonus once the coronavirus dies down but that's about it

"It's got a great cast."

"Mark Wahlberg."

So, not a great cast then. Unless his character has been rewritten to be a dull simpleton from Boston who has been stealing a living for years and once blinded a guy in a racially motivated attack, before apologising to the pope for the only good film he's ever done.....

I was blasé about the film, now I actually want it to fail.

@Grindagger you're not alone. I got about two hours in, put it down and had no desire to return.

That intro where the skinny lad is trying to escape, all I could think of was how many sad Brewsters would be dressing up as him in real life.

Yeah... Definitely not for me.

@Jayofmaya they were on the OG xbox

@Akimi Minerva's den is worth the sub this month alone. Excellent DLC.

Good and all, but I know I spent more than 37 hours on some games last year. Red Dead 2 for example should have been top. MGSV I put about seventy hours into, and I'm on Bloodborne regularly. None of those showed in the top 3.

@SoulChimera yes! Finished it last night and it's absolutely brilliant. Tongue in cheek, ott, pure action. The best thing about it is all the little things they didn't have to do, such as the exhibits in the gallery and the vaping. First time I pulled out a grenade pin with my teeth I felt like John McLane. Really hope it gets a sequel on ps5. I want to know what was going on with "that" agent!

I picked one up a couple of weeks ago as I already had some compatible games. I'm really enjoying it! Blood and Truth is great, and the X wing mission on battlefront was lots of fun.

The year is 2097. The latest saints row game is to be released to an audience of dozens. Empires have risen and fallen. The world decimated by climate change and war. Of the millions who survived such tribulation, one thing unites them all.

None of them give the remotest toss about Johnny Gat.

@GodGamer so if I see footage of the game, read reviews of it which point out that the gameplay isn't something I'd enjoy, and disagree with a score based on the text of a review not matching the numerical score given, I should play it anyway? Surely reviews are there to inform purchase? In this case it looks like something I wouldn't enjoy, so I won't be spending fifty quid on it. If there was a demo then I'd be happy to try it, but I don't see why I should drop the cash on this right now.

Absolutely yes. Whether you like the look of DS or not (and I'm not buying right away. It just doesn't appeal to me personally), Kojima is immensely talented and has made some incredible games. Sony having him on board is a massive coup for them, and I'm eager to see what he's planning next.

I mean, Paul Verhoeven made RoboCop, Total Recall, and starship troopers. I don't write him off because I thought Showgirls was awful!

I reckon it'll make a profit, but I'd hope that it does really well.
I'm not buying it day one (just got PS Now and I'm addicted to Fallout New Vegas right now), but I'll pick it up at some point. Might not be too appealing (to me! Not to everyone) gameplay wise but it's Kojima and looks like the plot will be enough for me to enjoy it.

Played about two hours of P5 last night and I've pretty much got trains and pressed X a lot. Does it get better? Seems more like a visual novel than a "game" so far.

@GodGamer that's not what I said. What I mean is that if the vast majority is made up of fetch quests, and the main challenge comes from not falling over then that's not a AAA title with original gameplay, it's qwop with cutscenes.
