@JohntheRaptor I've been on it the past 2 hours and whilst I do own the previous 2 and to a degree they all feel familiar I'm enjoying it alot. I mean, there's only so much they can really add to make it feel different I suppose. The newest thing ive come across in my 2 hours play is natural breeding but for that to occur you need to modify eggs and release a male in to the enclosure. Its a charming game for sure but does indeed resemble the blueprints of the previous entries.
I love these sort of games despite being terrible at them and as a male, I love dinosaurs (don't we all) so I may have to grab this. I liked the first one (especially the DLC of the first movie) but found the 2nd lacking in the campaign mode so it's good to see this has a robust story. Good price too.
@DonkeyFantasy one of my biggest gripes with the PS5. I remember modding Skyrim on the xbox and it was great. Hair mods, face and body mods etc and got it looking really really nice. The PS version always looked really sh't. I don't believe any restrictions were ever lifted to make it equal to the xbox mod wise.
This wiill be one that i let pass me by like a fart on the wind. Good for the ones looking forward to it but I've heard too much bad press to drop my ๐ฐ๐ฐ on it.
Nice to see it implemented but over the last 30 days? c'mon. That will more or less tell you if a game has gone off sale recently. I will stick to dekudeals that tells me on the thumbnail if a games at its all time lowest or matches it's previously lowest price and I can manually check it's lifetime pricing. It a step in the right direction but a baby step if you ask me. They still don't want you to know too much.
Nothing for me this week. NG4 looks OK but I won't pay full whack for it. Not even broke and got the remake of 3 yet despite multiple discounts on the store. I think I've hit my annual "can't be arsed to game" that seems to roll round every year. Didn't even play Yotei at the weekend or pull the wheel out for some racing.

"Sorry are we just pretending Goldeneye didn't exist 4 years earlier."
And thats a game i would much rather see spruce up on PS5. I understand that it's a harder task with the licences etc but GE (N64 version) is a GOAT contender for me. Offline and multiplayer.
This is so cool. I love the craziness of the Japanese. Here in the UK we get nothing like this. Just totally uninspired junk. This is the kind of advert that would make me go and buy a McDonald's, especially if there was some Ltd ed wrapping, box art etc. Fun advert.
This game is sublime! I liked Tsushima alot but once I got the end I was glad as it started to become repetitive and out stay it's welcome. I did get Tsushima a 2nd time when i got my PS5 but after a few hours id had enough.I'm finding Yotei to hold my attention far more than Tsushima did. Its world is far more seamless and engaging in design and it reminds me alot of RDR2 where you can be heading for an objective only got be taken off the path 3 or 4 times due to discoveries as I head to my destination. The missions are engaging and the bounties and combat are fun. The only thing that I'm conflicted about are that I'd like to play on hard but some of those boss/bounty/1 on 1 battles are damn bloody hard. Tekezo the unrivalled, I'm looking at you!! Playing on base PS5 and the game still looks stunning. As someone with a short attention span, Yotei is my GOTY by a long shot..
I loved reading throught the old SNES and N64 manuals. I remember reading through Ocarina of time about 50 times. Loved reading the characters profiles.
@Northern_munkey DS, although I haven't completed it is an amazing looking game considering when it launched. I've never completed a souls game but DS is the furthest I've got through one. I also loved Shadow of the colossus. What a game! BP are masters of their craft imo.
@Slideaway1983 yeah I'm more of a Tetris fan too. I may try the demo of this but I'm not holding my breath to come away with a different opinion of the series.
@CaptainWow this is why I've decided not to get it, especially at launch. I always remember being reasonably competitive back in my younger days but now I'm 40...something? I actually don't exactly know. 42 or 43 my reaction times just aren't what they were. I just get increasingly more annoyed when I spawn, die, spawn again, die again. It happened in the beta and my wife said "i don't know why your playing that game because you just swear all the time" made me think to myself If was actually enjoying it or just playing it.
@Oram77 I can't see that being an issue as long as there is some sort of save file on the system. I also think a minimum play time should have to be logged, even if it's a minimum of an hour or 2. Should help cut down the bombing of games.
@Northern_munkey "So let's give away the last COD entry for free for a limited time so hopefully a lot less people will play BF6 during its launch window"
This is my take on it too. Try and take player engagement away from BF6. I'm guessing the first week is when the majority of folk will impulse buy a game if they are going to.
Take that itch away and try to bring them in to the COD eco system. Its actually quite clever. Desperate, but clever.
@BamBamBaklava89 yes this was a shame. CG didn't do that well but what do you expect when Sony failed to advertise it. Imo opinion the fault lies with Sony as CG was a lovely little game that deserved so much better and I believe that team has so much potential and more to give.
@Rich33 this would make sence. Its showing 60fps in performance as it is indeed running at 60 and also showing 60fps in the other 2 modes for the reasons you stated above.
@Rich33 well this is what I thought from reading the Ingame descriptions. I even quit the game to the dashboard and restarted it with the new modes and it still said 60fps. Didn't drop a single frame ๐คท obviously I'm not suggesting that I've got a magic PS5 or anything, just thought it was strange.
@ShogunRok one thing that I can't get my head around from playing on a OG PS5 on an LGC2 TV is that performance, graphics and Ray tracing all give me 60fps. I've left my TVs game mode overview on and it doesn't drop from 60fps. On horseback, in combat etc.
Got Ghost of Yotei to put a few more hours in to. Liking it so far despite it feeling very familiar. Purchased Hades for the switch in the sale for ยฃ5 but I'm yet to make it to the end. I will also take a look at the weekly races on GT7. Apart from that I will be continuing to read the Da Vinci code then on to Inferno.
Nothing for me to the next month or so I don't think. I'm not buying in to Electronic Arabia's BF6 and I've just booked a hotel room in Manchester and 2 tickets to go see the Offspring with my youngest daughter for her first concert and I'm saving for my holiday next year so the belt has been tightened. I have Yotie and plenty more to tide me over a couple of months tho.
@StitchJones put about 4 hours in last night and I more or less agree with your points. I'm on a standard PS5 so can't comment on the fidelity as I'm not playing with RT on, just standard graphics at 60fps. I noticed right away the voice thing tho. Not in the cut scene as a child but only when you activate a memory. I also don't think she holds a candle to Jin. He was just likable. I do like the idea of taking out the 6 one by one tho.
I've completed most of the Halo games but I wouldn't say I'm a massive fan despite being entertained. I don't like floaty jumping mechanics or bullet sponge enemies in my shooters but I did like the locations.
@Uromastryx I don't even know why i bother to show interest in horror games ๐คฃ I bought SH2 remake and only made through the town until I bottled it ๐คฃ
@Northern_munkey exactly my thinking. I was going to hold off on BF tho but I may just not get it at all at this point as I can't dedicated the time to a game like like. I'm glad to hear that EA doesn't own the WRC franchise anymore as this is a genre I would miss playing. Shame about PGA tho as you know I loved that game but I can't support EA or "Elctronic Arabia" anymore.
@illegalmonkey as someone that doesn't really like horror games has this game got jump scares in it? As I say, I don't really like horror games or the way they make me feel (I understand thats the point) but jump scares just seal the deal for me.
I thought it was a sony thing that they only allow Ingame assets to be used in mods? That's why in skyrim you couldn't get any of the beauty mods for the characters. You could make the NPCs on the xbox version look pretty good actually with skin, eye and hair mods etc. I could never get towns, caves, lighting etc looking as good in the PS4 version either. I'm sure Sony only allowed mods to be up to 500mb too.

Re: Sony's Bluepoint Studio Recruiting for Third-Person Melee Action Game

Re: Complete Your Physical Copy of Ghost of Yotei with a Fan-Made Manual
