I really enjoy the gameplay, and the games based on other I.P. like Fire Emblem and Hyrule Warriors are addictive, but basic Dynasty Warriors is too bland for me.

I miss Crush 40.

Could this lead to the return of Space Cadet Pinball?

@AverageGamer "Sounds like you just want to play a carbon copy of films but in game form… and that has nothing to do with getting “old”."

Nah, I think many of us like the look of the game but don't feel like this Bond is very reminiscent of the character we're familiar with. For me, I think "Bond" and think nice suit, suave and sophisticated. This character feels more like Nathan Drake x Ethan Hunt.

If it were cheaper people would be complaining about it not being powerful enough. Many of us paid even more for a PS5 that only has a handful of games we couldn't have played on a PS4.

@Rich33 I agree, it looks great fun but the gameplay is what I loved about that era, not the pixels. At least give an option to smooth it out.

This is a fantastic month for me. Games I'm not interested in enough to buy but am still curious to try is exactly what I like from PS+. I'm happy when just one game like that shows up but this month I got two at once! Very keen to give both Pac Man and High on Life a go

I am in an extreme minority that went from SEGA Mega Drive to N64 and never had any interest in SNES or PS1. I didn't become a PlayStation fan until the PS4

We're almost 4 years into the PS5 now, we're over the halfway mark. Tentpole games like Horizon and God of War look incredible and play great. The instantaneous loading alone sold me on upgrading to PS5 and I'm happy to wait for PS6 for ray tracing at 60 fps and whatnot.

I'm so glad I didn't watch it live. I was able to fast-forward through it pretty quickly.

My biggest takeaway from this is that Aloy now qualifies to be in the next Smash Bros as she's technically appearing in a game that's on Nintendo. Woohoo!

@Dalejrfanfreak I'm more worried that Epic will ruin Disney like they did Rocket League.

I have zero interest in killing the Justice League. I want to PLAY AS the Justice League.

@Tasuki That's like saying it's unfair to PlayStation and Xbox owners that Pokemon is exclusive to Switch. Sony owns theatrical Spider-Man rights and clearly made a deal with Marvel to share that in exchange for exclusive video game rights.

I love the Horizon series, it's one of my all-time favourites, but I wish this expansion had released earlier in the month. I've been waiting so long to play Advance Wars and it finally comes out tomorrow. After that it's a coin toss between Burning Shores and Tears of the Kingdom!

All of you dissing on Frontiers fail to realise that for a lot of people it's just super fun to finally FEEL like Sonic. I spent an hour at the start just running around at full speed, exploring the landscape, before even thinking about the objectives. That alone is worth all the bugs and frustrating parts later on. It's exciting to think about how it can only get better from here.

I have the PS5 version and you're missing nothing. It's barely optimised for PS5 at all. The constant and lengthy loading times are some of the worst I've seen on any modern game in years.

DKO outta nowhere!

I initially bought it solely to play Pac Man Battle Royal but quickly found enjoyment in the entire collection, most of which I had either never played or heard of before. I'm currently addicted to Pac-Man 256!

@Bondi_Surfer I felt the same way as you. Only Stray interested me, and the disconnected hands in VR looked so odd.

I can recognise how epic this was for fans of the franchises shown. Street Fighter 6 in particular looked really awesome! It made me wish I had the skill and memory to play combo-reliant fighting games.

Sonic Spinball, Sonic 3D Blast, and Knuckles' Chaotix should have been included as well at this price. Or at very least as part of the DLC, not just their music.

The trailer gave me the impression it's at least partly based on Dan Aykroyd and Harold Ramis' original Ghostbusters 3 script. That featured a passing of the torch to a younger crew and also travel between Manhattan and "Manhelltan". I like that it appears to be set after the events of GB Afterlife as well.

Christopher Judge, who currently plays Kratos, would be outstanding as live-action Kratos. Search YouTube for "Teal'c vs Ronon scene" from from Stargate Atlantis to see him in an awesome verbal and physical confrontation with Jason Momoa.

I'll buy it for Pac-Man Battle Royal alone. I've been wanting to play that with friends since we got addicted at the arcade long ago.

This is very helpful, thank you!

I was instantly super excited for this when it popped up during the Nintendo Direct... until the "free to play" reveal, then my interest dropped to zero.

I hope AEW finally shows their No Mercy-inspired console game

Australian PS5 is missing ABC iView, our public broadcaster's excellent streaming service. I've plugged my PS4 back in just for that.

I want to know if there's going to be more games announced for launch. So far I'm only interested in Miles Morales on Day 1 and that's not enough

Horizon and Ratchet look amazing! They really needed to be launch titles. I'm excited for Miles Morales, although it seems to be like Lost Legacy was to Uncharted 4 rather than a full-fledged sequel. Not enough for me to buy day 1 but I'll be all-in next year when I can get all three with my shiny new console ^_^

@nessisonett AEW keep teasing that they're working with the devs who own the No Mercy game engine. Fingers crossed it works out!

Trials Rising. I can't trust this series with my money. I waited to buy Trials Fusion until the edition with all the DLC included released. Then I ended up having to pay extra for the 'Totally Awesome' DLC pack anyway! Despite all that there was stil stuff locked behind another layer of Ubisoft transactions.

I said Super Bomberman R before but I just bought it on the sale so hopefully not that hahah...

So here's a new roll of the dice for Trials Rising!

rolls dice
C'mon, Super Bomberman R

I'm Australian and just got the theme code

SteamWorld Dig 2 or Trials Rising

Oh. Hmm.
Yeah, nah.

WWE seriously underestimate how important their games are. I only got into wrestling after playing WCW/nWo Revenge on N64 and getting hooked on the fun gameplay. It introduced me to the whole genre and the various wrestlers, so when I saw WCW Nitro on TV I knew who they all were and got hooked. When the next game was WWF Wrestlemania 2000 I subsequently started watching WWE Raw and became a fan of that. It also made me feel less connected to WCW and I wasn't as interested watching Nitro anymore.

The Yukes style of gameplay on the PlayStation WWF games never interested me at all and my disappointment that Yukes got to continue while AKI was dropped made me feel betrayed by WWE. I eventually stopped watching wrestling altogether for a decade. I've started watching it again recently but I don't really care about the wrestlers/characters like I did back when I played with them, so to speak, on the games.

I currently don't care about AEW at all because I know very little about their wrestlers. If they really do bring back the AKI engine for their game I will end up getting to know AEW really well. It's a brilliant move.

C'mon, SteamWorld Dig 2

Obviously I'm in the minority on this here but I firmly believe Disney is in the right. Marvel made Spider-Man: Far From Home the great film that it is. Sony collected the profits. There's practically no way Sony can continue from where they left off without Marvel, it'll have to be a soft reboot - same actors but everything else will have to be different due to rights. Sony rebooting Spider-Man has become a meme at this point.

To me it comes down to what's best for the characters and the story. And that's to leave Spider-Man where he belongs, where he was created. Sony doesn't put the story first in their films, as evidenced by their meddling in Spider-Man 3 and Amazing Spider-Man 2; always dangling their finger on the reboot trigger when it doesn't work out.

Sony Animation did a great job with Spider-verse and Insomniac made an amazing exclusive game. Why can't Sony be happy with that and let Marvel do what they do so well with live-action Spidey? Sit back and collect those cheques. Seems suspect that they announce the acquisition of Insomniac the day before this all went down, like shielding themselves from Marvel being able to take the exclusivity rights. Sony also had plans for Spider-verse spin-offs on TV which they'd have to go through Marvel to get. So I don't think this is over yet.

Rolls dice C'mon, SteamWorld Dig 2!

Nightmare fuel

Just because Sony isn't doing their own thing doesn't mean games for PS4 won't be announced or shown. I'm super hyped to see the new Avengers game by Square!

SteamWorld Dig 2, Guacamelee 2, or Ultimate Chicken Horse

This is awesome for multiplayer. I only have two PS4 controllers, one Switch pro controller and the joycons. With this I can do 4 players on each console

I don't really see the point of this when Puyo Puyo Tetris exists at the same time

I want to just remove the random numbers from the end of my PSN username but can't because it's taken... by someone who hasn't even played any games. What nonsense.

C'mon SteamWorld Dig 2

8-player Smash!

Then Spider-Man DLC
