Agreed, but I can't help but think the extra 10 smackaroos in currency of choice will not prevent these publishers from adding microtransactions. Too much money to be made.

Not enough boulder punching.

@Cornaboyzzz Here you go chief:

Edit: I am an idiot! Ignore this. I misread.

Like above, I believe my tv is also the same. I would upgrade, but my tv is only a year old, and I still think most devs will struggle with 60fps, so ehh. Good feature to have though.

Yeah this should of been baked into the PS4, and definitely in the PS5. The Wii U and the Nintendo 3DS both had activity logs that broke down this information really well (Switch is nowhere near as good).

@spoonard Unless someone was trophy hunting (whilst not hard, Tales of Vesperia comes to mind), why would anyone do that intentiomally? I will admit there have been one or two ocassions where I have fallen asleep playing games but normally the console will shut itself down after a period of time so I don't see that massively skewing the play time.

@Nah900 Honestly, paying for online sucks in general. It makes me sad that all three companies do it now. I probably would buy more multiplayer games if I didn't have to pay for the privilege of playing online. I know some say that it is for service upkeep and better performance; and I can't vouch for Live Gold or PS+, but with NSO, the online doesn't seem to have improved at all which makes the admittedly cheap price still bit steep to me. The games and discounts of PS+ have never felt good enough for me to want to subscribe.

Honestly, I am not even sure which games I own that could make use of the multiplayer...

PS+ Subscriber: sees Sonic Forces Gotta go fast!

Edit: No surprise COD is top dog. I was honestly expecting more COD titles to be up there.

3 out of 15. Hadn't heard of most of these, and the ones I had heard of I don't know enough about to tell you the main concept. Still makes a change from the quiz on NLife, that one was too easy.

I must admit, I am very surprised that Persona 5 Royal has ranked higher than Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I only own two on this list; P5R and Dreams which I got for free.

@ShaiHulud I second this.

@gbanas92 I wasn't sure if that was Watto or not, he sounded different to me, but Watto has plenty of gems of his own in this game.

@Matroska You have to bear in mind that although 100 million PS4s have been sold, a decent chunk of that will be people buying multiple consoles, such as upgrading to a Pro, or getting a limited edition console. Then you also have to bear in mind the more casual audience who buy exclusively for Call of Duty, FIFA, GTA etc, rather than exclusives. Not to mention, not every single game appeals to everyone (for example, I didn't enjoy the first TLOU enough to get the sequel although I may get it down the line when it is cheaper).

If console sales equalled guaranteed game sales, then companies would probably have supported consoles like the Wii U and PS Vita since the sales would still have been a lot (but then again, why add 20 million onto 100 right?). 4 Million is still an impressive number.

Edit: Just to add a little bit on, it is also the same reason why companies are more interested in active users and the like, such as active PSN and PS+ users. It is a bigger indicator of how much money can potentially be made.

You didn't ackowledge the guy doing his little jingle on the results screen or the fact that Anakin has no legs whilst in his pod racer... this is a poor review./s

Seriously though, would of been nice with new content, but I am just happy it could be played again.

Zero Escape The Nonary Games is £15 if for some reason you haven't played those. Two games with great stories and puzzles. Cannot recommend enough.

Ahh, the greatest atrocity to be witnessed by humanity; a man's buttocks!

Need more info. Roll on August!

13/15. Not bad given it has been years since I have played the game. Couldn't remember the outcome of the dart game and where they were hiding in the Halloween store.

Ehhh, I think playing Last of Us was a good experience, but I didn't enjoy the gameplay enough to make me care for another game with the same sort of gameplay. Also, I really did not like the ending to the first one (I felt like it made the journey worthless), so the story is not a draw for me. To be fair, I got the game free with my PS4 ages ago, so I guess the problem also is I don't feel like it is worth the launch price.

...Maybe when the game is cheaper I'll have another think about it.

I personally would prefer on Switch but that is just me. I would take a PS4 port if for no other reason than the frame-rate and res-bump. In the mean time, my PSVita and PSVita TV remain as "the Persona Machine". The only three games I own for that system are Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and Persona 4: Dancing All Night.

Oh... Well that is disappointing.

@Abeedo To be fair, this one stood out more to me than most of the other ones as well. It is wierd, but I am genuinely interested.

Bethesda announced this at E3 2019 along with Ghostwire. I honestly feel that if these gameplay trailers were shown at E3 2019, Bethesda would of had a much better reception.

When I saw this, I was reminded of COD at E3 2013 and "Oh look at the hair on this guys arm". I mean its a good graphical demonstration but... why sweat than something more interesting?

I want more. Humanity is extinct based on the trailer, but it also feels like the robots are there so that we focus more on the cat and what the cat perceives the world as.

@Col_McCafferty Sony definitely got the games on display right in my personal opinion. I felt there was enough there that at least one of the games shown will get some interest. Kena does look good stylistically, but I want to see more before judging any further.

I feel like this was announced too early. I was interested in what I saw, but not enough context.

Looks pretty, but that is about it for me. Though I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in what Sylens is trying to do.

I enjoyed it more than I thought, but I still have too many questions such as release date and importantly price. Price makes me especially nervous given the extra stuff they were showing off. Seeing a digital only PS5 is another disturbing reminder of where gaming is going. PS5 design itself looks ugly to me.

The Bethesda games that were shown I believe were announced last year. If Bethesda had shown those ar E3 2019, people might of actually liked the show.

Spider-Man sequel looked good, bugsnack(?), was an interesting idea, Horizon sequel looks pretty but I don't know beyond that.

Overall, cautiously interested, but still not yet convinced of the need to upgrade straight away.

EDIT: Also, Sony, we get it, you can make transitions with the symbols, stop. They feel like padding when they are clearly not needed.

EDIT 2: Stray also looked interesting to me. I feel like the trailer told me in 1 minute, more than what other trailers do in 5.

Just watched the video. I am still nervous about the combat. It is certainly yakuza style turn-based combat, but I don't know, it just doesn't look as fun to me. The minigames could be interesting based on the commentary, and yakuza normally has a good story but I don't think I'll know if I like it until I play it which is a shame.

The only reason I owned a Vita. I am sort of low key hoping this means it will come to Switch, but if it does, I doubt it will be physical which sucks.

Let's be real here. Regardless of merit, unless the game is somehow broken on a technical level, it will probably get 10s across the board. It is a sequel to a game which was already critically well received.

@Nem Pretty much how I feel. Framerate over resolution any day. It irks me that devs do it the other way around, though I suppose it is easier to sell pretty graphics than buttery smooth framerate.

@East76landS Pretty much my sentiment. I wasn't sure 100% if Sony owned the IP or not but based on a quick google search it sounds like they do. I do not like this trend of exclusives going to PC.

I am expecting PS5 2021 release... okay that may be an exaggeration, but at this point I would not be surprised. I've long since accepted that 2020 is a steaming pile of excrement at this point (I should clarify that I am not just talking about gaming here).

Ehh, I have too much **** to play without repeating games. Only ones on PS4 that I can think of that I return to are Persona 5 (got platinum for Royal, but not base game hence the return) and MGSV (which is extremely rare for me to return to.).

Only real games I tend to replay constantly are the Zelda games, primarily OOT and Majora's Mask.

@wiiware Perhaps, but if that is the case, that just makes this statement feel more empty. It just solidifies the point that they are just another business who will do anything for profit. They don't care, which would be fine if they just admitted they don't care.

@nessisonett I am unsure if you are referring to me at all in that comment, but my gripe is not whether there are right to postpone an update (I don't personally care either way), but the fact that Activision-Blizzard have chosen now to grow a conscious when they clearly didn't have one before.

This seems strange; I know that Blizzard and Activision are supposedly treated as separate entities but given they are merged, where was this during the Hong Kong protests when Blitzchung was punished for speaking out in support during a hearthstone tournament? This feels like an empty statement for internet points rather than a meaningful gesture of support for BLM. Or is attention only given here due to it being primarily US where this is happening?

7/15. Not bad given I never owned a PS1.

Finally. Might actually see if they can convince me to upgrade straight away or not.

@Ralizah I actually get what you mean in regards to dogs. Unless it is the dog from Duck Hunt (he can go die anyday), I really feel uncomfortable with seeing a dog hurt or being killed.I can play games where that happens but I totally understand why that would put you off. Admittedly I have not watched TLOU2 gameplay so I am unsure how violent it is but heck, I get put off killing a dog in Skyrim. Ninja Gaiden 3 was probably the worst one for me when it came to dogs.

It is funny, I don't mind dismemberment of the human characters but do it to a dog and I'm out.

The Dragon Ball feels strong in this one. I know Toriyama does the character designs for Dragon Quest, but this feels more Dragon Ball than other Dragon Quest stuff I have seen. To be fair, I am fairly new to Dragon Quest, so maybe there has been other things. I am cautiously interested.

@get2sammyb That's fair. Admittedly I don't follow either PushSquare or Nintendo Life on social media... don't shoot me, please, NO, AAAAAAAAARGH!

..Anyway as I was saying, since I don't follow the social media, I didn't realise you were being pestered there so whilst annoying, it does make sense to do the article.

@Crimson_Ridley Ehhh, I mean to be fair, they announced when the review will be available. I mean that is something to get hyped about right? Seriously though, why say something if you can't expand on it?

"I have this really cool story but I am not allowed to tell you until arbitrary time has come. Please enjoy being tortured with that knowledge that I know something cool and you don't until then."

It is as bad as an announcement for an annoucement.

@Col_McCafferty Again, not what I meant. I may be phrasing it poorly, but I am not trying to "follow the herd" or not wanting to or whichever, I just wanted to understand.

In terms of games that I am interested in, by genre's I suppose platformers, action adventures, RPGs (Persona, Xenoblade Chronicles, Dragon Quest, Mario and Luigi, Chrono Trigger so more turn-based I guess than anything), rhythm, text-based/visual novel (or whatever you want to call Danganronpa, Ace Attorney and Zero Escape). I have played games from other genre's as well, although I wouldn't consider them to be my main type such as Doom, Borderlands, Warriors (Orochi 3 Ultimate, Hyrule, Fire Emblem)', simulation games like Stardew Valley and Two-Point Hospital. The only real genre which I never touch is sports-based games. I do have a heavy Nintendo bias which explains some of my likes, but I try to branch out to try new things.

@Col_McCafferty Trust me I know. It is more along the lines of it annoys me, because I want to be able to understand. I am not worried about scenarios such as "Oh man, what a scrub! Doesn't even like GTA! Do you even play games?" or anything like that. It is just not understanding is maddening for me, as ultimately, I am left with a question which I am doomed to never get an answer for. Nothing wrong with that of course. Still irks me though.

Edit: It is kind of the reason I buy certain games which I normally wouldn't be interested in otherwise. For example, I brought the Last of Us on PS4 because I didn't originally understand why that game was popular. Having played through it, although I really hated the ending and thought the gameplay was okay, I can at least see the appeal of it. Animal Crossing is another one; brought New Horizon's recently despite not playing Animal Crossing and again, I now see the appeal, even if it is ultimately something that I can't see myself playing long-term.

@Neolit I can sort of see that; not something I have ever had a particular interest in so that might be part of the reason I don't see the appeal.

@KratosMD Probably the best explaination I have seen so far. I do remember seeing trailers via youtube ads over the years that promote new stuff in GTA online. I also remember one of those being a casino where you could spend real-money, but only get got in-game currency as a reward.

@Col_McCafferty "You don't have to 'get' it either, maybe it's just not for you."

You are correct. Not everyone has to like everything; I guess for me it is more the fact that apparently a sizable amount of people think it is a decent enough game that I feel like the odd one out for not liking it. That is on me rather than everyone else though.

@Col_McCafferty "You can steal a car, ride a bike, visit a strip club, shoot some cops and all to a rocking soundtrack.

Oh and there are planes, boats and helicopters which you can use to create all kinds of mischief!"

Admittedly, I have not played any other GTA, but could you not do any of these things in the other games? Or has it been done better in this one? I am just so confused.

It has been a while since I tried this game so I might give it another try soon to try and understand, but I would be lying if I expected to "get" it now.

I own this on Xbox One and I played a bit of it, but the gameplay wasn't grabbing me... I dun't get it.

Not to mention, the 2nd best selling in the series as far as I know is San Andreas which sold around 27.5 million. So I have no clue why this one in particular did so well.
