@clvr "What's the number that comes after 2? Numbers are hard." -Gabe Newell

Probably explains why he likes the Series X over the PS5. No numbers in Series X, but there is a number other than 1 or 2 in PS5.

We know very little about this game. The first thing that screenshot made me think of is a cleaner more detailed Skyrim. I have yet to make up my mind about whether that is a good thing or not.

Sounds like one to pick-up when cheaper.

Just give us a date for the love of Lucifer!

So the definitive edition being released is a port of the Switch version, meaning better/same resolution as original PS4 release, but looking graphically the same as Switch, meaning less foliage and other details.

I am baffled by Squenix, but at the same time, I find this incredibly funny. I was waiting until payday to buy the Switch version (enjoyed the PS4 original version very much), but then saw this. Knowing what I do now, I think I will continue to buy it on Switch for portability now I know that graphically there won't be much difference. But still, this is amazingly baffling.

Only played two of them (although I do have a copy of Dreams which I got for free, just not played it) so...

Two Point Hospital and Persona 5 Royal.

It feels wierd knowing that they are giving dubs to the games from now on. I thought Judgment was going to be an exception...

Ehh, I'll probably still play with Japanese dub.

Where's Scramble Atlus? There is a definitely an audience for it!

Own 3, platinumed 2 (Horizon and Spider-Man). Don't own FF VII as I still have not played a single game in the series.

@EVIL-C i was honestly expecting more people to disagree with me and say that paying for online is a good thing, or that PS+ is a good deal without the online. The value is subjective of course, but it has never been worth much for me. NSO is cheap, but I have not noticed any real improvement in the quality of online gameplay. I can't vouch for PS+ because I have never owned it, nor do I have experience with online on PS3 to compare it to, so perhaps there is some quality improvement there, I am unsure.

Yeah, I despise paying for online, and the other 'perks' don't really entice me. I will get flack for this, but nothing would make me happier than PSPlus burning to the ground, along with other online subscriptions (Xbox Live Gold and NSO).

...And I just finished the second game.

That's a snub right there. It's okay SEGA, I still love you.

Edit: I am half-waiting for the Yakuza memes. Playstation players doing their own version of Bakamitai.

5/15. To be perfectly honest, I guessed all of them too except one. I owned a PS2, but I did not own a single first-party title except for a couple of EyeToy games. My Playstation knowledge is mainly PS4, and that is it.

I see Persona 4 Golden on that list. The interest is definitely there. Atlus just needs to bring it elsewhere.

This is an interesting strategy. If it works, the pay off will look very tasty indeed, but I feel that the price will be the stickler here. Sony are producing these extra due to the current pandemic and those who are still in lockdown, but there is every possibility that people are beginning to struggle financially if they weren't already due to the length of lockdown/restrictions so far in which case, stock won't shift.

I could be wrong of course, gaming did have quite the increase so far in terms of revenue for the current pandemic and the lack of Switches has very clearly bit Nintendo in the butt, but quite a lot of that was earlier in the pandemic when the lockdown was still new. Months later where people's jobs don't look as secure anymore, and people might be a bit nervous of spending £500 (personal guess) or so on a new console. Sure, the consoles will probably sell eventually, but they could be in a warehouse for months before being sold, which is a waste of inventory space.

Knowing Sony though, this is probably a calculated-risk so they should be fine.

For the most part, no I would not be willing to pay the premium. Mainly because with most of my PS4 games, I never felt the need to pre-order the games. The only real exceptions I can think of are persona games. Otherwise only the odd game I will pay full price for.

You could argue that I am contributing to the problem as people with my mindset are why developers feel they can excuse microtransactions, but realistically, even if I did pay full price for all my games, I still think MTX would exist purely because companies know they can make money off of them.

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.
