Re: Poll: Are You Buying Marvel's Spider-Man?

Downloaded it on a whim last night and have played for about 2 hours today whilst pretending to work from home. So far really enjoying it- graphics are amazing on Pro, web slinging is a blast, fighting is button-mashing fun. Doubt it will be the deepest experience ever but I'm glad I bought it.

Re: Review: PES 2019: Pro Evolution Soccer (PS4)

I hate to say it but it seems PES is dying. Yes it is way ahead in terms of gameplay but I can't keep overlooking the lack of any meaningful progression everywhere else. To lose the Champions League etc. is a massive step backwards. Even the menus- which aren't really that important- are still as ugly as ever; surely this is like a morning's job for someone to update them? Get a temp in to do it! And I'm so bored of Master League being exactly the same each year.

I love football games and hold PES in such fond esteem, but- and this pains me no end- FIFA will probably get my money this year.

Re: Media Molecule's E3 2018 Dreams Live Musical Performance Sure Is Something

@Neolit I was trying to work it out as I watched it. Seemed like most of it was pre-recorded (drums, main melodies etc) and most of the ds4 twiddling was probably altering effects in real-time. Then the rest of it was improvised ds4 button presses mapped to the right scale for the track (you could see that on the screens) so it didn’t sound out of tune.

@get2sammyb This is crying out for a Push Square collaborative effort. If we can pool some skills we could make something amazing together. I'm totally up for making some music as I imagine my level design skills will leave a lot to be desired.

Re: Review: Dark Souls Remastered (PS4)

This will be my first run through Dark Souls and I can't wait. I didn't get on with Bloodborne at first, but then downloaded it again when it was on PS plus and had an epiphany. It's now one of my favourite ever games, so I'm hoping I'll enjoy this as much.

Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Gets a Brilliant New Story Trailer

Perhaps if Rockstar had just dropped the trailer without teasing it, it would have had a bigger impact for some people (myself included)? I was hoping for proper gameplay and to see more of the world and gunfights and animated horse balls... but what we got was another teaser. No bad thing by any stretch, but maybe an anticlimax after knowing the trailer was incoming.

Re: May PlayStation Plus Games Announced

Odd choice. If Sony are trying to entice people to buy Detroit, wouldn’t Heavy Rain be a better choice seeing as its widely believed to be better than Beyond? Unless it’s already been on PS plus? But Rayman is a gem.
