Probably the digital version, but price difference will be key. £50 is the tipping point anything over that probably seals the deal.
I tend to play few big games on release. Obviously at launch this will be a bit different, but most of my purchases for the last 3-4 years have been digital in sales.
Again if the digital pricing is out of whack that could push me back to a typical physical machine, but I saw that TLoU2 was only £5 more than the disc version. So I'm hoping perhaps naively that the stupid price difference of digital > physical may be at a turning point.
Too early to tell completely, but the all digital approach is tempting.
My backlog is too big to think about replaying games also I kinda like to play a game, get as much out of it and then move on. The only exception would be a remaster of a game I loved - TLoU, Ratchet and Clank(s), Skyrim, GTA V, Ico.
I keep hovering over the buy icon every time Skyrim VR is on offer so I can play it again. Like I need 100+ hours in a headset
@MarcG420 I'm fine if it's on the list and fine if not. Got the platinum for it, so can recommend it for anyone who's not played it. Just fed up with the spammy articles on unfounded rumours (last month it was from some totally random source - zero credibility, but still reported on). That's more what annoys me. This site does some really good work, but also has click baity stuff. It's a real shame, the tabloid BS overshadows the quality sometimes.
Are we still bitching about last month? Really? You can't guarantee every month will suit everyone or that you'll have not already got the game. How do people and websites still don't get how this works?
It's certainly hard to get right - how many E3 or similar press conferences had really wooden execs on stage? I love the whole E3 experience, it's like a gamer's Christmas, but some of them have been really cringey - big celebs on stage "hi I really love playing X when chilling away from filming" - uck, fake fake fake a lot of the time.
Love the Silent Hill games and love Kojima. But after Death Stranding anything that gives him "full control" is a pass from me. He needs someone to restrain and shape his ideas. Maybe not a popular opinion on here, but sometimes freedom needs to be focused a little.
The alleged difficulty puts me off, but more because I'm time poor. Not sure I have the time to devote to learning the levels and getting to grips with the systems. I've downloaded it, whether I get around to playing it is another matter.
My wife and daughter both love Overcooked. As the "hardcore" gamer I find it really stressful!
Diablo III is great kick back and chill with my wife.
One not in the list is The Witness. We've had a great time slowly working out the puzzles together. Some audio related ones I couldn't do, but we're easy for the Mrs.
Name change isn't due to Sony caring or not. Something to do with how they built the PSN and the data behind the accounts. Has been documented and commented on a few times now. If they could they would.
The problem I have with this is that 99% of LBP user content isn't very good. Even with time, planning and taking it seriously most users (myself included) don't have the skill or talent to create something that looks or plays good.
Fair play to Sony for backing this. I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, but my expectations are set to impressive technically, but otherwise lacking.
Played Abzu already (it's ok) but as I'm on the European side of the Atlantic... Alienation was on my "buy sometime" list and the Borderlands game will be a fun quick platinum. All good for me.

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With You PS Plus Games for September 2020?
Rubbish month for me. Not interested in either. Was thinking of getting PSNow, but seeing the comments not going to bother.
But I'm still playing Fall Guys from last month so it's all ok. You can't 'win' every month 😁
Re: Gamer Girl Is an FMV Game All About the Life of a Streamer
Weird idea, but sounds very intriging. Look a good FMV game. Always a good change of pace from other types of games.

Re: Guide Vehicles and Pedestrians Across Chaotic Junctions in Traffic Jams, Coming to PSVR in 2020
Looks fun, but as always with these types of games the real question(s) will be how much and how repetitive does it get and how fast?
But if priced right, looks like a good game to enjoy with the family.
Re: PS5 Fans Dream of an All Black Console with These Mock-Ups
Love the white and black. Only decision is physical discs or digital download version.
Re: Gallery: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Looks Like a Real Dimension Shift on PS5
Looks lush. One of the many reasons I'll be staying with PS next gen is R&C.
Sad to see no release date, so not looking likely as a launch title but will be worth waiting for.

....and one more thing.....then drop a short video on what the damn thing looks like (and please be all sexy like the new controller).

Ratchet and Clank and a Burnout Takedown/Paradise sequel/mashup... oh be still my beating heart

Re: PS Plus June 2020 Games Include Spider-Man PS4, Says Rumour, But It's Based on a Known Store Bug

Re: PS Plus June 2020 Games Include Spider-Man PS4, Says Rumour, But It's Based on a Known Store Bug
Site publishes rumour. Rumour turns out as expected to be pile of tosh.
Site and others take up pitchforks and torches about "crap month" and dashed expectations....
Slow hand clap well done, next month let's make it 3 for 3.

Re: Guide: Short PS4 Games
Dreams??? I get the argument, but really? For a site that is so pro Dreams that's not really an endorsement to be on this list.
Re: Guide: The Last of Us 2 FAQ - Everything You Need to Know
Awful. Awful. Awful. Clickbait. Shameful.
Re: Review: Omensight (PS4)
Quite enjoyed Stories when it was on PS+ will add this to my list to buy!

Re: Guide: The Best PS4 Co-Op Games
Oh yeah and Keep talking and nobody explodes... Stressful but amazing fun. Would love to see more of this type of asymmetric gameplay for VR.
