@HammerKirby3 @graymamba Gamepass is the only reason for it, it really is. Not having to pay for it makes it even better. 😂 Still can't keep me off the PS5 Pro though. Horizon 5 just looks stunning on it compared to the series X.
@Northern_munkey Sorry, thought I'd replied to u earlier! It could be a view thing. I use the chase cam when playing. Sent u a add on PSN. Mine is G_MANN133
@Northern_munkey I've been playing on LG CX since just before the PS5 / series X released. Then got a Samsung S95D last year. Though can't remember if I tried it on that or not.
@Northern_munkey Was on PS5 and in some cases when it was first released it was near unplayable. Even tried a uninstall and reinstall. When the DLC update released I reinstalled it and it was better but still did it. I remember reading that it was meant to only happen the first time u played a stage and then the next time it would be fine. That wasn't the case for me unfortunately. Burnout was such a great game as well. In the article I found it said they were moving away from licensed games. So I think the F1 game is going to go the way of fifa and they drop the license and just release their own game. What they're going to name the new F1 game could be interesting. EA 1 racing 😂
@VanguardKaiser I haven't played it in a while but would recommend it. It's like an old school GTA game. Lots of fighting and driving from what I can remember.
I've horizon 5 on the series X but I'm really tempted to buy it for my PS5 Pro. Just to play it again from the beginning. Love forza Motorsport and Horizon. Both brilliant racing games. Got all the old Motorsport and Horizon games installed on the series X and play them from time to time for nostalgia. Played horizon 2 so much recovering from wrist surgery. I think that's why it's still my favorite.
Day 1 and it's great. Love it and the improvements it offers. Can't wait to play Ghost of Yotei and GTA 6. It's far better than the series X. Though the base PS5 was better than the series x as well. Think the next xbox will be my last MS console.
@lazarus11 That's nuts if it's in game! Def happy to give them another year on it. After seeing how it's starting to look and come together will be a day 1 buy for me.
@PlatinumMikey I can't wait for it! The only game I've been really looking forward to since it was confirmed. Though bit worried incase the story isn't as good as Tsushima.
@DonkeyFantasy My comment was more general, rather than being specifically about u.
I would generally wait for a sale as well for most games. Either digital or physical. However I really enjoyed the story in GoT and always said I would get the next one day 1. Though couldn't justify buying the collectors edition.
Def reasons to be nervous about the quality in which games are released nowadays. Has been a case for some time to just ship it out and patch it later. Worrying once it starts becoming a thing with the big names doing this.
@DonkeyFantasy That might be the best to do for other games, but how many Sony games run like trash when they release though?
If u want the game and ur going to buy it on day 1 anyway, why not just pre-order it. There's no real reason to wait between buying now and buying on day 1.
Just think getting on like ur better than people that have pre-ordered it is a strange stance to take. Considering both will be playing on day 1.
Always a strange comment, when people say there is no point pre-ordering a digital game. Then buy it day 1 anyway. Why not just pre-order and get the free extras of ur getting day 1 anyway? What do u prove losing out on the pre-order bonuses?
I pre-ordered the deluxe edition because this is the only game I really want this year. The rest I'll pick up on sale or discounted physical editions.
Got it on Xbox, so don't need it on my PS5. Glad many more players are getting to play it though. It's a great racer. Though all the horizon games have been great.
Hadn't heard of Post Trama, so guess making drama and moaning gets more publicity than whatever they were doing before. Microsoft love shadow drops, they have done it for years for gamepass. So I would say they'll be doing multiplatform drops like this more often.
@ButterySmooth30FPS 100% The game is stunning and playing it on some think like a mobile phone screen is a waste. I'm kinda tempted to get this on sale sometime just to see the difference for myself and also use the PS5 controllers features.
@MrPeanutbutterz OLED is king! As Will Smith might say: Keep your switch level graphics off my OLED!
@Ilovecoffee I'm sure there will be some changes. Though hopefully not too many and I hope they keep the feel of Tsushima. They've already listed some of the new weapons so there's def differences. Also looks like the wolf will attack ppl for u.
Looks stunning! Really hope I can get a collectors edition ordered. If not it'll be the digital deluxe edition. Will def be finished AC Shadows by the time this drops.
@trev666 I've a feeling you're going to be disappointed. Imagine buying a game and then complaining that there's stuff in the game for u to do. Stuff that's optional as well. 😂
Don't have any need for a travel console. Maybe if I had a long commute or something maybe I'd be interested. Just not a Nintendo fan in general. Last Nintendo console I had was a Wii and no interest in buying any Nintendo product since. Only other Nintendo product I owned was a yellow Gameboy back in the day. Give me proper consoles! 😂
Oh man! I thought Sony had stopped showing games that were still years away from coming out. Am I right in thinking all Sony are releasing this year is Death Stranding 2 and Ghost of Yotei? All hail MS for getting us through these lean times. I've never used gamepass as much. 😂
I got a physical copy with the digital deluxe add-ons for £56. Thought that was a great deal compared to the price of the digital standard £70 and digital deluxe at £84! Played a decent bit and the game looks great and the combat and stealth is good. Still would have Ghost of Tsushima above it. Though this will do nicely until Yotei releases.
It's a surprisingly enjoyable and relaxing game. Haven't played it in a while though and see all the DLC is on sale atm. So might get them and get back into it for the new game releasing.
Think it'll be out next year, with the supply of series consoles drying up it makes sense. Fable will probably be a launch title. Roll on the next GPU console. They should just call it Xbox GPU1, then the next one can be GPU2. Would make more sense than their current naming convention.
After getting it day 1 and being hyped about it. The screens screwed up after a couple of weeks. Got a full refund and have not been tempted to get it again since. Even at this reduced priced I don't feel like I'm missing out.
If anyone hasn't played Ghost of Tsushima by now they should hang their heads in same. Game is truly epic and a joy to play. It really should have gotten game of the year. Though it will destroy gaming for you as nothing else will feel as good after you finish it.

Re: Nacon Reclaims WRC Licence, Will Release Official Rally Games Starting in 2027
Great news! EA WRC was such a disappointment. Stuttering and screen tearing destroyed it.
@TheArt EA closed them down from what I can recall.
Edit: Just checked, they laid off loads of staff and moved the rest onto other projects.

Re: Layoffs at Codemasters Confirmed as Developer Halts All Work on Rally Racing Games

Re: PS6 Could Be the Only High-End Next-Gen Console, As New Xbox Touted to Be a 'PC in Essence'
