@OldGamer999 Thanks, have to go 55" as that's big enough for the room. I use it as work office and gaming den. Only sit a couple of feet from it. 😂 I got the 55" S95d last year, but using it to replace the old TV in the living room. That's the only reason I'm changing. Giving the living room TV to my wee nephew for his gaming setup.
Pro plates and gold controller arrived today. New LG G5 arrives tomorrow so holding off starting it until that is setup. It's awful not getting to play it for another 24 hrs!
Glad I've hardly had to pay anything for mine and got 2 years of ultimate free left thanks to reward points. Though they made a massive change where u can't use reward points directly for gamepass sub. Now have to get credit using the reward points and then use that to pay the sub. Will see what the service is like when my free sub ends if I start paying or not. By that time every MS game will probably be coming day 1 to PlayStation anyway.
I had been looking forward to Yotei so much I had forgotten about this beta. Gaming room will be without a TV on Thursday. So will be testing out the G5 with this and Yotei on Friday.
The greatest game of all time only cost 60 million! Yotei also has a lot of other stuff selling (hardware) that will only help profits. Really looking forward to getting to play Yotei. Hopefully will get as much out of it as I did with GoT.
As a mostly single player gamer this is great news. Playstation has always had excellent single player games. The shift in focus to mostly live service was a bit of a strange move. The absolute clusterf of Concord probably helped them shift the focus back to single player again.
@Ricky-Spanish Yes, currently have PS5 Pro and series X. With the playstation being my main console. Been the same for the last couple of generations. The Playstation has always been my main console and the Xbox more just for Xbox only games like forza Motorsport and Horizon. With more or less free gamepass since with started I didn't feel the need to build up my collection of games on the Xbox side.
Is there any word on how many units helldivers 2 has sold on xbox? It probably hasn't sold the numbers expected. I don't buy games on Xbox, it's only used for gamepass. I'm sure there are quite a few others like me.
I can't see Sony bring any of their heavy hitters to xbox. At most it will be the live service games and that's if helldivers 2 has done well. If it hasn't then there is no benefit to Sony to continue with Xbox.
@KundaliniRising333 So I reply to u saying if u didn't enjoy the first game u won't enjoy this game and that Yotei is going to be an evolution rather than a revolution from the first. Ur response is that I'm attacking u and living in an echo chamber. Standard defense of young people today. I hope I didn't raise ur anxiety levels.
@KundaliniRising333 If u didn't enjoy the first game ur not going to enjoy this game. They've made a number of changes, but it's going to be evolution rather than revolution.
With all this penny pinching they still need to make sure the PS6 is a decent upgrade on the PS5 Pro. If it's not, I'll hold off and wait for the PS6 Pro. As with the talk of it being something like the switch 2, that functionality doesn't interest me.
@Ellie-Moo Wow they sold out fast. Great to be able to get them as I think they look stunning. Nice getting both controllers. I was originally going to go for both controllers but got the 30th anniversary edition when they opened up again.
Hopefully I can get the Pro covers and gold controller. I decided to go for the anniversary grey controller when they reopened the orders instead of getting the black Yotei controller.
@Blauwe_Chimay don't think it's about being able to see yourself, more about what people see when shooting u. I'm hoping they keep it sensible. COD is awful for the skins.
Glad some action is being take to stop such obvious copyright infringement. Don't get anyone that thinks copying a game and slightly changing it makes it OK. Sony should have gone all in on the damages. When u say "irreparable injury" you think of a high number, as high as possible.
From the way things are going the only reason to buy the next gen Xbox is just for gamepass and if u care about playing PC games. At this point I'll just keep the series X until it dies and will replace the PS5 Pro with the PS6.
Really hope it's a streaming device like the portal and not something that will limit games. Like how all series X games have to be able to run on the series S.
So the theory from Ghost of Tsushima is that Jin's mother is fox and father is the bird. Or the other way round, so would make sense that Jin would want to assist the next ghost. Def has to be a mythic tale about Jin in Yotei. If his story is cannon then it'll be known about by those in this game.
Glad that the revenge on the 6 isn't the be all end all of the game. Had been thinking it might have been the whole thing and then that would just be additional stories through the side quests.
Comparing to AC Shadows, I wiped out a circle of more people with no idea who they were or why they needed to die. Was just messing about exploring and stumbled into this house which started a cutscene where I ended up fighting and killing what turned out to be the main guy. Then a pile of people turn up at his house after I killed him and they're all on the circle! So they all died. 😂😂

Re: Sony Celebrates 20 Years of God of War with New PS5 Controller
Awful and poor effort. Thankfully as I already have the 30th anniversary and gold Yotei controllers ordered. The Ragnarok one looks far better.
Re: First Wolverine PS5 Gameplay Is Incredibly Gory, Set for Fall 2026
I'd say that's a day 1 must buy for most people. Looks stunning!
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Goes All-Out with 18 Maps at Launch
That's some amount of maps though. Remember when people were complaining there were hardly any.
@nessisonett Yes those 2 great. Not a massive fan of the other one. The 3 of them are in Cold War.

Re: Rumour: Kratos to Wield 'Egyptian Sword' in God of War's Next Main Game
I can't wait for more God of War.
Would really love a full on remake of all the Greek games. Imagine playing them with graphics like Ragnarok!

Re: Sony Removes Multiformat Revenue from Strategic Indicators
@TrollOfWar Wow, if thise are accurate it's done really well! It should bode well for other live service games going over like Marathon.

Success! Got the Pro plates and gold controller pre-ordered.
Re: Could You Be Persuaded to Watch a Call of Duty Movie?
Maybe if based on the original MW trilogy.
Re: Sony Finally Fixes Free PS5 Game on PS Store, Access Not Yet Revoked
It's not worth it, even for free.
Re: You Can Still Claim This Free PS5 Game in PS Store Cock Up
Maybe it's not an error....
Re: Sony Opens Up Ghost of Yotei PS5 Console, Accessories Pre-Orders Next Week
Hopefully I can get the Pro covers and gold controller. I decided to go for the anniversary grey controller when they reopened the orders instead of getting the black Yotei controller.
Re: There's More to Ghost of Yotei's Mysterious Wolf Companion Than We Thought
I promise to feed it and take care of it.
@Oram77 Same here, def has to Jin's spirit.
Re: Shinobi: Art of Vengeance DLC Adds Dr. Eggman and Other Classic SEGA Villains in 2026
@graymamba Flashbacks of not being able to save still haunt me to this day. Soo many good games from the mega drive era though.
Re: Rumour: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7's Campaign May Force You into Multiplayer
BO7 devs: how can we make hell on earth. Glad it's gone "free" on gamepass so I don't have to buy it anymore.
Re: Don't Believe the Speculation About PS5's Fairgames Getting Cancelled
TBH I thought it had been cancelled. Will probably be cancelled at some stage before it's release though. 😂
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Will Go Up Against Battlefield 6 from 14th November
Removed Battlefield 6 from the wishlist. Will be sticking with COD.
Re: PowerWash Simulator 2 Has a New Trailer Just to Announce Its Price
That is an absolute bargain! Day 1 no questions asked.
Re: Battlefield 6 Open Beta: All Weekend 1 Start Times and Server Queue Wait Times
I seem to hit some bug where no games will start. Just go back to the title screen.
Re: New Ghost of Yotei PS5 Gameplay Footage Highlights Kusarigama Weapon in Gory Combat
That looks stunning! Really can't wait for this game.
Re: Battlefield 6 Open Beta Rewards You for Playing on PS5 with Exclusive Skin
@Blauwe_Chimay don't think it's about being able to see yourself, more about what people see when shooting u. I'm hoping they keep it sensible. COD is awful for the skins.
Re: Battlefield 6 Open Beta Rewards You for Playing on PS5 with Exclusive Skin
@Blauwe_Chimay What else are people that are shooting u going to see?
Re: Preview: PowerWash Simulator 2 Is Bigger, Better, and as Satisfying as Ever
A game I'll happily pre-order!
@BloodyBlact You'll be waiting a while, they moved the team supporting VR to other projects.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing the Battlefield 6 Beta?
At this stage it's either this or nothing for MP shooters for me. COD is complete trash now.
Re: Clair Obscur Director Says Turn-Based JRPGs Are Still Seen as 'Uncool'
Never been a fan of JRPGs, nevermind turn based anything.
Re: Cute Co-Op Game Hela Puts Mice on PS5 in 2026
Spidermouse, Spidermouse, does whatever a Spidermouse does.
Glad u can play it in single player, rather than it forcing u to do it co-op.
Re: Rumour: Leaked PS6 Specs Reveal Affordable, Power Efficient Next-Gen Console
"The biggest challenge for the platform holder will be converting players from the PS5 to the PS6"
It'll be even harder getting people to move from PS5 Pro to it if it's not a big enough difference.
Could see PS5 Pro gamers going to PS6 Pro.
Re: 'I Don't Think It Needs Nicki Minaj': As Call of Duty Skins Become Stupid, Battlefield 6 Will Stay 'Grounded'
Tempted to give this a go since COD MP is just pants at this stage.
Re: 'We're Really Building It Out as a Platform': EA Going 'All In' on Battlefield 6
Will this be able to fill the COD shaped hole in my life?

Can see these only being Sonys GaaS that will be ported.
Re: Xbox's Gears of War: E-Day Seemingly in Development for PS5
From the way things are going the only reason to buy the next gen Xbox is just for gamepass and if u care about playing PC games. At this point I'll just keep the series X until it dies and will replace the PS5 Pro with the PS6.
Re: PS6 Handheld Becomes More Legit with New PS5 Power Save Mode
Really hope it's a streaming device like the portal and not something that will limit games. Like how all series X games have to be able to run on the series S.
Re: Reminder: This Is Your Last Chance to Grab PS5's Glorious 30th Anniversary Collection
Order the controller last night.
Re: Poll: 5 Years Later, What Do You Think of Ghost of Tsushima?
Greatest game of all time and there hasn't been anything near as good since.
Re: Don't Expect Ghost of Tsushima, Jin Sakai References in PS5 Sequel Ghost of Yotei
So the theory from Ghost of Tsushima is that Jin's mother is fox and father is the bird. Or the other way round, so would make sense that Jin would want to assist the next ghost. Def has to be a mythic tale about Jin in Yotei. If his story is cannon then it'll be known about by those in this game.
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Celebrates 5 Year Anniversary with Free PSN Avatars
Will be changing my PSN avatar for the first time in I don't know how long. Maybe ever!
Re: There's More to Ghost of Yotei's Story Than Its Revenge Quest
Glad that the revenge on the 6 isn't the be all end all of the game. Had been thinking it might have been the whole thing and then that would just be additional stories through the side quests.

@RBMango Same here, glad it's a linear storyline.
