That's a well worded update that hopefully means people will treat speedrunning with the respect it deserves. I don't generally enjoy the glitchy categories either but there are plenty of other categories available that are more fun to watch if people want to seek them out.
@danlk1ng Even at their sales prices the new PS Plus Extra is cheaper for a year than just Miles Morales and Returnal added together. I genuinely can't figure out if Sony actually want us to sign up to it or not?
@get2sammyb Who said anything about converting existing PS5 owners? Nonsense like locking people out of a 70 quid game, increasing the grind to intentionally push them towards microtransactions and charging huge amounts of real money for cars IN A 70 QUID GAME! and then trying to justify it by essentially saying "this is for your own good" makes Sony look terrible. Maybe existing PS5 owners won't switch, but lots of undecided Next Gen first timers definitely will.
Is this still popular? (genuine question, not a dig). Feels like they have really missed the boat by not making this multiplat yet. Where on Earth is the Switch version? Will anyone still be playing when it finally comes out?
Am I right in thinking that to access GTA Online you have to play a certain amount of the single player first? If so then how would that work on PS Plus if you don't have the base game? (I think I am the only gamer in the world who doesn't own GTA V but I do have PS+)
@TheCollector316 The Uncharted one was a hoax I'm afraid. Doesn't mean it couldn't happen in the future though, I'm sure Horizon won't be the only collaboration. I love the Sonic one too and the Mario 64 set. They are doing some really great stuff lately.
I don't think we can take much from 30 mins of carefully controlled footage. Will wait for reviews of this out in the wild to see if it really has finally been fixed.
Sorry, is it meant to be surprising that a machine is better at playing computer games than a human? Of course the AI is better, hardly the gamechanger they were touting.
@ShogunRok 1. If you only own Unchartered 4 (not DLC) and upgrade for £10 do you get Lost Legacy too? 2. If I buy cheap secondhand disc of Unchartered 4 for a few pennies and pay the upgrade, am I now essentially in possession of the £45 PS5 version for a fraction of the cost?
Hi everyone, need some advice. I recently finished the main story of God of War and loved my time with it (although final battle slightly underwhelming). I did a lot of the sidequests and had thoughts of platinumning it but so far the post-game stuff (that mist world) seems like dull busy work. Is it worth persevering with some or all of it (Valkyries, ravens etc)?
Is this really needed? We've had the remastered version already so this seems like a waste of resources. Still, might as well milk it for all it's worth I guess.
@get2sammyb Yeah seems that way. Probably been emboldened by the PS5 breaking records left, right and centre despite costing almost 500 quid. Could work for them but it just feels like a hard sell, especially when considering how difficult it is to market VR - unlike a standard PS5 game.
Really worried about the cost of this. The 1st PSVR was great value but hard to see how this new one could be that affordable. Hard to see VR ever going mainstream unless they get that price down.

Forza, Xbox and Game Pass must be laughing their exhausts off at this mess.

Re: Gran Turismo 7 (PS5) - The Real Driving Simulator Makes Its Grand Return
@LiamCroft Hi Liam, as someone who has only ever liked arcadey racers before is this one for me or one for the racing sim purists only?
Re: Rumour: PS Plus PS5, PS4 Games for March 2022 Leaked Lineup Changes
Got excited when I read Ghost of Tsushima. Then I read the word "Legends"...

Re: Horizon Forbidden West's Tallneck Is Getting Its Very Own LEGO Set
@Falkirk4life It is available in UK for £69.99. That seems very reasonable indeed to me.
Re: Horizon's Tallneck Is Getting Its Very Own LEGO Set
That is gorgeous. If that price is correct then that is a steal by Lego standards too.
Not game related but check out the new Jurassic Park T Rex Breakout diorama as well.

Re: The PS Plus Game Leaks May Have Finally Stopped
It will be Horizon Zero Dawn. Mainly because I just bought it.
