Re: Spider-Man Gameplay Shared in New Marvel's Avengers Hands On

Perryg92

Unrelated to Avengers, but part of Square Enix's Marvel catalogue, Guardians of the Galaxy is going for £29 on PS4/PS5 at Tesco if you have a clubcard.
Just spotted it added to their site, whilst browsing the Black Friday deals. Amazon has it for £35 too.
Just thought i'd throw it out there for anyone who wants to buy it.

Re: PS Store Black Friday Sale Live Now, Here Are the Best PS5, PS4 Deals

Perryg92

I'd like to get Guardians as i've heard good stuff and they added the RT mode for PS5, but there's this niggling feeling in the back of my mind that the moment I do or next week, retailers will be selling physical copies for cheaper!
Already seen Amazon Germany had it for £32 (although immediately sold out)

Tempted by The Dark Pictures Anthology Triple Pack as it's essentially £11 a go, and House of Ashes seems to be the PS5 version as well as PS4.
If Sackboy was around £25 I would have bitten.

Re: Sony Shares Huge List of PS Store Black Friday Offers, Starts Tomorrow

Perryg92

Hoping the Guardians sale is decent. If so, I'll get it. (so long as there's no physical PS5 copy for cheaper elsewhere)
Also might get the Dark Pictures Anthology Triple Pack if around 40/50% off.
And maybe Sackboy. It's currently £30 at Tesco, but if cheaper on PSN, might go for it.

Already have Psychonauts 2, but curious what it'll go for tomorrow.

Re: Poll: What Game Will Win at The Game Awards 2021?

Perryg92

I've been an absolutely huge Ratchet & Clank fan since the original ps2 game, but sadly Rift Apart left me underwhelmed.

Visually stunning, but the narrative I personally felt was very weak and generic compared to previous entries. I miss the corporate spoofs and tongue in cheek humour of the ps2 games... Also was expecting the Rift mechanic to be utilised way more and similarly to one of the world's in Crack in Time on ps3 where you constantly go back and forth in time to change the outcome of the present world.

For me game of the year goes to Psychonauts 2... Enjoyed every minute of it to 100% completion.

Re: GTA Trilogy's Rain Is Giving Fans a Headache

Perryg92

Remember Take Two said that the success of this would determine if they make a Red Dead Redemption remaster.... Anyone want to see that get butchered too? Have John Marston look like a Mii character?

My question now is, are Rockstar looking at these plethora of issues, angry that their reputation is being tarnished by Grove Street Games and potentially will get their own in house devs to assist in massive patches?
Or just ignore it because this'll likely still sell major numbers and GTAO is raking in a ton of cash for them on a daily basis.

Re: Psychonauts 2 Treated to a PS5 Patch

Perryg92

Ooooh curious! I thought it already looked and ran great on my PS5 via BC on both my 4K OLED and 4K Projector.
I just need to collect the odd figment and Psi marker here and there to 100% it, so might jump back in now the QOL features have been added in too!

Re: Mafia: Definitive Edition Joins PS Now Along with Final Fantasy IX, Celeste

Perryg92

Nice! Presume Mafia is downloadable?
if so, will download to my PS5.

Thank you PushSquare team for pointing out the recent £25 for the year sub.
Previously had PS Now near the start of its launch on PS4 when it was waaaay more expensive so cancelled after around 3 months.

Jumped back on it now and it's definitely improved! Already jumped into a few PS3 games like Killzone and Infamous 2 with zero streaming issues.
Was a tad gutted though to have subbed 3 days before RDR2 left the service. But hey ho! £25 for the year feels a steal and sure gonna have alot of fun trying out a bunch of games.

Re: The Devil In Me Will Be Dark Pictures Anthology's Season One Finale

Perryg92

Really loved Until Dawn, but still on the fence with this anthology!
Been eyeing up the triple pack. Should I give it a try?
Also assuming House of Ashes is the only one that has PS5 benefits? Little Hope and Man of Medan didn't get any free upgrade patches?

@LiamCroft there is physical for the triple pack. going for around £43-45.

Re: Apple Music Could Be Coming to PS5

Perryg92

Sony definitely seem to be doing side deals with Apple at the moment.
Recently bought a Sony OLED and despite it being a Google Android OS, it had Apple TV exclusively for Sony.
Then TV+ offering 6 months free for PS5 user (great fun watching Ted Lasso, Mythic Quest, CODA btw)
Now this!

Re: Kena: Bridge of Spirits PS4 Players Report Game-Breaking Bug When Using Taro Mask

Perryg92

Been playing the last 2hrs on PS5. Thankfully no bugs like that during my playthrough so far.
Good fun so far and visually/audibly stunning.
The only strange thing for me was for the first 5mins I felt a bit motion sick when moving the camera. There seemed to be a slight disconnect.
I'm not someone who is prone to motion sickness at all, perfectly fine playing other 60fps games, so this struck me as super weird.

Re: The Noticeable Absentees from PlayStation Showcase 2021

Perryg92

The Uncharted 4/Lost Legacy announcement wasn't even really from Naughty Dog as Iron Galaxy are handling the "Remaster".
Honestly not fussed with Factions and would like them to go in a completely different direction with a new, cheerful IP (honestly TLOU2 was depressive and even UC4 became super serious).

Would have been nice to have seen a reminder for Kena releasing soon. Could have cut the deathloop trailer by half and slotted her in.

Curious what the Concrete Genie devs are up to.
Still waiting for that Ratchet/Sly/Jak proper crossover (not counting you Move Heroes!! 😂)

Re: Spider-Man Dev Insomniac Is Making a Wolverine Game for PS5

Perryg92

Not sure if it was from a press release, but Greg Miller at Kinda Funny read out that Wolverine is being handled by the team who made Miles Morales... And it's a LOOOOONG way off.
Spiderman 1 team handling Spidey 2.
It does make me wonder if there's a 3rd team to continue Ratchet & Clank in the future... Or was Rift Apart its last hurrah :/

Re: Soapbox: Don't Let Psychonauts 2 Pass You By

Perryg92

The original game holds such a dear place in my heart so definitely getting the sequel. But perhaps in a sale as I can't bring myself to pay £50 for a digital game. I know they've heard people asking for physical to come. Hope it's the case!

Re: Rocket League Patch 2.02 Adds 120FPS Support, Available to Download Now

Perryg92

Don't have 120fps compatible TV, but cool update for those who do!
Since they added the 60FPS at 4K update and with HDR, has anyone else had weird moments driving around where the screen goes dark grey briefly?
I thought it was the effects so turned them off and still it happens and in different stadiums. A friend noticed it too whilst playing split screen.
Maybe dodgy HDR functionality in game?

Re: Upcoming PS5 Firmware Will Display Trophy Lists Vertically

Perryg92

Not sure if more Disney's issue rather than Sony, but I'd like a fix for the audio sync with Disney+ on the PS5!
Linear PCM through my surround sound is in sync, but just multi stereo on Disney+... Change the PS5 sound settings to "Dolby" (as most content on D+ is Dolby) and you get surround BUT the sync is ridiculously off!
Ended up switching to my PS4 to watch Black Widow as there's no issue on that console.

None of the other streaming apps (Netflix, AppleTV+, NowTV, Prime) seem to have this problem.

Oh and if Sony are able to do a firmware update of the Bluray drive to make 3D blurays compatible, that'd be nice
(Yes i know it's a dead medium! But for those who do have them and to watch in PSVR it would be a nice gesture)

Re: New PS5 Offer Gives Six Months of Apple TV+ for Free

Perryg92

My experience in trying to get this to work has been manic at best!... And still don't have access!

First they ask you to download the app on PS5.... Went to download it yesterday and it says the app isn't compatible with the PS5 console.
A few hrs later it downloaded and I logged in.... But it only said the free period was 7 days.
Waited till this morning... Now it says 6 months.... but my card info had expired as I haven't used Apple in a decade... You cant just update card info on the app, you have to use an Apple device or go on the web.
Went on the website, it asked security questions which I forgot (as it's been a decade) so had to redo a bunch of checks.
Finally got in and changed card details, went back to the PS5 app, went through all the processes to get the free 6 months.... and the final card says "Error! Please Try Again". :/

AppleTV+, the Dark Souls of Streaming Apps

Re: Sony Acquires Dutch Developer Nixxes to Beef Up First-Party Tech Support

Perryg92

Am I right in thinking that Nixxes did the Xbox 360 port of Rise of the Tomb Raider?
That was solid down port!

If the case that they did, my thought process is because a bunch of PS5 "exclusives" are now also coming to PS4 (God of War 2, Gran Turismo 7 etc) due to lack of PS5 consoles, Nixxes is going to help port these PS5 games to PS4 so they run just as good.

Could be entirely wrong though and the whole PC thing be the correct reasoning.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?

Perryg92

7/10 for me!
I enjoyed it: graphics were stellar, gameplay tight for the most part. Really liked the use of the adaptive triggers for the weapons BUT felt it was too short. I 100%ed it within 10hrs. Felt like I was just getting started and then it ended.
Plus, being a totally biased original ps2 Ratchet fan I just felt the story as a whole was lacking with not much character development.
I know the franchise has gone in a different direction tonally since the ps3 games to more of a heroes tale rather than satire of commercialism, but the latter is what made R&C so unique to me!
If there were a few more twists and turns with Nefarious and more time spent fighting alongside the resistance members that you only really see once (really wanted to hang more with alternate Skidd McMarxs and Quantum), I probably would have liked it a bit more.
