As much as I really enjoyed The Last of Us I and II, I'd love it if ND's next title was cheerful and upbeat.
Kinda feel it's needed when the real world has been very dark lately.
Why I'm looking forward to Insomniac's Spidey and Ratchet and Clank, plus Ember Lab's Kena: Bridge of Spirits too on PS5. There's an air of vibrancy and optimism about them.
The demo was great! So definitely wanting to play the full title. Was it just me or did his movement seem really slow in the trailer? It was WAY faster, playing the demo in the headset.
That's a shame for any potential PS5 games. Ready at Dawn made great PSP titles. Kinda was holding out that they may be given option to make a Jak & Daxter 4.
Cool trailer, even as a WIP. But suspect the game will be riddled with microtransactions, so nope for me!
As someone who works in post production, it was interesting to see every so often "TGA" (targa files) would appear overlaying the mp4 video. i'm guessing QC fixes for those particular frames.
Honestly thought this would be releasing around Q2 2020, so this makes absolutely no difference for me. Let Naughty Dog take their time
The only thing that I am contemplating now is if the PS5 releases in late 2020 and is fully BC with PS4 titles, should I hold off from buying TLOU2 day 1 and wait to play it on the next gen console? Whether that be via BC or a potential "Remastered/Definitive Edition" PS5 version.
I'm sure the game will play fine on PS4, but i'm starting to feel my base console is slowly showing its age a tad with these end of gen titles pushing the console to its limits.
Purchased the Croft Edition in the PSN January sale and currently midway through the campaign. So i'm happy there's more content coming whilst my interest continues @get2sammyb ... Although i suspect that to change when KH3 releases in 2 weeks time. Waited half my life (Literally) for that!
Had a PSVR headset since launch and admittedly it was a bit of a slow build for me. Rarely used it for months at a time initially. But now it's on a roll and I've got a whole variety of games (I Expect You To Die, Skyrim VR, Sprint Vector, Firewall, Astro Bot, Wipeout to name a few). Definitely worth getting now. Especially at the cheaper price point!
Looks fantastic! Adored the original PS2 game back in the day. Just super worried that the whole Starbreeze fiasco is going to cause issues. May be wrong, but I heard that they invested 40% of the development funding. Hopefully Double Fine can find a new publisher if needed.
Thanks for writing this article up for awareness Stephen!
I have relatives that are deaf and they can't enjoy the game to its fullest because of the lack of subtitles.
They don't know what is being said in the cutscenes and despite their awesome ability to lip read well, it's a lot harder to read from an animated dragons mouth.
This should be an industry standard.
I work for Europe's largest TV distribution company and the creation of subtitles/closed captions is a mandatory requirement from production companies.
It's not like Activision is a tiny company with limited resources.
@get2sammyb is the camera movement more or less the same as in the Playroom VR robot rescue?
For some reason that little demo is one of the only PSVR games that made me feel motion sick. I think it was because the camera slowly moved forward as i was looking around whilst still stationary, and it made my mind freak out from the disconnect. Hopefully I've grown immune from it after extensive VR time on other games.
It's gotta have Harry Potter & the Philosophers Stone or no dice! 😜😜 I'm all for nostalgia, but I've still got my PS2 working seamlessly to play all my PS1 games so might give this a miss.
Insomniac should just replace it with pun movie titles based on their previous games like Ratchet & Clank & Resistance. They're both Sony properties so shouldn't be any red tape. Drawing a blank though on what puns they could do!!
@get2sammyb am i allowed to ask who from the PushSquare team is reviewing Shadow? At this moment i'm SO glad I got Spidey instead! I've enjoyed the gameplay in the Tomb Raider reboot and sequel, but agree the voice acting is weird! #BringBackKeeleyHawes. Totally believe like you that Shadow will likely go on sale very quickly.
OK, Sony has insane confidence in this game! The marketing hype (& budget) surrounding this is unprecedented!
Do we even need the reviews tomorrow to tell us this is gonna be epic?
Have a feeling this is going to be Sony's best & fastest selling first party IP to date.
Awkward moment when 2 of the 3 big September games... Spiderman & Shadow of the Tomb Raider... go gold way ahead of schedule, yet the lil purple dragon unfortunately appears to be trailing behind.
I have perfectly fine internet to download, but i might be stubborn and wait to see if they actually put all 3 titles on the disc eventually.
It's so clearly a new Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup with 7 vs 7 online. I tweeted out to WB a few months ago and although they were holding the cards close to their chest, they didn't outright deny it
I know it's treason to talk Switch on a PlayStation site, but i do wonder if RAGE 2 will be the first game from Bethesda (and big AAA 3rd party - not counting the likes of EA's Fifa 18) that will be same day release for the Ninty console as well as PS4 and Xbox One??... if of course it comes to the hybrid console at all!
@get2sammyb seeing as Microsoft has released the trailer early, could this mean it'll be further shown during their E3 conference rather than at PlayStation's!?
Dun Dun Daaaaah
To be fair PlayStation has so many titles they can talk about at E3, Spidey, Spyro, Last of Us II, Days Gone, Dreams, and unannounced titles too, so it's no biggie.
@Toadie totally understand the feeling of being overwhelmed by all the games. It's just hit after hit!! And September for example is scaring me now with Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Spider-Man and Spyro all within 2 weeks of each other 😱
@Toadie good sell! Plus the handheld factor is a huge pro for me. Switch it is!!
Sorry PlayStation!!...Although you aren't out of pocket from me as i got "A Hat in Time" and "Human Fall Flat" instead in the "Totally Digital" sale 😂... (and God of War last week!)
Rushed out of my office, coincidentally running past PlayStation UK Head Office on the way xD, to buy "God of War" immediately after watching this advert! So job well done to from the marketing department. Slightly concerned though that someone's gonna be a moody moo and attempt to sue, saying it's false advertising and not representative of the game... But hopefully not.
Anyone else concerned that "2018" isn't written at the end of this trailer?!? Also either Ratatouille's restaurant is in the background or Twilight Town has just gone all European continental
Riding around on a skateboard in Spyro: Year of the Dragon was my childhood and now I can relive it in glorious HD remastered graphics But seriously, Spyro, Spiderman AND Shadow of the Tomb Raider all within 2 weeks of each other in September!... Holy Cannoli!
Watching the gameplay videos of this it totally reminds me of Jurassic Park: Operation Genesis on ps2... Not that I'm complaining because I absolutely adored that game... This will be an instant purchase from me
So glad that PlayStation are seriously supporting VR. Was honestly nervous that it'd get the Vita treatment when getting my launch day headset but they have pleasantly surprised me... I've got a hefty backlog of VR games to play, including Sprint Vector, Statik and Knockout League I got just this week alone. And now Wipeout is on the list.
But in all seriousness, it might have been a better option to have made an AC III, Rogue and Black Flag compilation..."The North America Trilogy" or something of the like to be slightly more enticing
This game looks awesome! I trust Frontier to make a great game and If this game is anything like Operation Genesis....I'm sure it'll be way better... I'm in and definitely getting it on PS4
Awww still no Psychonauts guess it's still trying to get the PEGI rating. Could just boot the game up on my old PS2 but reeeeally wanna play it in 1080p, with trophies and no crashes
Decided to get this retail copy after hearing it's praise on Kinda Funny podcast (and of course here at pushsquare )
Preordered for £24 on Amazon with all the extra stuff. Definitely a steal!
Can't wait to play it!
Waited 2 hours to find a match and still nothing happened, so went back to going through my backlog of other PS4 games. At least the tutorial was kinda cool showing off the features.
Alien Isolation or Dragon Age Inquisition for me and my PS4
Also i think there is a typo on the PS3 Alien Isolation price, saying original price £39.99/ offer price £49.99. If that's the case then that's not a very good deal xD
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi although a vastly different era, remember that the multiplayer for Goldeneye N64 was a last minute add on, done in less than a month and yet revolutionized the industry. As NomNom says, Naughty Dog have pedigree (pun intended) with multiplayer with their prior ganes, so it's in good hands,
If you check Insomniacs twitter page they say that R&C PS4 will NOT be at GDC but they will be there to discuss the production of Sunset Overdrive. Awkward!! However I do have a feeling though that R&C will be officially unveiled shortly afterwards. FIngers crossed! The series was stunning on PS2 and Pixar-like on PS3 so what they can accomplish on PS4 will no doubt be amazing!
Thanks Pushsquare for using my news tip and writing a little article on it!!
It's super cool of you guys, especially putting my name at the end of it You wrote that super quickly considering I only sent it like an hour ago!
Hyped for this movie and the re-imagined game.
@BLPs Insomniac has said it's coming in 2015 but to ignore rumours that it is a spring release, I also tweeted them personally and they said information for the Ratchet & Clank re-imagining will be given "Soon enough".
So I am guessing at the earliest a June/July release.
I said this before when the original Todd Stashwick voiced teaser surfaced, but I have a feeling that this "brother" could actually be an old childhood friend from when Drake was sent to St. Francis Boys Home and he's seeking vengeance for being left behind whilst Nate assumed a new identity
EA are going to publish a new series of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games! Exclusive for WiiU and that old skool "EA games challenge everything" intro makes a return! xD
As a KH fan since the original in 2001, I was really looking forward to re-playing II and BBS again, but unfortunately my PS3 decided to get the yellow light of death a few weeks ago and so I moved onto PS4. Hopefully they'll release the collection on that as well some point soon

Re: PS Plus July 2020 PS4 Games Announced

Erica was a bit of a disappointment.
No interest in NBA 2K20.
No matter! I've got a huge backlog to get through still during lockdown.

Re: PS5 Will Be Compatible with PSVR, Says Mark Cerny
Really happy to know to know that my PSVR headset will be compatible with PS5 (although curious to know if we'd still need the breakout box??).
BUT if they release a PSVR 2 at the same time as PS5 with a higher resolution screen, I can imagine I will jump on that.
