Perturbator

I still think they should have picked Gabi Garcia for Abby.

@nomither6 I blame it on horse armor.

I don't think that's a problem for Sony. There will always be an audience who likes the simplicity of consoles and that "everything just works" without a lot of hassle. And a gaming PC is a whole lot more expensive, of course.

@riceNpea No that's mostly from Microsofts even worse decisions, and the brand recognition and player game catalogue (lots of games owned on the platform will make players stay) Playstation earned in the past.

As for bad decisions; hardly any new must-have 1st party games this gen, failed live service strategy (12 games and 9 are now dead?), Bungie acquisition, Concord, Factions nothingburger, failed PSVR2 strategy... I gotta run, but you get the picture.

Buying them was a good move for both Sony and ND, back in a time when Sony made mostly good decisions.

Letting people like Amy Hennig and Bruce Straley go was a bad move, in a time when Sony makes a lot of bad decisions.

I've always wondered why they don't remaster older goodies like Motorstorm, Resistance, Tokyo Jungle etc. Sony is sitting on a goldmine of great games that most users can't play anymore. I'm sure they would sell well enough to recuperate their remastering costs, especially if released on other platforms like PC as well.

Imma let you finish, but...

Play Series S games, win Series S prizes

I hope they try developing some of their ideas into a new franchise. Something more indie and cheaper to make than Dead Space/Callisto would be fine, great horror games don't necessarily need the best graphics.

Trover Saves the Universe

I never really got into Rick and Morty, and this game pretty much requires you to like that sort of humor. I just don't think its all that funny, to be honest. So what's left then is a pretty standard hack-and-slash platformer with some light puzzles.

HYLICS 2

Now this is more my jam. This is one of the weirdest RPGs out there, with a style that somewhat resembles those awkward looking animations on websites in the 90s. Lovely stuff.

It did look a bit janky in the trailers, especially the animations. But I like the setting and franchise enough to get it in a sale.

Well that's nice and all, but I prefer NTSC when given the choice.

Bioshock Infinite, which I haven't played since launch on PS3. So good, still! Just finished the campaign and about to start the DLCs (for the first time).

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Kids like stuff that us old people don't? How dare they?!

@get2sammyb This comment section is an excellent example of why this site needs nested comments. Just imagine how much tidier it would all look.

It has about 10 times more players than Overwatch 2 on Steam at the moment.

Time limit sounds like a pain in the ass. If it isn't a racing game I like to take my time.

Day after with fast-forward. Same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie.

I think you'd better just... curb your enthusiasm.

Is it just me or is that Wolverine design awful?

There's still around 1000 people playing it on Steam, but then again it was only $5 a week ago.

No. the game looks great but I think it would be too time-consuming, and I already have a huge backlog of games to play.

Left 4 Dead 2 with VR mod and DoA characters for aesthetic purposes:

Marvel Midnight Suns with my incredible character, Chuck Fabio Norris:

Micro Machines V3 was what got me to buy a Playstation at the time.

Me and friends would play it with 8 players locally and it was so much fun! You would need a multitap accessory to enable 4 controllers and then you would have to share each controller between two people to get all 8 players, so it was pretty crowded on the couch.

6/10 sounds about right for Alan Wake though. Great story and fun characters, but gameplay was pretty mediocre at best.

Vegemite...surfing... This must be the most Aussie thing I've read here yet. The only improvement I could see is adding a ", mate" at the end of every paragraph.

It's just sad how Playstation refuses to leverage their unique strength compared to Meta and PCVR by not making their big games playable in VR. Games made exclusively for VR will usually have smaller budgets because of the smaller userbase.

Just imagine games like Helldivers or Days Gone in VR. The games are already there, they just need to add the functionality, something that modders manage to do very well on PC.

Engagement numbers has been a standard of XBOX ever since they started lagging behind Playstation.

I've said it before, but Sony should really consider remaking Concord as a first person shooter Metroidvania where the characters (who everyone hated) act as bosses that you can kill to learn their abilities instead. I honestly think it could be good with the right dev, and most assets are already there.

They can call it... Drocnoc.

Who has time for gaming when there's so much cleaning to be done this time of year?!

Cleaning guns and magazines in Into The Radius VR, that is...

1. Phone
2. Games
3. ?
4. Profit!

Game looks fine already. I'd prefer King's Field remakes, as I never got around to playing those games.

Let's just pray Herman "Concord" Hulst doesn't get any creative sway over From whatsoever.

I've been travelling Into The Radius. It's like a Stalker game in VR. Awesome game!

The gun handling and other VR mechanics are very good, as you can see in this clip where I test a sawed-off shotgun in the gun range.

I have good memories of playing Haze with my flatmate at the time and laughing at the repeated quotes the NPC would say every 5 seconds. "Remember your promise to Merino! Remember your promise to Merino! Remember your promise to Merino!"

Just reskin the characters as Guardians of the Galaxy and sell it to Disney. Problem solved.

Keep the change, you filthy mole rat!

@Eduard_Brenton I would advice using this list of Gamepass games to see what games you have time for:
https://howlongtobeat.com/xbox

When I had a Gamepass trial I finished Tunic, great game!

If they had learned anything then perhaps the Sony big shots who greenlighted the thing should face consequences too, but it seems like these guys only ever mange to fail upwards.

PS5 is doing very well, but I do think that is more because of the brand established by earlier generations of Sony than anything the current leadership has brought to the table.

Looks great. Wish they would bring the mainline Metro games into VR, as well.

Just bring back Shawn Layden and Jack Tretton.

Layden + Tretton = (Professor) Layton

I'm just looking forward to that Concord TV show episode that's coming up on Netflix. Not awkward at all... nope!

@Frmknst Yeah I've played them all. I know voices tend to be a bit higher than western fare, but not to this degree.

Is that the real in-game voice? Sounds like a Smurf on helium.

@Zuljaras Have fun! The only problem is that there are so many mods that its overwhelming, to say the least. So Nexus mod lists and Wabbajack are a good start.

@Zuljaras Please use some mods, good man! I promise it makes the Bethesda games a lot better! I have Fallout 4 VR/Skyrim VR in my upcoming list too and plan on using the Mad God Overhauls + whatever else I fancy. FRIK is absolute must though (gives full body to VR):

Punching and somersaulting my way towards the conclusion of Clash: Artifacts of Chaos while enjoying the scenery.

Enjoyed this one, much more than Lollipop Chainsaw. Not sure I need to play it again though... maybe the re-remaster in 10 years.

To be honest I know very little about Roblox... but it looks so damn lame in that image, like they just copied the looks of every other brand out there.
