I picked up a copy of The Quarry for under £10 on the PSN sale so I'll give that a go tonight when my son's gone to bed. He'll be busy on the new Astro Bot level today.
I'll wait and see once the game is released what all the fuss is about, I very rarely buy games day one now anyway. There's absolutely no denying that many developers are using the gaming space as a platform to push their progressive mantra from but I don't believe this is one of those studios.
I fear for this industry because AAA gaming is becoming unsustainable, not only are the development budgets reaching ludicrous levels but we also have the medium being used by certain people and groups to push political messages, this is causing division amongst gamers which in turn leading to games failing to reach sales targets. Make no mistake Concord will have absolutely terrified Sony, I'm just glad I lived through so many great eras of gaming.

@commentlife If you know, you know.
Re: Some Fans Think This Smile Is Proof Avowed Is Coming to PS5
The cover art is a red flag to me, I won't support this until I know much more about it.

Re: PS5 Pro Proves the Console of Choice for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
@lazarus11 60fps still isn't worth paying £700 for if you already have the base PS5 model.
Re: PS5 Pro Proves the Console of Choice for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2
Cool if you can afford one, personally I'm not spending £700 to have slightly better resolution on certain games lol. (That includes GTA6)
Re: Ex-PlayStation Boss Says Sony 'Can't Get Away' with a PS6 That Has No Disc Drive
I will always buy a disc based console over a digital.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 (PS5) - Immersive Knight Sim Makes for a Peerless RPG
Still not buying....🤷♂️
Re: Former Rockstar Animator Doubtful GTA 6 Will Run at 60fps on PS5
I doubt any console will run this at 60fps, and only top end PC's will run it at 60fps when it eventually gets a release on PC.
Re: Dragon Age: The Veilguard, FC 25 Underperform, Force EA to Lower Financial Forecast
@Darylb88 Was this available on EA Play? If so I'd be interested to see the actual sales numbers.

Re: More Astro Bot Content on the Way as New Speedrun Level, Bot Revealed
Cool, my son still plays this game every time he's at mine 💙
Re: Shuhei Yoshida on PSVR2: 'I'm Sorry'
I'm a huge PlayStation fan going back all the way to the PS1 but there's no denying they've made some poor decisions this generation.
Re: Reaction: Sony's Live Service Push Has Been a Disaster of Utterly Insane Proportions
Can't we just get back to fun single player games? No live service, no race/gender politics, just fun immersive single player experiences.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Script Reputedly Dwarfs That of Lesser RPGs
@Sarcasmatwork Yes I was referring to Baulders Gate 3.
Re: Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag Remake Is All But Official Now, More Than a Graphics Upgrade
I'm one of the few who didn't really like this game.

@Bagwag82 Atomfall looks interesting.
Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2's Script Reputedly Dwarfs That of Lesser RPGs

Re: Dynasty Warriors: Origins (PS5) - Peak Dynasty Warriors Is Back with an Almighty Bang
@ShogunRok I haven't actually played a Dynasty Warriors game since the PS2, I remember they had fun battles but not much in the way of story.

Re: You'd Better Believe The Last of Us 2 Demands a PSN Account on PC
The first game is all that's important to me, I'm not interested in Pt 2 or the TV series.
Re: Hideo Kojima Is Still 'Building' Death Stranding 2
@Oram77 Kojima has already said his next game will be his final game and a return to tactical espionage.
Re: Housemarque's Swanky New Office Is Ready for Business, Complete with Awesome Returnal Spacesuit
@Brundleflies21 Honestly it was too difficult for me so I didn't get to experience all of the game, I hope their next game isn't a rogue-like.
Re: Hideo Kojima Is Still 'Building' Death Stranding 2
@somnambulance PlayStation jacket is pretty cool tbh.
Re: Hideo Kojima Is Still 'Building' Death Stranding 2
We're only just into the first month of the year so I'm hopeful we'll still get it in 2025.
Re: DOOM: The Dark Ages, Expedition 33 News in Next Xbox Developer Direct
Doom is the only game shown there that I have even the slightest interest in.
Re: Ubisoft 'Deeply Disturbed' by Abuse Allegations at Assassin's Creed Shadows Support Studio
@R_Ryder No, I have literally zero interest in AC Shadows. I've enjoyed AC games in the past but I won't be buying this game for a number of reasons.

Re: This Is Why Call of Duty Is Not Gonna Stop Launching on PS5
@Slayer25c It's also the reason people will have to get used to all the cheesy skins, paints, etc. They have to recoup that money somehow.
Re: This Is Why Call of Duty Is Not Gonna Stop Launching on PS5
Wow, that kind of development cost dwarfs even the biggest Sony 1st party games.
