@ZeroSum haha I totally appreciate that. To be clear, I clean mine every couple of months 👍

Happens with me on AC shadows too. Its getting really annoying. I get shouted at when I say it but I just don't think PS5 is particularly well designed. Have dusted mine out multiple times (first time I have ever had to do that in 30 plus years of gaming, where i have never had overheating issues before), and that isnt resolving the problem. I even had to replace my launch PS5 due to overheating issues.

I appreciate games are getting more demanding, and systems more complex (and it's hot in the UK right now, but other countries are this hot all year around) , but another rethink is needed in terms of cooling solutions for PS6.

Would have been amusing if miyamoto was credited in this but not Mario Kart.

Doesn't bother me. The 10 SEGA racers will be added for free so no one has to buy the dlc characters which presumably have a licence fee attached. Game looks excellent

One of my top 3 games of all time. Completely refined everything that was in need of more polish in the first game imo. It plays and looks beautiful, and I loved the story regardless of the hate.

Can only be a good thing because it means they are treating the game with love and respect that will only result in a better game as a consequence. Can't wait for this

@graymamba @sanderson72 @Juanalf @REALAIS yeah I try to clean it every couple of months. It COULD just be Assassins Creed Shadows (I remember hearing all about FF16 having issues - although that isn't something I replicated), but my PS5 has popped up a message a few times warning me it's overheating.

It's quiet as a whisper when streaming tv etc, but games like like a dragon, FF7, and AC shadows make the fans go into overdrive. This is my second unit too, so either I am very unlucky or there is something wrong with my set up.

I have the system standing vertically with plenty of ventilation on all sides, so im not really sure what else it could be

Can the PS6 please make even more efforts to prevent overheating. The PS5 seems to have real problems with this

Problem for Sony is unless they are bringing something new to the table, people are not going to invest in the game. WoW, FFIV, Fortnite Warzone, Genshin etc already have the market sewn up and people won't move from games they have invested years and money into to play essentially the same game elsewhere. That's why concord failed, it did absolutely nothing new that gamers hadn't already been playing. And it's why Marathon is likely to struggle when you consider the competition. Helldivers worked because it was different, and is why Factions likely would have worked if completed.

I guess we'll have to wait and see (but I can't see myself playing these types of games)

I'm still not sure how they concluded that dreams was not worthy of a PC port to keep that community alive.

If only people had warned about this for years and years....

Will wait and see what happens when they release, but at the end of the day they can still be sold at more competitive prices between different retailers and resold so it doesn't make the physical release redundant, even if its problematic for preservation.

That's always been the key difference for me and why i keep buying physical. I could buy for 70 quid on the store, or get games significantly cheaper both at launch or on sale at a later date, and if I don't like it or have had my fill, I have the option to sell it on in the future.

@Oram77 Haha oh totally. Have been a ps player since 1997 and don't plan on going anywhere else! But for younger generations without the brand loyalty? I think that's what MS might be banking on in the long run.

As others have suggested, this is potentially an effective marketing strategy from Microsoft. Of course, you don't have to pay $80, you could buy an Xbox and game pass and play it as part of the cost of your subscription along with all these other games. Over time it could entice alot of players

Persona 6 would be nice

Absolutely a day 1 buy. Cant wait for this

I agree, this definitely gave off judgment vibes. Very excited to learn more!!

Absolutely delighted. Lumines Electronic Symphony was a complete surprise and addiction for me on the Vita. Can't wait to play this!

Had low expectations and this exceeded them in nearly every way this evening. A fewtitles I would have culled (I dont need to see any more of Baby steps, thanks!) but overall a very solid show.

Lumines is back. That started stuff off 100% on a positive footing. Then getting to see titles like Bond, the new Marvel fighter, Final Fantasy Tactics (not IX, but i think an announcement is coming in July), Silent Hill, Sword of the Sea and the long awaited return of pragmata presented a lot to enjoy here!

I'll look forward to the Ghost of Yotei SOP in July too!

I do wonder if there will be remasters of the Resistance games here given their removal from PS Plus Premium .

Will keep expectations low for this and hopefully be surprised

Hope the 30 % off includes PS plus essential and isnt only for upgrading to a higher tier / new customers only.

I'd also be tempted if there was a good discount on a portal

Tomb raider. Please 🙏

@Oram77 Enslaved - Odyssey to the West remains one of my favourite games.

The switch eshop is infected with this stuff too which really does beg the question how it is getting onto the store in the first place.

Wouldn't be surprised if Rockstar also wanted to get their feet wet on Switch 2 to see what it's capable of before making a decision on porting GTA 6 to the system. Wouldn't be surprised at all if it's true. I actually picked up RDR 1 again on the switch because it felt like a novel way to replay it. What a game

@Shepherd_Tallon personally think that would be the best solution

@Zazu Killer Instinct Gold is being added to Switch 1 NSO collection. No need for switch 2 yet 🙂

I am only subscribed to essential and have no incentive to increase to a higher tier as my backlog is embarrassing enough to the point I know i wouldn't get the most out of the digital catalogue.

Extra does seen to be the sweet spot for those that can benefit from the catalogue - i don't think Sony has yet done enough to justify the premium tier and think it would benefit from a rethink going forward.

I think it sends a really positive message to smaller partners about partnering with playststion in the future if anything

Only way I see this being true is if the remake of 4 is actually real - and even then, perhaps for a mission or two within a restricted section of the map

I kind of fell off THPS after the 4th game as it entered the jackass era so I could take or leave a remake of underground tbh.

Personal preference would be to take the pure style of the first 4 games and make a new one next tbh, but I do appreciate THUG is held dearly in the hearts of many

Apparently I own borderlands 2, pre-sequel, and 3 through ps plus - I shall look forward to obtaining borderlands 4 via the same route in a few years

Wonder if we will see another Rockstar game (RDR3?) release in the 2020's after GTA6 launches 😬 have to assume not

Sadly from a business perspective, I suspect Sony look at the amount of time players put into those older titles on PS Plus, and are of the view that they are better off focussing elsewhere where there is likely to be a better return on their investment

I think this will only benefit the game tbh. Not everything needs an open world

Loved Control. Hope they release physically at launch. Feel the digital approach hurt Alan Wake 2 in the long run

Still physical wherever possible here. In fact my copy of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza arrived on my doorstep today and i recently bought AC Shadows, Clair Obscura, and Silent Hill 2 physically over the past month.

The trend does worry me, but £7.63 billion remains a figure that Sony and third party publishers wont want to ignore in the UK - not everyone will want to transition to digital. And GTA6 is likely to pull a lot of casual gamers into this system and will likely sell very well physically.

I guess a big factor here is that Xbox has effectively gone digital only (can't remember the last Series X game i saw on the shelves) so the physical market has shrunk significantly since last gen

I suppose my one concern is if the new playstation handheld is only compatible with digital purchases made on PS5. I can see myself wanting to pick one up, but if it means I have to double dip on games, then that might start to push me to buy more digital titles. But I have no plans to do so until I have no option to do otherwise

No interest in remakes. The games are too long to justify a replay. I say this as someone absolutely loving AC shadows currently.

Hopefully some of these titles are shorter games like mirage that you can play through in 20 or so hours

I suspect some of these are mobile only games too.

Looks brilliant but would like to see some content of the game actually being played so we can get a proper feel for it in action.

Will be a long year for sure. Game is shaping up to have a great story by the looks of things at the very least

Makes complete sense for Microsoft to release the halo titles one by one. Will maximise revenue that way

I'm just glad the delay has been announced now so other companies can plan out theor own release schedules.

I'll pick this up whenever it lands, but I have plenty to play until that time and won't lose any sleep over this

With a year to go, how much might video games cost by then!

I can't see myself paying that price for anything they release tbh. Will wait for a deep sale or not buy it at all. That goes for all companies. A game would have to be mighty special

Glad I picked up on Friday given Amazon is now showing the physical will be back in stock in 1-2 months! It's so refreshing to see everyone uniting around a game like this. Have to hope the bigger publishers sit up and learn from this.

I'll wait to learn more but if it plays like SAO and the Caligula Effect i might struggle to get into this one. Will wait and see.

@PlatinumMikey haha yeah I reflected after my comment and decided to buy it now too - to support the devs and to send a message that we need more games like this! Hope you enjoy it when you get it 🙂

I'll be getting this as soon as I finish Assassins Creed Shadows. Congratulations to the whole team

SNK / Fighting Fury was the main sponsor of WWE Wrestlemania too. Must have cost them a fortune advertising this thing

@Marquez Great effort 👏 I just did the butterfly questline around Osaka. So enjoyable. Will feel strange changing to Yasuke when we get to it 😄

Glad I sold my hoard last night so hopefully by the next time I need to sell items the feature has been returned. Loving this game and i am still only in the Naoe section at the start - 12 hours in 😅
