@theMEGAniggle my 6 year old plays a lot of Lego games and if a game isn’t on the Home Screen he hasn’t been able to figure out navigating the rest of the system yet. On both the ps3 and ps4 we have a folder for Lego, he knows just where to go. Ps5 step backwards in terms of user friendliness on that.
I thought all the game footage was good but I was really hoping for an update on the firmware and an update on the services. They made a comment that something new was coming soon on services maybe 9 months ago and nothing, Oh and I almost choked when they said they love the opportunity to talk to their fans.
@Rob_230 I think it depends on what region you have as to whether there are correct voice actors. Think it also depends where you watch as well as if memory serves prime has different voice actors to CBeebies
@TheDudeElDuderino I agree with you to an extent. I think Sony are playing a dangerous game thinking they are safe, but if they get enough bad publicity while their console is so hard to find, people may get tired of waiting. Sony have a great launch line up but if ms can get a few games out before the masses can get their hands on the console then what good does it do?
Does anyone think Sony may be smarter than we give them credit for. By back tracking on this they now get criticism free $10 upgrades on subsequent games. Maybe that was the plan all along?
The truth of how needed this super ssd is will come from if these games get ported to grandma’s pc next year. Sony’s interest in that market does kind of contradict statements that it’s only viable with such fast hardware
@Cyxn1d3 the dlc strategy is the same as Witcher 3, some free cosmetics and weapons, maybe a mission or two, and then significant paid for expansions. This has not changed since the beginning so not sure why you are upset by that.
I started playing this again last night, there are bits where you are involved in the story that feel great but man that city feels so empty. I may hold off carrying on for this patch, I know it won’t fix the emptiness but may as well have latest version of ive waited this long.
I get the argument that they are a small team and so are having a few difficulties but if that’s the case why are they wasting resource on gimmicks like this rather than on the game
This feels like the demo they always put out then you pay to add to it? The only reason I ever saw for pes was master league so I’m disappointed by this.
I have to say I find the generic foot step implementation annoying on the dualsense. Maybe because it feels like they felt they had to do something and got lazy.
I’ve been holding offf for ps5 version so not too bad for me. But I don’t like this practice from Sony. The upgrade should be free with a fee for the expansion like ffvii. This just seems greedy.
@strawhatcrew you have a point to an extent. Maybe it is just how horrendously bad Sony are at PR at the moment. A clever company would have come out and said “we hear you and given the current climate, where possible we will strive to release games on PS4 where it doesn’t impact PS5 development”. Then I think they come off as a good guy rather than as lying.
If Sony are able to build god of war as a fantastic ps5 experience, and then strip it back so it works on PS4 then I see that as a good thing. If it’s holding back ps5 development then it may have a problem.
However, more than Sony lying, Microsoft should probably be commended for being honest and putting their plans on the table.
Final fantasy released one mainline game last gen and it needs a break? Yeah there were ports and a remake to bring some older games to new platforms but nothin excessive.
And as far as xiii goes I quite liked it, wish I could play it on modern hardware like a certain other brand can.

Probably means they are killing off Peter Parker
Re: Sony Has a Long List of 'Interesting, Exciting, Fantastic Ideas' for Future PS5 Firmware Updates
I think the concerning thing is the most wanted, needed updates are neither interesting or exciting, they are features we have previously.

Re: The Worst Thing About PS5 Firmware 21-02.04
For me the worst thing has been the 3D audio for TVs, I felt they built it up and at least on my setup it sounds horrible and muffled
Re: LittleBigPlanet PS3, Vita Servers Shut Down to Combat Hacker Issues
Few more unobtainable platinums on the list then. They’ve been down so long I was fairly certain this was going to happen.

Re: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic Remake Confirmed for PS5
I worry they will change too much and it won’t live up to the original. Given the quality of the original it’s almost a certainty.

Re: Ex-PlayStation Exec Shawn Layden Is Concerned About the Rising Cost of AAA Games
The thing is, these companies spend more on budget because they can make more money. Profits are higher than ever if you make a decent game.

@PhhhCough didn’t we get that a few years ago?

I’m not sure there is anything there for me but I thought it looked a reasonable mix

Re: Talking Point: How Would You Improve PS Plus?
I think the only think they need is someone to balance the games better, don’t give 2 sims the same month, don’t give 2 FPS the same month etc
Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.3 Details Leave a Lot to Be Desired
What’s baffling to me is they thought all this was going to be in the day one patch.

Re: Netflix to Offer Mobile Games As Part of Subscription
A better way to keep customers would be to stop increasing the price to pay for services people don’t want.
Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Could Come to Consoles If There's Demand, Says Square Enix
If only Sony had a portable system these could release on.
Re: Psychonauts 2 Trailer Is Weird and Wonderful, PS5 Performance Restricted by Backwards Compatibility
@The_New_Butler you can see what he is saying though, they’ve deliberately not made a ps5 version so it’s best on Xbox. That said I can’t blame them.
Re: Action Arcade Wrestling Grapples with PS4 from 10th August
Wrestling games were a lot of fun until probably the ps3 era, that’s around when they fell apart for me. This looks ok, might give it a go.

He still can’t get on the pitch though unfortunately.
Re: Pre-Order Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PS Store and Play the PS4 Game Today
I’d just end up with a partially finished trophy list then though, I wish they implemented cross saves/cross play like they did previous.
Re: Rumour: PS Now Adds Red Dead Redemption 2, God of War, Judgment, Nioh 2 in July
I’ve been planning to pick up the ps5 version of judgement and now I’m torn. Maybe I just play ps4?
Re: Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut Bundles in New Island Expansion, Coming to PS5 and PS4
I’ve been holding offf for ps5 version so not too bad for me. But I don’t like this practice from Sony. The upgrade should be free with a fee for the expansion like ffvii. This just seems greedy.
Re: PS Vita Messages Wiped and Functionality Disabled
This almost sucks more than the store closing. It kills functionality to invite people to play online for games you have already bought. Sad day here.
Re: Abandoned Trailer App Delayed Yet Again, This Time to August
How do you get to day of release and realise you need an extra month+?
Re: Why Ubisoft's Avatar Game Couldn't Work on PS4

Re: Aliens: Fireteam Seemingly Out 24th August, Priced at $40
@Xenomorph_79 its a shame the sales weren't there. To me it was a contender for game of the generation.
Re: PS4 Exclusive Ghost of Tsushima Could Be Coming to PC as 'Only on PlayStation' Is Removed from Box
I think this is ok but they should prob keep a few franchise exclusive, like god of war, uncharted and little big planet maybe
Re: Resident Evil Village Will Receive DLC in the Future
Seems odd that they wouldn’t have started earlier. You’d expect a dlc plan these days
Re: PS4 Saves Are Compatible with Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order on PS5
@BuGGy2DaB you need to meditate for the trophies to pop
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order the First Game to Offer Free Physical to Digital PS5 Upgrade
Hate to say it about ea, but at least on the Star Wars side they have been outstanding since battlefront 2
Re: Jim Ryan on Cyberpunk 2077: Sony Didn't Want to 'Sell a Game That Might Result in a Bad Experience'
Given the likes of assassins creed and life of black tiger I don’t believe them. It is 100% to do with cdpr wanting to allow refunds
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Is, Er, Out Now on PS5
@Dislecksier looks like you need to use meditation point to pop trophies.
I preferred the ps3/PS4/vita shared lists to be honest

We have seen how stunning work individual devs have done in the past, this might be a very good looking but small title.

@OthmaneAD We don't know it will be the GOTY edition. Often these services are used to encourage DLC sales.
