FF7 looks good. Didn't like the look of helldivers at all. Good show but missed some new announcements to elevate it a bit

I would be hyped if Team Ninja show Ronin. I hope the combat is epic and not dumbed down for a more casual leaning crowd

Ninja Gaiden Black and Ultima Online The Second Age

It was suprising to hear of drops to 20fps from 60fps and constant screen tearing at the bottom of the screen. Hopefully it's something that can be fixed by the time i play it, as that sounds pretty bad to be honest

I'm not sure this is a game for me, but I want to give it a try, so il be waiting 6-12months and picking it up in a sale. Hope everyone enjoys it

I am about 15hours in. The music is really awesome

Sea of Stars mainly. Just got my ship, so now I can sail around. The music is so good in this game

@TheCollector316 I dont agree, but respect your opinion

@Loamy I tried to re-read your reply to see if I got the wrong end of the stick, but could not confirm as they have all been edited alot. But if I did read it incorrectly, I would like to apoligize to you for my response

@Loamy it works in almost every other industry, so why not gaming. Its not as crazy as you think. You believe it will be worse, I believe it will be better. That's just how opinions work I'm afraid. But you seem to just want to belittle people who have a different opinion to yourself, good luck with that

@Loamy increased competition almost always leads to lower prices or less high prices. I believe the ABK deal will increased competition in the gaming industry, maybe even it out a little, and us as consumers across various platforms will benefit from that.

Nowhere am I shilling for one company, like you tried to imply by calling me a hypocrit. I am in support of the consumer

@Loamy the comment was about increased competition across the industry, which is desperately needed, not supporting one company over the other. Talk about insecure

Sony keep announcing record profits, and just keep milking their customers for everything they are worth. I stopped ps plus at the start of the year and I am glad I did.

And the usual corporate shills are here defending it like clockwork. They have no shame.

It's reasons like this why the ABK deal was needed. We need more competition across the industry, so we all win

I have completed 2 of the 3 mist trials and finally starting to enjoy it. The first 45mins of the game were really boring

I loved Ragnarok and 2018, got the Platinum on both. But playing as Atreus was easily the worst part of the 2 games. I really hope they do not make a stand alone Atreus game as hes just rubbish and not fun to.play as

@Max_the_German based on the onscreen button prompts, its running on a PC or Xbox

I have owned 3 dualsense (2 broke due to floppy triggers) and not 1 of my controllers have ever lasted more than 4 hours. Even my new Starlight Blue one that I got 2 weeks ago runs out in 3-4hours. The battery life is terrible and for a remote play only handheld, that battery length is poor

@REALAIS thank you very much for the clarification. It really needs to support all streaming services to make it attractive to potential customers.

How did someone manage to design a product with such limited function? What a total failure of a product, and I was looking forward to it!

Does this support streaming services through PSN, Gefore now or xcloud etc?

If it does I will pre order one, as I should get a lot of use out of it, when the wife and kids etc are using the OLED TV.,

But it sounds like it only supports remote play and no streaming at all? Its not 100% clear. If that is the case, its a huge failure in function and has lost a sale to me

@thefourfoldroot1 I believe this agreement is for streaming only, and wont include downloadable versions, as the cloud market was the CMAs only concern during their investigation. Sony already signed a 10year deal with Microsoft for native versions of COD. The next logical step would be to release Ubisoft + on other platforms, and not just PC and Xbox

@thefourfoldroot1 cloud streaming only for Activision Blizzard PC and console games released over the next 15 years will be given to Ubisoft - with those rights then existing in perpetuity.

In other words, if Microsoft owns Activision then the next 15 years of Call of Duty games will forever be streamable via Ubisoft's cloud services

@UltimateOtaku91 Ubisoft + is currently not on Playstation, only Ubisoft Classics.

Ubisoft + including streaming is currently £14.99 per month for those wondering, almost the same price as Gamepass Ultimate

$50 and its not even the definitive edition of the game, as it lacks multiplayer. What a time to be alive!

Just got the Platinum for Rift Apart (surprised how short it is) so I will be playing some Quake 2 campaign this weekend

Bit of a strange article. After only a handful of reviews, it is far to early to compare it to Zelda (for example) with over 140reviews. And then trying to frame it as a ps5 exclusive, when everyone knows its not? Grasping at straws comes to mind

Quake 2 is an awesome game

People expecting quality modes at 60fps on a ps5 pro are setting themselves up for some major disappointment. We have history of a pro console to keep our expectations in check (the ps4 pro and one x)

The CPU will stay practically the same, just like on ps4 pro, for compatability reasons. All you are likely to get from a pro is an increase in resolution, and maybe some settings bumped up a little. Its not going to play every game as 4k/60.

If you want 4k/60 on everything, you best open up your cheque book and write a fat cheque to a pc builder or parts supplier, because a beefy gaming pc is your only option.

The gaming industry is really in the bin lately

Just read the top gear and eurogamer reviews. Savage

$50 just to bring it up to date with the Xbox version via back compat, which runs at 4k, and is free if you own the game already.

What a joke of a price. Rockstar you suck

I imagine the first weeks sales were OK, but the game has disappeared from all the charts already and fell off a cliff.

The marketing budget was comically large

But everyone should know by now, Never go full Square Enix

@Sekijo not to hand no. But I'm sure Google will provide you what you are looking for.

Here's a quote from the CMA for example:

"in the same CMA (Competitions and Markets Authority) report where the UK regulator attempted to block the Microsoft Activision deal on UK shores.

Discussing when the Activision Blizzard benefits on Xbox Game Pass might take effect, the CMA went on record as predicting “CoD arriving on Game Pass in 2025”

It was stated multiple times during the US trial, that ABK games will be going to gamepass day 1. That's one of the main selling points of gamepass. All first party day 1

@Sekijo well Diablo will not be day 1, as its already came out before the merger closed. But yes, COD and all other ABK games will be comming to gamepass day 1 once any current contracts have ended (if there are any) Just like all the other first party games from Microsoft and Bethesda

@StrawberryTurtle Microsoft have already said in Court that COD etc will be going to gamepass

@StrawberryTurtle minecraft is consistently in the charts, and that's on gamepass

Well done Sony. The PS5 is a little behind the PS4, but has plenty of time to catch up

I got Ragnarok for £28.99 brand new from Currys a few months back in a sale.

Sonic Frontiers is also cheaper physical from Amazon, it currently £24.95 and I have seen it cheaper previously than that

I just picked up a blue dualsence to replace my second controller that broke this time playing Ragnarok a couple weeks ago. Second time the trigger springs have snapped. First controller was just RT but this last controller both RT and LT are broken and floppy. Not happy they break so easy, two controllers already since launch, but happier with the price I guess.

Finally Dolby Atmos. Owners of home theater set ups like myself are finally not being punished by Sony for actually buying decent equipment. What a stupid decision that was all along.

Let's just hope it's a good implementation, and not kind of half baked like VRR that came very late, and still worse than the competition.

Very happy

more vapourware from china that will more than likely never come out

This is actually the third lot of layoffs in the last three months at CDPR including the Molasses Flood and Gwent layoffs from May and June.

Good luck to everyone involved

When PIF purchased an 80% stake in my football club Newcastle United, there were screams of "sportwashing" from the masses

Is tencents foray into the gaming industry "gamewashing" ?

Whatever it is, its not good in my opinion

I enjoyed the game on gamepass but the price is a bit steep on PlayStation. I would wait for a sale to be honest. Good game tho

Haven't really seen what the ps5 can do when it stretches it's legs on UE5 etc.
Seems like a big mistake for Sony and/or Microsoft to release a mid gen refresh when taking that into account

@lacerz changes to the overwatch league. how is that evidence that a big amount of developers will leave after the merger

God of war deserves its sucess. Got the Platinum yesterday. Really good game that I really enjoyed

@lacerz got a source for that?

@lacerz yes I have thanks. Thats how I knew about them wanting to unionise and supported the merger

@4kgk2 I already mentioned why in my initial post, because MS recognised their attempts to unionise, where as AbK were fighting against it. The workers wanted it, and alot of them supported MS during the regulatory process

@4kgk2 alot of staff at ABK wanted the buy out as they got to unionise. I'm not sure there will be a huge exodus as they supported it

@playstation1995 thanks for the recommendation, both nioh games are awesome!

I still need to play the first game, as I heard its pretty decent.

Talking of platinum, I literally just unlocked the Ragnarok platinum a few minutes ago on give me no mercy. Really enjoyable game
