@Papa_Godzilla having sympathy for people working hard to entertain millions and provide for their families wouldn’t go amiss. But no, you go and dump on their work, no worries. Also Mediatonic worked on more than just Fall Guys.
Final Fantasy and Spider-Man look great and all (and yay for Tales of Arise DLC!), but in terms of sheer announcements/surprises it was pretty low key.
I don’t normally dunk on these too much, but it’s definitely a weaker month and the news of the price rise is very poorly timed. Hopefully next month will pick it up again. Again shows how much comparative value game pass presents.
Echoing what a lot of others said, I'd have gladly paid for a standalone PS5 version of this. Great little game and my kid is loving it. Tried browsing for some other stuff in Dreams but didn't find anything particularly compelling at a first glance - will try to get back to it for a deeper look eventually but I can see how it could be a drawback for the game as a platform. Also a bit annoying to have to go through a Dreams tutorial before I could access Tren.
I would have been super excited for Dreams if it wasn't literally about to be canned. I'll still download it and have a casual browse but it's disappointing that the game isn't being continued properly on PS5.
I thought it was OK. Too many dull shooty AAA games (yawn) and the inevitably rubbish GT movie but there was still some nice stuff in there. Phantom Blade 0, Spider-Man, Final Fantasy XVI and Alan Wake 2 were the highlights from the AAA side for me and I’m really excited for the indie titles they showed. The streaming handheld and headphones look good too, interested in maybe picking those up.
But yeah, I guess the heady heights of Sony’s E3 shows a few years back are gone for good and that is disappointing for sure.
I was gifted a code for the new expansion so I thought I’d give it a go after not really playing since Destiny 1. I’m enjoying it - there’s fun to be had for sure. But the story is poorly acted nonsense for the most part, and it’s ridiculously unfriendly to new users. Also visually it’s really showing it’s age. When I heard the new expansion was set in a neon lit city I thought it sounded cool but it looks so dull and the citizens are just low detail holograms for some arbitrary and barely plausible reason. Despite all that I’m finding it enjoyable and I’ll probably play for the rest of the season, but have to admit I’d definitely be up for a sequel that simplifies the story and ups the production values.
If the plot is good enough then I think I’m going to really enjoy this, but I think I’ll be waiting to see what the reviews are like first. Voice acting, music and art seem on point though so fingers crossed!
Sounds like a clever feature and totally makes sense for a revised core model. Happy enough with my current version though, so I’ll be hanging on for the inevitable Pro version, as I’m sure most others on here will be.
Bit torn on this. I enjoyed elements of the main game and kinda wished there was a more satisfying ending, but I found it was way overhyped in the reviews as others have said here. Will wait and see but with so many other things out there to play, I’m not sure.
Wasn't sure yesterday but after thinking about it I'm tempted to go for it - missed out on VR last gen and I want to see what all the fuss is about. If I don't enjoy it I expect I'll easily be able to get the money back as they're bound to be in short supply.
Hot Wheels is great, found it got repetitive after a while but enjoyed the time I spent with it. Haven’t tried Superhot so looking forward to that but can’t say I’m too fussed about Injustice. Solid month!
@OneWingedAngel appreciate the heads up but not to worry, well aware of what the game is all about! Can see why it’s not for everyone but I think I’m going to enjoy it.
I’ll be tempted to pick up the PS5 version eventually but no chance on the limited edition, all the extras look totally naff and tacky. Would sooner drop the cash on an actual high quality print.
I was pleasantly surprised - haven’t played a Tekken game since 3 back on PS1 but for some reason I’m very excited for it. The Yakuza announce was a nice surprise, the Ronin thing could be good, Stellar Blade is looking like a potential Bayonetta killer and God of War just looks ridiculously, unbelievably good.
I think the only possible megaton I’d even hesitate to guess would be possible would be Silent Hill. If that happens they can show 19 minutes and 30 seconds of farm sims and I’d still be giddy.
At the very least I’m just hoping some nice indie games, maybe some confirmed western releases of some of the titles from the Asobu showcase in the summer.
I remember watching a play through of the fan translation for this thinking it wasn’t as good as the others (the original trilogy was near enough perfect), but I’m still super excited and can’t wait to play it. Just hope this means we’re getting a new game eventually!
Meh, not for me personally. Looks ugly as heck and I can’t making use of any of the customisations. I’m sure there’s plenty of folks who’ll love it though.

@Papa_Godzilla Then you could have expressed it instead of being purely condescending. Now what - exactly - do you mean by a plan b?

Loved both of the other games and just know I’m gonna love this as well.

Re: Round Up: What Was Announced During Sony's State of Play Livestream for September 2023?

Re: PS5 Deep Earth Collection Dazzles with New DualSense, Cover Plate Colours
So boring. Xbox still has PlayStation beat when it comes to this stuff.

Ok that looks awesome!
Re: Battle for Bloodborne PS5 Enters New Phase as Modders Port 60fps Patch to Retail Hardware
@cburg Still the best looking game on PS5 in my books, nothing has impressed me so much since.

Re: Battle for Bloodborne PS5 Enters New Phase as Modders Port 60fps Patch to Retail Hardware
Every now and then I imagine a Bluepoint remake of this on the level of their Demon Souls port. Sigh.
Re: PS Stars May Finally Be Integrated into PS5 Soon
Would be nice to have this natively - I don't use the app much and always forget about these.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for August 2023?

Re: Preview: Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective Demo Is a Short But Sweet Taste of a Cult Classic
Such a good game. Loved every minute of it and very tempted to pick it up again.
Re: 27 PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Confirmed for Big June Update
TMNT, Inscryption and Redout 2 are all games I’ve been wanting to check out so very happy! Might get Paw Patrol for the kids too.

Re: League of Legends Action RPG The Mageseeker Smashes onto PS5, PS4 in April
Shame we can’t just get a AAA action adventure game with the visual style of Arcane. That would be really exciting.
Re: Wayfinder Finds Its Way to PS5, PS4 with Exclusive Early Access in May
@tameshiyaku 100% this.
Re: It's the End of the World in Goodbye Volcano High, Out This June
If the plot is good enough then I think I’m going to really enjoy this, but I think I’ll be waiting to see what the reviews are like first. Voice acting, music and art seem on point though so fingers crossed!
Re: Stylish Final Fantasy 7 Remake AirPod Case Essential for Prospective Shinra Employees
Looks gaudy and tacky, IMO. Not a fan but always nice to see them trying new types of merch!
Re: Naughty Dog May Move On from The Last of Us Like It Did with Uncharted
I think the series deserves a part 3, personally. But who knows.
Re: 'Flawless' New PS5 with Some Devs, Features Detachable Disc Drive

Re: Crash Team Rumble Is a Competitive Multiplayer Spin-Off for PS5, PS4
Hmm, not sure about this one.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 Summons June 2023 Release Date, Another Superb Trailer
Wow. Not sure what else to say other tuan this is day one for me. Sign me up.
Re: Tales of Arise Beyond the Dawn Trademarked by Bandai Namco in Europe
Bit torn on this. I enjoyed elements of the main game and kinda wished there was a more satisfying ending, but I found it was way overhyped in the reviews as others have said here. Will wait and see but with so many other things out there to play, I’m not sure.
Re: Poll: Did You Buy Sonic Frontiers?
Nope, looks like another underwhelming 3D Sonic game to me.
Re: PSVR2 Games Offer Free Upgrades if You Own PSVR Version
Really hope Astro Bot and Rez get ported over.
Re: Poll: Will You Pay the PSVR2 Launch Price?
Wasn't sure yesterday but after thinking about it I'm tempted to go for it - missed out on VR last gen and I want to see what all the fuss is about. If I don't enjoy it I expect I'll easily be able to get the money back as they're bound to be in short supply.
Re: PSVR2 Launches 22nd February 2023, Costs $550
If it had backwards compatibility I'd be pre-ordering for sure, but at this price and the current lineup I'll probably wait it out for a year or so.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for November 2022 Leaked Early
Bit meh for me personally, but with God of War on the horizon I can’t say I’m too bothered!
Re: A Plague Tale: Requiem Caps Out at Just 30fps on PS5, 40fps on 120hz TVs
Disappointing news, I’ll be holding off for now and hoping for an update maybe. Or getting it on PC.
Re: PS Plus Extra, Premium PS5, PS4 Games for October 2022 Announced
Quite a few I'm interested in there, happy days!

Re: PSVR2 Isn't Backwards Compatible with PSVR Games, Sony Confirms
It’s not a dealbreaker but it is disappointing. Welp, as long as Sega release a new version of Rez Infinite I’ll be happy enough.
Re: PS Store Blockbuster Games Sale Brings Prices Down on Hundreds of PS5, PS4 Titles
@CWill97 great advice, thanks! Can’t wait.
Re: PS Store Blockbuster Games Sale Brings Prices Down on Hundreds of PS5, PS4 Titles
@CWill97 been wanting to play it for so long now, so went ahead and bought it!

Re: PS Store Blockbuster Games Sale Brings Prices Down on Hundreds of PS5, PS4 Titles
Just picked up Tales of Arise for £25, very excited! Kinda tempted by 13 Sentinels and Gran Turismo as well - is there a trial or anything?

Re: Arcade Racer Sequel Horizon Chase 2 Speeds to Consoles in 2023
Love the first game, absolutely all-in for more.
Re: PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games for September 2022 Leaked
I'll definitely be picking up TOEM and Granblue. Nice!
Re: Classic Stealth Strategy Returns in Commandos 3 - HD Remaster, Available Now on PS4
Considering how badly the last remaster was botched, won't be going near this.

Re: Naughty Dog Reflects on How The Last of Us: Part I Honors the Original
I'm really happy to play a new version of this that stands up to the visuals of the second game. Excited.

More Yakuza is A-OK with me.
