Shellcore

It's kind of the IGC equivalent of dad dancing. I appreciate that Sony has tried to be with it, but doesn't quite pull it off. Happy with Zombi even if again this falls short of games with gold. Just relieved that it isn't more pixel side scrolling. Still got the old twin stick shooter, but cant win em all! Overall, I am happy with this months selection, although the bar wasn't set high at all to begin with.

Yes! That's what I'm talking about. Only commented earlier today on the other Fallout article asking about details regarding Survival mode. Thanks Pushsquare!

Made for an interesting video, although the only visual difference that I could actually detect were the slightly jaggy shadows when standing still on the player character.

No problem with them being available to play. Won't interest me. I wonder what the price point will be though. If it's in line with the PS2 remasters I would be a little disappointed to be honest, as they have been choses for (mostly) being best in class. These games weren't amazing on their original release really.

I've heard this is correct in terms of landmass, but the amount to do within that landmass will be less than Shivering Isles, but more than dawnguard hence the cheaper price than the former. Looking forward to it. Now, survival mode news if you have it please? Rumours are that the beta is out on PC this week!

Although I have never played the game, it does seem that Ubisoft has managed to create something that has obviously compelled people to buy and play it. On top of that the negative outlook on the run up to release has resulted in unexpected praise. As I write this, 80% of people who took part in the poll has bought and played the Division. Impressed.

@get2sammyb Codemasters. Looking forward to Dirt in April!

@RawShark Argh. I didn't even think about it from that perspective. Damn them (raises fist)!

@GlynCR I would say the games were more of a justification rather than a bonus. Online was free before, not so now. Only the introduction of the fee and games have changed. For me, they go hand in hand. If I had to pay a subscription just to play online, then I would have to re-evaluate my priorities. Paying for something when I can get it for free elsewhere is madness. The games are the reason I'm staying, not a pretty bonus I should feel grateful for. Sony is a business and we aren't getting these games because they are being generous. They full well know they have to offer them as part of the value proposition of the plus package.

1. Temple Run using the DS4 "motion control" to hit those high scores.
2. Pitfall - Still haven't played that.

Oh, yea. Anything that is made by a small team on a limited budget, preferably with shoddy graphics and a side scrolling 2D perspective with pixel art. Won't hold my breath through. Never get anything I like...

I feel like my previous play through was just a practise run for the real "Fallout" experience this will offer. Base building and supply lines will actually have a point to them. Food will become more than a passing thought and, for me, it marks the point where it becomes more of an RPG.

Do remasters collate trophies from their last gen counterpart, or will we have two lists PS3/PS4 for each game? I've never double dipped so not sure.

I hope people are buying Knack so they can become familiar with the lore before Knack 2.

Sure I saw something over the weekend about Bethesda looking at Fallout + VR : )

I enjoyed Crash back in the day, but it wouldn't really hold up today imo. I mean, people bag on Knack all the time, even though that is essentially Crash with more potential and gameplay mechanics. I'm confused...

Nabbed Rebel Galaxy in the digital sale so have been getting to grips with that. Seems a little grindy, but the gameplay loop is addictive and can't wait to get my hands on some of the larger ships.

I love the adoration pointed this developers way. It's nice that in a sea of internet rage, developers can be rewarded for releasing consumer friendly products with real quality behind them. Certainly excited to see what they unveil.

@ApostateMage I'm in the same boat. My strategy will be to whip through DLC with my existing character on release, then revisit whilst taking my time with my new "main" when the survival mode drops. After the hardcore mode in NV, this is the only way I want to play Fallout 4.

Brilliant. Played the multiplayer beta and interested in how much the graphics will improve in the single player portion of the game. In the multiplayer, I wasn't impressed.

Looks great. Will certainly keep my eye out for more news on this.

Must admit this made me laugh a little, but to be honest its dealing with people like this that makes playing online less enjoyable. This game seems to be aimed at the mainstream demographic, which in gaming doesn't bode well.

This game is becoming a little long in the tooth...

@Expa0 I've played a couple of tales games and liked the battle system so will keep my eye on this. I really want Mistwalker to make another RPG to tide me over to Ni No Kuni 2.

Never played any of the Star Ocean games, but looking forward to getting stuck into a traditional RPG like this, if this is indeed what it is.

Haha, love it. B is my favourite. Are they trolling us with A!?

Looks a little like a helmet a Quarian would wear. Loved the first two games. The last one I got into a little late and didn't finish it.

@RawShark Agreed. Awful character design, but the "tracks" and locations seem appealing.

Not surprised at all. Is this the new embargo? "Oh, the servers aren't switched on so the online elements cant be reviewed". Who the hell turns the servers on the day of release! The only saving grace for Ubisoft in this instance is the two betas that have been offered before launch, otherwise I'd call bull on the whole thing.

Rebel Galaxy may be on my list to pick up!

@thedevilsjester I would really like to delete trophies. Guess it's not a big thing, but I cant stand testing a game out, or borrowing from a friend, to have the game's trophy list dragging my completion percentage down...

This hurts especially after the news of Konami putting expiry dates on it's micro-transaction currency in MGS V. Every extreme piece of news seems to normalise the already unacceptable business model. Soon, the new demographic will enter the market and this will be all they know...

The price is a bit of a shock to be honest. I appreciate the supposed scale of the project. However, aside from "It's big and you can fly", we haven't had much information about actual "gameplay" and ways to keep the player engaged. The graphics look pretty good and the premise is exciting. Just a little cautious waiting for the suits to come and say "Well, you paid £50 for a game with a very small team and low overheads. Ass Creed 10, or whatever, has to be £80". If its not the team or the cost of goods we are paying for, then are we supposed to be paying for quality and enjoyment?" In that case, every game would need its own RRP based on metacritic or something. Be smart, be wary.

Not buying this. Ubisoft already has a bad history of rushing games out, identical game templates and shady practises with their approach to DLC. Can't help but think this game will be the perfect opportunity for them to flex their micro-transaction muscles and the dreaded season 2...pass.

Think I'm mirroring the opinions of others when I say two weeks is fine and will give me a chance to play some other great games releasing around that time.

Nice Will certainly give this a go!

The trailer looked beautiful. Would love to try this out on VR.

Tried the demo last night. I enjoyed the actual gameplay quite a bit, however the constant text box cut scenes just drained me. I can't imagine dealing with that for the remainder of the game. Not for me.

I will have a coffin' fit if this ever sees the light of day.

Caved and bought it over the weekend. So excited for the new survival mode

Noticed Knack is being bundled in with consoles at Game. May have something to do with it. That, or people are preparing themselves for the arrival of the much awaited Knack 2! Shame to see SFV drop off so quickly, although I guess not being multiplat would hinder sales a little.

@adf86 It's a discussion mate. I'm glad you're enjoying yourself with the games available on IGC. Fact is, some of us are not. Please don't take conflicting views as an attack on your own. The great thing about this community is the discussions we can have about the subjects, which would be pretty damn boring if we all followed suit with the same viewpoint. Whilst I value your view of the world in this respect, I don't feel you feel the same about the views of others. Please state your case, but don't lower yourself to insulting people. Cheers

It's funny, but also a little sad. I like indies, but not all the time. I'm not going off on a rant again like on the most recent announcement article, but I hope Sony see this parody video and start to measure up against Games with Gold. They don't have to, and probably wont, but I feel a little taken for granted. Maybe Pushsquare could do a poll to see if this feeling really does account for the majority, or just for the small vocal minority (like myself). Anyway, first world problems and all that. Happy gaming

I fast travel when available. Surprisingly, I'm looking forward to the upcoming Fallout 4 survival mode with the option disabled. It's just time for me, I guess.

Hope they have an arcade mode

@BAMozzy Spot on. My thoughts exactly : )

@adf86 I'm sure I heard that Xbox One and PS4 are in direct competition. They each have dedicated services. Games with Gold is currently a more attractive proposition value wise. That was my argument. I agree PS4 has a higher install base, which is why PS Plus is lacklustre at the minute. There is no incentive for Sony to try harder. The value is diminishing and therefore customer satisfaction.

I don't honestly think the lack of features fuelled this supposed underperformance in sales, as I don't believe many people know. I feel the retail price for a fighting game is what is putting people off. Plus, I don't think these games are in vogue anymore. Black Ops is doing well because that is what the mainstream audience buys. These guys don't usually post on specialist gaming websites. Sure the game is great and I will buy it down the line with a price drop and a content boost.

@adf86 The point is "value proposition". It's basically that a service should communicate why its product offers more than other similar offerings, such as Gold. Obviously, the majority of the people on this board aren't feeling the love with the neverending indie games being shoehorned into plus. This is nothing to do with indie hate or quality. It's to do with people's acknowledgement that the value proposition is slowly lessening in terms of what is available elsewhere. I like indies and I like my old Volkswagon Golf. Both do their jobs well. If I see other consumers getting triple AAA games and Aston Martins, I'm still going to question my purchase as a consumer. We need to be concerned and real about what is happening, not accept it because we don't want to be seen as whining.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi I agree completely. I'm whining, but I don't care anymore. This month is not good and I'm fed up with "indie" games. If that tag is inappropriate, then I am fed up with playing below par games with under performing graphics. I didn't buy a ps4 for this!

Wow. I like the look of this. However, after getting the plat, I need a trophy shaped carrot to get me back into this. All those adds are amazing. Just a shame I couldn't experience all this on my first run through.
