Shellcore

Plenty of FTP grindy games that lock content behind paywalls. I don't get why some people are willing to pay a premium price up front for something similar.

Would be nice if it had a little more interactivity like Tamagotchi or something like that. Bit of a waste of electricity leaving everything on whilst doing not much at all.

Fallout 4 was my favourite reveal. Perfectly timed and almost too close to get over hyped.

What is a Harry Redknapp?

Brilliant news. Like another commenter, I'm yet the finish the current single player content and I've played every day since launch.

Gran Turismo is really growing on me and have played it every day since release. To those on the fence, I would really recommend at this price. I'm hoping that this will be my go to racing game for the rest of this gen with the promised updates and additions. The multiplayer is sublime with people actually racing, not just focused on destroying the opposition literally.

Seem like a viable paw-purr-sition

@kyleforrester87 Cloud would show these guys how it's done.

It's made it on to the BBC. I smell change.

Thanks for the brutal review. Will hopefully help consumers send a message to publishers. Enough is enough!

Love all the trials they are running to see what will resonate the best with the US Trophy cashback system also. I wonder what will make the final cut?

Would have preferred Cait Sith

I am ready for a 2019 release. PS4 is already starting to feel dated hardware wise and would like to see devs being able to release all their games on a platform I own. I don't have a decent gaming PC, so would hate to miss out. Understand this flows against the majority viewpoint.

@ThroughTheIris56 It starts with shares, slowly becoming the majority shareholder, then pressure from financial stakeholders to make the best return on their investment. Selling the studio now its on a relative high is the best way to ensure that return.

If true, then nooooo buy. Good luck for the future. There are plenty of games to play that wont nickel and dime me.

Nice. Really looking forward to this game!

This strikes me as a good thing personally, as I really want to put some proper time aside for this one!

Voted Croc, but sadly expected the result.

Sigh. Another one for the lootbox = no buy pile. It's starting to get really easy to deal with the backlog.

I buy physical mainly, unless there is a deal on where I will get the same thing for at least a tenner cheaper digital. I used to be in the mindset that I would recoup money from selling older games. Turns out I'm a hoarder, so that never happens.

An excellent statement. Day 1

@lacerz @JoeBlogs Thanks for your thoughts. It's been my current mindset hold out. Three years may be a little long to wait if that is the case. Not that I have money to burn. I just like shiny stuff from time to time.

Serious question guys. When do you think we will officially hear about the PS5? Cant be long now?

@iARDAs I wouldn't have commented if Sony hadn't just stated that. Guessing this is just a rumour. If not, I cant see how this makes people want PS Plus more haha

Spintires: Mudrunner has been trending on lets plays recently and looks quite interesting. Certainly well made, if a little niche.

@johncalmc "The violence is particularly upsetting as it features the assault of women. Violent attacks on women, many times for perfunctory purposes, isn’t new." Polygon

@johncalmc Yet to check Polygons response. I have a sneaking suspicion you may be right.

@Kidfried Sorry. I didn't feel that watching the trailer. Especially, as the antagonist was also a woman and the male that saved them was a child. In fact, the only grown men in the trailer were subordinate grunts.

I agree with @kidfried in that I would have preferred to have experienced this within the context of the game. For the convention, I would have preferred some gameplay, or at least a scene that didn't seem so pivotal. I did think, out of context, it was a little too much. However, I am excited for TLOU2 and the trailer did nothing to either pronounce of diminish that excitement.

Brilliant. The wait has been made a lot shorter all of a sudden. I wonder if they will be clever and have carry-overs to the main game. I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff...GT Sport, I'm looking at you!

@johnny30 I don't intend to play this due to time/money. So, in place I watched the speed run. Looks like the majority of the encounters are optional. It's not my play style but you can most likely run past anything giving you too much bother.

Nothing for me in November. Actually, nothing on PS4 until Ni No Kuni 2 in Jan.

I watched a few long play videos and it looked okay. Same old with loot. With the setting being quite open, it also looked a little barren. Much preferred the look of the more intricate, smaller city settings. Maybe there are other locations that rectify this.

@rjejr I think all that needs to be said on this is that both sides of the story need to be heard. It's one issue with social media et al. Both these people need to be heard by a court in private. This man shouldn't be dragged through the mud before a fair trial. Being who he is, this would hurt him more than most. There must be reasons behind his allegations, but it isn't for us to decide his fate, or guilt.

@BLP_Software That timeline is hard to ignore, but I welcome their comments all the same. Hope they follow this up with actions!

I am enjoying GT Sport for the moment. The online racing is exceptional and the tracks are excellent. I love the "walk" mode when taking photos during replays. I understand that this will be a "service" style game which will be updated for years to come. Wouldn't be surprised if progress carried over to a potential PS5 upgrade. My advice, if at all interested, jump on now!

GT Sport I reckon. Damn those daily milestones!

Where possible, could we have this enacted with action figures just so we can get the jist of what went on.

Not sure I can give away 9GB of space just for some more scapes. Looking forward to getting stuck into GT when I get home. Little gutted the "campaign" golds I got didn't carry over.

@nopelol I wish it well - just the vibe I got.

...but it DOES look pretty bad guys. Come on. It made me smile.

Thank you for writing this article. Especially with the petition on lootboxes going through Parliament, this will become a more mainstream conversation. By recognising this issue within the more inner circles of gaming culture, we can more helpfully guide the narrative.

@Cpt_Price Its a long list of challenges and driving school style lessons. It all depends on whether you are aiming for gold every time or not. It's sizable, but how much time you spend wholly depends on your patience.

Its just too bland with seemingly more entertaining alternatives sucking up the potential userbase.

Driveclub is an excellent game. The visuals still win out against the competition hands down for me. The handling suited my play style well. I will be buying GT Sport tomorrow, but will always dip into Driveclub from time to time.

Shall be doing some grand touring tomorrow!

Bit annoyed. Guess that's why the digital base game was on sale through PSN a couple of weeks back. I haven't wasted any money (saved £5 if I add the price of the season pass), but would have waited for the complete edition through retail. First world problem, but still peeved so whatever...

Loot boxes = no buy from me. Shame

The only antidote is more Knack. The people will listen!

@PhenomenalOne They left it off as it put the others to shame.
