@Vaako007 That’s what I meant with the side plates instead. If they want to make it insanely difficult to get a console, the Edge controller or the Portal, there is nothing stopping them from releasing the grey coloured plates for the rest of us.
For beep sake, people want them, stop making them so difficult to get. I wish they would just do open preorders for a week or even a month and if you miss it, you miss it.
If they want the console to be so limited it’s extremely rare, at least sell us the covers in the PSX colours.
I managed to get a DualSense controller, that’s it. I wanted to buy it all.
Yeah, this looked amazing at the reveal, I can’t wait to play it. Both my PSVR2 and Quest 3 are getting a lot of use at the moment, some great games on the horizon too.
I think the problem is the sheer volume of games. Thousands and thousands at our finger tips. Triple A, Indie, full price, sales, subscription models and freebies. It is overwhelming. So much slips through unnoticed.
I have the same issue with things like Netflix, I spend more time browsing and never get around to actually watching anything. I’m sure there is a ton I’ve missed out on over the years.
“Games release pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss them”
It’s not something that I would be interested in playing on a TV but I’ll definitely get it to play on PSVR2.
The bigger PSVR2 news was Hitman (can’t see a story on it here?). It was brilliant on PSVR1 even with a Dual Shock controller.
I’ve been trying to play it on the Quest 3 for the past week and it’s so bad. It plays and looks like absolute crap. Really hope they nail it on PSVR2.
Metro looked great too. No mention of that either?
@FanCFeast It’s a lot bigger than people realise. The franchise as a whole is around 85 million sold, which places it with some of the biggest games of all time. Borderlands 3 sold 5 million in its first week.
I just don’t think it’s the kind of game that will get the gamers into the cinemas, especially when the casting is such a departure from the source material.
People that have no idea what is the game is, probably saw the trailer and just said “nope”.
@UnlimitedSevens Haha. That’s actually what I said on one of the other threads. Would be nice to just be able to walk into a shop and pick one up without preordering.
@PuppetMaster Yeah in the battle hub, the sign up counter on the left as you enter. At launch they deactivated them because it was broken, then about a month or two later they reactivated, but when you signed up, it was some crazy timing like 9pm the next day. I signed up for one, waited until the next day, got into the match and almost instantly it disconnected.
I think I need to get the play 3 games, win 10 times and then I think I have the Platinum on it.
I put about 80 hours in at launch (which is a massive amount for me haha), but eventually moved on.
Anyone know what the tournament situation is these days?
I just needed those couple of tournament trophies for the Platinum, but when they eventually activated them, you had to wait like a day to take part in one.
Managed to get one to start and then it lost connection. Never went back, but I wouldn’t mind finishing it up one day.
It’s a game I wouldn’t normally like, yet I’ve sunk hours into the Xbox version, then again on the Apple and Android versions, then immediately bought it again and all the DLC the other day on PlayStation.
Spent most of yesterday doing it all over again on the PlayStation Portal while I had the football and F1 on. Perfect game and perfect device for it.
I remember saying it was easily a 10/10 when it came to Xbox Game Pass. The game play is amazingly addictive. It’s still an easy 10/10 today.
@Rich33 It came to Dreamcast and Arcade (moved from CPS2 to Naomi) and had a GBA port. The GBA port added 3 characters from Capcom vs SNK 2. Eagle, Yun and Maki, but had to cut some stuff like music, sound and stages to fit on the cart.
Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max then came to the PSP with an extra character Ingrid and some extra modes.
I’ve had £40 off them in vouchers without buying more subscriptions (already subscribed until 2027). So it doesn’t really affect me. The coins are a nice little bonus but they wouldn’t affect my buying habits.
As much as I’d like to to play them now, I have too much to keep me busy and way more on the horizon, so I’m happy to wait for now. Would be great if they did add trophy support.

Yeah, this looked amazing at the reveal, I can’t wait to play it. Both my PSVR2 and Quest 3 are getting a lot of use at the moment, some great games on the horizon too.
Re: PS5, PS4 Fans Are Worried Cash Rewards Have Been Removed from PS Stars
Only the £10 option for me. Doesn’t really affect me, I’ve only ever used my points for £20 rewards. Just means I’ll claiming rewards twice as fast.
Looking at my history, I’ve redeemed £100 so far, it’s a decent service.
Re: Preview: LEGO Horizon Adventures Is Looking Like the Best LEGO Game Yet
Sounds great. Really looking forward to playing this.

I also wish Namco would add trophies to their stuff too. I’d love to get the platinums on Tekken and Ridge Racer.

Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
Got my Pro. Would’ve loved the 30th Anniversary. No idea how 53 of you guys managed it (currently), but congratulations! Very lucky.
Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
Got my normal Pro with drive and stand. Would’ve loved the 30th Anniversary edition, but that was never happening.
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5 Pro
Got mine, console, drive and stand. Looking forward to November.
Would’ve been great to get the 30th Edition but with only a tiny quantity being made, we had no chance.
Re: Dark Fantasy Adventure The Midnight Walk Flares Up on PS5, PSVR2 in Spring
It’s not something that I would be interested in playing on a TV but I’ll definitely get it to play on PSVR2.

Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device
I’ve barely used my Series X since launch, but I bought a ROG Ally last year and have been using it mostly as a Game Pass machine. It’s brilliant.
I’d buy a PS6 and a handheld device day one.
Re: Jaw-Dropping 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Console and Accessories Will Bankrupt You
I’d buy it all if stock allows.
Re: Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (PS5) - Capcom Classic Still Shines 18 Years Later

The Crew 2 is 79p if anyone doesn’t have it and is still curious.
Re: 13 More Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Mr. Mosquito twice in one month? Haha.
Pistol Whip is top tier gaming for anyone that still hasn’t played it. Absolutely amazing and non stop free DLC since day one.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
@UnlimitedSevens Haha. That’s actually what I said on one of the other threads. Would be nice to just be able to walk into a shop and pick one up without preordering.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
I’ll be going into my local store tomorrow or at the weekend to preorder. I can’t wait.
Re: 25 Years Ago, Square Released the Best Final Fantasy Game
Final Fantasy VII & VIII are the only two Final Fantasy games I’ve not had to force myself to finish. Both really great games.
Had the the first game on the NES but hated it.
Attempted to played IV, V and VI but never clicked with any.
IX, I absolutely hated and stopped after about 5 hours.
Finished X, bought X-2 but never started it (actually bought it on Vita too).
Then pretty much skipped them all until Remake and Rebirth, which I love.
I think this is the only franchise I’m familiar with that is so hit and miss for me.
Re: PS5 Pro Showcase Set for Tomorrow, Hosted by Mark Cerny
Preorder finger at the ready. Really looking forward to it.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Astro Bot?
The best 3D platformer since Astro Bot Rescue Mission on PSVR for PS4.
I was never in doubt this would be amazing.
My game of the year so far.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Vampire Survivors?
It’s an easy 10/10 for me, super addictive gameplay.
This is the 4th platform I’ve put a load of time into and it just doesn’t get boring.
Immense and fully deserving of a 10/10.
Re: Street Fighter 6 Still Kicking, Over Four Million Copies Sold
Great game, loved World Tour mode.
I put about 80 hours in at launch (which is a massive amount for me haha), but eventually moved on.

Re: Astro Bot (PS5) - One of the Greatest PlayStation Platformers of All Time
Astro Bot Rescue Mission on PSVR was a top 3 PS4 game, so I’m not surprised this is a 10/10.
Preordered and preinstalled, ready to go!

Love the Street Fighter Alpha/Zero 3 games. Shame it’s not Max/Double Upper, but still cool.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Still Planned to Release in 2024, State of Play Coming in September

Re: Sony to Short-Change PS Stars Members with PS Plus Renewals Starting Next Year
I’ve had £40 off them in vouchers without buying more subscriptions (already subscribed until 2027). So it doesn’t really affect me. The coins are a nice little bonus but they wouldn’t affect my buying habits.
Re: TimeSplitters Trilogy Will Ping a Fresh Set of PS5, PS4 Trophies in the Future

Really hope they patch trophies in the TimeSplitters games. Would be nice to unlock some stuff while playing through them again.
