I hope they have actual spider man suits too as these look like ridiculous fan art.

I was tempted by the deluxe until I saw the actual outfits.

Hopefully there will be plenty of decent looking ones featured

Another license where greed ruins it for everyone.
Licensing in video games is terrible and it’s getting worse. Look at the Forza games. Forza H3 already delisted. Great games gone forever.

So many recent big licensed games have been multiplayer only meaning they’ll die off quick.

Such a shame.

Ridiculous. I knew this would blow up.

You can’t expect with all those players the same as nba or nfl players. £500 to feature in a video game that you are going be stoked to be in sounds ok to me.

The NCAA have no issue making money and not giving it to players….

Another month were majority of people aren’t happy.

🤣

This game is gonna be next level.

If you don’t like basketball playing samurai dinosaurs then I don’t want to know you…..

I know it’s a WRC licensed game but I hope like the DiRT games it has some other modes and styles to race. Not just WRC stuff.

Single player games with this theme I’m all for. While I’m on it, I’d love an until dawn style game but without any supernatural stuff.

Just a run of the mill crazed serial killer is fine.

Games like until dawn are welcome. They could do loads of different things.

@puddinggirl I paid £40 for Zelda. Curry’s had a discount. Zelda wasn’t full price everywhere. Nintendo games rarely have the ridiculous price in the U.K. if you are savvy you pay 35-45 day one releases.

The 2k games I’ve not seen the same situation.

I’ve not bought and i know quite a few from an online community I’m in that would have bought a couple of their games but we passed coz of the ridiculous new price and got them way cheaper just a couple of months later. With so much to play no need to panic buy a $70 game day one - prices drop so quickly as they know long term sales at $70 would be impossible.

@Wheatly the words “drivel” was used. But yeah that’s not hating. Whatever fella.

Who guess Nintendo haters would come and post on this thread.

That top ten is brutal for everyone but Nintendo really…. EA doing ok and Hogwarts is a beast.

68 on stadia. 83 on ps5 I can sense it now.

Will they be usable in other modes like franchise? The legends I mean

As an owner of both XSX and Ps5 this soundbite and attitude is much better than saying making ten out of ten games won’t get us anywhere.

Everyone should be striving to make their best ever games and competing at least with themselves.

I’m not seeing that desire from many in the industry anymore.

Profits over everything.

Make your best ever game and profits will follow.

Day one. Can’t wait for the TV show too.

Hopefully by then the uneducated will be educated and we won’t have to have silly disclaimers on every article.

I doubt it though.

Lol - starting to regret buying my series x when the guy in charge admits he isn’t trying to make good games.

It’s why Xbox is struggling. They’ve never tried to make good games. They’ve tried to make money. When they’ve made good games it’s a nice side product.

I like Xbox - I dislike this guy.

Thanks for reminder. I think I claimed them all day I got ps5 but I will double check.

@ShogunRok most of the people most vocal online about the “value” of GPU don’t pay 10.99 a month. They use the upgrade exploit and pay £3.50 or use points and get it free. (Which is way way to much like hard work) I have GPU at £3.5 but no way I pay 10 quid. Same with top PS tier. I stacked cheap subs before and got the upgrade for a few years. I won’t be paying 10 quid plus a month. I’ll buy what I want to play after that.

Everyone wants me to subscribe to everything.

Movies, TV, gaming, Online content, news websites, food, delivery, alcohol, clothing…..

It’s unsustainable.

People will soon long to actually own things again. They will realise they are giving away money and getting nothing in return. It’s how to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

It’s just taking people a while to realise subscription models are taking huge amounts of money out of circulation. The rich stock pile money.

There are very few jobs for normal people in these subscription models.

We need to move away from them asap.

Lovely to see a gaming site post a story about a game and not a failed deal.

It’s almost like making good games is a better idea.

I look forward to seeing more about games and less about deals.

This game is going to be a monster.

Currently playing through this and it’s a lot of fun. Can be had super cheap now and worth every penny. Cracking game.

Ooooo Xbox throwing toys out of the pram.

With all the ridiculous Sony baiting and goading online over the deal it’s funny to see.

This has brought the worse out in so many

The correct decision for the wrong reason.

I want more games and more choice. I don’t want any large 3rd party games being munched up by Sony or Xbox.

This drama is far from over and “fans” and people on both sides have been embarrassing through all this

So many people seem to not understand the damage this deal does to both PlayStation and Xbox fans (or like the vast majority of us who don’t affiliate we are just gamers) all the “Sony is a spoilt child” is ridiculous. Xbox owning all these third party IP hurts the industry. Less games will be released. Fact. I’m surprised so many are blind to the fact. The greed that comes with a subscription model is clear to see. A lot of entitlement from GPU subscribers, I’m a GPU subscriber and I’d rather pay for exclusives and get better more solo focused efforts. Last couple of years has been painful and doesn’t look like it’s getting better soon.

The gaming industry is about to implode and have a big reset.

Greed has caused it to eat itself. Facebook, Xbox, Google…. All buying up and destroying good companies. Sleeping on IPs.

The recently bubsy games were ok. Seriously.

@Anke This. They were “passable” you wouldn’t have wanted a forced quidditch mode. Some of the flying parts were the most frustrating parts by miles.

I’m glad quidditch wasn’t shoe horned in. It’s very plausible a wizard/witch wouldn’t play quidditch. It didn’t harm the game at all. Bad quidditch would have. Stand alone game makes sense

@Ryall the launch and build to the to games couldn’t be more different. We know that one is a multiplayer, dlc and MTX laden mess. What they should have done is made a solo player epic with any gunk and it’ll make more money. I hope WB learn as they’ve been hurt by the way they market games and this time rewarded when they’ve done it right.

Gotham nights I’m enjoying - on steam deck - it’s not perfect but it’s good (but I got it in a charity bundle with a stack of other games for £12 - I adjust slider and gave most I could to charity.) it rightly got hammered for some terrible marketing and design decisions. In all reality it plays exactly like the old Batman games.

This game was so bold and clear from the start what it was and never swayed from that. There was never the bad news. (No MTX added after release too) it’s how to do a video game. Hopefully others will learn from it.

This is what happens when you announce early on no horrible DLC model with content that should be in the game locked. (Still had rubbish day one preorder DLC mind you), No Microtransactions, and release footage that matches your ambition, add to that the game comes from a beloved universe and despite the constant noise from the likes of push square and their own “bubble” there was zero controversy around the game for 97% of the population. This all helps. (I have no doubt the 3% actually helped sales) the message is clear, make a good old fashioned story game focus on solo player and don’t fill with Microtransactions and dlc and you will sell loads.

@kyleforrester87 I left a negative comment and I was and am gonna buy it. With all that has gone on and with enough games “doing it better” I’ll get it in the sale but I am looking forward to seeing it. I criticise a great many games I want and go on to enjoy. You can disagree things they do and still find enjoyment. It’s especially when games come along in universes you want to enjoy but are riddled with greedy nonsense.

Loads of my fave games from last 4/5 years have had terrible greedy and grubby features in them with a horrific grind designed to make you part your money and some if learnt to accept I won’t have the grindy content and some I’ve found ways to accept the grind others I’ve found ways to dodge the grind. Others with horrible dlc like this I’ve either waited for a sale or skipped.

It’s not ideal and in many ways I am feeding the beast but to say negative posters wouldn’t buy a game anyway is completely untrue.

Historically a LOTR game for me would be day one. This has made enough missteps and other games have my full attention I’ll try and wait for a price drop.

Greed is a funny business.

Make your game good. Make your game immersive. Concentrate on selling the game before you start trying to cash in on silly dlc.

It’s funny how people here and on Xbox websites say how amazing the service is…. Then when a load of big games get removed all at once they claim “they are all rubbish” it’s like you just like the service coz it’s on Xbox/playstation.

I give full props to push square they often have articles calling out Sony when stuff doesn’t seem quite right. This is another occasion where they are right to do so.

No doubt idiots will come in the comments section and tell us Disney has “ruined” Star Wars 🤣

If you think that you really haven’t been watching.

It’s not all been perfect but some of it has been exceptional.

I think it’s good they don’t just have jedis everywhere and want to trust those telling the stories.

The way order 66 works/worked and they way the force works it’s possible to both have survivors and self taught jedis moving forward.

You don’t have to go to church to be a Christian. You can learn the way of the Jedi yourself. That will be explored for sure.

This game looks superb. So was the first. Whilst some moan about all things Star Wars. - the video games have mainly been good. We’ve in all honesty had very few duds when judging them on solo player stories/modes especially

Unlike others I think 150 is a sensibly well thought out target price here, people saying 250…. You are not far off a base Steam deck… the steam deck is a remarkable bit of kit. You’d have that everyday of the week.

Hmmmm a load of white games on the comments section question if racism is really an issue….

What can go wrong….

People seriously say it’s “it ok for a black man to play a white man” lol.

Missing the point somewhat and it doesn’t happen much.

Grabbed them just in case. Thanks

Not a fan of this grubby chap.

Sony’s streaming stuff is whack. Man.

The ps3 stuff is not even worth bothering with.

They are miles off with this sorta stuff.

Luckily for them they are miles in front with me nearly everything else

Lol.

Once again. Games like this are best avoided. Terrible business model designed to hook you and take your money. There is no reason they can’t let people continue to play. Especially as they charge people money. If it had of been a free beta it’s different.

Disgusting.

Puck me…

That came round quick.

Not had a go on franchise mode for years. Might have to have a go. See if it’s come on leaps and bounds.

Single player is fine and anywhere below £15 and you should get enough enjoyment. The start of the story mode is really good. Ok it has a few difficultly spikes and issues with certain enemies but now with plenty of content that was hidden behind a paywall (I assume you still need to unlock some them through game play?) there is enough here to make it a fun solo player experience.

Would recommend

@InvaderJim haha yeah. Surprised there isn’t a disclaimer on this article telling us how the staff don’t agree with JKs “controversial” views. Any mention of the game seems to trigger a certain kind of person telling us all how “modern” they are in the views.

Missing the point completely and also not understand JKs point at all.

I hope one day something I create gets boycotted as hard as Hogwarts has been lol. Cha ching.

Yeah I picked it up cheap for PlayStation five and then ended up being for at least a week 2 hours from playstation 5 so also got it on Xbox.

It’s a good game. I know it got loads of hate: and it has plenty of issues but for £10 it’s well worth it.

Got it in a charity bundle for my steam deck and about 5-6 hours in - I’m only playing as one character so far, I’ve found now where I can change character (it wasn’t well sign posted IMHO) but I’m tempted to play as one character all the way through and then when I play on Xbox/ps5 do a play through as different characters. Achievements wise that’s not a good plan but I don’t care about achievements. It could of course force me to change character at some point maybe.

The cutscenes seem very character specific so I feel like it’ll be quite different playing as a different character. (I’m probably wrong)

Enjoying the suit choices and crafting stuff for variation. The combat is just same as the old Batman games and I loved those so no issues there and the story is good.

The living La Vida loca cover for that scene was brilliant. Approve of a decent soundtrack. Felt very movie like.

For a tenner id give it a solid 8.

Maybe when new NCAA games are released. Until then it’s very much current gen for me.

Race related right?!?

What is wrong with people.

I’ve not played it yet. But RE VA has always been a bit off…. Part of the charm no?!?

That famous Barry scene. Lol

A proper video game win GOTY and some gamers try to claim it’s not a proper video game even though they haven’t played it.

Yep that sounds about right.

@Bigtuna515 I’ve had same issue.

I can’t see him at all.

No surprise anything to do with this game gets a load of negativity. It’s a cracking solo player campaign. Can be picked up for peanuts and the biggest issue was all the content being locked and it’s now unlocked.

Win win. Shame the extra characters were scrapped. This really is a good game.

@Steve30000 this is the uncomfortable truth this website likes to ignore
