They could easily patch it to be playable offline

Played the demo for 3 hours on steam deck. Bonkers the demo was so large. Plenty to do and investigate. You can give parking tickets and look into random crimes. It’s great. Have order a steam key already and will 100% play on ps5 too. As it works so well on steam deck I will finish it on that first.

The amount of Sony apologists is hilarious. Push square right to call it out. We can love playstation and not love nonsense like this.

@DarthOreo IMHO not often to beloved franchises get a proper game that captures what fans love. There are some great movie tie in games obviously but Robocop suddenly getting a corking game that captures the movie is real gold and it’s not £70!

It working on the deck is the cherry on the top.

@DarthOreo you can tell there are a lot of kids on here. Complaining about the voice over and saying it belongs in the 80s lol. Erm yeah that’s the point. It’s brilliant I’m loving every second. The demo is massive. Plenty to do. Nice write up fella and I agree with everything you say. I can’t work out how to do parking tickets it prompted me I could and I missed how!

This game is brilliant. I’m two hours in and I’ve not finished the demo! If you are a fan of robocop you’ll love it. It’s brutal. You feel slow and methodical but that’s right. You have sections where you solve crimes (side missions) scanning clues and talking to people. It’s great fun. Sound and cut scenes are nailed. I’ll double dip this as it runs so well on the deck. All this not a game of year nonsense its brilliant and it’s fun.

@HarmanSmith I have it’s 50gb just under.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner 7 is the right score for sure. It’s a fun game and the gameplay is good. Not perfect at all but enough to be fun.

@SoulChimera I’ve already sunk a lot of hours in this game. If you are a wrestling fan this game isn’t a 5. It’s extremely fun to play. That’s the main thing.

However the CAW suite is almost criminal. I was so confused. It’s so limited it’s baffling. It’ll be tough to create complex old school guys as there are no custom logos or morphing.

If they wore plain trunks and had standard looking hair you might be ok. I’ve only made three so far and all new guys (not 80s) as no one in roster fits in with them. I’ll wait for Others to create some and do some old school copying. I made an old school arena and it kinda works. Again no logos but you can remove screens and lights and just have a black stage and metal barriers and red white blue ropes. So if they add stuff to Caw like they promised it could be great. For now youd have to find enjoyment from the guys on the roster and any basic old school guys you can make. The faces won’t be good though.

They put all their chips in on Gollum being a huge success…… but did the years of no one being excited not signpost it…. And then it not being very good.

The industry has changed you used to be able to take a flop on the chin. Games take so much longer and cost so much more. PS2 era Gollum might have done ok. So many games and so many sales. Now not so much.

People will wrongly blame Twitter. The design process for a LOTR game that decides to throw everything in on Gollum was the issue here. If you do that the game has to be awesome.

A walking sim in the blade runner universe?

It’s not proper inflation as everyone who is “passing on costs” then registers record profits and pays records bonus’s to the CEO whilst paying below inflation pay rises to its staff.

This is called profiteering. It’s ridiculous

I wish it just had the dungeons and dragons License and did it properly. Still looks good but the OG characters would take it next level

For an arcade sports game the inclusion of real life players and legends at that is massive.

It feels a this point it’s a good start.
I enjoyed NBA playgrounds 1 but 2 then did what one should have done and allowed you to play as NBA teams in a season format.

This would be great to have a similar feature added for 5 - more real life players and an arcade season similar to playgrounds format.

None of these sports arcade games have ever been perfect. Ever. The blitz games or street or Hitz or Playgrounds or Ballers…and of course Jam.. but you have to embrace to madness.

Not sure it’s day one for me but I will have a go at some point.

They just don’t understand main stream appeal. LOTR can be massive but Potter, Marvel and Star Wars will always have a bigger appeal to the masses. LOTR games need to be VERY VERY good to sell huge numbers. The shadow ones were very good and didn’t sell Potter numbers. Just saying.

Let’s be real it won’t be anywhere near as good as Forza H but still day one if it’s half as good.

Hopefully they understand horizon is successful
Coz it’s arcade and fun and don’t pander to the sim only crowd.

@Golem25 agree with this watched some vids of the changes they’ve made and they are amazing. Night and day. Really impressed. They’ll bring the changes into this game from the start.

@ShadowofSparta he uses words like “zealots” he is just repeating what really rich people have told him on TV whilst believing they are “not the man”

Most intelligent people understand what defunding the police means and most police agree. They don’t want to deal with the stuff that people want removed from them.

Catch the pigeon.

Just catch the pigeon.

I’ve always said why are there not more games where you play as police. LA Noire was excellent and I’m surprised we don’t get more in different eras.

I guess it’s more fun to design and develop being a “law breaker” but I think we could do with more games like it.

Sleeping dogs is brilliant too

@Zoidpilot4 as an owner of all three, (well 4 actually) I spend time on NL, PX and PS - PX are constantly talking about Playstation. It’s the way the Xbox only media deal with Sony and coverage that I find a turn off to the brand. Especially the JPEGs. Ugh.

Anyway….. I wish people weren’t “loyal” to a brand and held all three to the same standards. All three bring me joy and all three drive me cracker.

The steam deck keeps me sane. I can play a Sony exclusive and then a Xbox exclusive sat on sofa watching a movie.

That’s the future

You mean Sony PR won’t put out a jpeg straight after like Xbox does?!? the internet loves the Xbox JPEG’s. -

@AdamNovice I came here to post that. If you know you know. Mrs has it on a mug. Lol

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
