I loved Everybody's Gone to the Rapture & Dear Esther, not too keen on Still Wakes the Deep, but I was still interested in this because I like The Chinese Room. Sadly, with all the issues during production of this, it was never gonna be that great
As stated in the article that 82% of CoD BO6 sales came from PlayStation gamers, can you imagine the internal panic within Microsoft if the 82% or similar DIDN'T buy this year's CoD? Meltdown
I honestly thought we would've been at the £299 -£329 price point for digital/disc PS5s by now. Saying that, with our local shop charging £1.10 for a cadburys wispa, anything goes these days
I'm Looking forward to new Battlefield & I'm redownloading BF4 right now to familiarise myself with the controls again. I've never actually bought a CoD game, only played the ones given with PS plus
I liked FH5 at first (still think FH4 is way better), but to be totally honest, I've got pretty bored of it and uninstalled it - also, what's with that 2gb save file size?!
On the subject of Sony Pictures, I wonder if they regret not getting a cinema release for K-Pop Demon Hunters? Those songs are everywhere at the moment. On topic: I wonder how the box office of Zelda will compare with the recent Mario and Minecraft movies
My wife bought me a dvd boxset from HMV about 6 or 7 years ago and I went to rewatch it a month or so ago and the first 2 seasons would no longer play, the discs had like a cloudy stain on them
I would've preferred physical and still prefer FH4, but with Microsoft, it is what it is. I'll wait for the 'we all know its coming price drop' and pick it up then.
This year I've bought: Stellar blade, Undisputed, Astrobot, Tekken 8, Black Myth Wu Kong (today), Blops 6 & GT7, all on disc. The last blu ray I bought was Deadpool and Wolverine and I still buy CDs the latest being Eminem and Linkin Parks hits, so physical media is still a big thing for me and my family too. If PS6 is going to be digital only, and Sony are still PC porting, I'll just go to PC as it'll help my fledgling youtube channel more
I've been informed by my son we are playing It takes two, so there's that. Off topic, the rewards app on my phone is giving the £5 wallet top up option again
On the previous gen I got my PS4 at launch, then upgraded to the PS4 Pro and the gains were worth it. This gen if my PS5 craps out on me, I'll just get a PS5 slim (disc version). I've seen nothing so far to make the 5 Pro a must buy
Here's a funny PS5 Pro story for you all: Customer came to pick up his console earlier today and was upset there wasn't any blu ray drives, so what did he do? Why, he bought a PS5 slim disc version as well! Just so he can take the drive off the slim.... £1200+ with CoD BO6
When I was younger, I played the games with whatever the default difficulty was, but now I'm married with kids- therefore less spare time, I'll happily turn the games difficulty down
I've never had a problem with stick drift, however it took me ages for my hands to get used to the dualsense (hand cramps). My son got the Spider-man dualsense, and that got drift within a month.
I liked Spider-man 2, but to be honest I sold it once I got the plat. Oddly my favourite one has been Miles's game. I do feel it's got very repetitive now though, and it'd be great if Insomniac were allowed to do something else
@themightyant I thought that. They would be the perfect studio to give them a more Japanese focus @AverageGamer I definitely wanted a Ghostwire sequel, i personally loved the game. I will admit though that the original teaser for it was amazing
Um, probably the dumbest question of the year, but couldn't Sony or even Nintendo take on Tango as a renamed studio of something? Do MS own the Hifi Rush/Ghostwire/Evil Within IPs?
I'm still miffed Henry Cavill isn't going to be Superman again tbh.
On topic: I never got past the first season of The Witcher anyway and got caught up in stuff on Netflix like Wu Assassin etc

Ghostwire Tokyo is brilliant, (9/10 for me) but I own the disc so I'll probably just add Hot Wheels to my library

Thanks Sony for convincing me to keep my OG PS5 and getting a Switch 2 instead 👍

Re: Sony Wants Non-PS5 Owners to Use Its Accessories

Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Swings 11 Million Sales as Sony Calls PS5 Exclusive a 'Great Success'
