@Jacko11 they need to just release the original code for ps5 for ac unity, so that it's 60fps and the crowd density is increased. A bump up in the resolution wouldn't kill either lol
@Blauwe_Chimay the two originals are in my backlog. Hence why i nearly didnt play it. I have heard all lot people say the originals are better so something for me to look forward to, if plus stops putting wishlist games on.
Yes loved Dead Island 2, even more so as I completed on PS Plus extra. I think that's what has given me the push to complete any wishlist games that appear on ps plus extra / premium, as I was holding back to play backlog games I bought. However this game really changed that perspective, and now those games are priority. For example I have had to buy Dying Light 2 and Revenant 2 because I didnt play them when they were on plus
Omg.... another two games on my to buy list. That's pushing bought games out, as I would rather utilise my ps plus membership and not have to buy the games
Cant upgrade kiwami 1, have upgraded 2 for free and 11.99 for zero upgrade. Hate it when the store bugs out. It keeps saying I need to own kiwami 1, then proceeds to let me download ps4 version.
Well as I am playing most games from my backlog. Unless older years game count then my two options left that released in 2025 are: Lost Records which i am struggling to enjoy or Tomb Raider Legend. Guess it's the latter
As long as the games turn out to be fun, enjoyable and more importantly cheaper. As a consumer, I never look to see all people who made the games in the end credits (I skip if possible) so I am not going to pretend like I would be concerned. How many people can now truly own up to going to a bank, withdrawing their cash from a cashier, and going to physical shops everyday to purchase their goods at a human teller. No paying by card or phone, just by cash. That is where this started, I.e. doing people out of jobs for convenience. A.i. well just be another convenience, more games made at quicker rates, which we will consume, if they make our individual lives better.
Why dont they ask Naughty Dog how they made the ps3 uncharted collection on ps4? There must be some easy way to convert and improve mgs4 like they did.
@Markatron84 I dont really follow the market places or other convoluted stuff they introduced. I go in play the campaigns, maybe do some strikes and upgrade my guardian to pretty and then drop off until the next story. I dont have time to keep relearning stuff for it to be gone next time I come back.
Sorry for third post but destiny had a special place in my heart. To cap it though, In its current state I will not purchase any more expansions. If they come to plus, I will jump in but that's it.
You know i would actually go through the whole damn story again if I could. Meaning they would have to return the vaulted content, and allow me to purchase battlepass content and find a way to allow us to experience a watered down single player raid experience. I bet you if they did that, they would get a lot of players back. I have never had a second character, I have always been a warlock in d1 and d2, but I would love to do the whole thing, including d1 story as one of the others. I mean that's at least 100hrs commitment there per character (without doing the strikes and multiplayer). Even if they resold it as the ultimate bundle with destiny 1 redone in destiny2 engine. I would re-buy. As long as I could access all content, including versions of raids accessible to single or strike style players of 3. I know it would take some adapting but man it would be the ultimate experience. It could be cross play with the current d2 community so there are player counts there already.
I haven't purchased any expansions for about 4 years now. Just wait for them on plus. I was a seasoned regular on d1 and d2 ubtil they went with the battlepass systen, which correlated with them taking away content i had bought However, as many have pointed out, even playing those expansions for free on plus a year behind, I haven't got a clue what is really going on as there is so much story lost in those battle passes that can never be experienced. I am doing the final shape at the moment and I am like how the fcuk did they get to this part here.
And this seems really silly but I didnt realise until the first poster mentioned that story is tied to raids. Raids that single players can't experience because there has never been match making. So unless you go external or have friends you can't do them.
Excellent line up of games for me. Have none of them, but looking at the video of plus, they all look like something I would give a go. Again. For £13.49 for premium that's about as much as a kfc meal and I have all the option of the higher tiers too. My backlog just got bigger and now I am safe to buy marvel fighting collection and forza in the black Friday sale
I would be interested when they do the playstation year review if they show playtime on ps5, ps5 pro and ps portal. I think despite owning pro because I like the best graphics that I have played in the Portal the most
@saffeqwe was about to ask how long that game is realistically. I always check How Long To Beat, but I must either be really slow, methodical or others just speed through to boast how quick they complete games. It's says 16hrs on HLTB site so i will take your time as more realistic. Guess I will have to switch focus from games I own that I am playing to completing sonic first, then lost records, then blue prince. I love and hate the premium prescription. I play on my portal loads now, but the backlog keeps getting bigger as I rush to complete games that were on my wishlist but came out on plus.
I cant believe I just bought talos principle 2 on the last sale. Argh.....
Will play tomb raider and still wakes the deep. I cant complain them alone are worth the £13.49 monthly p4ice of premium especially for me and the Portal streaming now.
@1970sGamer I like df a lot but they are first to admit they are snobby when it comes to cloud gaming. They don't like it.
I have been playing the final shape destiny 2 and it was very playable. It's not as smooth as doing on the ps5 but that is 120fps
I also been playing nfs unbound and have been doing well in it on the Portal. Especially as that game is ludicrously hard due to rubber banding
@Jrs1 yes saves are universal if you have auto upload donwload cloud saves on your ps5 turned on. I have been playing death stranding ac valhalla and dead island across portal and ps5 without have to go to download and upload saves
I mean massive sales of mh world may have skewered their predictions. I dont know the sales figures for that game but say 20mil bought over its lifespan. If half loved and half hated it (I struggle with it personally), then the first half will likely rush out and buy it in the first 6 months. The rest of us will probably never buy it as we didnt get on with the first one, wait for it to hit a subscription service to try before buy, or wait for an incredibly low sale. Just because the last one sold bucket loads does not mean the next one will, as everyone forms an opinion on it.
@REALAIS yes that is exactly what I am saying. So the bread and butter mp that most people loved in the paid up front games for COD is declining because the players are getting similar free content. Therefore reducing numbers. It's no coincidence that COD no longer releases paid dlc maps now as the reduced player base isn't worth it. This could up end the same for BF with more focus on the free to play if suddenly the numbers swell there. I dont play either game mp, so not gonna be affected but would be sad to see a return to form for BF, ruined by spreading out its player base
@REALAIS but isn't a COD a good example. Year on Year sales are declining for the paid game, which coincides with Warzone coming out. I know they make money on micro transactions but it's still split the player base.
They just need to open up streaming games you own now and it would massively take off. There are so many of my ps4 games I could get through on this but you can stream ps4 at moment
I bought ps1 day one. Ps2 once gta3 launched a year later. I bought ps3 when slim came out that Xmas and ever since then I bought pa4, ps4 pro, ps5 and ps5 pro, ps portal day one. Never bought psp. I bought vita, psvr, psvr2 all after a year on the market.
However, I wont be buying ps6 day one this time. I will get one. Maybe a year or so after launch. This mainly due to the backlog, and the fact I no longer buy games brand new because of the backlog. I find I am playing either ps4 games or upgraded ps4 games more these days. I have bought far more ps3 games recently.
I think the only way I would buy ps6 day one is if it could run ps3 games, and bonus if it can upgrade them. Then I could sack off ps3 finally and just game on one system.
I dont care if the games go on pc day one. I dont want a PC for gaming. I want pick up and play. I love playing games on the Portal. I just wish they open up, so I can stream all my library ps3 to ps5 on it. That would cure my backlog
Am I the only one here, that doesn't care about the article in terms of PS6, but what they have said about the full fat version of fsr4 launching next year for the pro. That's what I want to hear more about. What are the improvements because we have that console now. I am also wondering if they will launch a version of pssr for the ps5 when it's in low power mode to really test the functionality of the potential handheld device. The would be more wiggle room for pssr to be available on a ps5 at the point. It might mean that you are then get same results in low power mode as you would normally
I only buy old games now. I think I have purchased more ps3 games than I have ps4 and ps5 together in the last couple of years. A big backlog and ps plus premium keeps me going
@Cry_Zero that's my exact point. It's all written with stupid nonsensical sounds. Get the characters to speak the words on the screen or say nothing at all. I mean they could easily get ai to put speech in.
Has there been any improvements to voice acting. That was so terrible in the original.
I'm not sure i like the idea of no progression. Platformers in the 90s have always been about earning new abilities and opening up new areas. I say this as someone who finished the first game and almost came close to platinum
