£16 quid for 2.5 hrs of campaign DLC, 3rd person mode and extra characters for the mercenary mode? Hhhmmm.

MGS was ahead of its time. MGS3 was ahead of its time and still shows up modern games from a gameplay perspective.

TLOU was a good / great game but ahead of its time...what was revolutionary about it?

I mean, shouldn't they have been doing this from the start? Seems like basic common sense...

Always liked the idea of weapon degradation or your guns jamming. Made it more realistic. Though it always tends to happen to me when im mid fight and the gun jams or breaks!

@Danloaded
is that the case? Damn, i was hoping to get a cheap PS4 copy and upgrade to the PS5 edition for free. At least then the game might have been worth the purchase.

As it is its £35 on the PS store for the PS5 version.

Hey EA i've solved your FPS rival COD shooter problem.

MEDAL

@AFCC
Yep at this point I’ll start my 3rd play through at the end of 2023 when the games complete.

It’s a shame this is being added 2 years down the line.

I’ve played this game twice. Once on the ps4 on release date when it was a broken mess and February this year when they released the 1.5 PS5 patch.

Though I love the setting and storyline and will likely dive into the DLC.

In other news… water is wet. Tune in next week for an update from the ministry of obvious.

Might pick this up on the cheap for the free PS5 upgrade closer to the time.

Doom 2016 but set in an alternative America where the nazi s won. Easiest way to explain it.
Has robot dogs in it if that helps, close to werewolves.

@Would_you_kindly

That is a rhetorical question. If you like FPS and killing nazis, then boy is this the game franchise for you. Ignore Youngblood…we don’t talk about Youngblood.

And to think this all started because of Horse Armour...

I was quite interested in this game when it was known as god and monsters, then when they showed off the new art style alongside with the name change I lost interest. Though it’s currently on eBay new for £8 so I’ll inevitably pick it up.

Polynesian gods would be super interesting.

This games seems half way between a remake and remaster. Not fully one nor the other. If you've never played the game it will be worth it, if you're a major fan it will be worth it.

A part of me suspects its been remade to tie with the upcoming TV show and that Part 1 and Part 2 are in the process of being ported to PC in the near future and Part 1 needed a refresh prior to being ported.

No Sweat Summer - is Prince Andrew the sponsor?

Hmm have never bought a collectors / special edition in all my time of gaming. However, god of war 2018 was so fantastic and got me hooked on Norse mythology, that I am very tempted to go all in.

I’m in as I’ve never played the original.

hmm colour me interested. i'll be willing to give this a try. Never played the original, was looking forward to the remake. Saw the reviews and never purchased it. Might be worth a stab if the remake of the remake is worthwhile.

I assume this will be re-reviewed by pushsquare when it hits the PS5?

Can’t wait as it’s often on the 50 greatest ps3 hits list and I never got to play it.

Nerd fact. Game was co produced by James Gunn of Guardians of the Galaxy fame.

Might just be me but i dont see any difference!

@KilloWertz
Ellie was the reason you played the game. I played the game because ND deliver a kick ass game, story and characters.

Love how the haters changed the goalposts for Part 2.

Haters: it will never sell 10m copies "go woke go broke."

Part 2 sells 10m copies

Haters: Part 3 wont sell because of part 2

So Resident Evil in space? I’m in never played dead space so this looks like a good place to start.

Hmm not sure on this one. Love DOOM, love FPS and love rock / metal but it’s just not hooking me in. Might be worth trying the demo before hand.

I’m in! Looks good in the trailer, though I’ll wait for more gameplay footage and actual reviews before committing as the Alien franchise can be hit and miss. Both game and film wise.

Shame it’s not over the shoulder 3rd person.

The ultimate weapon is the Tsar bomb…Or the nano machines from no time to die.

We might be waiting a while (2 years) as I suspect Montreal are probably remaking the entire game at this point. Looks like the Indian studio completely dropped the ball and it’s been handed other to another internal studio to rectify.

Shame as I was looking forward to this having never played them originally.

@theMEGAniggle we will found out. Though I assume it will go onto game pass? Though not at release date as I assume the buyout isn’t completed yet.

Me: ahhh I’ll buy it at a high price!
My wallet: no you won’t!

Hhhm multiplayer only? I’m out!
Xbox only? I’m out!

At least I still have the remastered trilogy and crash 4 to rely upon if I feel nostalgic.

Isn’t there another warhammer FPS in production and due for release soon. Not sure how I feel about 90s pixel in 2022.

@Would_you_kindly. Oh I’ll definitely pick it up in the near future but for an extra tenner I managed to get Horizon Forbidden West.

Just checked it’s a very short game - 5 hours. Think I’ll wait for a price drop.

Had this bought for me as an xmas gift 15 months ago. Was hyped waiting for it, read up on the lore etc. Saw the reviews and the YouTube vids showing how bad this game was rushed and the lack of features. CDPR mugged their fans off.

Waited until patch 1.3 to play it on my PS4, when it was a tad more stable - allegedly. Put in about 40 hours dealt with various bugs and crashes - could only recommend the excellent cyberpunk sci fi storyline.

Purchased a PS5 and waited for patch 1.5 and spent the last 2 weeks playing it. This time do the opposite choices and actions to my first play through. Even with the updates the game lacks basic features that could be found in Farcry 3 and GTA 3.

Again the storyline, the city and Johnny Silverhand make the game.

A DLC shouldn’t have V or silverhand as in game (spoilers) their dead or deleted, though as one of the other posters noted. V and Silverhands interactions make the game, so not sure how the DLC will fare missing those 2 characters.

Hhhm debating this as I’ve just completed cyberpunk for the 2nd time. I do like a traditional platformer I.e crash. Shame the score was low wonder if some patches might take the rough edges off.

I'm undecided if this is a good thing or a bad thing. Yes opening up old games on PC brings in more money for Sony, doesn't automatically translate into more and better games for us. Kind of defeats the object of 'exclusivity' if its just a year.

I suspect long term Sony and MS both want to move away from developing consoles - which is the most costliest bit of the business and takes years to recoup - and become Netflix style apps on various devices with significantly lower running costs.

At this rate i'd be better off buying a PC for the next gen and getting access to Sony games via the app, MS Xbox games via gamepass and just using a console controller.

After playing the recent remaster of Destroy all Humans, doubt i'll purchase another remake from this franchise as i found the game basic, even by the standards of the PS2 era.

Dont get me wrong it was a bit of harmless fun to whittle away the hours but there was no replayability.

Damn it Ubisoft...i liked Black Flag and an entire game focusing on the ship warfare gameplay, with modern controls and graphics alongside a great single player pirate focused storyline had huge appeal to me.

If its solely online multiplayer, i'm out.

Yep. Depending on the reviews might be a day 1 purchase for me. Loved the crash bandicoot trilogy and crash bandicoot 4 (except the final level, which I never finished!). Consoles need more platformers, shame they’re relying on old franchises and nothing new or revolutionary is available.

@GreatAuk
I thought the same but for different reasons. I love the new gritty Lara and the uncharted play style. However, shadow had these jungle settings and all the skills you could unlock to fight in the jungle but the Jungle levels were quite short. So you never got apply all the skills you unlocked and certainly not indepth.

The storyline looked as though it was going to investigate an interesting angle i.e. questioning Lara's actions and how she's responsible for triggering the apocalypse and has murdered upteen goons but it never followed up on the questions it posed.

Wonder if they learnt any lessons and will apply what they have learnt to their future releases...nah thought not!

@Uncharted2007
I was thinking the same. A controller wouldnt feel the same as a lightgun. Unless they put effort into the motion control aspect of aiming.

For an iconic franchise with an ace modern reboot they haven’t capitalised on Lara like they could have. I mean how did they celebrate a gaming and female icon on her 25th anniversary? With a cook book! Not a new game, or film a cookbook!

Also they need to ‘god of war’ her next game. Give her a child and an epic modern journey through a forgotten religion.

Played most of the games on this list. My suggestion:

Doom eternal - hands down. Great design built with love and along with DOOM reinvigorated a nearly dead franchise. The soundtrack is superb it’s designed to be played at lighting speed. Can be picked up pretty cheap along with an ace season pass.

Though as others have mentioned shouldn’t Resident Evil 7 and 8 be on the list?

Hhhmmm not sure if it’s me having these problems but I own and completed the base game. it was installed on my PS5. However, the DLC, specifically the season pass content isn’t showing as free at all.

I deleted this version and downloaded the free trial version from the PS store and the DLC / add ons are blanked off and can’t be accessed.

Anyone else having this problem?

If this was released as a standalone game it would have been a day 1 purchase for me. But i'd need to own Valhalla (£25) then purchase this DLC (£33).

Value for money this is a pretty well priced DLC and is pretty much a full game.

I will get round to this but i found with Assassin Creed Origins, after completing the base campaign i had no desire to complete the DLC i had purchased, as i had grown tired of the game mechanics.

Origins was a 40 hour campaign, Valhalla is a 100 hours before you add in this 33 hour DLC!

Only took them 14 months! granted the apocalypse occurred. So a bit of leeway is fair.

Shame they didn’t delay the game and release it in what now appears to be a playable state. The would have avoided a lot and I mean a lot of valid criticism.

If this was a standalone game it would be a day 1 purchase for me. Valhalla, is what 60 hours long at least!? Not including the others DLC’s.

I played origins and was bored because of the length. So bit concerned about 100 hrs. Don’t think I’ll have the time to attempt this.

1950's Future Russian architecture. Check.

AK47. Check.

Mick Gordon. Check.

This game has been on my radar since its announcement. The first trailer for the game looked ok, this trailer makes the game look amazing. However, Cyberpunk 2077 looked amazing in the trailers, so i'm cautiously optimistic.
