@MidnightDragonDX I think you missed that this is PS Store charts freind. Either way BF6 is getting a lot of coverage for all platforms and certainly has a longer legacy than Ghost, so I dont find it that suprising either.
All I really wanted was the ability to log in as a different user on startup like on any other system. Its ridiculous you still cant without jumping through hoops. However, this is good functionality for those that care. Mine is never used outside the house, so much as I approve it does nothing for me as I can stream all these games anyway with my PS premium account.
@somnambulance You and me both mate. I love jrpgs, I like the style and Im rooting for a small team and love the devs story. But Expedition 33 just didnt do it for me, and not just because of the tiresome repetitive and annoying parry gameplay, I actually cheered when we 'lost' the first player character, as I absolutely hated him. I didn't nt even rate the music (sacrilege for many I know) Maybe Ill try again one day and understand why people love it with such passion, but having tried to like for 40 hours Im not feeling in a hurry to try again. For now it will be Ghost that gets the nod from me, but theres a few little indies like Ball x Pit which run it close 😃
More Ghost of Yotei, it really is excellent. Gave my wife a Switch 2 mid week as it was her birthday, so hopefully we will play mario kart world or donkey kong. I took a punt on test drive solar crown as it was dead cheap and once you work past the cringe and accept the sub par map, theres actually quite a lot of fun to be had exploring the map.
Whatever you are playing this weekend, I hope you have fun!
I didnt enjoy the first one and never completed it. I also don't like the aesthetics here - its personal taste but I think it looks awful, hate the material design and the whole design concept. So no, I don't want to play this one, but I hope that those that do have a great time.
I think that the main idea here is not just one form of social media, but the 'TikTok' generation, which have been shown to have very low attention spans and barely consume any media that's longer than a few minutes.
It's going to be hard for traditional media companies to get this generation on board, and that's everyone, from Sony and Microsoft to Netflix and Paramount. How do you hold the attention of someone with the attention span of a fly?
But they all need to to have a future market..
@Northern_munkey Cheers pal, im sure I will. I like almost any decent car game. I picked up Test drive @ £17 and despite some rough edges, me and the misses still got hooked. Im sure Im gonna enjoy wreckreation too, though the name is so naff its hard to press 'buy' Im certain we will 😀 You have a great day my friend!
Ok titles, Ill enjoy checking out EA wrc. Stray will be good for all those newer system owners who have gotten a console since we last played the game. No idea what the third thing is, but Ill check it out regardless - never look a gift horse in the mouth, as the saying goes!
@HonestHick No problem mate. I respect Shaun and remember him making that point, which is ultimately correct. You cant build a buisness for the future relying on old man gamers like me, eventually you need the gen with the attention span of a gnat, though I dont see how you can engage them to any media, they cant even watch a film!
As for Microsoft, they appear to be making PCs from now on. I have 5 pcs in the house and hardly ever play a game on one. Im consoles all the way and I dont find Microsofts windows gaming attractive at all. Arguments about what makes them money are also irrelevant to me, Im not a shareholder, Im a console gamer and right now they got nothing for me unless I pay for GP which I will never do at that price. Never say never, but one thing I know is that MS rarely deliver what they promise without a catch. Now I can get the odd title I want from them on PS, Ive no need for the console, but if they make anything compelling in the future I can think about it then 👍 I just replaced the series x with a switch 2, so I can play the odd ninty title we wont see elsewhere. Im sorted.
Im also not really bothered about Sonys future either. They have a good thing going right now and have been posting record profits last couple of years, so they will be making good consoles I can play all the best games on for plenty more time yet, maybe more time than I have...
So I see your point, but a sony site giving a pass to sony is no worse than a microsoft site giving a pass to microsoft. Its gonna happen and Im going to try hard to not let it bother me. Honestly mate, its best to just shake your head and move on, but I understand if you wish to point out the hypocrisy of many, just dont ever expect it to change!
Have a great one mate 👍
@HonestHick Whilst its lovely of you to include me in your post, my only post on this thread is sympathising with someone whos got rid of his series X because I just did too. Absolutely nothing about this statement at all which I didnt remark upon as I see his point. I notice you included themightyant too, who specifically pointed out that the guy has a good point.
If your going to rebut a point of view, you should do so to those whom have shared it, this type of 'scatterbomb' reply is pointless when many of the people you are replying to already accept the point and have never stated otherwise?
So yes I accept your point, its a good one, but I always did accept it. Have a great day..
@Killionaire My preference for FH4 over FH5:
The races are much better. Particularly in Fortune Island DLC. There is still some sense of progress and your not given a garage full of cars without working for it like you are in FH5.You actually have to work to earn cars you'd like to race which provides a satisfaction you never feel in FH5. There's more traffic on the roads, which I like.
Lastly, it's in the UK with roads and places I can relate too - I accept this is personnel and will vary from person to person though.
I'm not alone in feeling this. Most people who have played the Forza Horizon games since the beginning will agree that they peaked with FH4.
None of this stops FH5 being a fantastic title though in its own right, and well worth the play. Especially if you are on PS5 and it's the only one you have access too.
Im all over this one. Played forza 5 to completion (including both dlc) three times now (pc, series x, ps5) and theres not much left I want to do. I much prefered Forza 4 anyway.
But theres room in my life for more open world racing (why would I stick with just one?), and as I simply dont mesh with this sites reviews very often, they rarely stop me from looking at a new title.
Id have loved a Burnout 3 style game with crashmode, but I think its getting much harder to sell that style of game to the masses, so Ill take this as I enjoyed paradise as well, just not as much.
@Skippermonkey Im exactly the same mate, feels weird but theres no longer a series x under my telly. It was for GP, but Ill never pay £24 a month to rent a few games, most of which Id never have bought. With no more exclusives, it just doesnt make any sense to have one any more, so Ive bought into switch 2 instead, which does have some exclusives Id like to play. Ive always had an xbox, but they've been killing the brand for years now and the ABK acquisition saw them become a big publisher rather than a platform holder. If your a shareholder for MS, no worries they will make plenty of cash as a 3rd party publisher, but for the rest of us who just want a console, they have become irrelevant. Sad, but they wont care...
Im carrying on with Yotei which is very involving and Im loving every minute. I've also taken a look at test drive solar crown as its £17 in the sale and on season 4, so its had a lot of updates. If you can make it through the god awful opening 20 minutes and overlook some pretty rough elements, the actual racing and island to explore are pretty fun. Im also starting out in Skate and like what Ive seen so far.
Whatever your playing this weekend, I hope you have fun!
It needs to bbe cheap if theres no multiplayer. My fave in this series was Halo 2, so Ill keep my fingers crossed they give that a similar treatment...
@Northern_munkey As long as you have a good tv, 4k vrr 120hz of a decent size, and your not in need of new glasses, then I think its a no brainer. I did this stuff for a living so its a given I notice improvements, but my wife and a few freinds all noticed the difference too. Its a more pleasing form factor, 2tb on board is really helpful and with several titles its really chalk and cheese with clearly higher res and some rt options you dont get on the standard. We have 2 tvs and two ps5s in our lounge, so it was really easy to compare differences when I got one on release. The pro was always top image quality. it was such a no brainer for us that we upgraded the second ps5 too and now run two pros. I get very motion sick on vr unfortunately, but my close freind has one and assures me the unit works much better with a pro where the extra res is really noticable. If you are a gamer who is happy enough with 1080p and 30hz gaming (and theres nothing wrong with that) then it really isnt for you. But if you notice the difference and like to play games the best you can, then the pro is currently the pinnicle of console performance and likely to remain that way for at least the next couple of years. Get it from Amazon, play for a weekend and if your not really feeling it just tell em you changed your mind and send it back. I suspect you will be very happy though - just try Forza 5. Let me know how you get on!
@Medic_alert Hey, you dont lose your MH helping the least advantaged in society unless you lean a little that way yourself, so I do understand. Have a good day mate.
@johndoe89 Its due to recieve some significant updates next year and has already had two minor ones. The issue with some lumin rt features not always working with Pssr is well known now and its a big oversight that Obsidian did not allow for this and leave the default upscaler in place till they had time to look. Pro would still have ran faster at higher res with standard ps5 code, so it seems a little amateurish to not have done a more considered pro mode, or indeed none at all. I assume you are unaware that you can leave your machine in 'rest mode' and it can update games and OS overnight so your code is up to date when you want to play? My machines are always in rest mode.
@Medic_alert Re affordability: we had previously had a discussion where I had shown both games and hardware are actually slightly cheaper now than when ps4 launched in 2013 and you had commented its a shame wages hadnt kept up. I showed that in the uk wages were actually growing above inflation and you mentioned it had not for you in public service. I offered my sympathy and understanding as I now work for a public service helping the homeless and had also had rubbish wage increases. Having reread that conversation earlier I assumed finances were tight and that may have have been a driver behind your current disappointment.. sorry if I read that wrong. As for post deletes that post has just been rightfully removed, so I deleted anyway
@MrStark If you have a ps5, you will know the game state is saved if you go into rest mode. Turn back on and you are immediately exactly back where you were. You cant do multiple games like this because Microsoft has a patent on quick resume, but its perfect for a single game you are playing through.
@Medic_alert
You will notice Id deleted the comment a few minutes after posting it. I cant complain about people acting childishly whilst doing that myself.
Off course Im not policing your comments, that was one of the reasons the comment needed deleting.
When I see such big performance gains across the board, I assume people must be acting in bad faith when they make such a definitive comment as you did. Especially when my wife, who wasnt a dev for 2 decades, also notices the improvements without any prompting.
However, everyones experiences are clearly different, and while I may think its the most performant console Ive owned, you can state its the worst console you've owned too. The two statements are not mutually exclusive. Clearly you should not have bought one, especially when I know you are pushed for money.
You are also not one of those who come here to hate everything, just the pro, and Id mistook you for some others who do engage in that. On that front I owe you an apology, Ill delete my post if you ask.
@bazchillin Yes mate, one of the reasons I went digital was to ensure no disc noise and its also the most likely part of a machine to fail (if we ignore stick drift!).
Thank you, yes Id rather make sure the machine goes somewhere it will get used and enjoyed. Gutted that its turned out this way for xbox, Ive always had one plugged in since the very first, but theres no reason for me to keep one any longer. Maybe when they make their pc box I'll jump back in
@bazchillin I cant speak for the disc drives as I've been all digital for many years on Series X and PS5, but PS5 is completely silent in my experience. I've now had 4 ps5's (we use two and I've replaced both with Pro's) and had a series X plugged in next to a PS5. All of them are silent. Sadly my Series X was a GP machine and I'll not pay £24 a month for GP, so its been removed and I won't use it any further. I think the PS5 is a superior platform anyway and I've used dumping the series X as my excuse to buy a switch 2. There's a charity down the road to provide gaming to kids and I'm going to give the series X to them and hope they like it. I'll buy some games so I can provide some games for them too.
@themightyant Once again you are the voice of reason. Your wasted on here though mate, its the same people who want to kick off at any news Most regulars wont even bother reading what they've written as they've proven time and time again they have nothing to state of any insight. I do appreciate that you try though, it's nice to know not everyone is terminally ridiculous! 👏
Those drab environments mean its simply the combat thats the draw and no doubt thats as rock hard as ever. 20 years ago Id have enjoyed the challenge, but not anymore and simply giving me assists that do the work for me is unlikely to feel satisfying to play. I appreciate that they have tried to make it accessible in this way, but I rarely feel involved if the game is simply doing things for me as opposed to the design allowing a difficulty I could play by myself. Thats just me though, if you like the challenge of these games and still have younger reflexes, then Im sure theres a lot to enjoy here.
Its clearly not aimed at us, Id double power useage for more frames! So its very likely this is indeed paving the way for a potential handheld ps5. How interesting!!
@Oram77 Youre simply stating what so many of us think. The man hasnt got a positive thought in his head and clearly thinks he has something to say instead of nothing, again and again and again.
Absolutely loved Motorfest, some of the best racing, and myself and my wife have never had such outright glee and laughter in a racing title as we did playing this game, despite being huge Forza fans and acknowledging how good that series is too. I love that they continue to add courses and content and its high time I went back to this title and enjoyed it again. I have a vrr tv and a pro...its smooth as silk.
@Aeralto You have not played it. These are reports on Reddit. I'll make my choices based on real evidence from people who have played it, rather than those who claim it needs fixing based on rumour... I'll continue to hope the rumour and speculation prove wide of the mark or it would be a shame...
I really loved the original game but am glad not to see garden warefare which I really didnt like. Ive been patiently waiting for this game, but Im a little concerned at these reports and hope they do not reflect the state of the game once its delivered 😮
@Northern_munkey I can only imagine this in vr, Im pretty sure that will be amazing! Unfortunately I get ill and have to miss out. I hate that, but Ive had to learn to accept it 🙄
@Oram77 You asked me directly why people should care about numbers unless they are an accountant for the publishers and I told you why it makes a difference imo. There's no point in asking me a question and getting upset if I reply with an answer - surely this is the place for civilised discourse?
I think I made some valid points as to why many would care, but you are clearly free to disagree.
Its fair to mention Tango, but I'd argue Microsoft are a whole sub heading and few of their decisions make much sense lately, so they are the exception to the rule!
Either way, I had the conversation with you that you invited and we can agree to disagree on those points with no animosity involved. I'm glad you asked me the question, and I'm glad we had an adult conversation about it, thank you.
Have a great day mate.
@Oram77 I think you must have missed the bit where studios are closing down one after the other if their game is not successful. While I wouldn't expect that of Sucker Punch even if sales were mediocre, its nevertheless good to see a game you like, doing well and showing that a well crafted game with no monetisation and built to an exacting quality standard is still a great model for success. Good sales for good games are important if you want a bright future - otherwise you'll get AI slop. I'm glad you enjoyed the game even though I despair that you cant see the importance of success.
@Oram77 Because good sales means the team will be free to make another great game to their own vision. If you have played this game, then you'll know that this is important. If you really enjoy a game, its nice to know others do too and that the team behind it have success and can produce another. Only losers hang around on a site about a hobby which is supposed to bring enjoyment raining their dull depressing view on everybody else on every article. There's a tone of them on Push. They clearly haven't got anything more important to do in life except attack other people's enjoyment. Its pathetic.
This game is sublime and deserves all the success its getting. I've no understanding of people who wish to talk it down, even if I normally have decent conversations with them - those kind of comments are unbelievably negative. "somebody on the web told me its much lower sales, but I cant show any evidence" That kind of comment is as useful as a chocolate teapot.
@StitchJones Hi mate, thanks for the update! So glad the game has improved for you, I continue to enjoy it too and it will leave a lasting impression on me. Happy gaming !
@thebizniznizbiz Nothing daft about your follow up post, everyone makes there own choices and I get it if you prefer playing your PC. I never play games on my PC and much prefer gaming on a console, but I fully understand the opposite viewpoint. Be a boring world if we all thought the same. 😀 That aside, I still believe that if you are going to make a comparison between two bits of tech, they really should be at a similar price point, and most programs or channels that compare almost anything do so in a similar price point cause it just makes sense. Regardless, have a great time with your 5070!

The two statements are not mutually exclusive. Clearly you should not have bought one, especially when I know you are pushed for money.
You are also not one of those who come here to hate everything, just the pro, and Id mistook you for some others who do engage in that. On that front I owe you an apology, Ill delete my post if you ask.
Re: PS5 Pro Is Definitely Not the Best Place to Play The Outer Worlds 2 at Launch
@bazchillin Yes mate, one of the reasons I went digital was to ensure no disc noise and its also the most likely part of a machine to fail (if we ignore stick drift!).
Thank you, yes Id rather make sure the machine goes somewhere it will get used and enjoyed. Gutted that its turned out this way for xbox, Ive always had one plugged in since the very first, but theres no reason for me to keep one any longer. Maybe when they make their pc box I'll jump back in

@somnambulance Depressing isn't it?
Re: New EA Partnership Will 'Reimagine How Games Are Made' with AI
This is EA. You can expect the worse with surety.
I worked for EA making AAA games for years and know first hand that they are the anthesis of creativity.
Nothing wrong with AI tools, it's about how you use them. But I guarantee that EA will use them in the worst possible way.
Re: PS5 Pro Is Definitely Not the Best Place to Play The Outer Worlds 2 at Launch
@bazchillin I cant speak for the disc drives as I've been all digital for many years on Series X and PS5, but PS5 is completely silent in my experience.
I've now had 4 ps5's (we use two and I've replaced both with Pro's) and had a series X plugged in next to a PS5. All of them are silent.
Sadly my Series X was a GP machine and I'll not pay £24 a month for GP, so its been removed and I won't use it any further. I think the PS5 is a superior platform anyway and I've used dumping the series X as my excuse to buy a switch 2.
There's a charity down the road to provide gaming to kids and I'm going to give the series X to them and hope they like it. I'll buy some games so I can provide some games for them too.

@Oram77 lol. Sometimes you just gotta bite

@themightyant
Once again you are the voice of reason. Your wasted on here though mate, its the same people who want to kick off at any news Most regulars wont even bother reading what they've written as they've proven time and time again they have nothing to state of any insight.
I do appreciate that you try though, it's nice to know not everyone is terminally ridiculous! 👏
Re: Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora's Third-Person Update Practically Makes It a New PS5 Game
This game world was fantastic. I played it despite prefering 3rd person, but maybe Ill play again and get the dlc now for another play through.
Re: Ninja Gaiden 4 (PS5) - A Bloodthirsty Action Game Ripped Straight from the PS3 Era
Those drab environments mean its simply the combat thats the draw and no doubt thats as rock hard as ever. 20 years ago Id have enjoyed the challenge, but not anymore and simply giving me assists that do the work for me is unlikely to feel satisfying to play. I appreciate that they have tried to make it accessible in this way, but I rarely feel involved if the game is simply doing things for me as opposed to the design allowing a difficulty I could play by myself.
Thats just me though, if you like the challenge of these games and still have younger reflexes, then Im sure theres a lot to enjoy here.
Re: Surprise Days Gone Remastered Update Takes Advantage of New PS5 Feature
Its clearly not aimed at us, Id double power useage for more frames! So its very likely this is indeed paving the way for a potential handheld ps5. How interesting!!
Re: The Possibility of Ghost of Yotei DLC Could Be Down to You
@Oram77 Youre simply stating what so many of us think. The man hasnt got a positive thought in his head and clearly thinks he has something to say instead of nothing, again and again and again.
Re: From NASCAR to New Islands, The Crew Motorfest Is Going All-In for Year 3 on PS5, PS4
Absolutely loved Motorfest, some of the best racing, and myself and my wife have never had such outright glee and laughter in a racing title as we did playing this game, despite being huge Forza fans and acknowledging how good that series is too.
I love that they continue to add courses and content and its high time I went back to this title and enjoyed it again.
I have a vrr tv and a pro...its smooth as silk.
Re: There Are Big Concerns About Plants vs Zombies' PS5, PS4 Re-Release
@Aeralto
You have not played it.
These are reports on Reddit.
I'll make my choices based on real evidence from people who have played it, rather than those who claim it needs fixing based on rumour...
I'll continue to hope the rumour and speculation prove wide of the mark or it would be a shame...
Re: There Are Big Concerns About Plants vs Zombies' PS5, PS4 Re-Release
I really loved the original game but am glad not to see garden warefare which I really didnt like.
Ive been patiently waiting for this game, but Im a little concerned at these reports and hope they do not reflect the state of the game once its delivered 😮
Re: PS5 Puzzler Lumines Arise Is Looking Incredible in New Overview Video

The fact it comes with 'Teams' pre-installed tells me everything I need to know.
No thanks.

Really looking forward to this one.I had a good time with Lumines in the past!

Good selection of titles again...
Re: Ghost of Yotei Is Sony's Biggest PS5 Launch Since Spider-Man 2 in Europe
@Oram77 You asked me directly why people should care about numbers unless they are an accountant for the publishers and I told you why it makes a difference imo. There's no point in asking me a question and getting upset if I reply with an answer - surely this is the place for civilised discourse?
I think I made some valid points as to why many would care, but you are clearly free to disagree.
Its fair to mention Tango, but I'd argue Microsoft are a whole sub heading and few of their decisions make much sense lately, so they are the exception to the rule!
Either way, I had the conversation with you that you invited and we can agree to disagree on those points with no animosity involved. I'm glad you asked me the question, and I'm glad we had an adult conversation about it, thank you.
Have a great day mate.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Is Sony's Biggest PS5 Launch Since Spider-Man 2 in Europe
@Oram77 I think you must have missed the bit where studios are closing down one after the other if their game is not successful.
While I wouldn't expect that of Sucker Punch even if sales were mediocre, its nevertheless good to see a game you like, doing well and showing that a well crafted game with no monetisation and built to an exacting quality standard is still a great model for success. Good sales for good games are important if you want a bright future - otherwise you'll get AI slop.
I'm glad you enjoyed the game even though I despair that you cant see the importance of success.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Is Sony's Biggest PS5 Launch Since Spider-Man 2 in Europe
@Oram77
Because good sales means the team will be free to make another great game to their own vision.
If you have played this game, then you'll know that this is important. If you really enjoy a game, its nice to know others do too and that the team behind it have success and can produce another.
Only losers hang around on a site about a hobby which is supposed to bring enjoyment raining their dull depressing view on everybody else on every article. There's a tone of them on Push. They clearly haven't got anything more important to do in life except attack other people's enjoyment. Its pathetic.
Re: Ghost of Yotei Is Sony's Biggest PS5 Launch Since Spider-Man 2 in Europe
This game is sublime and deserves all the success its getting.
I've no understanding of people who wish to talk it down, even if I normally have decent conversations with them - those kind of comments are unbelievably negative.
"somebody on the web told me its much lower sales, but I cant show any evidence" That kind of comment is as useful as a chocolate teapot.

@StitchJones Hi mate, thanks for the update!
So glad the game has improved for you, I continue to enjoy it too and it will leave a lasting impression on me.
Happy gaming !
Re: PS6 Manufacturing Scheduled to Get Underway in Early 2027
@thebizniznizbiz Nothing daft about your follow up post, everyone makes there own choices and I get it if you prefer playing your PC. I never play games on my PC and much prefer gaming on a console, but I fully understand the opposite viewpoint. Be a boring world if we all thought the same. 😀
That aside, I still believe that if you are going to make a comparison between two bits of tech, they really should be at a similar price point, and most programs or channels that compare almost anything do so in a similar price point cause it just makes sense.
Regardless, have a great time with your 5070!
