Titntin

Dreadful trailer. Dissapointing show.
Weird cause xbox shows have traditionally got this stuff right.

@ButterySmooth30FPS Never a better comment. Some people cannot wait for any piece of news to simply whine about it. I think its infantile, but its not going away so I come to push less and less as its full of people who dont seem to like games anymore.
I wont let them spoil my enjoyment though... I just go elsewhere.

Really enjoyed it, as I often do.
Saros looks great as does Wolverine.
Crimson dawn looking great too.

Its been a delight. The fact a small handfull of games have not been brilliant with support doesnt negate the overwhelming number of titles that do.
The article even mentions Boderlands 4, which may not have a specific mode, but still offers better performance anyway, having higher res and more consistant frame rates.

We have two pros and theyve been worth every penny to us.

Its a perfectly valid thing to chase realism when you want to use your asset as an actor. Excellent facial motion capture and acting need a realistic model to suspend your disbelief and help you forget your looking at a digital assett.
Of course this should not be at the expense of great gameplay, but nobody is suggesting it should be? Having delivered DS2, we can already see that Kojima delivers interesting game play IN ADDITION to good acting and believable characters to sell the story. Whats not to like?

Was never gone buy this given bl3 and Randys history. It gives me no enjoyment to see that was the right decision.
I can only hope they fix it for the people who still enjoy this series.

Thank you for this review. I missed this title first time round and I feel this is the ideal time to go back and experience where the series started.

After no 3, and Randy Pitchford's usual disgusting behaviour, I will not play another Borderlands ever again.

Another one here who will play this game with my wife. We both love lego games and cant resist couch co-op. I've had my eye on this and I'm happy it's turned out well.
@Scottyy If you are ever in Brixham Devon, you can come and hang with us and we'll play couch co-op with you! Genuine offer 😊

Finally playing Spiderman remastered. Its formulaic, but its a formula I like and its a very well polished experience.
I finally picked up 'Lamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story' and Ive been attempting to match my past on Tempest 2000.

What ever you are playing this weekend, have fun!

Imported jap one for me. £400 from the original cex store in soho London.
Sweet memories, but jesus, I was in my 30s even back then 😃

Top article, I really enjoyed the read.
We need people like suda in the buisness, I look forward to the game.

Glad this is working now... tried twice yesterday before repporting the issue.
For sites for game news, im suprised Skillups new website twiv was not a specific answer, though of course you can add under 'other'.
I look foward to seeing the data once collected, should be interesting!

The pull of nostalgia for this is too strong!
I look forward to doing it all again..

Yes I am the 0.4% who voted for gradius origins! Its such a good package.
Sword of the Sea is definitely worthy of an honarable mention 😀
Shinobi might have stolen it, but Ive not played it yet.

This is a dev to trust and the game is already in good shape considering its 6 months out.
I like Bond, I love uncharted, so this is right near the top of the wish list for me.

Lovely! I'm not usually a big buyer of special controllers, but I really like this one and was a bit miffed I didnt get the first release so I'm likely to get this one. It can sit next to my 30th anniversary one and the four different coloured ones I've collected.

Not sure that stick drift needs be mentioned here. If it happens, just get it fixed with TMR sticks for £20 on Ebay and your done?
I have had 3 dualsence go down with Stick drift now, 2 out of 3 of my Series X controllers have also broke and I use them much less, and I understand the issue is huge on Switch too (though I barely use mine so I've not had the issue myself). All the platform holders need to do better and ensure we have TMR controllers in the next gen, or at least hall effect.

Meantime, I'll bag me an Astrobot controller 😀

Always a pleasure to claim the games.
I might never play viewfinder.
I've played Stardew valley on at least two other systems.
I played Pyschonauts 2 on GP (recommend this game), and I might play again.
Happy to add them all.

If this were a pet the vet would be advising you to end this and save it the pain and hurt we can all see coming....

Whilst I'm interested in this game, I cannot pretend I'm not disappointed this is not a more generic show covering more titles.

Thanks for the review, its left me intrigued to find out more and this looks like a likely purchase.

I always thought the swinging in Spiderman would give me motion issues ( I'm suceptible to this), but Ive tried ' Spiderman Remastered on ps extra this week and Im delighted Im not having any issues with traversal!
I appreciate its essentially just another open world with markers for missions, but I enjoy exactly that. The writting and characters aren't total cringe, the combat is good, set scenes are excellently directed and the whole game is seriously polished. Ive been having a blast.
Still sneaking in some Forza 5 races, and Im getting intrigued by ' Unicorn Overlord ' too, so plenty to play!

Whatever you are playing this weekend, I hope your having fun!

Totally sold on this. Another amazing title to add to the huge pile we have had this year, good time to be a gamer imo 👍

Respect for anyones views on this one, but Im really looking forward to this. It appears to have some to inventive control mechanics and some thought put into it. Im just getting a vibe that Ill connect with this one, so on the wishlist it goes!

Ive become enamoured of a fun little rpg Sand Land which is fun and charming as long as you are not looking for anything too serious. Its also on PS plus, so costs nothing to try if you are on that service, and I do recommend it!
Still playing Forza 5 on a second run through and just starting the dlc tracks. Ive always loved Forza Horizon.
Im hoping to try the new Prince of Persia 2d game too, thats looking great.

Whatever you are playing this weekend, I hope you have fun.

I thought the presentation on the Xbox broadcast today was really good. This had previously slipped under the radar for me, but I'm very interested in getting it now...

It was pretty poor. Distinct lack of any innovation on show..
Edit: Felt so strongly I posted twice? I swear alzheimer's is kicking in

Im definitely feeling it. In a show with little excitement, it was the best thing by miles...

Im normally pretty upbeat about all shows. But apart from maybe 5 trailers and a great song performance, this was really really poor.

@RoomWithaMoose Yeah. I sometimes regret the abration 😀

@streetshadow Eloquently expressed mate. I think my comment style needs more of what your showing...

I predict many people will fall asleep during the show and catch up on trailers after it. or is that just me 😂

@RoomWithaMoose Well lets leave the conversation on something we definitely agree on: I really do hate the guy 👍

@RoomWithaMoose
Inarguable? He's already admitted he made a mistake with what he said about fairgames being cancelled, and then goes on to suggest Andy House was pushed out, which is also not supported by a shred of evidence.
He's clearly and objectively wrong on at least two of his assertions on this 'statement', but somehow that makes his other assertions 'inarguable'? You make no sense in your pandering to his viewpoints, but thats your choice to make. Just as my choice to never believe anything he says, based on a long history of him never being right, is my choice to make and my choice to share here.
As you are clearly blinded to the falsehoods in his current statements in addition to his long history of such, we are clearly not going to find an agreed middle ground, so I wish you a good day.

@RoomWithaMoose Have you only just heard of this guy? It certainly seems so... he continually states rubbish that never comes to pass because he's always wrong.
The games business is 'spread betting' and that inevitably means you are occasionally going to make a mistake. It's still true now and was for the 20 years I worked the industry. Do I think Sony are faultless - absolutely not, but they know a damn site more about the business than Patcher ever will.

@RoomWithaMoose Of course it's nonsense, like all of his tripe. Anyone can look at the current situation with Bungie and say 'that wasn't a good move'. He said jack all when the deal went down though - and he had the same platform.
If you fall for his 'after the event predictions', that says more about you than Sony - a company with record breaking profits and another run away success of a console.

Since when has Patcher gotten anything correct?
If he says one thing you can bank on doing the opposite being the correct path.
Articles like this don't exactly help.. why quote him at all? He speak nonsense all year round...

Thanks for this review. I'm so glad it continues the traditions from these devs and provides me with more memorable hours to treasure. Given the relatively short length, its a good match to be on PS plus extra and I'm looking forward to downloading tomorrow.

@Nekomichu
https://www.eneba.com/gb/psn-playstation-plus-premium-24-months-psn-key-europe

That's where I bought it on 14th. There was a small additional charge towards the end of the check out process that brought it to £187 instead of the £172 advertised, but thats all. You can stack too, my PSN premium now doesn't run out till January 2028.

I include the link as this particular deal is for a code that will work in Europe too. Good luck my friend!

@Discol76 I couldnt agree with you more. Many games have had their reception decided simply by trends in online dicourse rather than anyone actually playing and evaluating the game.
Like any creative endeavour, Id rather it were judged on its own merits or not, rather than 'what people online are saying'. We live in strange times.

Still working my way through Dragons Dogma 2, 93 hours in.

I started having a look at Sand Land today and I have to say Ive found it charming so far, so I expect to play a lot more.
Probably run a few more races in Forza Horizon 5 too.

Whatever you are playing, I hope you have a great weekend!

@Nekomichu I usually get 16% off £100 credit.
Just this morning I bought 2 more years of premium for £187 instead of £240 (21% discount). Discounts have reduced a little, but not by a lot.

The simplest google search brings you direct to these deals, if people don't use them, it's on them, they must be made of cash...

This looks like it could be a lot of fun. Its in a genre where we hardly get any games on ps5 and I would never play multiplayer so certainly wouldnt miss it at all.
One for the wish list for sure!

Another great month with enough variety to please many and definitely me.

@J0HN_L0CKE Thanks for the info pal, that's really helpful!

This was to be expected tbh. Its an ambitious game and the pre release stuff I've seen suggests its needs more time to come in at AAA level. I hope they get it right and we could have a real banger with this one!

Thanks for this review. I'm strangely attracted to the game and I might just have to play it..
Are there daily tasks or any other timed mechanic that try and get you logging in every day? That's a complete turn off for me, so I hope there are none

Really hated this on release when I played it via GP. It was a buggy broken mess and not fun at all.

I'm glad they have continued to work on it and improve it, but it would take trial for me to take another look.
I'm glad many of the bugs are fixed, and it should run best for console play on a pro, so there's some consolation for having to wait a while if you are a PS only player - and that's just facts despite the usual 'bristling' from the usual suspects.

@AdamNovice Excellent post with well illustrated points. Absolutely no need to be sorry for adding to the debate in such a reasoned way.
I also happen to agree with your points 😀 Her character was much more adult, together with all the flaws that brings, and watching her learn to trust and rely on help as the story unfolded was much better writting than the insipid one dimensional characters that inhabit many games.
