The switch 2 will sell a ton of consoles so it's competitive in that regard but when it comes to power ect, I think it's going to be closer to the ps4 (maybe). Now give me a luigis mansion 4 and a new Mario game.
I thought outlaws was OK but not great, I enjoyed Kay and nix and thought the other chars were good. Jedi survivor though was amazing and I really enjoy playing a Jedi and I thought the story was alot better than outlaws. I think Shadows will be a defining moment for UBI and I want shadows to do well, I'm looking forward to it anyway. I guess we've just got to sit back and watch this space and see if UBI is sold to Tencent after Shadows.
I'm all for this delay, I'm looking forward to Shadows and more time to flesh out bugs ect is only a good thing. I hope this game does really well for UBI.
I think it's actually a great idea that's been implemented in a really bad way. Stars should be available from the console and you should be able to showcase your wall of collections and also be able to view friends collections to. You should be able the view and select quests on the console also.
I just think they need to fully integrate it to the ps5 and thus make it more appealing overall. At the moment it feels like and idea sony had but never realised it's full potential.
When I first played DS I didn't like it at all, I thought it was just a walking Sim, so switched it off and left it alone, I went back to it in 2024 and I got really into it although the story was confusing to me, I ended up enjoying the game overall, I'm really looking forward to DS2 but as it plays like the first one I might find myself playing it and dropping it only to come back to it later and enjoy it. We shall see.
If it's anything like the the OG Starship Troopers then I'm all for it, that movie was so ahead of it time and I would love to see Van dein get a part in the movie, that would be cool.
I'm not to fussed about how powerful the switch 2 will be because they will still release amazing games that reach the hardwares full potential. If they can get tears of the kingdom to run on the og switch then the new hardware with a new zelda game is going to be awesome.
I might actually give SS a go now it's free but I'm not expecting much, as for the other games they're not my thing. Wondering what games we'll get for extra and premium this month. Wasssuupp.
If Sega are going to do this then I hope it's something that can be added to ps plus or gamepass, like ubi classics and ea play. They would have to get the pricing right though.
I tried my hardest to get into stalker 2 on the xbox but I couldn't get passed the first anomaly due to an invisible enemy one hit killing me over and over again, so frustrating!
How can anyone comment on a deal when they don't have a clue what happened behind closed doors, this deal might be the deal they wanted all along we just don't know and we can't speculate. I personally think this is a good thing for all and in the end gamers don't miss out, we all get to play From Software games which is great as for what Microsoft might make exclusive we just don't know, I was very shocked to see that the OuterWorlds 2 will be mulit platform so you never know what games will be exclusive or not.
As I've said before..... If they're releasing a pro variant then they need to also do a big trade in deal like they did for the ps4 pro. Here (south UK) our local game did an amazing deal of trading in the standard ps4 and paying £50 to upgrade to the pro. Now if Sony do a deal like that then I'm game and I'll get it but if they don't then I'll stick with my base PS5 and wait for the PS6 whenever that gets released.
Absolutely loving it at the moment, I'm playing in 60fps mode as I like that but the 30 fps 4k also runs really really good. This game is just fantastic so far and I've had no bugs what's so ever.
I'm all for it. I'll never understand how people can be so angry in life that they get triggered by what someone else does with thier life or the Stories told in a film, tv series, game etc. Just sit back and relax and watch the world progress without you.
@NinjaNicky Glover was weird but it did some cool things for it's time like being able to walk on a ball and using said ball to jump higher but overall it was a terrible game haha.
@danlk1ng exactly. I'll sit back and wait but yeah I've got a backlog and games coming out. I'm doing all Dlcs right now on BL3 and then dead island on Friday which is going to be epic I hope. So many games and so little time haha.
Can't wait!!!! Me and my brother are huge fans of the first so we can't wait to get into this and now with crossplay and discord we'll be able to game together. Really looking forward to it 😊
@danlk1ng I didn't actually think of it like that until I saw your comment. I agree, although it was weird it not being in legacy, I now believe having a separate game with the team only focusing on quidditch and nothing else should surely mean a better and more polished experience, I do wonder about the price of it though.
I don't condone any of thier practices but I feel that they had a kind of weird effect when it comes to the ps5. Scalpers made getting a ps5 really difficult but with them buying most of the ps5s and it hitting the media it gave the ps5 this kind of holy grail status as something that was really hard to obtain without spending stupid amounts to get one so thus increased the interest in the ps5. People who weren't even thinking of getting a ps5 started to wonder what all the fuss was about and wanted the item that most people couldn't get or afford, I believe this has transitioned into better sales for the ps5 as more people started to be able to get hold of one. Just my thoughts though.
@PegasusActual93 Very true although I don't know about the person you're replying to but I find that most people who use that term are the first to also be angry when a movie or series comes our depicting how bad it was, I mean look at Will Smiths Emancipation. Alot of love but alot of "Not another black slave movie" like we should acknowledge it but not actually talk or see something about it. Boggles my mind.
I just don't see the need as others have pointed out. This is the first year since the ps5 where games are launching exclusively to the ps5 and not ps4 which we knew would happen but it's taken it time to leave the old gen behind. Obviously I don't want people left behind because these new gen consoles cost a bomb but I thought we would have got to the point of making games solely for ps5 alot sooner, I believe chip shortages /covid played a big role in the delay.
I feel that if they do decide to release a pro version then they need to have an amazing upgrade path like trading in your standard ps5 and you only need to pay £50-£100 to get the pro then that might work although it's still a big chunk of change it might be enough for people to go for the pro.
If they don't do that then I truly don't see a pro version selling well at all.
To be fair I would be happy just for a playstation stars app or stars to be fully integrated in the ui on the ps5, it's crazy that it can only be done through thier PS phone app. I await eagerly to see what transpires.
Thank god this all might be finally be over even if I'm not a fan of huge take overs. What this whole sorry saga has shown me though is...
1) how petty and slimy big corps can be.
2) How after all this time that console wars are still a big thing which actually makes gamers look really bad!
It's honestly been embarrassing to read what has been said by some on this site and sister sites by certain individuals and when gaming can be such a beautiful thing that can bring people together, it can also be a thing that causes anger and resentment.
Such a shame to see. I also include myself in my disappointment of being swept up in the madness.
I have to admit this one hit me hard. I've been playing HFW and I just heard his voice through the focus and then I saw the ign post and I just choked up. Just made me sad but very grateful for his work and the roles he brang to life on the screen and in games. I'll platinum HFW and give him a nod of satisfaction when I do, Silly I know but I'll do it anyway.
Really looking forward to this. Me and my brother have been waiting for this since E3 2014 and massive fans of dead Island so I can't wait to feel that familiarity.
I love the nioh games and I do like this but I actually don't think it's much better than Nioh 2. It's good but not great and that's all I can say about it really.
I'm looking forward to this. I have the woods edition of 2k and it's great but the career I found lacking and didn't take long to win the tour so I'm really hoping the career is longer on this and I really hope getting sponsorships is better and have more options.
@get2sammyb Hey Sammy. Great article and Im super hyped after reading this. Did you see any form of skill tree? Is it a typical FF level up system? I'm cool with it no matter what but I'm just curious.
I'm a huge Arkham fan and this game has hit all the wrong notes for me. To me this is Gotham knights, avengers and Anthem all rolled into one and not a good one at that. Like someone said already, RockSteady gave us The Arkham trilogy and it was great, it was gritty, dark & violent with epic exploration and awesome Easter egss and the villains were fantastic with stealth and combat being so good to play and this Is what I was really hoping would be coming with this game but nope, we get what seems to be a loud in your face, colour popping, purple mass shooting 3rd person shooter with DC skins, This is so far from what RockSteady has been known for that I think thier followers will leave in droves. I'll try this game but my hype has gone ice cold and not in a great Dr freeze way.
It's a very weird collab. I mean Ozzy probably doesn't even know what's going on and Sharon is probably going to start shouting contentious stuff down the headset.
@LeeHarveyOzgod Then as a reader you're more than welcome to not read any further and go to another site. I'm very surprised that people don't think like this.
@SJBUK Well that's the joy of making your own decisions. If you don't like what they have written then you're more than entitled to not read anymore and go somewhere else, it's very simple.
@SleepyNick As I said though I stand by Push for making thier stance clear and I stand by them for putting it out in this review due to the issue being so closely intwined, You can have a different opinion and that's fine but This is the push site so I respect thier right to type what they believe and if I had an issue with that then I would contact them directly.
Pushes statement about JK isn't a discussion, it's how they feel, that's the end of it, it's not up for debate so others getting angry over this need to chill, take a step back and realise that your view is different and that's it. If you actually want to debate the issue at hand then maybe go a find some where to have that conversation but this isn't the place. Take care all 👍🏻
Well I got my rental copy yesterday and this game is so slow at the start, the constant cut scenes that take away controls from you is too much, the dialog is so cringy and just bad. When I play this I feel like it's a mess of different games stuck to each other, you can see that this had huge potential but it needed more time to bring it all together. The exploration is cool to an extent, it can feel jarred from time to time and the combat is good but once again can feel really jarring here and there. The rpg elements feel like an old Elder scrolls game which isn't a bad thing but felt out of place in a away. Unfortunately this is a game that I've put down and luckily I didn't drop money on it so that's good.
This controller is aimed at the pros and the pros all use wired for less latency. I personally always have my controller plugged in, I just bought a longer cable to reach me. I really want this.
I'm due to get my rental copy today so I at least get to give it ago. Games that I have an interest in, I make sure to not look at gameplay etc, I make my own conclusions and if it hits, it hits. If not then oh well I'll just send it back.

Re: Poll: Will the Switch 2 Compete with PS5?
