@BraveLilCrumpet hey. You have to go into settings and pick the following -

system -> system software -> system software update and settings -> system update (beta).

That will set the install off and you will be good to go.

@Danloaded FATHEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!

@TheArt should be free if you already own it digitally, £15 if you dont. Game is two gens old and will look, control and play like a two gen old game.

Rockstar have taken a massive u turn up their own backsides these last few years. All while riding a wave of MT's and online paywalls.

Needs a sale price on that for me to bite. A BIG sale price at that.

Now if they said you get it free if you already own it digitally l, that would have made the price taste a little less bitter.

@Hoodie718 I have read that even though it says room scale, due to the fact you warp to points rather than walk around, you can play the whole thing pretty much seated

Id rather let MS have call of duty and make them share all the other IP's if im honest.

I would have loved a psvr2 update, especially as its now hitting plus. Such a missed opportunity but, at the end of it all, they need to make money off it to sustain it. They havent so cant and its hard to hold that against them.

@TheDudeElDuderino look, if you want a toe, i can get you a toe. Hell, i can get you a toe by lunchtime. My buddies in Nam died face down in the dirt!

I think its just fine at the minute but obviously as tech moves, it will improve.

Dont be a niahlist.

@TheDudeElDuderino wouldnt really call PSVR2 a drag to start and be playing. Literally plug one wire and youre off. Now if it had more games, that would be the treat.

I really enjoyed the first one. The first ubi game i played all the way through in a long time. Sad news for me if true

@Northern_munkey ik+ consumed hours of my life.

Do they still have the pasty man in Derby? I remember rushing out of a work thing as i heard an ice cream van playing its jingle. Looked at the menu and it was just pasties and pies 😂

Im guessing we dont have details about what the early access entails?

Im actually fine with is as long as they dont announce them at the beginning of the dev cycle. 12 months in advance is plenty notice.

Good lord. Day one for me this. Why on earth was this stuff not in the showcase!

@NEStalgia NMS on VR2 is something to behold. Wonderful stuff. Although Walkabout golf is eating my life at the minute.

Sold. Sony need a straight up VR state of play to show some new titles.

Saying a game thats been remade multiple times is on sale for 51 quid is just rubbish to be honest.

Didnt they already do this with the showcase

Here at Sony, we like to innovate. So weve made the Nintendo switch.

Max payne in there as well

@Cashews eh? Not sure how you reached that conclusion they are expanding their markets. Xbox are literally doing the same thing in the same areas.

It appears this article is getting some serious traction on twitter due to the word niggles. I just assumed it was something everyone used.

@Th3solution i posted this elsewhere but will just copy it here. All credit @themightyant for the logic in it

Microsoft argued that sony own 60 to 70 percent of the console market so wouldnt be affected. In essence saying MS would not be disspraportinate in that market and are unlikely to impact it with this deal. The CMA agreed.

The catch being MS own 60-70% of the cloud gaming market. So by their own logic, it wouldnt be beneficial to upcoming companies to allow them to further that share.

Cloud streaming is still in a fledgling stage. By allowing MS to own such a large amount of massive IP's it effectively hindered any smaller companies even having a chance. While MS offered 10 years parity, its likely that cloud gaming will take a little longer to fully be in a position it needs to be 'the norm'. At that point MS already own all the cards.

Like you say, games will be made available to all. But only guaranteed for 10 years and after that they will only be available to all through Microsoft. Thats the sticking point.

Playing through this at the mo. It doesnt revolutionise the genre but it is thoroughly enjoyable. The world itself is a wonderful thing to explore.

@Rob_230 i was always dubious if id need one or if it was worth the faff installing it. Picked up a WD black 1tb one last year and, honestly, with me and my kids using the PS5 its been one of the best purchases ive made. It was ridiculously straightforward to put in and so easy to manage in the storage settings. Combined with a usb drive for ps4 games, i would highly recommend it.

@man-the-king hey man. Added you and dropped an invite over to you on discord

Rahul is a class actor and comes across as a decent bloke. Glad to see him pop up anywhere. As ant says, midnight mass is very much worth the watch if you havent seen it. He's brilliant in iZombie as well if you want to go further back.

Loses points for being a liverpool fan but everyone has flaws i suppose.

@man-the-king hey man! You seem to have disappeared from EG. Hope you are good. If you have discord search for me (weebleman#9372). Myself, rice, darkside and others have a group set up on there. Find me on there and i will invite you in mate.

@Mad001 you leave sexy julian out of this randy

This whole buyout of big established brands is becoming rather tiresome. Invest in smaller companies and grow them. This new trend puts gamers at a loss all round.

Im gonna have another go at this now its on plus. I tried it before and it massively rubbed off wrong on me. Will see if i get a better feel for it this time.

@KundaliniRising333 you do realise this list is just the authors personal favourites, dont you?

Because that feels like a lot of words to tell someone he cant have his own opinion on what he enjoyed.

I started the callisto protocol once the kids passed out on Christmas day. Gotta say, its one hell of a good looking game. Enjoying it so far.

@Truegamer79 definitely in a far better state these days on the current gen. Go with performance mode in my opinion. If you can get a cheap ps4 copy you get the upgraded version for free.

There is a loooooot of chuff in that sale. A lot of chuff indeed.

Ascent for 20 quid is worth a punt. Resi village for 18ish and last of us 2 for 8 quid odd is a bargain if you havent got round to it.

Not sure my comment was disrespecting others but fair play if it was deemed as such. Either way im looking forward to seeing what amazon produce on this

I get why they are opting for 2018 kratos but for me it should start at the beginning. The whole reason kratos struggles with his son is due to the events of those games and they explain why he is that way. More importantly they explain why somoeone comes knocking in the 2018 one.

I love the new games but i do miss the bombastic, zero sh*ts given approach of the old kratos just murdering gods, monsters and all in between.

And for me its mamoa or, and this is a wild card option, triple H for the role.

They are stunning. Well done all and will definitely follow the forum for screenshot. Lovely stuff

I really liked Days Gone. I mean, its not gonna change the world but it has an 80's action movie feel to it that really struck a chord for me. Once you view it that way, its just a joy. The world itself was also something i could happily explore and get lost in.

Admittedly though, this chap comes across as a bit of a d*ckhead to say the least.

@ThorsHammer cheers. Its getting to the bugger thats the problem 😂

Im on the final biome of returnal and im determined to get it finished before wednesday. My god its kicking my arse though.

@Deoxyr1bose hes videoing it on his phone from a youtube video on his laptop.

Really pleased to see free upgrades coming along. Surely others like beatsaber must be in the pipeline. Also stuff like ghost giant and the wonderful Moss would be most welcome.

@ShogunRok which graphic mode did you opt for?

Also, nice review man. Looking forward to this one.

Quality, HFR and VRR for me all the way.

@dds292 you signed up just to share that insightful nugget?

I'll be getting one but likely not at launch. Purely because i havent bough a single christmas present yet and i have 3 kids. If i drop £530 before even attempting to sort christmas my better half will kill me in my sleep.

@carlos82 im with you here. I was hoping for a full on dino game. Cell shading is fine but i was hoping for more of a realistic approach.
