I agree with some others, it is great getting "free content" but you do have to question whether the content was finished in the first place and they just decided to cut bits out of the game to release at a later date for good pr. But if it was made after the game releases then yeah I think that is good on them.
Loved the Bullfrog games on PS1 as a kid. I own Two Point Hospital to replace Theme Hospital. Just need someone to make a new/similar Populous game and I will be happy.
With the upcoming Watch Dogs, Assassin's Creed & Far Cry gold editions costing around £80 on PS4 alone. I think when i do get a PS5 I am going to hold off for a sale of each game. As £240 for 3 games is to much for me.
Has probably made Sony tons of money and all with no Micro-transactions, no long 100+ hour grind, and no Season Pass. Ubisoft should be taking hints with the Assassin's creed franchise going forward.
If you buy a next gen console. You would expect the first-party titles to show off the consoles capabilities the best they can. Not having to be held back.
So many developers need to learn from Hello Games. The game was by no means perfect in the beginning. But they have certainly turned it around. And best of all, it being all free as well.
So I take it this means if the Ubisoft servers go down. You will be forced to play just the main quests. Or is it like Red Dead where it is built into the game and you find random people asking for help on the road?
I liked Greedfall, it wasn't perfect. But when it is made from a small studio working on a new franchise with a smaller budget compared to other RPG makers. I think I can look the other way on some of the issues with it.
Hope so, My RDR2 bundled Pro was quiet for ages when I bought it. but recently this year In some games now it seems to go from quiet to max fan speed in one second during some scenes that usually have effects like fog/Smoke etc.
To think it has nearly been a decade since it came out. Makes me wonder what Sony could pull off now. Especially since the Switch has been out a few years now so it could possibly compare much closer to a PS4's graphics.
Maybe it's because I have a Pro now, but I booted up Mafia 3 last week (to try out the dlc's) and the amount of fan noise coming out of the PS4 was terrible. So I didn't play that long as I don't want to risk any lasting damage.
Have never been interested in Final Fantasy in the past 20 years, and I have played 100s of games in all different genres. But this one actually got me interested. And I am glad I played it. And can't wait for the next part (whenever it arrives) So congrats to Square.
And people are paying full price for the trilogy while having no idea how the 1st game is going to look & run. There is no game play for it so that should be a big of enough concern.
And to think, that Graphics usually get better into the console generation through optimisation. So PS5 could after a couple of years look even better than this.
Perhaps PS5 in the future will use the PS1 games already on the store for PS3 & Vita. And they thought it wouldn't hurt releasing them now for extra revenue?
Was playing Greedfall the other day and for some reason one of the NPC's causes the game to spike whenever they start talking. Made me slightly jump as the fans run silent throughout. And then all of a sudden without warning "Woosh" it kicks in full power almost instantly. And then dies back down. Almost thought it was going to blow up.
I hope this doesn't mean the end for Media Molecule somewhere down the line. Sony have been closing their UK studios over the last couple of years. And with their previous game "Tearaway" not selling well either (Not entirely their fault) but still. Worse case scenario they would close them down and keep the servers running. And let it be similar to LBP3
Technically, there is the communities section on PS4 or via app that still will work. And serves a similar purpose. Although I kind of think Sony abandoned that a while ago as well.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Madden 21 Breaches Top 10 in Slow Week for PS4
Nooo, must stop GTA
Re: PS5 Won't Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games
Surely it must be easy for them to do though, the PS3, PSP & Vita could run them. And they already have them stored on the PS Store.
Re: Project CARS 3 - A Somewhat Fun Arcade Racer Going Through an Identity Crisis
Shouldn't of sold to Codemasters.

Re: There's Been a Big Scandal About Whether PS5 Can Run Games in 4K
I still play with 1080p so a option for FHD users to get 60fps would be awesome.
Re: A Bunch More PS5 Box Art Has Emerged
Aha, asked the developers of Planet Coaster if they are releasing a PS5 physical version to no response. So this confirms it for me.
Re: Name the PS4 Game Using These Screenshots
6, I don't play many first person shooters or Japanese titles so didn't do to well.

Re: Everyone's Talking About PS5's Price Again
Would rather have 1080p or 1440p with 60fps tbh

Re: Red Dead Online's Latest Update Has Broken the Game
Probably done it so people abandon the game and switch over to GTA Online instead.
Re: Can You Name These PS3 Exclusives?
17 out of 20
Would of been 19 if there wasn't 2 choices for Killzone & Socom games.
1 or 2 of the Japanese games I just got lucky
Re: No, the PS5 DualSense Controller Doesn't Have Buttons on the Back
Does Push Square need to spam post after post on Twitter. It's bad enough during a normal day.
Re: PS5 Dualsense Controller Is a Little Bigger, a Little Heavier Than the DualShock 4
Hopefully bigger to put in a bigger battery.

Re: Red Dead Online Fans Demonstrate Their Disappointment by Dressing as Clowns
Wait til they add a casino somewhere in the game. Then they will focus on it.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Has World Events Rather Than Side Quests
So I take it this means if the Ubisoft servers go down. You will be forced to play just the main quests.
Or is it like Red Dead where it is built into the game and you find random people asking for help on the road?
Re: inFAMOUS Domain Name Renewal Sparks PS5 Revival Hopes
Hope so, there isn't really anything similar that comes to mind. Back in the PS3 days it would of been Prototype but that series has vanished to.
Re: Steelrising Is a PS5 RPG From GreedFall Developer Spiders Studio
@LiamCroft Don't see the harm asking. Their previous game you could create your own Male/Female character.

Re: Mafia II: Definitive Edition Is Not the Remaster Many Were Hoping For on PS4
And people are paying full price for the trilogy while having no idea how the 1st game is going to look & run.
There is no game play for it so that should be a big of enough concern.
Re: Mafia III Story DLC Is Now Free for Everyone
Got the other 2 dlc's but "faster,baby" is listed at £11.99 still as well. which is odd.
Re: Mafia: Trilogy Debuts Definitive Edition Trailers for All Three Games
No one knows how good the remastered 1st game is yet other than the short trailer. Could have terrible fps for all we know without actual gameplay.
Re: Mafia: Trilogy Debuts Definitive Edition Trailers for All Three Games
But where is the retail release?
Re: Here's Your First Look at Mafia II: Definitive Edition on PS4
Is there a retail release for any of this though?
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Map Size Is a Bit Larger Than Odyssey's, Says Ubisoft Dev
Before long it will end up like a Just Cause sized map. With the same pointless stuff to do inside of them.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Map Size Is a Bit Larger Than Odyssey's, Says Ubisoft Dev
I can only hope not.
Re: PS5 Unreal Engine 5 Gameplay Demo Finally Shows Us What Next-Gen Games Look Like

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla DLC Mission Will Feature the Famous Beowulf Legend
Or how about you just put it in the game people pay £50 for
Re: The Elder Scrolls 6 News and Details Are Still Years Away
Look out for the extra remastered version of Skyrim on PS5
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Won't Be the Longest or Biggest Game in the Series, Says Ubisoft Dev
Good, the series was turning into a Just Cause game. Massive map with the same locations over and over.
Quality over quantity.
Re: Classic Grand Theft Auto Games Rated for Release on, Er, PS3
Perhaps PS5 in the future will use the PS1 games already on the store for PS3 & Vita. And they thought it wouldn't hurt releasing them now for extra revenue?
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs Legion Both Reportedly Due for Late 2020 on PS5
Seems a bit stupid to be putting two open world games made by the same company out at the same time.
Re: Soapbox: I Want Better Levels on PS5, Not Bigger Worlds
Like Assassins Creed Odyssey, big map but 100's of the same fort/camps
Re: Is Classic Far Cry 3 Villain Vaas Teasing His Return?
From my memory Didn't he open his eyes once you "killed him" So I guess it's possible.
Re: Rumour: Days Gone Could Be Riding Onto PC, According to Amazon France
If true I will just move to PC after PS4's times up. Since I tend to wait for sales of new games anyway. And it wont hurt waiting a little longer.
Re: Random: Jet Engine PS4 Fan Noise Goes Viral in Social Media Mocking

Re: Rumour: God of War PC Port Speculation Fuelled by Missing Label
If true I will just switch to PC to play games from PS & Xbox under one system.
And then possibly buy a Switch for the portable experience.
