This game is not for me as hero shooters are not my thing but
I feel bad for the entire development team. What was it? 8 years in development (probably a few of them coming up with the main concept) and this is the response they get.
When I checked the numbers this morning, it was less than 100!

Doesn't bother me too much as for some reason I am only paying £64.99 a year for Premium

@SoulChimera some are GotY contenders 😂

@breakneck I think it is a lot more noticeable in the PSN sales because of the trophy games which have separate releases for PS4 and PS5. I am quite thankful for the Wishlist feature

I had a quick look through this on Ps Prices and I did not realise how much shovel wear there is on the platform now

If you have missed out on Midnight Suns, I would say do not try to rush through it. It goes on sale very often.

Never saw the hype of The Witcher 3. Tried it multiple times and it never clicked.

I have just finished up Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and I really likes the way that game handled guiding a user.

An urban RPG? Now that is a genre I cannot said I have heard of before.
I've only heard of Genshin Impact and from what I understand, it can suck you in if you are not careful. I don't think I will be trying it after reading your review. The one thing I have trouble dealing with in f2p games is just the amount of systems/currency to learn

I must have been living under a rock, but what is Zenless Zone Zero?

I'm not playing it because I just don't like hero shooters. Could never really get into them.

What sort of game is Remnant II?

@Voltan yes, the early access for Plus members. Was reading the blog and it said ‘ Just look for the option to download and play the beta when you boot up your PS5.’ That’s what I was looking for on my PS5 😂

But after another re read of the post, I assume it will be 10am PDT along with the pre order folks 😀

Am I being blind but where is the pre load for the open beta?

Never played Jeanne D'arc when it first came out. Time to try it lol

@riceNpea I agree, revealing it before Chistmas/Holidays with a future (2025) release day would destroy any console sales, as some may wait.

If my memory serves me well... I remember that Sony use to do full announce hardware release dates during Gamescom. I certainly remember the PS3 Slim getting a price and date. And that came out the same year, just in time for the holidays.

It may sound silly, but imagine if Sony are holding out to find out when the Switch 2 comes out. As I am sure that would kill everything in it's path 😂

I am glad to see Sony back at the TGS and will be interested to see what they bring, because in the past this is where they usually show off their more "quirky" games from Studios long gone...

@tweaknmod don’t all Ubi games since AC Valhalla support their own cloud saving now? I know I have seen my PS5 save when I load the game up on Xbox

Never played the original and the price is very reasonable. I have plenty to play atm though, so onto the wish list this goes!

If they were updating it, fine. But don't do it during an event in which has Star challenges and items!
It is like a betting site doing upgrades during the Euros! 😂

Tempted by Hades at £9.99

I was really against the Portal when it was announced but I ended up picking one up.
And I love it! I am playing games a lot more now! Good to see it getting updates.

Not sure it is a mistake on Sony's end, but LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy is currently only for the PS5

Cannot really complain as my latest 12 months of Premium only cost £65. As long as one games takes my interest, I am winning

They really need to start spreading out franchise releases...
3 LEGO games in one drop.
Happy for Daxter!

Nah. I was not even aware it was this week! 😂
Gone are my days for getting excited for these things.

@doughnutsfan actually… yes 😂
I’ve not been fully following any gaming news for quite a while and this was the first bit of media I paid 100% attention to. I’m slowly catching up. (Like I found out a few days ago there is a new Star Wars and Assassin Creed game coming out this year!)
Up until that SoP, I had no idea Concord existed let alone what sort of game it was 😂

I was invested during the cutscene at the start. Looked like it was going to be a fun space adventure game...
then they said 5v5 FPS

Astrobots New Game
Marvel Rivals Console Port Announcement
God of War Ragnarok PC port
A new Five Nights At Freddys
A new Dynasty Warrior
Alien Rogue Incursion
Path of Exile 2
Monster Hunter Wilds
Silent Hill 2 Remake
Phantom Blade Zero
A new game from the middle east
A new VR game
Until Dawn PC & PS5

Nothing of interest for me there. Not a great month really.
For those who want to play RDR2, I would start right away as Rockstar games only seem to be on the service for a few months at a time.

I honestly have no idea what happened in the end. Prior to be completing the game, I saw posts saying saying the ending was amazing... and I felt it was just meh

The only reason I have re subbed to Premium for the next 12 months is because it was £65. No idea why... 🤷‍♂️

@TheAmbienWalrus it’s a strange one because if the PSN account is needed, they sold it to countries that don’t have access.
That is what I found the oddest thing about it all tbh (especially when they pulled it from those country stores!)
Insanity!

I don’t use steam so I was just looking on Reddit so I may not be 100% correct but I did just see some one post a screen shot of the PS Direct shop saying you don’t need a PSN account (21 hrs ago)

@Flaming_Kaiser when I was going through Reddit the past few days, some one put the details page through the way back machine and found that it was an optional requirement

@TheAmbienWalrus nope. They changed the product page when they announced it

Edit: I am using what I saw on Reddit for this. I may be wrong 😑

This would have been a whole different story if they said up front you needed a PSN account. I feel the new PSN PC Experience was not quite ready at the time HD2 launched and they just though 'we will bolt it in later', with a single employee in the corner quietly questioning those countries that don't have PSN access lol

I am wondering if because you claimed the base game from Plus and then purchased the DLCs, the store grouped them, thinking you owned the GotY. Now this update has been pushed, the store saw the mistake, and broke the bundle apart

Sifu saves the month!

No one is safe it seems.
I feel it was a mistake shutting some of the smaller studios down as they were great at releasing games in between the big AAA titles.
Obviously the Live Services would have taken their places but a lot of them have now been cancelled.
Now we are left with each AAA needing the same budget as a Hollywood movie and a dev time of at least 5 years. The bubble has to burst at some point.

I have been on the fence to get Sifu for so long now!

I would have called it ‘1000G’ 😂

Ah man… was thinking of picking this up today!

I have tried to play Outer Wilds three times now and it never clicked. Each time I thought... "this is the time I get it", but never happened.

@Savage_Joe agree! They have 10 years (was that the deal?), great older IPs and studios that could create something pretty special.

At the moment there is nothing that really excites me about this one. Will be something I probably pick up late into the year

@Cherip-the-Ripper np. Just remembered seeing something on reddit this morning.

@Cherip-the-Ripper I think select accounts have discounts starting today

@Impossibilium very interesting indeed

@dschons yeah, that is why I dislike the genre and lack of patience does not help.
Like I really love the world in Lies of P and really want to play it, but it is just too difficult.

Cannot say I have ever heard of Steelrising but also just learnt it is soulslike. Not for me

Arcade Racing Game?! Sign me up!
What I would love is for some one to re release Burnout CRASH! Such a cool arcade game
