Why is anyone paying for this magazine in paper format. If you visit your local library and ask them about press reader (digital app) you can use you library number to get this and 100's of other magazines for free every month including newspapers as well.
Most games given away with PS Plus have been heavly discounted at some stage. Like others have said Titanfall 2 has an amazing campaign and by all accounts decent online play as well. What do gamers really expect when your paying about £4 a month for PS Plus?
Only 1% of current PC owners will be able to play this game. Not all of those who can play it will buy it. Will it sell VR? Probably not as there are not enough titles out there to make it a must buy.
VR is not in a great place right now. Less than 5% take up on the sony system. Its not being adpoted by enough people therefore the games companies are not putting more resources into creating games. Without the games systems will not sell.
None of my top 10 games include VR titles and I own 2 different VR systems. I always dreamed of VR being great and it can be with selective experiences but we are years away from that moment. Whether the technology will be given enough time is yet to be answered.
The player counts in Fortnite maybe higher but when you get a lot of players together performance really suffers thats why certain modes were reduced from 100 player count to 20 vs 20. Also the detail and size of a player is very different from a car
PS Now is totally different service. Stadia offers gaming on the go and on multiple devices also no need for an expensive console and no downloads. It offers 60 fps which PS4 has constantly struggled with. PS4 did not launch with many more games than what Stadia will.
Xbox are doing all the right things at the moment. The pass is amazing value not just for first party games but look at all the other games that come onto it day one. You never get any newly released games on PS Now
The huge advantage Stadia has over any of the next gen consoles is that it can upgrade its system at any stage with no cost to the consumer There is no buying of expensive hardware either.
I agree there gamers on console are unwilling to embrace change. Look at how people feel about all digital consoles. People need to be more forward thinking and stop living in the past.
Look at Amazon and Ebay there are items sold which far exceed the normal price its a way to launder money. Sony should be on top of this and take down the avatar
If they do remaster them I want them to stay faithfull to the combat and style across the 3 different games. I do not want the first game changed to fit in with the other 2 games.
Might as well buy it on a system that will show it off to its full potential which is the PS5. They should just do what they did with the Last Guardian keep saying it will release on PS4 then just launch it later on PS5
I have been burnt too many times this year with games performing badly on the PS4 will be waiting for releases on PS5 now. So these delays are not an issue
Private servers are expensive to rent look at other games on PS4 that allow it. This is cheap in comparison. Whether you like the game or not the actual cost is a lot less than other games.
If you break it down and split the cost between 8 people the cost of a private server for a whole year is £12.50 each. For a server with no other annoying people
" ReadySet Heroes is a fast-paced multiplayer dungeon crawler that packs a big twist! Choose your character, then launch into a randomly generated dungeons to slay monsters, dodge traps and collect tons of loot. Now here's the twist: You're actually competing against an opposing team racing through the same dungeon! Reaching the end of the dungeon triggers a winner-take-all arena brawl! The faster you progress through the dungeon, the more powerful you'll be when it's time to throw down" This is the first quote from the developers own website yet you can not even play online, great job Robot Entertainment.
I think giving this game 4 is being extermly generous. I would have given it a 2. An online game that never lets you play online. A total waste of money. I can not emphasise enough avoid this game like the plague. The whole feel of the game also feels like free to play.
It is broken. I have owned the game since day one I have only managed to play online using match making twice. I have tried at all times of day with the same result.
There is nothing thats been revealed that has made me say wow. Lots of features that would have been expected in a new console are there. Until the actual specs are revelaved and see how well the SSD performs along with download times I will reserve judgement.
Steel series, I paid £190 when they were on sale they are usually £250. They are not wireless. I wanted the Dac so could not go wireless. Its the Dac that bumps up the price. They do wireless headphones though I would reccomend the brand well made and very comfortable.

Re: PS Now Competitor Google Stadia Nearly Doubles Its Launch Line-Up of Old Games
@tomassi
The monthly fee is optional. If you decide to subscribe then you get better specs on the game you play and a new free game every month.
If you want to use the service when it fully launches next year then you do not have to pay anything apart from buying the games you want to play.
Right now you need to buy a controller to access the service. But on full launch you will be able to use any controller you want.
Re: PS Now Competitor Google Stadia Nearly Doubles Its Launch Line-Up of Old Games
It will open gaming up to a lot more people not just the ones who can afford to drop £200-£350 on a console or £1000+ on a gaming rig.
