Put an hour in so far, not a single issue.. loving it.

The deluxe edition will come with a pack of coffin nails... Sad times for bungie.

I picked up starwars, admittedly, a few weeks and patches after launch, but what a thoroughly enjoyable game it was, even went as far as 100% and platinuming the game, it deserves a sort of re-review or re-release thrown it's way, I enjoyed it far more than jedi survivor.

The Crew Motor fest seems to be the DFS of the gaming world, is it never not on offer?

Callisto is a pretty tasty deal though might finally pull the trigger on that.
For spoken was lovely too, a really solidly enjoyable game

@Alps_Stranger picked it up a couple of weeks back too, damn it...

Nothing else for me this month. Oh well

Nothing that makes me want to get excited this month, had I not platinumed Jedi Survivor, I'd definitely be a lot more excited, great game (probably even better given all the patches since launch) and well worth a play through though.

"We're planning to bring these themes back when we've worked out how to monetise them"

Annoyingly they still haven't sorted out the colour banding on HDR modes especially on tatooine! Drop HDR mode off though, and it's much better.
Really have been thoroughly enjoying the game for the last 3 weeks

They do look pretty.

But a paper clip? It comes with a 30th anniversary paper clip, that thing that playstation is best known for, the paper clip. Is it a remastered paper clip?

Motorfest and cat quest 3 for me then! Sweet. Really enjoyed the first 2 cat quest games, nice little adventure, relaxing game play, makes a nice change of pace from my Wukong induced anger session of recent days 🤣

What is also super annoying is I can go to the post office and give them £550 and get £700 dollars, so why am I paying slightly over $900 for the same thing?

All of them, surely it should be all of them getting a boost, even if just to frame rates and load times.

Wow.. 699 and to show it off they did some engine running footage from some of the best games of the last gen.. really I did expect something more, not going to lie, was geared up for getting one, but purely based on that, I'll save the cash!

It's a bit much having it on the big screen for me, this is the perfect way to show off the portal (or steam deck using remote play) gameplay loop is as painfully addictive as it is on the switch.

But is it going to be 104GB of clunky frame rates and random crashes?

I'd be a lot happier had I not picked up a copy of the Skywalker saga a couple of weeks ago...

I bet motorstorm is still £49.99 though... 🤣

They've been spitting on the spirit of FFVII for years.

A sequel to Fenyx Immortals Rising... now that's a hype train I can easily get a ticket for.

@lolwhatno oh, I see.
I dont believe the difficulty changes the times on the license tests, just the AI in races.
The test times were always a rock solid stumbling block for me, I have passed all the tests up to at least a silver on all, but getting all golds is beyond my hand eye abilities.

As for races and tournaments, I've gotten gold in all of those, some.did take a couple of attempts, especially the rain sections of races!

@zupertramp yep, I'm annoyed at quite a few things in the game as it is at present, but I will say..

It looks and sounds incredible, what races are there are good fun, the cars are stunning! Each one feels like it is a completely different car, the weather system is impressive and makes you really try really hard to keep the car on the road!

In 8 months to a year I think itll be something very special indeed and I will 100% be buying it again when it's there, even in the first update, to add 64 music tracks is pretty incredible, the amount of new cars, tracks and extra content they added to GT sport over the years has been massively impressive.

@lolwhatno there are 3 difficulty settings (using a chilli pepper system for some reason that I've not fully worked out) which alters the AI of other racers, even on the highest difficulty, you can set up and tweak your car enough to be able to confidently beat 90% of the races without too much issue. Rolling starts also got rid of the cheese exploit of starting with a car that destroys everything off the grid like that standing starts of early games in the series.
The missions were pretty hardcore in the later stages too, but not much to cause multiple replays of them, I guess, again, if you're going to get gold medals in all of them, that would give you some serious replay/grind time.

I was so looking forward to this game, and for about 15 hours I loved it, never felt like I was short of credits, got the cars I wanted, upgraded ETC ETC, but then that was it. Done.. the cafe menu things ran out, I got gold in all the license tests for the first 2 licenses (I'm not good enough/prepared to get good enoigh to gold the others, never will be!)
But then it's either online races or repeat the same few cups as before, the campaign was over and done with so quickly!
No endurance races, only a handful of tournaments and no real incentive to carry on the grind. I've sold it on and will probably pick up a cheap copy in a couple of years when, hopefully, there will be the content worthy of a £70 game.

Not a fan of micro transactions, but equally won't be using the option, just have to smash Sunday cup for 2 hours like the old days.
What is annoying though, is you cant sell your cars for credits like in previous installments, which is a bit rubbish.

Looks amazing even when it appears to have streamed using 2 tin cans and a length of string! Will watch it again when the put out the full quality video, but I can see me losing a lot of my life to this..

1 ticket for the hype train please..

Genuinely cant wait to see what they have done regarding cars, tracks, licenses, endurance races, rally spec.

£64.99 though......
Going to have to wait for mine to break to justify that level of spending as I have no real reason for a second controller (other than I want one!)

@nessisonett I SAID, YOU BUY ONE, YOU GET ONE FREE..

@nessisonett mundane yes, but the ole hype train is leaving the station with my money on it as I type.. little bits like this make my day!

SSX Reboot
Just Cause 5 or 2 remake
GT7
GoW
Ffxvi

Something about the future of PS+/NOW/Crunchroll combination

Any of that would make me very happy.
Also, I'd like more info of Kena bridge of spirits.

@RudeAnimat0r virtua tennis 2 on dreamcast was absolutely the nuts! The mini games were incredible!

@LieutenantFatman Gpolice bundled with Futercops LAPD. I'd throw £70 at that all day long!

@Pusher2021 yeah, been reading a few reviews and youtubing it, seems like something I'll enjoy

@InsertUsername well, from my point of view it is, but I guess that's the beauty of opinions

The zombie game looks pretty good, its completely passed me by, so I'll deffo be giving that a bash.
But days gone? A game you already get on Psnow and PS5 game collection is a poor effort from Sony to be fair.

I'd like to see just cause 2 remade, along side final fantasy 8

Excited for Kena.

FFVII Remake getting DLC rather than a full installment... where theres a shock that no one expected......... oh wait.

@mikeym if only!
I'm sure there will be something from team GT though.

@MarcurShaw @get2sammyb

Dream scenario, they come out with a £349 full system, mic drop, then pure silence for 2 weeks across all social media.
Boom! (I can dream)

I imagine that they are having meetings to see how they can undercut Microsoft on price, get the product to market first and announce their full release line up with a suitably flashy live stream.

Or as @Athrum said, they are panicking about how they can put spin on a massively overpriced bit of kit (remember PS3 launch?)

Got my code! Sweeeeeet

Does it at least make you feel good? That's all I really care about.

Gutted, I got a subscription to PSNOW in June and played the tombraider game, but it's a very good game and well worth playing through,

I'll give NBA a go, but I cant imagine it beats NBA jam.....
Good selection of games this month

@jdv95 having played the most recent 2 for the first time this lock down, I'd very much like that too!
A FFVIIR part 2 tease is possible, probably announce the ps5 port of it too

Bust!

I'm actually annoyed I stayed up for it.
The squadrons footage and semi breakdown was nice.
Heres Skate news you've all been waiting for, but we have nothing to show you. The rest just didn't feel like they really had anything to say. Just seems to be the usual spit, polish and rerelease.

Its square so I imagine Coming 2027.....

@Cloud39472 you know it's coming!!
I'm expecting an updated RDR2 as well.

@eshy76 hopefully itll be preceded by the phrase "dont worry, there isn't a new" 😂

@playstation_king was thinking exactly the same.
Not played BF2 though, so I'll give it a go.

I honestly hadn't been at all fussed about this title, I'd assumed it would be another souls clone (nothing wrong with that, just not my choice of game)
But having watched the state of play, then watching it again to show the wife (whilst dropping massive hints about getting it for me) I cannot wait!
I'm expecting it to be a good 30 hour story quest, with probably the same in side missions/exploration.
