@hypnotoad No Focus RS, just the standard?

Test Drive, man that’s some nostalgic throwback. I didn’t know they still made this series and I got to say, I’m intrigued. I can’t wait to see gameplay and read reviews to see how the cars feel. I don’t know about “life simulator” though as I’m unfamiliar with the Unlimited series.

In fact I haven’t played a Test Drive game since Test Drive 5 (PS1, 1998), it was an awesome standout racer for the time. I grew up playing Test Drive II: The Duel (Amstrad, 1989) which was very rough but somewhat impressive in a way for the time.

I tried Enter the Gungeon but I couldn’t get past the first room. The game reset everytime I went through the door. I looked at YouTube walkthroughs and their first room was different from mine. Weird. Time to play HZD instead.

@Flaming_Kaiser “ People want more but dont want to pay its that easy and some cant thats a thing to.”

This is very true about everything. I have to deal with that constantly in my industry as well. It’s no excuse for the director getting saucy at the game’s target audience.

Personally I enjoyed Days Gone on PS5 but if I had bought it at full price on PS4 then I likely would’ve been frustrated by the game’s many problems pre-patch. And the thing is, it may no longer be full price by the time it’s fully patched up.

Sony should be the target of his frustration, not a portion of the gamers. It’s not like they bootlegged it, some people show more support than others which is another universal fact just like people demanding more for less. Welcome to normal life, director.

@RaZieLDaNtE I’m playing Ultimate on PS5. It’s the only game where I choose ray-tracing over FPS. I just beat it today and plan on finding as many of those secrets as I can before Returnal launches. Have a good one my friend.

@zekepliskin Excellent video, thanks

@zekepliskin Yeah this is my first playthrough. Thanks for the tips! I’m still at the beginning, the Griffin’s killed me a couple times but I didn’t do any side quests. So I just have the beginning equipment. I’ll do some side quests first and keep an eye out for equipment upgrades before I give the Griffon another shot.

@RaZieLDaNtE I was getting the same vibe. To the point that, I need to finish my first playthrough of Control before buying Returnal. But I’m at the end (given what’s happening it must be) so I’m on time!

Ohh spicy 🌶 🌶 🌶

Would I buy a Days Gone 2 at full price? No, I’d wait for the general population to QA test it first. Especially given how messy the first was when it was new (at full price).

Ratchet & Clank on PS5 with the 60fps update.

I think I’m close to the end of Final Fantasy 7 Remake and also Control.

I played the RE Village demo for 30 mins last night. Such a tease!

I’ve also just begun Witcher 3 and will start Nier Automata once I finish FF7 Remake.

I’m drowning in amazing first playthroughs over here 👍

Combat advice: always be movin!

I don’t understand the shortage of DualSense charging stations. I’ve been checking a handful of places a couple times per week since November. I’ve only seen them on Amazon and eBay marked up $$.

I read some PS5 update articles and I don’t recall reading anything about this. In fact I was playing FF7 Remake on PS5 today and the DualSense rumbled during an explosion. It took me by surprise a bit... great update!

@Archius9 on PS4 it’ll be 900P and 45fps, sounds like they wanted to strike a good balance. There’s some gameplay footage on YouTube.

Come on Sony, do it. Put all those Walkman profits to good use and make them an offer they can’t refuse.

In all seriousness, Sony needs good Japanese Dev talent but I’d rather SE stay independent. And the idea of Microsoft buying SE is like nightmare fuel to me.

@somnambulance I fully agree. The story looks like a mind-bender. Hopefully it has enough focus on story to immerse us in the world 👍

I’m really feeling this game but told myself it’ll wait b/c RE Village is on the way. But now I’m getting more hyped about Returnal.

Like others said, I really hope it’s not like Dark Souls in space (it’s be more like Bloodborne from the looks of the fast action). It will definitely be fast but I want it to be more fun than serious difficulty. Hopefully it’ll be more arcade-y which seems to be Housemarque’s shtick 👍

I never heard of Accolades. I don’t play online outside of matchmaking because I don’t have any PSN friends :/

I don’t even know how you’re supposed to make PSN friends. But whenever I randomly meet someone online in DMC5 I always give them a S Rank.

Being able to store PS5 games on the ext SSD. I just bought a Samsung T5 SSD for the PS5 but maybe I should’ve got a T7 instead?

I’ve seen so many articles that are turning this story into a fire fest. It’s nice to see someone writing about it from a logical view. Thanks

@OmegaStriver his name being Deacon and calling his wife “old lady” are odd things to complain about in a game. I’ve known bikers that call their wife “old lady” so it seemed very authentic to me. He had his “colors” on at all times, he walked the part, talked the part.

Personally I dug Days Gone and enjoy zombie games but am ok with it not having a sequel. Not a big fan of TLoU’s gameplay, maybe I’ll like the remake but I’ve yet to play a Naughty Dog game to completion b/c their gameplay is always so bad imo.

I’m happy to see this article. Previously I only saw Steam mentioned for the new DLC + update.

As an old school Genesis-owner SoR fan, I was all over SoR4. It retains its appeal and replay value like the other SoR entries. This game is a beat em up masterpiece. Having said that... I want Roo!

The problem I have with this, even as a free game, is the same problem I had with Resistance. It’s garage and its resources could’ve gone into the main game. In RE3’s case, it needed it bc it potentially could’ve been fantastic with more content.

If Capcom wants a successful co-op RE, scroll to the posts above which is what people want.

@Medic_Alert True story. Sony is going with critical reception and sales. While sales pays the bills, it’s not reflective of a franchise headed in a good direction.

Look at RE6 which sold like gangbusters but Capcom knew they had a problem and had to go back to the drawing board. Would a massive corporation like Sony be able to do the same? Doubtful. It’d end badly with lots of studio closures and layoffs.

That’s a shame. I don’t like the gameplay of Naughty Dog games and while they have stories that draw me in, it’s not enough to make me stick with Uncharted or TLoU’s gameplay. I’m in the minority that liked Days Gone more than anything Naughty Dog has done b/c while its gameplay wasn’t flawless, it was enjoyable.

@redd214 you get the boost if it’s on an external drive too. I recently attached a Samsung T5 to my PS5 and moved all my PS4 games to it. I couldn’t tell any difference.

@Excess same here and I’m loving FF7R so it’s all good. BTW I love your avatar, def looking forward to Stray!

I already have Days Gone and don’t care for the other 2. Days Gone is a good game though so I’m glad more people get to experience it.

@LiamCroft thanks for this fantastic article from a fellow RE fan 👍

Joss Herraez’ story was my favorite because it was so relatable. I kept nodding my head while reading it.

The original Resi 1 is my favorite. I remember playing it on my Saturn and the infamous “zombie dog jumps through the window” scene happened. It’s the first time a video game made me jump and it left a lasting impression. As everyone here knows, the atmosphere of the entire game was phenomenal. I’ve been hooked since and have been very happy about RE’s return to form in recent years.

@zekepliskin “a balanced diet of gaming” lol I like it. You made some good points

PS4: FF7 remake (love it!) and I just started Monster Hunter World and am trying to take it little by little cuz man is it overwhelming outside of the battles.

PS5: Devil May Cry 5 SE and Control. Having a lot of fun with DMC and am really sucked into Control.

@Shepherd_Tallon Same here, thoroughly enjoying my playthrough of Control and will switch to Returnal once I’m done with Control. I’ve put a lot of time into it so far but I think I’m only around 1/4 of the way through.

I wish I could play Astro Bot Rescue Mission but I have a PS5, no PS4 so it’s not an option. I’ve played the hell out of Astro’s Playroom for PS5 which just makes me want to play Rescue Mission even more lol

More solid games than I have time for. This is a good problem to have. The must-buys for me are:

Resi Village (a friend preordered this for me as a bday gift)
Returnal (going to finish Control first)
Biomutant (going to finish DMC5 SE first)
Nier Replicant (going to pickup Automata first though)

My wife is very smitten by this, it’ll be a buy for us for sure. A relaxing and cute video game is something my wife has been looking for.

I just picked it up for PS5 and I’ve been playing 10/10 games lately, some tough acts to follow. But I gotta say, this game has some of the most fun moments I’ve had playing a game... in a very long time. And I’m not even very far into the game yet.

I just got to the part where you start playing as V. At first I was disappointed to not play as Nero anymore. But man, V is a blast to play with! Especially V’s first boss battle, it’s just so good. This game gets better and better. And I haven’t even gotten to play with Dante or Vergel yet.

I’ve been using my DualSense controller heavily since Nov. I read the article about the PS5 drift lawsuit on PlayStation Lifestyle. I got drift from my dual analogs just hours later. In Ghost of Tsushima my horse banked hard to the right, I took my thumbs off the sticks and it was still drifting.

It hasn’t happened since but my DualSense is cursed now and I blame the article.

I’m late to the show. I just picked up RE2 a few weeks ago but grew up playing the original trilogy. This is a game of the year indeed. It’s nothing short of pure perfection.

I grew up playing NBA Jam & NBA Live 95. The most recent NBA game I’ve played were on Dreamcast. I’m really considering this one on PS5 but the Metacritic reviews are awful. But I wonder if it’s legit a bad game or low ratings b/c it’s no different from NBA 2k2. Would you recommend this game to me who doesn’t have the previous entries or is it a legit bad/broken game?

@Col_McCafferty You’re right. I don’t understand adults who would prefer Nintendo’s library of games (any Nintendo generation).

We can’t forget the magnitude that mobile gaming have replaced console gaming. That’s another thing I really don’t understand. I get the convenience but the quality of the games and lack of setup (tv or monitor for screen size and controller). I don’t get it.

I loved RE in the day. I’ve only played Resident Evil 1 (PS1 & Saturn), Resident Evil 2 (PS1) and spent 30 mins with Resident Evil (GameCube 2002). I just ordered RE2 remake (PS4), not having played a RE game in eons. I have no idea what I’m in for but am looking forward to RE2 remake arriving!

This was such a great game. To me it surpasses any modern Mario game in fun-factor and impressiveness. My wife doesn’t like playing games but she absolutely loved this one. We played it all weekend!
