Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device

I would absolutely buy a handheld PlayStation 6. Assuming it would be less powerful than the full console, but still able to play PS6 games at reduced specs. If the push for backwards compatibility is true, then it would also be able to play all PS5 and PS4 games. Only problem would be for the physical media enthusiasts, whose libraries are locked onto discs. Yeah… that would be a problem for me…

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Astro Bot?

Only 2 galaxies in, but so far it’s an absolute 10/10. So inventive and joyful, and just the right level of challenge with plenty of casual fun but also tricky hidden bots and tougher platforming levels. 100% my game of the year, with Stellar Blade a close second.

Re: Poll: Would You Buy PS5 Pro If It Was Cheaper?

$599 with a friggin’ disc drive and I’d be hittin’ that preorder button. I totally get that it’s expensive tech, but as a physical enthusiast, this thing is just not worth the cost for me with my limited game time these days.

Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself

Ditch the live-service multiplayer cash-grabs, reel in the massive budgets and size of single-player games, and focus on some smaller projects that use existing IP’s in fun new ways. Nintendo’s new Zelda is a great example. Probably not that expensive to make given the graphics, but new and innovative, and likely going to sell like crazy.
Yeah, Sony needs to have some serious come-to-Jesus conversations.

Re: Black Myth: Wukong (PS5) - A Spectacularly Creative Action Romp

I’m excited to play this down the road. The idea of having a lot more unique boss fights than your typical soulslike, and cutting down the number of enemies leading up sounds refreshing. As much as I love exploring and finding new weapons and gear, 75% of the time they don’t work for your build… Anyways this sounds great. Hopefully we get a patch or two to tidy up the input lag issues.

Re: Poll: Rate Your Favourite PS5 Roguelike Games

1. Star Renegades
2. Returnal
3. Into the Breach

I was OBSESSED with Star Renegades. Put in dozens of hours over PS5 and Switch. Such a fantastic game. Challenging, tactical combat, awesome pixel art and character design, and so, so much personality. Can’t believe the game didn’t even show up in the system to be rated… 😭

@DETfaninATL Always wanted to try Mooncrash. Prey is fantastic, and I can see how it would make an excellent roguelike.
