I remember hearing great things about this when it released on PC and Switch, glad it’s finally made the leap!

Stories schnories! 😴

I remember really enjoying Enter the Matrix back on ps2. I could go for a remaster of that actually… or even better a brand new current gen Matrix game… the ip is made for this ****!

@UltimateOtaku91 I don’t think that it’ll only play selected games, that would give the Switch 2 (already the fastest selling console ever) far too much power in the eye of the consumer. I think it’ll play everything, just at a reduced quality (pixel-count &/or frames… which is totally fine on a handheld screen).

That does look cool. Didn’t know I wanted something like that until I watched it

Aye… like how Outer Worlds 2 and Doom: the Dark Ages both take full advantage of the pro 😏

@CaptD yeah that would’ve been cool. I did hear that fans were somehow able to get the Killzone 2 servers back up a year or two back… who knows, maybe they’ll be able to do the same for 3.

Alternatively, a project like remastering these or the Resistance trilogy would seem the perfect job for Bluepoint or Nixxies… but instead their sat on their hands or porting exclusively to PC 🤬

I actually bought the trilogy box set on PS3 the other day as it goes. Direct from Sony America, so it was still shrink-wrapped and everything. Still, I’d buy and play a ps5 remastered trilogy over my recent purchase if it was an option.

@Striker21 in the inimitable words of the late great Bruce Forsyth “… you’re my favourite”.

Never change dude… and fight on as if you were a Japanese holdout! ✊

@Elfuggingjefe best review of KCD2 I’ve heard! 😂

Gonna try and get a bit more done on Final Fantasy XIII-2. I’ve had three sessions with it these passed few weeks and finally feel like I have a bit of direction with it. Part way through episode 4 atm and I have next week off so… ideally I’ll either have popped the plat or be very close by this time next Saturday.

Hopefully a bit more raid mode on Resident Evil: Revelations too if schedules align. We’re now on to our third run-through on Abyss difficulty and while this road to the platinum is an unbelievable grind (honestly I can’t believe enough people have done it to take it out of the ultra rare category) it’s a good laugh.

@OldGamer999

And stop making us buy 3 bloody boxes to put under our TVs at cost as well.

Well… theres no need to buy three! Two… maybe… but not three.

@trev666

why is there a Pure xbox site if its going to be on push square anyway

Why is there an Xbox if it’s going to be on PlayStation anyway

This confirms it that you’re actively trying to bring the metacritic score of Xbox-produced games now Sammy and the crew, according to the pure Xbox regs 😂

Still use my ps3 semi-regularly. It’s the fugly super-slim model and was the second ps3 I purchased after my launch day phat died of ylod in 2013. PS4 is my fave PlayStation… but I’ve really liked all of them, including the 5 which seems to get a lot of hate.

@ElectricWizard articles don’t automatically mean excitement. The comments sections of all of those articles are full of apathy.

Definitely the right decision!

@ShadowRJ you’re seeing a lot of anticipation and excitement here… I must be looking in the wrong place!

I know that I sound like a broken record at this stage… but I’d much rather an expandalone tbh!

Pretty devastated to hear this… was quite looking forward to it! Oh well, back to the backlog…

Still hoping the remaster of the original gets a ps5 release.

@Kidfunkadelic83 now we’re getting somewhere 😎

@Nakatomi_Uk nah that’s not the opposite… more like equivalents. Was thinking more like, gliding over them… leaving them totally undisturbed. 🤔

I know this article is more about the merch than the game(s) itself but… on the gaming front, I think Team ASOBI should just go straight Nintendo crown-jewels with the ip. They’ve already done Mario. I think they should do Astrobot versions of Zelda, Mario Kart, Pokemon etc. etc…

What’s the opposite of stepping on rakes?

Noice! I’ve heard great things about this!

I’d buy a new one if they did the series justice.

@Northern_munkey I’m easy either way. Just understand that if you bring half a fact to a comments section to imply something that is unproven (and probably untrue), people are gonna call you on it.

@Northern_munkey oh yeah, from the place with no direct links 😉

@Northern_munkey always bring opinions to the table, it’s only discussion that helps people gain further understanding… on both sides of a debate. I think the issue here is that you were claiming a 40% reduction in sales… but that was only part of it, so people provided further context (ie the 40% in question was referring to uk physical sales… which have dropped considerably in the intervening years between 2020 and 2025). When people provided further context, you used the opinion-defense, which doesn’t really apply to constructing a point while only using partial facts.

@Oram77 Xbox gamers shouted down the importance of sales figures all gen… now look at them!

Is this the one that is normally held in Germany?

PlayStation gamers… finish this fight!

@Northern_munkey context is everything when discussing physical sales from 2020 to physical sales in 2025. As it will be again when comparing physical sales from 2025 to 2030. Simply reading 40% down doesn’t even tell a half of the story.

@Th3solution yeah, so I didn’t see that other comment but it’s an incredibly pertinent point. I mean, the implementation of AI is meant to be something that will speed up development time at some point… but I’m not overly keen on that solution either 🤷‍♂️

So, while I will buy it at launch (always have, probably always will)… I’d be happy if the next gen was put on ice until 2030.

Was already worrying about them ruining the next Farcry, now I’m concerned that they’re gonna ruin AC too!

Yes… I actually like Ubisoft games. 🤷‍♂️

I rarely feel fomo, as I just continually chip away at my gargantuan backlog without regret… I’m feeling fomo bout this though. I’m guessing that I’ll cave before the end of the year and boot it up.

@Kiefer-Sutherland use an asterisk either side of the word 😉

#bestdealingaming “✌️”

@Th3solution something I missed off that criteria but would definitely add now… and should probably be included within the Deliberate Combat point, would be the importance of the stamina bar. Can’t believe I didn’t include that actually 🫣

Well I guess people are finally talking about Goodbye Sweet Carole now eh @SamMR?

@Th3solution well hey there, haven’t seen that in a while 😁… and I agree with you, Code Vein is a souls-like imho.

Yeah I remember seeing this around a year or two ago, think it was early access on PC or something. Might’ve been Skill Up who was gushing all over it. Looks really cool fair play!

@get2sammyb it was okay mate, one of the poorer souls-likes out there imho… but still decent (decent enough that I played it through 3 or 4 times to get all the endings 😅).

Nice to see some good games industry news for a change.

I’m not a massive fan of acquisitions but… if this is true, it would be one that would hark back to how Sony used to do it (prior to the Live Service push under Jim Ryan) ie work with a company across many games and over multiple generations to establish that the cultures of both could co-exist and hopefully thrive.

If it were true, it could be symbolic of Sony going back to what I personally would want them to return to.

Gutted… sounds great!
