@THEBrew The fact you’ve not even bothered to write Starmer’s name correctly tells me everything I need to know about both you and the message you’re trying to lie about.
Anyhow, this might be part of the reason we get announcements so long before games actually are anywhere near getting announced. It bypasses this.
I really want a racer which is a ‘career’ in the old sense. Haven’t played a racer which you’ve got from typical rank to rank for so long now. It’s either childish wristband/festival stuff with Forza or lots of different championships à la GT. I want a F3/F2 into F1 type game which isn’t F1.
I would have thought quite a straight forward fix would be to have a number associated to every account. Once a customer service token is made, they send a code to that phone which until verified with customer service no further steps are made.
I also think, as it has been announced so early, that a couple of third party titles are announcing before it and then having a deeper dive at the showcase perhaps?
Well I am LOVING it. Debated putting it down to await some updates but there’s just so much to do on it I wouldn’t even cover that much ground by the time of they’ve done most of their immediate updates.
Also, I can’t resist coming back to it.
For anyone debating it, as someone who’s been gaming for 20 years, go for it.
As everyone else has said already; these characters are done now. If anything reeks of the studio really regretting killing off Chloe in the first game it’s the endless return to her in most games since.
I’d love a GTA style open world game by Rockstar based in the UK though. Doesn’t have to be a GTA but I do think the UK’s vastly diverse towns, cities and countryside would make for an incredible AAA open world game.
Enjoying it so far. Only comment would be that there’s way too many zombies out and about in the opening bit of the game. I at least liked the option of traversing an A to B at least once with only a few kills needed. Now you’re overwhelmed a little too easily for me.
Xbox (to a large degree) and PlayStation culling their reward schemes is nothing less than greed. It costs the company so little given, especially in PS’s case, you only earn by spending.
Really sad and corporate focused decision making. Do better PlayStation, do better.
I really don’t understand the hate to Part 2. It’s so much more complex than the first game and rightly so. Still a stunning game.
With regards to TV and this episode, I thought it was extremely rushed and a bit all over the place. Not sure why given the amount of episodes they’ve got to tell the story. The Scar story feels like a case of ‘we have to tell it’ rather than a desire to and it’s being undersold in my view.
After a heavy time on Xbox Game Pass, I’m back in PS5 territory to continue my replay of The Last of Us. Then I’ll go back to the second. Loving the series.
In all honesty, what part of any of these areas did we not have in GTA 5. Like, are they genuinely going to be anymore dense and interactive then before? Surely would have been better to base this somewhere like London and therefore naturally have had vastly different areas to discover?

Re: Worrying News for PS6, as Memory Prices Tipped to Double by End of 2027
Well, gaming was fun folks. AI’s trashed it for good.
Re: PS5 Adds Custom GTA 6 Start-Up Screen, Sony Rebrands PS App as Pre-Orders Go Live
Is it possible to have GTA 6 fatigue already?
Re: GTA 6 'Plays Best on PS5', All Console Features Revealed
Yeah, no performance details whatsoever.
Runs at 10fps on 720p.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Finally Getting Multiplayer, But Naughty Dog Ain't Making It
Ain’t making it?
Like I’m reading an article for Fortnight Sammy ha!
Just give me the third game. Now. Thanks Naughty Dog.

Yup, first day purchase.

Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for August 2026 Announced
Saw the byline for this article and thought it might be Death Stranding 2.
Oh, how wrong I was.
Re: 'We Have Many More Stories to Tell with Kratos': Sony Confirms New Games with God of War's Protagonist
Bad sign they’re already having to put this on record.
Re: The Outer Worlds 'Free' PS5 Upgrade Has Immediately Turned into a Mess
Well, for anyone who bought base game after that statement, looks as though they will have to give th 2 DLCs for free to bypass these ‘limitations’.
Written in black and white for those who purchased since their announcement!
Re: Ex-Forza Horizon Devs Poised to Reveal New PS5 Racer Prior to Sony's State of Play
I really want a racer which is a ‘career’ in the old sense. Haven’t played a racer which you’ve got from typical rank to rank for so long now. It’s either childish wristband/festival stuff with Forza or lots of different championships à la GT. I want a F3/F2 into F1 type game which isn’t F1.
Re: PS Store Days of Play Sale Live Now with 2,000+ PS5 Game Deals
Was really hoping for Ghost of Yotei but that ‘sale’ is not worth my time sadly. Shall wait on it further!
Re: The Next Kingdom Come Game Is a Lot Closer Than You Think
I just cannot get into these games. Annoying as I really want to.

I would have thought quite a straight forward fix would be to have a number associated to every account. Once a customer service token is made, they send a code to that phone which until verified with customer service no further steps are made.
Sounds really straight forward to me?
Re: Sony to Show Latest State of Play in Theatres for First Time Since 2018
Must mean Last of Us 3 is getting its announcement.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 2nd June, 60+ Minutes of Wolverine and PS5 Games
Being screened so it’s going to be a big one.
I also think, as it has been announced so early, that a couple of third party titles are announcing before it and then having a deeper dive at the showcase perhaps?
Re: GTA 6 Fans Are Going Gaga Waiting for New Trailer, Believe PS5 Pre-Orders Could Start Next Week
Endless news and rumours is what you get when PS’s first party offering is as low in quantity as it is this generation.
Re: Crimson Desert's Next PS5 Patch Could Be Its Biggest Yet
Well I am LOVING it. Debated putting it down to await some updates but there’s just so much to do on it I wouldn’t even cover that much ground by the time of they’ve done most of their immediate updates.

Re: Poll: Do Crimson Desert's PS5 Patches Put Other Devs to Shame, or Is the Game Simply Unfinished?
I don’t think the two are mutually exclusive of one another.
Re: Major Crimson Desert Patch Out Now on PS5, Makes Countless Gameplay Improvements
Those who have actually played this know it’s far from Cyberpunk. People really are crapping on this amazing game for no good reason.
Re: '$1,000+ Consoles Could Become the Norm': PS6's Price Touted to Touch Four Figures
Not in my house it won’t.
Re: Feature: PS5 Price - Why Does It Cost So Much in 2026?
I’m just relieved I’m 32. Most of my best gaming years are behind me and I lived through the PS2 and Xbox 360 which was gaming at some of its finest.
I think the PS5 and Xbox Series X will be my last console purchases.
Until my son’s of an age where he begs me for the PS9 at the small cost of £4,350.
Re: New PS5 Firmware Update with Anticipated PSSR 2 Toggle Available Now
Didn’t put Pro in the headline and despite me knowing full well PSSR isn’t coming to us base users, I nearly jumped out of my bed just then.
Re: Life Is Strange Reunion Pairs Max with Chloe Once More on PS5
As everyone else has said already; these characters are done now. If anything reeks of the studio really regretting killing off Chloe in the first game it’s the endless return to her in most games since.
Shame, it was a decent enough game initially.
Re: PS Store Leaks Resident Evil Requiem Character in Updated Art
Given Capcom actively lied about it to make a bigger deal of it they must be fuming it’s been leaked early… oops…
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS5 Another Subpar Re-Release from Rockstar
Don’t expect much good to come from Rockstar until it gets its Battlefield rival moment. If you’ve got the monopoly you’ll moo along as the cash cow.
Re: Real-Life Prague Becomes Raccoon City for Sony's Resident Evil Movie Reboot
How oh how we’ve not had a decent Resident Evil film/series for such a long time I have no idea. Easiest IP to get right.
Looking forward to this though.
Re: GTA London Will Remain a One-Off, as the Series Needs Guns and American Culture, Says Dan Houser
I’d love a GTA style open world game by Rockstar based in the UK though. Doesn’t have to be a GTA but I do think the UK’s vastly diverse towns, cities and countryside would make for an incredible AAA open world game.
Re: Dispatch Proves the Telltale Model Can Still Work, Sells 1 Million Copies
Ah yes, about this, any update on Wolf Among Us 2 or are we now to assume it’ll never be released…?
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 604
Working through, and loving, Dying Light The Beast.
Another brilliant game from Techland. Any follow up really needs a more varied and interesting story though which opens up choice fully.
Re: PS6 Could Be Less Than Half the Price of Microsoft's 'Very Premium' Next-Gen Xbox
Two things I’d expect from a PS6;
Any less than that and I’ll keep my base PS5 thanks.
Re: PS6 Release Date Touted for 2027, Cheaper But Less Powerful Than Next Xbox
All of these ‘rumours’ (exc date) feel like it’s Microsoft and Sony’s way of floating how the ideas go down before committing to their projects.
Anyway, given how long it took for actual PS5 next gen games, I’ll be waiting a fair while before buying a PS6 when it comes out.
Re: Call of Duty Is Trying Everything It Can to Make You Play Black Ops 7 Over Battlefield 6
So bloody glad CoD has a competitor. Monopoly never wins for anyone.
Re: State of Play September 2025 Predictions: Marvel's Wolverine, Resident Evil Requiem, God of War, and More
I am once again asking for a new SOCOM
Re: Review in Progress: Dying Light: The Beast (PS5) - This Could Be the Zombie Series' Peak
Enjoying it so far. Only comment would be that there’s way too many zombies out and about in the opening bit of the game. I at least liked the option of traversing an A to B at least once with only a few kills needed. Now you’re overwhelmed a little too easily for me.
Re: Atomfall Gets Another Story Expansion Pack with The Red Strain, Out in September
Up and atom might be this website’s finest work. Bravo.
Re: Feature: Let's Predict Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025
Prison Architect 2 update… please?
Re: Sony Controlling More of Marathon Dev Bungie, Will Be Integrated into PS Studios
Until PS announces a complete rethink on this live service strategy altogether, this might as well a short term plaster of an announcement.
Re: Wreckreation Does Its Very Best Burnout Impression in PS5, PS4 Trailer
Burnout? Guys and girls, let me tell you about a little PS2 game called Stuntman.
Re: Preview: Dying Light: The Beast May Be the Best the Series Has Ever Been
Can’t wait for this. Bought Ultimate Edition of DL 2 so even more ecstatic I’ll be getting this for ‘free’ too.
Re: PS Stars Program Marks Its Eventual Shut Down with One Last Collectible
Xbox (to a large degree) and PlayStation culling their reward schemes is nothing less than greed. It costs the company so little given, especially in PS’s case, you only earn by spending.
Really sad and corporate focused decision making. Do better PlayStation, do better.
Re: What the Hell Has Happened to Call of Duty?
I’ll wait for whenever Medal of Honour or SOCOM rears its beautiful head for an actual war/army game.
Re: Mafia: The Old Country Proves Loyalty Is Everything in New PS5 Trailer
Shocked at lack of gameplay given the upcoming release. I’ll wait on that before a Day 1 purchase.
Re: Resident Evil 9 PS5 Reveal This Week, It's Claimed
Oof this is great news if true.
Waiting on GTA 6’s move I reckon so I’ll be expecting an end of year release. Possibly Halloween.
Re: State of Play Confirmed for 4th June, 40+ Minutes of PS5 Games
Splinter Cell’s rumoured announcement
Re: New PS5 Commercial Wants You to Play the Unmissable
Lot of Marketing and PS Plus movement lately from PlayStation. Any sign this is all heading towards the rumoured State of Play?
Re: TV Show Review: The Last Of Us (HBO) Season 2 Episode 7 - Great Game Makes for Okay TV
I really don’t understand the hate to Part 2. It’s so much more complex than the first game and rightly so. Still a stunning game.

Re: Death Stranding 2's PS5 Controller Up for Pre-Order Now
Swear that’s the most bland design out there, especially for a game as out there as this?
Re: GTA 6's PS5 Open World Looks Like Rockstar's Best Ever
In all honesty, what part of any of these areas did we not have in GTA 5. Like, are they genuinely going to be anymore dense and interactive then before? Surely would have been better to base this somewhere like London and therefore naturally have had vastly different areas to discover?
Re: PlayStation Hypes Up Big Marathon PS5 Reveal This Weekend
Interesting this is happening on a Saturday. Assuming this is to target kids in which case they’ve done good from a marketing perspective already.
