I love this studio, and while Dreams isn't my cup of tea, I'm happy to see the studio will remain well supported. I'd also like to see them make a game again like they used to.
I know this sucks, but I'm totally okay with this. Backwards compatibility is always something that sounds great in theory, but barely used by me. The ps3 games I actually do want to play again, Uncharted 2 and The Last of Us, are remastered. Yeah, I'd love to play Resistance 2 or Ratchet and Clank Tools of Destruction again, but it's not a deal breaker.
Replaying old games are mostly a nostalgia rush and not anything really rewarding. Games are evolving and getting better all the time. I find it hard to enjoy older games now anyway with all the quality of life enhancements we have today. I'd rather look ahead to the next great PlayStation classic than play the old ones.
Do people not remember they have been doing this with all their multiplayer offerings? This type of stuff was in the Uncharted multiplayer, and all multiplayer games really. This shouldn't be concerning at all.
I actually really do a likeness there, but that doesn't totally make or break a casting. She's a very talented actor and that is what is most important. Can't wait to see who they pick for Joel.
@Nepp67 Well, to each their own. I find the story the most compelling it's been in quite some time. Especially the developments with The Crow, Osiris, and the Brays.
Great month! Of course I just bought Concrete Genie on sale last week, but it's a really fun game with a great art style that is worth playing for anyone not familiar.
I just finished the first palace in Persona 5 Royal. I'll be continuing that, while also playing some 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim. Both brilliant games. Have a great weekend everyone!
I'm currently playing Persona 5 Royal, and while it's a fantastic game and I'm loving the characters and story, I could see myself becoming burned out from having to navigate my free time and the lengthy turn based battles. This one sounds like much more my speed with it being linear and the new combat.
I don't live in the UK, but I've totally given up trying to get a PS5 at this point. Nice to see people in positions of power taking notice, even if it's something as frivolous as this. Hopefully we'll all have better luck this Spring/Summer getting a console.
@TheLightSpirit I hear ya. Sony has never released anything close to that though, and they're certainly not going to start now. If God of War is in any trouble they'd have no problem delaying it until it's ready.
@TheLightSpirit Sure, but you originally stated you didn't think this new game would be worked on this year, but doesn't them hiring for it right now clearly mean otherwise?
@TheLightSpirit haha well the tweet clearly says they're hiring an Art Director specifically, for a project that is currently being developed. Just seemed like you didn't read the article before commenting..
I actually think this will be a good movie. I was way more excited when the director was Travis Knight or Dan Trachenberg, but everything we've seen so far looks really promising.
I really want another Uncharted game and integration of PS Now and Plus. I'm getting the PS5 regardless, but those would definitely make me try to get it sooner.
I just bought Persona 5 Royal yesterday, so I'll be busy with that for quite a while. If I'm not playing that I'll be on Destiny 2. Happy holidays everyone!
@David187 You do realize that all of Microsoft's first party, big expensive games, are on GamePass day one, right? There are dozens of other "big expensive" games that make their way to the service as well.
No ps5 for me for quite some time, but that is okay because there are still plenty of great games on ps4! I'll be playing Miles Morales and Beyond Light. Have a great weekend everyone!
I just started Metal Gear Solid 5 on PS Now. It's my first metal gear game, and I'm really loving it so far! I recently played the masterpiece that is Death Stranding, so I was itching to get into more Kojima madness. Besides that, I've taken a break from Destiny 2 the last couple of months to wait for Beyond Light, but started playing some Taken King campaign on Destiny 1 to get ready for it. Have a great weekend everyone!
I want to understand the frustration, but looking at the list of games, who cares? It's a bummer for those who may one day want to play Assassin's Creed Russia, but as long as the major ps4 titles are playable then that's all that matters.
@AdamNovice Sony getting Metal Gear Solid would be just as good as acquiring a new studio. That is a really exciting rumor! I hope there is some truth to it.
I'm not the biggest fan of the games, but this could be really good. Still waiting on their The Division movie with Netflix as well. Sounds like they have a good partnership with Netflix, and we may see more adaptations of their other big franchises.
I just finished Ghost of Tsushima, so not sure what I'll be playing next. Maybe I'll finally start Persona 5, or start Days Gone on PS Now. Have a great weekend everyone!

Re: PS5 Makes a Mockery of Marvel's Avengers' Long PS4 Load Times
Awesome. I just bought Avengers on PS4 a couple of weeks ago, and managed to snag a PS5 yesterday. I'm looking forward to trying this.

Re: The Persistence Enhanced Respawns on PS5 This Year
@Bigtuna515 Hah I came to say the exact same thing.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 363
I'll mostly be playing the new season of Destiny 2, but maybe some Persona 5 Royal if I find the time. Have a great weekend everyone!

Re: PlayStation Reflects on Its First Year Fighting Climate Change
@HotGoomba That's a really good idea, and I'd definitely buy one. Nice to see Sony putting some effort into this.
Re: PS Store Critics Choice Sale Cuts the Price of Many PS5, PS4 Games
@ObserverGamez lol this is literally the first time I've ever commented about Pyre, but okay.
Re: PS Store Critics Choice Sale Cuts the Price of Many PS5, PS4 Games
Another sale that Pyre isn't part of..been waiting a long time for that one. Still, a pretty good list of games here.
Re: Destiny 2 Keeps Chugging Along with Season of the Chosen Trailer

Re: Destiny 2 Keeps Chugging Along with Season of the Chosen Trailer
Love Destiny and still play regularly. Can't wait for this season. Bungie has really stepped their game up with the story recently.
Re: PS Now February 2021 Update Adds Detroit: Become Human, Call of Duty, Darksiders Genesis, and More
Good month. Black Ops 3 looks like it could be some fun.
Re: Talking Point: Is Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Still a PS5 Launch Window Game?
Probably May or June. This is the big game that is going to get me to upgrade to a PS5, so hopefully when it launches I can find a console.
Re: PS Plus February 2021 PS5, PS4 Games Announced
Great month! Of course I just bought Concrete Genie on sale last week, but it's a really fun game with a great art style that is worth playing for anyone not familiar.

Re: Hands On: Persona 5 Strikers Is a Streamlined Sequel That's Smashed Our Expectations
I'm currently playing Persona 5 Royal, and while it's a fantastic game and I'm loving the characters and story, I could see myself becoming burned out from having to navigate my free time and the lengthy turn based battles. This one sounds like much more my speed with it being linear and the new combat.
Re: PS Plus Looks Like a Steal When Compared to New Xbox Live Gold Prices
This is surprising. Xbox Gold went from potentially becoming free, to now twice the price.
Re: PS5 Stock Shortage Has UK Politicians Pushing for Online Bot Ban

Re: God of War Ragnarok Dev Already Hiring for Next Game
@TheLightSpirit So, you think they're hiring people just to hang out until they start a new game?
Re: PS Store Sells Yakuza Series for Peanuts, But You've Got to Be Quick
I'd much rather play these on Playstation, but I have GamePass for another 5 months and these are all on there. I wish PS Now had these!
Re: Naughty Dog 'Making Something Very Cool' as Hiring Spree Advertised
Whatever this game ends up being, will be the reason I purchase a PS5.
Re: Plunder Four Fresh Uncharted Movie Photos
I actually think this will be a good movie. I was way more excited when the director was Travis Knight or Dan Trachenberg, but everything we've seen so far looks really promising.
Re: Game of the Year: Best PS5, PS4 Indie Game of 2020
I voted for Spiritfarer, but The Pathless is at the top of my list of games to play in 2021.

Re: Random: This Guy Has Five PS5s
Haha great vid. I have one important question though. What does this guy do for a living, and how do I do it? That is a damn nice house.

Re: Destiny 2 PS5 Version Available to Download Now for Free
@djlard There are single player campaigns to play. Forsaken and Shadowkeep are free, and Beyond Light which is brand new.
Re: Metal Gear Solid Movie Reportedly Picks Up Oscar Isaac as Solid Snake
Great choice! I'm very happy with it. Also really like the director and writer. I think this has a lot of potential to be a really good movie.
Re: Time Names PS5 One of 2020's Best Inventions
@lacerz the Series S made the list.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 350
No ps5 for me for quite some time, but that is okay because there are still plenty of great games on ps4! I'll be playing Miles Morales and Beyond Light. Have a great weekend everyone!
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Games for November 2020?
Hollow Knight is on PS Now, not interested in Lord of the Rings, and I won't be getting a ps5 any time soon..so not a good month for me!

Re: PS Now November 2020 Update Adds RAGE 2, Injustice 2, F1 2020, and More
Yes! I literally just downloaded F1 2019, now I can upgrade to 2020. Injustice 2 I've also always wanted to play.
Re: Sony Adds a Bunch of New Avatars to PSN for Free, Including Spider-Man, Horizon, Demon's Souls
Love these! Just switched to Miles Morales. These are really great, but curious why there is only one Ghost of Tsushima avatar?
Re: Sony to Add More Free PSN Avatars Based on PS5 Games Tomorrow
YES. More Ratchet and Clank is always welcome.
Re: Sony Will Grow First-Party Organically, Could Bolster Portfolio with Acquisitions
@AdamNovice Sony getting Metal Gear Solid would be just as good as acquiring a new studio. That is a really exciting rumor! I hope there is some truth to it.

Re: Talking Point: What Free November 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Crash Team Racing or Concrete Genie would be glorious.
Re: Tom Holland Receives the Real Nathan Drake's Approval in New Uncharted Movie Set Photos
I didn't have the highest of expectations, but so far everything we've seen actually has me excited! Would love to see a cameo from Nolan North.
Re: Sony Shares WhatsApp Chat Between Miles Morales and Peter Parker
Man, Peter's new face is such an improvement! If they show him under the mask in the ps4 version of Miles Morales I hope it's the new updated look.
Re: Have a Gander at the New PS Store for Web Browsers
I like it. It's clean, minimalistic, and looks easy to navigate through without all the old clutter.
Re: PS5 Controllers Begin to Appear in the Wild
I really dig that minimalist box design. I can't wait to find out that feels like in my hands! Looks like the best controller Sony has made so far.
