Well, when they come in at £499 for the PS6 it’ll look like great value

I thought this article was going to be job interview tips and stuff.

@colonelkilgore probably helps a lot going in with such low expectations, but it was not what was expected back at launch! I’d love to give it another go if they ever give me the means to on a modern PlayStation console, though.

I am playing the brilliant Alien: Isolation again. That encounter with the 4 humans an hour or so in is still a real hump to get over, but you quickly get a revolver, some schematics and the motion detector afterwards and things get a lot more manageable.

So it didn’t beat the haters? Huh.

I do admire the dedication to this, or anything, really. But at the same time, if you have three days to drop on this without a moments notice, I start to get a bit judgey.

I played a good chunk of it on iphone. It isn't exactly bad, but it all feels a bit "lite", in keeping with games like I Am Setsuna, etc.

Maybe it's a bit more compelling on a home console.

They should throw us a curve ball, buy the rights to SSX3 and remake that instead, with all the original tunes.

@yazzika you got it wrong, it’s “their taking the hobbits to Isengard!”

I held off and got a new copy of Callisto Protocol for £5.99 last weekend 😂

@PrettyPawsome I still don't buy it, personally. Who is completing surveys for Capcom? Not the general buying public, I'd say.

I'm not saying the games might not be cool, and certainly there is demand for them but if the Resident Evil remakes are the benchmark, I don't see Dino Crises being as successful for Capcom. That said, they are fast running out of things to remake!

In my opinion, a vocal minority want more Dino Crises and it would be a waste of money for Capcom to remake the last games. Although they are doing alright so perhaps have the money to be charitable!

It’s a cool idea in theory, but it’s a fair justification for not doing it. I’m not sure where you’d even start nailing the cultural satire as a complete outsider.

A sequel or (more boring/likely) a remake will happen eventually, it's a total no brainer for Sony.

I mean, it looks better than you’d think it would.

I blitzed through the original red faction this weekend, and thought about getting this but I never really got along with Timesplitters back in the day. Always felt like one of the only people who didn’t “get it”!

Red Faction 1, started yesterday evening and hopefully have it finished today. Its been fun to blast through, once I played around with the default controls a bit.

It’s my favourite of the 3 by far 🤷‍♂️

A high 3

2000% of zero is still zero.

No PS5 Pro for me. When compared to past generations, this one has really been quite awful. Looking forward to the next Nintendo, and hoping Sony & Microsoft get themselves sorted out.

@dschons to be fair I went and checked the last one and he was top 😂

Urgh scoreboard means I can’t lie.

I'll probably get Silent Hill 2 unless they have TOTALLY botched it, which doesn't seem to be the case based on what we've seen so far. Dragon Age could be interesting and the Warhammer game sounds fun. Astrobot sounds good but I wasn't exactly blown away by the one that came with the PS5 so we'll see how much of an improvement it is.

Otherwise it's the new Zelda on Switch for me, I think, if the performance is a little better than Links Awakening.

Then thinking Steam Deck at Christmas!

I played this several years ago and got really bored after a while, but figured I’d try it again this week. Played a couple of hours and I haven’t a clue what’s going on, can’t even read the map properly. I’ll read through this guide!

Incidentally, I am playing the free to level 70 version, but because I already had an account which I paid for previously, I am locked out of this version even though I didn’t hit level 70 when I was a paying subscriber. Can’t even just make a new SE account, as it’s tied to my PSN. Had to make a new PSN account just for this and then a new SE account 🤷‍♂️

I didn’t think I had it in me, but I’ve started a second Elden Ring run and I’m quite enjoying it!

Yeah of course the difficulty can put me off, it doesn't mean I think they should break the game to cater for me though.

@nessisonett I have talked myself out of it reading these comments and I am going to get Sea of Stars instead, probably a better Final Fantasy game! Still, I will play 16 one day…

It’s been on my radar since launch but just have not got round to it. Might pick it up today or over the next couple of weeks. I’ve no idea if I will like it or not, based on everything I read. Can’t imagine telling 12 year old me that, but there you go!

Sony are an absolute joke sometimes. What on earth are they doing???

Too familiar wouldn't be a problem if the base game didn't quite obviously run out of steam a bit before the end credits. It's a great game of course, but it is at it's very best in the earlier sections. If it is going to drag on, and then serve up another 20-30 hours of the same loop, it's a fair comment.

Sounds like Sony are fully aware it’ll be a massive money spinner so it’s more a case of timing than anything else’s, and of course, if a full remake is on the cards that all feeds into it too. It’ll happen for sure. A proper sequel would be much better, though…

@Mikey856 "What happened to 8??"

I was asking that back in 1999

Glad to hear it’s a good time. I always enjoyed the story in Destiny, and some of the locations you visit are incredible. No point in trying to catch up, it’s one of those “you had to be there” experiences, and better for it really. I’ll have watch it all on YouTube.

What do we want?

Isometric RPGs with pre-rendered backgrounds!

When do we want them?

Every couple of years is fine, I’m actually pretty busy!

AoE2 would be lit! I'd be down for Halo too. Let's party like it's the noughties!

Diablo 4 when I can, really enjoying it this time round. What I hoped it would be at launch.

It’s nonsense really, my attention span is completely fi

@DrVenture69 Glad to hear you rate it as highly as Fez, it’s the reason I got it. I was super hooked on that game. (listening to the Fez soundtrack on YouTube now, actually!)

Really need to make a dent in it this weekend.

I’ve a bit of time for gaming this weekend.

I reinstalled Diablo 4 and have been having a good time with it this week. I got super bored of the story last time I played it, so I started a new character and skipped the campaign. A lot happier!

Also, the big new loot 2.0 update this week has reworked things. Everything seems better from my perspective, and from what I have read it is being taken positively by the fan base. No news story on here about it, though?

I also got Animal Well, although haven’t really got into that yet.

Wanted to give Inquisition another shake last week, thought it'd be £3.99 or something but they still want £34.99 for it! (Or £31.49 with an EA Play sub!)

Big shame about Tango, Evil Within 2 is one of my favorite games. I'd have genuinely got an Xbox to play a third one if I had to.

I finally pulled the trigger on Prey (was very impressed by the demo way back when but just never picked it up). A few hours in and it seems like £5 very well spent, it’s almost everything I want in a game, really.

That said, I don’t love the art deco style of the space station, I’d prefer something more rough and ready like the Ishimura or the Sevastopol from Alien Isolation.

Kyle’s never heard such bullsh*t

Really didn’t get on with this before. I thought about grabbing it again but the £3.99 deal ended before I could. Maybe one day.

It seemed like so much time passed between Skyrim and this, but it’s crazy how close they released, really.

I can see what they were trying to do with the trailer, but not really working for me. I think the game itself looks like it could be good, though.

I’m still plugging away at Tears of the Kingdom. Almost a year later (220 hours) and I am still coming back, with quite a bit to do!

@ShogunRok sorry, I didn’t read what you said properly. I thought you said the PS4 version used standard, where as the PS5 version used ultra.

The textures look pretty good on performance based on the photo though, so sure, I could imagine not much further improvement in quality mode… and it seems like a pretty nice upgrade either way.

@ShogunRok I watched a video yesterday and was pretty impressed with the texture improvements, at least on some objects. I assume below is the difference between “standard” and “ultra”?

Why is the main character wearing a Master System box?
