@pepsilover2008 not saying it would’nt be but for Microsoft to fork over what would be required with their install base… well, as I said… it would be surprising.
This was the first ‘gatcha’ that I was semi-interested in (probably because the mere mention of GTA evokes so much nostalgia for me if I’m honest) but having watched a few YouTube reviews, I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t be for me.
I am excited for this… but I can’t lie, I would’ve rathered it remain shooter over melee. Still, I love the universe and the lore… so I’m excited to play it regardless.
Played and plat’d the original a few years back, yet to play 2 though. I did mean to play at least one metroidvania per year after really enjoying the first game but haven’t really carried that through for one reason or another.
Had a blast with Ghost of Yotei this week… if this wasn’t good enough to get a GotY nom last year, the games that did have a lot to live up to! Real close to the plat now, so will be mopping up a few side things in Watanabe mode.
If/when Yotei is wrapped, gonna move onto Life is Strange: Before the Storm. Never imagined that this series would’ve landed for me but looking forward to returning to it.
I’m one of the few that would’ve actually appreciated this being remade in the RPG-lite stylings of Origins/Odyssey/Valhalla/Shadows tbh. I’ll still play it though.
I picked this up for around £20.00 not long after it released, still haven’t played it though. Sounds like it’ll be in decent shape by the time that I do.
I’ve never been a massive fan of the Spider-man games (they’re fine but I just find the combat boring) but I am interested in this. I played the Origins movie tie-in a couple of years back and really enjoyed it. And there’s no reason why Insomniac can’t improve on that.
@Stocksy yeah it’s both a really good game and a great addition to the ip too. I’d happily play through the whole thing again if they ever remastered it.
Yesterday was my last day in work until 5 May, so wanted something to sink my teeth into… so maybe Starfield? I was also looking for something that would put my Pro through its paces though too, as I haven’t played anything that was pro-enhanced yet… so I seriously considered finally trying Cyberpunk 2077 🤔. I do love a big bombastic 1st party Sony blockbuster for a week off though, so ultimately settled on Ghost of Yotei. Most excited I’ve been about starting up a new game in a while.
I’ll be getting it regardless of review score! I just enjoy open-world games based in the criminal underworld. Massive fan of the Mad Max game that most of the dev team here worked on too.
I’ve already enjoyed the “influencer’s” change of perspective on the importance of exclusivity. As always, they simply take their cue from Microsoft’s ever-shifting policy and then bang that drum. I actually have more fun seeing through their disingenuous posturing than I did playing Microsoft’s games 😎
Just checked my backlog and I actually have the original but know next to nothing about it. Will no doubt pick up the sequel at some point… and then proceed to forget all about that too 😏
I almost always like his performances but having watched a fair few Alannah Pearce podcasts when Troy was a recurring guest (until they fell out), I wasn’t really a fan of his. I can appreciate a man (or woman) who takes their art seriously… but there’s a difference between that and being pretentious. Personally I found Troy regularly seemed the latter.
I do love an open-world game, so while I’ve never been tempted by any of the previous anime-styled f2p games released… I’m seriously interested in this one.
On the final leg of World War Z: Aftermath and Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown now (though both have long final legs if fairness). Good games the both of them… and I even enjoyed the pvp on the former, which is unusual for me.
I remember watching an Xboxera episode where specialnick had the temerity to suggest that Fable ‘may’ get delayed until 2027… Jesse got so angry he kicked him from the show! Xbox influencers/content creators are so funny without ever meaning to be 🤣
More World War Z: Aftermath and Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. With a bit of luck… and elite cat-herding, we might get the PvP trophies squared away today, though I’m not holding my breath tbh 😅. Have a great wknd peeps!
@TrollOfWar how about anything PlayStation related? Which is what we’ve already got with this article… but you seemed to take umbridge at in the first place 🤣
@TrollOfWar them too but they weren’t part of this particular discussion… the third-party aspect seemed pivotal to our particular back-and-forth. Well that… and I’m sure you’d have absolutely no issue with Push Square publishing articles about disgruntled Sony devs, so didn’t think it was worth bringing up.

Re: PS5's 007 First Light Will See You Embody the Charismatic James Bond for 20+ Hours
I haven’t enjoyed a Bond movie since Skyfall (and never been a massive Bond fan in all honesty) but I think this’ll be right up my ally.
Re: PlayStation Seemingly Lands GTA 6 PS5 Marketing Deal
Yeah, the surprise would’ve been if Microsoft had somehow got the rights.

It’s obviously never gonna happen but I’d happily play the launch version never wanting any subsequent content.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 630
@CaptD that’s disappointing about the PSVR2 delay for flight sim. Maybe it is finally time to dust off Cyberpunk from the backlog as @EfYI said
