@TrollOfWar not just Pete Hines but all disgruntled third party devs.

@TrollOfWar so what, it’d be just like if the head of Dice left his position due to the mismanagement of EA and then explained his reasons during an interview. That would get an article, as they make games for PlayStation… so why not this? 🤷‍♂️

@TrollOfWar Bethesda make games for PlayStation

That is NOICE!

I love golf games, so glad that a console version for this has now been announced.

@Yousef- it’ll be a while… but will do 🫡

I haven’t played this yet… but have heard that this is the souls-like fans’ souls-like, so I’m real hyped to eventually get to it. Sad to hear that a team of such talent has gone the way of the dodo 🥲

@GirlVersusGame that’s a new one in me fair play

I’ll still get it if it does release on PS5. I’m a sucker for open-worldiness.

Colour me surprised… but I actually quite like the look of this

@Fiendish-Beaver fair enough, I’ll play it one day and it’ll be interesting to see where I lay with a score for it. I’m guessing it’ll be around 7/7.5ish.

@Fiendish-Beaver I can se your logic… but from everything I’ve seen and read, the 83 on Metacritic and 85 on Open Critic are considered significant over scores. To offer the other side of the spectrum, it’s rated as 6/10 and 58% on steam and steamdb. 7/10 seems pretty fair considering.

@Dan12836666 I see that you have a keen understanding of sarcasm 😏

Damn this generation is whack… only a 7 for GotG! 🤬

It took a while for the Uncharted games to properly land with me for some reason but after around 16 years and three playthroughs of 1 and 2 and two playthroughs of 3… I’m now a really big fan. Looking forward to playing 4, LL and LoTC (& an eventual 5 one day 🤞) once I’ve got the platinum on 3.

@nomither6 they are

Oh I’ve done far madder I can assure you 😅

Even though I’ve already plat’d LotF I’m hyped that so many other people will now get to play it!

@CaptD congrats mate, I knew the Taycan would be good for something 😁

@Blauwe_Chimay that is better now tbh, I’ve only lost connection a couple of times. Still far from perfect though

Some more Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown and World War Z: Aftermath hopefully. The latter is more my bag but after getting over the initial shock of how shoddy TDU: SC looked, I’m actually enjoying that quite a bit too. Had an absolute nightmare trying to get in the same server with @CaptD yesterday though, to finish off the last FRIM (free ride instant money) action (slipstream). For a constantly online game, built around social racing it has possibly the worst multiplayer implementation yet seen. We eventually managed it through sheer bloody-mindedness though 😅.

@D6rkLordS6t6n @Hypoman “ We suppose the most important thing here is the inclusion of Performance Mode from day one; the game was locked at 30fps when it deployed on Xbox, although a faster frame rate option was patched in later. Here it’ll be available from the jump.”

@Th3solution damn dude… I’d be panicking already not gonna lie 😂. I know it can be a little intimidating booting one up for the first time in a while but I guarantee you that within 5 minutes of booting Dark Souls 3 for the first time, you’ll be glad that you did. The fact that you’ve had a full year off from souls-likes will probably help you appreciate it even more I reckon. Anyway, I can’t wait to hear all about it.

I’d rather they just charge £1.99 or something than have to go through all that 😅

@Th3solution I do have it, and have heard really good things about it too… **** knows when I’ll actually get to it though 😅. This year I’ve played Hellpoint and have Lies of P lined up for the second half of the year. Next year I’ll be playing Thymesia and Black Myth: Wukong.

And that’s not to mention Stranger of Paradise, Wo Long, Mortal Shell, Wuchang, Enotria, Steel Rising… not to mention a few souls-lites like Stellar Blade and Blades of Fire. I really need to up my souls-likes to 3 per year but where I’m gonna find the time I do not know.

Really hoping a current gen patch for Wildlands is somewhere towards the top of Ubi’s to do list 🤞

Should’ve saw it through to 100% release completion before handing it off to another team (Bluepoint, Bend… Nixxies even) to keep it ticking over.

Shame, I actually quite enjoyed my time with it. Just goes to show what a fallacy GaaS are though. As I’ve said many times, yes there are exceptions to the rule (but even they appear to be struggling lately - Fortnite)… but generally dev-teams are ****ing into the wind chasing this particular dragon.

I wasn’t gonna bother but now that it’s been confirmed that I can dress the Master Chief up like a can of Fanta… I’m all over it!

@Supern0va ikr just stream yourself about on the river 😉

@Dogbreath highly possible, like I said I could be wrong about my prediction. I just disagree with people stating opinion (informed or otherwise) as fact in an effort to promote their own agenda and will continue to call people out for it.

@Dogbreath you just listen to whom you want to listen to to reinforce your own world-view, there has been just as many leakers tout that Sony are pulling out all the stops to provide an affordable PS6.

I could obviously be wrong but I’m guessing the discless PS6 will release at £700.00. With the money that Sony make through their storefront it would be a very strange move to proceed the vast majority of its user base out of the market.

And before you say it, yes that would be below the current PS5 Pro price… and yes I can see how some people are unable to read between the lines of how that would be possible (a more powerful PS6 releasing at a price under the less powerful PS5 Pro). But the PS6 will be a mass-market device, with the inherent cost benefits of mass purchasing power of components. PS5 Pro was always a niche product. Small component ordering, small market expectations.

edit. And I’m not disagreeing that game-streaming will eventually replace gaming hardware (just refer to my comment to Gemini a few comments up from my response to you) just that you were being intentionally disingenuous by stating £1000 for a PS6 as if it was a fact to support your own narrative.

@Dogbreath oh so you’ve announced the rrp for a PS6 via an online comments section. Strange that Sony would change strategy to allow a PC enthusiast that frequents a PlayStation website to announce such a major announcement like that 🤔

@GeminiX53 making friends again I see 🤣. I don’t disagree though, game streaming will undoubtedly eventually replace gaming hardware.

@Th3solution you remember right mate, I haven’t played Lies of P yet… and am fully prepared for it to blow my doors off 🤞. About LotF (2023)… I’d actually rate the Nioh games above it in terms of actual gameplay (I haven’t played 3 yet neither). LotF (2023) is the closest thing theres been to a From Soft souls game not made by From though. Honestly, they just nailed the assignment. It is a bit easy though if you get me 😉

@Yousef- any day that theres souls-like news is a day that I celebrate (I celebrate a lot 😁).

Played this for the first time last year… good game fair play. Really hoping Darksiders 4 doesn’t get cancelled 🤞

I won’t play it at release, as I have a shed-load of souls-likes backed-up. I’ll buy it at release though, to reward the dev’s for their last game.

@CaptD I’ve already played the other versions multiple times mate, I ain’t in any rush. I’ve always been more tantric than two jerks and a squirt if you get me (in my own mind anyway 😁).

I’ve been saving the Part 1 remake and the Part 2 remaster in the hope that there will eventually be a III. If (& when) it releases, I’ll play all three in fairly close proximity to each other (maybe a month or so apart to keep things feeling fresh)… can’t wait!

@11001100110zero well as I say, while I didn’t enjoy it as much as I hoped I’ll still play the others if they come. I did have fun in co-op on whatever the hardest difficulty was.

@ChopperCampbell yeah I will mate… and in fairness, I did enjoy the co-op playthrough of Gears more than my solo run, so it wasn’t all bad. The mp grind for the platinum nearly killed me though 😅

Gears of War was the one Xbox franchise I felt I’d like, so I played through Reloaded in January and wasn’t that impressed tbh. In fairness, although it had a nice lick of paint it is essentially a 20 year old game , so I will give any subsequent Gears games that release on PlayStation a go… with lower expectations this time though.

I had one for £570 just before Christmas. Best pre-emptive gaming purchase I’ve ever made!

I managed to finish of the Devil May Cry 2 plat last night, which I’m happy about, as I have a few meaty games lined up for April and need every extra bit of time I can find to get them done. Will either make a start on World War Z: Aftermath or Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown. I won’t have a lot of spare time this weekend but I’ll hopefully get a bit done on one of these at least.

I’ll also be returning to Gears of War: Reloaded tonight for one night only, to help a couple of guys out with TDM map wins and weapon kills. It will then be finally uninstalled.

Right, third rescan… NTE: Neverness to Everness and only because it shows it in the small print under related games lol. NTE simply sounds like some slop-shop developer lol, get it together!

So excuse me for scanning (& then re-scanning!) your article… but what is this game even called?

Ahh 🤔… it won’t run at 8K & 1200 fps with path-tracing though peasants 🧐 /s

Brilliant game if anyone is looking for something to scratch that Dark Souls itch.

lol… theres always one 😂
