Just mopping up the final bits and bobs on Bully. Enjoyed my trip back to Bullworth (& PS2 gaming) more than I had any right to. One of the great ps2 era games imho… looking forward to playing a few more from that era this coming year
Can’t imagine that there’ll be that much of interest unveiled here, what with the Game Awards around the corner… anything significant would much rather be announced there.
Thank god that the Xbox content creators out there ain’t in charge of the mathematics curriculum of the developed world. This ****’s calculus not arithmetic!
Thinking of installing Bully. I loved it back on the ps2 and while putting a decent amount if time into it, I don’t think that I ever actually finished it. Really hope that it’s aged like a fine wine 🤞
The worst of the three 3D Fallouts but I still enjoyed it. It just seemed really scaled back in terms of its systems as far as I can remember… and the settlement building didn’t fill the gap that was left.
Started Dirt 5 during the week, so will probably get a bit more of that done… and if schedules align some more of the forever-grind that is Resident Evil: Revelations 😩
Only really gotten into the Resident Evil series this year (I’m definitely the tortoise over the hare 😅) and just in time to watch what should be the first good film adaptation. After enjoying the hell out of Weapon a few months back, really looking forward to this!
We’ll never know this but i’d be really interested to know the revenue that their games will make on Xbox compared to the amount paid for any PlayStation exclusivity.
@Balaam_ well… that’s one way of looking at it, the other (from a similarly obsessed trophy hunter) is that is why they’re so preciously ultra rare. My GTAIV, GTAV and RDR2 plats are amongst my most coveted. 😉
I remember really enjoying Enter the Matrix back on ps2. I could go for a remaster of that actually… or even better a brand new current gen Matrix game… the ip is made for this ****!
@UltimateOtaku91 I don’t think that it’ll only play selected games, that would give the Switch 2 (already the fastest selling console ever) far too much power in the eye of the consumer. I think it’ll play everything, just at a reduced quality (pixel-count &/or frames… which is totally fine on a handheld screen).
@CaptD yeah that would’ve been cool. I did hear that fans were somehow able to get the Killzone 2 servers back up a year or two back… who knows, maybe they’ll be able to do the same for 3.
Alternatively, a project like remastering these or the Resistance trilogy would seem the perfect job for Bluepoint or Nixxies… but instead their sat on their hands or porting exclusively to PC 🤬
I actually bought the trilogy box set on PS3 the other day as it goes. Direct from Sony America, so it was still shrink-wrapped and everything. Still, I’d buy and play a ps5 remastered trilogy over my recent purchase if it was an option.
Gonna try and get a bit more done on Final Fantasy XIII-2. I’ve had three sessions with it these passed few weeks and finally feel like I have a bit of direction with it. Part way through episode 4 atm and I have next week off so… ideally I’ll either have popped the plat or be very close by this time next Saturday.
Hopefully a bit more raid mode on Resident Evil: Revelations too if schedules align. We’re now on to our third run-through on Abyss difficulty and while this road to the platinum is an unbelievable grind (honestly I can’t believe enough people have done it to take it out of the ultra rare category) it’s a good laugh.
This confirms it that you’re actively trying to bring the metacritic score of Xbox-produced games now Sammy and the crew, according to the pure Xbox regs 😂
Still use my ps3 semi-regularly. It’s the fugly super-slim model and was the second ps3 I purchased after my launch day phat died of ylod in 2013. PS4 is my fave PlayStation… but I’ve really liked all of them, including the 5 which seems to get a lot of hate.
I know this article is more about the merch than the game(s) itself but… on the gaming front, I think Team ASOBI should just go straight Nintendo crown-jewels with the ip. They’ve already done Mario. I think they should do Astrobot versions of Zelda, Mario Kart, Pokemon etc. etc…

@CaptD $250 for a controller is enough to put me off VR indefinitely not gonna lie 😅

I’m tempted by a Pro at that price not gonna lie. Is this price exclusive to PlayStation Direct?

Re: GTA 6 Delayed Again, Pushed Back to November 2026
As I said at the last delay, I’m fine with it as I already have far too many games to manage… and I’m a massive GTA fan!

@ElectricWizard articles don’t automatically mean excitement. The comments sections of all of those articles are full of apathy.
