That's basically the population of the UK

Awesome I can't wait!

Oh man, I wish they'd announce touch screen controls for switch!

@johncalmc lol fair enough, I love kitchen nightmares, it is jokes!

Not sure if you are still around @johncalmc but do the Sims actually watch Kitchen Nightmares or was that just some colourful imagination on your part? Believe it or not, I would bump this up the backlog to try out sooner if they actually did watch Kitchen Nightmares....

I wish they would do a collection of every mortal Kombat game up to Armageddon, or maybe even 9 as it's not available on current gen

How does power rangers battle for the grid rank?

Hahaha what a sub heading!

I thought this might be because most UK gamers probably have a PS4 already, I picked up an Xbox one x in the sale for the few exclusives which I'm quite pleased with. I ended up buying the sunset orange dual shock 4 too though! I thought it was out of print then all of a sudden Argos are selling it for 35 notes!

@Quintumply and everyone else, sunset orange dualshock 4 (Goku colours) in Argos for £34.99

Will we be able to finally delete that icon from our PS3s? Probably not, I'm guessing lol

That screenshot is grim! Looks like the final scene out of the film hostel!

@FullbringIchigo Lol fair enough. Streaming service for film and TV has meant the decline of physical media. That being said, lots of shows and films that would never see a physical release in certain regions also get a new lease of life if they come to streaming (which does happen).

I don't doubt the discount that ps plus gives you but it is normally for games I wouldn't buy anyway, so they're worth a punt if they're included in the sub. Its just erroneous to refer to them as free which alot of people do.

There's lots of TV shows that aren't coming to blu ray (remaining Netflix marvel, the Orville, remaining legion, the gifted, cloak and dagger, runaways) which is annoying because I want to complete my collections! Likewise it sort of annoys me when a game I want to own comes to psplus because I feel less inclined to buy it!

I know this isn't the point of the article but PS plus games aren't free. they, among other services, cost a monthly/yearly fee...

Marvel Vs capcom collection including the non-vs marvel games?? For switch as well please ...

I have a couple of friends who play it, they seem to really enjoy it. I know very little about it.

@KALofKRYPTON Weird it's so expensive! I bought a new madcatz one off of ebay for £15 a few years back but it's since been replaced by an actual arcade stick anyway!

Beenox said the same about crash team racing....

@FullbringIchigo I feel like cool spot had the 7up stuff removed for its UK release because Fido Dido was our 7up mascot...

I remember when I was young, I thought cool spot was the virgin interactive mascot until I found out (probably in the last few years) that he was actually a 7up mascot in the US!

Hmmm, is this why I've been having my ass handed to me online this week? I just assumed it was because all the really good players came back for the new event...

@SoulChimera Oh yeah fair enough, quotes flew around at the time of the controversy. Not really sure what the outcome was...

@Rob_230 It's so sad they binned him off. Apu was one of the most well developed, least 2-dimensional side characters in the show

Sounds awful for them, I quite enjoyed crimes and punishment. I have the devil's daughter racked up to play when I have some time.

Also, on the one hand you'd want this game just in case it becomes unavailable forever but on the other you'd not want to give the publisher any of the money for trying to pull a move like this

@manu0 they certainly used to be before I binned off my time consuming animal crossing pocket camp addiction!

It's funny that Nintendo charges loyalty points for this exact same thing..... In the old days (and I imagine still) youd just search for high Res images, right click, save and set as desktop....

Are the cut scenese sharp? I remember the ones on PS3 were a little bit fuzzy which sort of put me off (even in comparison to a studio Ghibli dvd)

@Paranoimia they are really bad. I binned em off a decade ago when they sold me a TV box set that had a faulty disc, of course you won't know that until you've watched up to that point and they did nothing to help.

More recently I took a punt on a blu ray having recently bought some cheap amiibo from them with no problems. I tried to cancel the blu ray order within minutes of making it but couldn't because it was already "processing". Got in touch and just got a load of internal company policy. Of course the blu ray arrived and I sent it back with no refund for weeks. I had to open a PayPal case to get it back in the end.

Funny how they sell gaming tat, sorry I mean merchandise when I don't think they even sell any or many games anymore....

Should the game "noughts and crosses" now be referred to as "circles and crosses" or "noughts and exes"?!?

Also I say "press" instead of "push".....sorry pushsquare but I would press square on my controller.....

@KALofKRYPTON up to and including PS1 would be feasible I guess. I don't want to exclude the PS2 generation but the whole thing is a pipe dream anyway. I doubt they'd do it, there is probably over a hundred games up to then anyway, especially if you include platform different versions like the snes/mega drive alladin

Mind you, I was thinking just platformers only but I wonder if they'd include stuff like Mulan Print Studio (just an example of something random, don't know if it exists lol)

Maybe they could do a star wars console, a marvel console, a Disney classics console and a Disney channel console (for the TV show games). Then Disney can be Disney and make money without going full Disney about it and we can collect more tat to put under our TVs. Buy all all 4 and we get a HDMI splitter in the shape of Mickey mouse....

@KALofKRYPTON a Disney micro console isn't a bad idea actually (minus the streaming, renting and Disney plus subscription). It would only be good if it had every Disney game on it though up to a reasonable generation...

@Deljo who needs a sword when you can throw apples?! Seriously though the platforming was really fun. Preference might just come down to what you had has a kid, I had the SNES version and it was so good, I ran through it again about ten years ago and it still held up then!

I actually love the SNES alladin, though I understand that the general consensus is that people prefer the mega drive version

I would probably be more interested in a feudal Japan setting than a standard Yakuza game

I would love it if the actual ps5 looked like this! Looks a bit like a pc engine come spacey jockey ship or a miniature of a futuristic building or complex

I'm gutted I missed the sunset orange one, looked like a Goku outfit!

@Arkantos2990 saying the unlockables are not pay to win is and always has been a poor justification for MTX

part of the fun of good games is unlocking everything in the game whether its cosmetic or not.

This is a bit of a sad calculation but you can normally earn a little over 1000 wumpa coins by racing android alley offline over and over again for 50 minutes or so on easy (coming first). I think this is the most efficient and boring way of doing it when online multipliers are not in effect. But with the new real world price of wumpa coins it puts that work at about £1/hour

@Rob_230

2500 wumpas will net you a character skin or set of wheels

5000 wumpas will net you a car

Characters are normally 1500 wumpas (unless theyre part of a bundle which is normally over 5000 wumpas)

Stickers I think are between 1000-3000 for a pack of up to 3 stickers (I think they had one last grand Prix at 3600 for four stickers though)

Decals are 250-1000 wumpas

Colour sets are no more than 1500 wumpas but can be less I think

@Stocksy ahh fair enough, I do like me a slip case though!

Im quite happy but I wanted to buy wipeout one day to be honest, I never got round to it because that special edition boxart became unavailable.... actually maybe I'm misremembering, I thought it made it look like a PS1 game....

Just realised this article says free games...they are not free when you pay 40-50 a year for them (and other features). I'm not hating on the service but these are not free games. I'll keep my sub up until I finish my 3 year back log of ps plus games...

Boooo

I managed to get enough wumpa coins in the nitro tour to get all the grand Prix items in the pit stop so as long as that's still possible then it doesn't affect me.

I imagine that lots of players will be put off playing though so it might be harder to get into the top 5% to get the new champion car skins next time though.

Having said that, it will probably attract more vulnerable gamers that like to spend tons of money across tiny transactions and that just makes me really sad. I wish games weren't like this. Microtransactions and loot boxes give gaming a bad name.

@AdamNovice ha ha ha I had to look that up, I've never seen it but I thought you might have been talking about movie skeletor, nothing beats moneysupermarket skeletor though!

I didn't realise skeletor was in this game

They're not free games if you have to pay a subscription for them are they?

It's like saying ps plus monthly games are free...or all the film's and shows on Netflix are free....

Forgive me if I've missed some information, I don't know anything about EA Access

Not that these will be the games but the I'd choose UFC over starwars because I bought the latter in a sale a while back and it remains in my backlog.... I played UFC (2 I think) a few years back at a friend's house and I thought it was quite an interesting game so I wouldn't mind playing one iteration of it properly

It's a shame it's not physical

Another game is showing up in the monthly games section called hidden agenda for 15.99. it's a playlink title, could this be added as a bonus soon I wonder?
