An updated screen would be welcome even though I think its great on the original portal. Universal bluetooth is an addition I'd be willing to upgrade for however
Played for a few hours yesterday, loaded it up today and uninstalled after one match. Its just so bland, uninspiring, and derivative. I give it til the summer, hope the devs land on their feet!
Played about 3ish hours with my kids since we're snowed in at the moment. Game is the epitome of just okay, not really anything special about it. 3v3 seems way off based on the map sizes. Lack of real progression and depth aren't doing it any favors either. Don't see this one lasting too long tbh
It's such a terrific device, well worth the price. Id say these days maybe 60-70% if my Playstation gaming is on it. 100 times better than using a phone or tablet. Really looking forward to the next evolution of it
Despite a shockingly poor rollout, I hope this game finds an audience and does well. Ill try it cause its free but highly doubt I'll spend any chunk of time with it.
Will buy it in both platforms at launch for sure. Fingers crossed they implement some type of cross progression this time! Excited to see what they have for us in a few hours!
Fingers crossed after seeing the FH5 sales numbers on PS5 they change their direction & make 6 day and date. Doubtful but would be a welcome surprise. I'll be getting both versions at release regardless
Solid game, I recommend muting the voice over volume immediately and just skipping the cutscenes altogether, you won't miss much "story". Hopefully the MP picks up as well as some of the modes are pretty fun!
All I want is a FH6 release date, fingers crossed their current troubles have made them rethink the staggered release!
Though I have absolutely no interest, expecting Starfield, Avowed and all the rest to finally come over as well. Funny an Xbox showcase is now akin to a 3rd party one like Ubi or EA at this point lol. How times have changed
I usually not a deck builder game fan, but I'll give this a shot. Hundreds of hours of Vampire Survivors on multiple platforms. Hopefully this one sticks!
Personally no, I'm very very interested in one (depending on price) but it doesn't effect my intent to game on my PS5, or 6 whatever that ends up being. I don't see a scenario where PlayStation isn't my 'main' console but looking forward to having this little thing under my TV in time
Sounds like a woeful miss, hopefully PMR delivers. I still play GT7 pretty regularly but would like a different flavor. This one doesn't sound like its worth the time at release.
My kids are teenagers, part of the "tiktok generation" and I can confidently say that is categorically not true. Just like Bond's comments, I highly doubt he'd be saying this if their hardware sales were even remotely close to Sony/Nintendo
If it came to plus I'd give it a shot but certainly not buying it. Played enough of the franchise and with no real nostalgia for it, I don't have plans to play more of it.
@pharos_haven VF series never really clicked for me unfortunately. Tried a few of them but could never find the "rhythm" of it if that makes sense.
The SC2 Adventure mode is sensational, many fond memories playing through it with my brother. I missed getting the PS3 release but I really do hope it gets re-released eventually
@Dodoo 100% agreed with the banter, not just this game but most arcade racers nowadays (NFS, FH5 etc). First thing I do before even playing is mute the voice volume in the settings, offers nothing of value
As for the update, definitely a welcome one. Ubi makes a lot of mistakes but they support their games long term which is always awesome. Excited for the changes!
So the reward is having the right to buy overpriced t-shirts lol. One area where Xbox/MS definitely trounces Sony/PS is with rewards, this is quite lackluster
No, we got one when Tekken 2 came out. Traded in all our SNES/Genesis consoles & games and had just enough! Was the only game my brother and I had for like a year afterwards but we definitely made the right choice! Thank God for those demo discs lol!!
Was able to snag another one of the controllers yesterday, was much easier than expected. I was able to get order through in less than 5 mins. Good luck to those who want one!
100000% yes. Sucker Punch has more than earned my business with every release. The first Ghost was impeccable, didnt even watch the SOP, easy preorder decision the day it was announced!
Been on it most of the day. Looks phenomenal on the Pro and I'm having a great time with it thus far. Couple crazy bugs but has been pretty solid stability wise overall
@Chidoro hasn't been said 100% either way yet unfortunately. Part of me would love to have all my cars from the start but the journey to collect em is part of the fun too! Guess we'll have to wait on that tidbit
@KingPev yeah I've gotten 100% of the achievements already but would love to do it all again!

Re: Hands On: Highguard Is Real and Potentially Great on PS5
Played about 3ish hours with my kids since we're snowed in at the moment. Game is the epitome of just okay, not really anything special about it. 3v3 seems way off based on the map sizes. Lack of real progression and depth aren't doing it any favors either. Don't see this one lasting too long tbh
Re: Highguard Finally Breaks Silence, Watch the Launch Showcase Next Week
Wish them the best of luck, they have a tall mountain to climb. I'll give it a go when it releases

Re: First PS Plus Essential Game for January 2026 Leaked Early
Solid game, I recommend muting the voice over volume immediately and just skipping the cutscenes altogether, you won't miss much "story". Hopefully the MP picks up as well as some of the modes are pretty fun!

I usually not a deck builder game fan, but I'll give this a shot. Hundreds of hours of Vampire Survivors on multiple platforms. Hopefully this one sticks!

Personally no, I'm very very interested in one (depending on price) but it doesn't effect my intent to game on my PS5, or 6 whatever that ends up being. I don't see a scenario where PlayStation isn't my 'main' console but looking forward to having this little thing under my TV in time
Re: Mini Review: Rennsport (PS5) - A Sim Racer That Just Can't Match the Competition
Sounds like a woeful miss, hopefully PMR delivers. I still play GT7 pretty regularly but would like a different flavor. This one doesn't sound like its worth the time at release.
Re: Gran Turismo 7 Gets First Paid DLC in the Power Pack, Out 4th December
Still play this weekly, looking forward to the new features!
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate State of Play for November 2025?

Re: PS Portal Gets So Much Better Today in Huge UI, Cloud Streaming Update
Gamechanger! So glad we eventually got here with the portal! Hopefully we get a sale on black friday and I'll pick up another one!
Re: Talking Point: If Xbox Drops the Cost, Would You Be Happy Still Paying for PS6 Multiplayer?
Most likely yes, I rarely play multiplayer but personally get a decent amount of value from the other aspects of plus so its worth the cost to me
Re: Talking Point: Is PS5 Really in Competition with TikTok?
My kids are teenagers, part of the "tiktok generation" and I can confidently say that is categorically not true. Just like Bond's comments, I highly doubt he'd be saying this if their hardware sales were even remotely close to Sony/Nintendo
Re: Rumour: PS Portal Could Be About to Get Even More Compelling
Men I love the portal! The experience just keep getting better, hopefully this is true!
Re: Poll: Will You Be Buying Halo: Campaign Evolved on PS5?
If it came to plus I'd give it a shot but certainly not buying it. Played enough of the franchise and with no real nostalgia for it, I don't have plans to play more of it.

Re: Mini Review: Tekken 3 (PS1) - PlayStation's Definitive Fighter Is Still King
One of the best fighting game releases ever, so glad to be able to play on modern consoles. Hopefully we get Soul Calibur 2 in time as well!
Re: From NASCAR to New Islands, The Crew Motorfest Is Going All-In for Year 3 on PS5, PS4

Re: Sony Is a 'Terrible Company' That's 'Blowing It in the Games Business', Says Michael Pachter
Remember when he said the PS3 was going to be the last generation of consoles lol. Its a travesty that we are still giving this guy attention in 2025.

Will mess around with on the cloud then purchase the PS version day one. Hopefully the wait isn't too long!
Re: New PlayStation Rewards Program to Offer Exclusive Merch, Starts Today
So the reward is having the right to buy overpriced t-shirts lol. One area where Xbox/MS definitely trounces Sony/PS is with rewards, this is quite lackluster
Re: Poll: Did You Buy a PS1 at Launch?
No, we got one when Tekken 2 came out. Traded in all our SNES/Genesis consoles & games and had just enough! Was the only game my brother and I had for like a year afterwards but we definitely made the right choice! Thank God for those demo discs lol!!
