I'm working my way through the trophy list for Crash Bandicoot 2. Mostly just gems and relics left I think

I also hopped back into Returnal again this morning, eternally hoping that I can regain enough skill to slog my way through to get the remaining cypher trophies

I need to get back to Returnal soon as I'd love to finish off the last few trophies but the random aspect to it was quite offputting last time I tried.

The game itself was brilliant though so I'm definitely day one for this new game

When the only real complaint is that we wanted more of it, it has to be a 10 for me. Finished off the platinum yesterday on this

I think my body will sadly rot long before all these physical games

Who designs this? 😂 It'll still sell because people like TLOU but this looks awful

58?! How much money do you think we have??

For real though I think these pieces are great so thanks for putting this together. Some real gems in here at really great prices

Also didn't know this was a thing in general, but it kind of makes sense

I'm not much of a reader but might look into this further

Most interesting bit from this is it still seems at least 2 or 3 years a way

Great to see. It's brilliant and deserves all the success it gets

It's definitely a bit scummy but I'm not sure it's that much of a problem

People pay more for early access to all sorts of things elsewhere

Split Fiction is where it's at for me. We're 3 or 4 chapters in and it's been an absolute blast so far

Looks like it'll be based much more off of the PS1 versions of 3 & 4 then

As someone who emulates old games a lot and still has physical copies of all these, I'm quite fortunate that this doesn't bother me too much

OK, there's this limey, some music industry slimeball, goes by the name of Kent Paul..

Played a couple of hours so far with the missus. Very hectic start but we're both loving it

Hazelight is probably my favourite studio right now

I get it's kind of news, but also think this is a bit too much of a spoiler to have as a news story today

Interesting idea tbh but I'd much rather just own outright.

I'm sure there are plenty of deals and credit agreements that would let you pay monthly over a set period as well which would probably work out similar to this cost wise

Brilliant. Looking forward to starting this

I think it makes sense given there's no Series X upgrade like the PS5 Pro. Also makes sense to try to beat the competition to market and have the most powerful console etc etc

I also don't really care fwiw 😂

Oh hell yeah let's goooooo

Returnal is still my favourite game this gen I think so super excited for this based on the premise and developer alone

Until Dawn (PS5) — £46.79

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Another shout for Snake Pass. That was a brilliantly unique game

Have also been waiting for Sekiro to drop below 30 quid for 84 years now

Still have a physical copy but it's pretty much the last game I haven't gone digital for

Feel like I'd almost go for it at £29.98 at this point..

Xbox's approach has been weird/terrible for ages now. Just make games ffs

My work laptop barely runs normal PDFs to be fair so curious if this could work

I only have it set to save the videos for platinums, which I do occasionally go back and watch tbf

Wouldn't use it for every trophy, but it's a nice little feature to have available

Merry Christmas all 🎄

Still the best gaming website in the world. Thank you to all staff members, contributors and all who comment to make this place what it is ❤️

Such a weird world we have

I didn't watch but just seeing all the announcements here and it sounds like it was brilliant. Lots of games that have a high interest for me

Just give it GOTY already 😍

They should bring the wishi washi window cleaning eye toy game back for this

I don't often enjoy watching other people play as such, but I definitely spend more time watching game related content than I do actually playing games myself

Same goes for listening to podcasts or viewing this website tbh

Here's to another 30 hopefully!

It's cool they've done something but these are all a bit tacky tbh. There would have been plenty of other ways they could've celebrated this properly

Sacred Symbols + Push Square = <3

Possibly but I think probably not tbh

I'm gonna get the new AYN Odin 2 Portal soon and will be using that as my all in one handheld that can likely just do far more than Sony can put together at this time

It's a cool addition to the Portal that probably should've been there from the start.

I find it mad how slow the rollout for cloud streaming has been. This is something that was available 10 years ago on Vita!

There seems to be a change of approach with this every other year and we're still no wiser to what the end goal for this will be

And that applies across the industry too. Stadia worked well but was an absolute mess marketing wise. Likewise, Amazon Luna is almost completely unknown. Xbox seem the most vocal about their service but even then I'd have thought they'd give it more promotion by now

D*ck moves all round I think, and not surprising given the teams involved

Rockstar are obviously one of the greatest developers/publishers in history and I love many of their games as some of my favourites, but there's a lot to really hate the behind the scenes by many accounts

Definitely a weird time we're in now. This game came out 4 years ago, and yet we've already had 4 different "look how much better it is here" comparisons.

I get these games are huge budgets and it makes sense from a business point of view to milk over a longer period of time. But it's a bit nauseating to see the same handful of games over and over again

All these companies are so out of touch it's crazy

Games like this will cost peanuts to develop and with the in-house licences they already have should never be running at a loss

What a mess

Sega Mega Mega Collection version 296 coming soon

I'm in between wanting it later down the line and tbh likely will just give it a miss altogether. It'd be hard to justify the outlay even at a reasonable cost but £700 is just too much at this time

I'd also want a newer TV to take full advantage as well and then obviously you're talking about a couple grand at that point

I mean it makes sense but seems a weird thing to openly admit

Yeah I really hope there's a platinum for this. Either way I'm actually really looking forward to it though

"After much thought" but apparently zero thought over the past however many years

Move over Astro Bot, we've got a new game of the year contender!

@Galv "essential" but it's 1200 games on sale 😂

Quite funny that you get this news and the "there's not creativity in gaming now" articles back to back!

Strange times

There are just too many games and it's constantly adding to the pile

New games aren't only competing with new games, they're competing with the entire history of gaming!

It's a problem in almost every entertainment industry but with the bigger problem that games aren't as easy to just watch or listen to like a movie or music

This is just all inevitable and I'm not sure there a solution to be had

Awesome. Nice way to release this as well over the next few weeks

Live service shines again!
