I'm still on chapter 3 of Wukong. This bloody Tiger yin is relentlessly kicking my ass. Every time I feel close to beating him, the next go ends with me getting brutalised after about 10 seconds 🙁
I know times change but it is frighteningly sad that kids into gaming are now growing up with this trash compared to the likes of Super Mario that we had. Worrying times
The original does have almost game-ruining audio issues where the dialogue sounds like it's been muffled through two cans on a piece of string. At least when playing on PS5
I liked Until Dawn and would be interested in this re-whatever at a reasonable price but it's just ridiculous the price and issues people are having with it
I'm sure they plan to drop the price in the coming months, but honestly even £30 seems too much for this for what it is
I really thought Astro would be unstoppable for me this year but Wukong is really creeping up there. It's not without flaws, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it right now
It really is quite baffling that Xbox have seemingly spent the best part of nearly a decade now trying to focus on getting their own library up to par, spent an absolute f-ton of money on some of the biggest publishers and IP you can think of.. and they still have hardly any titles I want to play. Quite incredible
@S1ayeR74 so what do you want then? What if this doesn't sell and it gives Sony the message that further advancements aren't necessary and the PS6 is scrapped all together
Presumably you bought a PS5 at a price that to others would also seem unreasonable. Why do you get to be the bearer of what's deemed an acceptable price point?
As mentioned, a lot of the "news" bits aren't relevant any more anyway. Sifu, a game I bought, tells me it's (or was) available on PS Plus... in April!
@zupertramp I suppose but I don't really see it that way. Sony have been setting PlayStation up as a premium, expensive console for a while now. Just look at how they're selling controllers for £200 and Until Dawn for 60. I think we may be past the precedent for that now
If they can make a handheld that can natively run PS4 games as well as potentially PS5 and PS6 games at a lower spec, that also has the remote play feature of the Portal, then maybe they're on to something
I'm onto Black Myth Wukong after finishing Astro Bot in the week
Peformance on PS5 seems a little shaky early on which is a bit concerning for how it'll hold later, but I'm mostly enjoying it. I am however absolutely awful at it and still struggling with one of the early bosses. I'm sure it'll click soon though and there already seems to be a satisfying variety with the combat

Re: PS5's New Welcome Page Rolling Out to UK Accounts
Well it's about time!
I wonder how much use I'll actually get out of this, but it looks cool at least
Re: Until Dawn's Movie Lives to See Another Day on 25th April
I've heard that the movie only runs at 24 fps so I'll probably wait for the remaster of this a few years down the line
Re: GTA Online's New Halloween Mode Is So Popular Rockstar's Had to Keep Adding New Rewards
@Cal_ first time?
There were long waits between the initial announcements and the follow ups of GTA V and RDR2 as well from what I remember

Re: PS5 Pro, 30th Anniversary Consoles Now Available at More Retailers
You tease! For a split second I stupidly thought this was about the bundle then 😂

Re: Fans Are Concerned Until Dawn PS4 Could Be Delisted Following PS5 Remake's Release
This whole situation makes me sad tbh
I liked Until Dawn and would be interested in this re-whatever at a reasonable price but it's just ridiculous the price and issues people are having with it

Re: PS5's New Welcome Hub Reportedly Now Popping Up in Europe
It does seem bizarre that this "rollout" is so slow
Re: Detroit: Become Human PS4, PC Sales Evolve Past 10 Million Paid Units
Great game. Glad it's sold quite well
Re: PS5 Exclusives Astro Bot, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Lead Golden Joystick Nominations
I really thought Astro would be unstoppable for me this year but Wukong is really creeping up there. It's not without flaws, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it right now
Re: By the Way, Foamstars Is Now Free-to-Play on PS5, PS4
@Ooccoo_Jr I think it was already on PS+ before
Re: Until Dawn (PS5) - Killer Teen Slasher Snags a Pricey New-Gen Remake
Regardless of price, this is very disappointing. Considering the price, and lack of upgrade path, it's downright awful imho
Surely a "remake" of a 9 year old (still available) game should be improving in every way, not fumbling as this clearly seems to be. What a waste
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for October 2024?
I think it's a good one. Doki Doki sounds.. interesting and Dead Space is great
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 549
Still loving Wukong. On Chapter 3 now and hoping to wrap that up this weekend
I've also redownloaded the original Until Dawn after seeing mixed and disappointing impressions from the remake
Re: Site News: Where's Our Until Dawn PS5 Review?
Everything I've read and seen about the remake seems disappointing but not that unexpected
I've just tried booting up the original though and the audio mix is horrific in itself
Re: Until Dawn PS5 Remake's New Ending Leaked, May Hint at Possible Sequel
I liked Until Dawn a fair bit as I do enjoy these kind of games but it really wasn't that great
Re: PlayStation Begins Pre-Orders for PS5's Chroma Collection, Horizon Remastered, More
@Grumblevolcano yeah that's a bit bizarre and quite a poor error to make (assuming it is an error of course)
Re: Microsoft Is Investigating Why Devs Are Prioritising PS5 Over Xbox
I mean, where do you start? 😂
It really is quite baffling that Xbox have seemingly spent the best part of nearly a decade now trying to focus on getting their own library up to par, spent an absolute f-ton of money on some of the biggest publishers and IP you can think of.. and they still have hardly any titles I want to play.

Re: Sony Fights Scalpers in Japan By Demanding PS5, PS4 Playtime
Only those with at least 5 variations of the well-received Gump Jump series can pre-order
Re: October 2024's PS Plus Essential PS5, PS4 Games Are Available to Download Now
Been meaning to give Doki Doki a go for a while so this will be my chance. Doesn't look like my kind of game at all but I've heard great things
Re: Bickering Begins Over PS5 Pro's Inability to Sell Out
@S1ayeR74 so what do you want then? What if this doesn't sell and it gives Sony the message that further advancements aren't necessary and the PS6 is scrapped all together

Re: PlayStation Fans Gleefully Snitch on 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro Scalpers
@REALAIS ah I wondered why the store wasn't working on my phone
Re: Promising 3D Platformer The Smurfs: Dreams Gets Playable Demo on PS5, Available Now
Checking out the demo now. There's even a "wahooo" in the first minute of gameplay 😂😂
Re: PS5 Fans Want to Protest Against New User Interface Advertising
It looks terrible and obviously a slippery slope
As mentioned, a lot of the "news" bits aren't relevant any more anyway. Sifu, a game I bought, tells me it's (or was) available on PS Plus... in April!
Re: Promising 3D Platformer The Smurfs: Dreams Gets Playable Demo on PS5, Available Now
Nice one! This looks like a winner even if it is somewhat of a rip off

Re: Bickering Begins Over PS5 Pro's Inability to Sell Out
I struggle to see why anyone cares about this
If you want one, you can get one. Great. If you don't want one then it's just not for you. Move on.
The way PlayStation announced it suggested they don't particularly care how well it initially sells anyway tbh, which again is fine
Re: Prospective PS6 Purchasers Would Consider a Portable Model
And you can play the new demake Horizon Zero Dawn Unmastered on your PS6 Portable right now!
Re: As Tony Hawk's Pro Skater Turns 25, the Birdman All But Confirms There's More to Come
Microsoft buying all these beloved IP and doing naff all with them. Sounds about right
Re: PS5 Firmware Update Annoys with Unwanted Deluge of Ads, News Feed
Glad to see this getting some media attention. Hopefully there's a big enough backlash to get the to fix this
Re: Fans Appear to Be Coming Around to PS5 Pro
@Bentleyma 😂
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 548
Black Myth Wukong working my way through the rest of chapter 2 hopefully
Re: Poll: Did You Pre-Order a PS5 Pro?
I'm tempted but just can't justify it at the moment. Based on reviews and my circumstances, I may look to get one next year
Re: Random: Xbox Boss Complains About X Button After Being Handed PS5 Pad
I think Sony really nailed it with the sacred symbols rather than just moving generic lettered buttons around like Xbox
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5 Pro
Yeah looks like they're still available on PlayStation direct @get2sammyb
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Sales Over 20 Million In a Month, Entering GOAT Territory
I'm playing my way through it now and really enjoying it. Good to see it's selling do well
Re: The Last of Us Season 2 Debuts in 2025, Here's Your First Look
Those Pro graphics are looking incredible!
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn PS4's Price Doubles After PS5 Remaster Announcement
@Alps_Stranger I guess it's expected as of course they have sleazy business practices
Re: In the UK, PS5 Pro Has Already Completely Sold Out
It looked relatively easy enough to get the PS5 Pro from what I saw
I was somewhat tempted but just can't justify it at this time. Maybe next year if I can save a bit up over the next few months. There's no hurry
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection
The missus managed to get me a controller for my birthday. Bless her
She could've gone for the Pro though. Stingy
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection
Estimated wait time of more than an hour 😂
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection
@Orange_Juice really though? They could see a million of these Anniversary pro consoles easily
I guess you could argue that the whole thing is hype marketing and might get more sales of all the other stuff but I'm not sure
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5's 30th Anniversary Collection
It's hard to understand who this whole process actually benefits
Re: State of Play Confirmed for Tomorrow, 20+ PS5, PSVR2 Games Included
Horizon Remastered, Days Gone HD, Concord 2, Assassin's Creed 57, Croc: Legend of the Gobbos
Lots to look forward to
Re: Scalpers Want $10k to Try to Buy You a 30th Anniversary PS5 Pro
Thursday will be fun 😂

Re: Two Point Museum Will Hold Its Grand Opening in March 2025 on PS5
Could be interesting.
Seeing those Sonic stands makes you wonder if they could do some kind of Sega museum history thing.
Tbh, I just want every company to do what Asobi did with Astro Bot and celebrate all this great gaming history
