@SilenceCZ no you could, you could record through the headphone jack in your dual shock. That recording limit was reduced to 15 seconds.

@SoulChimera @HUMPERDOO stick with it! You can make it happen. Here's something I made and I'm about as art literate as the dude who sticks pencils into his eyes in school;

That was made ages ago. I now stick with music.

Also more importantly for us PushSquare users the games being released are numerous these days. Take another look!

I tried GT online and the drivers are just better than me. No idea how you can make up the gap. Will stick to driving my Yaris like an old lady, which is an unfair comparison as old ladies would probably beat me to.

@Th3solution thanks for the shout-out. That was a huuuge thread and was absolutely awesome. I especially love the bottom 20 ROFL.

@lordzand I get that, but Sony did just hand us 8 games for free. You have to include them in the conversation.

I have already played Days Gone and didn't particularly care for it. You have got more games than me this month 🤣

But what I do have is Zombie Army, Rez, paper beasts and a massive backlog of psplus games. It's not the end of the world.

Sony changed when Kodera took over for the worse in a multitude of ways, however I can't berate them recently as it's been pretty great. As you said narratives can be altered, it's not a narrative if I really do think it's been pretty awesome. Now go and play The Witness.

@lordzand I never said the ps plus were free. I said the free games were free. Which they were. The best of PS4 games are an aside to your ps plus subscription on PS5, they could be classed as free or an added bonus as us mere PS4 owners don't have that access.

I understand your point and in the past (around 2 years ago) I had 6 months of games I already had. That was frustrating and I wasn't getting value from my subscription. But when Sony have doled out a number of good months and more recently The Witness (amazing) Astrobot (amazing) and Rez (very good) I don't understand the flak. You have Oddworld which looks great too.

@lordzand Sorry this is nonesense. Sony have given away Rez, Astrobot and The Witness. 3 of the best games ever and you say they are a door prize?

Then they offer out the new oddworld game and an additional 8/10 game as reviewed by PS in Zombie Army and it's all bad news?

Yes if games are duplicated it's unfair to a degree but let's take the whole situation into consideration. You have 2 PS5 games to play which is the historical standard set on PS4 once the IGC was scrapped. And 8 other games for free. And you already got Days Gone for nothing!

Dreams is amazing. I'm as complete dope and managed to make this;

Civ 6 is massively overrated. It not fun and building up your Legion takes way too long. Tried it 4 times so far and every time it takes a lot longer to spread your area than in civs 2,3 and 4. Waging an early war is suicide and it's not rewarding. The controls on console are adequate without blowing you away.

For your strategy needs go visit cities instead.

This is a PushSquare crew dream come true. Proper awesome niche games which are all mega. Bravo Sony, I did want a break from gaming but REZ I'm coming for you baby!

@Subsided it doesn't matter. Sony have picked up a ton of talent on the back of Dreams. Some of the projects started on Dreams will go on to become release games. My friend is now an animator as an example and another one of my mates has gone on to work for MM themselves.

Dreams flopping* is grim but it's high brow and opaque. If you have the skills they can literally pay the bills.

@naruball haha I wore that quickly before. Sorry Naru it wasn't a particularly engrossing reply. Will do much betterer next time.

@naruball I remember when games cost a tenner, you got loads of free games with magazines and there was about 15 footy games released every year. We can all use examples to support dodgy business tactics but I prefer to condone a multi billion dollar company for gambling in games who's stock holders are rich beyond our imagination.

@Marquez Bethesda have their own fans. For me HZD and Dreams are way ahead than any of Bethesda's output. But to my gaming mate he loves Skyrim and Fallout, so this is a big big loss for PS gamers. He will switch in a heartbeat.

@HotGoomba Underrated comment and a great idea. Have the PS as a main alongside a suitable system for streaming from X cloud. Heck we've all been using windows on PC for years.

I'm loving GTA V at the minute so much to do and what a map.

Comment history number 4/86720

I'm a part time sound engineer thanks to Dreams giving me the confidence again. So yeah I think it's amazing. About to release my latest track on Dreams which is good enough for the radio, with a huge build up and then banging house hits and vocals.

I can't believe there are still people who haven't gave it a go. You have no right to complain about games full stop if you haven't paid the paltry entrance fee to the best tool for expression on console.

I've just finished it.

What a game. Loved it all even the side quests! The texture thing must have been a bug as it looks great bar some weird instances like your flat door.

@ShiningStar I have terrible motion sickness - so bad I actually got it in Dreams a few nights ago when using the UI to find one of my mates on a normal TV!

But there are games which you can play and Astronomy RM makes me slightly queezy but was worth the payback. Don't go anywhere near ace combat I blew chunks.

@Quintumply I would play it with you if you allow me to run a PushSquare Dreams jam for a theme tune!

And you haven't got back to me about that either!

That was awesome! Unlucky Masher and Ven but Sauceless had you! Also GirlfromCroydons shooters are starting to approach release level - everyone needs to give them a go!

The snow gardens is my favourite game, love everything about it. Thanks for showing the show PushSquare and @Quintumply you really should give me the go ahead for a PushSquare jam. You would love it!

Ariana was playing the night of the Manchester bombing. She then came back and played a tribute concert.

All you haters get a life. Her concert was targeted by an ISIS cell. And she's still pumping out tunes. And playing sackboy.

I would love a PS5 but the PS4 is fricking awesome for my needs as is.

@KippDynamite nobody will remember then. Microtransactions - notably loot boxes and rubbish like dlc songs and on release day dlc characters. But hey ho. It is what it is.

Funnily since being more accepting of that nonesense Ive had fun with Rocket League season passes. Which are good fun tbh. But yeah the cost to produce versus retail price plus micros is ridiculous.

With all this new tech I'm worried that only the top creators take advantage of it. A lot of the AA publishers graphics are way worse usually, looking at my PS4 library.

The gap between older games was insignificant really. Last gen there was a big difference between Sony's output compared to every other developer - the gap is only going to get bigger this gen.

@get2sammyb tbf your writing is as good as well it gets in games media. That's an honest appraisal and I've yet to read anyone as eloquent and as masterful with sentences and word play. Your taste in games is questionable though!

On the second squash a body is still there. Put the lottery on pal it's your lucky day!

I know there's not much change but I don't care.

I'm gonna play the best trilogy from 2 gens ago again. For the fourth time. Yeeeees!

@get2sammyb Have you tried this mode yet? With a team you can try to run plays. It's pretty good. Without a team it's absolutely chaotic.

@Boxmonkey it's more than that, everyone who dipped in has now realised how corrupt the system is. So corrupt we end up with crappy companies

I kind of knew about squeezing and facilitating market conditions, but nothing like what's happened the last few days. It's grim and markets are just a front to keep rich people rich.

@Boxmonkey everyone made money, it's weird I've used Reddit for a while and lost some money on the top tips out of that thread. So decided to stick with stuff I know like games publishers and phone / internet networks. Built a decent portfolio and made a few grand.

The GME stuff was different. The hedge funds short failing businesses to make short term profit which has a known side effect of damaging business resulting in closure. A big example is toys r us which was forced to shut due to continuos shorting. Not gonna happen this time and we made money. I made £300 off one share. Gutted I never bought more but I've been stung before.

@ztpayne7 you can get to know them. I just made a tune with Venwave (in the bottom category) called Wizards worth checking out. I chat with Vince Kully and Girl from Croydon (lives in Devon) and was hoping to run a tune with sauceless but alas have less than no time.

@Jayslow I played Oregon trail whilst working my way through 1001 games to play before you die. It is a lot more fun than many of the games in the first 70-80 in the book (it's in chronological order), possibly because it's historical and more realistic than many of the games back then.

@Party_Cannon yeah I agree. I bought it straight after the original review and I'm not a fan either. I did enjoy some of the set pieces and the use of text to frame a scene but it's just too weird for me.

Sackboys Big Adventure has been had off. What a game that is!

Between Fallguys and Rocket League is something called sleep.

The time limited stuff makes you come back for it. Else there's no urgency.

It's like in sales you need to create urgency or customers will walk. That's it and it's not good.

@naruball Hi Naru. Off the top of my head Octane and Pollen. Haven't been on for a while but if you log in there are about 50 good games ready to go. Have a look at GirlFromCroydons shooters or OOODorien who makes a lot of good stuff too. Then music wise listen to Back2Man his tune 2 souls is amazing. There is also1hr 30minute Bee film which is pretty good for an amateur project.

It's my personal GoTY and it's getting better and better and better. I don't think it will get a sequel though

@Col_McCafferty loved the old Bioware but the newer stuff is awful. I haven't played TLOU2 yet. Waiting to see what Santa has in store!

@Col_McCafferty I've got really low standards. In fact I will take that back. It was the second worst game I have ever played after Mass Effect Andromeda.

I know people will be agitated with this result. But then again Dragons Age Inquisition won 6 years ago and that was the worst game I have ever played.

@TG16_IS_BAE what does that even mean? You were free to enter.

We may not be the screenshot equivalent of Steve McCurry or Sebastiou Salgado but every year the pics are better than the companies own marketing grabs.

@Mostik They are losing value every day. People who enjoyed Shinobi as an example are 40 now, responsibility, mortgages, slaving away at work.

I don't understand Sega's attitude it makes no sense.

Whilst other publishers literally rinse every penny from mediocre franchises. Sega with Crazy Taxi, jet set radio, shining force, panzer Dragoon, virtua fighter, Daytona, columns, outrun and after burner, - sits on its hands.

@GamingVeteran what's hilarious about this comment is you have not only insulted the PushSquare community you have insulted everyone who entered. It's a bit of fun and tbh these pics all look amazing blown up at 1080p.

The problem isn't you can spend your money how you want - of course you can.

But as we have all witnessed when the games become so drawn out you start reaching for your wallet - the games been designed to make you do that. That's bad for everyone. What about the time poor and cash strapped? Screw them right?

As for people willing to spend a tenner because of bad game design. You are just rewarding nefarious behaviour from the publishers.

Remember cheats back in the day? Brilliant idea.
No we now have to pay extra for an xp boost. Who's to say the next patch along won't nerf xp gain further making the boost essential? Honestly the whole gaming monetisation rubbish has ruined gaming for me. They are making more money than ever and games by third party publishers are just cash cows designed to get kids to buy vouchers with their pocket money and it's just rubbish.

I love the PS4 Ecosystem of consoles. PS5 is going to have a tough job upping the ante.

The new levels are great!

Although I absolutely suck at them.

@Dr-M cool M. If you like a bit of retro gaming Dizzy is still pretty cool. If you like football LMA Manager was good too.

From 2010 codemasters clearly changed tact internally and other than Overlord I can't think of any other genre they have developed other than Driving games.
