Only one game there for me, RE4.

Gran Turismo 7 is my top game of 2022.
I'm not going to renew my ps plus subscription though, as I'm sick of playing it online and getting rammed by morons.
There is tons to do in single player, even if it's only hot lapping. I got a Fanatec GT DD Pro 8nm a month ago. Love the feedback driving RWD japanese classic cars with sports or comfort tyres. I want to start drifting also. Driving bliss. I only use the 5nm power supply as I think it has tons of power.

My subscription expires on 16th December and I won't be renewing. I never really bother with the free games. I only play GT7 daily races. Tbh the daily races are more times not fun, that fun these times. I want to play single player games from my backlog.

Resident evil 2, & 3 are 60fps on pro and RE7 is 60fps on base PS4. I'm sure someone else in the comments has pointed it out already.

I was lucky to get the Fanatec GT DD Pro last week and I'm back playing GT7. But now I'm playing it on my PS4 pro since I recently sold my PS5. I've decided I want a PS5 again because GT7 looks better on PS5, so it's back to square one looking for one 😖. On the bright side, I will only buy the 1200 series with the 6nm chip. So that'll be cool.

RE5 & 6 are complete oddballs and don't deserve a remake. CV is the only place Capcom can go after RE4

I played the original on PS2 and loved it back in the day. Then a few years ago I tried to replay it on Wii and hated it. The graphics were muddy and I didn't like the Wii controls. They changed the way the game feels.

I had basically written the game off as rubbish. Then recently because if the remake in the works I thought I'd try the PS4 version. Wow is all I can say. It is absolutely incredible. I recommend it to anyone who has not played it on PS4 to do so now. It is so good. As for the tank control's, they are what makes the game what it is - a masterpiece. Proper old school.

Not in a million years would I pay that. I'm going to sell my PS5 since the only game I play on it is is GT7 and some PS4 games. I can play GT7 on my PS4 pro.

I'll come back to PS5 in about 2 years, because at the moment it's a very expensive luxury with only 3 or 4 exclusive games to its name.

@Northern_munkey
Don't worry mate, I won't talk to you again.

@Northern_munkey
What people are seeing is Sony changing, from being consumer friendly, to being greedy. Like Amazon.

Sony are starting to sound like Nintendo did a couple of years ago.

@Martsmall
I agree Sony are on a cash grab. They're probably trying to make up ground for all the money they've lost, due to the chip shortage and covid.

The way I see it is, the PS5 is a long ways from mass market penetration. I have a PS5 so I'm not moaning, but with the price hike and Sony are now even charging €70 extra for a pack-in Fifa download code which in the past would have been added in free. The price of the console wouldn't have increased in the past if a game was packed in with the console and the game would have been a physical disc so you could trade it if you wanted in CEX or somewhere.

So until the PS5 is a reasonable price Sony would be making a mistake ignoring the budget section of gamers who can't afford a PS5. Because MS are waiting in the wings with their budget Series s to snap them all up.

Curry's where I live were selling PS5 bundles yesterday. PS5 fifa 23 + headset + extra controller + Lego Star wars for €850
Are you having a giraffe? Most parents cannot afford that.

I'm playing Uncharted legacy of thieves / Uncharted 4. It has taken until chapter 11 for me to really start enjoying it. It took a long time to bite. Really enjoying it now.

I love this game, never played it online though. I just wish the dlc would go on sale sometime. It's always full price. Maybe now they'll do a dlc bundle at a decent price.

I know OLED is fantastic. I had an LG CX which I sold. Last year I went crazy buying TV's. The only thing that stopped me was I ran out of rooms in my house. I have a Sony X90H 55" in my living room and I have my X95H 65" in the games room. Basically a back bedroom / man cave. I also have a X95H 55" in my bedroom. Believe me the X95H is way better than the X90H. The picture is deeper, has more bite to it, more pop, basically incredible. When I connected my ps4 to it, it looked like all my games had a HD makeover. Plus it supports 120 fps at 1080p, possible 1440p but I'm not sure .

I would possibly buy an OLED in the future but it would definitely be a Sony because Sony's picture processing is far superior to LG's. I was constantly adjusting the picture when I had the CX. I don't have that issues with any of my Sony's.

@Dan_ozzzy189
Thanks for that. I'll bin my Sony X95H flagship TV.

@riceNpea
There are too many static images when gaming.

I would pick LCD with local dimming zones over OLED all day. I had a LG CX, and great specs and all but the picture processing wasn't in Sony's league. Plus I was always worried about screen burn. Too many do's and even more don'ts with OLED. I managed to sell it at quite a loss and bought a 65" Sony X95H. I have never looked back. All my games look like they have had a hd makeover and no more worries about screen burn.

I'm not the biggest GTA fan, but this looks very good. The first video is like a scene from pulp fiction. It's cool and it looks real. I'll buy it.

I think it's a very good move by Capcom to release it on PS4. Why on earth would you ignore a 100 million strong user base. Wasn't RE2 & RE3 fantastic on PS4?

@get2sammyb
This is the kind of politics employed by big Phil Spencer. Anytime he has anything to say, he waits until till there's a gang around him.

I gotta say, I do not like Phil Spencer. This "honest" and "he cares about gamers" rhetoric has been grating on me for a long time.
The amount of people he has taken in is crazy. Phil you're a liar and manipulative so and so. I hope this damages him.

For people living in the EU, this would be the equivalent to China investigating MS.

I don't normally read every word in a review. I sometimes, if not always just read the conclusion. Because it's such a beloved game to me, I read every word this time. I think I'm where everyone else is; I think it's worthwhile but only at €20.

The original PS4 remastered version is €20 and even can be got for half that in sale. The original is perfect and that's this versions problem.

I'll definitely give it a go, but I'll wait for a sale. €75 is out of my league.

@rockodoodle
It sounds cool changing the tension in the sticks. You could do that in the first Elite. Unless I knew nothing about it.

This is shocking news. At this point in the PS4's lifespan it recieved a €50 price cut, not a price hike. I'd say it's all down to the price of the PS5's SSD.

I don't think we will ever see a €300 PS5 slim like a lot of people hope. This is crazy.

@JudgeDredd
Hi, thanks for that. Don't know if I'm available Sunday but if I am I'll look you up.

@rockodoodle
Same here. I had the elite Xbox one that came packed with an elite controller and hybrid hdd. It is not worth it. In fact the 'heavy metal elite stick's' cause spring back in the opposite direction, if you let go of them. Waste of money.

@SoulChimera
What track is rumoured?

Pretty good update. I must turn on my PS5 this evening. I find Gran Turismo 7 and all GT games to be very time consuming, which means other games don't get played. I backed away from it a little recently to play other games. I started playing Resident evil 4 hd on PS4.

I played it originally on PS2 years ago and loved it. Then a few years ago I played it on Wii, the supposed "best version" and absolutely hated it. Poor muddy graphics and the pointer is a waste of time and is not the original directors vision. Give me original tank control's any day. Anyway on PS4 it is epic. I'm having a ball. I'm going to give it a few playthrough's.

I love the PS4. I have 2 PS4 pro consoles, one in use and another new/sealed. I also have 2 slim PS4's, one in use and the other new/sealed.

The way I see it is; if Sony were actually making PS4's right now they would sell like hot cakes. Earlier this year Argos had a ton of stock and they flew out the door. I don't think it's fair to compare PS4 sales with the Switch as it is absolutely impossible to buy a brand new PS4 99.9% of the time.

PS5 is more expensive in the UK than the rest of Europe £450 = €537
€500 in Europe.

There'll be no price hike instead we'll see no price cut. PS4 got a £50 price cut just before its second birthday. I can't see PS5 getting a price cut at this stage.

I like physical disc's much more than digital. That said I have bought a lot of digital games this year from the PSN store, all of which have been either not available on disc or have had deep discounted prices.

It's very hard to get a physical PS4 disc into a digital PS5. That's why I bought the full version PS5. It's also hard to sell a digital game if you get sick of it.

There is something reassuring about holding a game in your hand. You own it, you can play it on any PSN account and you can sell if you wish. Rant over.

@nessisonett
I get the feeling this will do very well on PS5 when the price is right.

I choose the G29 over the G923 because the G29 is compatible with PS3. From what I've read the Trustmaster t300 is an amazing wheel that is unreliable and badly designed and will stop working eventually. I very nearly bought one but read too many negative reviews from users.
The next option after the G29 is the fanatec GT DD Pro bundle for GT7 @ €700 and very hard to get as it always sold out on fanatec website. I might try and get one in the future but the G29 is amazing for playing GT7 daily races. Apparently the speed is in your braking technique which I'm trying to learn.

Long story, I downloaded RE 1 2 and 3 on PS3 a few years ago for €7.50. Never played them until this week. Really surprised as to how good and playable they are. Absolutely amazing games, I'm having a ball.

@JudgeDredd
I only have PS plus essentials. Although I think I seen WRC 10 on sale on PSN. I might check it out.

@gollumb82
Yes that's true. I must give dirt rally a blast soon.

@gollumb82
Oh.. I thought this was a new Codemasters game. My bad.

This game has to be amazing. I'm not happy about EA acquiring Codemasters, but this will reveal if EA has destroyed Codemasters or not. I'm hopefully they haven't.
Not digging the commentary on the trailer.

I had a Logitech g29 in the past and sold it, regretted selling it and bought another last week. This week I got totally addicted to racing in Watkins Glen in GT7's daily races.

Genuinely, you really feel like you are driving a real race car, having to pit and change tyres and push the car hard. One mistake and it's curtains. It's incredible.

My first souls game was Bloodborne. It took me a couple of attempts with it, but it finally bit, and I absolutely loved it. I then tried demon's souls on PS5 and on the whole I loved it. Then I played dark souls remastered and I have to say it has moments that are mind blowing brilliant, a lot of moments.

Where I am now is; I think I hate dark souls and demon souls because they are way to heavy and dark mentally. I need a break of about 5 years to recover. As for Elden Ring, it'll be fairly discounted when the time comes, that I would want to put myself through the torture all over again.

@Turismo4GT
Seriously, I would think and hope that when GT sports online support stops, that PD will update the game which would allow 'console saves' and remove the always online saves requirement. It would make sense. I could predict an uproar if they didn't.

Maybe we can get rid of "online saves" since they were implemented by the FIA.

One thing I dislike about Gran Turismo is the inclusion of GT vision cars. I want classic cars not these fantasy things.

@WaveBoy
Tbh I didn't play/test the game that much. My tv will handle 120fps and for the bit I played I didn't notice any problems, either with the frame rate or picture quality at 1080p in higher frame rate mode. In ray tracing on mode I could see stutter. The other 2 modes looked brilliant and seemed buttery smooth to me. I didn't notice the picture taking a hit in higher frame rate mode, but I barely played it.

I play on a Sony X95H 65" TV.

@KayOL77
I'd love a PS5 pro and PS5 slim in the future. Hopefully they'll both happen.
