@nessisonett I really enjoyed Vanguard. Didn’t play MP but the Campaign is really good. You play as 4 different members of an Allied Special Forces group called Vanguard and play their back stories - British para, Russian sniper at Stalingrad, a US pilot and Australian soldier at Tobruk. Really good game and I’d love a sequel.
PS5 has sold ever so well and the recent deals (£289 digital) and bundles with Fortnite etc feel like what Sony used to do. Sony is killing it for Xmas.
@JDINCINERATOR I hear you. Killzone needs to come back! And new things. Need more first party games for sure. Everything is so expensive and takes so long to make though.
I’m happy enough. Good console. Library OK. 8/10 PS6 needs something to really make me want to upgrade though. More first party games would help but it’s diminishing returns graphics wise.
@Bizzy I’ve had PlayStation since console 1. I like Xbox and have a PC and play Xbox and other games there. Not everything needs to be unhealthy competition or ‘us vs them.’
This is a great site albeit I joke it’s now ‘Push Portal’ as they push that device all the time!
In all seriousness, language from adults such as ‘PC idiots’ and ‘master race’ etc is childish. Just because Steam are creating a console/PC hybrid that might (it won’t) threaten your plastic box?
Healthy Competition is good. More people playing games and hopefully together is good.
Copilot of Duty.
I would say, just don’t buy this garbage, but it’s not my money.
I used to like the series especially the campaigns but MP not so much. Especially the ridiculous skins.
Microsoft have done well to tank the CoD behemoth.
Fingers crossed it’s a disaster so they think about hiring actual people again.
@StrickenBiged it would certainly be interesting if Sony didn’t release the 6 to compete with the Ex-Box. I’ve got to be honest and say the PS5 would still do better sales than it. It feels to me that Xbox is completely gone.
I’d rather the PS6 came out in 2030 tbh. Still an awful lot left in the 5 yet. New and interesting games wins over marginal graphical upgrades in my opinion. Decent resolution and 60fps and I’m happy.
I said this years’ ago and the narrative was F the UK CMA and FTC. I wasn’t against the merger per se as I felt Xbox needed something extra to compete with PlayStation but I wanted to see due diligence by the authorities. What we got was Microsoft being bullies and many people cheering it on for their cheap Game Pass sub. Lots of people have lost their jobs, games have been cancelled and Game Pass is apparently now Xbox $360. With ads.
@OmegaStriver 100%. Getting the odd £5 voucher on Stars was a really nice perk of buying expensive games. Sony are just greedy. Even Microsoft are still doing rewards.
@themightyant whilst I think ‘live service’ is mostly garbage it also appears to include DLC/additional content for the likes of Gran Turismo, etc. I’m very happy with quality single player game add-on content. I guess it’s a large umbrella term.
@DaveTheRave you mean customers? EA want to sell games to their customers right? I’m not sure what you are trying to say…
The video looks positive so we will see! 25 was OK until all the patches took away heading a goal being a thing. I like how they have directly taken on complaints and wants in the video. Pretty cool.
I do miss PES but that franchise is so dead. Such a shame.
I will likely still get FC 26 as my son loves it too. TBF the teams, leagues and general presentation is unmatched.
I’ve had a good read of Game Spot and others on Metacritic. I wouldn’t personally describe THPS 4 as ‘butchered’ but certainly changed and very different from what they are saying. I’ve never played any Tony Hawk games until the 2020 remake so it does not matter to me but does sound like a missed opportunity and can see why some would be unhappy. That being said all the reviews I’ve seen are overwhelmingly positive and 100% an arcade antidote to the GAAS garbage of 2025. Cdkeys doing £40 PSN voucher for £35 so this is already pre-installed ready for release. Cannot wait. I’m just pleased we are still getting these types of games!
@DennisReynolds I’ve gambled with the standard pre-order. Haven’t seen reviews yet… £35 on CDKEYS got me the £40 PSN voucher required. Bargain (I hope!)

Is it better than remote play on phone? My experience is rubbish. So is the Portal better or will I be disappointed?
Re: GTA 6 Delayed Again, Pushed Back to November 2026

Re: GTA 6 Delayed Again, Pushed Back to November 2026
Probably PS6 2027 launch game then.
I’ve pretty much forgotten about it as I don’t worry too much about games unless they are out in a few months.
The main thing is that the finished article is the best it can be.

Re: Rumour: PS Portal Could Be About to Get Even More Compelling
I keep having a look… not sure I like having to have the PS5 running at the same time tbh and I’m concerned it will be rubbish over WiFi…
But…
I’d be grateful for recommendations and thoughts please!

Sadly it’s a dead franchise. The reboot was really terrible. Maybe it will come back at some point but maybe the games were of their time.

Reviews are there to help inform players/buyers about what they are getting for their money.
Re: Gears of War: Reloaded (PS5) - Iconic Xbox Shooter Is the Perfect Intro for PlayStation Fans
@reddevilcat 100%. It’s the Push Effect. If Gears or Forza Horizon 5 were Sony first party they would be higher scores.
FH5 is a generational game imo.
For context, I had the first ever PlayStation and every console since.

Re: Gran Turismo's Primary Console Competitor May Be No More

Re: Gran Turismo's Primary Console Competitor May Be No More
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare We could do with Microsoft spinning or selling some of these studios off when they go software only.
