@Thrillho I actually did briefly look at that. Appreciate the rec. I’ve never been the biggest of platforming fans, but I’ve enjoyed some of them. Particularly if they also have some kind of a strong narrative
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@nessisonett I’ve heard of Horace (maybe it was from you) but don’t know anything about it. I don’t play on PC or Switch. If I ever take the Switch plunge then I’ll keep it in mind
@RogerRoger Yes, it’s a tricky game retailers play. The difference with this one is that the credit expires next week. More like a $5 coupon I guess. But if I don’t use it, I’m sure they’ll drop another one before too long.
As for TLoU2, you’re correct that I’m not likely to replay it for a while and would miss out on the PS5 bells and whistles, so that factors in a little. Although it’s possible a free upgrade might be in order, like Borderlands 3, or Avengers, or maybe even just get a nice free touch-up like Days Gone, but I have suspicions it will be more like what was done with Spider-Man — that is we know that Naughty Dog is working on the Multiplayer piece (not sure if it will be called “Factions” like it was in the first game) and the time and effort it’s apparently taking makes me think it is something quite substantial, reminiscent of Red Dead Online in relation to the single player RDR2. So I think Factions (that’s what I’ll call it) is going to be the Miles Morales of TLoU, if that makes sense. It will be a standalone project, probably be sold for $20 by itself, but come in an “Ultimate Edition” bundle, probably for $40, with the upgraded single player game optimized for Ps5. So similar to Spider-Man, those of us who own the PS4 version are out of luck unless we pay the upgrade fee or buy the Ultimate Ed pack with Miles Morales.
Control is doing a similar thing, only they have no new content that is being bundled with the PS5 version, that I know of. Your “bonus content” is that the game actually runs well and doesn’t lag or crash. (See also Cyberpunk 2077).
If they do decide to offer the PS5 Remaster as a free upgrade for TLoU2, then I would definitely pick it up for $23 now, since that’s close to the floor for the game’s price I think.
It doesn’t bother me as much as other players that when/if I get a PS5 that I won’t get the Remastered Spider-Man content without buying the game again — I got my fun out of it months ago and likely won’t play it again for a long time (if ever). However, if I’d have bought Spidey on PS4 a month or two before I got a PS5, I’d have been miffed I didn’t wait to get the definitive experience.
I have similar emotions as I now continue my Persona 5 playthrough. It’s absolutely my own fault, mind you, because I’ve had the game for ages. But here I sit playing this wonderful game but I’m ever so slightly rankled that I could be playing P5 Royal if I’d have had the foresight to wait. I’m still enjoying the heck out of it, so it’s not that big of a deal, but my brain does think about these things.

@Th3solution I played TLOU 2 on the PS5 and what I will say is its fantastic, the loading speeds and the graphics and how smooth it ran (I had the disk version but didn't want to play it on my year one ps4 it was really struggling in the last year of its life, it actually packed up about 20 days before Christmas) and what I will say is that even with out the upgrade its definitely worth playing if you mange to get a ps5 first.
I am also someone who doesn't replay games much seen as time is a big factor and I don't have too much of it to spare but if they do upgrade it which I believe they will then I will definitely give it another go.
@RogerRoger Hopefully Sony have learnt a lesson from Spider-man will offer it as a free upgrade. But you never know, they could repackage it with the mulitplayer whenever that comes out.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
@RogerRoger No, but I never said there was. It was a bit of a kick in the teeth for people that already purchased the first game on PS4 though. See also Control, which has been heavily criticised for something very similar.

@RogerRoger They did recieve a fair share of criticism over it, just as they did with the price increase to 70 quid for next gen games. Or if there was much more widespread outrage, I missed as I tend to zone out after a couple of days. Whether it was enough for Sony to listen, I don't know.
Not that I have a massive issue with it, but it has made be less enthusiastic about getting even the base PS5 version of Miles Morales.
I'm recommending ea play. Only a 99 cents to sign up on a deal right now. I'm giving it a shot. Think I'll play Dragon age inq. I will also dip into fifa. I haven't played that since ps3. And then cancel my auto renew.
@RogerRoger No apologies necessary, it’s a fair question and point. There seems to be no rhyme or reason for how each publisher is handling how games jump to the new generation.
Out of curiosity, how do you plan to handle your purchase of a PS5? I haven’t bought any PS5 games myself, but I have considered it in my mind. It would seem that you’re not alone in starting your PS5 collection before the actual console is available, as I’ve seen several people here also getting a head start. (Kind of a “forelog” rather than a “backlog”, as it were) Do you have a strategy for obtaining your white tower of SSD goodness or plan to just let it come as it may? Honestly, I thought by end of January that I’d be able to find a PS5 with minimal effort, not this whole ‘stalking the internet with stock monitoring technology’ business that is involved now.
As for my $5, well... it’s going to be left unused I think. Despite my looking over all the lesser known titles in the store, I just can’t get excited enough about any right now. Which is really odd for me — I’ve never been shy to add to my backlog. 😄
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
@RogerRoger June sounds like a good plan. I’m hoping for sooner for myself. Mid March would be nice for me because I have a scheduled vacation then and the way the pandemic is raging, I don’t think I’ll have much by way of travel options.
And yes, RIP Mr. Fiver. I never really got to know you very well, but I enjoyed your company all the same. May your mug be ever filled with eternal mead in the hallowed halls of Valhalla. Say hello to my deceased goldfish, Lightning, and the expired milk that I poured down the drain yesterday.
@RogerRoger Thanks for the offer, but I don’t think I have the availability to take advantage of any notification systems. I have tried some and all it’s really led to is having to stop myself in the middle of a job, log on and fight the online battle for 15-30 minutes. It’s just too disruptive to my work day and I can’t really be at the beck and call of a stock notifier. When I am free I check on my own time; or if I have advanced notice of a drop, I can usually manipulate my schedule to log in during a pre-announced time slot. But being able to drop everything? Can’t do it.
I’m sure C-3PO would be welcomed in the Valhalla of dead and useless items. But I don’t know, even in his dilapidated condition, a Star Wars toy like that still has purpose! 😄

I also bought the ultimate edition so i would not only get Miles Morales Spiderman but the remastered version of the Original too, i didn't have a ps4 or ps4 pro so when i decided to get the ps5 they were number one on my to get list!
Yeah I was (by pure luck) able to get a PlayStation 5 from Amazon.co.uk on launch day, (it was actually my last ditch attempt as all the other sites had sold out by then)
It was crazy, they had announced they would start selling PlayStation 5's at 12 noon (Irish time) but the site was under such strain that it was closer to 1pm before they did, but I was prepared, I had already logged into my account & was on the PS5 page, (which I was constantly refreshing) so when they went on sale it only took 2 or 3 clicks, (as well as what felt like an never ending wait to see if the transaction would go through) and I had it!
By the time my sale was done and I returned to the ps5 page (maybe 3 minute) they were sold out, it even came 2 days later (thanks amazon prime fast delivery)!
I even got a few games with it (which I had already picked out and had waiting in my basket for checkout), in particular I wanted to get Spider-Man: Miles Morales Deluxe Edition (both because I really wanted that game & because bonus it includes the remaster of the 2018 Spiderman game) and I am so happy I did, both are bloody brilliant games and look so good on PS5, and while Spiderman Remastered is much longer (the base game is quite long in itself, but it also has all 3 DLC's built in), Spider-Man: Miles Morales has an extra oomph to it because it was built for the ps5 and uses its power!
@WaveWitch I’m a little worried about being disappointed with the rest of the Resident Evil franchise after having played RE2 Remake. It is so excellent that I think some of the weaknesses throughout the series that you point out are going to leave me dissatisfied. I have a soft plan to play all the mainline games because I really enjoyed RE1 Remake and RE2 Remake so much. From what I hear, I should enjoy RE3 Remake and probably RE4, but it sounds like I may need to stop there.
“We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them.”
Thanks for that, to be honest I spent about 9 hours online that day starting in the middle of the night, between seeing where they would be for sale, reading the info updates on different sites, registering on sites selling ps5,'s etc, trying to get one and I struck out until I reached my last chance (Amazon UK) , and It was pure luck I was able to get one there (with luck like that I should have bought myself some lottery tickets too! ),
I make it sound like yes I got one, but what I left out was, by the time I did, I was tired, stressed out, upset and annoyed at myself for my inability to get one, even though I knew it was such a Longshot that I would get one going in. The whole you can hate me now bit was just a bit of fun!
The Spiderman games are deffo something you can look forward to, I loved them but I was already a Spiderman fan, so the many hours of web spinning fun was geeky heaven for me!
Thanks again, I too have a backlog of ps4 games, I'm working on the Resident evil 2 remake now, I have the Kingdom hearts Complete Package (which I got on sale for €32 euro when it normally costs €109), Jedi Fallen Order, Batman Arkham Collection, Ratchet and Clank, Ghost of Tsushima etc etc not to mention all any of the monthly ps+ games that take my fancy like Man Eater!!
@WaveWitch I dunno, quite a few of us played REmake last year on here and I think almost all of us really enjoyed it. There’s definitely a place for the original style and the fixed camera angles I feel have aged better than 5 and 6 as they help make the games a tighter experience.
I am trying to get through some my back log before I manage to get a PS5, & started playing Mark of the Ninja: Remastered, I highly recommend it. It's a 2D Stealth game very well done that has a brilliant art style, you play as a Ninja you unlock new moves, gadgets, up grades etc. Of your into these sorts of games you'll love it, it's on sale at the moment too in the Remasters & Retro! that I noticed. Not sure how much because I cannot see the price as I already own the game, but I would imagine around £8+.
