And just like that, there are dozens of video games vying for your attention. Resident Evil 2 is out now, while Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown has been flying around for a few days. And right around the corner? Kingdom Hearts III. In fact, retailers are breaking the street date all over the world – which is particularly frustrating seeing as Square Enix has told virtually all UK publications that it doesn’t have enough copies to go around. We still don’t have it yet!

Assuming it actually works, I'll be putting some hours into the ANTHEM demo. It's obviously too early to say whether BioWare's looter shooter will be a success, but I do think the demo shows promise. That said, it's definitely rough around the edges. We'll have to see how it goes.

This week I am strapping up with Resident Evil 2 and heading into Raccoon City for my first day with the RPD. I sure hope it goes well! Now, if I can just get through this first shift without anything major then I’ll be able to make it to the release of Kingdom Hearts III.

After getting Platinum Trophies in Rick and Morty: Virtual Rick-ality and the awesome Astro Bot Rescue Mission last weekend, I'm going to shoot for one more Platinum Trophy in Need for Speed (2016) this weekend before Kingdom Hearts III finally comes out next week.

While the release for Metro: Exodus, my most anticipated game of the year, inches closer, I'm trying to whittle away at my backlog, but it just keeps growing! I'm in the middle of Ace Combat 7 now, and my copy of Resident Evil 2 will be arriving shortly. It never ends!

This weekend I’ll be diving into BioWare’s ANTHEM demo – if the servers come online! Other than that, I think I’ll be playing some NBA 2K19.

After procuring the Ripto’s Rage Platinum, I’ve started up Final Fantasy 15. A mere few hours in and I’m already besotted with its gorgeous open-world, magnificent creatures and already finding myself making emotional ties with its protagonists.

After months of waiting I finally got my hands of The Walking Dead: Final Season, it’s wonderful seeing the game flourishing after the sad end of Telltale games. Carrying on with the zombie theme I’ve also been playing the Resident Evil 2 Remake for review and now the embargo has lifted I can finally finally talk about how incredible this game is. It’s cinematic, atmospheric and truly unnerving. I can’t wait to see where Capcom go next.

This weekend I will be checking out the ANTHEM demo. At first I was sceptical about the game but from the looks of it it looks really well polished. Other then that I will be playing more Diablo III completing seasonal challenges.
There's lots to be getting on with, so what are you playing this weekend? Let us know your itinerary in the comments section below.
Comments 63
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age, i'm doing some hunts
Nier: Automata, Hitman and DB FighterZ on PS4.
Dynasty Warriors Next and 2064: Read Only Memories on Vita.
Resi 2 remake later on tonight when I get chance, and hopefully most of tomorrow
Persona 5, Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and Super Mario Galaxy.
Resi 2 all the way, just made into the sewers. I might dip into RDR2 online for short bit to get the extra gold bars they are giving away if you play this weekend. Plus some more Witcher 3:Blood and Wine probably.
There was a time when I would only play one game at a time before moving to the next, and I still try to, but too many games and not enough time.
Today im playing fix my mother in laws kitchen sink and thermostat. Not my favorite game at all. After that maybe okami hd and contiue on with AC Odyssey. 😞
Horizon Zero Dawn , just gets better and better.
I'll be continuing with SAO: Fatal Bullet - enjoying it very much so far.
Lost Sphear (im liking more than Setsuna...i dont get the hate), Gravity Rush 2 and maybe more progress in Uncharted: LL
Start playing Resident Evil 2. It's been sitting on my desk since yesterday.
I'll be playing Ace Combat 7 in VR.
It's bloody difficult though!
Just went back to the classics Dishonored 2 and Witcher 3 since GoW decided to throw the credits in my face when I least expected. Horizon didn't do that to me, gave me a lot of game time.
Anyway so I finally took part in assassinating the crazy King Radovid, can't believe I always missed that after about 4 playthroughs. And then trying to learn every power in Dishonored 2 on my journey to platinum.
AC Odyssey. I've just done a touching little quest helping an orphan girl who'd 'made' new friends...out of clay. Fantastic game.
I have about the same 5 or 6 games in my rotation for the last several weekends, so I’ve very little new to report. I think I might finally finish Papers, please. Not that it’s a long game, it’s quite short. But I keep having to restart because I mess up. If I can also finish Ch 4 of RDR2 then that will be a successful weekend.
Just finished Spiderman and got the platinum trophy. Fantastic, very impressed with it, a great experience.
Just about to start the final character story in Birth by Sleep. Should beat that and then move onto 0.2.
Not long now!! The last WAYPTW of a pre-KH3 world.
Resident Evil 2. Claire first playthrough, then Leon. This will be the main game I play for the next several weeks.
Metro 2033 for me and finally finish Astro Bot Rescue
Taking a break from Final Fantasy XIV, so I'll be focusing more on Secret of Evermore.
Since I knew I had little time this weekend I didn't buy RE2 and I'm patiently waiting for KH3... I will buy Resi on a sale...
So this weekend I'll play with Vr, overwatch and super smash bros
@spakai Gets even better with the Frozen Wilds.
Far Cry 5 and Valkyria Chronicles 4 in the afternoon and then Spyro Trilogy later on..then when it gets really late I'll be be scaring myself silly playing the fantastic Resident Evil 2.
Oh and not forgetting I'll also be fitting in a couple of episodes of The Punisher Season 2 on Netflix.
What little free time I've got this weekend will be spent playing the very enjoyable Resident Evil 2 Remake.
Got the plat in Persona 5 dancing in starlight last night and continued with Life is Strange Before the Storm. That was the plan for the next few nights but then a little game i have been waiting 13 years for which may or may not feature a variety of disney properties landed on my doorstep this morning.
Got access to the dreams beta too so will check that out. For anyone waiting for an email. Dont! I havent heard a thing. I received a message via PS messages saying it had been added to my library and there it was.
I still wonder if a public beta will be released given it very clearly calls it a creators alpha!
Played a good bit of Anthem demo and it’s sold on me, love the flying and combat and find the world beautiful to explore. Will play more and hopefully try out a stronghold activity with fellow PS heads. Aside from that I’m going through AC: Odyssey which starting to feel like one of my favourite games of all time, I absolutely love it! They will probably be some Smite, Blackout in there as well
Pubg & Anthem (when it works)
Windows Phone:
Minesweeper - Great time waster.
Angry Birds Seasons - Valentine levels now.
Game Boy:
Pokemon Red Version - Making my way towards Saffron City now.
RDR2 half way platinum and relive some memories with RE 2 remake can’t forget cup of tea and Oreo cookies
Completed the battlefront 2 campaign, quite enjoyed the first part, the second added bit might need you to have watched the Disney cartoons, not a scoobie who an entire faction is meant to be. Unlocked the new count dooku so might give heroes vs villains a go. I'm going to be playing mass effect for the first time on Monday (day off) and have just started to load fallout 4 up on the ps4 (never played either). I'm fearful for my free time!!
Smash brothers ultimate: game that keeps on giving:)
Hitman 2 and Ni No Kuni 2. I guess it's all about the "2's" today.
Been playing shadow of the tomb raider all week so I can't see that stopping. So far really enjoying the game. Not sure why so much shade was thrown at it when it launched
I'm hoping to complete a game I'm currently reviewing, then I want to get back into Spiderman.
Red Dead Resumption
Resident Evil 2 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
@BearsEatBeets how many gold bars are they giving away? I've uninstalled this for a bit as it's massive but if they are giving away a fair, I might install and play!!
Just killing time until Tuesday.
I picked up Mothergunship during the holiday sale and hot damn that game is fun.
I’ll be a little busy this weekend as well. But I did start playing Spider Man and I’m enjoying it so far. Most of my gaming will go to the Switch since I’ll be moving around. Smash Bros Ultimate.
Just Cause 4.
No, I can't think of anything more to say, except: remove this stupid limit if you're going to post questions where a short answer is perfectly acceptable.
God of War PS4. This game is great but took me a while for my brain to get used to the controls. The amount of times I ran up to enemies smashing square and triangle only for nothing to happen, was very frustrating and made me yell expletives. But i’m used to it now, and it probably does make me more deliberate when using the shoulder buttons, which I guess is what they were going for.
I can't seem to pull myself away from Final Fantasy XIV at the moment. Started levelling a White Mage and loving my first go at healing in the game so it's all I seem to be doing atm.
If I can drag myself off it I'll be spending some time on the Anthem demo and some more Ace Combat 7.
Anthem demo and AC7
On the PS4, some shorter sessions of racing with: Ride 3, V-Rally 4, Nascar Heat 3, and Dakar 18. I'm also starting a new Championship playthrough in MotoGP 17, this time playing as Maverick Viñales, one of the riders I'm cheering for.
On PC, I bought Assetto Corsa Competizione on Early Access this week. Not much content right now, but I really like what the devs are doing with this title, it looks and feels great. Also playing some Automobilista, this time in the Brazilian Touring car series. RaceRoomRacing as always, continuing a custom GT4 championship.
@gingerfrog Because too many gamers share the same persona ... almost like the Borg: gotta agree with the Collective Mind of Good Gaming Taste
@R1spam It's 5 gold bars. Knowing how long it takes to earn them I'll log in for a short session for freebies.
RE2 and some Destiny 2 as well, finally got the Shards of Galanor exotic to drop for my Hunter so I'll be abusing enemies with those until they get nerfed next week.
Yakuza 0 for me. Currently at the beginning of Chapter 10. I really want to knuckle down and finish this soon as this year is all about my backlog. Want to finish as many games as possible before buying more.
Ridding Los Angeles of scumbags in L.A. Noire.
Racoon City of course its resident evil 2
Kingdom Hearts 3 for me, as it was released a little earlier in France. So far, so good, I'm glad to be reunited with these characters.
Been playing KNACK but got Dragon’s Dogma and Shadow Of War today for $30 combined. Lots of rain so gaming all weekend!
Weekend backlog matinee: featuring Deadlight, Dark Souls Remastered and Horizon Chase Turbo!
Away on holiday, which mean travelling with the ps vita. Playing rainbow skies and still loving this game.
@TheArt Nice to know , i got the complete edition.
I am all over Resident Evil 2 remake like a zombie on a corpse!!
I have just reached a point in Resi 2 where I have died about 20 times in a row. Won’t say too much but involves G and crane. I’ve loved the game so far but this part has really annoyed me to the point I’ve switched it off. I’m sure I’ll master the exact timing eventually but need to leave it alone for a bit now.
Ploughing through dragon quest with some stardew valley on the side and maybe some Styx (it’s not bad)
AC: Odyssey and Judge Eyes though I'm stuck on one mission in Judge Eyes. Some MHW too
I'll be playing Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds on my 3DS and God of War on PS4.
Life is Strange 2 E2
Tonight is my Friday night (taxi driver) and I'm about to get only my 3rd platinum ever.
Just need one more skill point to get the HZD plat! My last for a couple of years or so as my wife is due to give birth to our 2nd in next couple of weeks.
@Bonbonetti I reckon your a fan of racing games!
@MinerWilly Yeah it's my main "staple". My interest in motorsports is what got me into gaming as a hobby. It's all about role-playing for me: my chances of racing in Formula One or MotoGP are pretty slim in real-life, but in video games I can do that. It's not that I dislike other genres in any way, but with limited time and money I want to focus on what I enjoy the most. Racing games also never get too old for me, I still enjoy playing PS1 racing games.
