A strange week has come to a conclusion, in which we learned pretty much everything about Microsoft’s next-gen launch plans, but nary a word from Sony. Nada. Nacht. Nevertheless, there’s still tons of gaming to be done on PlayStation 4 for now, so here’s what’s keeping us busy this weekend.

After reviewing several sports games, I returned to the familiar locomotives of Train Sim World 2, a title which I find frighteningly relaxing. Because some journeys take up to an hour to complete, I end up losing a lot of time to this.
Robert Ramsey, Deputy Editor
I'll be starting a new Trails of Cold Steel III playthrough this weekend, in preparation for Cold Steel IV's release next month. I can't wait to see how this story ends, but my memory is in dire need of a refresh. I'll be taking it slow and steady this time around.
Stephen Tailby, Associate Editor
This weekend, I'll be taking a look at 3D platformer Tamarin for review. I know next to nothing about this game, so I'm interested to see how it goes. Other than that, I might hop back into Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 to mop up some challenges and play some multiplayer.
Liam Croft, Senior Staff Writer
I'll be trying to get better at Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 because, well, I'm pretty rubbish at it right now. I never played the original games so I'll blame my lack of skill on that for now.
That’s what we’re playing this weekend, then, but what about you? Jump in the comment section below and let us know.

COD Modern Warfare 'PS4' Trine 4 'PS4' and Paper Mario Origami King 'Switch'
Got the plat on Ghost of Tsushima last night, so i expect i will spend most of my weekend game time on Tony Hawks Pro Skater 1 and 2. Might carry on with the Phoenix Wright trilogy too
I ended up beating Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair thursday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I'll mop up some of the trophies for it & I'll try and tackle King Dice in Cuphead who's currently thrashing me.
Other then that dunno what I'll do beyond some lesson planning... I'm sure I'll come up with something a little more fun then work prep. 😅
Have a good weekend everyone!
CoD Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered! Like it so far, controls really well and looks real good!
Premier League is back baby!
I'm getting close to the Fairytail plat and last night I was doing somw strikes with a pair of friends on Avengers and will probably do that again some evening. But, I have weekend rotation so probably do more gaming on Monday & Tuesday.
@ApostateMage Ha, indeed it is. Almost feels like we only recently finished the last one.
🤔
The football fan in me: Yay!
As a Spurs fan: hmm, great.
I'm into the NFL as well and strangely looking forward to this one more!
😜
Oh and gaming, continuing my journey as the wonderful Arthur Morgan in the mighty RDR2. I'm in the early stages of Chapter 4 right now and missing Clemens Point.
☹️
Happy gaming weekend, everyone!
I will be breaking out the VR headset as I bought a few games in the sale Ghost Giant /Paper Beasts and Arca's Path. Probably finish the story in Yakuza Kiwami 2 as only 3 chapters left although I keep getting distracted by club Four Shine /Majima Construction and other various side stuff, more of Tony Hawk as well and since I recently re subbed to plus a game or two of Rocket League and Fall Guy's. If I manage that and squeeze in Some film and reading time then that'll be a great weekend.
Have a good weekend everyone!
I guess I'll go back to Nioh II again.
Kingdoms of Amalur was delayed for 4 days in the warehouse I live an hour away from. Blugh.
I have a long weekend this week and already I have complete the fantastic Knack 2...seriously can't get over how much fun I had with this game of why the franchise never proved popular.Would love a Knack 3..
Will be continuing my adventure with Tokyo Xanadu Ex and going back to Death Stranding and starting chapter 10.
Also I bought Hotshot Racing on release and loving it so will be giving that a play too.
On the Switch I'll be doing my daily Animal Crossing visit and may go back to Paper Mario in anticipation of the Mario collection out soon.
THPS1+2. Gotta get good enough to get 10 million points in 2 minutes. Then I've started playing a lot of sports games, NBA 2K20, UFC3 and FIFA 20. Two are on EA Play and one was free on PS+ so I've paid about £4 for the lot of them. Oh, almost forgot Tales of Vesperia.
Mortal shell and darkest dungeon.2 of the best indies games ever made.nah f🤔ck that.2 of the best games ever made period.nfl season is back.watching the games tomorrow.and getting ready for my Pittsburgh Steelers .word life.word is bond.word to your mother.word up son
Continuing Dragon's Dogma on Hard and some quest hunters on the side for some light fun. Thinking of heading back to Black flag before the next AC game, and might try AC 3 again for the first time since I chucked my copy out my window when I was younger. (I later picked it up and burned it 😂😂😂)
Continuing evil adventures in Odyssey.
3 hours in Star Wars fallen order and im absolutely loving the game (even though I'm not a starwars fan).
Also Kentucky route zero on the switch
I'm playing 'guess the PS5 price'.
Again.
Hit the 108 hour mark in Persona 5 Royal and I still haven't even reached the new year. So, when I have some spare time, I'll be playing that.
Playing through Fairytail.
I loaded up street fighter and had maybe 10 games with a friend. Not sure I can be bothered to learn a new fighting game and I'm pretty invested in the soul calibur series. I think in need something that doesn't require much time or any brains. So with that in mind i think I'm may play through the modern warfare 2 campaign we got with plus. Hopefully good chewing gum for the brain.
Seeing if I can take what I've learned in Nioh 2 and go back to the original game, which I was terrible at. I'm planning to platinum them both.
Also, The Outer Worlds. I've been a bit stop-start with this game, but I'm really getting into it now.
Finally, Steep. The kids wanted to re-download it so we could throw ourselves down some mountains. With hilarious results.
I'll be playing plenty of Yakuza 0, Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate, and Persona 1.
I'm enjoying the hell out of Far Cry 5! Didn't expect this really. Also, some GRID on the side, which looks great, sounds marvelous and lacks a meaningful career. Still, a great arcade racer. Enjoy your weekend everyone!
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L As far as I can tell(since I have not played the game myself),most of the hype comes from it being ps exclusive and the decima engine,or maybe it is because the main lead is a hot female red head, acting as scooby do ,in the robo apocalypse.
Any way,I was part of the minority,that did not get hyped for the forbidden west.
Jade Empire. Way of the Closed Fist playthrough as Wu the Lotus Blossom.
Picked up hotshot racing and wintermoor tactic club, so will be playing them.
Fallout 3 (Games For Windows) - Finally making my way toward the end.
Flowerz (Windows Phone) - Back on this again.
Secrets and Treasure: The Lost Cities (Windows Phone) - Some of these puzzles are very obtuse...
I'm a good chunk into Act 2 of Ghost of Tsushima.
Without letting out any spoilers, Yuriko's side quest was fantastic.
Metal Gear Solid through my PSTV. Another franchise that's just slipped by for me.
Wasteland 3 for me, what a fun game. You never know what's gonna happen next. Some of the events and conversations are so funny and unexpected. It had me laughing out loud. A gem for sure.
Still addicted to Dragon Crown Pro. I might try to squeeze in Street Fighter V and play some Tony Hawk on Xbox One.
After finishing DEADPOOL (the best ps4 game so far) a few days ago, I'm slaying tons of Orks in Shadow of Mordor. Maybe I'm hallucinating but I think those Orks are respawning from nowhere. I'm sure I've killed 10x same boss (Grut Oath something)... It is fun game, but that respawning is annoying.
I'm playing Tony Hawk non-stop and won't be stopping anytime soon. It's phenomenal!
snowrunner dropped the first big dlc expansion - so that for sure.
@djlard Orcs, they're called Orcs.
😉
Oh and Deadpool best PS4 game? Ha, give me some of what you are having!
😜
Finally beat FF7Remake. 40 hours and 37 seconds. I have to say as much as I loved that game, the last few chapters were really annoying. Just boss battle after boss battle. Didn't help that my characters were only around level 37 as well! Looking forward to part 2 but they can gladly take there time making it.
So now I'm in an odd position. I have so many big games I can start but I'm not quite ready to get lost in another game. With nfl season just starting on Thursday I'll probably play some games that I don't have to pay any attention to. Thinking I'll play Madden 21 because it's free this weekend, and Tuesday after week 1 nfl concludes, I'll play cod mw2 remaster. Figure by the time I'm done with that I'll be ready for another AAA title!
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 and probably start Ghosts of Tsushima for the first time.
Link's Awakening on Switch and pic a pix pieces 2 on ps4. Saving the bigger ps4 games until next week when the next event starts on truetrophies.
Rogue company and trying fortnite due to Marvel mode
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L @rachetmarvel
Myself I was skeptical about the game - didn't get the shooting giant robots with arrows thing - and picked it up middle of 2018 or so when it was £15. I was blown away and regretted waiting so long.
It's the fact that Guerrilla were able to achieve those graphics in an open world first off. The deeply satisfying, intense and enjoyable combat - shooting components off them, sometimes using those components against them, overriding them so they fight on your side etc. The battles are even more challenging than most RPGs. The incredible sound of the machines. The uniqueness of the whole experience - the outfits, tribes, machines, the world, the story - is what makes it great.
Marvels Avengers - about a third of way through the campaign which is great, but it's more of a Ms Marvel game with The Avengers guest starring in it. But the co op and multiplayer are dire ! Missions last about 3 mins and consist of whacking robots and meleeing switches, no boss fights or strategy at all. And considering its supposedly an evolving GaaS, the future don't look bright.
Also playing Kingdoms Of Amalur Re Reckoning, good game but showing its age. The world is totally lifeless
Have a good weekend guys and gals ❤️
Marvel Avengers (I'm seriously loving it), Ghost of Tsushima (now that I cleared area 1 I'll move to the next part of the story), some Jojo PS4 (I want to play the PS3 All Stars jojo game so bad but it's not even in store)!
Maybe some other games I have in my backlog, I have so many it's just sad now...
Well... You do get the option to spend time with other characters and learn more about them. Even acquiring skills to use during the class trials from maxing out your bonds with them so there certainly is a social sim aspect to it @grahamd.
I'm rather new to the series myself and have only played the first two games but there was a bit of an improvement between the first and second in that aspect (Not to mention the second in general having a slew of improvements throughout it)... so V3 could improve on that aspect even further.
From the fact you asked I take it you haven't played through the first or second game?
Can't say for sure as I haven't booted up V3 myself either but it's likely to have a tonne of references and maybe even spoilers to the previous two titles. Possibly.
V3 is the end all of the series from my understanding so it might be a bit hard to play the third and then go back to the previous two.
I believe Danganronpa 1.2 Reload (The dual pack containing Danganronpa 1 & 2) is in the latest sale on the psn store.
Sorry for the lengthy reply... Hope that helps you somewhat! 😅
@Col_McCafferty Sorry, Orks are from 40K... 😂
What I've finished in recent time... God of War, Shadows Awakening, Doom Eternal, AC Odyssey, iF First Light, Medievil...
Deadpool, in comparison to other games, had perfect balance of lenght, progress, difficulty and combat. And that story was awesome. They totally nailed craziness of Deadpool. It is example, that game doesn't need ultra graphics, super tactical combat system, huge open world, thousands quests, milion enemies or grinding rpg mechanics to be fun.
@1_W1NG3D_4NG3L Well hopefully it grows on you because if anything, the graphics and combat are highly impressive. I'm even on a 3rd playthrough but I took a break, can't get enough.
So Crusader Kings 3 still on the docket with little bits of Spiderman, The Flame in the Flood and House Flipper inbetween...lol
Judgement for Loft this weekend and a few more after by the looks of it... I'm going for the platinum
Finishing up God of War 3 Remastered. I went back this last month and went through 1, 2, Chains of Olympus, Ghost of Sparta, Ascension and got all the plats on PS3, now I’m working on the plat for 3 on PS4 before finally playing God of War 2018 on my new 4K tv for the first time
Will be continuing my playthrough of Yakuza Kiwami. Having a blast. There is just something so magical about these games.
THPS 1 + 2 All day, everyday!
THPS and then some more THPS and then some more THPS. God I love this game. Reminders of my youth. So glad they did a good job. Now just need THPS3 to be added and I'd even love Mat Hoffmans Pro BMX 2 as well. That was awesome!
Digimon Cyber Sleuth Hackers Memory like I have for the past 200 hours.
Though bought Moss for £9.99 so will have to get to that eventually.
