That concludes an absolutely colossal week of PlayStation 5 news. Are you feeling more knowledgeable than you were this time last weekend? We hope so! There’s almost a month until the system launches now, so let’s WAYP.

I’m playing Mortal Kombat 11 and FIFA 21. Unfortunately, I keep getting the two muddled up, so you can imagine my dismay when I keep getting red cards for attempting to decapitate Liverpool players.

Despite taking a beating playing Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time for the site, I'm going to be jumping back in this weekend. I want to try and get the last few character skins and work towards getting all the gems. There's also Fall Guys, which has had a serious performance bump on a standard PS4 with the Season 2 update. Now I can perpetually fail at 60 frames-per-second!

It's my birthday this weekend so in-between eating slices of cake, I may not have a whole lot of time to do some good old video game playing. I do have Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time and Amnesia: Rebirth to tempt me away from board games with the grandparents though, and that's a pretty inviting offer.
Let’s all wish Liam a very happy birthday in the comments section below. Oh, and let’s try to get him to share some of that cake as well!

Currently trying to finish games I've started before the ps5 arrives, so that means sessions of Shenmue 3, Titanfall 2, Doom 64, and MediEvil.
Yakuza 4 in the remastered collection. Also ordered 13 Sentinels yesterday, safe in the knowledge that my whole collection and backlog will be carried over to PS5!
Working towards my Stardew Valley plat.
After the News about GoT 60FPS and so on I will wait with that now. Mid game atm. I am into Cold War Beta since 8th of october and I like it very much. Horizon Zero Dawn is still on my list but maybe I should wait with that too to play it even better/quieter .
Happy Birthday for this weekend, Liam!
I'll be playing as a moody teen daemon out for revenge in Tales Of Berseria and also my usual daily intake of Red Dead Online.
Persona 4 golden on the psvita
minecraft on the switch
CTR on the ps4
Super Mario galaxy on the switch
Warzone on the ps4
Lots of variety IMO.
Persona 5.genshin impact.and darkest dungeon.persona is easily best rpg ever.genshin impact is the best free to play games ever.and darkest dungeon is the best indie games ever.thats a fact black.word life.word is bond.word to your mother.word ☝ up son
Still playing 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim. I have a few others to get through before PS5, but for now this has me hooked.
Can't believe the game I'm immensely enjoying currently is free - Genshin Impact. I've got Noelle, Xinghui and Xiangling just from wishes. The graphics of the characters is top notch although some textures in the environments could be turned up a notch. Witcher 3's items are beautifully designed in the menu but GI is on another level with a lot more style overall than P5.
Elsewhere it's continuation of my 2nd run in TLOUII - melee combat and shooting is the most satisfying in this game. Of course RDRII. Then collecting some trophies in FIFA 20 I ignored the whole year. PES 2020, MHWorld probably.
Continue playing Crash 4.
@Iroha I love that game but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to beat Prairie King
I'll be playing waiting for Cyberpunk 2077. Just over one month to go..
Still playing astrobot on PSVR, and it still brings me an unbelievable amount of joy. I'm on world 4 currently, but keep on swapping between doing a few levels and then doing a few challenges to keep things fresh! Can't wait to see what the rest of the game has in store for me!
Besides that, I bought crypt of the necrodancer and mark of the ninja for £2 each on a sale, and I'm enjoying both of them, but neither are blowing me away, probably just not my sorts of games!
I'm chipping away at the Judgement platinum, though i doubt it will be done this weekend. Maybe a few episodes of fallguys to break up the monotony of shogi.
Paladins,its a crystal storm weekend,so I will be saving up Crystal's for the new upcoming champion,Vora.
And I am playing genshin inpact,I just got to AR 20,so I now have Barbara,and I just have to clear floor 3 of 3,of the spiral abyss, than I can get that fire type chef girl,than I will know have around 7 characters and six elements.
This with out paying a cent,and only using the free banner,to get neolle and the ice guy that talks like a monk.
Been playing Bards Tale 4 directors cut and pleasantly surprised how much I like it. Still working on Wasteland 3 and realizing it's a coincidence that I'm playing 2 games from InXile. I only can have one console. In the future I may have to decide if that buyout xbox made will make me switch, but I seem to like playstation better.
Too many games on my backlog but here are some few on my list I'm playing right now:
PS4: Genshin Impact/Persona 5 Royal/Gundam Extreme VS Maxi Boost ON
Switch: Pokemon SWSH Island of Armor/Digimon Hacker's memory
Then replaying FFIX,VIII and VII on my Vita and finishing Pokemon Diamond and Black 2 on the DS
Gran Turismo Sport, Baby!
Still playing ghost of tsushima and genshin impact. Playing ghost without planning to finishing it quickly is fun actually, I can just play 2 or 3 sidequest every night, each play about 1 or 2 hours.
Already finished all of yuna sidequest, now playing norio sidequest, and I think I'm near to finishing sensei ichikawa and lady adachi sidequest. The duels with ronin are fun as heck, I think that's one of the best sidequest
Bought a gaming laptop, so i'm checking out the months free of xbox gamepass for PC. I think the PC and console versions are different, but I think gamepass is overrated, have no plans to continue with paid subscription. Will pick up uplay+ sub for a few months later in the year for new AC, watch legions and immortals fenx rising.
Happy Birthday to Liam, going by his photo he must be turning 18 today right?
😉
Still in Chapter 6 of RDR2, still taking as much time as possible with Arthur. It's become almost a spiritual experience and, due to a recent tragedy in my personal life, a cathartic one as well.
Enjoy your weekend folks!
Ooooh more Hades, possibly more Chains of Olympus on PS3 and maybe start Yooka Laylee and the Impossible lair if it turns up today as saw it cheap. May also need to play Robinson: The Journey in PSVR since it is one of the few games not compatible with PS5!
Happy birthday Liam!
I’ll probably finish off Assassin’s Creed Revelations over the weekend, can’t be arsed with the tower defence minigame. I might get the MediEvil platinum if I don’t die of boredom with the lost souls too.
Slinking around streets in Vampyr trying to be a good guy. Also started Kingdoms of Amalur, which has completely taken over my life. Reminds me of the first time I played Oblivion and the joy of just aimlessly exploring.
So with the weekend off I will collect my last 10 Ravens, 7 buried Treasure & 7 artifacts to plat GoW. I will also play some more Genshin Impact & Avengers with mates and finally will replace GoW with Shadows of War
I'm replaying Amnesia Collection in advance of the upcoming Amnesia Rebirth.
@BamBamBaklava89 Yeah, its probably gonna be the last trophy I get. lol. I hate that mini game so much.
I'm still playing Genshin Impact. I was starting to get a little burnt out after two weeks of playing, but the I got my first 5 star character and it put the wind right back in my sails.
Probably get in a little bit of Dragon Crown Pro and Street Fighter V.
Need for Speed Payback, thanks to PS Plus, and maybe some Division 2, but it's difficult to get into, so Vampyr is the back up. It's the first month I have been bothered to get both PS Plus free games.
Really starting to get excited for PS5. Just got my 16th platinum (Hellblade). Will take a wee break from gaming but most likely jump back into NiNo Kuni : Wrath of the white witch later on. And some more platinum hunting, Snake Pass. 2 trophies to go!
Have a great weekend everyone!
Same as last weekend for me. Genshin Impact on PS4 and some Severed on Vita. Happy Birthday Liam and happy gaming all!
Im on a backlog quest until PS5 arrives. I've just polished off Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, and am now working on Control which is a really enjoyable game.
As its Halloween this month i'll probably target the final season of the walking dead and Man of Medan after that. Im intentionally holding off any RPGs for now as i wont have time before Miles Morales on PS5
Happy Birthday Liam. I hope you have a great time, despite all the covid restrictions!!
Xenoblade Chronicles 2, FFXV & Trails in the Sky FC
Aim to complete 9S run on Nier: Automata and prob start NFS payback. Aside from those who knows
It’s those platinum and perfect relics for me on Crash! I’m nearly halfway though, think I’ve lost half my sanity, I’ll update you when I finish 🤪
After finishing The Outer Worlds' campaign, I'm planning to restart and be even more of a d*** than I was last time
I'd like to play a bit more of Star Wars Squadrons and also make a dent on my Famicom backlog.
DOOM (2016) and Danganronpa V3 mostly. Might open up another game depending on my mood. I have several from my backlog I’m considering.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64) - Mopping up collectibles before heading to Dodongo's Cavern.
The Gunstringer: Dead Man Running (Windows 10) - Passed the tutorial and need to advance in World 1.
AlphaJax (Windows Phone) - Finally got the workaround to work, it just doesn't work on every level.
Happy birthday 🎉🎊 Liam
Playing spiritfarer!
After finishing Shadow of Mordor early this week, I returned to the roots and replaying first game I've played on my first playstation (ps2). It is nothing less than Final Fantasy X (X/X-2 remaster). ☺️ and in spare time I'm trying to find another player for Battle Circuit in Capcom Beat'em Up to earn last trophy. ☺️
However I found out that PS Store has "paid" search system! As PushSquare mentioned before, some games are unsearchable. I tried to find Fahrenheit (found out it was already released digitally in 2016) but even if searching exact name FAHRENHEIT it says that nothing matches and pops up FIFA 21, Fortnite and another trashy games and add-ons, not even matching genre or similar name... The only way, how to find Fahrenheit, was explore all games, filter A-Z and scroll down to "F". I wonder how many games are digged this way in dark corners of PS Store, directly put into forgetting...
I probably won't be playing anything. I got the Platinum trophy for God of War yesterday so that kind of settled my backlog. I also work today - and unfortunately have to close, and then open tomorrow morning. I don't have much time to do anything. I might try out Hades on the Nintendo Switch and see what all the hype is about.
PS4
13 Sentinels...Fantastic game that has me hooked with its over the top story.
Mad Max..Had this on my backlog for years..wish I'd started it earlier,it's brilliant!
Tokyo Xanadu Ex...Chapter 6 and still loving it.
Genshin Impact..I refuse to believe this is f2p..it's awesome.
Switch
Animal Crossing and Paper Mario:)
Enjoy your weekend all and Happy Birthday Liam!
Got Anthem on sale for $6 from Best Buy last weekend, and I have to say that I’ve been having an absolute blast with it. Love the Storm suit and its core gameplay loop - such a feeling of joy flying that thing around a beautiful (albiet with a LOT of pop-in) world, and servers have often been busy with other players (about 50% of matches). I can definitely see how it’ll get stale at some point, but I’m now really looking forward to playing whatever reboot they create for this on the Playstation 5.
Started playing hollow knight again, i love it. Seriously may be my favorite ps4 game. Pretty tough also.
Forza Horizon 3 (Xbox One). Still plugging a ay at this game. I am really enjoying it alot. Just upgraded one of my festival spots and unlocked street races.
Mafia II (Xbox One) Playing the original 360 version. Finished Mafia Definitive Edition a few weeks ago so I decided to start the next one in the series.
Still playing through Ghost of Tsushima. I’m taking my time clearing everything off the map which I never do with open world games.
I did start getting bored with the side quests/mongol camps so went back to the main story and was reminded how amazing this game is.
I think this is probably my favourite open world game and probably one of my favourite games of all time full stop.
Also Hades on switch
Hoping to get some time to play more Prey on PsNow. Started it last weekend but not had ample opportunity to play this week yet! Really enjoyed it so far though
Resident Evil 3 after getting it during the Big in Japan sale...
I'll be carrying on with Yakuza 0 and Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. Also playing Crash 3 Warped. I've reached the end of its story, but I'm wanting to grab all the gems and sapphire relics. Not sure yet if I'll attempt the gold relics or not.
I’m experiencing a bout of gaming burnout at the moment and it’s not fun.
@Gremio108 is it good?? Just downloaded it on game pass and gonna start tomorrow
Gonna be playing some VR for the first time in a while. Wanna finish super hot and rush of blood.
Star Wars: Squadrons and COD Open Beta.
1. Genshing Impact
2. F1 2020 (Eifel F1 GP 🏁 weekend)
3. Crash 4
4. SW Squadrons
If I have a bit of time I'll check out Syberia: The world before DEMO
Happy Birthday Liam!
I'll be playing Genshin Impact, the Cold War beta, and probably some Among Us!
Have a good weekend everyone.
Having just finished Hitman and Evil Within 2 - both excellent.im jumped into hitman 2 this weekend. So far it is a really good sequel.
@nessisonett If you enjoyed the Ezio trilogy you might want to check out Assassin's Creed Embers. It's a short film about the later days of his life. As a big fan of Ezio myself, I highly recommend it.
@Rob_230 Cheers mate! I’m going for a pub meal on possibly the final day before Boris shuts them all down again
Finally started Life is Strange 2, first episode complete. Just getting back to older games while I wait on PS5 and Cyberpunk 2077 😎
@Deljo Yeah, there's great scope for solving quests by talking your way through/out of situations. The companions are great and the quests are fantastic. Enjoy!
the survivalists and worbitol
It was the lego movie game on ps4, which I got the platinum for on sat. Sunday was entirely Rogue Galaxy on ps4. Good game but shows its age although the cel shaded graphics help it stay looking nice compared to polygons in say, FF12 or God of War 2.
Was playing Rebel galaxy outlaw all weekend
