The best game to come out on PlayStation in AGES!! Videogaming in its purest form. No openworld, crafting, soulslike crap. Just addictive fun from start to finish. Let's hope gamers & devs take it on board. Let's see more amazing games like this. Still say this should of been VR2 compatible lol 😆
Good, they should of got the message when they revealed this *****. Astrobot was also revealed at the same time, the reception speaks for itself. When are the idiots at Sony going to realise. Stop blowing money on live service crap. Also the news PS5 pro won't have a disc drive is another ridiculous decision by some overpaid clown !!
@Sergo would love this to be GOTY if it does then hopefully the industry will F**king wake up. And actually start producing actual videogames again. Instead of the constant cut & paste openworld bore fests.
@Shinnok789 totally agree, something the industry lost years ago. Except Nintendo, gaming has got to serious & boring, also endless openworld, soulslike, roguelite ***** is getting beyond a joke now.
@Flaming_Kaiser Uncharted a walking sim lol, that just proves how diluded the openworld obsessives are. I love linear single player experiences where you can have amazing set piece levels. Like the train from Uncharted 2, that game is epic from start to finish.
And yet another remaster of game that looks fine the way it is really. Christ its only a last gen game. Why not invest the money in a new game altogether. Love to know who green lights these ideas at Sony!!
@rusty82 yes definitely, Deadspace needs a new game. Yes I agree Lords of shadow is great another one I have on PS3. 2nd one was pretty crap it had its moments but not great. Unfortunately in this ***** show industry its doubtful we will see games like this again. Its all soulslike dross.
@rusty82 totally agree 💯 looked like Uncharted in the Star Wars universe. The PS3/360 era had the best single player experience games in that genre really. Another gem which I love & still hope for a sequel, is Dantes inferno. Such an epic game.
@gollumb82 yes I have an Sd build for steam deck full of retro stuff. But steam as a whole, has some brilliant shmups & run n gunners that don't make it to consoles unfortunately. Which is weird really, considering that's what console gaming used to be all about.
@RainbowGazelle Astrobot definitely the best thing they have produced in years & for PS5. Also I was one of the fools who bought VR2, to be kicked in the nuts with no Astrobot VR. Shows how much faith they have in the platform!!
They say that, but with more AAA single player experiences they would be even more successful. The likes of Uncharted, The God of wars, Killzones. Is what made the brand stand out in the first place.
@Ralizah each to there own I guess, personally I don't like openworld, soulslike games. Even though I get smashed for it on most forums. It works both ways. I like "Linear" games unfortunately I dirty word in today's industry.
@PuppetMaster yes I know, shumps are my favourite genre. But I'm not keen on power up systems like this. I'm old school, not saying I won't give it a go at some point.
Um not sure about this one, the weapon system sounds off. What happened to good old pick ups that increase your fire power or new exciting weapons, as you go. May pick it up, will check out some more reviews. But with regards to game length, quality shmups don't last hugely long its all quality & replay value.
@WaveBoy that's the most frustrating part, the Hugh potential this thing has. And yes ocean descent was/is incredible. Wish that would of been made into a full game of some sort. For me personally it could of been some stunning rail shooter.
I made the mistake of buying VR2 at launch. Brilliant hardware let down by Sony!! Astrobot on VR1 is amazing. When it was announced the new game will be PS5 only. That for me was the end of VR2. I don't care what anyone else thinks. Yes there are some gems out there & a few possibly coming. But it won't make a difference now. The price cut Says it all, off load stock soon as possible. Let's just say I won't be buying VR again especially from Sony!!
@WaveBoy I get what your saying, but for me considering the age of VR2. A revision isn't the problem, it's like you said the killer games are the issue. It seems bizarre how a company can invest in producing a piece of tech, which must of cost millions. To basically not giving a toss about it in the most important area GAMES!!
@PuppetMaster @WaveBoy I get what your saying, but unless you invest and take risks. New hardware will never prevale. That's like saying we won't invest in PS6, what if it fails. VR2 is an incredible piece of kit, so much potential as a new medium Sony & devs should be striving to push this, not abandon it out the gate.
@WaveBoy couldn't agree more mate, unfortunately i think VR2 is finished. Sony has proved this with not bringing Astrobot to VR2, obviously they don't want to invest in there own tech. The demo shown looks stunning, imagine that scene where the water parts in VR. Its damn frustrating we won't experience it.

Re: Green Ranger Tommy Oliver Joins the Roster of Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind on PS5, PS4
Looks brilliant, day one for me.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Design Seemingly Leaked
No disc drive lol, Sony really have lost the plot !! So that means more money for the external drive.
Re: Never Has a Game Looked So Good Yet So Jank as PS5's Neo Berlin 2087

Re: PSVR2 Becomes Your Personal Facehugger for Alien: Rogue Incursion
@nitram2k11 it looks great, i have a VR2, but I don't think this game or the other announcements will save it. Let's wait & see I guess.

Re: Quantic Dream's Troubled Star Wars Eclipse Just Lost Its Lead Writer
Yes another Star Wars 1313 unfortunately, 1313 looked incredible.
Re: Never Has a Game Looked So Good Yet So Jank as PS5's Neo Berlin 2087
@Flaming_Kaiser I agree looks brilliant, my kind of game. The lack of interest in the poll is probably because its not open world.
Re: Elsie Is a Stylish Roguelike Action Game Shooting for PS5 in September
Oh God roguelike again!! Surprise 😮
Re: The Plucky Squire Launches on PS5 This September, Day One on PS Plus Extra
Looks amazing, easily one of the most exciting games this gen along with Astrobot:)
Re: Random: You'll Wish Scrolling Beat-'Em-Up Resident Evil: Survive Was a Real PS5, PS4 Game
OpenBOR yes I have plenty on my retrogaming mini pc. The Splatterhouse ones are great as well.
Re: PS5's Lack of Tentpole Exclusives Isn't Hurting Engagement, Says Sony
@Flaming_Kaiser yes I know surely porting over Astrobot rescue mission wouldn't break the bank.
Re: PS5's Lack of Tentpole Exclusives Isn't Hurting Engagement, Says Sony

Re: PS5's Lack of Tentpole Exclusives Isn't Hurting Engagement, Says Sony
@gollumb82 yes I play my steam deck more nowadays. Because it has plenty of retro style games which I love.
Re: PS5's Lack of Tentpole Exclusives Isn't Hurting Engagement, Says Sony
@wiiware @wiiware agreed, unless you want endless open world games, soulslike, roguelite stuff, then your catered for.
Re: PS5's Lack of Tentpole Exclusives Isn't Hurting Engagement, Says Sony

Re: PS5 Continues to Dominate a Slow UK Games Industry in July
Just proves ***** sells, only game in that list any good is luigi's mansion HD.
Re: Poll: Have You Pre-Ordered an Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller?
@Almost_Ghostly very much doubt it.with the scalpers out there. Sony really need to produce more of these things to stop this from happening.
Re: Poll: Have You Pre-Ordered an Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller?
@Almost_Ghostly no I'm in the UK, all gone.
Re: Poll: Have You Pre-Ordered an Astro Bot PS5 DualSense Controller?
No chance all gone already, no doubt they will be resold for a ridiculous price.
Re: Black Myth: Wukong Builds the Hype with Stunning Final Trailer
More interested in Astrobot thanks, definitely waiting for reviews on this one.
Re: Preview: Space Marine 2 Is a PS5 Blockbuster That's Worth the Hype
Proper PS3 shooter, sounds promising. Did make me laugh where PS5 pro had to be mentioned though. I'm sure the base PS5 is more than capable.
Re: Sony Apparently Planned PSVR2 for PC from the Beginning
@NEStalgia totally agree mate 👍
Re: Sony Apparently Planned PSVR2 for PC from the Beginning
Yeah great news, but PS5 should be the priority. Being as the headset is designed for PS5. Obviously Sony forgot about that small detail lol 😆

Re: Hand Animated PS5 Platformer The Eternal Life of Goldman Looks Incredible
Certainly looks stunning, hope it gets a physical release.
Re: Horizon VR Dev Still Recruiting for Its Big Budget PS5 Exclusive
@__jamiie yep let's just say i won't be buying anything VR again from Sony!! Mugs like me spent £530 on this thing & that's the thanks you get.
Re: Horizon VR Dev Still Recruiting for Its Big Budget PS5 Exclusive
And another reason to see Sony have zero interest in supporting there own headset.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Finally the Right Time to Buy PSVR2?
@WaveBoy that's the most frustrating part, the Hugh potential this thing has. And yes ocean descent was/is incredible. Wish that would of been made into a full game of some sort. For me personally it could of been some stunning rail shooter.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Finally the Right Time to Buy PSVR2?
@JP80 yes I made the same mistake, its just the Sony fanboys that are in denial. And can't face up to it being a failure.
Re: Talking Point: Is It Finally the Right Time to Buy PSVR2?
I made the mistake of buying VR2 at launch. Brilliant hardware let down by Sony!! Astrobot on VR1 is amazing. When it was announced the new game will be PS5 only. That for me was the end of VR2.

Re: Poll: Is the Astro Bot PS5 Controller the Best DualSense Yet?

Re: Astro Bot PS5 Controller Announced, Pre-Orders Start 9th August
Shame they didn't give us Astrobot on VR2 & this controller.
