Only caught the last few minutes. For me it looks like something I'll try later on in a sale. I think as long as it is bug free with competent gameplay this could still be a big seller. A good marketing campaign with this brand and it will probably do very well.

@Cornaboyzzz Yeah when I saw some stuff on twitter I thought this might happen.

@carlos82

@ApostateMage right there with you buddy

Really looking forward to this one. Only a few more weeks to go.

That would be extremely disappointing to me personally if it's true. I have zero interest in the idea. I'll try and keep an open mind though as Rocksteady deserve some trust.

Apparently quite a lot 13/15. Although replaying the start recently helped with a couple.

When I finally get the game and make it to this bit I’m going to see if I can make a knot.

I saw the tweet and apparently it is the work of an extremely talented developer called Jaros Sinecky. It’s cool seeing other developers commenting on how difficult it must have been to implement.

Unfortunately I haven’t received my copy of TLOU 2 yet so consoling myself by carrying on with HZD and dallying in RDR online.
Plus football is back so gaming less this weekend.

I pre-ordered a while back from The Game Collection. They promptly posted it first class yesterday morning but Royal Mail have decided first class is 2 days for me it seems. Oh well, hopefully it gets here fairly early tomorrow.

Has CD Projekt said what time the Night City Wire stream is? The only info I can find is the day.

If the PS5 comes out before I'll definitely play it on that, but if not I'm not waiting. Even if I end up switching mid playthrough I'm starting this game as soon as it launches. It certainly seems like it will have plenty of replay-ability so I can do another run after the meatier upgrade next year.

I missed the show as I was working. Sounds like I didn’t miss much. I’ll check out the Star Wars gameplay shortly. I don’t believe the Mass Effect remasters rumour, surely if it was coming this year why would it not be announced?

It's a shame as I had the week off when it was scheduled to release. Still, I firmly support their belief in releasing the game as polished as possible.
I've already got the PS4 CE pre-oredered so if the PS5 is out by then hopefully it will be patched up to play better on that.

@TheNewButler yeah, I thought the same. It looks like a sloped disc shape in both pictures so think it's probably the same stand. If it's required regardless of orientation I believe it will be in the box.

I only miss having a load of new exciting stuff all in the space of a few days. Everyone having their stuff spread over a few months is fine but dilutes the experience somewhat.

This is the kind of thing that would /could persuade me to get PSVR.

@Paranoimia Oh yeah they could have saved themselves time and money and just tweeted new Star Wars game this Friday and pretty much had the same effect.
Although saying that the trailer has a pretty good like to dislike ratio, especially for an EA game.

@Paranoimia They could have done that but then there wouldn't be any point in it being in their EA Play event if they had shown it all now. Ok maybe they could have squeezed a few seconds of actual gameplay in but I'm fine with it with being nothing more than a cinematic trailer. It serves the purpose of generating interest and getting people watching the stream on Friday.

Read the article guys, gameplay on Friday at EA Play stream. I'm interested.

I'm a sucker for intricate details, this is pretty cool. Completely unnecessary but cool.

Still working on my HZD ultra hard play through, despite occasional hiccups I’m progressing well. Beginning to wonder if I will get my replay of TLOU done before Friday but I will give it a try.

Third choice is more tricky, probably RESI VIII but depends how I get on with VII. Kena and R&C look good.

This looks like a cool idea. Judging by the trailer views it would be a big system seller.

@Octane Looks like Insomniac's response to all that is 'Let's make the whole City wet and icy'.

Oh dear, that won't fit next to my virgin media box and Surround sound bluray player like my PS4. I have some planning to do.

That's good as I don't really have space by my TV for a standing console. I wonder when we might get actual dimensions? Even a side by side with a PS4 would be handy for reference.

I've gone with
Y,Y,N,N,Y,Y,N,N,Y,Y,N,N,N,Y,Y,N,Y,N,Y,N.

Mainly gone against the popular vote on Cerny and PS5 physically being seen. Took a punt Silent Hill won't be there (normally at least one rumour turns out to be false). I think they will show a few PS4 games running improved on PS5 but will be older favourites like Spider-Man and God of War as opposed to the new games not yet out.

I hope there are a few genuine surprises that no-one has 'rumoured'. Only about 24 hours to go people. Hype building!

It's a shame I'll have to leave for work about 2/3rds through but I'll rewatch it in my break.

I've reached a point in my Ultra Hard second playthrough of HZD that is actually living up to it's name. Had my buns handed to me a few times now but managing to progress. I have definitely had to equip the sheildweaver now though.
I've also decided to squeeze a replay of TLOU in before the sequel hits. I was going to do a new game + run on that too for a couple more trophies but it seems I don't have my original save files. Trying a hard run from fresh then and see how it goes.
I just got Resi VII in the sale as it hit the sweet spot of less than a tenner but I will wait until I've finished those other 2.

It will be cool to see, I still hold a glimmer of hope for a Code Veronica remake. If this is for 2022 maybe 2021? Although Resi 8 is probably more likely in that year.

Hopefully there is a small group planning out the return to the Witcher universe after Cyberpunk, like in reverse 8 years ago. But for now I'm just excited we finally get our hands on it in just a few months time.

I only got 4 and they were all guesses. I obviously played completely different games on my PS1.

While I'm excited for Thursday's reveal it's a shame we won't be getting the live reaction you get from the attending audience. Things like the roar when Kratos emerged from the shadows at E3 or the Firefly sign at PSX. It just adds that something extra to the experience (although only when genuine, not that Bethesda guy). I look forward to seeing what they have come up with.

@David187 Exactly. Why have an expensive and innovative piece of hardware if you don't make full use of it.

For me it's not really a generational leap if it's the same games just dialed up a bit. If we want true advances in game design then they shouldn't hamper themselves to having to work on several year old tech.

Pretty much copy and paste of last week for me. Continuing my Ultra hard, new game + on HZD. Not been too tricky so far but just starting to get to the point where I think it's time to equip the Shieldweaver.

Hopefully some more RDR 2 online with a mate and maybe give COD WW2 a go depending how things go.

Think it's time for a poll @get2sammyb, is the controller black or white?

I'm with @carlos82 , I think it's still the white/black dualsense we know it's just the lighting. An hour, oh man I can't wait. Looks like I lucked out with next week on hol otherwise I'd be leaving for work when it was on.

I almost don't want to see anymore gameplay as I want to play it fresh but know I won't be able to resist watching.

@Grindagger I'm not sure what you watched but I'm pretty sure CD Projekt hasn't shown any new gameplay since Aug 2019, hence why the upcoming stream is a big deal.

The amount I fast travel is dependent on how far I have got in a game. I pretty much never fast travel early in a campaign but when I get near the end and have already covered most of the map that is when I will start taking the convenient option.
I also find the quality of the world will dictate the speed at which I traverse the world. I often find I will slowly walk around in RDR 2 and Horizon just to take in my surroundings while often find myself sprinting to markers in something like AC.

It's not surprising really. EA have the easiest gig going with this and FIFA. Make some tweaks to a game and re-release it every year then rake in the cash. They made over 1.5 billion from ultimate team alone last year so add in the game sales and it's a gold mine.

I'll be happy to give the campaign a go. Haven't played one since Infinite War.

@Col_McCafferty Fair enough, I thought that was the case. I certainly didn't get it until all quest lines were done. Maybe they changed it in a patch or it's always been the case it just takes a certain amount of time after the main stories done. Still it sets the scene for an intriguing sequel.

@gollumb82 @Col_McCafferty Guys you have to 100% all the quest lines to get the 'secret ending'. So all the hordes/camps etc have to be done. I think it's worth doing.

9/15 and quite a few were guesses. I've realised I haven't played a few of them and only actually finished 5.

I felt like playing Horizon Zero Dawn again so I’m giving new game plus a try. Also thought I’d give ultra hard a go to get it back to 100%, seems okay so far.
A mate has finally found time for RDR 2 so hopefully we will get to posse up. Any other time I will carry on with X-Com 2.
Happy long weekend peeps.

I saw a youtube video with a thumbnail suggesting it's going to be GTA V and Monster Hunter World Iceborne. Seems far fetched, isn't Iceborne an expansion?
