As much gaming and IPA as possible

Japanese with subtitles all day long. More authentic this way and it's far funnier sounding

Ghost of Yotei
DS2 On the Beach
MGS Delta
GTA6
Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii

Mafia The Old Country too and a few others?

Hoping Sonic Frontiers and WRC come to Essential at some point later on. If was on Extra still then this ain't a bad month at all personally

Imagine if it's MGS6 and Kojima has been secretly working with Konami on and off occasionally for a while. Does sound almost impossible with OD and DS2 being worked on tho. If it's not 1st party TLoU3, doggies new IP or Insomniacs Wolverine then hope one of them is RE9 in a brand new scarier direction than what RE8Village went on

Currently ultra hard diff playthrough on HZD remastered for 100%. Didn't get round to Frozen Wilds originally so that's been a lot of fun this time round. Hopefully finish off the Hotwheels 2 plat soon as well

12 of 15 with no guesses, knew those 12 straight away

Mid 90s with PS1 was something else. Especially in 1998 with RE2 and discovering MGS for the very first time on the demo disc from the official Playstation magazine. An N64 in 98 too I think or could have been 99. Great times back then with hardly any worries too

@wildcat_kickz ahh cheers for that can watch it live now. Hopefully Astrobot takes the goty home

So will this be Friday midnight for those in the UK. I only ask as I have to be up super early on the 12th of Thursday morning

Sorry, I'm confusing myself here too

@vyseofhr Dreamcast is a great start up but PS1 gets my top fav for that mid 90s nostalgia. Gamecube start up ain't bad. PS3 start up sound was pretty good even if a little on the simple side

@danzoEX Resistance in there too just before Bloodborne

Around 14 in my bedroom in mid 90s playing those now PlayStation 1 classics like RidgeRacer, TR, RE123, GranTurismo, CrashBandicoot, MGS and Silent Hill listening to Oasis along with an N64 a little later. Those will be my fav gaming nostalgia memories forever and it's crazy to think all those games I just mentioned are still going strong in some way to this very day. This trailer hit me hard ngl, especially the end bit when it mentions the word you🥹

@playstation1995 Still a little annoyed there's no Like a Dragon Gaiden physical release for the rest of my Yakuza collection. Is very tempted by this sale digitally tho.word up son

The Switch being a hybrid both a handheld and console then its only fair that Playstation adds their total original PSP sales to the PS2s 160m😂

@Neither_scene or it could do the same numbers as what the WiiU did after the Wii😂. Highly doubt that though as it's a handheld and we all know how well handhelds sell over there

@KundaliniRising333 theres also a point to be made about gamers are allowed to have slightly different gaming tastes than one another without being judged online for it all the time but that's the internet tho isn't it. There's not many open world games that would work properly without some kind of map for the player to use. So many open world games would become a borefest chore without the use of a map. Imagine a huge open world game where it takes 3 hours per side mission to find them or 3 hours per small collectable

Couldn't care less about PC but thoroughly enjoyed HZD almost 8 years ago and now thoroughly enjoying it all over again. Do enjoy HZD very mildly a bit more than HFW. This is quite literally the best looking remaster I've ever played, even if it was already a decently good looking game in 2017PS4 standards. Better looking than many other PS5 games this remaster. Balanced VRR the one. Nixxes has done a top tier job on this

@Keyblade-Dan about to get on it soon been busy with the chores and things today. I know yh I've only heard positive things about it this past week and from DF

Be nice if PefectDark turns out to be good and gets an eventual PlayStation release too😁

Off topic anyone know if the Horizon Zero Dawn PS5 upgrade is now available in UK

Dead Space remake last month and Hotwheels 2 this month. Loving Essential atm

@SlipperyFish I can't really judge a Bungie game as I've never experienced any of theirs but I do know they have their fans still and stands more of a chance of being a success than Fairgame but who knows, just look at the Helldivers2 huge success that nobody expected. It's always the gamble with MP GaaS games and rarely a safe bet for success

Fairly confident in what PS studios are cooking up for us over the next few years but not Fairgame or Marathon poo off. It was a fairly decent first couple of years 1st party wise on PS5 but the last couple years not so much other than 3rd or 2nd party Stella Blade, SH2 and FF types and some remasters/remakes to fill gaps and all that I dunno really. Obviously Ragnarok, spidey2 and Astrobot are top tier more recently. It's things like Concord multiplayer GaaS 200 million thing which could have been used for a different 1st party IP that is now in hindsight frustrating for many of us on PS5. As much as I don't care for Fairgame or Marathon I just hope they're successful enough to help fund other PS 1st party IP going forward. Can't really be having two more giant flops like Concord with Fairgame and Marathon, the dent would be considerably more massive

Anyways I wasn't ever purchasing this Firewalk Overwatch kinda game but it still sucks regardless for all involved, including us

I thoroughly enjoyed my time with SM2 from start to finish. Enjoyed the story, enjoyed all the characters personalities, enjoyed all the fights, enjoyed all the swinging from place to place, enjoyed all the weapon gadgets and new wingsuit, enjoyed all the side Quests, and thoroughly enjoyed the Mary Jane missions and her fight with Peter. Thoroughly enjoyed the SM2 sequel just as much as I did with SM1 and MM and that's all that matters to me

Seeing how RE1 on Premium hasn't had any trophies added, I'm guessing the same for Dino Crisis, zero trophies. Or pop my Dino Crisis physical disc into PS3. If DC has some trophies at some point and available for seperate purchase I'll just buy it digitally. Dino Crisis 2 with trophies too at some point would be splendid 🦖🦕

@Nei ha nice

Definitely grabbing it soon. Understand SH2 is regarded as the best SH game and I'd agree with that but still a little puzzled as to why they couldn't start with an SH1 remake first as that one is also just as good

Could be the price hike or could be that some who were gonna get a PS5 in Japan around this time have decided to wait for the PS5 Pro instead. Hazard a guess it's both these reasons why PS5 sales are not the usual numbers?

My current personal rule on remasters are if it's a highly enjoyable game to me then I don't mind but most importantly it has to have the £5 or £10 upgrade with it if already own it previously physically digitally or you can shove that £40, £60, £70 remaster up ya a**hole where it belongs. Days Gone and HZD wouldn't mind platting all over again for a small upgrade cost. More on DS2 and release date would be nice

@Ainu20 I know yh enjoyed the demo of it when it first released but never got round to grabbing, to busy on the new PS Plus tiers at the time and backlog. The original and best RE 90s trilogy all would feature in my own top 10 games of all time list

You'd have to imagine there will be a Showcase this time next year 2025 when there's a few more PS 1st party games closer to being finished and closer to release?

Off topic but just grabbed Tormented Souls for £1.59 on PS store sales, ideal survival horror for next month. Also have to mention The Crew 2 is 79p

Can you imagine just how good a new Motorstorm game would look now on PS5 or PS6. Resistance, Infamous or Killzone on PS6 too. All for much more new IP but no harm in having a few sequels from Motorstorm or Resistance as well

@riceNpea Same here

@riceNpea Dying to play Astro Bot Next month ha. If Wu Kong peaks my interest over the coming months or next year, can get it on a sale deal

@riceNpea Bloodborne was my first experience of a Souls game in 2015 or 16. Do remember my first impressions were really good and then a little later like many do on their first time with any Souls game just end up frustrated😆. Granted something only like half a dozen hours with it and that was almost 10 years ago now. If tried again now there's a possibility could get to grips with it a bit more with some patience but my gaming time and huge never ending backlog sometimes has other ideas

@riceNpea each to their own. Bloodborne looks great with the gothic vibes and all, just find it's combat slow and sluggish like all Souls games are, not my cup of tea tbf. I respect diehards of these Souls games tho and adore watching the speedruns some do

Interested in this one a little more since reading the comments here. Finding out its not exactly proper souls and almost GoW and DMC kinda difficult rather than the mostly annoying Souls formula while still not being easy has got me interested a bit more. Will have to watch some reviews now and keep more of an eye on it

My eyeballs and earholes will definitely be on it. Not expecting much as usual but it's video game content and stuff, it's not like we get a huge amount of video game related shows. Have nothing else to do around the time of the show too, so why not

The rumoured Death Stranding 2 update would be nice

@PegasusActual93 I must have missed that when they mentioned it, nice to now know

@Americansamurai1 Bend, Bluepoint and Media Molicule with new IP too

@Americansamurai1 I know yh some sort of fantasy scifi horror of sorts. As much as I adore a much anticipated sequel, there's nothing quite like a PS 1st party new IP reveal. There's quite a few new PS 1st party reveals to come at some point soon, can't wait

@Americansamurai1 yh I'm guessing 2026 too, late 2026

7 episodes apparently, so I'm guessing part 2 will be in two parts? Hopefully. Teaser looks alright

@thefourfoldroot1 know yh, just had a quick search

Any trophies for SH Short Message. May consider checking it out if it does?

Edit nope no trophies

Video games are supposed to be fun no matter what the game is. Yes there's very many different styles including Souls. HAVE FUN

Very much pleasing to know that the RE7 director is doing RE9. Whatever RE9 is gonna be about, it now has a great chance of being scary survival horror

With the classic 90s RE trilogy coming to GoG, wondering if Capcom will do them on consoles soon, a short teaser announcement for console would be wonderful at the livestream. Highly doubt they will tho

Ah well nevermind hopefully August improves. If you haven't played Borderlands 3 already what are you waiting for. Ha B3 villains are a little annoying tho

@Smithylfc2008 yh that's what I thought last week but now this just seems like somethings gone wrong with it?

How difficult is it for Sony to put Stars on console, I'd imagine not very difficult at all. The app just eventually puts up a needless barrier, as it's less likely to be used by gamers compared to if it were on console. Stars being on console has the potential to help with user engagement numbers too?
