@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
@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 🦖🦕
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 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
@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
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
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?
@TrickyDicky99 yh I know what you mean. It's like if I adored Elden Ring be looking forward to its dlc, yes annoying no trophies but still play the s##t out of it. The trouble with some of the PS1 classics on Premium is I still own some of them physically on the original PS1 console and can just whip those out instead, having new trophies on PS classics there's no need to whip out the PS1. Could even whip out the DS and play Resident Evil Deadly Silence instead of no trophies premium version
@TrickyDicky99 maybe there's a huge chunk of gamers that really enjoy getting trophies. What I find baffling sometimes is when someone is super enjoying a game but deletes it after completion of the campaign when they could have got so much more continued fun out of it by going for the rest of the trophies and platinum
Well this is very welcome news. Hopefully the original Resident Evil gets trophies added soon unless Capcom are doing a classic trilogy collection at some point. Would love to attempt some speed run trophies on classic REs. Ridge Racer Type 4 too
Haha what a clown. Full of himself after one really decent Xbox Showcase, meanwhile PS has had plenty of those over the past decade, albeit not so much in recent years. Take away the almost 80 billion spent in the last few years and this Xbox Showcase would have been average at best. PS don't need to purchase huge 3rd party publishers for 80 billion to create a great Showcase
@IamJT didn't think it was terrible or anything like that, just first impressions for me on my end wasn't the best. Not experienced enough of the game yet for genuine proper opinion on it, still could be really good yet
@AdamNovice was expecting a better first impression after reading all its positive praise and gameplay vids since it originally released. Its weird because I enjoyed the Dredge mini game version in Dave the Diver more than the actual Dredge game itself. Think Dave the Diver for me has a more fun gameplay loop I dunno. Could change when give Dredge more time though?
Tried Dredge for first time the other day on Extra while in the middle of enjoying Dave the Diver and was honestly very bored throughout its first hour. Plan on giving Dredge a few more hours so hopefully could get a bit better?
Enjoyed its main game campaign but haven't got round to any of its previous 2 dlc expansions. Now they're adding a 3rd I hope they do a bundle deal that includes all 3 at a slightly cheaper price and if bundle goes on a sale it'll be a bit more lower priced
