Currently The Callisto Protocol from Plus. Not a terrible first impression at all tbh, albeit only 6 hours in barely halfway through first playthrough taking my time trying not to miss collectables. Not really finding it scary, more blood splattering and brutal limbs flying more than anything. Really good atmosphere and sounds too. If decide to platinum is where the repetitive baton combat dodging annoyance might come into play on maximum security difficulty, apparently supposed to be really annoying on that diff?. Overall enjoying Callisto Protocol so far and is scratching that halloween itch atm. Hoping to play some more Boltgun before Spiderman 2 and MGS collection

Well they ain't releasing Factions 2, Part 3 or a brand new IP anytime soon so why not. Adore both Part 1 and 2 so I'm naturally a little biased towards the series. The real question if this ends up true is, with Naughydog saying Part 1 was a remake and put a lot of work into it for justifying the 70 price, well this is a remaster so shouldn't be anywhere near 70 then?. If Naughtydog go the Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy Death Stranding remastered cheap upgrade route if you have the previous PS4 version digitally or physically already, that would be nice

Lol Mr know it all experts already, despite the game not being released yet

Really hoping it's campaign is super fun and tense and a really fun satisfying platinum. Also hoping for some more expansions similar to the 3 City That Never Sleeps expansions

4 times tried now, everytime automatically signs me out of my PSN. Maybe its getting over loaded with so many trying to get in for the first time I dunno. Try it another time maybe

Just tried using the Sony Pictures Core app for the first time after agreeing to all the policy stuff but it signs me out of PSN automatically and just left with a circle going round and round for ages on the app. Can't get in to use it

Cherry pick my favs on physical 4K but this will be a nice added free benefit for premium subs and possibly to a slightly lesser degree for Essential and Extra at a later date. I'll use the many selected free movies on Premium for like a free rental and if really enjoy that free rental I'll grab the physical 4K for it. Care far more about games on home console but I'll take a free movie every now and then that I ain't seen before, why not

Wondering what their next new game will be, hopefully a full on triple AAA experience this time. Didn't give Returnal a try because I don't like roguelikes at all. The whole idea of roguelikes in general massively triggers my anxiety in a bad way, so naturally avoid. A non roguelike brand new IP would be nice

Some good news about this port for once. Still no rush, I'll get it when I'm ready with massive sales on it. Few years ago backlog was still big but these days it appears to have doubled in size

@Smiffy01 found a good method of buying my must play games digitally or physically every now and then and in between using PS Plus for games like Sniper Elite 5, it's working for me atm. I do get the non sub approach as well, as its far less complicated by just focusing on buying the games you want and never worrying about when they leave Extra. With subs I have played so many games I don't think I'd ever consider trying or I've always been 50/50 on, so if you subbed you can go oh I might as well try it if it tickles my fancy a little, whereas with outright buying a game that you aint so sure about is always risky, not that you need a sub to try out new games but the sub can be a benefit for that very reason

All that matters is Spiderman 2 and MGS collection. Hotwheels Unleashed 2 can wait. Very excited for many games over the next 6 months. Unfortunately money and time doesn't grow on trees. So many games have to be put on hold for chunky sales later on while trying to priorities other new occasional releases. Yearly Premium sub helps a lot though despite already finishing many of the must plays on the service ages ago

Where's the link or statement that puts Jim Ryan as the one solely responsible for this gaas push. Sure he's been in charge smack bang in the middle of this gaas push but is he the one genuinely responsible for it all?

@PrettyPawsome all depends on how much of the repetitive combat I can take tbh. All games have some sort of repetitive nature to them so I'm kinda naturally used to it in a way. About to plat Powerwash Simulator soon which can be naturally so repetitive. Gameplay is so important though, more important than story and graphics imo. One things for sure though if end up deleting and moving on, is I won't be pretending to be a Mr know it all of a game I've only put a few hours in. I wouldn't call a game the best ever after only a few hours, likewise I wouldn't make out a game to be the worst ever after only a few hours

@Max_the_German 69 is fun number lol. Seriously though that's almost a 70 which is above average, not excellent top tier, not terrible either. Just hoping the combat doesn't end up the worst repetitive ever as some have been saying

Personally can't wait to try out Callisto tomorrow, aware its combat gets repetitive left or right dodge a lot before going in but at least gonna attempt to enjoy it regardless, who knows might like it, only one way to find out. SR reboot was a fun plat for me despite what some will say, even funnier when some act like snotty experts of the game despite never playing it

Ah s**t, here we go again

Seen this last night and it genuinly hurt in that gamer kinda way, knowing Evolution are no longer. Hard to believe getting Driveclubs platinum is almost a decade ago, still feels like yesterday

Many non gamers most likely still think of Sony for just making the Walkman or CD players and TVs. Nintendo Life and Pure Xbox must be a little jel🦧

Added to wishlist. Adored Limbo and Inside. The ending to Inside left me baffled and I kinda like that weird odd feeling, same with the ending of Little Nightmares 2. Katamari sums up Inside ending, that's all I can think of

Do these guys ever sleep no wonder they're called Insomniac

Like I said I adored part 2 and there's nothing you or anyone can say to change that. No issues with a woman going to gym to get revenge for her fathers death. I mean if someones murdered my Dad I'd be doing exactly the same as what Abbey did in that world. I actually thought it was very clever in its approach of having to let us play as the character whose just killed our beloved main, takes balls for any devs to do that and perfectly fits into that apocalyptic world where humans are more dangerous than the living dead. You say SuckerPunch and Bend are picking up their slack, how is that when Naughtydog SuckerPunch and Bend all released their latest game rougly around the same time as each other, all 3 haven't released a new game since but Naughtydog is the only one getting a little hate, weird

Seen the 4 dlc expansions road map for the game for the next 12 months over on the PS blog. What happens when the game is removed from Extra, means we'll have to buy the game to carry on with the expansions. Unless all 4 expansions release long before it leaves Extra?. Hopefully the main game will be more than fun enough without many of the expansions anyway?. Either way it's nice it's included day one. Looks like could be good fun worth a try

@NotSoCryptic I adored part 2 for having a set of balls putting story and apocalyptic world first rather than main characters being untouchable super heroes, I certainly wasn't left salty like half the internet was over it all. You simply dont know what Naughtydog are up to and to say they won't release anything new at all on PS5 is laughable. Can't wait to see what they have to share with us at a future showcase or SoP in the next 24 or 36 months to come. The original TLoU released really late at the end of PS3 gen

@NotSoCryptic Naughtydog are fine studio. Just need to be patient with them instead of hating. They'll reveal they're plans when they're ready. Just hoping something is revealed by late 2024 the latest or before then

Not expecting anything form Naughtydog this year or much of 2024. it's the one I'm most intrigued with though because we simply don't know what's coming from them for a long time now which is kinda unusual. Factions 2 is one hell of a big question mark, TLoU3 another huge question mark and a brand spanking new Naughtydog IP another question mark. The rumoured GoW Ragnarok Atreus expansion. What's Bluepoint doing. There's just so many question marks from so many 1st party atm which is not the usual norm. We usually know of 1 or 2 1st party games coming soon long before a 1st party is about to be released (Spiderman 2) but we know absolutely nothing after Spiderman 2

@MakersMark will be giving it a fair share of time and not just giving up after the first combat encounter. Do like horror so has a better chance than most. All depends on how much I'm enjoying it overall, as the huge never ending backlog will always be creeping up on me if I'm not enjoying it so much. Regardless I should complete it once at least, I don't see why not, or if enjoying it more than expected I'll go for its platinum?

@__jamiie nope I don't think Jim Ryan is wonderful or do I think he plays games and quite frankly I really don't care if he does or doesn't. You don't need to be gaming to sell a console, all you need to know is business. OK there wasn't any connection to Mark Cerny or Phil Spencer in your original comment when I replied I'll give you that but it was my frustration coming through more than anything. There is literally nothing in this article that would paint Jim Ryan as a moron. Just admit it you originally overreacted to this article because you hate Jim Ryan its OK. Also you believing that there's more people who hate PS Home in comparison to those that like it doesn't make you correct. Yh there's some bias towards a PlayStation console, I'm not in anyway trying to hide that, no real need to get the other consoles tbh

Wasn't meant as a cheapshot but if that's what you wanna call it OK

@__jamiie Mark Cerny would wipe the floor against Pinocchio Phil Spencer when it comes to actually playing video games

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk I'll try it still. Even if it gets repetitive at times. Graphics and atmosphere look really good still

I'll happily try out Callisto Protocol. Is concerned about its dodge simulator vibes though, apparently all combat is about constantly dodging left to right?

I'm all for a PS Home 2. All depends what type of stuff we can do inside it. I can imagine going into PS Home before every gaming session. Has its very own updated daily gaming news we can check daily. Has our very own trophy room displaying our most rare plats and rarest trophies. Each get our own massive PS Stars room to keep track of challenges daily. Or even something like a big PS Plus room

@Anthony_Daniels I disagree. Of course no one is immune to it. The less of a digital footprint you have the less likely you are to be effected, it's just simple math really. Scam emails are so easy to spot, YouTube channels like Atomicshrimp

Why I've always used wallet top up cards for the occasional digital game and for the renewal of PS Plus subscription. The less places you put your bank details the more money you'll have and less likely to get scammed🤷

@ChrisDeku ahh okie dokey I get it now. That's very impressive if they achieve that. 2023 been on 🔥 for PS5

@Americansamurai1 curious what you mean by the 25 mil number when PS5 already gone way passed the 40 mil number a long time ago. Surely I've miss read what you meant?

Can't wait for this. Its vol 2 that could end up being better. Peace Walker, MGS4 remastered hopefully, Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain remastered too hopefully. It's most likely ports with little improvements but I'll just be happy to have MGS4 out of PS3 prison

Only been able to play a little Unpacking. Health took a massive nosedive since Monday night with one of the worst flu I've ever had and only just recently got better but still only 90% back to normal. Was gonna carry on with RE4remake for Separate Ways but flu has made it impossible to do this week. RE4remake requires you to be fully switched on with your quick normal reaction times and its easy to miss collectables with a flu. Torturous nightmare this week. Can now save RE4remake for October at least

@Deljo focusing time and money on your favourite one console makes a lot of sense to a lot of gamers. Focus and time being the key points here. Having all 3 can be a waste of money because there's never enough time to enjoy them all nevermind having the money for them all and their subscriptions that go along with it. Priorities also being another key point. Why have all 3 when your favourite out of the 3 would be used 90% of the time, 2nd favourite 9% of the time and your least favourite 1% of the time possibly just ending up a dust collector. Everyone games differently and it's not just a clear option of simply having them all, that doesn't make sense for many. Can easily focus on all PS5 games and PS Plus by completely ignoring the other vise versa

@GeeForce having two trillion in the bank doesn't give a company any automatic rights to go around buying up some of the biggest and best in the business and then go onto lock out well over half the entire home console install base by potentially making hundreds of 3rd party games now only available on XboxPC. This doesn't contain a few games like most acquisitions do, hence why the long drawn out court battles. Microsoft has a history of monopoly and if they're stupidly allowed to carry on this path of more big acquisitions in the near close future then its nothing other than a genuine monopoly, it's already a monopoly to me right now as it is

@Godot25 I was referring to Sony spending almost an actual 80 billion of real money like Microsoft has, so yes I am correct it is literally 100% IMPOSSIBLE for Sony to do the same with real money. Your method is completely different to what I was originally on about. Also Sony would never be stupid enough to take that sort of risk, they obviously don't have deep pockets like some. It's definitely possible for Sony to spend I dunno guessing 5 to 8 billion on a chunky acquisition of their own at some point but nothing like close to 80 billion that's genuinely impossible for Sony. I'm not really sure why you have to keep altering what I originally said just to go better with your narrative, its a little weird

@theSpectre I understand it from a different set of fans pov, like they just wanna have all the good games and play them all because that's what all types of gamers really want. It's the false comparisons between the acquisitions and how there of equal measure that's annoying to read everytime. I mean there's a reason Microsoft had to go to court for their recent acquisition and Sony didn't have to for theirs, tells you all you need to know. Surely Xbox fans can count and know the difference between 69 billion and 3.6 billion or surely they know the difference between an acquisition having 100+ games compared to an acquisition that has only a few games. If Xbox fans think that's of the same equal then they must be in cuckoo land or just most likely bending the truth to suit the console they game on, it happens nothing new there

Bending the truth to suit your narrative. It's not for me but I get why fanboys do it

@Godot25 we are getting Xbox defenders here saying if PS do it why can't Xbox, absolutely nothing wrong with that. That's simply not true in recent reality though is it. Sure both have done many similar size acquisitions in the past but I'm specifically talking about Sony having to spend almost 80 billion like Microsoft recently has is impossible for Sony to do that, so I'm not wrong. Not in anyway bending the truth here like some here are. UNPRECEDENTED

It's only natural for Xbox fanboys to defend the huge unprecedented acquisitions makes sense, but don't go on to say that Sony do the same so why can't Xbox, when that's an actual impossibility for Sony to do the same. Highly recommended some Xbox fanboys Google unprecedented meaning

@Netret0120 Insomniac was 229 million and had been releasing many exclusive games for Playstations many years before being acquired by Sony. Bungie at 3.6 billion ain't no small change but was only allowed to be purchased with all their games Destiny Marathon remaining 3rd party for all. Meanwhile Microsoft almost 80 billion on two of the biggest game company's in the industry with so many games that it would become unhealthy to list them all here. Yh you can obviously say oh well Sony would do the same if they also had similar money for it, but that's purely based on fantasy, not the reality of what's currently going on

If my left thumb was twice as long as my right thumb then I'd understand why the left analog stick is where it is, but both my thumbs are identical in size. Yh so used to having both the analog sticks perfectly in line with each other which is perfect placement for where both of my thumbs naturally are when holding a PS controller

It's crazy to think that in 2019 every gamer thought all those many Bethesda and ActiBlzz games were all 3rd party as usual. Fast forward almost 4 years that's no longer the case. Can you imagine saying to someone while they're playing his/her PS4 in 2019 that by 2023 onwards all those many games have a good chance of never coming to PlayStation ever again, you'd never imagine that in 2019 but here we are. Never known anything like it before and how those leaked emails read it looks like it won't be ending anytime soon. These are hundreds of potential games not just half a dozen. Mind boggling greed because they're so crap at delivering good high quality 1st party games with the studios they had before consistently every year, spend 80 billion so they can deliver every year on 1st party at the expense of making so many great longtime 3rd party games as exclusives. Not a handful of games but potentially hundred+. It's their greed for GamePass and wanting to be the Netflix of gaming. Disgusting

Still remember the first time playing the game on release day on PS4 after the opening moments of the game when the character I was looking at hadn't loaded in properly in time yet and looked like a human that was built out of plasticine from a 5 year old kid

@thefourfoldroot1 have a lot more patience than I do. I get to a point after the story is complete thinking to myself well I've already put in 70 to 100+ hours into the game already and what's usually left for plat is usually all the boring mundane repetitive stuff that I didn't much care for while enjoying the story. The mundane that is left after story completion can require another 30 to 50+ hours for plat. Just satisfied getting all sub stories, defeating Amon and as much of all other miscellaneous trophies in the story as I can
