Series X and S are certainly selling like hot cakes!! 😅

And this is why Sony needs to drop this awful practice and start including Physical editions of their games in these Collectors Editions! These editions are slowly getting more and more expensive, but with the omission of physical games, it feels more and more like we are getting short changed.

I don’t know why developers would ever let themselves be purchased by EA. They get bought out at the top of their game in most cases and slowly but surely get dissolved or closed down. EA is the worst thing in gaming. Sure Project Cars was diminishing in quality, but it’s just horrible to see how EA treat what they buy out.

I think Sony shouldn’t be removing games from the service until they get their act together as far as their subscription models are concerned. It sounds like they have so much to do to convince people to upgrade from the base tier.

I voted that I wouldn’t be picking it up, not because I didn’t want it or that it was too expensive, but it’s because of motion sickness. I would love to own a PSVR2 set and I have been
Extremely impressed by what I’ve seen, but I know through use of headsets before hand that I would literally last a few minutes tops before I would be lying down feeling sick for hours!!

@Gloamin Capcom have been really great of late in offering free upgrades to their games, the Resi 2, 3 and 7 being a good point. They are also offering free upgrade pathways for Resi 4, so I would not be surprised if they were to offer a free upgrade for 7 on PSVR 2 aswell! 😄

I would have really liked to have given this a run, but the overriding factor for me is the fact I suffer terrible motion sickness. Price is pretty much as expected, this kind of technology isn’t going to come cheap, but I do think that anyone buying this is definitely going to understand where the money has gone once they put it to use. Some of the tech that Sony has used here sounds pretty insane!

This story highlights the worst part of industry consolidation.

I would love to see an Uncharted 5! Uncharted was one of the main reasons I bought a PS3 and PS4 as I loved the series! Although 4 wasn’t the greatest of the games, after I played through it 3 times, I really came to appreciate the story. Graphically it was an awesome game aswell, so that was a bonus. I am sounding like I’m in the minority, but I would love to have Nathan back as the main character along with Sully. The game wouldn’t have to be set directly after the end of 4, but I’m sure a new adventure could have been squeezed in after that game ended on Libertalia! One other thing I would love to see would be the supernatural approach that Amy Hennig brought to the series being replicated. I was always waiting for Ghost Pirates to suddenly appear at the end of 4, but as it ended up it wasn’t meant to be. One more time? Oh Yes!!

Hopefully Cory Barlog has walked into Jim Ryan’s office today to give him an ear full!!

I prefer graphics to look awesome, so I can live with the 30fps that most games adhere to, as long as the game looks way better because of it, but considering the quality under the hood of the PS5, I don’t think it’s too unreasonable to have a higher frame rate also. Having said that, Horizon Forbidden West looked immense at 60fps and the quality reduction wasn’t life changing. I’m
Really looking forward to seeing how God of War looks, that should look incredible. From what I’ve seen on Gotham Knights, I don’t think there really is any reason why there shouldn’t have been a 60fps mode in that title though. I except that there will be some kind of patch later down the line.

With the way Sony are marketing this game, it makes it feel like a first party game for PlayStation. That in itself makes me think that Striking Distance may be an Acquisition target by Sony. Would not be sad to see that happen personally.

GAME are jumping the gun with the collectors edition of late, this went live around 2.am this morning..

I am more than sure that Veronica will get announced that it will get the remake treatment sooner than later. It’s probably the one that most fans would want to see. It would definitely sell exceptionally well. I also also like to see Capcom branch off into other series’. Devil May Cry 1 - 3, Dino Crisis and Onimusha would be amazing remakes with the RE engine!!!

The main thing I liked about this control pad was the possibility to replace components, specifically the sticks. Although so far, touch wood and all that, my original Dual Sense hasn’t got drift, I would feel a bit ill having to buy new Dual Sense pads if that was to afflict me. That made the Edge desirable for me….. then Sony announced the price. It’s basically the same price as 3 pads and going by Sonys pricing policy of late, I would say that replacement analogue sticks will be something ludicrous like £29.99 for a pair. Unless the stick drift was a 100% possibility of effecting the original pads after a set time the Edge may end up being worthwhile after a few years, but as it stand it’s too much unfortunately.

With all the drivel coming out of Xbox right now about all the shady deals Sony make about securing exclusive rights for games, I find this a bit of a cheap move by Microsoft. It’s like the teapot calling the kettle back. I read that Phil Spencer had said they wanted to invest in Japanese companies, so I’m guessing Sega/Atlas will be next on their agenda.

I was personally hoping to see a 3rd entry into the Injustice series before MK12, but I will be happy nonetheless!

Why not do a Bloodborne Remaster? People have been begging for that for years now, that would sell great. Horizon would be the last game I would remake as it already looks perfectly fine!

At this moment and time, I wouldn’t even trust Sony to handle opening a a packet of crisps right now without causing controversy! 😐

I try to stick to single player games as much as I can, so although I did enjoy the game a lot, I am not in the least bit excited about the prospect of fighting enemies that can drag real people into match ups. Hopefully the game can be played offline.

Wow, that is terrible stuff. I haven’t personally bought direct from PlayStation, but I have had issues with GAME in the UK whereby they seem to do the same with collectors editions. It should be
Something that all companies do, sent collectors editions to people in at the very least, packaging that can take a hit.

I will likely buy this, not because of the fact it is so highly customisable, but the idea of being able to replace Analogue sticks is appealing. Instead of losing entire pads, changing over faulty parts would definitely be helpful if there are stick drift issues. On Price topic, I imagine it will cost around £130 odd. Anything less would be brilliant though.

That has to be the worst possibly day to release a game. Either that or Sega are supremely confident with their product…. 🙄

I believe that Sony will do a few things over the next year or 2, which is purchase Square Enix and have them as a first party exclusive developer, invest in smaller companies and have acquisitions similar to the Bungie purchase, to which I would love to see Capcom, WB Games or Ubisoft. Now, Although the die hard fans will think this is crazy, the way that Sony handled the Bungie acquisition was great in my opinion. Have basic full control of the finances, allow the games to make money from rival systems and making sure that Destiny, or whatever Bungie is working on will never be taken away from PlayStation. If this was done with Capcom ( which I genuinely think could happen ), the Resi Games, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter would forever remain on PlayStation. If Microsoft had bought Bungie or Capcom, that would be the end of Sony seeing anything on their console from them again. It’s down to the huge acquisition of Activision Blizzard and all the wangles to get the deal over the line that COD is being spoken about staying on PlayStation. Give it another generation and I would not be surprised if Sony never saw another COD again (not that I would miss it personally)

Having collected games for over 30 years, and amassed a collection well over 1500 games, it will be a sad day that physical media ends!

I am currently on a Capcom binge Gaming wise, one of my most favourite developers. So good to read their turnaround of late as I would have hated to see them fall by the wayside when for me personally, they offer so much to my own gaming habits!

A kick in the teeth was that GAME went early with their preorders. I had a page open from yesterday for the words Jotnar and God of War Ragnarok. This morning I started refreshing the pages around 9.55 am and Jotnar was the only one that showed up for me. Managed a preorder no issues before the site crashed a few minutes later.. Hopefully a lot of true fans picked it up instead of scalpers…

I know it’s poor, but I would probably be far more likely to play Classic titles if they were to have Trophy support. With the way gamers are rewarded with trophies, I just couldn’t see myself playing a game, no matter how good, from 20 odd years ago with no trophies to show for it.. When the service was first announced, I imagined games like Metal Gear, Silent Hill, Tekken 1-3 and the first 2 Dino Crisis games all being replayed by myself to add shiny platinums to my collection, but as I own all these games physically, I would be far better just playing them on my PS2 if it adds nothing new to that effect. As it stands, I’m just going to stay on the bottom tier PS Plus.

I’ll hopefully be able to pre order the Jotnar edition! November can’t come fast enough, super excited for this game!!

I have personally had a few problems with the Dualsense, so I would buy this if it was confirmed that the internal build quality was way better or that stick drift was negated entirely!

Hopefully there will be a Collectors Edition shown at the showcase. Hopefully it doesn't come with a Leon statue again. Id be all for a villain this time around!

I remember reading that the RE engine was very easily upgraded for next gen hardware, so this is proving correct. Everything Capcom touches with it looks fantastic!

Even though I do feel sorry for Capcom here, I’m glad the whole roster has been shown. I hate waiting to find out whether my favourite fighter is to be included or not. Thankfully they both are!

With the technology available, I would love to see a new sonic game set on Sonics homeworld of Mobius. That could look spectacular. This demo didn’t really have the breakneck speeds that I would personally associate with Sonic. In all honesty, I think it looked terrible..

With the huge success of Ps4, Sony was always going to have a problem cutting of the games to focus on Ps5. If there hadn’t been a shortage of components for PS5, I think the transition would have been done by now, but still allowing for over 100 million PS4s, that will do nothing less than keep huge sales on the go for new 1st party releases and that ain’t bad news at all.

I would expect that more and more developers will include Trophy support as the releases pick up. It wouldn’t take too much effort to include them surely! I would love to see releases and support for Metal Gear Solid 1, Tekken 2, Silent Hill and anything related to Capcom incidentally!!

I think they should stop the state of plays, they are pretty crap up to this point. Sony should do a summer show all to themselves, just like everyone else seems to be edging towards! Would be awesome!

Devil May Cry 6, Dino Crisis Remake, a new Onimusha title, a new Bionic Commando…. I could go on all day! 😄

I agree with so many here. Sony has Square Enix games battened down already, since their relationship runs very close, it would be of far more benefit for Sony to acquire Capcom. There are so many games that they have lying languishing that would work so well nowadays, and would definitely have a far greater appeal to a mass market than the games that Square make. I haven’t bought a game from Square Enix in years, but I have bought every Capcom title since Devil May Cry 1!

With the way things are looking, I won’t be playing games by Sony next generation. I really like to play single player only and the idea of live gaming left right and centre really puts me off big time!

Only my Opinion, but I would not be surprised if this had something to do with a Sony acquisition coming up. Sony would be most interested in Final Fantasy and whatnot, and dropping the asking price due to less studios/IPs to aquire would make things more straight forward in that respect!

Jim Ryan is probably green lighting the manufacture of more PS4s to compensate as we speak… 😤

I would be super hyped if Sony were to acquire Capcom! I think they would be even better than Square Enix, and with some of the IPs that they have, it would be far more popular with fans!

@get2sammyb Thankyou for pointing that out! 😄

I would personally have put Arkham Origins slightly higher on the list for myself. I really enjoyed the story of that title and I actually didn’t mind the multiplayer either!

I would love to see a new Uncharted game. I know Nathans story is Classed as over, but I really want see Drake and Sully go out on another adventure!!

I Would like to see Sony get a few acquisitions at least. I would be most pleased to see them acquire developers like Capcom, Arc System Works, Square Enix or Konami. Nowhere near as big as the Activision purchase financially, but I would far prefer to know that the games that those companies produced, especially Capcom were safe on Playstation.

Would be amazing if they got Uncharted 2, 3 and Mortal Kombat up and running again!!

I would rather if Sony had put the budget of this film toward a 5th game instead! I'm really not a fan of movies based on games personally..

I suppose the only reason that Sony would announce an acquisition on stage would be if they were to show Metal Gear Solid being remade by Bluepoint games or something like that, THEN announce that they had acquired them. That would be awesome!
