Flight sim please 🙏

@ED_209 mere 5 years? 😂 The money has been made. They’ll make much more going forward with this deal.

@Intr1n5ic I bet that flew over a few heads 😂

So to summarise. It’s good but not worth the money if you already have a ps5.

I had PSVR in the past and also a quest 2 and enjoyed it here and there but i don't have either anymore and im hesitant to get PSVR2....persuade me

My main issue is fear of support for it going forward I suppose but reviews like this plus the fact games are being released on ps plus does tempt me.

@LifeGirl Sony haven’t failed an entire console generation yet. Nintendo have done it twice. Once with GameCube and once with Wii U. So they are due another dud after switch.

Is there anything more annoying then the same mushrooms appearing every month just to say ´glad i cancelled´.

Well done. Nobody cares

@LiamCroft Do you think I should play the original via emulation first or just jump straight into this one?

I played a bit of the original back in the day but never really stuck with it.

Such a shame. I love magazines and it seems the last remaining manstream mags left are Edge and Retro Gamer.

I sub to Retro Gamer and have tried many times to enjoy Edge but I can't get into it. It's too artsy hipster up its own arse for me.

Play was a nice read.

At least there are indie options out there like fusion, switch gamer and the soon to return Sega Mania magazine.

I think I’m done with plus now. It’s not so much that it’s a bad service….it isn’t. I don’t have that much time to play so usually end up not playing that much on it.

It’s better to buy the games I 100% want to play.

For retro the list is too small anyway so will just use emulation on series s.

Annoyingly I bought Train Sim World 4 and 2000 on Xbox and no longer have the console. I’m planning to get another in the future but for now I might buy this on PS5. If you buy TSW 5 can you then buy the DLC from all previous versions? I really wanted the Blackpool DLC for TSW 4.

I very rarely buy games on release. Actually the last one was probably last gen. I’m going to get this. I loved Astro’s playroom and I have no doubt this is gonna be an experience up there with Mario Odyssey.

Everyone buy it! Then hopefully Sony realise that fun, original, innovative single player experiences have a place in today’s world.

Planet Coaster ffs 🤦‍♂️

It’s garbage.

I bought a one year sub when it came to Xbox and about 2 weeks after I did they removed loads of the better games (mortal kombat, dizzy games etc).

The layout is also poor.

@TrickyDicky99 why’s that then?

@IOI every month the same. ‘I’m glad I don’t subscribe’. Well done I guess 🤷‍♂️

‘I don’t like it so I don’t want anyone else to enjoy it’ 🙈

I enjoyed the first one and before the storm but I tried life is strange 2 on ps plus recently and quit during episode 2.

It was just so boring. So many mundane tasks in the house etc

It’s one of the best games ever made.

If you’re young and have never tried it….you’re in for a treat.

I don’t think anyone expected too much from this anyway.

It could be worse. Imagine if your only console was switch and your announcements are bad ports and a bunch of toys 😄

Let me guess….£60 🙈

Yes!!!!!!! 😍 Day one for me

@JimmyRiddle if you think timesplitters is dross you’re clearly new to gaming or about 12 years old.

@IOI every month someone says this. Congratulations and goodbye.

@Max_the_German but there aren’t parallels. Microsoft have acquired a ton of big studios to address the problem of first party. The games won’t won’t be developed overnight.

@Max_the_German a poll about a sony product and you still manage a poor attempt at trolling Microsoft 🙈

@tangyzesty if it gets to that stage then yes you’re right but at the moment it’s 4 games. We will see. If all the games end up going to PS5 then certainly there would be no point going with Xbox unless you are someone who’s gonna get through tons of game pass games and plays all day.

@NattyKing well I can’t argue with those points regarding available time and price decreases. I’m 40 and don’t have time to play that often so it might even be better for me to just buy games. That said…I think Xbox turning into the new SEGA will not be good for gaming as a whole. Nintendo are separate. Sony needs someone pushing them.

@NattyKing every service has a peak though it doesn’t mean it’s not a viable prospect moving forward. They have a user base now they can use their newly acquired studios and previously acquired studios to start making games for it. I’m sure they didn’t expect to have memberships increasing every year forever 😂 There are only so many people interested. The task is keeping them interested. New subs will come as I say as it will be the place to play new games for €15 a month rather than $70 a game playing it elsewhere.

@tangyzesty the thing is I think it was the plan all along and it's a very smart move by microsoft.

They have the studios right now than Playstation needs. They can put their games on playstation but keep the moniker 'Xbox is the best place to play' and have the selling point of 'yes you can play our games on PS5 for $70 or you can get them day 1 on game pass'.

The only thing that would signal the writing on the wall for xbox as a console would be if they took game pass to ps5 but that would be a huge mistake and I don't see it happening.

@TheCollector316 at least you don’t sound bitter about it 😂

@Ralizah unfortunately no. They didn’t come out on top in any way shape or form. A lot of hard work ahead.

I sold my ps5 before these new plus tiers came in (needed the money at the time) and I’m definitely tempted to buy one and go back. Quite a lot of stuff on it I haven’t played.

As far as comments on here regarding game pass and why ps plus isn’t getting the same attention. Isn’t that because game pass has day 1 games and ps plus doesn’t? Unless I’m missing something and it changed.

@naruball so what is false about it? The USP of game pass is day 1 releases. PS plus doesn’t have that and now Jim Ryan is scrambling trying to explain why.

I don’t get your point at all

It’s not a game pass competitor then is it…at all. It’s just plus and now together.

Game pass is a good deal because games are put on there day 1.

Ffs 🙄

Can we just get Cuphead??

I've been waiting for it to go on ps plus/GWG or gamepass for ages. I want to play it but I know as soon as I do buy it it's going to appear for free.

@somnambulance it was but got taken off last autumn.

@ScepticDK 20 mins on planet coaster won't even get you past the basic part of the tutorial.

Planet coaster....yes!!

I played it on xbox game pass and it was great but it left the service and I've been planning to buy it in a sale ever since. Now I don't have to

It's not really about whether you play call of duty or not. The fact is xbox will be market leader within 3 years. PS only gamers will probably end up buying into the ecosystem.....not necessarily buying an xbox but there will be gamepass apps on tv etc

It doesn't change anything for me personally. Companies switching places as market leader is nothing new. Playstation still have their amazing first party titles and can innovate.

@lacerz thanks for that but I didn’t mention net worth. I said market cap.

@lacerz

Lol. Sony has a market cap of 143 billion dollars as of January 2022.

Microsoft is 2.2 trillion dollars.

Different league

@Hobbesyall

Yeah because Sony woouldn't have done the same if they could. They are just in a different league financially. It's small change for microsoft.

As for the morale of it all....well we all remember Sony enticing square and nintendo players losing one of their biggest games to playstation.
