I think they need to start doing deep dives for individual games rather than these State of Plays. People just expect too much, and while some of what was shown was great, it didn't amount to much more than some trailers. Didn't learn much else nor nothing in depth.
If it is that's fine. It will free up shelf space and I can put the disc edition into cex. Iam thinking it's gonna be Mortal Shell though with the well timed PS5 upgrade.
Metal Gear - nobody can touch that franchise without Kojima involved. Sorry Konami. Even remakes would expect that Kojima touch. They are wrapped together with a bow and that's it. Or at least no dev would want to touch that franchise to make a new entry.
Don't really care about another Castlevania or Metal Gear entry. But I do care about the rumoured Silent Hill games, one being announced this summer and one being worked on by Bloober Team.
Not liking this price hike. I happily did it at launch due to this being the first out of the box. But now I'm building a backlog and I don't want to shell out £70 for a game. RE Village is £55 on the digital store and that is my limit.
With the sequel due, I voted for Horizon as it would be great to have them both using PS5's power.
What I am not wanting to see is the last half of the generation appearing on PS5 and resold as "remasters, like with Nioh and Spider-Man. So many third party games are heading to PS5 via simple upgrades. Don't try to sell me an upgrade for £30 or more...
Yep, bought it on sale on January 5th. Not even downloaded it yet. Seeing about a refund but it is what it is. I would be pissed off even more if I had followed 505's advice and preordered the Ultimate Edition for the PS5 upgrade.
1 day and 15hours to go. Just noticed the PS5 downloaded the PS4 version first! Now selected the PS5 version to download. It's good though cause I want to try the game in VR.
@Old-Red @DualshockInfinit you both realise all the content from hitman and hitman 2 is included if you bought the previous versions? So basically the trilogy is available at launch in Hitman 3...
It's so frustrating! I can kind of get it to work on the Playstation app but the desktop store is awful and there are never any prices or purchase options.
I mean they should have delayed but I think they needed to recover some of the development money already spent. I'm not surprised Base PS4 is in such a state since they were so restrictive with what people could show, even on PC.
Based on The Witcher 3, I have absolute faith in them to sort this game out for their fanbase.
Avoiding this as much as I can. Every news outlet should be posting the same PSA and not linking to anywhere that you can look at the spoilers and video content for yourself or include it in the article.
If third party continue to sell at £50 then Sony will have to rethink their pricing. I love the look of this game, but I can't consider a purchase at £70.
I got more out of the Disney+ announcements than the Game Awards. I'm disappointed these Silent Hill/MGS remake rumours didn't come to fruition and I think I just won't listen to hype again regarding those.
Happy to see Returnal coming in March, though I felt Housemarque trolling the PT/Silent Hills crowd with the start and end to their trailer haha. The game looks great, it is looking more like a third person version of the games they've done before. Looking forward to it.
Having heard it's a bit of a buggy mess without the day one patch, I'm not surprised some console sites didn't get review code. I'm not in any rush to get this game as I've got a number of games in the backlog already.
Loved Ghost of Tsushima! Really hope it takes some awards home from the Game Awards. Being in the UK I'll wait until the Friday morning to find out the winners.
Very well done! I've just reached this boss in my playthrough. Having a frustrating time even on the DualSense - I think the lock on camera is the biggest boss in Demon's Souls haha.
This isn't fair to the loyal customers who just didn't get their chance yet to own a PS5. I'm siding against Sony here. All subscribers to PS+ should get these games no matter what console they have right now.
People can say whatever they want. Xbox did come out swinging with the "most powerful console ever made" but it didn't sway me the way Playstation's launch line up did. Also the argument of "this game that was released years ago works so much better now" shouldn't be the main argument for buying one. Xbox would have performed better with a good first party launch line up, and I'm sure they'll have that with their next console.
I'm excited to see what the generation will look like in 3/4 years time.
After seeing this article and went and did the Planet Coaster free upgrade. No issue downloading the PS5 version over copying the PS4 version from the disc.
Picked up Walking Dead Saints and Sinners for PSVR! Heard some good things about it so I am looking forward to playing this on PS5. Hopefully it's got a boost in BC!
My only complaint has been two freezes during combat. The gameplay froze for a few seconds in the first area of Boletaria, second time I thought it was going crash it went that long, but the game fixed itself. Hope this doesn't happen often. Otherwise fantastic game!

Re: Mystery Square Enix IP Getting Multiple Remakes
If it's multiple entries of one franchise then it's Tomb Raider.
Re: So, Square Enix Is Making Another Final Fantasy VII Remake Called Ever Crisis... On Mobile
Happy to give it a try when they release it. Interested to see what becomes of it, and like someone else says, I hope the full game comes to Switch.

I cannot believe it's the Friday before and we still don't know March's line up, but we know one game we're getting for April...
Re: PS Plus Members Think Final Fantasy VII Remake May Be Free in March
If it is that's fine. It will free up shelf space and I can put the disc edition into cex. Iam thinking it's gonna be Mortal Shell though with the well timed PS5 upgrade.
Re: Mortal Shell: Enhanced Edition Is Real, Coming to PS5 Next Week
Looking forward to adding this to psplus collection for March
Re: Talking Point: What Do You Expect from This Week's State of Play?
I expect to be disappointed
Re: Poll: Who Should Develop New Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania Games If Konami Is Outsourcing Them?

Re: You Can Upgrade to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart's Digital Deluxe Edition from the Menu
Not paying full price this. Too expensive for me
Re: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Is Another £70 / $70 PS5 Game from Sony

Re: Control Fans Bemused by Free PS Plus Version for PS5, PS4
Yep, bought it on sale on January 5th. Not even downloaded it yet. Seeing about a refund but it is what it is. I would be pissed off even more if I had followed 505's advice and preordered the Ultimate Edition for the PS5 upgrade.

@Rob_230 exact same feeling on this.
Re: Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk Remake Developer Merged into Blizzard, No Longer a Lead Studio
Oh that sucks. But they are a studio who's efforts have been remaking other studios games.

Re: Metro Exodus Gets PS5 Version, New Entry in Development
Hey Sony, this is what we should expect from you rather than charging us for a "remaster"
Re: Poll: Is the PS5 DualSense Sony's Best Controller Yet?
Yes. It is true.
Re: Demon's Souls: How to Kill the Blue Dragon
