It is worth noting that Walkabout mini golf is increasing its price to $24.99 from May 1st reflecting the inclusion of dlc into the base game. Best to buy it before then if you are a fan.

I checked on the UK store an hour or so ago as I couldn’t believe it was 60 quid (as PushSq initially reported, they have since updated to show £50). Anyway it was on the store then, on the front page so I didn’t even have to search for it (which may have yielded zero results. ).

@Trousersnake I was praying that Sony had put their hand in their pocket and stumped up for PSVR2 support. Shame as it is a wasted opportunity, even more so because we still haven’t had a PSVR2 Skyrim upgrade.
So I too shall be waiting to see what happens as Bethesda have a nasty habit of making you purchase another copy.

Having proximity chat in MAG was great. Once I snuck into a base, was killing the enemies one by one and heard the panic chatter “I’ve just been killed by so and so”, first time I’d actually thought that I was good at a PvP game.
I don’t really remember any toxicity, even on that occasion although they were annoyed but then again the average age of a MAG player was (I’m guessing) a little higher than most MP games.

Miss MAG, such a good game.

In other news the PS Blog is running their game of the month poll and the number of people raving about Hitman VR (which is included in the poll) is refreshing to see.

@graymamba
I’ve yet to play this as well, I’m waiting for the psvr2 patch.
Will this be the news I’m waiting for?
(Highly unlikely).

@BowTiesAreCool
Teleporting isn’t supported in this version. There is support for smooth or snap turning.

Great review Aaron and a great port from IOI. A few further tweaks are needed imo (ability to offset holster position, ability to disable holster sound effect, adjustments to body dragging), all very minor things. However I must say I had quite a few crashes today with Sapienza (none with Paris) and I have read a few reports about crashing so they still have a few issues to fix.
But I’m enjoying Hitman psvr2 immensely and this is (for me) a top five psvr2 game.

One word of advice, do the tutorial, if you skipped it then you can find it in the Prologue section. I was watching PS Access play this week, Rob skipped the tutorial and then had a few issues....don’t be like Rob.

Definitely Hitman psvr2 for me, (very limited) previews seem great and pretty much what I expect from this port.

Plus Wanderer fragments of fate on the same day although my VR backlog is almost as big as my flat backlog so that may have to wait.

Just started Under The Waves, this months game club title.
Plus waving my arms like a madman in Saints & Sinners retribution.
Have a good weekend everyone.

Another game announced, Memoreum, is apparently also coming to PSVR2 and Steam after the Quest release in September. This is according to the devs.
The game looked pretty good.

@graymamba
I wouldn’t call it an immersive sim.
You basically get a number of missions to complete starting each from a hub area, it isn’t open world. Stealth is the name of the game as you are fairly weak and will die often and nearly every time if fighting more than one opponent (quick saving is essential). You have a number of skills, poisoning food, poison darts, cloning (used more for puzzles than anything).

Nice. Looking forward to this and glad to see the studio have still been working on the IP.
@graymamba Interested in this? I can recommend the previous two games, the latter one is much easier to get into and it doesn’t really matter too much if you haven’t played the other one. Good AA quality games.

@Luk4s
Horizon is in the current dealmania sale, just under 50,euros.
It has been on sale a few times according to platprices and always at the current sale price.
Also as I mentioned in a previous comment, the best deal in the current sale is Galaxy kart at around four euros. There is a demo so try and see if your VR legs can handle it.

Personally I’m swimming* in Psvr2 games, plus having recently signed up to PS Plus Premium means even more of them.
The last six months have been crazy and next month we have Wanderer and Hitman both releasing on the same day.
PS. Bargain in the recent sale is Galaxy Kart for £3 (for PS Plus peeps).

*That reminds me I must buy Subside.

@Cry_Zero
Unfortunately I don’t think it is getting a physical release.
Another poor decision imo.

Take a breath Push Square, your excitement levels canna take no more.

Apparently around 200 hours to platinum.

@Ravix
@graymamba
I know neither of you are interested in trophies and such but the first comment in PowerPyx’s trophy guide gave a great summation of their time with the game.

I haven’t bought any remasters of games that were playable on current gen, I fail to see the point.
However I have purchased remastered/ported PSVR1 games and I see value in those ports but clearly Sony do not...seriously where is Wipeout psvr2?

Anyway, a few multi platform VR devs have stated that their PSVR version is outselling the Meta version so perhaps Powerwash would have sold well on PSVR but I guess we will never know, which for me personally is their loss as I already have too many great VR games to play.

@therootfoldroot1
Indeed, sad reflection of modern day society imo.

Playing Valkyrie Chronicles on PS4 for the first time despite owning the PS3 version which I never got round to playing.

@colonelkilgore
I didn’t know there was a Stalker trilogy patch inbound which is nice especially as it is on my to buy list.
As for Deus Ex. Very annoying when there isn’t any stat provided to show whether you have voided a trophy or not. Crazy how basic and easy to provide information is absent.

It would be nice if they ported Skyrim to psvr2.
I would actually buy it again, for the fourth time (all on PlayStation consoles).
Of course if Oblivion supports psvr2 then I would buy that, probably not otherwise tbh.

Witcher 3 PS5. Clearing up the dlc trophies.
Plus GT7, I was also taken back by the hour weekly challenge then shocked again by how little the race winnings were.
Watching Death on the Nile and tempted to reinstall AC Origins.

@mcdreamer My condolences, sorry for your loss.

@colonelkilgore
Indeed. As Ron B would say “I don’t believe you”.

Arcade paradise vr is just under a tenner plus the three game bundle (inc tin hearts and last worker) is around 16 quid.

Playing RE4 remake in VR which is pretty fantastic, eclipsing RE7 VR1 for me whilst it isn’t as scary it is consistent in its quality.
Anyway just completed the second run which was knife and pistol only which was really good fun in VR, dual wielding works great.
Now onto a Pro rocket launcher run.

Oops, yes 9£ or 10 bucks/euros.

@GameOfTheGeneration
It is a £8 or 9 dollars/euros upgrade.

@Medic_alert
Have you tried using the toggle grip hybrid option in the Village settings? I had to use that because I too was dropping the gun all the time.

Shame it doesnt include a remaster (just a port would do) of Rush of blood, then I would have seen some value in this remake.
But hey I'm sure there is an audience somewhere and I hope they enjoy it as it is a good game....just be sure that nobody makes it out alive.

Just finishing up Thief, not bad but certainly not great either although I guess we have to take what we are given in the stealth genre.
Also watched For a few dollars more so itching to replay RDR2 but I will have to resist as my backlog is crazy.
Up next is RE village in VR and probably puzzling places to calm down.

@colonelkilgore I quite enjoyed Dead Space 3, played it in coop, there are coop trophies.

Great to see people mention Hitman PSVR2, that was also my standout from the show and I jumped up in delight when that was shown.
Midnight Walk was also a standout, I really enjoyed Lost in Random so I expect Midnight walk will be great with bags of charm.
Metro looked great as well although it wasn't a surprise and I'm trying to avoid seeing too much footage.

Ghost of Y was the obvious flat highlight.

And Hitman PSVR2, the show was worth it for that.
£9 or 10 buckaroos.
Out in December and trust me to have just plugged in my PSVR1 and started it this last week.

Hermen pops up at the end and says "One last thing, we've heard all the shouts about the price of the Pro so we have decided to include the stand."
The crowd goes wild.

That aside, fingers crossed for RE9 with VR2 support. I do expect lots of "built from the ground up" BS for the unnecessary remasters of Horizon and Days Gone.

Apparently Hermen has arranged a landfill site already, an undisclosed location possibly in New Mexico.
Let the hunt begin.

@colonelkilgore
And to think that Sony would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for those meddling kids (Passi and IGN).

Disney to Uncle Phil...

"You have chosen, poorly"

@Yousef-
Indeed.
Have you seen pictures of Mr Dogg at the Olympics?
Looking proper dapper in his equestrian outfit.

First of all, as Snoop Dogg would say "who?"
Second, you are more likely to get a Concord / Bloodborne crossover before a PS5 port.
Actually that might be kind of cool.

@colonelkilgore
Slightly off topic but gamescom related, apparently Atomfall (Rebellion) will have (to quote Xbox) hands on experiences.

I quite like frog games although I'm not very good at them, I manage the road bit okay but normally a turtle submerges whilst I'm waiting for a log.

Anyway based on that picture, it is official, Sony have lost the plot.

Sony will be praying that it is a gaas giant rather than the black hole that Concord is forecast to be.

Microsoft, sorry Xbox needs to buy up some media companies just so they can compete.

@naruball
Also bought Towers n Powers with 90% at £1.39.
It is a VR tower defence game similar to PixelJunk Monsters.

Bought Stilt (VR2) which at £1.59 has a massive (word of the day) 90% off, Shirley a misprice.

Great to see Astro bot at the top of the charts*

*PSVR1 NA chart.

Dying light is the standout deal for me.
Great game for just a couple of quid.

Bonkers.
Where are the titles that would actually be worth remastering such as Splinter Cell Blacklist (released just months before the new gen and crazily never ported) or Rainbow Six Vegas ?!

Ubisoft have lost the plot.

@colonelkilgore
Cheers dude but I've already played this flat so unlikely to buy again, it is a good game though.

Nice. I held off buying this until a VR edition was announced.
Along with this announcement last night at the UploadVr show, a game called Cold VR was also announced. It is a Super hot clone which normally would be a bit off but this is fine as seeing that Superhot doesn't seem to be coming to psvr2.

And as Kidfunk says where is power wash? I suspect that is locked up in some exclusive deal but I'm waiting for that.

The writing was on the wall when they introduced the product with a Blog post, everything since then has been half arsed.
Thankfully third party seems to be carrying the product pretty well.
A shame overall and people at Sony involved with this should be ashamed.

@WaveBoy
Hitman is only on VR1, which I've put away. I am using VR2 though and really enjoy it, just finished Switchback (Shirley Sony would have the intelligence to remaster Rush of blood for when the new Until Dawn comes out .... or perhaps).
Also playing Vertigo 2, GT7, Puzzling Places. Yet to start the Resident evils. I totally understand the frustration with Sony and they are doing their best to convince me to go PC next gen but I'm trying to forget that and enjoy VR2 for what the 3rd party are bringing to the table.
