Every single subscription service works exactly like this, why would anyone think otherwise? Netflix, Prime, Disney+ remove a movie/show you can't watch it, Gamespass removes a game you can't play it. It's very simple.....
These shows are pointless unless you show mostly gameplay. I think we got about 2 minutes of gameplay in a 2 hour show. This is why E3 doesn't work as not every developer has gameplay to show all at the same time. Regular State of plays are a much better idea. Even xbox showed a fair bit of gameplay in their show which is a massive improvement over xbox usual showing. Geoff needs to take note of what Sony does and what looks like xbox are starting to do.
I played the entire game on 'fidelity mode' it looked amazing and played really smooth, couldn't tell it was 30fps tbh. Nice that the 'performance mode' has been improved though, be nice to have a more responsive experience and not lose out on visuals but tbh it was awesome at 30fps.
Anna kournikova smash court tennis was so much fun! Wish they made a modern version of that. That and virtua tennis are probably the only tennis games that were enjoyable to play for me.
@B-I-G-DEVIL I mean if you they have given you 11 games you want to play, average of £40 each that's £440 worth for £60. Sounds like a good deal to me.
Not sure what he's on about tbh, there will always be people making their own games in the bedroom or basement and now more than ever the tools to do it are more available and accessible then ever. Just look at dreams, you don't even have to be a master programmer to design games in there then look at unreal engine, it's free to use and free to publish your games on epic up to the first £million. Indies will live on.
The campaign was really good in my opinion and if they'd left it at that it would of been fine. Advertising it as a co-op multiplayer is what has done the damage, yes the combat is great fun with friends but the actual multiplayer 'endgame' missions called 'Hive' are played in single player only. Its just totally bizarre why they didn't make the hive missions multiplayer especially when you have AI teammates?! They definitely missed a trick here.
I hadn't installed the ps4 version on my PS5 as I wanted to see what the upgrade brought, yes I had to Google how to transfer my save and had to wait to download the ps4 version which FYI you only need to download the first 15gb not the full game. But it wasn't difficult to do and I'd say most people who play it consistently on ps4 had already done the transfer before they upgraded. I think there are people who look for things like this to get upset over, it's like they get some kind of gratification from complaining about Sony. The Internet is a sad place right now.
The copying process is a lot quicker on PS5 in my experience. Only takes a few minutes now instead of nearly an hour on my PS4. I tried a ssd in my ps4 and although it did improve things it was still extremely slow.
As long as the game is designed for the PlayStation hardware and then ported later then I'm totally fine with it. But if they start making games with pc hardware in mind like many third party studios do the quality will drop and I'm not okay with that. PlayStation studios make fantastic video games and are really top notch quality and to lose that for a bit of extra profit would be a bad move for gaming.
The trouble Sony have is that some small low cost games can be completed in two hours. People would abuse this, get the trophies then get a refund. The developers of these games would suffer in the end.
Plenty of other games on PlayStation, yes Bethesda has made some good games in the past but most people buy playstation for the outstanding first party games they produce. Most people aren't going to jump ship just to play a couple of games which won't be released for a few years and personally I'm not going to buy a second console just for these few games. They will lose sales this way from PlayStation and Nintendo owners so it's there loss in my eyes.
@hoffa007 You put the PS4 disc into the PS5, install the game then go to the store and their will be an upgrade download it and away you go. But you must have the PS4 disc inserted into the PS5 to play it.
@ShaiHulud Not really as they were designed to run on a standard HDD, they will probably load a little faster but you'd be wasting space on your SSD. You'd be better off installing PS4 games (that don't have an upgrade) on an external HDD.
@Truthhurts2 It is the same CPU as the series X with a slightly slower clock speed, it has a much smaller GPU which will do resolutions up to 1440p, it has 10gb RAM vs 16gb on the series x, it has less memory (512gb) and no disc drive.
Just for the record, Microsoft didn't intend to release any info until next week as confirmed by Phil Spencer, they only did it because someone leaked it first giving them no choice but to quickly come out. If Microsoft were planning to reveal next week then most likely Sony are as both companies would have had inside information. So people saying Microsoft beat them to it aren't strictly correct, if it wasn't for the leak we would still have no clue what a Series S was let alone when and how much it would go on sale for. Although I do think Sony and Microsoft should have told us when they were planning to announce new info in advance, instead of these random leaks and reveals we've been getting.

No call of duty multiplayer has ever been 'realistic`. Vanguard will be no different to all the others, don't be fooled people.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy With Your PS Plus Games for September 2021?
Overcooked is a really fun game so for anyone who hasn't got it then it's a great game to get for free. Shame it isn't the PS4 version aswell though.

@awp69 That was my thoughts also but I do think they might release a next gen version on unreal engine 5 at some point.

I feel as though the quality will drop now they are multi-platform, hopefully I'm wrong.

Microsoft and Ubisoft have a current marketing deal with their latest games so it wouldn't surprise me if this was done on purpose.
