@Davros79 Regarding your comment about Platinums; it is absolutely a vanity thing. I have all 70 of mine studded into a jacket like some kind of PlayStation Elvis.
@ToOGoodOfAPlaya Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not defending the quality of titles at all, it just seems to me that a few people need to get a better understanding of what Sony's actually capable of offering up for free on a monthly basis.
I honestly don't know what people are expecting to be in the PS4 lineup each month. AAA games that were available at the PS4's launch are not going to appear until at least Christmas, it's as simple as that.
I know indie titles aren't everyone's favourite thing - I haven't played any in great depth since Resogun - but at least we're getting something. Chances are you'll own the AAA games that eventually get put on Plus due to the limited library. Sony have sort of shot themselves in the foot there.
Wow. That was... I feel sorry for the people behind this. It's obviously been in production for an absolute age and they're trying to shove it out there, but who is it for? Who would this have appealed to even in the wake of the game's release?
@N711 I understand where you're coming from, but I'd still prefer a review to clarify which version provides the superior experience if the title is on multiple platforms and isn't cross-buy.
@N711 I've personally chosen the vita version over the PS4 edition because I want to play it when I go on holiday. The better experience may be found at home, but having the choice is no bad thing
Shawn Layden is now on my list of favourite videogame industry humans that are strangely endearing for all the wrong reasons. Dwavid Cawge is clearly still in the top spot, but there you go.
Thank you all for your kind words! As Sammy said, these take quite a bit of effort which is why they don't appear too often, but I'm thrilled you're all enjoying it.
@Punished_Boss The video doesn't take the list seriously either.
@jesterovking That certainly would make loading more interesting, although it's worth pointing out that before they switched off the servers, a number of new loading animations suddenly popped up on my end - including a really cool Doctor Who-esque time tunnel. Hopefully there'll be lots of alterations before it releases!
@RawShark Interesting. I think I was hoping that my choices would make Bigby act slightly more calm (which made his bull in a china shop approach to affairs seem a little out of place).
Having said that, the ending was pretty cool depending on your final choice. smokes cigarette
I really hope there aren't too many people upset by this piece. I bloody adore TimeSplitters, and I'm as upset as the next guy that we've heard nothing but whispers for 6 years. Hopefully you can all enjoy the joke and we can make enough noise (again) so that Crytek will be forced to sit up and take action!
@rogue_agent that they do, although that still works in favour of my point: all the additional content seems to be an attempt to flesh out, what is technically, a demo.

@ReigningSemtex As nice as that would be, they seem to have rebuilt it from the ground up, so I doubt it.
Re: Naughty Dog May Be Graphical Wizards, But It Was Hell Getting The Last of Us on PS4
Genuinely looking forward to this one, it'll give the multiplayer community a much-needed kick up the arse!
Glad they persevered.

The Paris-based opener to this DLC is wonderful. Wish there was a whole game set in a similarly idyllic location.
