My son has a physical copy of COD: Black Ops - Cold War so I’m getting a jump on the game being free on PSN and starting it now. I’m actually really enjoying it. Far better than I expected. Just hoping that the Fireteam game mode fires back up next week cuz the servers are absolutely DEAD for it and there’s a trophy tied to it…….

For me, this is one of the best months in an incredibly long time. In addition to Alan Wake, which I’ve been debating getting for ages, I’m most looking forward to COD: BO Cold War. I really enjoy shooters and I just never got around to this one. Pretty stoked for these to show up.

I'm stunned there's actually a market for this....... Granted, I'm over a decade removed from being the parent of a young child, but still...........

I’m definitely interested in playing this but not for $40. This looks like a ‘$20 and under’ sale title to me.

@NoCode23 Exactly the same here! I feel like that always happens when I buy an older game. Glad I'm on the right side of it this time!

If this holds out to be true I’m gonna say this is one of the best months (for me personally at least) in a VERY long time and maybe ever!

I really want to play this game but after all the bad to middling reviews, I can’t justify getting it until it’s deeply discounted. And at this point I may just wait until either the Gold Edition is on sale or the game AND SP are both on sale separately.

Hard pass. Not a fan of LeBron or his bad designs. Would rather have something PlayStation related if at all.

I’m traveling this weekend so I’m not gonna get a chance to play much but once I get back to Atlanta later today I’ll download KILLZONE: Liberation for free and play that and I may also pick up Evil West in the current PS Store sale.

@NinjaNicky I’m a pretty hardcore trophy hunter and platinum pretty much everything I play, if not get 100% completion on the trophy stack, DLC included. I can only speak for myself, but I just enjoy having tasks and things to do within the game that I might not normally shoot for or experience and it helps me get the most out of my purchases. It also extends the value of the game in some cases (sometimes unnecessarily so) and, it feeds my obsessive / compulsive nature. 😂😂😂. Bottom line it’s just become something I enjoy doing with my gaming. Hope that helps answer your question!

Glad to see this got trophy support! I might just end up playing this because of that. Gives me hope that if RESISTANCE: Retribution ever lands on PS Premium it will hopefully have trophies too

KILLZONE: Liberation has trophies (and pretty easy ones at that as far as I can tell) so it looks like that will be the next game I play!

Shamefully,, I bought the Season Pass for this underwhelming game so I’ll play through this story DLC. But everything else that’s been released for it has been a total waste of $$ IMHO…..

Thanks but no thanks. I’m fine with whatever the standard physical edition comes with, when I get it, likely on sale. I’ll probably pick up the season pass too, but beyond that? I don’t need anything else.

That’s nice. But since I still have my PS3, 4, 5 & Vita, until they drop RESISTANCE: Fall Of Man or Retribution WITH trophy support on PS Premium, I’ll stick w extra thank-you. The one caveat here is if KILLZONE: Liberation gets trophy support next week, they might get me there but that remains to be seen.

This looks great but man September and October are looking to be absolutely STACKED with (potentially) great game releases. Going to be a LOT of competition for my gaming dollars toward the end of the year!

I just saw the updated article - I wonder if KILLZONE: Liberation is going to get trophy support??

I've already played it but Far Cry 6 was a solid return to form for the series. Probably the best since FC 3. If anyone likes those games and hasn't played it, it's a really solid entry, and that includes the DLC's for it as well. At least IMHO.....

I’ve had this on my watch list and there it shall remain. This definitely looks interesting. Hope the delays are worth it.

This looks impressive and fun! Will likely pick this up at some point.

Cool. Can we have a release date?

I never played the original but this just looks amazingly good and I’ll absolutely play this at some point, but likely once the price drops or there’s a sale. I just can’t justify full price for games these days unless it’s something really special to me.

I wouldn’t say that I hate this game but I will say it in no way (art style, gameplay, etc) appeals to me and I’ll likely never play it. Just my tastes.

Still working my way through Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Chaotic Great Edition. Definitely fun and more of what you expect from Gearbox but I can’t seem to sit and sink more than a few hours at a time in it. Probably going to try the Lies of P demo out at some point too…..

There’s only 2 or 3 that I think are cool so that’s a pass for me. Some interesting designs for sure though!

@RaZieLDaNtE @playstation1995 When this drops if y'all want to co-op it, I'm down for that, time zones allowing. I'm always up for some good co-op on a fun game.

And yeah - Nioh is utterly fantastic as well! BTW, if y'all haven't tried Mortal Shell either, you need to check that one out for sure. There's a bit of a learning curve on it and it can be tough in spots, but both the base game and the roguelite DLC for it are also exceptionally good. That was another Soulslike that took me by surprise and I enjoyed every minute of it quite thoroughly!

I hadn’t heard of this until I saw it at SGF today and it definitely piqued my interest. Likely won’t buy until it’s on sale but provided it reviews well by critics and players alike, I’ll probably grab it at some point.

So incredibly stoked for this!!!!!! The first one was one of the biggest pleasant surprises in recent memory. I sank MANY, many hours into that game and loved every minute of it. Absolutely can’t wait for this!! As much as I’m dead set against pre-ordering games, I **might** make an exception here.

@Nepp67 That’s a real bummer to hear. A sequel to that game would have been fantastic! Oh well……..go figure and F EA!! LOL

Shadows Of The Damned wasn’t all that good IMHO but I loved ALICE: Madness Returns. THAT is what should get a remake. Just my 2 cents worth……

@dschons @Gaia093 Steelrising is a fantastic game!! THOROUGHLY enjoyed that one.

From what I've been reading about this game lately, this looks like it could be a sleeper hit for fans of the Soulsborne games. I know I'll end up playing this at some point.

I’ve had my eye on this since it was announced and I dig shooters so I’ll definitely end up playing this, but likely only after it’s gone on sale. I just can’t see paying $60-$70 for this.

I picked up Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands Chaotic Great Edition in the Days of Play sale so I’m playing that now. $90 worth of content for $36 - I couldn’t resist.

@Northern_munkey I was actually thinking the same thing. Though I don’t know I can really justify that kind of expenditure for one game (so far). And that’s if it even translates well to VR.

Bulletstorm is so utterly amazing!!! Criminally overlooked, a damn shame there was never a sequel and this actually makes me debate getting a PSVR2............if there were actually a few more games for it I had any interest in.

Too much money for too small a catalog of games that interest me. I’ll wait. And by the time I’m ready grab one, PSVR3 will likely be close enough to wait for that. 😂

Oddly, not one of these games interests me.

Seems to be a lot of people are quite happy with this month's selections, but unfortunately not I. Typical garbage month as far as I'm concerned. To each their own, for sure.....

Always hopeful that some of the games on my wishlist go on sale, but we shall see. Will more than likely take advantage of the 25% off to renew my PS Extra subscription, regardless. I’d be crazy not to.

Still playing through the DLC for Mortal Shell as I’m really enjoying it. Not sure if I’m going to 100% it or not, but until there’s a sale on something on my wish list it will keep me busy and satisfied.

@MFTWrecks I’m a HUGE fan of the Resistance series so I’d be all for having that come back, for SURE!! Killzone too - that was a great series as well. But there’s no denying that there’s a MASSIVE appeal and market for a ‘militaristic’ FPS, along the lines of COD, which neither of those series would really fill. I’ve never played SOCOM or MAG so I can’t comment on those. I just think they could come up with something altogether new and appealing.

Riiiiiiight. They’ll take COD away from Sony as soon as they can. Make no mistake - that’s what this whole purchase was about to begin with. If I were Sony, I’d get busy (like a year ago!) on creating a new military FPS franchise to compete w COD and make it typical Sony exclusive quality good.

There’s over half a year to go and a LOT of games coming out that we have yet to see much of. I like their confidence but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet.

Games I wanted to see at least SOMETHING about but saw none of:

Remnant 2
HELLBOY: Web of Wyrd
THE LAST OF US: Factions
ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erd Tree
Six Days In Fallujah
Stellar Blade
Ripout
Luna Abyss
Pragmata
Silent Hill 2
Silent Hill: f
Alone In The Dark
Lies Of P
Quantum Error
MARVEL’s Wolverine
Instinction
Beneath
Crysis 4
Judas
Bloodborne remake / remaster / sequel

I know many of these are multi-platform so hopefully some make an appearance at the Summer Games Show, but still……. what a mostly LAME show!

It would definitely be good to hear SOMETHING regarding where they’re at with this title, but I really hope they just take their time with it and don’t release it until it’s TRULY ready. As eager as I am for it, I can wait…..

I’m guessing one of these titles will be a Sony exclusive FPS to fill the hole that could be made if COD ever moves off the platform due to the MS purchase of Activision. Doing so sooner rather than later will give them time to gain space in their consumer base’s mind and to hone said title to the liking of the fan base. Just a guess but I dot think I’m going too far out on a limb with it.

Still working through Mortal Shell. I’m now doing the ‘no hit’ playthrough where so much as one hit from anything will kill you. Not impossible, but definitely a PITA. Pretty good game though. Especially considering it was made by only 4 people.

Killzone's comin' back?!?!?!?! SWEET!!!

LOL (although that would be really cool if it were ever to happen)

@Northern_munkey Agreed. That was my biggest issue with the mode. They just couldn’t get anything right about that game for a LOOOOONG time.
