This one dropped bang on midnight on PS plus and 5am on gamepass so it was an exculsive for 5 hours haha. I was going to play on gamepass but they always have weird launch times to counteract the NZ loophole they could just fix themselves.
It needed a bit more time in the oven and september is stacked so this can only be a good thing. Shame Nacon didn't feel the need to let anyone know on the game store sites though!
I will try the trial and if I like it I will be able to get it on a steep discount by Xmas. Good old ubisoft loves to discount thier tier 2 sales games quickly to increse units. Only AC games are in that T1 bracket. Maybe the Avatar or Star Wars game could join AC.
Just finished my playthough in time for Starfield and a few other games coming up in September. Was pretty good overall apart from a few frame dips on the quality mode i used.
It was a good choice as BG3 should be availibe to as many people as possible. I always thought trying to get feature partity on a console that is now over £200 cheaper than the main was was the wrong idea. I guess you could argue the lack of RT on Series S games means this actually happened ages ago. Series S is a must have for PS gamers that want to play gamepass titles and basically the best AAA xbox games. I picked one up with my PS5 at launch and have not regretted it! I feel sorry for those who hate on other consoles for no logical reason.
Hopefully 2.0 comes out before the 1st of Sept as Starfield will be taking all the headlines (good or bad) from then followed by BG3 on PS5 and a slew of other good games in Sept.
1000% worth every penny of that £60. It's basically a brand new game for fans who haven't played before and a house knockdown and rebuilt aproach for previous fans, all by one of the best dev studios (P-studio) in the last decade. If you don't want to pay you can get it on launch day on gamepass so nobody need to wait if they don't want to.
November 9th - it will be delayed. Surpised they haven't said nothing yet. Maybe it might slip further. The lack of release date by now should have indicated that though. Based on the beta early 2024 isn't out the question. Nacon games often get delayed.
It was decent, The expections were correctly set and there were some nice bits in there. IF the expectations were not clearly laid out beforehand I would be more disapointed but I expected no Sony 1st party news and that is how it played out.
I expect a showcase Sept or Oct for Sony with the launch date of the new PS5 plus project Q in November.
We may also get a Spiderman 2 state of Play and if we are really lucky a Rise of Ronin State of Play (Due out early 2024).
I can imagine the main games for 2024 will be Rise of Ronin (early year) Stellar Blade (middle year) Wolverine (Late year) complimented by some strong 3rd party and addtional 3rd party exclusives.
Since 2020 the studio has really gone down hill. It was already not great but they killed off several good franchises to basically stick to AC and to buy up IP. The only thing they have going for them is that they have good game engine optimisation although we will see about the new engine.
@PixelDragon I mean to be fair Xbox Series X/S has sold nearly 25 million units so it's not that bad. They don't need to sell PS/Switch numbers, they just need the console side to compliment thier PC and mobile offer which it is doing. If the next console for Xbox does not do as well I can imagine they would revert to software and cloud only. One day in the future Sony will deem making consoles not viable. It will just be different times for diffrent busineses.
Looks like fun! with a packed Sept and a busy oct with catching up with those games plus spiderman, i'll prob pick this one up in Nov/Dec (Might even have a bit of a discount by then).
Wrong place to ask really, guessing most of the hardcore PS fans that would be on here wouldn't buy or play the game again. Might be the odd few though.
@poetwarlord Most of the staff are working on the next GTA game with the rest working on the RD and GTA online modes. That's why they outsource most of the remasters and ports now.
Looks pretty good for a 13 year old game. There are games that have come at this year that have been nowhere near as good! Says a lot about the enduring quality. £40 is a decent price for a new player. It won't offer anything new for old players though.
They wouldn't have won doing it either way as there is always a smaller group of players who just like to moan.
I plan to be playing this from the 2nd Sept and Starfield from the 1st. I'll also take a nice side helping of Eternights and Robocop towards the end of the month. I'll even throw in some FC 24 and try out that new Truck Driver game.
I basically decided to take the whole of Sept off for holiday - I think I will need it for this many games
Decided to pre order this for the PS5. Would have got it for PC if mine was capable and would have been a great way to pass time until Starfield. Now I will play both together before Enternights and the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC come out later in the month.
@BeenGamingSince_83 I did presume they would use the rdr2 map and tech to speed up a remake but looks like they are focusing their dev teams on GTA. I guess we'll all see if there is any upscaling tech which has been used on Xbox to good effect.
I mean it's a great game that still holds up well against most modern day releases, I honestly don't think any new player would complain with paying £40 for a large and well developed game. Obviously if you have played it like most of us echo chamberlords then it isn't worth it. It will sell well.
I for one never finished RDR so I may get it. There will be a signifcant number of younger players who are now old enough to play/understand the game.
Definitely thinking about picking this one up. I do wish it was out this month on console rather than the insanely stacked September. I'll be well into Starfield and heading towards eternights by that point
Will be playing this and Starfield, Then a nice bit of Enternights later in the month washed down with a good old bit of EA FC 24 and Robocop the finish the month off.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Was Delayed on PS5 to Avoid Going Neck to Neck with Spider-Man 2
A 2-3 week delay either way would have been smarter.

Pretty quiet week for PS with Sea of Stars a nice addtion on PS+. I'll be on my Xbox a lot more until Enternights comes out on the 12th.

@RobN To be fair I was able to get my PS4 version refunded pretty easily via a special PSN form, and I had played the whole game first too.

Re: Dead or Alive, You Should Watch This RoboCop: Rogue City PS5 Trailer
@michaelf Yeah I was lucky enough to try the beta and felt that the orignal end of sept date was a bit of a push.
Re: PS5 Fans Note Very Fast Start to 2024 Release Schedule
The only game i'll be getting on that list is Persona 3 Reload. Then i'll be waiting for the next Like a Dragon.

Re: Dustborn's Weaponised Words Hit Home on PS5, PS4 in Early 2024
Early 2024 probably not the best time to be launching this amoungst some other huge action story driven games. This is an August type of game.
Re: Persona 3 Reload Release Date Is 2nd February, Pray Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Isn't Around There Too
Infinite Wealth will be April. And even if GTA 6 came out i'd still be playing this game on lauch day!
2023 has been one of the best years for games in my lifetime, but 2024 is shaping up to be pretty good as well.

Re: Train Sim World 4 Lines Up a 26th September Release Date on PS5, PS4
@XenonKnight It came out early Sept 2022 so they are moving to yearly edtions it seems rather than every 2 years.

Re: Round Up: Baldur's Gate 3 Reviews Rate It as One of the Best RPGs Ever Made
BG3 down to 96 now, with 47 reviews. I think it will end up around the 94/95 mark the same as the glorious Persona 5 Royal (PS4).
Re: Red Dead Redemption PS4's Platinum Less of a Grind In Unexpected Bright Side
Great game, I hope lot's of new players can enjoy the rest of the RDR2 story like I got to.
Also its £40 not £50 for those who couldn't figure out the trans-atlantic conversion rate.

Re: Gamescom Opening Night Live Less About Announcements, More About Big Updates
It would be nice to see more of Rise of Ronin, which looks like it will be out early 2024. A bit more of Like a Dragon 8 would be nice too!
Re: When Is Gamescom Opening Night Live?
Got a feeling the updated PS5 and project Q will be showing up here if there is no Sony Showcase in the next couple of weeks.
Re: PS5 Release of Baldur's Gate 3 Will Mirror the PC Version at Launch and Beyond

Sept a stacked month with games like Starfield, BG3, Enternights and the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC on the menu!
