@get2sammyb The PS6 will be a thing and likely a PS7 as long as the PS6 sell like the PS5 but the handheld PS6 is the rumour here. Hoping it's not just a PS Portal 2.
At least they won't be charging for the PS5 Pro upgrades on these remasters. He doesn't state it is a PS4 game explicitly, just implied, so we can hope it is a slightly older game.
@LuXifer I thought exactly the same. Either that or when the bosses left they pulled a Jerry Maguire and they all Renee Zellwegered (don't know her characters name as it isn't in the movie title).
Technically the Pro is cheaper than a lot of people paid for a launch PS5. I can't see scalpers being able to double the retail price of one of these though.
Live service games are like your local pub. You occasionally go to different pubs and dabble in the new ones that open, a rarity these days, but you always go back to what and who you know.
If they go F2P it won't cost much to refund the 25000 who bought it I guess. Has the game actually got much in the way of microtransactions to make money though?
Most people who are caught by this will still shell out for the next early access game from Ubisoft as the FOMO is just too strong. I assume the update will give them a message saying this or there will be a lot of people who just blindly carry on.
I hope the boat sequence near the end doesn't take me as long this time around. Seemed to take me forever all those years ago. It was about 5 in the morning by the tine I got to that point though.
I think game prices are set now to counteract all of the 'I'll wait for a sale/PS Plus" crew. If people want to subsidise the more thrifty of us, then let them knock themselves out.
The facial animations appear as though all the characters have had a lot of plastic surgery to me. Especially the female character with the stiff upper lip, literal rather than figurative.
The price point almost had me, but the buy it so we can make a sequel con is making it even more tempting. Although we all know it has minimal chance of happening, that glimmer of hope is worth £20 for me.
I think the people in charge of money at Microsoft have been watched Field of Dreams or Wayne's World 2 too many times. People don't just turn up if you build it. You need to tell people what you've built.
@The_Pixel_King I believe you should just be able to purchase this as a one off rather than go with a Premium sub. It should work out cheaper unless there are other games on that tier you want to play as well.
@GamingFan4Lyf That's about as far as I got as well. Played the previous one until completion but just wasn't feeling this one at the time. Maybe when GTA VI comes out I will be ready for V.
@GamingFan4Lyf That doesn't explain PS Store purchases though does it as you can only buy it there once? Unless you can buy it on a different profile and get the currency on your main?
The amount of time the Sands of Time remake is taking doesn't seem to fit this fill the release schedule business as they don't seem to be very quick on that front.
@trev666 I think half the fun of playing games for some people is paying full price for a broken game to then moan about it online. No one cares about you complaing about a game 6 months after release online.
I'll likely just sport the default suit unless there is a reason to change to a different suit when I do finally get to play the game. Just because it looks cool is not a reason for me.
@Fartingale If another company wants to pay big bucks to advertise a game that is coming to another console at the same time as all the others then let them. Unless you pre-order the moment it is announced on another console and can't cancel said pre-order so you can pre-order on your console of choice I don't see the problem.
It's Sony's attempt to upsell Switch owners to a PS5 while putting a few extra pennies in the bank. The Last of Us Part 3 will not be on the Switch 2 so these people can sleep easy tonight knowing this.

Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device
@get2sammyb The PS6 will be a thing and likely a PS7 as long as the PS6 sell like the PS5 but the handheld PS6 is the rumour here. Hoping it's not just a PS Portal 2.
Re: Rumour: PS6 Could Span a Console and Handheld Device
The PS5 Pro is now announced so the rumour mill moves on to the next big thing.
Re: Sony Priming 'Even Less Exciting' PS5 Remaster for State of Play
At least they won't be charging for the PS5 Pro upgrades on these remasters.
He doesn't state it is a PS4 game explicitly, just implied, so we can hope it is a slightly older game.
Re: Horizon Zero Dawn's PS5, PC Remaster Is Very Much the Real Deal
I'll stick with the free PS4 version from a couple of years ago that they gave away.
Re: PS6 Is Already Deep in Development, Backwards Compatibility of High Importance
I am looking forward to playing PS4 games on the PS6.
Re: You Can't Buy Concord on PS5, PC Anymore, But You Can Buy the Official Merch
$25 for a mug. Got to make up the costs of this game somehow I guess.
Re: Annapurna Interactive Exodus Sees Entire Staff Resign
@LuXifer I thought exactly the same. Either that or when the bosses left they pulled a Jerry Maguire and they all Renee Zellwegered (don't know her characters name as it isn't in the movie title).
Re: Lack of Competition from Xbox Partly Why PS5 Pro Is $700, Says Analyst
I can't see the PS5 Pro selling that many units by that time unless the cost of the PS6 is ridiculous or it doesn't release until around 2029.
Re: Despite Price Point, Analyst Firm Expects PS5 Pro to Sell Like PS4 Pro
It's an increase of 80% in the UK over the digital PS5 slim and 67% with the disc drive versus the disc version.
Re: The Crew 2 and Motorfest to Receive Offline Modes in Future Updates on PS5, PS4
@Golem25 It looks like The Crew 2 is currently 79p in the UK so worth picking up now.
Re: How to Pre-Order PS5 Pro
Technically the Pro is cheaper than a lot of people paid for a launch PS5. I can't see scalpers being able to double the retail price of one of these though.
Re: Poll: Are You Sold on PS5 Pro?
If it was aimed at the hardcore audience it should have included a disc drive.
Re: PS5 Pro Showcase Set for Tomorrow, Hosted by Mark Cerny
I hope they show Concord running on it.
Re: Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
Just wait for a sale. I got a black one with Forbidden West for £45 the other year. Good old Argos.
Re: Concord Will Remain in Prime Video's Secret Level Anthology Series
@jrt87 I'd like to think they would give it another go as F2P but you are probably right.
Re: Concord Will Remain in Prime Video's Secret Level Anthology Series
Maybe a F2P relaunch around that time will be the best chance this has at a second life.
Re: Reaction: PlayStation Needs to Take a Long, Hard Look at Itself
Knack 3 not looking like such a bad idea now!
Re: Rumour: Ubisoft Live Service Shooter XDefiant on Brink of Being Shut Down
Live service games are like your local pub. You occasionally go to different pubs and dabble in the new ones that open, a rarity these days, but you always go back to what and who you know.
Re: How Long Does It Take to Find a Match in Concord on PS5, PC?
If they go F2P it won't cost much to refund the 25000 who bought it I guess. Has the game actually got much in the way of microtransactions to make money though?
Re: Sony Accused of Signing Secret PS5 Console Exclusivity Agreement with Black Myth: Wukong
Why bother with this when you see the sales of PS vs Xbox and it is at best for Xbox 10% vs 90% for PS?
Re: PS5 Fans Who Paid $110 for Star Wars Outlaws Early Access Asked to Restart Saves
Most people who are caught by this will still shell out for the next early access game from Ubisoft as the FOMO is just too strong.
I assume the update will give them a message saying this or there will be a lot of people who just blindly carry on.
Re: Spare a Thought for Secret Level's Concord Episode
The deal was you can do an episode of God of War as long as you do one for Concord.
Re: PS5, PC FPS Concord's Poor Player Numbers Have Predictably Gone Viral
Those that plan on playing it later down the line are hopeful unless that later is before the end of this year.
Re: PS5, PC Hero Shooter Concord Was in Development for 8 Years
8 years to develop and it will likely be dead within a year of release. Seems like a waste of time to me.
Re: PS5 Gets a Staggering, Officially Licensed 8TB SSD
This is just for next year's COD.
Re: Preview: Silent Hill 2 PS5 Grows in the Right Ways for Anticipated Remake
I hope the boat sequence near the end doesn't take me as long this time around. Seemed to take me forever all those years ago. It was about 5 in the morning by the tine I got to that point though.

Re: Never Has a Game Looked So Good Yet So Jank as PS5's Neo Berlin 2087
The facial animations appear as though all the characters have had a lot of plastic surgery to me. Especially the female character with the stiff upper lip, literal rather than figurative.
Re: It Took PS5 Longer Than PS4 to Pass 4 Million Units Milestone in the UK, But There's Context
At least it beat the PS3. Wonder when/if the Series X/S will hit that milestone.
Re: The Smash Hit Vampire Survivors Finally Comes to PS5, PS4 Later This Month
I got about 15 hours logged on Steamdeck and that is about my limit. Fun for a bit but gets old quickly. OK for the price point.
Re: Shadows of the Damned 2 Possible if PS5, PS4 Remaster Sells Well
The price point almost had me, but the buy it so we can make a sequel con is making it even more tempting. Although we all know it has minimal chance of happening, that glimmer of hope is worth £20 for me.
Re: Randy Pitchford Says Fans Will Be 'Very, Very Happy' with Next Borderlands Game
@mariomaster96 It would be a breath of fresh air and it would lower expectations.
Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Update Adds Game Session Sharing via URL, Here Are the Patch Notes
That way of inviting someone seems more convoluted than just inviting direct via the console?
Re: 'PlayStation's Blessed with Marketing Budgets We're Not Able to Enjoy,' Xbox Bigwig Bemoans
I think the people in charge of money at Microsoft have been watched Field of Dreams or Wayne's World 2 too many times. People don't just turn up if you build it. You need to tell people what you've built.
Re: You Simply Have to Play This Stone Cold PSP Tactics Classic on PS5, PS4
@The_Pixel_King I believe you should just be able to purchase this as a one off rather than go with a Premium sub. It should work out cheaper unless there are other games on that tier you want to play as well.
Re: PS Store Sales Charts: GTA 5 Manages to Dethrone Elden Ring in Shadow of the Erdtree Release Month

Re: Cancelled Over 10 Years Ago, PS2-Era Action Game Captain Blood Returns on PS5, PS4
@riceNpea I have a feeling bit is going to be like now but worse and warmer obviously.
Re: One of PS2's Most Overlooked First-Party Games Is Coming to PS5, PS4
I remember enjoying this one back in the day. Not sure if I want to give it another go if it hasn't aged well but the trophies may draw me in.

@Rob_230 Leaving just Nintendo then as Xbox are on their way out too.
Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2024 Great or a Letdown?
Best thing was the trailer for a terrible looking mobile game towards the end.
Re: PS5, PS4's Brand New PS2 Emulator Features Up-Rendering, Rewind, Quick Saves, More
@Orpheus79V That's the only reason I would get a PS5 Pro so I'm out.
Re: PS5, PS4's Brand New PS2 Emulator Features Up-Rendering, Rewind, Quick Saves, More
@ProfessorNiggle Maybe the real selling point of the PS5 Pro will be PS3 emulation.
Re: Random: DOOM Co-Creator John Romero Reveals Hellish Way 'Gib' Is Properly Pronounced
At least the explanation makes sense. The pronunciation of GIF just seems awkward, it is pronounced with a soft G as in Graphics Interchange Format!?!
