Guess I still have plenty of time to finish the original then.

So it will be shut down after 13 months?

Have these influencers been in the army so they can recommend how good it is?

It's the internet and people don't tend to go on the internet to shout about their indifference.
I have the game on the PS4 in my backlog so not really concerned about it but $10 for shinier graphics and some extra levels which could be viewed as DLC seems OK to me.

How many people will eat beans on toast for a month so they can get all this?

@sanderson72 I may have to cave and get some third party ones at some stage but fingers crossed.

@MrHabushi They must see the traffic to the site so can see there is a demand. We can't be the only two looking for them and the margin on them has got to be good. They can't cost more than a few pounds to make.

Still waiting on those black faceplates to come back in stock.

The Game Awards said it was Baldur's Gate 3 and you say Spider-Man 2. GOTY is a fact so there can be only one. I have seem elsewhere that Alan Wake 2 takes the prize. This is getting ridiculous. We need consensus and uniformity. Any straying from the correct path shall be punishable by death until everyone is in a agreement. The real GOTY is of course Gollum.

What's this character's hit ratio like? This article says he is 2 for 2 misses for PlayStation. I assume he must have got something right at some point or we wouldn't even be getting an article?
My mate Dave says we are getting the Maximo duo HD collection with a third game due on the PS6. Dave has no clout though so I would take this with all the grains of salt you can imagine.

People complaining that a company is saving them from spending money?

There definitely needs to be obvious disclaimers at point of purchase on games that says that if the servers shut down the game will be rendered unplayable.

Releasing it late in the PS5 life cycle so they can sell you it again for the PS6 a year or two later.

@naruball I was thinking the same. That's about 15% of game time picking a character. I haven't played it but I would be a default character all day long. Character creation is just frustrating for me so I avoid it as much as I can in games other than picking a bright hair colour. Takes the edge of in serious scenes.

@TheMightyImp2 The kids have moved on. Fortnite skins are the 21st century equivalent of Nike trainers.

The expansion of Fortnite this week is impressive. Skins will never be impressive to me if they don't actually grant any perks. I don't care too much what I look like in real life (as long as me and my clothes are clean) so care even less in games.

I'll wait a couple more days for the official reveal.

@NinjaNicky Hopefully this game taught everyone a lesson to not pre-order games and maybe wait for a good few patches and hopefully a discount by the time you buy games to make sure they are a more complete package.

We are evolving. Rather than socks for Christmas they are getting virtual socks.

Nintendo needs to get into the horsepower race before Xbox kicks the bucket.

@MrMagic I don't think anyone said it was useless but not necessary for most people. I'm not interested as I prefer a big TV. Barely play my Switch handheld and will be getting a dock for my Steamdeck so I can play it more.
What's the point in having a super powerful console and then playing it on a screen half the size of my dad's old TV I used to play F-Zero on?
That's just me though.

A re-release of the PS3 collection with a nice coat of paint would be good enough for me to dive in again.

That image certainly doesn't.

Started Ghost of Tsushima this week so continuing with that. Almost at the end of Act 2. Took me a while to get into it but loving it now. Taking my time with it and doing a lot of the side quests.

@bindiana The name of that game is so great it is too much for us to handle in the UK apparently.
It definitely gets my vote as one of the greatest game names.

I'll wait for the sale on the ultimate edition when it is complete.

Xbox owners waiting out on it hitting Gamepass. 8% on PS4 surely means this is the last entry on the system especially if it is 2 years until the next one.

1% Atari? Or maybe Evercade?

It is quite interesting that the past few weeks the Series X has sold 2500 in Japan. It was barely over 500 the weeks before. If Xbox was at its normal levels the PS5 would have still been on top with this week's numbers.

They won't be planning on making many of those disc drive separates for the new PS5 model then.

@Loamy The only game they would give 10/10 for is the one where you browse the internet giving the lowest possible score in polls.

A remake of the original would be appreciated. I preferred that to the sequel as I enjoyed 2 but the bit with the boat really annoyed me at the time.

Do many people have room for a load of CODs to be installed at once? Wouldn't all those games listed swallow up the whole of a base PS5 SSD?

Not as small as I pictured in my head compared to the original. Looks about an inch shorter in width and depth and a touch thinner.

I am guessing Spiderman made more money though.

I assume the 1s are from.people playing the Xbox version of the game.

If you drew a line representing this game and when it will release you will get an asymptote never reaching the release date axis.

@get2sammyb Remind us when they shut the servers down as I will forget in 20 years. Hopefully it won't be a problem as long as the PS8 is backwards compatible.

Surely this is only a concern if you try and add one after the servers have closed which would likely only occur at that point if the drive failed which would be no worse than if the drive failed on the current model.
By that point I am sure some enterprising soul or souls will have worked out how to get around it.

Spiderman wins the sprint but Mario will win the long distance event. Mario will sell better once Santa starts filling his sack.

Sounds like a fairly solid collection.
I'll pick this up at some point. Still only ever played the original with special missions and the special missions of the sequel. I have the collection on PS3 but this seems the most convenient way to play in 2023.

That's one way to push people to digital but if I take my tin foil hat off it is probably just a production issue. Disappointing for those that bought it physical and can't play as at this point it is just a very expensive coaster. Hopefully those affected will get sorted in one way shape or form but it's a shame they couldn't play on release after coughing up the cash.

A director of a game saying don't buy this full price and wait for a discount would be more newsworthy.

Super Mario Wonder as it was just over half the price of Spiderman 2 and I know it will end up on PS plus eventually. Getting old means budgetary constraints.

@MrHabushi That's disappointing as the slim probably means the black ones will never be back in stock.

No dub or physical release is going to hit the early sales on this one.

Can't wait for Candy Crush exclusively on Xbox.

A lot of work for a game that will be offline within a year of coming out.

If Naughty Dog are just doing remakes now then how about the Jak and Daxter trilogy? That would be more worthwhile than this.

The person in charge of microtransactions is basically the modern day bully who steals lunch money from kids.

Seems a long winded way of saying Oct 5, 12am (your local time).
