@Mostik
god yes Time Crisis would be another fantastic one in VR!!

@ThorsHammer

Looks sick indeed, for me maybe Puke-arama!

That screenshot makes me wish the House of the Dead recent port was put on PSVR2, would be totally brilliant.

"More improvements to the frame rate will be delivered in future updates, the publisher confirms."

Think I'll hold off purchase for a bit longer then.

I remember laughing like a maniac when I got hold of the lawnmower and mowed down loads of zombies, ah happy days...

Really hope they get the old Lucasfilm Atari 800 games on there. Rescue on Fractalus, Ballblazer and The Eidelon would be a real trip down memory lane for me.

@purple_mouse_gaming
Haha, I'll have to cheat but I always remember when my mate and I fired up JSR for the first time on Dreamcast and laughed out loud at the old lady voice saying that line in the soundtrack.

EDIT: OMG it's a sample from George Michael's 'Too Funky'!!!!
Which in itself is a sample from Hancock's Half Hour??!!!!
WTF!!!

I felt it was like a breath of fresh air, with so many nice little touches by the Devs.

Like everyone else, waiting for the 2B crossover.

"Would you stop playing with that radio of yours. I'm trying to get to sleep. Yay!"

PSA from FROM Software, and probably the only tip you'll get to make the game less hard (I won't say easier).

Seems all the fools rushed in and got handed an ass kicking from Mitzi & co, for not reading the tips I bet. All those people wanted to be first to beat the bosses and fell straight into the trap, I think FS want you to explore every corner of the map to get the most out of the game.

Amusing and probably the only tip you'll ever get from FS.

GAME in Surrey Quays is far more like a toy shop then a game store these days.

I think if Sony had signed the game as a timed exclusive, then they would announce it as such.
You know, like they do with all their previous timed exclusives.

Well I think I'll just have to buy this out of principle!
Children of the Atom was one of the go to arcade games my mate and I played alot back in the day, so will be wonderful to dive back in.

Still got PTSD from platting the main game. Can't face going back.

In the Worlds before Monkey,
Primal chaos reigned,
Heaven sought order.
But the Phoenix can fly only when its feathers are grown.
The four worlds formed again and yet again,
As endless aeons wheeled and passed.
Time and the pure essences of Heaven,
The moisture of the Earth,
And the powers of the Sun and the Moon
All worked upon a certain rock – old as Creation,
And it magically became fertile.
That first egg was named Thought,
Tathagata Buddha, the Father Buddha,
Said, ‘With our thoughts we make the world.’
Elemental forces caused the egg to hatch,
from it then came a stone Monkey.
The nature of Monkey was irrepressible!

MONKEY!!!!

I think it looks rather good myself, however I must say 'The Trailblazer ' is a terribly boring designed starship.
I was hoping for something a bit more Millennium Falcony really.

I can play PS2 Tomb Raider Legend in 4K 60fps using AetherSX2 on my phone.
I can understand the 'preservation' aspect for keeping it as but I don't see why if bedroom programmers can create a PS2 emulator that has a range of FPS & Resolution options, the boffins at Sony HQ can't.

It's not early access, the game is ready for release then. It's just late access for everyone who's not prepared to pay more.

Greedy from the publishers, I wish people don't fall for it. Just wait that 2 weeks, or maybe even 2 months and get it on sale.

Lots of other previews have suggested it looks really good, GTA in Space is one of the quotes I've read.
Eurogamer come across often as elitist to me, similar to EDGE, quite happy to turn their noses up at something popular but then champion the smallest of new indie games to death. Although there's nothing wrong with small new indie games, just a lack of journalistic balance sometimes, probably to keep the clicks up and maintain the self indulgent impression that they are one of the go to sites for news and opinion (we all know that title belongs to PushSquare

Token comment about waiting for the 'royale/golden/etc ' version...

This is how it's always been and how I like it.
Sony - under promise and over deliver.
MS - over promise and under deliver.

MS need the hype, Sony doesn't as it's already dominant and it's brand prestige allows it some faith that it's exclusives will be very good.

You (the public) only want more announcements so you can feel more excited and have more to talk about which is fair enough as present and future customers. But please don't be greedy.

Ragnarok next for the PC gamers isn't it.
Wouldn't want to spoil them with too many games at once.

A chance for Sony to move all those old M2 memory cards they've got stacked up!

I jest of course, lets hope if it's real then standard SD cards are the norm at least.

I just watched 'Ringu' for the first time in over 20 years this weekend and he's in it!!
Weird he looks just the same as in Shogun but a little less wrinkles maybe, was a right surprise as just finished Shogun last week too.

Porn gateway opens

Wish SEGA would do an arcade collection similar to Atari 50 but with all the games emulated in the Yakuza games (and maybe a few more).

Sloppy seconds...

I always thought Gibs was short got Giblets anyway!

I heard that next year there's going to be an Assassins Creed game where you are a Zulu warrior in the 1870's fighting against the British.
However in the good sense of diversity and inclusion, your character will be a Japanese Zulu.

Nice for PC gamers to enjoy the high quality gaming of (former) Playstation exclusives.
GoT is a great game, built with real love for the subject matter.

Another Stellar Blade burger shot!
Roll on photo mode!

I was expecting this to get a really low score...

Nun!!! (none)

I'll get my wimple.

Yep, I wanted X-com 2 with Marvel characters, the cards and the friendship stuff put me right off.

@Neverwild
Indeed, you are right on it.
After seeing how many patches and DLC Valhalla went through, 3 years is actually a pretty safe bet for a complete version.

I'm pretty sure that the demo had alot more blood in it though, particularly on Eve after chopping up various Naytiba.

I have absolutely no problem with PS games appearing on PC, quite happy for those guys to enjoy premium console games too.

Apart from the recent cry-babyness, I think having Helldivers 2 on both PC & PS has been pretty good IMHO, certainly meant the player numbers have been consistently high (too high on release of course).

"This is all getting dictated by [Microsoft CEO] Satya [Nadella] and [Microsoft CFO] Amy Hood, and it all stems from the Activision acquisition."

Well Phil asked Papa Nadella for a $70 billion cheque to buy a new toy, once that happened the future of Xbox went into the accounts departments pocket.

To put into context, the US government only recently decided to give Ukraine $60 billion dollars to help with the war with Russia.

So it's not small potatoes and leaves a huge mark on the ledger (especially after the $7.5 billion for Bethesda) so Xbox was always going to be controlled from the top afterwards, for better or for worse. Hence why we're seeing all the MS exclusives coming to Playstation.

(In case you missed it, we're talking about BILLIONS of Dollars).

Xbox is no longer about creativity, it's solely about balancing the books, and that is why their games have no soul anymore.

Here's a good one
"Microsoft reportedly told staff that the company needs smaller games for the added prestige, one day after it closed down the studio that made them a smaller, prestigious game."

https://www.theverge.com/2024/5/8/24152137/xbox-hi-fi-rush-tango-gameworks-matt-booty

That Matt Booty, what a *****!

'Like peanut butter on bread'
Well there's a man surely earning his multi million dollar salary, what a joker.

So the dev studios are the bread? And the dev studios resources are the peanut butter...wait no that's not right.

Xbox president Matt Booty said that the company's studios were spread too thin, like "peanut butter on bread", and that leaders across the division felt understaffed.

So the studios are the bread, and the peanut butter is the staff? So the answer is to cut the amount of peanut butter as leaders already felt understaffed? What??!!!

Or by having smaller bread the peanut butter can be spread more thickly, ah I'm beginning to see now, so drop the studios to reduce the bread which means dropping staff that reduces the peanut butter too though....

@makk_zucc
Out in 2 weeks??!!! Really!!!

I didn't know, I have seen ZERO marketing for it.
If this was a Playstation tentpole release there'd by posters all over the underground and on London buses, with perhaps a Senua statue appearing somewhere overnight for example.

If they'd 'jumped ship' to MS, they would be closed down by now.

So Lords of the Fallen (new one) is now £30 and is version 1.5!!
I think there won't be any more updates now as the roadmap is complete with the latest 'Master of Fate' release.

Performance fixed on PS5 now, worth a punt?

'Darwinist jungle', I like this guy and kudos to him for speaking up.

Wow!

Re Tango in particular, what a message to send to all those other Japanese game studios that might have been considering partnerships,
"Come closer, come to MS, come closer so I can shut you down."
Shinji Mikami saw it coming alright, I hope all those now-ex Tango guys get invited by him to join his studio and carry on the good work (backed by Sony for the win).

"We wish Mikami-san well in the future and are excited by what lies ahead for the talented developers at Tango.

@Smash41

Exactly what I was thinking, Sony tried the stick, now to try the carrot...

I'll give her 1!!!

@BusyOlf

Got to add, 'Indiana Jones and the Great Circle' has to be the most dull, uninspiring and insipid title they could have thought of.

What's next 'Indiana Jones and the Queue at the Pharmacy'?

Back on topic, I guess this means Sony will have first dibs on the Star Trek licence too.
