I thought this was coming anyway for all Sony PC games, starting with Ghost of Tsushima, to get trophies, matchmaking etc.?

@Ralizah
I would imagine you'd play the great leader as he uses god-like powers to kill lots of South Koreans, Americans and Japanese people before nuking the rest of the world.
All while on horseback.

@DennisReynolds
Its like when Sonic appeared on Nintendo consoles!!!

What has been done before will be done again.

Quite like to play through Gears 1 again imho.

Well that's a lot of Super Credits!!

I think it sold a boatload because it's quite different to the rote MP shooters (sick of Battle Royale etc.) and its just plain fun.

Helldivers 2 is more my multiplayer bag

Gears 1-3 would be nice as have fond memories on the 360 especially of the first one.

Looking forward to the new costumes too, in particular
1. Sexy Nurse
2. Sexy Air Hostess
3. Sexy Traffic Warden
4. Full Burqa

Now everyone can try it for 5 minutes, sigh and go back to Stellar Blade etc instead.

Excellent game, is now fullfilling my (lite) souls itch post elden ring burnout.
Really love the music too, I think Sony owe Upshift a contract as this is now a massive hit and shows their ability as a great dev studio.
First PS5 game, really??!! Great work!!!

Awesome game, a great PS5 showcase.

Could it be the return of Returnal?

Returnalal?

Sony will still insist of having Eve's ankles covered though, certainly nothing above the knee otherwise the sky will fall in!!!!

God, don't you just hate 'beige people pleasers'...

Anyway, in the demo I went for the 'easier parry' skill and it made the boss much more fun (a little easier but still not a cakewalk), so I'm going down that skill path.

Btw, I enjoyed climbing the ladders too ;op

"The update builds upon 30 previous updates and patches delivered after release, which added new questlines, armour sets, and quality-of-life improvements."

Maybe time for a little re-review then? I'm feeling tempted as it's on sale on PSN currently.

We're just not allowed to enjoy boobies anymore.

Hoping NG+ will let us play through as Tachy, I thought she was awesome in the demo.

PSVR2 port of RE7 would be nice.

Android
SUYU
Snapdragon Gen 3
BOTW, TOTK, SMBW

I've said too much...

PS6 games to be £100 by 2030 for the base version!

Found the Parry here quite nice to perform, the only other Soulslikes that I've played where I almost mastered it where Wo Long and Bloodborne.
Every other one I usually roll around like a demented drunk (which is still an option in Stellar Blade of course).
Played demo and pre-ordered, I thought it was a great game and a fine distillation of the Souls genre.

And that's what a video game shop looks like in a country where shoplifting is almost non-existent as it is dealt with VERY severely.

Makes GAME in Surrey Quays look even poorer, and that's one of the better ones.

60fps just feels so much better.

For me the camera movement is just too jerky at 30fps in every game.

Been really enjoying Helldivers and am really looking forward to Stellar Blade too.

Love that video someone made after first time dropping in.

Excellent game, was a bit stand offish when it was released as I haven't bothered with an online MP game for ages.

But the more I read about the world that was being created and of course the positive reviews for the gameplay I thought I'd drop in and don't regret it at all.

Most fun I've had in a shooter for a long time.

"Stellar Blade Director Recommends Players Wear Clothes, Where Possible".

This is also good advice for real life.

@Sil_Am
And I'd really recommend everyone to have a go at 'Outrun 2006 Coast to Coast' too, it's awesome!!!
(Of course you own the original game).

Well as long as we don't get into a performance split that has plagued all Xbox developers being hamstrung by the Series S/X dual platform.

Rather just if Sony went all in on PS6 in a couple of years.

Does kind of feel this is another £60 beta at the moment.

I'm going to wait awhile for everything to settle in a bit and maybe a price reduction.

I'm sensing a lack of aliens, zombies or shotguns here...

You had me at
"You play as Eve, a top-heavy tough girl in a skin-tight latex outfit."

Well if my PS5 breaks then I'd probably replace it with a pro version, but so far I'm not seeing a need to improve on the base PS5 really.
PS4 pro came out to capitalise on the 4K telly crowd really, and it was a shrewd move, but an iterative update now does not seem to have the same market.
I'll wait for the inevitable PS6 methinks.

Dring quoted other high-level executives who noted a lot of work goes into creating multiple versions of Xbox games, so they scale across both the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S hardware profiles. He explained: “You’ve got third-party publishers going, ‘We’re putting in a lot of effort trying to create a Series S version and an X version of a game when, to be honest with you, for us the market is PC and PS5.’”

MS really hamstrung themselves this gen with the split SKU, they should have just released the Series X and undercut Sony by £100 with it.

Xbox will become a software platform the same way as SEGA did and we will see Gears, Halo etc on Playstation in the same way we eventually saw Sonic appearing on Nintendo platforms.

@Specky
Doesn't look like you'll have long to wait now, better double time DD2!

Put me off it now.
Was wavering re the frame rate and thinking perhaps a performance mode will be patched in.
But now the microtransactions have been applied I'll think I'll wait until I get a PS6 and play it on BC then maybe.

Stella Blade has my full attention now.

Man, I spent faaaaaaaaar too much money on Rock Band DLC on the 360 and then left it all behind when I jumped to PS4.

Fond memories but if I bought this then I'd end up just spending even more on probably the same DLC to play on Rock Band Rivals.
Lottery win required.

Couldn't get one but have jumped on the handheld bandwagon with the Backbone One on my Pixel phone.

And boy am I happy!
As well as the (PushSquare) recommend app PSPlay allowing me to remote play on my PS5 using 5G aswell as Wifi, I've discovered that Dolphin runs rather well and has allowed me to play all my old Gamecube games on my phone again.
The door to emulation heaven have opened to me, I always dismissed Smartphone games due to a hatred of touchscreen controls, but now my eyes have been opened.

@carlos82
Apparently inverted controls are being patched in on the new update out pronto, so at least that's something.

What a terrible launch this is.

I think the first one wowed me more, but Ragnarok is a really good game.

Not as good as Bloodborne mind.

And then Helldivers 2 came out and grabbed all the limelight.

Poor old PSVR2, it really is a great bit of kit and does a fantastic job.

I think it's a good idea to make it PC compatible, but they need to drop it to £300 to get people buying IMHO.
Plus bundle it with a couple of games, maybe Pistol Whip and Resi 4.

It seems Bloodborne (and The Last Guardian but that was already 60fps before being patched out) is the only PS4 exclusive from Sony now that hasn't had a 60fps patch or remake.
Even Gravity Rush 2 has a PS5 port in the works, probably to coincide with the movie coming.

Imagine though if SONY threw their weight behind a Bloodborne TV series / movie (and did it right like TLOU) that has the potential to be incredible.

@Nathan
Having a bit of a nose at this and apparently a 60fps patch has since been released since launch.
Much better post patch?

@Yaycandy
I know I'm in a minority but I can't help it.
It's like flying a plane, you push forward to go down, pull back to go up. I kind of imagine the stick is coming out of the back of my characters head, especially in first person games.
However, surely it's such an easy thing to implement in a game, it really should be standard.

@LionVega
"There is no option to invert vertical aim on either game."
Well then I'm glad I didn't pre-order, that's deal breaker for me too.

Sorry to hear you got disappointed.

Johnson was hilarious in this.

Day one!

Stay classy, Atlus.

Hopefully a massive lesson learnt my CDPR re the Cyberpunk saga, I'm pretty sure they will be sure not to make the same mistakes again to be fair.

Must say the current game is excellent on PS5 so IMHO they did fulfill the promise eventually.

@TwoDents

absolutely, currently it seems Super Earth is only being attacked from the (galactic) east and west.
This leaves please of invasion space from both the north and the south...

I do find the hypocrisy of society amusing when it comes to things like this.
All the hand wringing over whether it's mysoginistic or art, a game or real life and how it affects the visualisation of women.

Every single teenager has a little window in their pocket to any kind of pornography they can think of, including all sorts of violent, debasing and nasty kinds of sexual content as well as general porn which gives these kids artificial ideas of love and sex.
That's one of the problems in the world right now, and no one seems to acknowledge it (very rarely anyway).

I don't even have a record player but I'd definitely get that!
