Holmes & Watson are at the garden centre.

Watson - "I say Holmes, what's that plant with what looks like citrus fruit hanging from it?"

Holmes - "A Lemon Tree, my dear Watson."

@Victor_Meldrew

I see what you did there, very good!

Just in time for the remake of Code Veronica.

Well Lilly, I thought you did fine.

Shame you experienced the idiocy of the internet but at least take solace that next week it'll be someone else on the receiving end of troll bile for no proper reason.

I wonder if it'll have much fighting in it...

Yeah I too envisioned a Switch OLED but with Dualsense controller halves either side of the screen too.

For me the screen would have to be at least as big as that though, I can't be bothered played PS5 games on tiddly phone screens.

I remember reading that NMS original codename was Project Skyscraper.

I can see why, it's just getting bigger and bigger, coming up to 5 years since initial release now (in August) and no sign that support will be ending.

FIFA > COD

Be interesting to see if those numbers are similar next year after EA have lost the license.

Looks like MS has an average larger monthly share then Sony too!
Well that's a surprise after all their public whinging.

Big shout for Wo Long, I love it!!

However Resi 4 is just a bit special really.

10's all around!

Well that was totally awesome!

Tramp stamp... Stay classy Leon!

Best version of Tetris IMHO.

Looks suitably hardcore.

Loved Strider back in the day (top MegaDrive conversion too) and big fan of the modern remake so am definitely picking this up.

God how boring.

Remember when it was hard to get PS5's? Now it's a reduced bundle with a top game, what times we live in!

PS is the Andrex Supreme Quilts toilet paper of consoles and Xbox is the Izal medicated loo roll (aka tracing paper loo roll).

I'll be sticking with my almost complete PS4 / Pinball FX3 collection I think.
No way am I going to rebuy that lot again when they look and play just fine on my PS5.

Oh Liam,
Don't worry, be happy!

Nice game...

but both GoW2 & Elden Ring are much, much better (as we all know).

Tried the timed demo of this, got through the tutorial and then realised I didn't have a clue what to do next!

Looked like a good game, don't know if I was having a bad day but was just a bit lost in it. Might give it another go though.

This or Mount & Blade 2 for current medieval strategy fix?

PS4 Pro only came out due to HDR etc becoming a thing.

Each previous Playstation never had a 'Pro' only various 'slims' and we've already heard about the PS5 slimmer detachable drive version that's incoming.

Excellent!!!

I was wowed by yesterdays Jun Kazama video but I think Xiao looks fantastic fun too!

Actually I think I'm really impressed by the clothes physics and textures, they look amazing.

In the UK, companies 'lobbying' politicians to speak up for them (usually due to an incentive) is considered 'dodgy' and frowned upon in the press.

"The Senator who raised this and 6 of the 10 Reps are from Microsoft's home state
And MS' government affairs people have discussed this issue with members of Congress."

Like I said, dodgy!

Its all about the cheddar though, there's still ALOT of PS4 owners out there who have yet to upgrade.

I do think it's time to let it go and retire to the farm.

I thought it was called Slice of Pie!

"Just look at him barely breaking a sweat in Time’s Square: his hair doesn’t move a millimetre."

So he's the one who stole Paul Phoenix's hair gel!

Spider-man 2 will be an (optional) 2 player open world game.

You and a friend will be able to play as Miles & Peter and swing around NYC at the same time.
Story missions can be done together with boss fights using a bot for single players (or just on your own if decided).

That will be the 'new thing'.

That's an Atari 400 on the right of 2600 on the desk, we had one of them!!!

My dad brought one home when I was about 5 years old with a copy of Star Raiders and my gaming hobby began. Who'd have thought 40 odd years later be revisiting it via virtual reality.

Makes you wonder what gaming will be like in another 40 years time.

Well it looks absolutely fantastic!!

Watched Aliens again for the first time in a good 15 years or so last month. Still an amazing blast of a movie.

This'll be the sixth time I'll have bought RE4...

Can't wait till next Friday!

Who are these people?

Would like to also give kudos to @Vacuumator, well said.

*tips hat

You had me at Ridge Racer Type 4...

I don't think so, we're only starting to see PS5 only games etc coming now which aren't also developed for PS4.
So it needs more time to really sing. Look at GoQ Ragnarok, HFW, GT7, all on ps4 too but all are really good on PS5.

I'm really interested to see what Guerilla Games do with the HFW DLC as it's PS5 only.

So far I would only point out Returnal as the best PS5 only game so far, Demon's Souls and Ratchet & Clank also good but held back by older gen design.

Has anyone actually read the 'report' at insider gaming?

There's one line.
"This is “just the beginning of new hardware coming to PlayStation users this generation”, said one source when talking about the detachable disc drive console."

That's it!!
And the rest about a late 2024 PS5 pro release etc is pure speculation.

Who is that source? The cat? New hardware? Like PSVR2, or Dualsense Edge?
Only Insider Gaming had mentioned a PS5 Pro until everyone else has picked up on their imaginary tale.

What a joke and yet now the internet is aflame again with rumour. It would be amusing if it wasn't so plainly sad.

Surely leave TLOS3 for the PS6, they can already get at least 2 more TV series from part 2, which is probably 4 or more years.
Like to see a new IP myself.

He's run out of hair gel.

What's this..? A new toy!

Let's just say that if the deal goes through then PS5 will no longer be the lead development platform.

The existence of a PSVR2 version of REZ simply shows how far ahead of its time it really was.

nice pumpkins!!

"It doesn't pull any punches, and many will likely bounce off it after only a few hours."

That's the Gamepass crowd in general, no direct financial investment so will probably dabble and get put off by difficulty.
However if you've actually paid real money full price day one (or even pre-ordered), much more likely to keep at it.

So she's a short-neck then?

Couldn't get past the first proper boss!! What a git, just when I finally beat he only went and transformed into a second state, gah!!!!

Apart from that I quite enjoyed it!

Well Dead Space 2 would be marvelous, a real classic.
Dead Space 3, well perhaps it could be redone a bit to make it better but it wasn't really a worthy sequel for me anyway.

Perhaps a whole new canon sequel instead?

Start new game+ on Dead Space and a spin on the Wu Long demo methinks.

Immortals and ghost wire for me, very nice!!

Well it's just got to be the long awaited Bloodborne 60fps patch of course!!

Quelle suprise.

I think the most cut and paste comment on any Xbox site is....
"I'll wait till it's on Gamepass."

Awesome!! My wife's Taiwanese so I've been lucky enough to go over there many times and I'd recommend it to everyone to get over there as it's a wonderful friendly country.
I've also been to the shops you describe there in the City Mall and Ximen and they are all fascinating and extraordinary.
I'd love to hear more of your take over there Sammy. How you finding the food? Supposedly the best in Asia so go to Din Tai Fung for the dumplings, try the Beef noodle soup and also Taiwan Fried chicken. Guangdong has a great street food market area, I'm sure you're guide knows the best places.
Have a great time over there!
