What I am prepared to pay and what I would expect to pay are two different things. I'd be prepared to pay £600 but I'd not be to pleased about it. I'm expecting to pay £500 (in a bundle with maybe 1/2 games) .
Enjoying the game so far! Not very far into it yet though. One gripe I do have is that it takes you out of the experience a little hearing Nolan North & Troy Baker on screen together! I feel like I should be seeing Nathan & Sam Drake but I'm not -.-
This is kind of a non story isnt it? Sony haven't gone to all this trouble to market and reveal certain aspects just to delay indefinitely, which is what it would be, as there's no way to know when things around the world will return to "normal" .
@playstation_king I disagree actually, I think it will improve the experience a fair bit. Its these small touches that separate 'good' from 'great in terms of how games make you feel.
@Mike1288 Even if Sony do that I don't think the death of the console is going to be coming anytime soon. There's always going to be people who would play console over PC. Also, there will come a time when PC and consoles are so similar in what they capable of that having both would be obsolete for gaming purposes.
Sony are already way ahead of Microsoft in terms of console exclusives and their quality so they may as well double down and keep them coming!!! BIGGER & BETTER!!
As long as there is more than enough units to meet demand within the first couple of weeks from release date that's the main thing. Makes no difference when its released if there isn't enough to go around!
@themightyant True and understandably a price point of £600+ would prevent a certain amount of people from buying the console at launch and even up to a year or so afterwards. But as has been shown before, console sales isn't necessarily where the money is made for Sony and therefore they may well go for a lower price point to entice people in and take their money in other ways.
@djape Depends what people would view as expensive really. For example, personally I don't think paying £600 for something I am going to use near enough everyday for the next 6/7 years and that will provide a huge amount of enjoyment and entertainment is expensive. But ofcourse other people will think anything over £500 is overpriced.
The general vibe is good from this trailer however I agree with most others on here that Gollum just doesn't look right! Perhaps we've just got used to seeing how he is portrayed in the films and can't accept any other iteration
People getting very worked up about this it seems. It looks a decent game, albeit nothing original! If you don't like it, dont buy it. Go play your PS2 remasters and imagine your 16 again. Times change and so do games, Live service is the "in" thing right now, but aslong as people keep buying those kind of games they'll keep making them.
Goes to show how it makes no difference whether a game is a console exclusive! If its good enough, it will sell bucket loads!! I think Sony will prove that once again with the PS5 and all of its (eventual) exclusives.
Got it this morning! Only a few hours in but I'm loving it, can't wait to see how this story unfolds Enjoying the experience without an onscreen map as well!!
I'm liking the look of it! Seems less repetitive than Odyssey, but actually playing it may be a different matter.
I love the TV series Vikings and all that lore around the Viking invasion. Also spotted the County and City I live in appear in the game which makes me even more excited to play it.
I'll wait for PS5 before getting AC or Cyberpunk so no issue with them releasing so close together! Hopefully get one of them bundled with the console.
Some suprisingly good deals there!! Ill wait for Ghost Of Tsushima before I buy anything else, just started replaying TLOU2 which can keep me busy till next week.
@snap_drama Definitely not for the rest of the game but I want to give each mode a chance! Will more than likely end up swapping between them as and when the mood takes me
I'll start off with the original mode and perhaps turn on Kurosawa after 4/5 hours in to see what I prefer! The original mode looks to amazing not to give it a chance!! Time will tell
Physical version definitely. Not quite at the point where I want to go completely digital with my gaming! Still enjoy picking up a physical copy of a new game on release day Also, chances are I will watch a few Blu Rays on it now and again.
These 2 games will be the last new ones I imagine I'll be playing before the PS5! What a great end to the generation....ofcourse I will play them again on the PS5 as well.
Had it pre ordered for delivery and it arrived at 9am!! DPD are in the good books now! About 4 hours in and i am not disappointed, its fantastic! Loving the little easter eggs as well.

Re: Poll: Did You Buy Marvel's Avengers?
I'll give it a couple of weeks! See how it goes down with the general public and then decide.
Re: Cloudpunk Is the Futuristic Delivery Sim of Your Dreams
Interesting.....but ultimately I have other more interesting stuff to be playing.
Re: PS5 Doesn't Have an Optical Audio Port
This is terrible news! That's how my surround sound system is set up. Cue many hours of trying to get that all to work again once the PS5 arrives -.-
Re: Gods & Monsters Has Been Renamed Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Will Be at Ubisoft's Next Livestream
The original name wasn't great (unoriginal) but this name is terrible!! Sounds like a JRPG!
Re: PS5 Won't Play PS3, PS2, or PS1 Games
Wasn't expecting it and didn't want it either. I know plenty of people enjoy the older games and so did I when they came out 20 years ago!!

Re: Poll: Are You Happy With You PS Plus Games for September 2020?
Rubbish selection! I'll give Street Fighter a go but can't see me playing it after that

Re: Blood Bowl 3 Lines Up on PS5, PS4 Early Next Year
I've never played any of the Blood Bowl games or given any thought to it, however, might give this one a shot once I've seen some gameplay.

Re: PS Plus September 2020 PS4 Games Announced
Personally, this is one of the worst months yet! Not interested in either of those. Can't please everyone though

Re: Talking Point: What Free September 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
No more FPS please! I'd like a Lego game actually, perhaps Marvel based seeing as the new Avengers game is coming out soon

Re: Cyberpunk 2077 Details the Lifepaths You Can Choose for Your Character
I'll go for Nomad! Starting out in the desert area and then moving into the city seems like the most appealing.
Re: Fall Guys - Battle Royale Mayhem At Its Very Best
Anyone else finding the servers on this are horrendous? Game itself its fantastic but servers keep booting me out!
Re: PlayStation Shares Some Gobsmacking Ghost of Tsushima Player Stats
@Arugula 50% of them I would say, some do run off but alot of them hang around and wait for you to pet them before running off.
Re: PlayStation Shares Some Gobsmacking Ghost of Tsushima Player Stats
Can't believe more people haven't petted the foxes! Shame on you.

Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Finally Gets Gameplay Overview, 30 Minute In-Depth Demo
I'm liking the look of it! Seems less repetitive than Odyssey, but actually playing it may be a different matter.
I love the TV series Vikings and all that lore around the Viking invasion. Also spotted the County and City I live in appear in the game which makes me even more excited to play it.
Re: What Time Is Ubisoft Forward?
Hope we get to see a good amount (of gameplay) of Gods & Monsters!! It looks something a bit different from Ubisofts usual and right up my street.
Re: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Release Date Leaked Through Instagram
I'll wait for PS5 before getting AC or Cyberpunk so no issue with them releasing so close together! Hopefully get one of them bundled with the console.
Re: Far Cry 6 Leaks for PS5 and PS4, Launches 18th February 2021
