HUMPERDOO

Good move having Focus highlight ledges. That’s one of my pet peeves in games with climbing as it really breaks the immersion. The new Tomb Raider games were particularly bad for it with their painted boards in locations supposedly not inhabited for centuries.

I replayed them all in order last year and still enjoyed Lost Legacy more than 4, so I humbly disagree it feels stale if played after ✌🏻

Absolute tosh from my perspective. I don’t have a ps5, can’t stand UFC as a sport, and have very little interest in a piece of glorified DLC for a series I’ve never played. I’d say roll on March but it’ll mostly be the tosh then too.

Disco Elysium or Judgement would be pretty stellar.

If it did happen I’d imagine it would be post PS5 tbh. Given the current split in models it’s odds on that this will be the last gen with a disc drive, so that combined with PS Now and the PS/MS cloud agreement suggests steaming will play a significantly bigger roll next gen. In this light PS compatibility with Gamepass might be a non-issue.

I also think it’s highly unlikely Sony haven’t been aware of MS’s Activision intentions for some time. These things just don’t occur in a vacuum. So they’ll have been planning a response for a while, which is perhaps partly behind the move to get exclusives into PCs, along with leveraging their IPs in other media (Uncharted movie and TLOU show etc).

Wow. Without knocking any of those titles, there’s not a single one on there I have any interest in.

That said, to say that this means I don’t think this is a problem for Sony would be foolish. I’ve read similar comments from others, in particular that they only care about Sony first party exclusives, but what they don’t seem to realise is how the huge drop in revenue this deal poses will affect the budgets available to first party studios. It seems a distinct possibility that as dev costs increase the scope and scale of PS exclusives will likely decline. Maybe the new revenue from PC ports will fill the shortfall, maybe not.

2 be honest it’s difficult 2 say which is my favourite without sounding 2 much like an obsessive with 2 much time on my hands.

If the standard subscription remains as is and at the same cost then it’s not really addressing the complaints folks have had for a good while now. Adding extra tiers with additional charges is simply adding extra tiers with additional charges. So my guess would be that the standard level is either bolstered with something extra or gets a hefty price cut in tandem with current benefits being removed (most likely the monthly games), leaving just online, cloud saves and store discounts.

Yup. RDRO’s world, gameplay and player base are much more my speed than GTA’s, and it’s pretty much the only online I do with friends, so the paltry updates, when they do materialise, are hugely frustrating.

@milktastrophe Can’t say I understand your logic there. It is a great single player game. And removing online would have literally no impact on that. I’m curious to know why you think it would, though 🤔

@The_Moose Yeah, as a huge Dead Space fan 3 was such a disappointment.

@munkholt 😂 Well that’s just, like, so whatever 😉

Grabbed Oxenfree for 79p the other day so been playing through that. I like it, but my goodness if the characters aren’t all complete knobheads 😂

@Weebleman I don’t think it is, is it? I’m also not a rogue-lite/like fan. I was under the impression this is more Zelda-esque exploration, though…

“ corvid colleagues as they work away on their miniature typewriters”

I’m sure I can’t be the only one who read this as covid colleagues 😂

@liamcroft I believe The Expanse is an Amazon show rather than Netflix.

• End of PSSA (Push Square Service Announcement) 🙂 -

OT, this is great news. Wolf Among Us was my favourite TT game by a country mile.

I imagine it’s probably worth changing the headline of these posts to “What PS Plus Leaks Do You Want?” at this point 😉

On topic, something like Judgement or Disco Elysium would get my baubles glinting.

And there was me thinking joystick waggling died out with the Amiga ¯(ツ)/¯

"If you’re coming back to Los Santos for the first time in years, then it is borderline impenetrable"

Yeah this is a major thing for me and why Red Dead Online is my R* multiplayer of choice. It doesn't get even a fraction of the updates and has plenty of its own issues, but I can go back to it after months and still have a good time, not spend it dying ad nauseum.

Sad news. To this day the game over screen of Shadow of the Beast remains one of my most emotive gaming memories, and not just because I found myself there so often (still never completed it without cheat codes!).

Banderas looks more like Sully than Wahlberg does! Lol

Hurrah! Particularly the non-open world part.

And yes, bring ol' Mikey Ironside back, which would be especially brilliant if they do end up recasting Sam's gender.

@rjejr "PlayStation. For the Mohels"

@WolfyTn Sincere apologies 😂

@rjejr Or worse - 'Foreskin harvesting tool'.

@hypnotoad 100%. The 80s arcade rat in me feels the pull like a tractor beam.

@MyThoughts31 Hahaha! Are you crazy? It's terrible! I couldn't take my eyes off it, a soaring firework of confusion and ineptitude. There are simply too many things wrong with it to list here, but at the core of them all is how it constantly strains to explain and justify its logic only to repell and undermine it at every turn. I just have no idea what was going on in that man's head when he made it. Just incredible 😂

Well I watched The Happening the other night, so this sounds like an Oscar contender by comparison 😂

@hypnotoad Fear not, boyo, we’re a strong if dwindling tribe! Keep fighting the good fight and resist the coffee oppression to your last sip-aaaah!

Mortal Shell looks cool, so happy about that. Couldn't be less interested in Godawful, though.

@MFTWrecks The half with his pecker I guess...

Glad to see Dead Space made the cut. An absolute masterpiece of survival horror.

@4kgk2 Yeah agreed. Bloodborne's the only From game I've gotten into and completed, largely because I far prefer that gothic style to the fantasy one of Souls and Elden Ring. Fingers crossed!

I’d say the worst thing about this is the effect it’ll have green-lighting a RDR ‘remaster’, but if this is the kind of job we can expect it’s probably better being left alone!

I've already got the original Catherine but might have to pip for Full Body at that price. Excellent puzzle game.

@Jacko11 Your monthly entitlement comments are more tiresome than the complaints tbh

Little Devil Inside looks brilliant.

We Are OFK made me want to scoop out my eyes and tear off my ears.

Was just mulling over the PS Now offer and I’ve never played the first Mafia, so given the likelihood of this being true I think I’ll give it a whirl.

Highly unlikely, but I’d love to see an update of some sort on The Callisto Protocol.

@johncalmc Genuinely grade-A wordplay, man 😆 If it was the only thing you wrote all year I’d still say you’ve earned yourself a raise!

Haven’t read the review yet, but that is an outstanding sub-header. Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻

@Johnnycide While I’m no fan of Wahlberg, I think what you’re saying’s a bit unfair, as well as inaccurate. The guy you’re talking about wasn’t blinded by him in that fight but by a grenade long before. He’s also publicly forgiven Wahlberg, who was 16 at the time, went to prison for a bit, and resolved to change his ways as a result.

None of that forgives the lack of a moustache, of course. There’s just no escaping that.

My main takeaways:

a) Holland doesn't project Drake's cockiness whatsoever
b) Sully's moustache is being given its own end-of-credits scene
and c) It's hilarious that Zeppelin went from refusing to let their songs be used in films for decades to allowing all manner of terrible remixes all over the place.

Looks like a decent enough Friday night flick, that all said. But HBO's TLOU seem way more promising.

@Milktastrophe Ah, that's a good point. Most likely that, yeah.

I'm probably reading too much into it, but it's interesting the statement reads "Starting in November". Suggests they'll be giving exta vr titles for more than just that one month.

Sounds good. Haven't played a Far Cry since 3 personally, so the overused template Shouldn't effect me too badly. That said, I'll probably wait until I join the PS5 club next year sometime.

At that price I wouldn't touch this without overhauled visuals, improved controls and fully re-licensed music. I very much doubt all that has been implemented, though, so I'm anticipating giving this a miss.

I'll have the Doug theme running around my head all day now...

Which is ace!

@JustPlainLoco I have seen him do all of these things. And while blithely drinking Snapple to boot. Disgraceful.

Been considering picking up Judgement lately so that would be a ace if it popped up. Or the final season of TT's Walking Dead since it's the only one I haven't played but equally don't have enough of a desire to fork out more than a couple of squid for.

Is there a straight forward media app yet? I don't have a 5 yet but playing movies etc off usb storage is a must for me and I remember it being ages before one was added to the 4.
