@fR_eeBritney what's got you spooked? CIA got you pushin' too many pencils?

Jeff Minter is a national treasure. Still making games like a home coder from the good old Sinclair Spectrum days. The fact he's still working in the industry is fantastic because god knows it's changed beyond all recognition and not all for the better.

@hypnotoad its not changed so it must be an editorial decision to spell words in 'American' in the headlines. Weird. Could be worse i suppose. They could spell it in Crystal Palace Sarf Landan dialect. We're posher over here in Brentford 😆

@hypnotoad Awesome!! 😆

@hypnotoad yep. Its funny because you will never, ever find an American who spells words with the English spelling, or pronounce words with the English pronunciation, like schedule for example (skedule in US, shedule in UK), but English folk frequently use do exactly that, even though they didn't learn that at school. Shows how easily influenced we are by their culture🤷‍♂️😄

Still, I only mentioned it because it sticks out like a sore thumb in the articles, I'm not complaining.

Just thought I'd point out that you are consistently using American and then English spellings of the same word in your last couple of articles. In this one it's colour. In the guide it's armour. I hope that's helpful, I'll delete this comment once you sort it.

Jumping the gun without checking the facts. Ubisoft has not settled on renaming the game 'Parasite', its a working title.

@LemonHaze are you crying? get mummy to kiss it better 😘

@Milktastrophe

'boo hoo'?

OK if you want to talk to me rudely like a keyboard warrior I will be blunt. Are you joking? You think putting game mechanics behind a patent is good for the industry? Imagine if they all did that! Did you think when Nintendo patented the D-Pad that was good for the industry? Or when Sega patented directional arrows in games? Or why we haven't seen dual-reality action on one screen before like found in the recent Xbox game The Medium? That's because MS patented the effect. Ever wondered why when we had long load screens there was nothing to distract us whilst waiting? Thats because Namco patented mini-games during loading. Thanks Namco. Did you know Nintendo wanted to patent jumping in games?!! Imagine that! Thankfully most of these patents have expired.

You clearly don't understand how things work. The WB patent is so broad in its wording that it would be difficult for WB to defend it but the damage is done. Smaller publishers and developers won't have the financial muscle to go up against WB should WB decide that any part of the third party game mechanic resemble the Nemesis System. Its stifles innovation, not encourage it like you say it should.

Many developers in the games industry have gone on record with their disappointment at what WB has done. I agree with them.

Going to use the Nemesis System you a-holes?

@solocapers true. I've recently scalped all the new model Rampant Rabbits and lonely housewives are filling the forums with complaints about it 😆😆

@dav2612 ohhh hahaha fair enough. You're splitting hairs but that's ok. 👍

@Stocksy Sony's launch of PS5 was better than most other generations. Astro was given free as was Bugsnax, and there was Spider-Man, Demon Souls and Sackboy. Plus The Pathway and Godfall. All console exclusives. Pretty good in my book. I'd rather that than nothing at all 😊

Nintendo though...brilliant. They do things their way and are great.

By the way...Super Mario 3D World is down to 34.99 at Currys

@Stocksy it certainly is, I agree. Not one I personally like, I much prefer Sony's and Nintendo's traditional idea of console generations.

@Shigurui oh yeah, Forza is great on PC but I think iRacing is better. Enjoy mate.

@dav2612 i didn't know that. Which xbox game in the top 10 is exclusive to xbox?

I wonder what old games new Series X owners are playing. Exciting times 😁

8/10, happy with that. Guessed a couple, educated guesses of course 😁

Bit of fun. That's a lot of adverts to get through for that though 😁👍 enjoyed it.

First of all, an article based on 'hearsay'? Really? That should be mentioned on the feedback article. We don't need rumour-mongering. Is this a news site or what? Your headline, 'speculation intensifies'...that because sites keep publishing articles based on unsubstantiated rumours.

Its like a self-fulfilling prophesy. Websites are practically creating the news themselves at this point. So much so the Techland guy has to come out and make a statement! Again 🙄 You don't need the clicks that badly PS, you've got a great site here with, from my limited experience, what looks like an excellent community. Give them quality over quantity. Set yourself apart from the rest by not homogenising your output with all the third rate dross out there, like Kotaku or DualShockers.

Don't take offense at what I'm saying, I say it constructively as someone outside looking in.

Ok time to vent....Microsoft are absolute w***kers. Their whole mantra is to appropriate rather than create and innovate. Right from the start when they arrogantly tried to buy Nintendo to now with all the bids for well-established studios. I hope MS and the future of GP fails hard. MS create nothing. A handful of repeating first person exclusives over the last couple of console generations is pathetic. And now even their console design is just more of the same but a bit better. Cynical bunch of t**sers.

@hypnotoad hahaha sure have. She beat me in an arm wrestle 😁😁 those Palace girls are tough.

@hypnotoad no point. They're all covered head to toe in tats 😊

Fewer articles that are only two paragraphs long with minimal information.

More journalism that doesn't rely on whats been said by people moaning on Twitter or reddit as if their opinion is news.

Articles that you actually care about on topics you personally are interested in. Inspire us 😁

More articles highlighting the indie scene and niche gaming in general.

Articles with headlines that are written in standard English. Theres no need to capitalise every word of a sentence. Eurogamer is the gold standard and they haven't resorted to looking like taboola advertising.

Writers being less sensitive to opinions about their articles, more tolerance for views they don't agree with.

A system where replies to comments are not separated from the original comment so all the correspondence is available at a glance.

Some simple competitions to win a PushSquare mug 😁

So what. Don't buy it at launch then. Wait until its cheaper. I've never paid full price for a game at launch un my life. There's always somewhere selling it for less.

Ummm yes...everyone could do more.

Perfect casting. Claptrap is a loud, unfunny, buffoon. I couldn't think of anyone better to play him, except maybe Kevin Hart.

Those poor XbSX owners forced to buy one because of PS5 shortages. How has this been allowed to happen?! Those poor people. It's like asking to meet a Baldwin and finding out you'll have to settle for Stephen instead of Alec.

/due to recent staff sense of humour failures i must declare this is a joke.

@starbuck2212 bad example. Shaft is a symbol of black empowerment in a society that is prejudiced against his race. You can't ever possible cast a white man to play that role. There's no reason Joel can't be black apart from he wasn't written that way so I could upset fans who would see it as being woke. If Idris Alba ended up being Joel, or James Bond for that matter I'd be fine with that. I think the Marheshala looks too old for the part and doesn't make sense.

@Playstation well thats inevitable. The story naturally has to progress beyond the first game.

The point is that this show isn't set during a time period that we have no knowledge of or hasn't been covered in the games.

@Playstation the show is based on the first game.

@Perryg92 I live in London and worked in Soho. People are generally friendly there, its like a little village.

@Perryg92 why wouldn't you let him borrow your phone?

@Wormold nearly but not quite. Right at the start the TV executives got together to discuss making a brand new show specifically to annoy a tiny minority of people communicating on internet threads enough for those people to post a disparaging, sweeping generalisation online over the relevancy of the project. They chose TLoU as the show's premise because they knew there'd definitely be that kind of person within the demographic of people who like the game enough to say something like that 😆

Why aren't updates on articles reflected in the headline so people don't have to click on the article to find out the situation is over?

Oh wait I think I've answered my own question 😊

I can't believe they overlooked Warwick Davis for the role. The casting is clearly prejudiced.

It will have to be sold at a budget price because its not worth RRP

Activity Cards are a great idea. Its this kind of innovation that sets Sony and Nintendo apart from MS.

Get effed Take Two. I'm not buying yet another version of this game you can't be bothered to make any SP content for just so you can make more money with your casino rubbish. That goes for your older stuff. Put some money and effort into NEW CONTENT single player GTAV stuff like so many people are asking, that isn't further monetised with MTs. Redeveloping old games instead is a joke.

What the heck is a 'morning-eyed' ? 😄 That sounds like it requires medical attention. The only thing that happens to me in the morning is that I have to wait a good 10 minutes before I'm able to have a pee 😆

@Flaming_Kaiser phase 👍

@TowaHerschel7

this is a list of games out this week.

Edit: oh now I get you. The link. Yeah, its wrong. I don't think they're that bothered.

@roe not as much as you'd think. He fills the sub's bench with Bronze players to get his overall team score up, and face easier opponents online.

@Ajfennell77 net spending shows that Liverpool have spent far less than the two Manchester clubs. Liverpool have sold well as well as spent well.

@Bagwag82 give it a miss. It's like having a second job.

He's also good at pinball thanks to FIFA.

@TechaNinja big?

Larger is not necessarily better. Ubisoft games are normally huge but its a lot of busy-work for the sake of grinding up the levels. I like RE7's length. It was concise and well judged, never outstaying its welcome.

I'm surprised there's no tears being shed on the internet because jump-shooting has been nerfed. And about time.

@Arugula I don't know why it is but I prefer baseball. But yeah, its still pretty dull 😊 what's with all the spitting?! It's disgusting and so nasty that I can't watch the game if its on TV.

@Ben7982 two button presses to mute group chat, thats it. Play a round of COD and you have to do more than that to mute the lobby each time but nobody moans.
