I wouldn't trust this lot as far as can kick em. Don't fall for the shiny dangling keys

I'm grab one when they're on clearance in a year or so from now, for around $20-30.

Go to pure Xbox & read the comments to this news. Its the polar opposite, they all seem happy, & not once do the comments rip into Playstation or its users. It's like going from a room full of sugared up children (here), to adults actually discussing games. It's lovely.

Looks pretty sweet, reminds me of Courier Crisis on the old PS1. Though this looks like it won't be anywhere near as terrible!

I'm definitely picking this up for PS5 day one, it sounds awesome!

Just bought this off the PS Store, keen to jump in this weekend!

@Exerion76 To be fair, there really isn't any reason why wouldn't run perfectly fine on a PS4.

There's no greater camouflage than neon pink hair, she'll be a tough one to spot in battle🤔
They might as well add Ronald McDonald, Spongebob, Fonzi etc while they're at it. As AgentMantis said, the shark has been cleared😅

I started watching it tonight, currently on episode 3. I'm really enjoying it so far, its chessy, violent, & quite fun. Switch your brain off & enjoy the ride!

I have the other Yakuza/Like A Dragon titles digitally, & will be playing this day 1.

Congratulations to everyone who tirelessly ranted about this, you've earned a shortbread & pat on the back from yourself to yourself🥳
And a big shout out to those writing a wall of text, air high fives all around!

Until you pin me George, Baldur's Day is not over.
Let's rumble!!

@Anthony_Daniels Sony would be better off spending those funds on scratching posts for Jim Ryan's cats.

Still on Jedi Survivor. I think I'm near the end though, Darth Vader just fought Gandhi. Good stuff.

Gundamn!😅😅 Ah that's too perfect! 😆🤣

Its rough this one, even after the patch. I've owned the game for 9 days & had 9 crashes, 5 of which when just trying to boot the game. The broken AI, audio sync issues, and just now encountered a bug where my button inputs stopped working. The ball droid things are spinning around in circles like crazy (which is pretty funny actually). I defeated the so called legendary Rancor by standing on a slightly higher ledge, it just stood there & had no idea what to do, allowing me to wail on it until defeated. Yeah, its rough lol

I'm just glad with the name change, the box art actually has someone playing football on the damn cover lol
EA: home of FC, UFC. They should combine the two!

Maybe some Jedi Survivor. Though yesterday it crashed on me 5 times, which has kinda put me off it a bit. Fun game when it works lol
I picked up Soul Hackers 2 & the latest Star Ocean game cheap today, so maybe either of those if the force isn't strong enough to run Jedi without crashing.
Have a nice weekend you lovely people!

@HonestHick You seem like a really nice person, I appreciate your kindness.
But I have to ask, why did we see so many fresh ideas from PS up until this gen? Games were expensive to create last gen too (TLOU 2 as an example), but we still got Ghost Of Tsushima, Horizon, The Last Guardian, etc (2 of 3 which were highly successful). The fresh experiences we came to PS for in the first place.
But honestly, it's irrelevant. We should not give a crap about the costs of game development, that's a Sony problem. They're the ones who should be creating such experiences which make us what to part with our money in the first place.

@HonestHick I don't agree with that. Sure, they are expensive to make, but Sony's first party titles generally sell very very well, into the high millions, and are highly profitable. These titles are why Playstation has the strong reputation they have, lessen that & eventually you strip its entire identity. (Which to be fair, they are doing a good job of themselves anyway).

I'm hoping Resident Evil 4 & any of the Project Zero games go on sale.

Naughty Dog haven't released anything new for the PS5, yet we're here discussing their third remake/remaster for the console. This gen really is something else. Like movies today, it seems we've abandoned all original ideas & are stuck in an endless loop of remakes, reboots, sequels, & prequels.

I played Gex 3 fairly recently, oh boy is it rough. I'd temper my excitement, and bring a vomit bag just in case!

Way late to the party guys. I don't expect any of these 3rd party superhero games to do any good. Tbh I'm not even expecting Spiderman 2 to bring the house down either

@ApostateMage I agree about the characters, though I did like Clive's uncle, he was a hoot.
You're right about it not feeling like a grand adventure, jumping from spot to spot kinda felt like an old PSP game, like Peace Walker or old Monster Hunter. It definitely takes away that feeling of a great journey.

@Balosi Thank you! Apologies for my ignorance, booking in an appointment at Specsavers right now!

Was this reported by Square-Enix? Not doubting you guys, just seems odd you'd leave out the source of this report. You might as well be saying some bloke at the pub told me haha

This can't be real, it's just too stupid. Remaking a PS4 launch title? Is this where we are?!! Nah it must be a troll, has to be....

A reasonable amount of sales for an average game imo
Not a fan of the story or characters though, a snoozefest headlined by a cast of wood planks.

I bought it digitally myself. Mostly enjoying it, kinda like Guy Ritchie's Final Fantasy. Though it hasn't grabbed me completely & I can't explain why that is. Ah well, I'm sure its more a me thing. Very nice music too.

I will be playing it by the end of today hopefully. I have it downloaded & ready to go, just have to finish off the last few stages of Hi-Fi Rush.

But what did the police say?!

@TheArtfulDodger I think its very important that you go outside & get some fresh air

Collector's editions are rubbish these days. No disc, a statue you could get from any comic/pop culture store, & just awful, bland box art.
Just buy the game, don't waste your money on this crap.

Star Wars with a high Ubisoft flavour? ***** no

Persona 5 Tetris

Good. The praise for this company has always been completely overblown, they just knew how to make the puppets dance.
Sony would be better off funding a mansion for Jim Ryan's cats than blowing it on these chumps.

Hey, this is just what I wanted at the PS showcase, but even better!
Am I now an insider? Pay me!!

If I remember correctly, last year The Last Of Us Part 1 was announced at a Keighleyfest not long after Sony held a State Of Play. So there might actually be some truth to this...

A show where three quarters of the announcements aren't remakes or remasters of games that came out last week is a win in my book!
Was hoping to see the next Like A Dragon game make an appearance, maybe at Keighleyfest or the Xbox show....

They're probably reworking it into another Horizon themed game.
I wanna see Twisted Metal!

It's incredible to think that these guys will have three PS5 games out before other PS studios even have one!
At this rate they have Wolverine out before TLOU Factions

That reveal trailer.....Snake looked as if he was concentrating hard, like he was peeing in the water & was upset the cameraman busted him

Yeah we'll see...
As good as FF16 looks graphically (apart from the full screen vomit of particle effects whenever in combat!) it still looks like a typical action RPG, albeit with tacky mini games added. Then again it's quite easy to fool gamers with shiny flash haha
Time will tell & I do hope I'm wrong😁

How about some new games? I know, it's crazy to speak such sacrilege lol
As far as Konami goes, a new 2D pixel Castlevania would be awesome. The same exact graphic style as SOTN, but a new entry. Man that would be fantastic.
Knowing my luck, it'll be an awful looking SOTN remake with flash style graphics, or that hideous 2.5D vomit style used in Bloodstained haha
Looking forward to it!

@get2sammyb I've always found it funny how every COD starts off fairly grounded at release, but by the end of it's cycle you've got miltary soldiers battling Bruce Willis, Robocop & The Wiggles

Won't be sneaking anywhere near my console.

Hey now, I remember quite a few people here getting very excited when they added a bunch of soccer ***** into COD a while back. Don't be acting all surprised suddenly😅😁

Looks a bit naff, I won't be watching it.
Its a bummer that we've seen more trailers for TV shows & movies based on Playstation games, than actual Playstation games of late.
