@KidRyan yeah, it’s a really fast-paced movie with so much going on in every scene and so many layers. I loved the way they used colour to represent the emotions of the characters in certain scenes - just, amazing. Repeat viewings are a must - so we’ve booked to see it again at the weekend in 4DX 😁
I didn’t know about there being a part 3 so they got me with the rug-pull at the end. But I was so blown away by what I’d just seen I didn’t even mind. I don’t think I’ve ever been more hyped for a movie as I am for Beyond the Spider-Verse.
I finally got the platinum for Jedi Survivor and I don’t know how I feel about the game overall. I enjoyed it but it didn’t blow me away or leave a lasting impression.
I’ll definitely be watching for the Avatar game. It looks like it could be Far Cry: Avatar but I’ll be more than happy with that. The Avatar lore is so rich and interesting, I really can’t wait to play this. It’s my most anticipated game.
I platinumed the PS3 Avatar game twice (on two different accounts) so this next gen visit to Pandora is a dream come true for me.
I’ve never watched the show but I added this to my wish list because I loved all the previous Telltale games. I know it’s not the same team working on this one but hopefully it’s as good as the old Telltale games were.
I was a bit disappointed when I heard they were adding Vanellope over some of the more well known characters. But I watched the Wreck it Ralph movies this week (in anticipation of the update) and really enjoyed them. I’m looking forward to the update a lot more now.
We really need more villains though. I hope to see Maleficent, Cruella, Jafar and Hades added at some point. The Nightmare Before Christmas characters in the Halloween update would be amazing too.
My next big game will be AC: Mirage, then Spider-Man 2.
The next five months are looking pretty barren on the gaming front for me. Thank god for live service games - new season of Fortnite on 9th June and then there’s the new update for Dreamlight Valley in ‘early June’.
I thought Miles Morales was better than the first game but my favourite Spider-Man game is still Shattered Dimensions. I’m really looking forward to Spider-Man 2 though.
Still chipping away at Humanity and it’s already one of my favourite games this year. It reminds me of those old PS1 games like Kula World and Intelligent Qube. It’s really fun/addictive trying to clear each stage without cheating (YouTube). Really enjoying it. And it was ‘free’ with PS+ Extra 😁
@KaijuKaiser I’m not anti live service games - I already play Fortnite (and have done for years). I played Fall Guys and Mutliversus for a while but have abandoned them now. People who like live service games aren’t looking for a new live service game if the one they’re heavily invested in is still entertaining. Fortnite already fills that position for me and I can’t see it changing any time soon. Live service games are time consuming so it’s hard to be invested in more than one at a time, especially if you’re juggling your gaming time with SP games too. There just isn’t enough time to play everything. My problem with Sony is that they just aren’t innovative anymore. They make safe games and chase trends.
I’m just not interested in this Factions thing at all. Always felt like a waste of a good studio. At least ND are working on a SP game too but it’s probably TLoU3 sadly 🥱. It’s all very safe at Sony HQ lately.
@STOBO I honestly don’t mind crunch at all. I would work 24/7 on a project I was passionate about as long as I was getting paid for it. I know not everyone can do that but if it’s not expected of everyone, I don’t see a problem with crunch. Having everyone limited to working their contracted hours and not a minute more is annoying tbh.
I didn’t allow myself to get caught up in the hype but even I found it a bit average. No surprises at all really. Spider-Man should have been shown earlier in the showcase with a surprise reveal at the end. We all knew Spider-Man would be shown so it was like, ‘last game, oh it’s Spider-Man’. I am looking forward to Spider-Man but I’ve been looking forward to it for months already, I wanted to see what comes after.
I’ve really missed old Assassins Creed. I was burnt out on the new style AC after Valhalla (the only entry I haven’t bothered with the dlc). I hope Mirage captures the magic of the old AC games.
I miss the old, colourful action-adventure platformers like Sly, Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter. Wish Sony would make something like that again. Astro’s Playroom was such a breath of fresh air (and one of my favourite PS5 games). It captured the magic of those other games but Sony just don’t seem interested in making them.
I thought it was ok. Some games looked interesting but I was mostly just waiting to see more of Spider-Man 2, which looks amazing. But other than that it was just alright 🤷♂️
I wouldn’t take it personally tbh - just look at the comments section for every video on YouTube. They all have stupid comments like the ones she received.
I hope they let you switch between Peter Parker and Spider-Man at will, like they did in one of the DLC’s. Also, vehicles - maybe the Pizza Delivery bike that Peter Parker used? Plus, a wing suit, so you can glide rather than swing (like Just Cause). And finally, being able to visit the Statue of Liberty.

Re: Reminder: Last Chance to Claim May 2023's PS Plus Essential Games
I didn’t even bother adding them to my library. No interest to me sadly. I am looking forward to this months games though (Trek to Yomi),

Re: There's New Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Footage in Across the Spider-Verse
Took my Nephews to see it on Friday and we all agreed it was the best Spider-Man movie by far. Can’t wait for part 3.

Re: Want More Resident Evil Remakes? Tell Capcom Which Ones in Official Survey
Just RE1 and CVX please. But tbh I’d rather they remade DinoCrisis before anything else.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2023 Announced
Already own JWE2 but I really wanted Trek to Yomi. Good month.
Re: PS5 Showpiece Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Jumps to the PC Dimension in July
I wish they had a team working on a new Ratchet & Clank game.
I’ve played them all to date but would quite happily play a new one every year and never get bored.

It will get a physical release when it doesn’t meet sales expectations. Just have to be patient.

Re: Sony Significantly Scales Back Development of The Last of Us Multiplayer for PS5, Says Report
They should just bundle it with TLoU3 at this point. ND were a great studio once but they’ve really become quite boring in the last few years.
Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum's Dismal Reception Prompts Apology from Daedalic

I’ll probably wait for a patch or two but I’ll definitely play it at some point.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Is a Digital-Only Release, $60 on PS5
I thought it looked interesting but I won’t buy it if it’s digital only. I’ll wait until it’s £4.99 in a sale or when it comes to PS+.
Re: Well-Loved Co-Op Shooter Sequel Helldivers 2 Targets PS5, PC This Year
@Wheatly that’s exactly what I thought - looks exactly like Starship Troopers. Especially when ‘Enlist today’ appears at the end.
Do you want to know more?

@Intr1n5ic also Radio Gaga and Living on My Own (not Queen but still…).
Re: Surprise! Beat Saber Is Available for PSVR2 Right Now, Free Upgrade for PSVR Players
I want to play it just for the Queen songs. Never played Beat Sabre before.
Re: From the Maker of GRIS comes Neva, a Gorgeous, Solemn Adventure Game on PS5
This was one of the games I thought looked interesting. The art style is gorgeous.
Re: Assassin's Creed Mirage First Gameplay Looks Much More Traditional, Stabs October Release Date
I’ve really missed old Assassins Creed. I was burnt out on the new style AC after Valhalla (the only entry I haven’t bothered with the dlc). I hope Mirage captures the magic of the old AC games.
Re: The Plucky Squire Looks Absolutely Wonderful in New PS5 Gameplay Trailer
At first I was like, ugh, but the 3D elements look great. I’ll keep an eye on this one.

Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
@theMEGAniggle I lost connection twice and I have really good broadband. It happens every time. I missed most of the Assassins Creed trailer.
Re: Poll: Was This Sony's Best PlayStation Showcase Yet?
I’m not a fan of the format of showing trailer after trailer without any presenter in between. It feels really impersonal.

Re: Japanese Retailers Appear to Know Assassin's Creed Mirage's PS5, PS4 Release Date
I’m optimistic this will be good but I really hope they create characters that speak and behave like real human beings this time.
Re: Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Back at Concept Stage After Total Reboot
Wish they would remake the 2008 PoP game (or remaster it at least). That game was so good.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 477
Mostly Humanity, very addictive. And Fortnite.
Re: Days Gone Dev Can't Wait to Show You Its First PS5 Exclusive
I’m not hyped exactly but I am interested to see what they’re working on. If it was Days Gone 2 I’d be hyped.
Re: Days Gone Dev Can't Wait to Show You Its First PS5 Exclusive
@lacerz especially the mega herd at the sawmill - that took some doing to clear them all out.

These look great though 😁

Re: Miles Morales Crosses the Spider-Verse, Winds Up in Fortnite
@BeerIsAwesome I think Sony only have the movie rights to these characters? But this Fortnite collab is a good way to promote the new movie.
Re: Miles Morales Crosses the Spider-Verse, Winds Up in Fortnite
Finally 😁 I really thought this was going to be the tier 100 skin in the next battle pass. I wonder who it will be now?
Re: Poll: What's the Best PlayStation Startup Sequence?
PS1 for me. I can hear it as I type this.
Struggling to remember the PS4/PS5 startup sounds and I only logged into my PS5 20 minutes ago.
Re: Insomniac 'Working Hard' to Make Spider-Man 2 Its Best Game Ever
I hope they let you switch between Peter Parker and Spider-Man at will, like they did in one of the DLC’s. Also, vehicles - maybe the Pizza Delivery bike that Peter Parker used? Plus, a wing suit, so you can glide rather than swing (like Just Cause). And finally, being able to visit the Statue of Liberty.
