Is the game worth it? I'm tempted to buy it now it is on steam for my steam deck. Or I could play 2 or 3 which I shamefully haven't tried either!

I don't own fallen order yet. Axiom verge 1 is amazing, so not bad for me.

I've only been subscribed a couple of years - has the service really gotten much worse? I do enjoy some of their originals, particularly Stranger Things. I have Amazon Prime but I did that for delivery - I've never really looked at what they offer for digital content. Heavily considering Disney+ at the moment as my boyfriend loves films and has seen most Disney films and all the Marvel ones, and we just moved in together. I have catching up to do.

I backed this on kickstarter and it has been a LONG road to completion, with the game originally due years ago, but I must say I'm really impressed. The game feels extremely polished and definitely like a bigger release, than the indie title it is. Former Studio Liverpool devs started R8 Games so that is why it is so close to WipEout. I seriously recommend others try this game.

I'm level 346 now. Was 23 before I think.

@LemonHaze exactly! I have a vitamin D deficiency for Christ's sake, I'm literally the definition of a stay at home, harcore gamer 😁

Oh I do hope this becomes successful. It has the power, like a lot of indie devs have had with the walls of admission into development finally coming down somewhat, to allow creative people to flourish and maybe even get a foot in the door to an industry they love.

I'm not really a content creator.... I never dabbled in LBP's creation suites, only really playing the campaigns, but I am in general quite creative and reading this really inspires me to want to give it a try and create something, and that is a huge hurdle: getting people to give it a go. Hopefully given that the game is finally only releasing now they have the plans and port already ready to go for PS5, as this thing could grow and evolve and could seriously have some legs.

@nessisonett IIRC it started out as RE3 fan made project if RE3 adopted over-the-shoulder mechanics. I'm sure I read that in an article about it. So yeah, very Resident Evil.

@Paranoimia what about playing others' creations? That's what I want it for. Might dabble myself in the creator mode but variety and frequent awe are likely the pulls for me in user made stuff.

@JohnKarnes I know everyone is banging on about the backwards compatibility but as someone who has a 4TB external HDD attached to my PS4 I'm gonna keep it I think...it is full lol.

Am looking forward to this. Every time I see a trailer for it it makes me want to go back and play Spintires Mudrunner while I'm waiting.

Sorry if this is a little daft, but haven't they left it a little late to file the trademark?

Hands up if you still haven't bought GTA V?? (I haven't yet)

I had forgotten that I bought the triple pack of PSP titles (Parappa, Patapon, LocoRoco) ages ago. Patapon is a little gem of a game. If there's one rhythm game that needs sync options, it's Parappa. The timing is so off in that game.

@wiiware I would settle for an Onimusha quadrilogy pack or something, just upscale to be honest. Dino Crisis remakes NEED to happen though. We have so many zombie games, but not nearly enough Dino games.

That's a highly optimistic goal to get all the shooting and CGI done in time, especially given the troubles so far.

Glad the release is getting nearer as I've had my eye on this. Will be interesting to see how it turns out, as I'm currently unsure whether I want to buy it on the PS4 or on the Switch for on the go.

Really enjoyed the demo so it will be sad if this never releases. Surely, they must have something decent though by now? They have the demo. Could they not release what they have in some sort of early access form to give them an injection of cash to finish it off?

As some one who would like to play games on release but can't afford them, usually for quite a while anyway, it doesn't really make a difference to me, other than to say that it should be seen as a good thing, because then the games should be better on release and not freely rushed, and will be less likely to have bugs and need frequent updates.

Sorry to be the boring one here, but what I would really like is cardboard. There are a lot of old games that eventually go to landfill, and given how much plastic we have polluted the earth with, we could learn a lot from Sega and what happened with the pc game I forgot the title of (think it was a football or championship manager type thing recently).

I have the last of us remastered and I still haven't played it properly. I really need to get on that. I played a bit of the opening section and was wowed and for some reason got distracted and ended up playing something else.

@Deadlyblack how grindy are the xenoverse titles? Have to admit to having not played a DBZ game.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. And given the PS4 has been consistently brilliant and performed well, and given how the Vita confused some and could have been different if it was called the PSP 2 (not saying it would have been, but could have helped some) there really is no need to change things up.

@KrazyK85 I've managed to avoid it with most games (God of War is in my backlog, Death Stranding too). I don't understand the mentality of finding out every single detail of a game before playing it. I mean, why then bother at all when the discovery has all been spoiled?

@KrazyK85 it's definitely possible. Didn't that happen with Kingdom Hearts 3? If so Squeenix need to be more careful!

@KrazyK85 haha we are not old. 30s are the new 20s because 40s are the new 30s, or something! Just seen on N4G and someone has cracked the demo and posted a nearly 15 minute video. Needless to say I didn't and will not be watching it.

@Gmork___ I haven't played it but I've seen some mightily impressive videos of it. I'm sure it will be high on many game of the year lists for 2020

@Gmork___ dreams hasn't been officially released yet. It's still in early access.

@carlos82 agreed. I can't believe people bought this broken mess in the first place. Seriously, I know you can be a super fan, but if I ever come across a game this broken I avoid it completely.

@KrazyK85 agreed. Though I usually manage to avoid game previews and spoilers well for the games I really want to play (I still know next to nothing about Death Stranding for example and will be buying it when I can afford it), whenever it is FFVII Remake I can't help but lap up every bit of info that comes out.

I NEED THIS NOW!! Everything about this game has shown me that care and attention is being given to the remake. Final Fantasy VII is my favourite game of all time, and the intro gave me several shivers down my spine.

I was 11 when the game originally came out, and that year I remember going into Game with my parents. The shop staff actually advised me against the game due to my age and I'm glad they did actually. We ended up with a PS1 and 6 games (Croc, Crash Bandicoot, Total Drivin' and I think WipEout 2097 and a couple of others) and my mind was blown with 3D graphics. A couple of years later after reading many an article about the game in magazines at the time I finally got the game and my sister and I played through it after school every night for weeks. I cried when that moment happened. I couldn't believe that the ATB and materia systems were so flexible, and a completely new way of playing for me, as I had never played an RPG before. What a way to start. FFVII spurred me into the genre and I remember immediately renting and loving Star Ocean The 2nd Story, Alundra, Wild Arms and many more. Such fond memories.

There is little that brings as much joy as HONK. Even typing HONK brings me tidings of great HONK.

@WetWildWendy whatever. Not sure what you're smoking, but you go ahead and be inflammatory if it helps your ego 😊😂

You told me I was being random, I proved to you I wasn't, you spat your dummy out. Sucks to be proven wrong eh? I had forgotten all about this post and comments! But you're still worrying enough about it even now. Whatever makes you happy. We can agree to disagree. I wish you all the best but perhaps it's better to just not reply, rather than going for personal attacks. Good day to you 😉

@Ralizah it would have been, but now everyone is expecting it they should go with something else.

@hoffa007 I'm pretty much the same, although I don't tend to sell the games on as I like keeping the discs, whether they are unpatched or not. People complaining about digital pricing - yes it's unfair and often much higher than physical, but it also means the physical market is still alive and we at least have some ownership of our titles. All digital would be ok with me if we always have access to the games, but there will always be an expiry date to which we are not privy. I don't use Steam but as far as my knowledge of it is concerned, Valve are at least keeping the games on their servers and accessible and have been for years. The issue with consoles is when everyone moves on to the next generation, the demand for the previous drops so low that the platform holder switches off servers and makes the games no longer downloadable.

I find this news somewhat worrying for Microsoft. They are supposed to be hitting back with lots of games, but very few people have dev kits and we only have a year to go until the next generation hits, whereas sony has lots of studios working on games. What they would be wise to remember is it isn't always about brute force - if you look at the PS2, still the best selling console of all time, it was less powerful than the Gamecube and Xbox, but it dominated by having the best support and games. Granted, Microsoft completely screwed just about everything there was to screw up coming into this generation, but assuming they want to remain relevant they are going to need to pull out all the stops. If it ends up being more powerful than the competition then good for them, but the Xbox One X did nothing to dent the PS4 lead - surely that should tell them something? Microsoft really need to get their act together and fast. Maybe they will end up with some really cool extra bit of tech or power, but they are fighting the momentum of Sony with now well over 100 million PS4's sold and a huge host of extremely capable first party studios and IP. Microsoft need to come fighting out of the gate this time, and with a year left, dev kits really should be in as many hands as possible, whether final or not. We know final specs of consoles can change as late as possible, but the reality is all that will happens is specs will increase if anything, so it would benefit Microsoft to get those kits out and if things get better for devs then they will have a higher ceiling to work with when it comes to optimisation at the end.

The guy is a total idiot, and will say literally anything to try and pull people to the Xbox brand. He got flack so he U-turned. The guy cannot be trusted and I'm so glad he is in the Xbox and not Sony camp. Going into the next generation is going to be super tough for Microsoft, given how badly they dropped the ball, and it's going to be a big test to see if Phil can gain traction with Xbox. With all the Playstation franchises now, backwards compatibility, 100 million+ players all almost certainly going for PS5 unless Microsoft does some super crazy discount or something to make Xbox somehow more appealing.....yeah, good luck Phil.

@ShogunRok Well true, sales haven't been as strong. I think there have been more slow burners recently. People are getting wiser with money when they realise discounts are coming much sooner on games than they used to.

Not too hot? Resident Evil 2, Monster Hunter Iceborne, Days Gone, Sekiro Shadows Die Twice, Borderlands 3, Far Cry New Dawn, Metro Exodus, Wolfenstein, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Death Stranding, The Outer Worlds, Control, Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled, Kingdom Hearts 3, Ace Combat 7 etc etc. There have been quite a few this year?

@thefirst I haven't played it yet! And at that price I might finally take the plunge and save it for later.

@Kidfunkadelic83 yeah. I played the PS3 SSX but it wasn't the same. To think how fantastic a revival could be, but I doubt EA will do it as I don't think the PS3 SSX sold all that well.

Hmmm.....this game has a 7.8 user score on metacritic and one review from a user. I wonder if it's the devs, given how much you are disappointed with the game. What a shame as this looked promising.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy you've kind of answered your own question. I can't think of another reason. Ironically it's also bad for publicity having the embargo after, as now the assumption is the game isn't going to be any good.

@Churchy yeah, do the trilogy remaster, that would be enough for now. Every time there is talk of Timesplitters it reminds me of my launch day PS2, and me gambling on the game. It was my first ever FPS, and getting used to the dual stick controls took me a long time, but man that and SSX got A LOT of playtime.

Someone at shopto needs a slap on the wrist!

I would have switched GT Sport and DriveClub personally. Nothing from any driving game has been any better yet IMHO. Yes the lighting in GT Sport is great, and the interiors are more detailed, but even the paintwork on the cars in DriveClub just looks so real, to my eyes at least. I won't even get started on those rain effects.

@get2sammyb excellently written peace and bang on the pulse yourself. It's refreshing to finally see Sony not being bullish and downright idiotic at the end of a highly successful generation, like they were at the end of the PS2, or Microsoft were at the end of the Xbox 360. The console game is often a tight race and can swing heavily on decisions that both platform holders have been silly with in the past (and Nintendo for that matter). Hopefully it will continue and they come out strong next generation, and ideally Microsoft does too, because competition is necessary to push things forward and two successful consoles ensure the greatest rewards for gamers. I must admit I'm more excited going into the next generation than any before to see how it plays out; with console graphical gains becoming less and less, innovation is becoming more and more important.

It's possible the releases have dried up because Sony wants to hit the ground running with first party PSVR content on PS5. Given they have said the current PSVR is going to be compatible and not superseded soon.

It's going to come down to price, Sony. At £499 it will be seen as respectable value but not everyone will be able to afford to upgrade. At £399 it will be seen as stupendous value and people will sell their left kidneys.

@JohnKarnes same here. I will pick up Conrete Genie at some point probably, but the PS1 was my favourite console of all time alongside the N64, and nothing would stop me getting MediEvil.
