The first one was probably one of the most enjoyable games on the Vita for me. Just the right level of challenge and had that 'one more go' ingredient that makes a game like this great.
@Frozen_Pov Yes, it has happened for a few games, I purchased currency for Elite Dangerous when it was reduced briefly in a psn sale. You need to keep an eye as each sale comes though. Use the store filters, currency sales aren't advertised on the blogs.
I think saying to avoid another Resident Evil 3 situation is a bit harsh, Liam. Makes it sound like it's just one for the bargain bin.
A Resident Evil 4 remake would be very popular, I'm sure, seems a good bet.
Wow, that is a shame, they really did strip a lot out of this game, mercenaries mode as well. I'll still play it but must admit my expectations were pretty high after Resi 2. Ah well.
I don't mind losing this particular function. But I still enjoy playing PS3 games, collecting trophies for those, as well as watching Netflix and other catch up TV, so hopefully it's only because people dont really use the messaging system much.
Well, 'fidgety' is an improvement over 'butthurt' at least so there is that? Still sad to see the eagerness to stir the pot though and making an issue when there isn't one.
No way, man. Bring back games on cassette tapes with ten minute load times and using a pen when all the tape came unravelled. Kids these days, eh? Back in my day..
I remember all the arguments about the N64 being twice as powerful as the PSone back in the day. Look how that turned out. Numbers mean very little on their own.
Both superb games, would be silly to suggest otherwise. I probably won't download them personally, unless the communty here is keen to set up some online races on Dirt 2, that could be fun.
I was planning to trade the ps4 in for the PS5 on release, now I'm not sure what I'll do. Really do not want to lose access to my ps4 library. But there's only so much room under the telly.
Is this site really going to start calling people butthurt? I'm sure there's a fair argument to suggest these fans are overreacting but it reads more like a young teenager posting on social media. You can do better than that.
I would like to think Sony are smart enough to not react to a few bored souls on social media. Those toxic playgrounds rarely have anything of value to offer society, be it Twitter or whatever.
Played a little bit of Metro Exodus earlier, some really fun story telling in there. Might play some more of Dreams later, despite the shortness of Art's Dream, it's still taking me a few sessions to get through it, loving it.
@Neolit It's more the fact that we're coming to the end of a generation soon and there are a considerable amount of high quality games coming out, combined with so many top games in the backlog, I find a certain ruthlessness is required at this point, as there's no chance there will be enough time to play every game that looks interesting.
I've been jumping between so many games in the last few days. Metro Exodus, Zombie Army Trilogy, Duck Tales Remastered and Hollow Knight. Can hopefully get a good go on Dreams soon as well. I usually try to focus on just the one game at a time, haha.
@Col_McCafferty I commend you for not being upset, not worth losing sleep over this sort of thing. I do understand the argument that there are considerably more complex and involved games out there that would be the more obvious choice for the bigger awards.
But I often find the most fun I have is with the smaller indie games, and sometimes a short indie experience will stay with me much more than a long campaign from a big budget triple A game, so it does please me to see them not being overlooked for this sort of thing. Controversial perhaps, but it does generate some interesting discussion.
@Flaming_Kaiser I see your point. And even worse it celebrates geese misbehaving, so I think I can see why you used the word worst. Very apt. What's next? A game where a frog tries to dodge traffic while it crosses a busy road, putting the poor drivers in danger? Let's hope not.
I wasn't expecting all this indignation in the comments. I've yet to play the goose game but it looks very entertaining and different.
Why are people so upset over this? Bad experience with a goose while having a picnic by the river? Certainly no laughing matter. Let me know which goose it was and I'll endeavor to have words with them.
@get2sammyb What are your thoughts on re-reviewing games? I imagine when this game arrives on ps+ next week that empty lobbies should no longer be an issue and as I understand it, the game received numerous patches giving quality of life improvements since it's arrival.
So assuming an influx of new players doesn't overburden the servers and everything goes smoothly, it might make for quite a different experience now.
Yes, agreed, a brilliant soundtrack. I loved the soundtrack for Pyre as well, so good, I purchased the music for both separately from their website. Adds so much to the experience. Really looking forward to their next game.

I didn't ask for anything, just said it was a good bet due to its popularity. Stop trolling.
Re: PS5 Cosmic Horror Quantum Error Targeting 4K, 60FPS with 'Beautiful' Raytracing
Refusing to even hint at a release date makes me wonder if this is the new, Deep Down. Could be years away from releasing.

Thesixthaxis gave it a 9 as well, definitely a site to trust for review scores in my experience.

Re: Random: Jet Engine PS4 Fan Noise Goes Viral in Social Media Mocking
Mine has been very loud recently, thinking it's really going to struggle in the summertime. Fingers crossed they nail this on PS5.
Re: Latest Resident Evil 3 Trailer Makes Jill Valentine the Star of the Show
Played the demo last night, great fun. That dodge mechanic is pretty awesome, very satisfying to nail the timing and successfully avoid an attack.

@shafedog247
That would be the previous game.
Re: Mini Review: Twin Breaker: A Sacred Symbols Adventure - A Fun Adaptation of Arkanoid
This being on the Vita makes it considerably more tempting. And it has a platinum trophy which is always nice!

That Theme Hospital game that came out recently. Unlikely but you never know.

Re: Guide: DOOM Eternal - What Difficulty Level Should I Start With?
@oldschool1987
Aye fair enough, it did take me a fair few attempts, I can see how it would start to frustrate after a while.
Re: Guide: DOOM Eternal - What Difficulty Level Should I Start With?
@oldschool1987
I really liked that trophy, was a proper challenge.
Re: Spelunky 2 Development Update Shares New PS4 Screenshots
Still easily one of my most anticipated games, first I've heard of it having Deathmatch. Will be brilliant fun, I'm sure.

I loved the original game, looking forward to seeing all the extra detail they add now.

Re: UK Sales Charts: Dreams Flies Low as Bayonetta and Vanquish Breach Top 10
To be fair, a fair number of people bought Dreams months ago for the early access.

Agreed that Crimes & Punishment was very good, hope we get to see another game as good as that.
Re: Latest Resident Evil 8 Leak Sounds a Little Bit Too Ridiculous

Re: Random: Eco-Friendly PS5 Cases Are Cute and Could Save the Planet
I hope they do make a big effort to be eco-friendly, a new generation is a good opportunity to do that.
Re: Random: Sony's Shu Yoshida Trolls PlayStation Fan with 'Where Is PS5?' Tweet

Re: This Fan Made Trailer Is Further Proof of the Insane Potential of Dreams on PS4
Awesome trailer, good spot. I've not attempted to create anything personally, but really interested to see what masterpieces await.
Re: Sony Suggests PS5 Price Is Still Undecided
I wonder what discount I can get if I trade my ps4 and psvr towards it.
Re: Astro Bot Rescue Mission Director to Head Up SIE Japan Studio for PS5 Generation
Great news, Astrobot was absolutely fantastic. Sort of like The Witcher 3, by which I mean it really spoils you by how much it raises the bar.

Re: Rumour: PS Plus February 2020 PS4 Game Outed By PlayStation Spain
Unexpected, I thought this was selling far too well to ever be on ps+. Maybe it's to prepare people for next gen Bandicoot?
Re: Mini Review: Hardcore Mecha - Story-Based Ode to Gundam Is a Fantastic Slice of Mecha Action
Sounds right up my street, bit of a backlog though at the moment so... one to look forward to.
How do you rate the soundtrack?
Re: Sony's Shuhei Yoshida Describes Dreams as a 'Ten Year' Project

We did get 5 LBP games to be fair if you include the PSP & vita. It was a good run.

As amazing as a Legacy of Kain remake sounds, I believe it's owned by Square Enix. So it seems unlikely.
