@__jamiie Me too, it wasn’t the greatest but it was still fun to play and the story although cheesy was memorable. One of the more memorable games from that gen for me

Concord - The massive elephant in the room trying not to make eye contact and acting all weird

@Skyfall Totally true, now they are trying to back peddle and smooth it over as they have realised it won’t make them money

Juice Wrld, oh dear. . . I’m getting old Lol

Think I’m gonna wait for the PS5 pro edition

@riceNpea Lol don’t give them ideas 😁🙈

@Jedihillis Yea totally agree re the wing suit, or maybe if it had been an end game unlock that you had to complete x missions for or something would have made it better

I didn’t like the bits with MJ or the deaf girl where you were forced to play as them. Would have been better if those characters were developed better, their missions were optional/side objectives and gameplay in a better context. Also although the wing suit was cool took away from the Spider-Man ness of it all. It was still enjoyable but could have been so much more, I’d give it a 7/8 out of 10

Sadly this is the way now, I love physical games but so few places sell them now compared to the old days, I hate going into town now as it’s run down and getting physical releases is harder than it should be, as a result I’ve ended up going digital. The future appear all digital sadly

@JalapenoSpiceLife The ‘deed’ lol made me chuckle.

Made me think of ‘Hop on the good foot to the the bad thing’ and other such sayings 🤭

Back on topic, I’d love an anniversary ps5 but just don’t think it’s worth it for me personally. Looks super cool tho. I’m probably going to get one of those controllers tho, they look too cool to skip, to play PSOne classic games obviously lol

@revansgc Brannigan's Law is like Brannigan's love: hard and fast.

Lol couldn’t help it you made me chuckle

In all these years I’ve never played dino crises and am looking to finally give it a go

@JonnyAces My daughter was in hospital for 2 months back in 2016, it was a really hard time. Thoughts and best wishes mate and hope everything is ok. Stay strong

Space Marine 2, 30hrs in and 75 percent of the trophies done, just grinding my level up. Loving it, reminds me so much of Gears Of War

@Blaze215 I’m of the exact same opinion, I totally recommend space marine 2, I’ve not played a game like this in years. No message or politics. Has a single player, co-op PvE mode and a decent PvP multiplayer. A deep unlock system and the artwork/graphics are awesome. Gory and violent. It’s like playing a game from 2005-2010 but in the best possible way. I feel like I’m playing Gears Of War for the first time again, totally worth a look. I’ve never been interested in Warhammer before either

@Blaze215 I currently playing Space Marine 2 and it’s awesome, no message getting pushed, just a good old fashioned game that’s fun. We need more of those

@nicc83 Exactly! Lol you took the words right out of my tired and old 40yr old mouth. What a cheeky little upstart! Back in my day etc …

How very boring, I remember when awesome new games would get dropped with the new hardware - hardware pushers. The awesome new games made you want to buy the new hardware. Where is the awesome new games?

@ZeD Concord Remastered lol

@nomither6 I’m not going to get into a never ending argument lol (my preference being PSOne lol) but suffice to say PlayStation was pumping out some pure classics in the past. Absolute goldmine that they are sitting on now, they just need to get back there

Ridiculous, they’re sitting on a gold mine of unused IPs and they remaster games I can already play that run great!! Put down whatever you’re smoking Sony.

We don’t want remakes of the last of us, zero dawn, days gone, Spider-Man 2, Returnal, God Of War Ragnarok and GT7 lol

What about Twisted metal, Jumping Flash, Warhawk, Jet Moto, Wipeout, Killzone, Resistance, SOCOM, Sly Cooper, Syphon Filter, The Puppeteer, Coolboarders, Motorstorm, Bloodborn. Where are these, these would sell like crazy and be fresh and fun as you’ve left them to rot for so long. Pull your finger out, wake up out of your corporate day dream and get back to greatness.

Your youthful edgyness is gone and you’re a boring middle aged corporate shill. Turn it around, PlayStation used to have so much energy.

If 90s PlayStation could see todays PlayStation they’d be making commercials ripping on it calling it boring and lame

@nitraM The Professor got schooled in video game 101, lessons have been learned lol

Concord has made me suspicious so I’ll say No thanks and it’ll have to persuade me otherwise

@Troubbble I agree it’s best to leave things in their original state. With these remakes/remasters I think they should either stay true to the original or if they feel so strongly then have the option to play the ‘new version’ but always retain the original. Personally I don’t like the way they take things out, it’s like they are sort of erasing history.

The ruined the star wars movies with this and now it’s difficult to normally access and watch the originals.

Back to gaming recent examples also include in the new Marvel vs Capcom fighting collection they removed the Twin Towers in the punisher game. They were in a background of a 16bit cutscene and now they’ve been erased from the game completely it’s like they don’t want to make reference or don’t want you to remember they previously existed. Street fighter 2 has been censored too over the years.

I get people are more sensitive these days but all these examples are how things were at the time and rightly or wrongly what you think of them, I don’t think they should be erased and forgotten, preservation is key.

@Jrs1 PSone era was so good and exciting now it’s corporate blandness and boring old games (Astro bot being a rare exception)

Another specular game to movie endeavour. The Mario movie was great, uncharted, MK and sonic ok but more often than not they are duds. I can’t imagine this will be good, but could be wrong I’ll have to wait and see. Can’t be as bad as the Minecraft one coming, it looks horrendous lol

@WizzNL A total hater lol, it’s so a 10/10. Easily as good as Super Mario Odyssey and that is a high bar of fun and quality

The tragic legacy of concord continues

If consoles keep going up in price like this there’s gonna be a gap in the market for a a budget retro style console at this rate

@hypnotoad This won’t be a 299 mike drop moment lol

Angry vibes, he made a good game that although didn’t hit the dizzying highs he wanted still sold well and has a cult following.

He should be happy he made a PlayStation character who’s celebrated

I like to go in blind but also appreciate the guide, knowing it’s there if I need it. I spent enough hours back in the day going round in circles not knowing what to do to appreciate it lol

@BecauseBecause lol good one ☺️👍🏻

@BecauseBecause The level layouts are terrible lol, you’re not wrong there I didn’t remember it being that bad. Like the reviewer, I completed it on rerelease on normal under an hour and thought really was that it!?! (I had to YouTube one of the exits TBF lol). I remembered it being much bigger and easier to navigate the levels, I guess that’s how we played back then trial and error with multiple runs until you know maps inside out.

I also found it strange that most of the levels you have to get back to the start with the artefact and then the last few levels the exit is in a different place nowhere near the start making it much harder, awful idea lol

Definitely one of those games when you go back to it, it’s not as good as you remembered

Still I’m very nostalgic for this and love its roughness and shortcomings. Being objective it has aged terribly you’re right.

I think at the time they rushed it out for the PS2 launch. Playing it now, it’s like it’s missing the story. I think a big thing for them at the time was it running fast and smooth in multiplayer, that’s why I think the graphics are a bit basic.

Half life was awesome, groundbreaking at the time, I was just thinking about it the other day funnily enough. I played it on PC back in the day, my mate got the PS2 version. Good times

No way, this is like an easy 9. Whilst I respect the reviewer he has clearly went mad giving this a 5 lol
Whilst 2 is the objectively better game, I always found 3 a bit soulless but Timesplitters 1 is a stone cold classic, one of the best early PS2 games. I picked it up on release a played it non stop for months. Not that I’m nostalgic about it or anything…

I love a platinum dropping but this seems ridiculous

@PloverNutter Lol I forget about that, I love stuff like this. It’ll be a gaming oddity many years from now and we can all think back and remember

@get2sammyb Definitely what I think, Sony will want to bury this in back of their chamber of secrets and hope it’s forgotten about

@AdamNovice I love the first one, played through it on easy yesterday and completed it in about an hour. Love the quick levels and replay ability of it. Such a good game especially for the time

Yay Indiana Jones, that would be cool if true

7/10 and well under 1 min, I’m turning into a PlayStation encyclopaedia lol

I love the fact this is a 1st party, exclusive PS5 FPS. I would have preferred a kill zone/Socom/resistance however I still think it looks interesting and I liked the general gameplay on the beta.

It’s not the greatest game or anything but I liked it, thought it was fun enough for £35 and was interested in picking it up, smashing out a few trophies maybe the platinum and leaving it there when the next game comes along or playing it longer if it’s really decent.

The lack of interest in the beta, low numbers of players and reading the comments on sites like this puts me off and makes me cautious as I’d hate to pick it up and struggle to find games.

I hate all constant internet negativity games get nowadays. Sure it’s not perfect and it’s rough around the edges but not every game needs to be the next greatest thing or next massive tent pole game.

There’s a place for average to good games out there, they’re the sort of games that become cult classics.

Not saying concord will be a cult classic and it could be a load of rubbish (like redfall- but it’s definitely much better than that) , but the beta which I played for about 6hrs with my mate seemed ok and nowhere near as bad as the many comments and YouTube videos would have you believe.

I’ll have to wait and see I guess. It would have probably been different if there was a single player campaign mode.

Nice, that’s something I didn’t know I wanted lol

A shadow drop would be awesome

Can’t wait for this

@Korgon I’ve just posted what could have been a reply to your post lol. I’m exactly of the same opinion.

Definitely have a point re the community. I don’t mind the price as I enjoyed it much more than I thought. It’s the idea of no one else playing it not long after launch that puts me off.

It’s not great that it’s getting the bad press/such negative numbers either as that’ll push people away too. I really do think there’s people out there that see the bad press/numbers and are turned off immediately without playing it. I nearly was but thought what is there to loose and had a go and enjoyed it more than I imagined.

I was expecting to hate the beta, but I actually kinda liked it. It’s nothing special but I thought it had some things going for it and liked the really chill vibe of the game and colourful retro art style. I liked the quick round times and it gave me that one more game feeling. Characters were a but cringe but I ended up putting 7hrs into the beta and felt a bit gutted when it went down.

At present it’s a 6/7 at best but I liked it’s an exclusive Sony FPS and new IP (that may be rose tinting my outlook). Wish it did better than it did player wise, if the price point was FTP or £15/20 then I think it wouldn’t be getting as much hate. I’ll be interested to see how it does but I imagine how it’ll play out.

Really wanted a kill zone or resistance reboot/new entry or a modern SOCOM. Sony is sitting on a gold mine of perfect FPS/TPS IPs for a game like this and it’s like they don’t even know it. Looks like they’ll take an L with concord which is a shame.

Not a Warhammer fan but that is awesome art, it should be on display in The Louvre's video game and si-fi section

Should have been a SOCOM live service title, instead of shorts they could have slowly released 15-20 missions bi-weekly/monthly near the climax you could play as a squad. And have a PVP squad shooter available Right out the box. They could have even reused all the old maps.
