@NEStalgia LEGO Horizon Adventures isn't even out yet. REMASTER IT!!!

Astro Bot has been out for nearly 2 whole weeks now, so they'll probably remaster it soon.

@AlienigenX even the music during the menus is peak.

The visuals, music, writing and characters of God of War 2018 were absolutely stellar, which is why it was such a shame I didn't really like actually playing it and also why I won't be playing Ragnarok. To be honest, I preferred the gameplay of the PS2, PS3 and PSP games.

At least it's not a live service game. 🤷

Next to The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, Soul Sacrifice was my most played Vita game, and I would absolutely jump on a remaster (for PC; I don't own consoles).

@get2sammyb it was absolutely grim; I loved the gothic twists on all the creatures and characters from myths, folklore and fairy tales, and the origin stories behind each one.

@Leon_93 Gravity Rush was another Vita gem. There were a lot of underrated games on that platform.

I was thinking just the other day how different it could have gone for some of the Vita-only games if they'd released on a platform people actually bought. Freedom Wars was cool; don't know if I'd play it again, but if Sony announces Soul Sacrifice Remastered I'll happily put another 100+ hours into that.

Everyone cares about scores too much in general, not just Metacritic scores.

I bought Helldivers 2 a couple of weeks ago. I've put around 30 hours into it so far and have been having a ton of fun with it, and the first I knew that anything was wrong was when a blog post popped up in the Steam news feed. If I'm having fun now, I can't wait to see what it's like when Arrowhead "fixes" it 👍

£800 if you want a disc drive too. Oof.

How many more times am I going to read stories about industry/ex-industry leaders and executives and have to type "what a knob"?

Wow, what a knob.

I played the demo of this on PC and even on a 4080 I was experiencing frequent frame drops, so it sounds like the developers haven't sorted that out and the game isn't well optimised on any platform. Which is weird, because it's not like the game is much of a looker either.

@N1ghtW1ng it's a crime that Evolution wasn't able to carry on with Driveclub. A Sony executive just this week stated that the company doesn't have enough IP that it's nurtured from inception. Yeah, because you do sh*t like this; closing the studio after a single game in a potential franchise and never touching it again.

@get2sammyb aw, you changed it. That's no fun.

@get2sammyb

Thank you again to all the Freegunner who have joined us in the Concord galaxy.

That's both the funniest and the most fitting typo ever, given the circumstances.

Sony doesn't have enough IP?! Didn't they just TODAY release a game that celebrates all their IP?

Game communities are fascinating sometimes.

@__jamiie your last reply to me was removed before I could see it. Go figure. LUCKILY, I still got the email. Do you think maybe it is about respect? Do you think that maybe, just maybe, if everyone actually just respected people enough to accept them as who they are, we'd probably hear nothing about the matter? Ever? Instead, we have people so up in arms; "ooooh I'm being told how to refer to people, however will I cope?" Grow up, respect people more. That's all I'm going to say.

@__jamiie And that's their right. I personally have enough respect for people to refer to them in whatever way they wish 🤷

@__jamiie
1. You're not being hurt or inconvenienced in any way by having a character's pronouns visible in the corner of the screen in a character selection screen.
2. People who complain about pronouns are too stupid to realise that they themselves both have and use pronouns every single day.

@theSpectre @puddinggirl yeah, the whole "Concord failed because of pronouns" thing a lot of people - from your bog standard gamers to some fairly big YouTubers - have latched onto is utter *****. I have unsubscribed to a fair few people on YouTube since Concord came out, because I was sick of seeing the words "woke" and "pronouns" in video titles and thumbnails. People who are "anti-woke" and complain about pronouns are garbage human beings.

Well damn!! I expected Concord would soon be given to all PS Plus subscribers and then made completely free to play before the end of the year, in an attempt to scrounge up some kind of player base. But Christ, shut down within a few weeks after launch? That's wild.

This looks kind of good. Every dinosaur game that comes out nowadays is a bloody horror game, which I'm not into.

But will I get a weapon that fires projectiles that home in on enemies' heads, drill their brains out and then explode?

If you've ever queued DPS in Overwatch, you'd wish for a wait time of only 8 minutes.

As I only own a PC, yes. Astro Bot looks cool as hell and I'd like to play it.

From what I played of the open beta, Concord is a good game. It's just not doing anything that warrants the £35 price tag. Speaking personally, I generally dip in and out of multiplayer shooters, mostly because I'm dogs**t at them nowadays, so the idea of spending that much money on something I'll likely give up on for months at a time isn't appealing.

Fair play, that's brilliant.

I would be very interested to see the PS5 numbers for Concord. I wasn't expecting more than a few thousand on Steam, but 697?!

I know I'm in the minority, but I played the first 4 hours of God of War 2018 when it finally came to PC and noped out of there. It looks gorgeous and I was into the story and characters, but I disliked actually playing it.

@Futureshark

Now fully porn compatible

All thanks to the PSVR2 PC aFAPter.

@InfidelFrigidstraigh ah yes, the developers of Black Myth: Wukong, AKA the patron saints of scumbaggery.

They should absolutely include more deep cuts like Jeff.

This is the best thing I've ever seen. £100 says Turn 10 puts this in the next Forza Motorsport update.

@get2sammyb precisely. So why stick to a "house style" that contradicts that fact? A house style that, judging by the comments above this one, I'm not the only one confused/irritated by?

@get2sammyb

This is just the author's opinion

Here's my problem with that statement. You say that this write-up of the game/beta is one person's personal opinion, yet it's not presented that way:

Yet after our time with the closed PS5 beta

That, we're not so sure on.

After just a couple of rounds the fatigue of this take had already worn on us.

But in our first handful of hours

We can envisage

After a handful of hours with Marvel Rivals, we're not eager for one more game

Oh, and my personal favourite, in regards to your statement:

However, Marvel Rivals lacks a certain fun factor — at least in our opinion.

I've noted and voiced my opinion on Hookshot's constant insistence on using "we", "our", "us", etc, when it makes no sense whatsoever to do so, which you've just proved 🤷

Sorry, but having spent time with both the Concord and Marvel Rivals betas, the latter is unquestionably the better game.

@naruball Really? I thought it was arse.

I played the original PS1 version for the first time recently. Hate to tell everyone, but that game's bad.

Those walking/running animations are abysmal.

I played Speedstorm for around 2 hours before losing interest, due to the need to purchase and then level up individual characters to even have a hope of being competitive. Plus, hot take, but:

1. Speedstorm's gameplay isn't the hot sh*t everyone says it is.
2. Speedstorm's visuals/track designs are ugly.

There are so many far better - and less scummy - Kart racer alternatives out there, I'm amazed the game's lasted this long.

If I want to game in the nip, I'll game in the nip. You're not the boss of me.

It's not the "hero shooter" part that bothers me, just the "shooter" part. If it's a 6v6 game where you actually use each hero/villain's powers and traversal abilities, then I'm all for giving it a go. But if it's another Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League situation (Thunderbolts: Kill the Avengers?🤷), where every character has guns regardless of whether or not it makes thematic sense, then I'm out.

Surely the only people taking Famitsu reviews seriously nowadays are those working in PR for game publishers?

Bloody finally!!!

@HoodedSpirit don't forget Conker-ing the seven seas 👍

Lots of games looked very promising and I'll definitely be checking out Stellar Blade, Rise of the Ronin, Sonic X Shadow Generations and Judas, albeit on PC. That remake of Silent Hill 2 though? Oof. That looks ropey as f**k.

@matekomlosi they've probably got to put at least one more version of TLoU2 out yet.

@ApostateMage they'll have Cloud f**king a bear within the first 5 minutes.
