Like the series but not a fan of this new direction. Looks pretty boring tbh.

@DarthKiwi hmm, if I did I've completely blanked it. Will have to give it a watch.

@Toypop My thoughts exactly. 1 month out and they've showed next to nothing real. Add that to delays and I'm very sceptical that this game has any hope of living up to its hype. I mean let's be real, even without the red flags this game would struggle to live up to the level of hype it has.

Looks gorgeous and sounds right up my alley. Definitely interested.

Great to see they're supporting the game after release. Not very common with retro collections. The game looks awesome but I'm still going to wait for it to go on deep sale like most of these collections do.

Have any of those "from the creators of..." games that are more or less unlicensed spiritual successors ever ended up better than the originals? I'm sure there's some example but I can't think of any. Destiny I guess is close.

But yeah, generally have very little interest in these type of games unless they're real old school throwbacks. If they're bigger games they just end up being a similar game with a much smaller budget.

Didn't know it was a deck builder. Has more of my interest now. Hopefully it comes to one of the platform services at some point.

So they think playing the role of reddit edge lord fits the image of a racing game? Okay....

Wait, so they announced a game that is so early in pre-production that it didn't have a director? Have they learned absolutely nothing?

Really liked the game and put a lot of hours into it but this isn't really the kind of dlc I'm interested in for this game. Lots of the arcade games were lots of fun but it was mixing it with the management aspects that made it enjoyable to me and I beat the game already.

If I ever feel like starting a new game I'll get it though because I'll actually use it then and I'm happy to give the dev a few more dollars for their work.

No way. I've already got a $750AUD ps5 that's barely had any games released for it. I'm not going to add a VR headset that's the same price and will have even less games.

I hope Hideo doesn't become a Peter Moleneux (sp?) type. I mean he's half way there with how he talks about his games but he's managed to get away with it thankfully. It'd suck if he became ostracised like Peter did.

Can't believe we're still having this discussion. It should be standard by now.

I like cell shading as a graphic style but I'm really not a fan of all the cartoon stuff coming out of the car.

@Smiffy01 I'm struggling to think why on earth anyone would need or want a PS5 pro. I've had my ps5 since launch and while it's cool I have no idea how I'd even sell that to someone on the fence. The controller is cool when devs can be bothered to implement its features and it has a couple of games you can't play elsewhere? Again, I like it but I'm a big nerd. Even then it's mostly a glorified PS4 player. It's basically more of a nice that you've got it type thing than a necessity which isn't really a great thing for a console two years into its life.

This feels like the slowest start to a new generation ever. Bunch of remakes and stuff that's not much more than a slightly prettier PS4 game.

Really hope the console actually being on shelves means it starts getting more support.

Played it a bit last night. Just the first tutorial shift. My God are the controls a handful. Going to put some more time in as I love the concept. Hopefully I come to grips with the controls.

Take the clout down to woollies and see how many groceries it buys you. But hey, at least it's not susceptible to inflation...

@Korgon it could be argued that the devs/publishers are just as much to blame. They're happy to use people like this to drive hype and promote their products for free and in doing so trust them to act like responsible journalists. The problem is they're often not.

Should add the Steve Buscemi "fellow kids" meme while they at it...

No thanks. I've paid too much already on a bunch of controllers in the last couple of gens because of faults. Not spending 2.5 times the price of a regular controller for one that probably has the same build quality.

Have any of the company's this group owns ever published a AAA game (after they were bought out? I always hear their name in the news but have no idea what games they've actually published.

Not a basketball guy but that sounds incredibly cool.

@Milktastrophe if you're on a 12 month plan it's around $20 dollars more than the second tier here in Australia. Not that much really but you're already paying $135 for the second tier. There's also just over 50 games in that tier and they're not exactly world beaters for the most part. I'd rather have the $20 tbh. Especially given that they haven't seemed overly concerned with adding value to the tier to this point.

"Three Fields Entertainment returns"

Do they have to? All they've ever done is shovel out mediocrity.

Sony are clearly on the Nintendo model of utter disappointment when it comes to that 3rd tier. Thankfully they're a little closer to the MS model when it comes to the middle tier. Not as good as Game Pass but decent value for money. Tbf to them they have the leg up on MS with the low tier monthly games. I think they pioneered that model too, didn't they?

@riceNpea It's also spelled with a "z" depending on where you are in the world so not that helpful tbh. Even less helpful if you already knew...

The artist is spot on. An apology doesn't really cut it. Wtf happened? How did they manage to so blatantly rip off an independent artist? That's not an accident.

Dude should have waited until it was on sale before he raised the alarm...

Looks fun. Ty for the review.

This game screams dead on arrival.

I don't know how to feel about 6. On the one hand RDR2 was phenomenal and the idea of a GTA take with that kind of production sounds great. On the other hand GTA by its nature is very satirical. That causes two problems, one is that modern life almost makes it feel like we're post satire. The second is that being bombarded with satire from the likes of Rockstar might be a bit too much to stomach. Will the expect me to laugh along while they lampoon consumerism after they just spent 15 years milking GTAV? My eyes might roll too much while playing for me to see the game....

So the top tier remains a staggering waste of money in regions that don't allow game streaming? Nice.

How our of touch do you have to be to even ask?

That's a shame.

Gonna watch this latter. Know just about nothing about the game. Sid Meier's Pirates on xbox is one of my favourite games ever though so if it's anything like that I'd be stoked.

Edit: huh. It's definitely an Ubisoft game. Looks like a hard pass unless it's recieved amazingly at release. I'm not holding my breath...

Looking forward to Stray. Had it in my favourites list since day one. I'm an easy man to please. Give me cats and I'll be happy.

Only really interested in Far Cry 6 tbh. And it's a moderate interest.

Yeah, as an Aussie the 3rd tier is basically useless. Couple of fun nostalgia games but not enough that I'd say it's a worthwhile collection. If you're not old like me and didn't play the likes of Ape Escape when it first came out there's even less to like about it.

I never thought it was a cash grab. I think it's a unnecessary vanity project...

Must be depressing having to stay on this project and work on a game that was just about DOA. Oh well, a jobs a job.

Without mods? Still a great game but yeah, vanilla is pretty, well, vanilla after a few runs. That said you should get your moneys worth in those few runs.

@KidBoruto I do have the 3rd tier. I'll have to check again. I know they said something about it not being available in all regions so it could just be that. Our internet is notoriously crappy down here.

Is streaming available in Australia? I don't think I saw that option. The third tier is basically pointless without it. The collection of classics you can download is abysmal atm. Second tier has a lot of cool stuff though.

They're leaving the subscription that they launched a couple of days ago in my region? Of course. Makes sense.

Btw, how absolutely anaemic is that 3rd tier of PS+? It's like Sony and Nintendo are in a competition to offer the least value for money subscription tier in games. I subbed because it was only $15 to upgrade for the rest of my regular subscription. I'm glad I didn't blow any more than that. The second tier is decent value though.

Yay....?

Not exactly sure what there is to be excited about tbh. 50hz PS1 games?

This series has jumped the shark. Too many of the questions are way too niche.

Idk what it is but pretty much nothing that was shown did anything for me. A bunch of horror games and a bunch of cgi trailers showing guns getting shot (my eyes glazed over during that COD trailer). Idk, maybe I'm just getting too old and jaded.

Also, who asked for another version of TLOU? I like the series. I don't need to play it again with slightly better graphics. It's about as necessary as a 3D remake of Flashback. Oh wait....

I hope that running around part in the trailer has something to do with a single player mode with a bit of substance and isn't just a MP hub or something. I've never really gotten into Street Fighter but I've always been interested. I think a decent sp would go along way in getting me to try it out.

Who would know a meta critic score off the top of their head? The Gundam one was cheap too.

Why on earth are they using pal games still? Did they learn nothing from the PS mini?

Oh nice. That was a really cool game in the early days of digital downloads.
