@RudeAnimat0r I think that's another Polish studio called Fools Theory developing the Witcher 1 remake for CD Projekt.

@playstation1995 Phantom blade zero looked amazing at some showcase a few months ago. I'd forgotten about that one.

It's not surprising Sony want to invest in more Chinese developers. There's massive potential sales in the country alone. Mix that with a story known around the world and it's going to be a hit. Good for them!

Just the overwatch question got me! Never played it. I had no idea!

@dark_knightmare2 if it's outplayed and regurgitated then doesn't that tell you not many people want this game. You're acting like it was game of the year 2015. It didn't set the world on fire then and it probably won't now. I don't think I'll ever defend a corporation. They don't care. They just want money.

I don't think you know how to have a discussion without chastising others. People have different views and opinions. We're allowed to comment on a comment board weather you agree or not.

For my 2 cents, I don't know why Sony thought to spend millions on a remake rather than a sequel or maybe spend that money on more, smaller games

As for the crickets on here; people don't live their lives on a website. We got lives of our own.

Who's even asking for this?

At the moment XIII is the only final fantasy game not playable on current systems. I've been working my way through the pixel remasters and I'm loving them. Nearly done with VI then I'll carry on with VII. I'd be more than happy for a remaster but I think this is a bit of a money waster for a remake. Remake XII first. No wait do VI please!

@J2theEzzo I'm 2 months clean of playstation plus and recovering well. I didn't use the service as it was intended. It really was a waste of money for me.

@ironcrow86 I'll bet! I got it on the ps5 so hopefully that'll ease the pain

I've just looked and Borderlands 3 is 90% off! £6.49 Bargain!

I played the first Borderlands and loved it. 2nd game came out and couldn't stand it! Keep thinking to try the 3rd game but it looks too live service for me. Is that the case? Is it more tailored to co-op? I don't like people and would rather be a loner

Another month I'm happy I don't subscribe anymore. I'm really not missing much

I loved the original games. I re-played one of them probably 10 years ago. I couldn't carry on. The controls were just awful. So remastered doesn't sound great. Remake! Remake! Remake!

Are there any remastered games where the controls and movement been improved. The GTA trilogy was terrible too.

@UltimateOtaku91 I'm not a big Nintendo player so that explains why I've not heard of many of these. I'll keep an eye out for these games, now. My lad is getting into some great RGPs now, too. Be nice to have a new game to experience together.

@Dragoon1994 Square Enix is a publisher. They sometimes go out of their owned developers for their IP. Like Team Ninja made final fantasy stranger of paradise, even though team ninja is an independent studio. Level 5 made DQ8 and 9.

@themightyant I was just having a look at their games post 2012. I'd not heard of any of them. I just thought it was me being distracted with kids and life. I'll check out Decapolice, though.

You're spot on with the praise for Level-5. Dark cloud, Dragon Quest VIII, Rouge Galaxy and possibly one of the best games ever: Ni No Kuni: the wrath of the white witch. All within ten years or so. Plus all the Layton games. I see myself picking this up. I don't have playstation plus but I don't mind paying for the games.

The comedian, Gianmarco Soresi has a routine about R. Kelly not technically being a pedo. He says that pedos are attracted to prepubescent children. People who are attracted to minors aged 15-18 are actually called Ephebophiles.
But the problem is when you try to explain this difference YOU SOUND LIKE A PEDO!

@glassmusic there's a few games I'm interested in but won't ever get to. For some of these I've watched a playthrough on YouTube while I do other things, like potter around in the garage, run on the treadmill etc. The last one I did was The Outer Wilds. The controls in that game were too annoying but I wanted to see what the fuss was about. It worked for me.

My first Dragon quest was VIII. The journey of the cursed king. Loved every second of it. I played it during the 2006 world cup on my new HDTV with picture-in-picture technology! Half the screen some random match, the other half grinding out some levels on DQ8. A beer in my hand living the dream! Anyway, I got so used to auto saves on the old, fat PS3 I drunkenly turned it off without saving. Hours of grinding metal Slimes lost. Good times

Really looking forward to this. I've played 8, 9 and 11. I should really get the other ones on the ds. 4, 5 and 6?

Anyway, I was really hoping for a final fantasy IX announcement from this direct. I'd take a HD-2D version like this remake of DQIII.

Playing the FF pixel collection has got me very nostalgic.

I thought it was a great showcase. Some really interesting games announced. If I could afford an Xbox I could be tempted to get one. Hopefully they can bring more people in. Having a healthy competitor is no bad thing. It can only be good for games.

"All of the content can be completed single player these days, although the balancing is generally pretty bad"

You gave me hope, then took it away!

I've had this game since the good ol' PS3 days. Online has always sounded tempting but I really don't like other people. I want the content but not the social. I should really look into what Red Dead Online is like playing alone.

But we've already got a George.

Okey dokey.
I need to write more apparently

I can't keep up with these codenames. Red, Hexe, Jade, Dave, Dozy, Beaky, Mitch and Tich

I've played 2 games on that list and one of them was remastered. I feel like I would've played a few more if not for Helldivers 2.

What a game. I adore it. This is from someone that hasn't played a multiplayer game since the original Modern Warfare 3. My friends, who rarely play games, even got in to it. We meet up on there for at least one game a night. I never thought I'd be this much in to a live service game.

I cancelled playstation plus after they put the price up. It finishes in May. I'm going to have to renew at the essential rate to carry on playing.

@Kidfunkadelic83 hopefully it's sorted for tonight's onslaught. We normally stick to termanids but with all this propaganda with the Automatons we wanted to get stuck in with them.

We couldn't get a stable game running last night at all. Such a bummer. Needed to serve a big dollop of democracy

The next 5 years will be a judge of his success or not. We're still getting the last CEOs green lit games. What will come from his tenure time will tell.

When Shawn Layden left he said games are taking too long to make and are getting too expensive. Maybe getting Jim on an interview in a few months away from Sony PR he'll tell us what he really thinks.

£40 is a ridiculous price for this. The cheapest I've seen it on PSN is £31, so £5 for a month of GTA+ is a steal. I'll have to do this after the Easter holiday.

It brings me great joy that someone will be watching me fumble around, trying to figure it out then stopping for 5 mins while I look at my phone for no reason whatsoever!

*****, I'm in the Lakes at a wedding that week. A week off away from my ps5 and a whole new land to explore. I don't need to go do I? I'm not the groom or best man. Would they actually miss me? I'm actually saving them money on food. Makes sense to stay home. No wife, no kids.

This is great to see.
Has anybody played it solo or with random people. What's it like? I got these two kids to deal with so gaming time is too random to play online. I'm a Billy-No-Mates. I stay away from online games in teams so I don't upset some random, potty mouth punk who gets the unfortunate position of being in the same team as me. Could I play alone or am I dreaming. I was 16 when Starship Troopers came out. All I could think was "this would be a great game" I even played a mode in command and conquer retribution where giant ants attacked your base. That was awesome.

One thing I really hope, but doubt will happen, is they come out next week and say X number of games will be coming to ps5 and the first will be out within the next few months. Let's not wait 2 or 3 years for games that are already a few years old. Right click: save as ps5 file. Easy

First off, there's not really that much. Didn't seem to scroll for long.

I've never owned an X Box so there's a few I would play. Never tried a Gears game or halo. Plus after playing skull and bones today and it being awful, I'd like to try out sea of thieves most of all

The demo put me off big time. But it's been calling to me. Glad I waited

@Tktofu I looked! Ouch! It would actually be cheaper to buy a real guitar and have a few lessons.

I'll stick to my air guitar/pots and pans drums.

The batteries in my rock band guitar and drums corroded years ago. I wonder how much they go for on eBay? I also have so many extra songs I've paid for in rock band. Would be great to fire it up.

I'm sure if you asked Bethesda if they wanted to be multiplatform they'd say "yes! Please, God, yes!" I'm also sure Marvel will look at the amount of ps5s sold compared to Xbox series X/S and want a bigger audience.

But, yeah it's so far away there's no real answer here

Here's a thought: are the selection of games purposely crap this month to get more people spending money on the black Friday deals. Its worked on me. I've added 3 games to the backlog and still spent less then £70

I cancelled my subscription the other week. It'll run out around May. I was thinking if the price was right on a black Friday deal I could be convinced to extend it but that's not the case. Full price for me.

Red dead redemption still £15 overpriced

Ouch! That's not an exciting list

@Korgon I totally agree. I would love an old style multiplayer that didn't want you to check in everyday. I hate multiplayer games normally, I hate people, but factions was a great experience. I want that again but with TLOU2's movements.

Since all this news of the game being in turmoil, I've thought it could be added to the Last of us part 3. They might even reuse the assets and areas from the multiplayer game to save some time in part 3s' development. Could part 3 be set in San Francisco?

All that extra subscription money being put to good use, I see. More proof that cancelling my subscription was the best move for me.

I still don't think it's worth £40. Once it dips below £20 I'll be there

I too was hoping for a "and it's available right now!" Moment. I need a reason to her back in to this game. After 15ish hours I just put the game down (for Elden ring) and never picked it back up. I wanted a bit of time to start and finish the game with the 2.0 refresh and then hopefully go in to the dlc.

I got Gotham Knights in the sale. Man, that game is pants. Really glad I didn't spend full price on it. Guess I should carry on with that till the 21st.
