Nice to see a fellow ATCQ fan in the wild.

Hogwarts Legacy has a longer tail, sales-wise, than a Hungarian Horntail.

Nice to see that a Photo Mode is being added, I stopped playing this mid-way through the story so the Photo Mode might be a good incentive to return to the game.

Capturing Hogwarts Castle from various angles during the day and night and in different weather conditions will be quite interesting.

This article just reminded me that I've had No Man's Sky in my backlog since September 2020. I should definitely get around to playing it soon, at least before the current year ends.

So much for that "tremendous response" that Ubisoft mentioned a few weeks ago.

This drops just as my post-nut clarity just kicked in...

Persona 3 Reload Joins PS Plus...

This can't be happening?!

...Premium Game Trials Catalogue...

Oh, I almost renewed my PS Plus before reading the complete headline.

@HeeHo

I think there's far more teams and more divisions in college football compared to the NFL, so that's probably the reason they're separate releases (also this being EA, money is the main reason).

I'm looking forward to collecting more hats. I'll definitely replay the first game as well just to give some love (and life) to my PS Vita.

Take a gander here Yves Guillemot, this is probably a AAAA game.

@Mortal

With a surname like that (Booty), he should never be taken seriously...ever. (Exception being him working as part of the Sea of Thieves development team or Skull and Bones)

This was always the inevitable result of Microsoft's shopping spree in scooping up publishers and developers in order to boost their short-term profits to appease their greedy shareholders.

Yes, shareholders are entitled to a return on their investment, but at the same time they also need to be realistic and take a long-term view on sustainable growth.

IMO, there's nothing sustainable about Microsoft's recent acquisitions. It was a smoke-screen to hide their under-performing gaming division and now the chickens are coming home to roost, so to speak.

Microsoft should have rather gone the more painful (and less expensive) route of developing and improving their in-house development teams with light acquisitions added to the mix.

It really sucks that hardworking, dedicated and passionate game developers have to suffer due to the greed and short-sightedness of out of touch executives.

I've always thought that, on the whole, these gaming subscription services have resulted in the dilution of games.

They have their place in highlighting games from Indie developers that would otherwise struggle in the marketplace (best example I can think of is Rocket League).

With such a glut of content on GP and PS+, games sort of lose their appeal IMO and become disposable or forgettable.

Also, time is a big factor for any gamer. I can't find the time and energy to play and complete the games that I've purchased, so there's no way I'll even think about subscribing to PS+ or EA Play.

There seems to be a focus on quantity over quality with these services, and I don't think that's sustainable for the gaming industry.

Well, I would suggest that my fellow gamers git gud.

Seriously though, is this feature popular? With YouTube, I can't really see something like this ever taking off.

Not that PlayStation gamers missed out on this, but wasn't Redfall originally slated to be released on the PS4 and/or PS5 and then it was cancelled when Microsoft acquired Bethesda?

The only Drake for me is Nathan Drake.

I'll be honest, even if AW2 had been released in physical format (as it should have been IMO), I wouldn't have purchased it right away or even within a year of its release (I literally have no disposable income at the moment).

I just hope Remedy (and Epic Games) realise the importance of physical format and consider releasing AW2 physically in the near future.

I played it on the PS4 back in 2017. It was an awful experience and I quickly shelved it. It pales in comparison to Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas.

It's quite baffling to think it's been surging in popularity recently, but it must be correlated with the Amazon TV series.

Anyone else have fond memories of Top Spin 3 on the PS3 and wish that they patched in Trophy support for it back in the day?

I still remember absolutely dreading facing any serves by Andy Roddick in Top Spin 3. The guy was an ace machine in that game.

I won't be getting Top Spin 5/2K5, but I hope for those of you that do, you'll enjoy it in the same way that I enjoyed Top Spin 2, 3 and 4 back in the day.

Whatever happened to the Smash Court Tennis series?

This could be a good idea for a mod for Stardew Valley. I'm just not sold by the art direction and the gameplay being shown.

Loved the first game on my PS Vita (remember that one?). I'm definitely getting this somewhere down the line.

Really glad to see that Steam Powered Giraffe is back to provide the game's music, their music was excellent in the first game.

@Balie3000

I think the same amount of extremists existed back then, many of them just didn't have the platforms that we have today to express their "views".

I have some fond memories of playing the original on PC.

I had such a potato of a PC back then (end of 2003), I actually had to disable the cutscenes to play the game, and from Taris onwards, I had disable grass as well, that's how bad my PC was.

I still loved the game, and I'm really hoping this remake sees the light of day in the future.

Wow, GTA V Online has become so massive, it even spawned its own subscription service.

I'm still patiently waiting for Rockstar to patch RDR 2 to run at 60 FPS on the PS5.

This definitely has caught my interest.

I played MechWarrior 2: Mercenaries as a young boy during the mid to late 90s (sorry for making anyone feel old reading this) and I've always had a soft spot for the series ever since.

I love the way Harada phrased his request to the Tekken community to resemble something you'd find in an exam for some social science course at university.

Please remember to use the Harvard Referencing style in your answer.

Pleasure dude, here's the link to the Hazelight Games' Twitter post:

@Max_the_German

I think there was a post by the developer recently mentioning that It Takes Two surpassed 16 million copies sold.

@pirlega

I can see why there's a lot of comparisons to the main character in Bayonetta (I think her name is Bayonetta?). Eve's face just isn't in proportion to the rest of her body, so it's a bit weird.

I played through around 30 minutes of the demo, completing the first section.

The game looks stunning, and I like the combat mechanics. I'm not really familiar with these type of games, so I would be quite interested in discovering games that have similar combat mechanics as Stellar Blade

I don't really see the controversy regarding Eve's portrayal. She looks like a really athletic (albeit with some unrealistic proportions) woman.

I'm in two minds regarding the art direction. The enemies I faced in the first section grossed me out quite a bit; I felt like I was facing off against some sort of malignant demonic fetuses.

Also, there's was a lot of brown and grey in the environment for the first section, which reminded me of the PS3 era.

I don't think I'll be interested in purchasing the full game, but at least I have a better understanding of the game going forward.

As Reggie Fils-Aime once said "My body, my body is ready"

At this rate, The Winds of Winter* will be released before this remake with all the drama, ambiguity and vagueness surrounding its development.

• Just joking, it's never going to be released.

@TheDudeElDuderino

I hope to be an asset in the spread of democracy in the outer reaches of the galaxy when I deploy in around 2 years, until then, keep fighting the good fight comrade!

From what I can remember playing Top Spin 3 and 4 back in the days, I think I preferred the gameplay of 3, as I felt 4 was a bit more simplistic.

Still a bit surreal seeing a new entry to franchise, and that it's being served up so soon.

Whenever I need to remind myself how out of touch I am with people younger than me, I just read an article like this and then return to playing Stardew Valley pretending I understood what I just read.

If I had friends and free time, I'd definitely dive into this. Really enjoyed the first game.

Glad to see that it's exceeding expectations.

Appreciate the review, definitely adding this to my wishlist.

Great to see this Indie game doing well. I'm definitely picking it up in the future.

The last Assassin's Creed game I played was Assassin's Creed 3 way back in 2014 (sorry for making anyone feel old with this comment).

Up until that game, I played every console game in the series, and I was disappointed with the third game (and also just burnt out on the series as a whole) that I have never shown any interest in any of the subsequent games.

I don't think this will change for me with the latest one on the horizon.

I wonder what the gaming industry will look like at the end of this year.

The layoffs and retrenchments just continue to pile up, and we're not even past the first quarter of the year yet.

One of the few games I've purchased in recent memory where I paid full price, and didn't regret it at all.

Eric Barone/ConcernedApe is a saint!

For me, I'd love to have access to the Fable, Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon series.

I really enjoyed DriveClub, and I get the feeling that I would really enjoy Forza Horizon as a result.

I'd also like to make an actual (and personal) comparison between Gran Turismo and Forza Motorsport.

I grew up playing some of Peter Molyneux's games, such as Black & White and Populous: The Beginning, so it would be cool to play through Fable as well.

Yes Atlus, and Vince McMahon is a pure and chaste soul who strives for and promotes women's rights.

@ShadowyElite

The ANC are similar to Israel, any legitimate criticism aimed at them is turned into racist, colonial and anti-black material. Nobody plays the Race Card better than the ANC and their supporters.

I too have the wrong skin colour (through no fault of my own). I've realised very early in life that this so-called government has no interest in my success or growth so it's best to do things on my own and never expect anything from the state.

To put it into perspective for PushSquare Users, South Africa first started experiencing loadshedding in 2007 (due to corruption, failure to maintain electrical infrastructure and the slow demise of the national electricity provider).

17 years later, those of us still trapped here are still experiencing loadshedding. Think about that...they had 17 years to address a problem (a complex problem to be fair to them) yet they still failed at addressing it.

@Toilet_Goat

You're one of the lucky ones that managed to escape this sinking ship of a country.

I can only hope I can say the same in a few more years.

I remember way back then R1 200 could net you the Ultimate/Collector's edition of a game, and now, you're lucky to pay that on a standard vanilla release.

I'm replaying Prey (2017) on the PS5, focusing on a Typhon-only ability run. My first playthrough was a Human-only abilities, and I think using Typhon abilities makes the game a lot more fun.

I just started Infinifactory on PC. It's the current Free Game on the Epic Game Store. I've had it for ages on my PSN Wishlist, but it never went on sale (last on sale in 2018 IIRC). I'm really grateful that it was free, and that it can actually run on my budget laptop.

They should have called the first season Fever Dream to celebrate the fact that the game has actually launched and is a real thing that actually exists in our world.

Will January 2024 be remembered as Black/Red January by the gaming media due to the massive amounts of layoffs and retrenchments that have occurred?

There's still 5 days left of this brutal month...

This looks like it has real potential to be a great racing game, I'll definitely keep an eye on it in the future.

@Sakai

Another Newcastle United fan here, will never forgive what the FCB did to the club during his tenure, and I'll never support any of his businesses while I'm still drawing breath (I do live outside the UK, so the chances of entering any of his tat stores is extremely slim, but it's not about the money, it's about sending a message)
