@trestan Forspoken used the Luminous engine which was actually the games problem from the start

PS5 Pro will come with more RAM and probably a tweaked NVME internal drive, unless TSMC who make the chips have done some new die shrinks then that's it and probably a redesign and smaller maybe.

Can't see this game having issues with RAM allocation though it more and engine issue maybe

These will be cool strategems for sure but I hope they are limited to fuel consumption or ammo count or something. It's cool to plan your uses and call in what's right for the moment to have these all way through a mission would make it boring or only 1 can be called in only and once it's destroyed thats it.

Wow Sony billions and this is all they can come up with to fill the massive hole from the delay of Final Shape. As for management I don't think anyone went from the upper chamber at Bungie it was all the lower hard working Devs that got the chop the upper idiots made sure to save themselves more than anything.

I still think Bungie will be swallowed up by Sony I generally think now it's been the plan of the top brass in one way or another. Think of the payout they will get because I'm sure it will be a retirement thing Buy Bungie fail swallow them up management get told we don't need you now heres a chunk of cash to walk away.

Bungie is no more and have been folded into other studios to fill the losses of the others lately. Then again Bungie for me died after Halo 3 I don't think Destiny 2 really did what Halo trilogy did for me

2 games it was around 800 that actually got deleted and it's by the same guy who keeps changing the titles over and over, he sort of screwed himself when he changed the name of the Devs/pub to actual VALVE and they shut them all down.

But they've had another guy who's been doing it since 2021 and he still does it, so I won't be suprise if they change the way a game can be submitted

@get2sammyb Then maybe they should be looked into further before a buy out since they've basically destroyed so many UK studios over the years.

Test Drive Unlimited on 360 also has a solo mode though we're it would just switch off players being in your world so why can't they do the same. I remember because I played it to death on 360 it was a brilliant game just driving around and collecting the cars

Test Drive 2 on Steam was taken off years ago but if you got it you can still download it which I've done in the past it. It's an awful game compared to what 1 was but even though you can't buy it on steam when you install you still have to activate the game in order to play to Atari servers and it still works on that bit. I don't think online was working though I always switch it off but TDU2 handling and looks oh man it was like a PS2 game upscaled

@KundaliniRising333 Finally someone who also noticed that as well no one even brought it up in the trialer or anywhere else it was reported

Now I'm stuck do I play it on PS5 through plus or support the Devs and buy it on PC where I know it will look even better because I am a PS5/PCMR

@Th3solution Why it should have been on Xbox because it's a great game and people move on far to quick in some situations. Having it on Xbox as well would have still kept the player count big and should it fall for a while new content comes in a it peaks across the board

What do you expect the fact their teasing another faction is coming back from the first game which I haven't played, probably will come at the bottom of the space map. Which will lead to new weapons and hopefully new strategems I love the fact that 1 guy is charged of live bits and was apparently getting up in the middle of the night.

With an idea that popped into his head and it activated an invasion from the bugs side out of nowhere, the community defended it within half a day lol.

Jim Ryan went there a 5 to 6 weeks before and took a tour with the staff and then they get closed down has evil is that, to go in talk to them all have a laugh etc knowing they are shutting down and they have no clue.

UK gaming for Sony has always been brutal Media Molecule will be next and that's a shame because they come with some creative wonderful games for the imagination

Just when people wanted a Tenchu style AC game that's all and they just don't listen, thank god I have Ghosts of T to play soon once I've pulled my self away from the Ezio Trilogy I'm replaying again and Helldivers 2

Disc 3 will the whole summon of Knight of Round because they battle with you and it's 13 knights including King Arthur only thing I can think of it it's either random Knight or KA only maybe.

I'm still happy to wait for the whole experience as one I really can I have a lovely backlog to play from Steam to PS4 to PS5 to get me through

Morning

It's really bad that Insomniac had layoffs considering they have carried the Playstation brand for a while now. At this rate since expensive is not an option and the cancelled games cut backs on staff from everyone in the industry.

You might think they may start with bringing back some old IPs aka remasters just to get something out and I doubt costs would be anywhere near what they cancelled. EA canceling that Star Wars game with Respawn when they could have been making a Titanfall 3 but they abandoned that IP.

Still think a game crash is coming just like the 80s maybe worse maybe not

They won't announced the most played games because it's most likely PS4 titles and this information would drop share prices and shareholders would begin to question as to why they helped fund for the new console if no one is buying software directly for it. But the other reason is the COVID pandemic it caused such a disaster in everything that game development was effected some games probably canned.

Costs have sprialled out of control and development time as increased also the shortage of consoles are launch, price is still too high for anyone. And to some lack of PS5 games why buy one when you can continue to play PS4 games of that very console.

And it's this they can't can the PS4 because of the 2:1 units in the household so they have to produce for both.

Xbox was effected it has been really since the Xbox One personally even into the XSX it still hasn't recovered. They messed up big time coming from Xbox 360 they really did and it will continue to bite them in the backside for a few more years, why they bought out Acti/Blizz really to add more IPs. Now they have seen the industry change dramatically and will slowly release it's game to a wider audience because the change shows it.

I finally got in last night but I tried at 5pm and was in the training area but I left it there because I've been waiting for 2 days to get in. Finally played at 7pm and managed to get 4 games in until a new patch came out so patched the game and I got the server max capacity message and I was like oh FFS. But I got back in they really need to figure out how to kick people I know I said I did it but it's only once really wanted to play it.

But if I can't get in I go play another game, what I did get to play it was a absolutely fantastic fun it's MERCENARIES and Starship troopers all in one it's a dream come true. Especially when you start doing air strikes then I really do feel I've gone back to one of the best PS2 games ever released. I hope they add more strikes etc in the future just wait too you get a level with a strategem modifier it changes your strats and you think your calling in support but it could be a orbital strike instead it's a wth moment

Day 2 finally got on tonight and managed to get into 4 games with a friend and 2 of his mates I don't have a mic yet. But it bugged out and skipped the tutorial mission as I was in the middle of it and a patch came out so I updated it. But when it came back on I was in my ship ready to start my first mission. It's an awesome game very challenging even for medium difficulty when your weapons are not very good.

Definitely needs an auto kick feature though

Kevin Hart clearly bought his role how the hell can he be Roland it doesn't make any sense Terry Crews wouldn't either this is going to flop big time

Got it this evening only seen the screen telling me servers are full, also been reading that players are not logging out to keep their place. Hopefully ArrowHead patch in a away from keyboard type rule to kick people out or something to get rid of static players to free up slots

Just release Skies of Arcadia remaster for all platforms and that will sell loads it really would

I actually think Sony now are wondering why did we buy Bungie for that over inflated price based on fake predictions from Bungie. When this game proves you can do it if you stick to your guns and launch it together on PC at the same time. But I think it should have also been on Xbox because it deserves a massive player base it's that dam good even with randoms I've been having so much fun

2026 then Titanfall 3 will be announced it's in production at this point but I wonder if that's dead in the water and they'll just add Titans to Apex at this point. Shame TF2 online is rather broken after nearly 2 years of DDOS attacks by some idiots who got caught out for trying to bribe the company

I see it this way Helldivers 2 should be Xbox because it's got some years for it if it keeps doing what it's doing, and with Microsoft having some of the best servers out their and you can't deny they don't. I reckon they would help ArrowHead with the capacity issue and work with everyone to keep it going and be more stable and not just for Xbox and PC because they could work with Sony as well.

It's a fantastic game one that would boost players and the game in general, the industry does need to grow and cross play isn't were it should be especially for live service games like HD2.

Microsoft mothballed Gold members to GP to boost it's numbers because of it's stagnation, why it's doing what it's doing. It's telling investors GP is the way to go but they clearly saw the stall and asked why so they've now decided to release mid level games on PS. And if that doesn't work or or bring in new players then it will kill of exclusives but by then I reckon they would consider pulling out of hardware at that point

Nothing for me this month and it's my 2nd month subbed I haven't been for about 4 years, got a PS5 for Christmas but I've been happy looking at the PS4 games list it's got quite a lot of game I didn't buy years ago I'm playing. Ghost of T is my next game though and I can't believe I actually found one of my all time PSP games Key of Heaven on it as well

At this point someone needs to buy the IPs

Timespitters
Deux Ex
Soul Reaver

Off them asap because they will be gone forever if not

@PsBoxSwitchOwner I feel the same love service games should be across all platforms, but as for online games it should be open to all as well too help boost it's player count and keep it alive

I also felt Phil didn't answer the question on game preservation more, he was looking to the others quite a lot for them to maybe step in at most points.

As for the play anyway and backwards compatibility which he talked and mentioned the latter briefly. I wish they would add more 360 games to the xcloud heck even my past purchases from my 360 days would be so cool

Got D3 at launch played for a month and then 2 years later tried it again with Reaper of Souls a
Far better game once that came out and I was hooked but I'm not interested in D4 at all

Picking it up Sunday because it's sold out in loads of shops got it from Argos for £30 can't wait to play it hopefully it's fixed and I don't exp much of these issues I'm hyped to play it

It will release end of April because it will boost Take Twos financial results for 2025-26 fiscal and will send share points soaring

Release Skies of Arcadia remaster for god's sake that will make you some money back

I'll be buying it on PC because that way I can cross play and have more people to play with incase no one is on PS5 at the time just expands my friends lists. But I'm also waiting for some patches first

@AndyKazama I doubt it because Embracer are on the verge of financial ruin they have been shutting down studios left right and centre. And unless they decide to sell the IP I can't see it coming back

Would prefer folders on the dash

And how come you can't change your theme or am I missing something.

Don't you mean Madden 17 or 18 no wait 19 maybe 20 because come it's the same game every year

The Junction system wasn't hard at all the only issue people had was if you got the best level of magic say Fire then Fira and Firaga you had to use it in a slot to boost up your stats. This ment if you used the magic your stats would drop because it mattered on how many of that junctioned magic you had, so if sort of stop you using it. But as you actually boosted your magic stat you could then use Fire instead for a while it wasn't that complicated just had tedious bits which you had to plan

But it's only thing I hated was DRAW having to use it if you found a new magic to get max for all 3 characters and it made the battle go on for ages

It started before MS took over anyway Vicarious Visions where mothballed into Blizzard after the scandles with them. They did the Remake of Crash Trilogy and I think Spyro as well but again still merged with Blizzard who also offloaded people.

But as stated the ones who benefit are the ones are the top and shareholders

Is this a PvP or PvE horde mode type game ? If it's the latter I may give it a try

Anything to keep the players huh

Why don't they have it goes live to the PS4/PS5 main menu like a icon that just loads up the YouTube page or something direct from the console

Burnout Revenge remastered please or Burnout Crash I missed that game on PS3 and I played the trial and loved ir

Loved TDU on Xbox 360 just driving around the island was rather relaxing, but TDU2 was a disaster especially on PC I have it on Steam before it was taken off and it still dials out the server for activating before it installs.

The performance is awful and it looks awful too

Embracer will be next it's only a matter of time to think those IPs if they are not sold to someone who will do something with them could be lost and one of them is my fave franchise Soul Reaver

Really wish they would remaster Skies of Arcadia

Clearly they'll do anything to keep people playing

I got a PS5 at Christmas the controller lasts about 5 hrs or less l bought a 2nd one and a official charging dock because of it and to play 2 player games but my PS3 pad to this day original battery lasts 6 hrs. PS4 batteries were rubbish as well

Rocket Knight Adventures is a hard game I remember buying it for my Mega Drive and oh man was it a challenge no games saves back then. I didn't know they did RKA2 until I found a copy in a video shop when I was on holiday with my parents, I got to for £20 used and again another hard game and also if you play on it easy you didn't get the true ending.

Lol a gane that's what I think 30 years old maybe and it had something like that based on difficulty lol

So where is all the PS1/2 games coming to streaming collection ??? The list is poor and yet they put it behind a pay wall least I can play my old PS2 wonders like SSX Tricky and Underground 2 on my PS2 I really am thinking of dropping down to mid tier as I don't really stream games on the PS5
