I’m wondering if Codies are gonna give us quality over quantity - a cracking a rally sim, but not every country from the FIA Rally Championship will be represented 🤔

They announce this steep increase just as Xbox/Microsoft are about to release their biggest exclusive in ages…great timing as always Sony 🙄

@KaijuKaiser glad it’s not true! 👍

It’s ready for release, but you still can’t play it for another 7 weeks 😉

I read somewhere that the “next-gen” versions are locked behind the gold edition versions? Please say it ain’t so 🙄 and are we really still calling PS5/XSX next-gen, nearly 3 years after release?!?

It’s a FromSoftware game, so I know straight away it will be too difficult for me 😂

FYI there’s also a 2 hour trial on PS+ premium

Who are the 2% saying it’s “a fair price”?!?! 😂

13 year old game still only 30fps 😂

If FromSoftware did this with their games I might actually finish one 😂

@KaijuKaiser I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the Xbox delay is less to do with Series S “technical issues” and more to do with not wanting to go head-to-head with Starfield.

Maybe people are just checking too see if they really are charging $50 for it, and are then flabbergasted when they find out it’s true 😂

I still haven’t ever played The Order 1886. Surprised it hasn’t been a PS+ game yet.

I still have the Xbox 360 disc, so can play it through BC on my Series X. Needless to say, I voted “no chance” in the poll!

£50 for this port is disgusting, meanwhile RDR2 fans are still waiting for a 60fps patch. Read the room Rockstar ffs.

Mostly playing Remnant 2 and Pikmin 4, though the last few days I’ve also been doing some races on the excellent Driveclub. The graphics still hold up really well, it’s just a shame it’s only 30fps, but after a few races you get used to it.

Still no option to start a new game? I’m a lapsed player, and haven’t touched it in a few years. I’d rather start a fresh game than carry on where I last left off.

@ErrantRob it may be worth you going into the “world settings” and re rolling the campaign. Apparently you will lose your current progress in that world, but still keep all of your skills, traits, resources, perks etc. The game will then give you a brand new world, hopefully different to the one you’ve started in. Do a Google search for “remnant 2 what does re roll campaign do” and look into it. It may be worth doing if you’re struggling in your current world. Also, make sure you look everywhere - every nook and cranny - as you can often find loot, especially rings which often provide some good buffs. Also upgrade your guns/melee weapon whenever you can (back at the ward 13 hub, which you can return to from any of those Red checkpoints).

@ErrantRob my game started in Losomn, which I really enjoyed (apart from the final boss!). I didn’t even realise people could start off in different worlds 😱 I’ve just started the next world, which for me is Labyrinth. I’ve been playing solo, using handler archetype. This is useful for solo play as the dog can not only help you fight but also revive you (using one of your dragon hearts).

Remnant 2, though I’m currently stuck on the Nightweaver boss (playing solo). Will keep trying. Started Pikmin 4 yesterday which I’m enjoying. I think I’m gonna give Diablo 4 a rest for a while as I’m starting to feel burnt out on it, which is bad timing considering the first season only recently started!
Update: just defeated The Nightweaver! 🙂

“Goes gold” (a term referring to the physical version), the irony being most people will be playing it digitally via PS+ extra or GamePass 😂

Re the debate about less than half of people claim their monthly games; I always “add to library”, but don’t necessarily download them. Even if I already have the physical version of a game, I always ATL the digital version just in case. I wish Xbox would add the ATL option instead of forcing you to download the game(s) to claim them.

Dreams…about bloody time! I can finally see what all the fuss is/was about. I’m not very creative though, so will only be “playing” other peoples’ creations.

Maybe put the first Overpass on PS+ extra in Aug/Sep to stimulate interest? 🤔

I’m enjoying Diablo 4, but I’m only on act 4 as I’ve been mixing up main quest stuff with side quests and open world exploring. Doesn’t look like I’ll be starting season 1 at launch 😳

This looks completely nuts 🤪 a 3 hour trial is pretty generous though, so will give it a go

Diablo 4 was on sale almost the entirety of June, whereas FF16 released late into the month. I don’t know why I’m defending FF16 as I’m not even into the FF games 😂 loving Diablo 4 though!

I played The Ascent on Xbox but am up for another play through on Playstation. Dysmantle is well worth checking out. Will give World War Z a go. Still waiting for Disco elysium on either PS+ extra or GamePass 🙄

I used this free trial on my PS5 last year, and ended up keeping it after the trial ended. Some great shows on there that are well worth checking out. Highlights for me are Severance, Bad sisters, Silo, Blackbird, and The after party.

Have just bought Evil West in the sale, hoping to start that over the weekend. Still playing Diablo 4, Army of ruin, and Zelda TOTK.

Sony/PlayStation already have lots of exclusive IPs. You can’t have ‘em all.

As someone who’s never really been into FF games, Stephen’s “second opinion” is really what struck a chord with me. Like Stephen, I had played FF7 remake but also never finished it. I’m not saying I’m now buying FF16 at launch, but it’s definitely on my radar. Will watch some review videos before deciding.

I pretty much got my theme park building fix from Planet Coaster, which was good. I had no reason to play this, even less so now going by the score.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they put the base game on PS+ extra before Phantom Liberty drops, to tempt people into buying the expansion.

I’ve been buying Codemasters’ F1 games on day of release for years, but I just don’t think theres enough new stuff here to justify the £70 price tag.

10k years of play time since just last week?!?! That’s crazy 😱

Basketball doesn’t really interest me, and the other two I’d already played on GamePass. Saying that, with Diablo 4 and Zelda TOTK I’ve got enough to keep me busy for ages!

My PS+ sub (premium) is due for renewal in a few weeks, so this is perfect timing 🙂

Looks like all the time in early access, betas, server slam etc has paid off which is great news. I’m gonna be getting either the deluxe or ultimate edition cos I wanna be playing this ASAP!
Couple of quick questions…1) does it make use of the dualsense pad/adaptive triggers? 2) what is the install size?

Looking forward to this, though I have a feeling that despite it being an official WRC game it won’t have all the rallies. Hope I’m wrong.

It will happen, but not for another 18 months or so, by which time the PS5 will be 4 years old. If it means games being 4K/60fps with RT - all at the same time - then I’m in!

Well the price tag certainly put me off buying it. Unless it’s a major AAA release, like God of War Ragnarok, or a game that I know will give me many hours of enjoyment, like the forthcoming Diablo 4, I won’t pay £70 for a game.

Between this and Zelda ToTK my summer of gaming is sorted! 🙂

@Green-Bandit yeah I can’t wait! I’ve managed to avoid playing any of the betas as well.

It also helps that some versions of the game (deluxe & ultimate) release 4 days earlier which will stagger the server load. Hopefully by the time of the full release on June 6 they will be ready.

@Gamer_Guy thanks! Will check it out later tonight

Looks like they added another Story Of seasons game - along with Friends of mineral town there’s also Pioneers of Olive town plus expansion pass! Anyone know which is the better of these 2 games to play?

I’m not so sure it’s “hotly anticipated”. Yes, it has new track Las Vegas and Qatar, but not much else to justify its £70 price tag. Despite being a F1 fan I won’t be buying it at launch this year.

@tangyzesty thanks 👍 will give mineral town a go when it drops on PS+ extra this week.

@tangyzesty Have you played SoS friends of mineral town? Is it worth playing?
