Been waiting so long for Katamari to go from Switch to PS4. Here are some other games out this week too:
Poker Club (PS4/PS5) November 19 Serious Sam Collection (PS4) November 17 Bubble Bobble 4 Friends: The Baron is Back (PS4) November 17 Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (PS4) November 17 Bridge Constructor: The Walking Dead (PS4) November 19 Spacelords (PS5) November 19
As someone who writes news for a website it really bothers me when sites can't even be bothered to fact check something before putting up a story with false information. Looking at you as the latest one Eurogamer.
I saw a lot of concern over both this and Watch Dogs getting delayed just because there was no tweet that said "our game has gone gold." People need to realize that most games don't come out and say they went gold. Only a few each year do that. If Demons Souls had any chance of being delayed then Sony wouldn't have announced it as a launch title a little over a month before the console came out.
This is about the only bad score I've seen for this game. If you were looking forward to it I recommend you look at some of the others before you pass on it.
I played a little bit of this back when it came out but never finished it. I'll just make sure it's on my PS4 if I want to go back to it. I hope you can bring to light why some of the other games aren't backwards compatible. The one I'd really like to find out about is Shadow Complex Remastered.
As if there was any doubt. That's only coming from Xbox fanboys and most of these bigger gaming sites. The amount of false information I see places like IGN, Gamespot, Kinda Funny, etc reporting on is astounding.
What a horrible move. You can't even find some Vita games on the Vita store because they aren't listed for some reason. Getting the PS3 store to load is a nightmare and almost impossible. You don't see Microsoft removing their old games from their store. Pathetic move Sony.
To be blunt hell no. You won't even see any fruits from this purchase on Xbox until at least 2022. PS5 is getting 2 timed exclusive Bethesda games next year alongside the rest of their killer lineup. I can't tell you a single Series X exclusive coming this year or next that I'm getting except maybe Halo. Psychonauts 2 I'll get on PlayStation.
I was always going to own both regardless but Bethesda has never made any of my favorite games. I'll just play them on Game Pass in the future if they don't come to PlayStation.
Ummm am I missing something here as to why people are mad? It's a remaster. What other remasters carry your save over from the original game? I sure can't think of any. I don't remember people throwing a fit when Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur, Gears Ultimate, and on and on got remastered and didn't let you use your old save.
I'll pay the higher price for great games like God of War and Horizon. However, Sony putting games like Destruction All Stars at $70 is absurd. They haven't hardly shown anything from that game or Sackboy's big adventure though that one is $60. Just from what we know I'd say there is no way that Destruction game should be priced that high. I doubt it has much content but hey prove me wrong Sony.
I was actually the first to notice this last night when I reported on it. It was showing owned for me and then changed to me having to buy it again this morning. I said back when 505 Games gave that statement that it was BS and this just further proves it. What a ***** company.
@GKO900 I mean just because you might have been waiting for your competition to announce price doesn't mean they were going to come out the same day or the next and announce theirs. You'll likely get it within the next week. Be patient. You're still going to have 2 months before you can get it.
@GKO900 Because they can do both? As someone who bought a PSVR I'm glad Sony continues to support it and highlight games coming to it. Those developers need attention too. There is plenty of time to talk about the PS5.
@S1ayeR74 Dude chill the heck out. I heard people like you say the same thing Jan-May when Microsoft had revealed their console and Sony hadn't. Then Sony started dropping little bits like the Controller etc and grabbed more attention in a couple weeks than Microsoft grabbed in 6 months. All this doom talk is annoying.
Yeah when I got it and saw it was three separate files I was shocked. Like why would you do it that way? Life is Strange and Telltale games just had you download the other parts inside the game. What a bad choice.
It's really sad that it just went away like that. It's not even something that's hard to do. I did one for a site every week before for every platform and it took me less than an hour each time. The PS Blog team is just lazy.
If this was Niche Gamer this game would get a 10/10. Meanwhile they absolutely trashed TLOU2 for stupid reasons such as that Laura Bailey voiced a character that was 20 years younger than she is.
@jdv95 True but these Bethesda games aren't Todd Howard games. Todd is the big Xbox fan so I doubt Sony would ever get one of his games to be timed exclusive.
Going to need a better source than Xbox fanboy Jez Corden. That said I have zero doubt there will be more. Sony already got 2 Bethesda games and a Square Enix title. Microsoft just had like 20 timed exclusives in their show too even if most of them were indie games.
@pip_muzz Here's the thing: yes Sony does Timed exclusives but they aren't the one who's head said they don't believe in doing timed exclusives. That it isn't growth. Phil Spencer is such a hypocrite and frequently goes back on what he says.
@Makina Ugh it means timed exclusive. I really don't know how people don't understand this by now. Microsoft has used that term for years now. Just go back and look at all the games that had "Console Launch Exclusive" for them in the past and how they came to PS4 later on.
Sony easily. Almost everything at the Xbox event was CG trailers and likely years off. Halo looks outdated. Like those character models outside of Chief looked horrible. A bunch of "Console Launch Exclusives" that will come to PS5 later on too.
I like some of their games like Fable, Avowed, Everwild, etc but they had no gameplay for any of them. We won't be playing them until 2022 or later. Meanwhile we'll be playing Horizon 2, Ratchet, Demon's Souls, and more all within the next year most likely.
@thiz That game was doomed from the start. I played that technical test months ago and just thought who the heck is this game for? I feel bad for anyone who bought it to play multiplayer b/c it must be dead online.
This seemed quite far along. Probably explains why Ghost took almost the whole generation for them to make. I'm glad they didn't go with this though as this game looks very generic.
Here's the thing: we would all prefer games go up by $10 if it meant no more microtransactions. But reality is going to be that games will go up and games will continue to have them. No way NBA 2K, Madden, GTA, etc ever drop them. They make too much money of that stuff.
Exactly. People acting like prior games won't work aren't paying attention. Sony said the vast majority of the 4,000 games will work. That means games that are already out. This is just making sure that all new games will work too.
This tab has been there since March or April guys. This isn't new at all lol. You can go to the archives and see that.
For a site that apparently goes to the blog for news daily It's amazing to me that you didn't know it's been there. The same goes for all those people on Era who think it's new too. No one pays attention.
The sales have been made to be the same in the US and EU for awhile now. However some games only come out in certain regions per week so having them all in one blog is odd unless they will mention it in the post.
I disagree with Adam on this one. I love seeing the content sure but I always enjoyed watching people like Jack Tretton, Shu, Adam Boyes, and others on stage. I miss seeing that.

You played it from an external HDD? I thought you couldn't get improvements on PS4 games unless you played them on the PS5 internal?
Re: Round Up: Assassin's Creed Valhalla Reviews Sing Its Praises
It's got about the same average as both Origins and Odyssey do currently. So looks like another solid entry.

That's great time for Astro considering it's free. Very solid for Spider-Man as well since it was a smaller game than the first one.
