If you're going to be spending this money, and don't have an OLED TV, get the TV instead, it will make a far bigger and instantly noticeable difference to your gaming.
The fact that 30 fps is STILL a thing on the "MoSt PoWeRfUl CoNsOlE eVeR" is just a nonsense, I thought the whole point of the Pro was to remove this option, at least thats how it comes across in the Marketing of it.
The internet is a pretty toxic and dangerous place esp for younger and vulnerable users, so some form of restrictions on Social Media / Internet access for 16 and unders isn't a terrible idea, but I'm not sure this is the right way to go about it.
"delivered with a great experience by mid-February and with great quality." Bookmark me, cos I have an ominous feeling that statement is going to come back and bite them on bum when it launches!
Oooft, what an ending to this whole story, not even a second chance to redeem themselves with another game. Flop games come and go all the time, but I dont think theres been anything quite like this, maybe since ET? Wonder if the episode of that Amazon series will go ahead or canned at the last minute.
Fairly obvious at this point its not a glitch, as you would think they would come out and say so if it was. The fact they haven't said a single thing about any of it, speaks volumes.
Like others said, AAA creativity is dead, buried and it aint coming back until the money men go and dev prices come down. You're literally paying £75 for the same old thing every time.
AAs and Indies is where all the creativity is, the games ive had most fun and spent most time with this year are Balatro, Vampire Survivors and Palworld, anytime ive dipped into AAA this year its just felt cold and soulless.
I dunno, I don't think going F2P will save it save it, sure there will be the initial spike of curiosity and people checking it out to see, but the issue for most people seemed to be the ugly character designs and not enough unique modes to play, if they could somehow fix them at the same time as going F2p, then it might find a niche audience it can expand from? Stranger things have happened!
Very much enjoyed the first even though I was garbage at it, but had lots of fun trying and being in the world, so good to see its success!
I would love for Sony to look at producing 1st Party AA games for release on PS5/PC, honestly that's where the money can be found, all this hundreds of millions of dollars and 6-7 years for a single beige game is unsustainable.
Sad to think that in the past 18 months I've literally only bought 2 AAA games, most of the games I've played in that time frame have been Indies and AA games on sale, and honestly, had much more fun with them than the AAAs. Pretty much the polar opposite of the PS4 gen for me.
Really is a shame they couldn't have had a small single player campaign in the game, would serve as nice little intro to the world / story etc would have at least got me to consider buying it, as it is, PVP only games aint my bag, so wish them luck, they gonna need it!
This looks like its needs "PS5 Pro Enhanced" sticker slapped on it, im not sure the base PS5 can cope with 50 games in 1 tbh * looks Forlornly at my 8k 120k box sticker *
The Deluxe Edition of Planet Coaster 2 includes The Planet Coaster 2: Vintage Funfair Ride Pack containing a whopping ten vintage rides, perfect for bestowing a classic theme and feel upon your theme parks:
The ‘Grand Carousel’ quintessential spinning platform ride The ‘Chair-O-Plane’ traditional suspended carousel The ‘Helter Skelter’ iconic amusement tower The ‘Monte Leone’ vintage family ride The ‘Hyperspin’ open-top Waltzer The ‘Buoyancy’ diving bell flat ride The ‘City Peninsula’ Wooden coaster The ‘Eddie Fun Mitchell Company’ Wooden Side-Friction side coaster The ‘Whitelake Amusement Shore’ Wooden Wild Mouse 2-seater wooden coaster The ‘Dart Kinetics’ Antique Powered Cars track ride Plus 'The Cube' exhilarating thrill ride The 'Outamax' Water Coaster The 'FD Vision' Powered Rotating Ride
Absolutely insane pricing, for the tiniest of differences. Add on the attachable disc drive for another £100 and thats £800 in the UK. At that price BUY A PC.
Taking 8 years to make a game only for it be kill switched after 14 days...would you ever want to make a game again? but perversely, the physicals are being Flogged for upwards of a £/$100 on ebay already.
The whole Concord fiasco thing is the very small tip of a very large Iceberg when it comes to Sony / Gaming Industry, like how is taking 5 - 7 years and spending hundreds of million dollars per AAA game anyway sustainable? You spend all that time research and dollars just to end up with a beige 8 - 12 hour cookie cutter sequel?
I feel like the AAA gaming industry is a few years away from completely collapsing on itself, and I dont know if thats a bad thing tbh No company should be spending hundreds of millions of dollars and creating 1 singular game, its just insane, perhaps maybe after Concords dust has been settled, it might force companies like Sony to re-assess how AAA games are made, most people just want a decent game to play with a good interesting story, you dont need to spend hundreds of millions to do that.
HOLY CRAP! I go out for 2 hours and come back to this, absolutely wild! Its the right thing to do, hopefully if there's a way forward it includes some single player campaign content, a character re-design etc but oooof! A hard lesson to learn for everyone involved and that includes Sony, but nobody should be cheering this, have a bit of humanity.
I mean what are they supposed to say? They're prob feeling a little bit dejected atm, anything they post in support will absolutely get dogpiled on within seconds, you might as well be silent until they know whats going to happen. Bad situation all round tbh.
@Olmaz Absolutely nobody is trying to be EdGy cos they are enjoying Vampire Survivors, it is such a weird take tbh its fine to not like the game, but what we should all be taking from this is, this simple little low pixel game has more fun, enjoyment and sheer depth than most AAA games released and it costs less than a Starbucks.
Feels glorious playing this on a PS5 and t'big telly! Sunk about 90 mins and didnt even realise, oops! The fact you can get the base game and all the DLC for a Tenner is a wild bargain!
It absolutely wont have a disc drive and anyone expecting it is fooling themselves, especially when they've got a expensive disc drive attachment to fleece us all with, KER-CHING! They are absolutely out to rob as much money off people as they possibly can this generation.
Playing games early as a pre-order incentive is a trend that needs to burn, but also 100 Ubi-Points is so LOL, its completely worthless, makes me almost respect the sheer big F U energy it has. Though if you're still spending £100 plus on day 1 UBI games in 2024...
Oh jeez, the update! This has got to be Sony's biggest commercial failure, ever? I'd love to know how many bottles of ketchup are hitting the walls behind the scenes
For the longest time, I had no real interest in this, but this week, am thinking of getting it! Combo of the Autumn nights creeping in and looking for a nice bit of story to play. Will check out a few reviews before deciding, plus its Ubi, so I have absolutely no doubt there'll be a few janky bits that need patching / missions not working
Out of curiosity, I watched one of the big D2 PVP players play this yesterday, and he pretty much said "its extremely polished, well presented, runs well and is fun to play BUT lacks originality and for a pvp game thats costs money to play, it needed to do more than offer what you can already get for free elsewhere" Seems like thats the general consensus across the board from people playing it.
I have zero interest in this game but let me say something positive about it, there's good talented developers working on it and I hope the people it appeals to enjoy it, but Sony got a mountain to climb with this one and I hope they are ready for it.

I mean, Microsoft have bought up half the gaming industry, why exactly do they need 1 Sony game so bad? Curious.

Its probably a glitch but also I wouldn't put it past Sony this generation to also remove it.
