@Perturbator A live service is technically different from the online multiplayers.. No Mans Sky, Minecraft, Dreams are live service games, guess its how Sony define what live service is, theres several roads they could do down instead of the typical route.
Its on Mobile now? Kinda tempted to download it to my tablet, as it plain refuses to download the PS5 version to my console, just hangs in the download queue doing nothing
Im curious about how they tread this path from now, I have a feeling they are just going to double down on the dead-on-arrival multi player games and some random ps4 title. That said, im kinda hoping for DND: Dark Alliance to pop up on essential / extra some time
Im another one who really doesnt get the NTSC thing, we grew up with PAL versions in UK/Europe so meh... I'll prob upgrade to Extra, Ghosts of Tsu, Demons Souls, Stray when released, and loads of games I want to try just to see but would never buy like Spiderman/Miles Morales etc Does anyone know if you can stack the memberships? Like if I upgrade to extra, can you then buy another years worth? Bit of a shame if you can only renew at one point annually.
Kinda hope this is true! not really keen on the idea of removable bits and bobs in respect to how long the controller lasts without something breaking, but the integrated back paddles alone would make me interested in buying.
Actually have to agree with this review, Im not sure what 9/10 game the other reviews were playing but it certainly wasn't this! Bought it, played it, felt ripped off by it, and sold it on after I finished.
Its just so clunky, and tedious, even though its quite short, I was just wishing it was over already from about half way through. If you're interested wait till its sub 25ish of your local monies.
Well the comments section didnt dissapoint! Love it or hate it (im in the rather like it side) D2 is a pretty great game these days, but ive been playing since all the way back in D1. Ive built up a nice little UK clan to play with so Its a crying shame that its such a rubbish experience for new or lapsed players to get into.
The current team they have seem to understand the games needs etc and they have mastered the art of GaaS model so its easy to see why Sony wants their help. D2 is the only live service game I play unless No Mans Sky counts? but its mainly sp games and cool little indies / AAs I play. Both types of games can co-exist quite happily.
Trying to buy the currently discounted ps4 version of this on the Uk store in their latest sale, but for some reason it doesnt appear on the console search, but does through the app, so hesitant to buy through the app incase it doesnt download on the console.. a bit strange!
@itsfoz I mean we're 2.5 years into the PS5 now and theres literally a handful of PS5 only games, yes world events etc etc But we wont be seeing anything like this on a PS5 or even what it can even achieve until PS4 games are stopped being made and that doesnt look like happening anytime soon unfortunately.
@Uncharted2007 eh? RE 7 is the most RE feeling game since the early trilogy! That compact claustrophobic location with the grim Hills Have Eyes family and its traps were just * chefs kiss * 8 on the otherhand is just a big glossy but very well done supernatural romp, not particularily scary but quite intense at some points, creeping through the castle while being hunted down, felt very Alien Isolationy at times.
I mean Outriders isnt really a live service game at all... Sure it has online elements like finding people to play with if you need it, but thats it? Its absolutely nothing like Destiny 2, where the actual game ebbs and flows and purposely changes with ongoing storylines etc every 3 month season. Anyways its no surprise it didnt break even, its a fairly average looter shooter. I paid £14 for it and it felt appropriate for what it was.
Eh.. Blaspehmous is well worth the money on its own! And im pretty sure this very website rather enjoyed, so a bit of an odd article! Also Soul Calibur VI is a very decent fighter game
Every day Im moving closer and closer to selling my PS5 and getting a PC instead, outside of Returnal none of their 1st party games have interested me this far and stuff like this is just so consumer unfriendly and pretty shocking.
I do believe some people were stacking ridiculously, but thats on Sony. They should perhaps have allowed stacking an extra year of instead of as many as you want as a compromise. But also their communications department needs an overhaul or a kick up the butt cos it really is bottom of the barrel this PS5 gen.
wait...so I can just grab a couple of months of PS Now to take me up to the Uk launch of the new system in June and I'll have Premium for another 2 years since my + is up in Apr 2024?
Never touched a GTA game before..but im tempted by this for that price and I dont know why... maybe the memes or maybe callmekevin and his mental laugh out loud live streams of GTA online
@PenguinL I bought Elden Ring yesterday having never played a Souls Game in my life, and ive been playing it all day on my day off! Im just wandering, exploring, practising and getting more confident with how things work before headlining for the bosses etc and im having an absolute blast with it
All of these things could have been easily official PS Blog articles. Felt like a 20 min waste really, Only thing that was of interest was Returnal, but I wont be replaying due to co-op but great news for new players or people who havent finished.
I got invited to this yesterday but haven't used it yet, does this beta affect making and creating parties with ur friends who are still on PS4, don't want to install incase it does
Planet Coaster is a very good game and more than worthy of a spot in your libraries, shames its been tainted by the poor perception of the other 2 games in the Plus lineup
Nope this looks generic as anything, sorry! It would be amazing if there was PS Kart racer, failing that can we just remaster South Park Rally instead and slap an exclusive to PS sticker on it and job done!
GYNOUG! Oh man, I LOVED this so much back in the day, never thought I'd see it turning up on a PS5! Gonna have to download this, but does anyone know if you can "turn off" the bars at the sides to have the pic fill the Screen, like in Sega Classics?
As another person who plays way more Indie and AA games than the big blockbusters im glad to hear this. Theres a tonne of super talented devs and creative games out there that dont get enough attention or support.
