@Mikey856 @Smiffy01 I know that Smuglers Run was one of PS2 launch games. But mine were Tekken Tag Tournament, Zone of the Enders and Shadow of memories (anyboby remenbers that game? It was great).
But yeah, both Midnight Club LA and DriveClub were gems of racing games back in the day.
I actualy have DriveClub installed on my PS4 and PS5(only because I got a 2Tb SSD). And yes, the weather effects still impress to this day. Fun fact, CD Projeckt Red made The Witcher 3 weather effects based on DriveClub.
I also have to mention how crazy it is that you can play retro games like Daytona USA and Fighting Vipers on a modern Sega game like the Yakuza franchise? Kinda strange, but very cool.
And as for the deviation from the topic of the thread, well, it happens 😜
Cheers and all the best

@Smiffy01 @Mikey856 Hey there friends,
I never played Smuglers Run, Blur or Split Second, but the MotorStorm series?
All of them. One of my favourite Evolution Studios franchise alongside DriveClub. Those games were so much fun.
Midnight Club was also very enjoyable.
Such a shame Evolution Studios no loger exits.
Sony needs to get some new talent to revive those franchises.
And many others wich are dormant. Maybe one day.
Cheers

Hi there fellow gamers.
Sony Playstation..... If you please..... Just give us Bloodborne Remaster/Remake and Bloodborne 2.
And while you are making those, how about Demon´s Souls 2?
Oh and I´m very much excited for Team Ninja Rise of the Ronin.
Yep, I want all of those, please and thank you. I guy can dream.
Cheers and happy gaming everyone

Hi there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll will be mostly playing Starfield on my Series X and Street Fighter 6 on my PS5, since I´ll be leaving town for a week.
Wich means I´ll be all over my Switch and Zelda Tears of the Kingdom.
And once I return it will be MORTAL KOMBAT 1 (Cue the techno music MK theme).
Still need to check Sea of Stars and Baldurs Gate 3.
What a time to be a gamer. It´s almost to much. Almost.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to everyone

@Terra_Custodes
"No other game ever gave me the emotional responses that these did, I genuinely cared about the characters to the point I felt emotionally shattered after finishing the second game."
My friend, that is exactely the reason why I hold this game in such a high regard.
That and the amazing visuals, animations, motion capture and voice acting and last, but not least, the fantastic gameplay that is top notch in my opinion.
Cheers

@ErrantRob Hi there friend
Absolutely agree. There are so many great games to play on different systems it´s kinda insane.
Good thing I´ve been able to make all my gaming purchases either with store discounts or pay 2 bring 3 deals.
And the year is not even over yet...... To many games and so little time.
Cheers and have a good one

@rusty82 @Terra_Custodes Hey friends.
The Last of Us Part 2 is indeed one of the best games I´ve played for sure.
I actualy prefer part 2 over Part 1, personaly, but both are excelent games and I really hope ND will make a Part 3 to wrap things up.
Cheers and all the best

@playstation1995 @Zuljaras Hi there friends.
Just want to say, great taste in games. That´s it.
Cheers and enjoy you gaming weekend

Hi there fellow gamers,
After finishing Final Fantasy XVI on PS5, I´ve been on a Xbox Series X craze and have played and finished a bunch of games available on Gamepass and some that I´ve purchased on sale.
And as of this weekend I´m still very much enjoying one of my favourite racing games of all time, Forza Horizon 5.
Other than that, I´ll be playing Street Fighter 6 on my PS5 and more Zelda Tears of the Kingdom on my Switch.
All that while I´m eagerly anticipating for Starfield to be available on Gamepass September 6th. Just a few more days.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend for us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
This was one of the trailers I was very excited to see and not only the art style looks good (even though it needs some polishing), but we got to hear some of the characters and think I herad my boy Ryo/Mr Karate and maybe even Yuri..... Was was it Hotaru?
Anyway, really looking forward to see more of this game.
Still can´t belive a sequel to Garou, one of my played Dreamcast games and one of the best SNK games to date is actually real.
Amazing times to be a fighting game fan.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers. Guilty Gear Strive is still my most played fighting game on my PS5. Heck I even play the game on my Series X because of Game Pass.
It is true that Street Fighter 6 has taken the spotlight and it deserves, it is an amazing fighting game. And there are quite a few FGs coming around like MK1, Tekken8 and GBFVR wich I played the open beta and really enjoyed it.
But I am quite optimistic for GGS Season 3.
Not only I hope they improve some characters, like my main Chipp, but also dlc characters like Slayer, Jam and maybe some new or guest characters, wich would be a first.
This years EVO is going to be very interesting.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming to us all

@Zuljaras To me as well.
It was the Castlevania franchise that made me fall in love with MetroidVania type games. Been playing many ever since.
I still remember playing Metal Gear Solid on my PSone (another amazing franchise by the way) and when I heard Psycho Mantis, not only saying that I enjoy rpgs, but even sayin that I enjoy SOTK!!!!
I was in complete shock when it happened.
The memory card reading trick was just another genious idea from Kojima-san. No wonder I love MGS so much.
Konami used to be great though.... Oh well....
Cheers and have a good one

@Zuljaras Hi there friend.
Had to give you a like and a shout.
Absolutly love SOTK as one of the BEST games ever made and that awesome physical copy is making me quite jealous 😜
Enjoy it well my friend.
Cheers and kudos to you

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about Final Fantasy XVI on PS5.
I only have like 12 hours and it´s already an absolute blast to play.
It just might be my personal GOTY.
Such an amazing year for videogames. There is just not enough time during the day to play them all.
Cheers everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@DETfaninATL yeah, I´m down for some fun co-op shooting.
I have played Mortal Shell when it first came out on PC and then on my Series X when it came on Gamepass.
I did like both the Shell and Harden mechanics.
It is kinda short though.
But the dlc improved the game´s replayability for sure.
Still undecided if I´m getting this game on PC or PS5, but I´m definitely getting it.
Cheers and happy gaming

@DETfaninATL Hi there friend.
Have to agree with you. The first Remnant was such a pleseant surprise, that I played it four times on my PC, three of them in co-op with the latest dlc included.
Had a lot of fun with it both solo play and with friends.
And just like my man @playstation1995 mentioned, this game and Ni-Oh are two of the best souls-like, challenging games out there.
So many great games this year, it´s kinda insane.
Cheers and happy gaming to us all

@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah, absolutely.
We could do some Ken mirror matches and also try some other characters as well.
Today is my day off so I´ll home in the afternoon playin SF6 and then will watch Summer Game Fest.
Hit me up when you can.
Cheers

@Kidfunkadelic83 Hi there friend.
I´m also a Ken main player and I have Luke as my secondary.
Still trying different characters like Dee Jay and Marisa though.
And just like you and @Justaperson mentioned, I have also encountered many Modern players and they Drive Impact and anti-air you like it´s nothing.
Oh and I finally fought a Dhalsim player and he was as nuts and unpredictable as I thought he was going to be.
And how obnoxius JP comand grab and gound attacks are?
But still, I´m having a lot of fun playing a good SF game.....
Cause it´s been awhile.
Cheers and happy gaming

Hi there fellow gamers.
This weekend is all about STREET FIGHTER 6, both World Tour mode and Online matches.
See you guys there.
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all

@astro911 Hi friend. So now your speaking my languange.
Those two are my kind of games.
They always Run is a game that completely caught me by surprise by how good it is. Great atmosphere also.
Same thing with Dex, even though Dex is more narrative driven, wich is good. kinda like Deus Ex, wich I´m also a fan of.
I´m a sucker for metroidVania style games as well as sci-fi and Cyberpunk style.
Played both on PC and absolutely recommend them both.
As for Death Stranding, just play it when you feel like it.
Cheers mate

@Th3solution Hey there friend.
Jedi Survivor is exactly what a sequel should be like..... Minus the performance issues.
I´m playing on Jedi Grand Master so it is pretty difficult in some battles.
Like, I have no idea how am I going to defeat two Rancors and two Ogdo Bogdo from two different Tears.....
But yeah, the gameplay is very good, love the mobility and the different lightsaber stances you get.
The new map could be better, but you can fast travel now.
Oh, and the Confused Jedi mind trick is a must when you face multiple opponents.
I think I´m close to the end now.
Don´t actualy want it to end though.....
Cheers and have a good one

@astro911 Hey there friend.
That is pretty much the game in a nutshell.
The hole idea is to increase your social ranking and getting new upgrades, such as vehicles, weapons and armour.
I for one got very addicted to carry goods all around, getting a high score, getting more materials and build a bunch of things to help improve the community.
That was also a big thing, everyone would create and build stuff to help other Porters.
One of the best uses of integrated online in a singleplayer game.
That being said, the gamellop might not be for everyone.
Hope it eventualy clicks with you. At least for the story, wich is absolutely bonkers..... It is a Kojima game after all 😜
Cheers and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
STREET FIGHTER 6 OPEN BETA....... That´s it for the weekend 😉
Cheers and happy gaming weekend to us all

@lolwhatno Hey there friend
Thanks for the words.
Haven´t been around much, but I´m still watching the new stuff in gaming.
Kinda busy with work and family, the usual.
Can´t stop playing Jedi Survivor and Zelda TOTK.
These games are so addicting. Always something else to explore and discover. I just love games like these.
Hope everything is going welll with you to.
Cheers and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers.
What a year for fighting games it´s turning out to be.
With Street Fighter 6 on June, Mortal Kombat 1 on September and Tekken 8 on the horizon.
Now for a proper gameplay trailer...... Maybe on the Playstation showcase next week orr the Xbox showcase next month or even the Summer Game Fest perhaps??? Hopefuly in one of these three events.
Can´t wait to see more.
Cheers, and happy gaming folks

Hi there fellow gamers.
Not only is "That Man" finally playable, but it looks fun, crazy and very dangerous. As he should be. And he looks great visualy of course.
He is the only character I´m interested in season 2.
Hopefuly, season 3 will be more engaging and interesting characters.
Cheers and happy gaming folks

Hi there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing more of the great (even with tech issues) Jedi Survivor on my PS5. I love how much improved it is from Fallen Order.
I´ll also be playing more Forza Horizon 5 on my Series X. That game is just fun.
Oh, and a little game called The Legend of Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom on my Switch. As soon as I started playing, I had the almost exact feeling and tought in my head, that this is going to be a really good game that will last me for months, if not years, just like it was with Breath Of The Wild.
It´s games like the ones that I mention that makes me so glad to be a gamer. I love this medium so much.
Cheers, stay safe and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
Played and Platinum Jedi Fallen Order on my PS5 and I´m currently playing and enjoying Jedi Survivor on my PS5 as well with the intention to get the Platinum .
To bad there are some performance issues, especially in the more open areas of the game. Games should be way more optimized at launch. Still going to play it though.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers, been a while;
This weekend I´ll be playing Jedi Survivor on my PS5.
Loving it so far even though there are some performance issues in the more open areas of the game.
And I´ll also be playing the KOFXV open cross play beta and Forza Horizon 5 on my Series X.
It´s been great coming back to FH5, doing some exploration and some races. And as for KOFXV I´m just hoping they can finally fix the matchmaking problems on all platforms.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
I´m a huge Resident Evil fan ever since RE2 on PSone, so....
Yes, I´m currently playing Resident Evil 4 Remake on my PS5.
And yes, I played the original multiple times. 8 times to be exact.
Four on my Gamecube, two on my PS2 and Two more times on my Nintendo Wii, wich was my personal favourite version of the game. Using the Wiimote to point and shoot the Ganados in the head was so much fun back in the day.
As for the Remake..... It´s everything I hoped for. I´m playing on Hardcore and I´m having a blast.
One of the best games ever made, just got better. Love to see it.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming to us all

@Kidfunkadelic83 Hi there friend.
"i liked the nod to the animated movie with the neck/back breaker move."
I thought the exact same as I was watching the trailer.
Man, Capcom is nailing pretty much everything with this game.
It feels like the good old Capcom days when they seem to care.
As a Street Fighter fan since SF2 WW on the Amiga PC
(yeah, I´m old lol), I can´t wait for SF6 and see what this new blood can do to revitalise this beloved franchise.
Cheers, stay safe and have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers;
After finishing Halo Infinte´s campaign, and really enjoyed it, I was still craving some FPS action and decided to finally play DOOM Eternal and it is as fun as the previous one.
But then I remember this weekend is the Guilty Gear Strive cross play beta, wich means is GGS weekend on my Series X!
I´m having a blast playing with one of my mains Ky Kiske.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming weekend to us all

@ErrantRob Hi there friend.
I played the original Alan Wake Xbox 360 version back in the day and I was hoping this version had slightly better controls and not just a visual upgrade, but it is still very much the action narrative driven game I remember.
I also really want to try both Evil West and Chained Echoes.
There´s just to many games to play and not so much time 😜
Cheers, stay safe and all the best

@Gamer83 @TraCuz- @GorosBat Hi there friends;
In my case, there were two things that made me not play the game as much as I thought I would and still haven´t finisehd yet:

• First, Elden Ring came out in the same month and I got completely addicted to it having put more than 220 hours by exploring and helping other players beat Bosses;
• Second, for some reason the game didn´t click for me as fast as Zero Dawn did. Don´t get me wrong, HFW is fantastic and an improvement in many different ways.
  I have more than 56 hours already and some of the story missions have been pretty great.
  Maybe I just wasn´t in the proper mood to play a game like this.
  Hopefully, the game will eventually "grab me" just like HZD did back in the day. Because again, the game is very good.
  Cheers, stay safe and y´all have a good one

Hi there fellow gamers;
Having finished and Platinum Jedi Fallen Order, this weekend
I´ll be playing Alan Wake Remastered as well as some Guilty Gear Strive and DnF Duel on my PS5 and continue my first playtrough of the fantastic Outer Worlds as well as some racing and driving around in Forza Horizon 5 on my Series X.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

@3Above @JudgeDredd Hey guys and thanks for the tip.
I keep forgeting that SE is making demos available for people to try them out.
And since I´m still playing Triangle Strategy on my Switch,
I haven´t pick it up yet.
Will try the demos soon.
Cheers and Happy New Year mates

@3Above Hi there friend and congrats on getting your PS5.
Welcome to the Club.
Quick question: Is Diofeld any good? I was kinda curious about it, but there are so many games and so much time.
Cheers and happy gaming

@JudgeDredd Hey there friend and Happy birthday!
Having made 38 myself this month it feels kinda weird, since I don´t feel that old..... Wich is a very good thing 😜
May we continue to be able to enjoy this great hobby of ours for more years to come.
Cheers and all the best

Hi there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be continuing my Platinum playtrough of Jedi Fallen Order and some matches of DnF Duel as well as Guilty Gear Strive on my PS5 and continue playing The Fantastic Outer Worlds as well as the looker that is Forza Horizon 5 on my Series X.
May next year prove to be an amazing year for videogames.
Cheers, stay safe, stay warm and Happy New Gaming Year for us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
"You scored 16 out of 20. 14-20: PlayStation Encyclopedia"
That was pretty good I think.
That Ragnarok japanese comercial completely trough me out 🤣
These quizzes are great. Keep on keeping on @Pushsquare.
Cheers, stay safe and warm everyone and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
In this Christmas weekend I´ll be playing Jedi Fallen Order and DnF Duel on my PS5 and continue my Outer Worlds playtrough on my Series X.
JFO PC save file got corrupted months ago, so now I´m finishing and Platinum it on PS5.
DnF Duel got a nice meaty patch and I can´t wait to see what my Ghostblade can do now.
And Outer Worlds is just pure relaxing role playing fun.
Cheers, Happy gaming weekend and Merry Christmas to us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
This weekend I´ll be playing some Guilty Gear Strive online on my PS5, continue my Bayonetta playtrough on my Switch and be all over The Outer Worlds on my Xbox Series X as I´m having a pure blast with it.
I was going to play Halo Infinite, but I was very curious to try this game and I´m super glad I did.
Been a while since I´ve played a western rpg that felt this engaging and imersive.
Love the dialogue options like Persuade and Lie, the sci-fi setting wich is one of my favourites, the wacky characters and even the gunplay, wich could be a little better tough.
If Starfield is any similar to this, then it´s going to be a banger.
Cheers, stay safe folks and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
This weekend I´ll be playing and finishing a really good game called Death´s Door, contiue playing Prodeus and maybe I´ll begin playing Life is Strange True Collors on my Series X.
On my PS5 I´ll be playing the demos of Forspoken and Season a Letter to the Future.
Finally on my Switch I´m either going to continue my Triangle Strategy playtrough or play the first Bayonetta game.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
This weekend I´ll be playing Record of Lodoss War-Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth, Lake and a bit more of Prodeus on my Xbox Series X and continue my jorney in Horizon Forbidden West on my PS5. Might just finish RoLW on sunday though.
I have also been dusting off my Vita and my 3DS playing Jak 2 and Dragon Ball Fusions on each system. Just to make sure they still work. And they do.
Chhers, stay safe and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers,
The Universe just might give me another cool gift if I can play this second closed beta of SF6.
It literaly begins on my Bday.
Hopefuly I can get it and confirm for myself all the hype that I´m having with this game.
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers
Well I´m gonna have to buy this game now.
People say Yakuza is a serious crime drama and it is.
The Cabaret Club is the real Yakuza 0 story. It has, comedy, drama, action and a cool twist in the end.
Joking asside, never in my life as a gamer would I thought that I would be so adicted to a mini game about running and managing a Cabaret Club, hiring "Star" Hostesses and chosing their dresses and accessories. And the songs are super catchy.
And even though I started doing for the ultimate Majima combat style, I got so invested in it that I kinda for got about the main game story 😜
Yakuza 0 is a master class game that has THE best mini games, a great story, memorable characters and one amazing music soundtrack to boot.
In the words of Kazuma Kiryu: "That´s Rad!"
Cheers, stay safe good people and happy gaming to us all

Hi there fellow gamers;
Having finished Gears 5 and still suprised by the choice you have to make close to the end (can´t wait to see what The Coalition does with the next Gears game), I´ll be playing Prodeus and Ghost Song on my Series X and God of War Ragnarok on my PS5.
Prodeus is such a fun retro FPS and Ghost Song is just metroidvania game and I love it.
As for GoW Ragnarok...... That game is incredible in every way.
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming weekend to us all

Hi there fellow gamers
Can´t wait to play this one.
Haven´t been this much excited for a FF game in years.
Loving the setting, the art style and the combat.
And there is also FF Rebirth as well.
Sillent Hill yesterday, FFXVI today, with God of War Ragnarok ia a few weeks and Callisto Protocol in a few months.....
What a great time to be a gamer
Cheers, stay safe everyone and happy gaming to us all

@playstation1995 @Flaming_Kaiser Hi there friends.
Can you guys tell me how come Sony has som many great gems from the PSone era and beyond, like Syphon Filter, Alundra, Parasite Eve, Metal Gear Solid, Legend of Dragoon, Dark Chronicles and so on and what does Sony does with them?
Absolutely nothing. I really don´t get it. Maybe with these new aquisitions we might get some of these great games make a comeback, by remake or reboot if need be.
The world of gaming will be better with these titles again.
One can only hope and dream.
Cheers, stay safe and Word Up Son!

@feral1975 @Shepherd_Tallon @Martijn87 Hi there friends.
Man what a drive down to memory lane that name is for me.
Alundra was my personal hidden gem on PSone back in the day. One of my top favourite games of all time.
It literaly felt like a Zelda game, with the gameplay mechanics, art style and those damn puzzles that sometimes seemed impossible to solve. Still remember beating the game and feel this awesome feeling of acomplisment, the same that I felt after I completed Light Crusader on Sega Mega Drive(Genesis).
Then I played Alundra 2....... Wich I don´t like to talk about 😜
Cheers, stay safe and all the best
