@Impossibilium Deku Deals is fantastic, and if you're someone like me who has multiple consoles, all the information is in one place. No need for multiple wishlists. Plus it shows the sales history, so you can see how often the game goes on sale or if you're actually getting a good deal
A bit hyperbolic there. I play most games months, or even years after release, and the existence of spoilers has never negatively impacted my experience
This update actually pushed me to cancel my ps+ entirely today. I was already close since I already have gamepass and don't have enough time to properly make use of both subscriptions, but Sony clearly doesn't care about making this worthwhile for users.
@Stevemalkpus I think you're probably overestimating how much the casuals who only buy EA FC, CoD etc. actually know about their system. Wouldn't be surprised if a large percentage are not even aware it's available on ps+
This is such a small, unnecessary change, that is now going to be used in countless examples across the internet of how games are going "woke", "sweet baby" etc etc.
It sounds cool, but I have so much difficulty going to back to a game for DLC many months later. My skills and knowledge of the game have evaporated, but the DLC will expect endgame level skill.
I think Jason Schreier has already chimed in on this that something dead space related was being worked on at some point, but it wasn't a dead space 2 remake
@nessisonett Cost of living is vastly different in Japan. When I visited Tokyo, I was astonished at how cheap it was to do certain things like eating out at a restaurant. Close to 50% less than what I would pay at home.
I'll admit, I naively thought that Embracer would be good for the industry when they started buying up some of these studios. Turns out they represent everything wrong in the business world.
ah excellent, one more opportunity to hold off on playing AC Valhalla because of how darn long I hear it is, until it inevitably leaves the service again.
I'm fully on board with remakes IF they're actually needed. There are so, so many games from the ps1 and ps2 eras that would greatly benefit from a remake. Yet, we keep getting word of ps3 and even ps4! remakes (Until Dawn). It's hard not to feel like they're just going for the lowest effort cash grabs.
@Shad361 Not sure why that's relevant. State of Plays never have big first party reveals. Anyone expecting that was setting themselves up for disappointment
so many remakes of relatively modern games. There are tons of actually older, dated games that would hugely benefit from a remake, but of course that would require more effort
This is just sickening. If any normal product were to drop in price by 90%, you would think they would be losing money on it, or losing any margin at least. Microtransactions are a complete scam
it's just kind of sad that after 8+ years, this is what we're getting from Rocksteady, a mediocre live service. Assuming it doesn't end up killing the studio, when's the next possibility of getting something good from them, another 5+ years likely?
I haven't played this yet, but was planning to. However, I absolutely do not care for roguelites/likes. To clarify, is this a separate mode or area within the game? Or is the whole game a roguelite?
Well, I guess Push Square and Pure Xbox readers have something in common. The first party exclusive is the winner no matter what. At least Spider-Man is a more reasonable choice than Starfield...
A victim of releasing in a stacked 2023. Had it released in the last couple of years, I have no doubt it would be getting far more recognition during awards season.
"Perhaps taking some inspiration from Persona 5 Strikers" My memory must be failing me, because I don't remember any turn-based combat at all in Strikers
@Olmaz That's kind of a tough one. Should journalists pretend that the information is not out there and widespread already? I don't think it's such an easy answer.
must be tough for a site like push square to have to ignore the information coming out of this hack. There are some VERY newsworthy revelations in there. Some of it I really wish Sony would just be more open about and share publically anyway, regarding sales numbers etc.
@Shinnok789 yeah this is actually disappointing to me, because it has actual postgame story content, which I want, but in a roguelite mode, which I have no desire to play.
@dskatter It may sound silly, but when you lose a benefit, of any kind, it hurts company morale. Not so much because of the benefits themselves, but because it leads to the fear of "what's next?"
I guess this is a good option for some, but to me it makes leveling feel completely pointless. One of the most satisfying things in an RPG is to go back to an early area with all your endgame godlike powers and just obliterate everything.
Not that I like the price increase, but it's kind of funny to see everyone expecting the service to improve in some way because of it. When the price of a banana goes up at the grocery store, do you march to the front and demand to know how this banana will be better than the one you bought last week?

Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 9 Reveal and Release Imminent, Out in January
@Enriesto
That is quite likely, in which case the title should have been something like "Resident Evil 9 Reveal Imminent, To Be Released in January"
Re: Rumour: Resident Evil 9 Reveal and Release Imminent, Out in January
January 2025 release is kind of stretching the meaning of the word imminent lol

Re: Latest Sony Patent Wants to Take the Grind Out of Games by Playing Them For You
I actually would have loved this in 13 Sentinels. Let the game play itself through the battles, leaving me with the parts that I actually care about.
Re: Tales of Kenzera: ZAU (PS5) - Heartfelt Metroidvania on the Simple Side
Worth noting that this is one of the worst reviews for the game so far. Most are more positive about it.

Re: Gorgeous Indie Game Animal Well Joins PS Plus Extra Day One on PS5
@KingDazzar
Glad you said it first haha. From the first time I saw this game, it looked kind of ugly to me.
Re: Talking Point: What's Your Favourite PS5 Game of 2024 So Far?
Turns out I've only actually played one game from 2024 so far, Persona 3 Reload. Does it count if I played it on gamepass?
Re: Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Also a Day One PS Plus Extra Game, Out 23rd April
@Golem25
sounds like things that are pretty irrelevant to the content of this article, so I can understand why the comments were removed
Re: Tales of Kenzera: ZAU Also a Day One PS Plus Extra Game, Out 23rd April
I'm so curious about all these deleted, controversial comments on what should be a pretty straightforward article with good news for subscribers.
Re: Sony Beta Testing Intriguing New Feature in PS App on Mobile
Hopefully this will get slightly more consistent support from devs than those Activity Cards. Does anyone even remember that those exist?
Re: The Elder Scrolls Celebrates 30th Anniversary, Gives a Small Update on TES 6
After Starfield, I don't know if I even trust Bethesda to make a good follow-up to Skyrim at this point.

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Becomes the Second Highest-Rated Final Fantasy Game of All Time

no, Crystal Chronicles has quite a bit lower score. Chronicles is the ps1 compilation of FFIV and Chrono Trigger

Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?
@Shad361
Not sure why that's relevant. State of Plays never have big first party reveals. Anyone expecting that was setting themselves up for disappointment
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?
@KundaliniRising333
They literally shadowdropped a new, unannounced Silent Hill. Not to mention a new Sonic and new Metro
Re: Poll: How Would You Rate the Latest State of Play Showcase?
@KundaliniRising333
Ah good, I was worried I was seeing far too much positivity being spread around here. Thank you for your service
Re: Learn How to Survive Pacific Drive with Developer-Led Gameplay on PS5
@Grimwood yeah I feel the same, so many cool looking games end up getting crossed off my list when it turns out that they're a roguelike/lite.

Re: Beware! Marvel's Wolverine PS5 Assets Are Beginning to Appear Online
@UltimateOtaku91 weird how this is such a secret in videogames, when you see movie studios being far more open about roadmaps
Re: Major Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League Spoilers Break Containment
can't really relate to the concern about spoilers. I never play games day 1, so effectively every game is 100% "spoiled" by time I get to it.
Re: DLC Review: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla (PS5) - An Essential Epilogue for Fans of the Series
I really dislike roguelite/roguelikes unfortunatey, so I wish that there was no story content here, so that I could safely ignore it
Re: Lords of the Fallen Seasonal Content Starts Today, New Quests and Gear
Because what better way is there to get in the Christmas spirit than with Blood Vomit?
Re: 19 Amazing Games Join PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week
Surprised to see all the negative reactions. Personally, there are 6-7 games here from my wishlist, which is fantastic.
Re: Feature: Best PS5 Announcement at The Game Awards 2023, as Voted By You
Wow guess my tastes are quite different than most on this site. A roguelike add-on for God of War would be right at the bottom of my list
Re: As Dusk Falls Gets PS5, PS4 Ports, Out in March
Interesting that this is coming to playstation, considering it was originally published by Xbox Game Studios.
Re: God of War Ragnarok: Valhalla Set After Main Game as Kratos Faces His Past in a Personal Story
@Shinnok789 yeah this is actually disappointing to me, because it has actual postgame story content, which I want, but in a roguelite mode, which I have no desire to play.
Re: Soapbox: The Wait for GTA 6 on PS5 Will Be Excruciating
It was a nice movie trailer, but I don't really anticipate games until I see some gameplay, and that's going to be what? a year from now?

Re: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Reveals New Dynamic Difficulty Setting Where Enemy Levels Scale
