I've been hoping for DualSense controller sales, I have the standard one and Midnight Black and have been hoping to grab Starlight Blue for a while now. ShopTo also has DualSenses on sale for £47.85

@NeThZOR That seems to be the case with Bethesda games same happened to Deathloop after 2 months

@wiiware That opening theme is so beautiful, it can't leave my head. I'm really great to see Wild Arms 1 and 3 on the service, and only hope that means 2, 4 and 5 will follow

I've been struggling to stick to something on PS5 lately, I've played several PS4 games like Ys VIII, Ni no Kuni and Odin Sphere but not stuck with it and I got a week off so I want to be able to get into something while I have that time free. Maybe try make some progress in Returnal or pick up the Lost Judgment Season Pass on sale.

I love Astro Bot and want more merch of him so to see this is great, gonna have to get a pre order

Came to read the comments because I knew it would be full of people complaining about it being a live service game
Not exactly a fan of them but as long as I get my single player experiences which has always been done in my time with PlayStation I'm fine with them experimenting in other areas
Not every single game a company releases has to appeal to you, if Sony is making like 12 Fortnites and none of their other titles then that's where I start complaining but it's very clear we're getting those

Another feature that you ask yourself "why didn't Sony mention this with the reveal?"
I wasn't really all too bothered about this service when it was being rumored but it's looking to be like a really good service that Sony is actually putting effort into. I expected them to do a half baked job with it. But man they need to do something about their communication it is terrible

@UltimateOtaku91 Sony has been weird with Japan and a Japanese developer would definitely help them but I just don't see them purchasing one. That and I don't know how they would be with a Japanese developer considering they shut Japan Studio. I know we got Team Asobi in the end but that puts a lot of people and myself worried how they'd handle it. I don't think a Sony handheld would be the same unless it has quirky Japanese games, something Japan Studio did a lot of for them from LocoRoco to making their own Monster Hunter to make up for the lack of one. The best they can do is make sure they maintain good relations with Japanese third parties and get games the Switch can't handle to make it look appealing to Japanese gamers. I feel Sony will just do alright in Japan for now, they seem to be the second choice for them when they can't play a game like Elden Ring. But the day Xbox actually sells more consoles as a whole in Japan than PlayStation is the day I will be speechless.

Xbox outsold PlayStation once in Japan Sony is doomed!!!!!!!!
It's a shame to see PlayStation stray from Japan as while I play their first party games so many amazing Japanese games I've experienced on PlayStation and identity them with the system. PlayStation sales have been declining over there since the PS2 and PSP and once they moved to America it's been less of an area focus there. Sure they prefer handhelds but they could at least put effort into caring about Japan it is Sony's home land and they have an advantage there Microsoft does not

@The_Pixel_King I need to play Elden Ring myself more, I only played an hour and felt overwhelmed but it looks incredible. Just need to get confident about it as I found myself finding areas and then getting killed and feeling put off

Do people really think that Naughty Dog is investing all their resources in a remake for this and not working on a new IP lol
This is very likely a side project for some members of staff while Naughty Dog is in the work preparing for their next game
I don't really care for a remake nor think it's a necessity but as long as it's good, makes some improvements and isn't in the £70 range which is a bit much for it I can tolerate it existing

I'm surprised at how much offerings the PS4 and PS5 selection had, especially the fact Sony not only offered the Demon's Souls remake but the original game on PS3, giving people options to play both versions. I think it's a good start, we still need to see more games but I feel it will provide a good value for money we just need to see more of the classic titles because I felt that was the weakest of what we've seen so far

PS5 stock here in the UK was crazy last week, I saw sites have them almost every day

I love it when PlayStation Japan does these. But man we really need some PS news things are so dry right now

The Switch has some great exclusives like Xenoblade, SMT V, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Super Mario Odyssey, Metroid Dread, Kirby, The Forgotten Land and Triangle Strategy but I'm not into it nearly as much as previous Nintendo consoles. Still good to see Nintendo doing well after the Wii U which was a disaster, just hope they don't screw up the Switch successor like they did when going from Wii to Wii U.

@Apfelschteiner September is later than I'd like but they would also work. They just need to give people a reason to convince them to wait and get a PS5 than give up on stock shortages and decide to get an Xbox because a fair number of people are doing that.

As someone who loves their PS5 and main issue is the lack of next gen exclusive I believe 2022 should be the last year of cross gen before we start fully committing to next gen but at the same time we're still having issues preventing people from getting next gen consoles so it's a tough situation as you will have people like me wanting next gen experiences they bought the console for, and people that still can't get a PS5 who want to be able to play them on PS4 for now. It's a shame because the PS5 exclusives I've played are excellent which is why I want more of them sooner than later but the chip shortage is messing with a lot of plans.

@trev666 Spider-Man 2 is suppose to release in 2023 but other than that I can't think of anything else

I think we are due one this summer. Outside of God of War Ragnarok we know barely any of their plans. Not only do we need to see more of that game but Final Fantasy 16 news too. As well as some new announcements from Sony, what are their other teams working on? Heck it would be nice to see Spider-Man 2 gameplay. I do believe Sony needs a showcase that not only shows what they've got prepared for PS5 but to get us excited.

Hopefully Sony is able to get more of these out to people. The demand is there for the PS5, I know many people who are still struggling to get one or I've helped secure one after months of trying. If they can get more consoles out and start advertising more of their line up that'd be great. I'm really digging the PS5 so far but it's just lacking those next gen exclusives which is a shame because Astro's Playroom, Returnal and Ratchet and Clank are really good. I want 2023 to show promise for more next gen releases and where the console starts picking up with games like PS4 did.

No idea why Persona 5 is being removed but honestly I'd just suggest Royal as a Persona fan who has played both
Royal adds so many improvements that enhance the experience and the new story content is some of the best writing I've seen from Atlus in recent years

@PenguinLtd I had exactly the same issues with the game not to mention Aloy just saying "I don't have time world ending bye" to all her friends when they're happy to see her and being polite.

Finished Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna middle of the week which left me depressed not just because of the ending but that's me down with Xenoblade until July. Gonna play Triangle Strategy this weekend which I recently got.

I don't know if I'd trust Sony buying Square Enix, they seem to do some smaller releases now and then but nowhere near as consistent as the past and while SE has made some questionable decisions recently I think a lot of it is just them not knowing what to do and if they stick to their Japanese games they're be just fine and back away from NFTs
Like with Sony owning them would we get games such as Octopath, Bravely Default, Triangle Strategy and so on?
Tbh Sony gets most of their games and timed deals with them anyway and they sell well on their system so I don't know if it's worth the money for them to buy SE
If their gaming division was still in Japan I'd probably not be too worried but since moving to America I don't understand how they function and find their handling of Japanese games weird considering most PS fans seem to like them and that's what I think about when PlayStation comes to mind
I think I'd rather see Square Enix just stick to multi platform and Sony and Nintendo can keep getting good games for their platforms

I love the PS5 hardware but the lack of next gen only experiences is making things somewhat disappointing right now for me so I just want Sony to outline what games they've got in development and when they are coming. Soul Hackers 2, God of War Ragnarok and FF16 is all I've got this year and FF16 is the only next gen one which I'm not even 100% convinced will be out this year. I want to see some exciting IPs get sequels alongside newer titles from PlayStation Studios, hopefully some more smaller scale titles inbetween releases. Oh and their communication to improve it's ridiculous how bad they are at it this generation

Not ideal to hear as I'm craving next gen experiences for PS5 and this makes me fear cross gen will stick around longer than I would have liked

Gonna be swapping between Kirby and The Forgotten Land and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Torna this weekend.

Should really pick up the remaining Vita games I want this store has been unstable for so long

Here before the comment section loses it. Meh is how I'd sum up most Plus months right now. Hoping from June with the new Plus subscriber it gets better because we all just dread it now lol
And Sony need to find their leaker this is like the 8th time
It'd be funny if Sony just leaked June's line up a week early just to mess with them

It amazes me how terrible Sony has been at communication for this service how hard it is to give out simple info like this
Much as I like PlayStation it is hard right now to feel positive about them when they keep making a bad image of themselves with the most basic things

Finishing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 this weekend, on the final chapter and having my mind blown away by the twists that are slowly being revealed to me.

Another weekend, more Xenoblade 2. 55 hours in and still a long way to go.

After beating Xenoblade Chronicles DE last weekend, this weekend I'll be getting lost in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. Getting ready for Xenoblade Chronicles 3 by playing all the games.

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition. Been really getting into it. Trying to finish the games before Xenoblade Chronicles 3 comes out in September.

I assume a deal ended with SEGA or they're going to add Royal for some reason? Idk or people will say this means Persona 5 is coming to Switch
Also woah that's my birthday the game is being removed

I would have liked if Sony could have given some examples of classic games coming. I didn't expect them to list everything there but just some examples from each platform to at least give us some excitement and an idea of what we're getting.

Options for Now and Plus are pretty much what I expected. Just waiting to find out what the classic games are first.

I thought people would be more pleased with this line up... I couldn't have been more wrong. It's alright to me. I was planning to get Slay the Spire on Switch so this works out and Spongebob isn't a bad offering. Idk what the first game is but this seems way better than some of the previous months to me and people make it sound like the worst.

I think I'll wait for a sale. I didn't think this would be cheap but I expected £20 at max.

Knack 3 is coming, Xbox better watch out this will be the PS5's killer app

As usual I'm going into this with no expectations because the more people seem to hype stuff up the more disappointing it tends to be.

@Kidfunkadelic83 I still haven't made it to the first boss. I love the fast paced combat and atmosphere but man is it brutal.

@SolarSailor I played through Ghost of Tsushima in 2020 on PS4 and got the Platinum. Funny enough it's what I ended up playing again this weekend. I bought the Director's Cut and have been playing through again and plan to beat the main game before tackling the new DLC. It's one of my favorite games from Sony in recent years.

I'm more of a Vita guy but the PSP is also a nice little handheld that has some hidden gems such as LocoRoco, Patapon and Persona 1-3. I miss Sony handhelds but I don't think it'd be the same if they done one again.

Not sure what to play, I've been making slow progress in Gran Turismo 7, can't get into Horizon Forbidden West and waiting for Returnal to get co-op to play with a friend. Debating starting FF7R or Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut.

I think MLB The Show 22 would be a good Plus option for April. The game coming to Game Pass last year was very awkward for Sony and will be again so I feel like it being offered on Plus for the first month would help the situation and get some people to try it. Outside of that, I wouldn't mind smaller titles like some indies, those are the kind of games I'd love to see more on Plus. And 13 Sentinels has been mentioned in this thread, although I have it I wouldn't argue against that being on the service, more people should play it.

Waiting for the game to go on sale. Considering it's a Bethesda game that will probably be the case within the next few months.

@get2sammyb Plus definitely needs some improvements so that would we welcome, especially as a lot of us are at the point we dread getting to the last Wednesday of the month to see them announced. Speaking of Plus has there not been any leaks for April yet?

Got to love Bloomberg always leaking stuff and hyping it up. The Switch Pro nonsense from last year is still fresh in my mind. If this is real they need to just announce this, thr longer the higher the expectation and the more people will be disappointed. This isn't going to match up to Game Pass and anyone that thinks so is being foolish.

A lot of this shouldn't have happened but at least they are fixing things now. If you make enough noise Sony will reverse their decisions, the PS Store closure and Horizon Forbidden West's upgrade is proof of that. Now we just need them to scrap the game always requiring online, or at least have some of the game be accessible when the servers are offline.
