Hope you'll be able to buy them separately as I've never seen the appeal of Bayonetta!

That would be terrific! Played it back on the 360, surely one of my favourite platinum games and would happily buy the remaster.

I can't wait for zero loading times. Something I may be more exciting about than more powerful specs.

Haven't played the original yet as the apparent loading times put me off, but might give it a go on my new ps5 (if my backlog ever decreases).

Shadow of the Colossus 2? That would be quite something as the ps4 remake is one of my favourites of this generation.

@Netret0120 Bah humbug!

Does that mean we have to wait even longer for a new Ratchet and Clank?

-1 for using the word soccer there!

Hopefully Shenmue 3 shifted some digital copies as the physical sales were quite disastrous so far apparently.

They want to surprise Sony this time around by actually publishing some decent exclusives maybe? I very much doubt it.

Just ordered my copy at thegamecollection for 12 quid. Interesting to see what all the fuss is about!

I actually bought a ps plus subscription last week for the first time, and this is how they repay me?!

Titanfall 2 is alright though, especially for the 4 quid I originally paid for it.

@Barryburton97 Yep, and you can save points on the thegamecollection which makes them even cheaper.

Anyone familiar with this Monster Shop? Website looks a tad dodgy to me ("Black Friday deals are coming soon" Isn't that today?).

@Ridwaano That's turning into quite the starting line-up!

I might pick it up on day 1 if only to play some ps4 games with decreased loading times (I'm looking at you, XCOM2).

@get2sammyb Ah, I wasn't aware of that!

@hubertuss03 For some reason they mostly seem interested in VR though. Looks like I'm safe for now..

Finishing off Captain Toad (very quirky!) and Yakuza Zero (hilarious but overlong) before properly starting Shenmue 3.

Never felt the need for Psplus but 29 quid sounds rather good for 2 free games a month. If only you'd keep these after your subscription expires..

Very interested in Yakuza and Elden Ring!

So, how exactly is this news?

@Ryall Fair enough, I just wanted to point out that it's not 'just a handheld'

@Ryall If that's the case than the Switch is my first handheld that's never left its place underneath my telly.

@GamingFan4Lyf Hear hear! The pause game function on the Switch is one of the reasons I prefer it to my ps4 nowadays. I'm currently playing Metro Exodus on my ps4, but due to its excruciating loading times I often find myself booting up my Switch instead so I can jump right into the action (well, action, I'm playing Captain Toad at the moment;)).

Can't wait for my SSD ps5!

Not reading any of the hands-on info as I'm waiting on the postman to deliver it today after only 18 years of waiting. Psyched!!

@RogerRoger I've clearly interpreted your first comment a bit harsher than it was meant!

The only other console that did something similar in my experience was the NES, which was the only time in my life I've seen my father play a video game: Duck Hunt.

@RogerRoger That's a bit harsh to Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Metroid Prime 3 and The Twilight Princess, isn't it?

Where's GTA 5?! Fake News!

I thought the Banner Sage trilogy was terrific, one of my games of this generation for sure. Excellent writing and a proper 'grown up' game. XCOM2 was great too, but the excruciating loading times were preventing me from finishing it. I'm looking forward to playing it on my PS5 with zero loading times (hopefully).

I really disliked Horizon, but the one aspect I did admire were its graphics, so this sounds encouraging.

I completely forgot that EA had anything to do with Dead Space. First day purchase though!

I loved Code Veronica on my Dreamcast, but really disliked the voice for Claire in the remake of 2. Hmmm.

@Porco I'll just pretend I didn't read that

@kyleforrester87 I Agree, Capitalising Every Word In A Title Doesn't Make It Easier To Read Does It?

"it’s got a frantic real-time combat system similar to that you’d find in any modern hack-and-slash title"

That stung a bit. Ah well, can't be everyone's cup of tea I guess, as long as they leave FF6 alone.

@johncalmc I'm old too hence I don't want to stare too long at loading screens! Anyway, thanks for the info, I'm putting this on my Christmas list now

@BridgeToClarity I agree, some Katatonia during GTAV would have been terrific!

Regarding Cyberpunk, I finished The Witcher 3 several years ago, but only recently delved a bit into its expansions. Even though it's got good writing and a brilliant atmosphere, the gameplay itself is unbelievable clunky! Here's hoping they'll fix that with this game.

"if you bang it up onto the highest setting then combat is tougher than a Wetherspoons steak."

So basically it's indigestible and leaves you with a stomach ache and a pang of guilt afterwards?

Are the loading times any better than, say, Pillars of Eternity?

Doesn't hold a candle to Dark Souls in my book but the atmosphere sure was lovely.

No interest at all as I severely dislike subscriptions-based models.

Can anyone tell me why that bloke on the cover looks like he just smoked some illegal substances after downing 12 cans of Stella, after which he got told to point out his team and sponsor? A bit besides the point maybe, but it pops up everywhere and it looks very awkward to me.

Wow, that looks underwhelming! Other than the Medievil demo there's nothing of interest for me unfortunately.

@2Rebellious Pray tell, who or what is the leading authority deciding what a good game is then? That will save me a lot of bother in the future!

@Acquiescence Aye, she really looks quite interesting, is she in some sort of game mayhaps?

@Broosh I found the first Jak fantastic at the time, but replaying it now unfortunately turned out to be a tad disappointing. It still has a nostalgic appeal to me, but other 3d platformers from around at that time aged a bit more gracefully I'd say. Holding the third one off at the moment but I think you're right in saying that that was a bit better than 2.

@Broosh I thought the same thing, but then I've recently replayed the first two Jak and Daxters, and they were not all that great either. The second one especially was quite mediocre.

It's a long shot, but I was just thinking that it would be lovely to see a remaster of Ico being announced.

I've found the first one one of the most overrated games I've played this generation, along with Horizon Zero Dawn, so I'll pass. Hope it will be everything the fans would like it to be though!

Excellent, I like these Direct things. Here's hoping for a Dead Space remaster (one can hope I suppose!).

First EA, now Ubisoft. It's getting easier to keep my money in my pocket these last couple of weeks
