Nope. I tried to force myself through the original but it just wasn't able to sustain my interest, so I'm giving this a pass.

@Constable_What It's been a while since I've watched some Kurosawa films too! It's as good a point as any to rewatch them now I suppose. My favourite would probably be either Rashomon or Ran.

Silly question probably, but I was wondering whether ps4 games which won't get an upgrade will still benefit from the ssd drive?

@Matroska Indeed, I'm a bit concerned that every Sony person is talking about all the new gadgets of the new controller, but no one has mentioned anything whatsoever (as far as I know) about battery life.

@3MonthBeef I see what you mean! Well, apart from R&C then.

I'm going to stick it where the sun doesn't shine!

Resident evil 8
Little Devil Inside
Demon's Souls

I was a bit disappointed in the Tokyo Ghostwire and Ratchet and Clank clips.

@HUMPERDOO Yep. Some stuttering here and there when things got intense and load times were a bit too long for my liking, but overall it was fine!

I've played it via PS Now and to be honest, I found the technical issues to be greatly exaggerated.

@xRetrox Same here, this was the highlight for me too.

This looked like one of the more interesting titles, but upon hearing the word roguelike my interest has vanished instantaneously.

If only The Medium would also come out for the PS5..

Although I've frankly had enough of remasters and remakes, I'd make an exception for a spruced-up version of the first Dead Space. The second one was too action-focused if I remember correctly, and I haven't even tried the microtransactioned third part.

A new Silent Hill and Ratchet and Clank game would go a long way in convincing me to get a PS5.

Would be great if you'd be able to pick an oldskool sitcom laughing track as well.

I'd rather have a new Onimusha or Maximo to be honest.

@Taylorzombie So just because it's old it needs a remake?

That would mean that current ps4 titles wouldn't be enhanced on the ps5, which is clearly bollocks. Right? Right?!

No remake needed for 4. Bring on a revitalised 8 please!

@gbanas92 Maybe every day is Opposite Day for Deacon

I've played a couple of hours of Metro Exodus, and although it looked beautiful and was quite enjoyable, I couldn't stomach the unending load times. I'll give it another go on a next-gen console though.

@gbanas92 @Riparcade2 Yeah, I uhh... so I'm gonna.. yeah.. what? Uhh... yes.... uh..sonofabitch... uh yeah.

It's got the weirdest dialogue lines. It's like the voice actors weren't provided without any context whatsoever. Mind you, it makes for funny scenes though; I was sneaking around in a camp the other day. Deacon first says to himself he needs to be quiet and careful, and as soon as I stealth-killed one bandit, he starts shouting HOW D'YA LIKE THAT HUH YA ****!!!>!?

@Deadlyblack Are you sure you're not playing Farming Simulator 3D?

"games actually used to be written like this"

I'm playing Days Gone at the moment and have never experienced such awful dialogue and characters in my 30+ years of gaming! It's so bad it's funny though, so that's alright.

I have no interest in either of them, but last month was a really good one for me, so that's absolutely fine.

Excellent, hopefully I'll be able to make my mind up afterwards.

@Ricky36h Fanboy much? I'm just hoping the console isn't as garish as the controller.

@JohnnyRandall89 How else can you interpret the sentence?

"This is a huge improvement on the current month's selection"

That's nice, stating opinions as facts...

Ordered Death Stranding for £21 and Days Gone for 16. That's June sorted!

@CFDennett You're very welcome! It's not a very trendy band of course to say the least, nor very popular among the younger audience perhaps. In case you're interested, they've just released their latest record called Obsidian, which harks back to their Gothic years whilst also incorporating some more recent elements of their sound. It's excellent.

The question is of course, will it feature music of the eponymous band?

Ah yes, the year Nintendo revealed the new Metroid Prime (Federation Farce). Standout moment for me was Shenmue 3 obviously.

Who'd have thought these Direct of Plays would work so well?!

I was thinking about picking Odyssey up, but I'm definitely waiting until next gen has arrived now. Thanks for the useful info!

I'll take a new Silent Hill as a launch title for Halloween, thanks!

@BalsBigBrother That's exactly my wishlist as well!

@GamingFan4Lyf Kudos for a refreshing pragmatic post there! I really don't get fanboyism, you're only shooting yourself in the foot with it.

A good reason for me to switch to Xbox would be their backwards compatibility. I can play all the Xbox One games I've missed, plus my older 360 and original xbox games.

That's interesting, as I thought Scorn and The Medium were, together with Yakuza, the most interesting titles shown.

Still feels a bit to me like playing nazis invading Poland.

Pedantic Pete here! Shouldn't "Push Back" from the title be a compound?

The trailer reminds me a bit of It Follows. Could go either way I suppose.

That actually might consider me to take another go at the series. I've last played the one set in London, which was bloated and quite mundane.

Having never played Crash Bandicoot at its release, I played the remaster a year ago or so, and found it incredibly tedious, even though I enjoy platformers a lot. I've never bothered with the sequels, but a new game might just entice me to give it another go.

Excellent, I thought the first part was pretty good, but for some reason the second one didn't really appeal to me (possibly the open world aspect). Now I can give it a go.

I've replayed the Jak and Daxter trilogy over the last year or so, and it was actually quite a disappointment.

I'd go with Maximo.

@Arnna I'd say it makes up for all the casual games we're normally getting. Besides, Sony has handed out two free games last month as well. I don't really get all these people getting their knickers in a twist, especially now when there are bigger things going on. Learn to put things into perspective.

What a surprise, we get two more grownup games and suddenly all the crybabies come out in their droves!

@Robocod Don't know if you've got a Switch, but I picked up Blazing Chrome on sale for 7 quid recently, so it might be worth keeping an eye out on the eshop there.

This looks right up my street! Never heard of this franchise, so I'll probably give MudRunner a go first.

Not sure how "Not for everyone" is a con though?
