@Member_the_game Thanks for the explanation!

Not sure I understand. You need PS+ to purchase it. But once purchased, what happens to the game if your PS+ subscription stops? Do you lose access until subscribing again?

I just wish they would announce even more games that looks like Demon's Souls, where you get to fight some sort of dragon creature.

Is there a list of best pirate games on PlayStation platforms?

The problems started with the launch of the PS5. It came too soon, with too few units available, and they kept releasing the same games for the PS4, making it all a disaster. They're finally coming around to making good games on the console (I'm sure 90 percent of the 50 best rated games on this site are less than 15 months old) - if they release a Pro version now, things could turn bad.

Would be annoying to me personally, as I just bought the new PS5 model, after holding out for an upgraded model.

@Bunchesopuppies While not likeable, as you say, beneath it all he's a complex character, which could lead to an interesting story, whether you go back to before he turned evil and follow his transition, or if you follow his time helping Frodo and Sam, hoping to get the ring back for himself.

It'll probably be available on pc before I can find a PS5 around these parts.

This should be the norm for all retro games that were released as 50hz in PAL areas way back when. Allow the player to play both the best version and the version they originally played.

It's incredible that the arcade version of Galaxian hasn't been available to purchase for something like 10+ years.

Now, bring on Pole Position and Arkanoid.

Two years since release last week, and I've yet to see a PS5 around these parts (Norway), unless I want to pay scalpers.

@Uncharted2007 That is impressive. Never managed to beat the inside of the Technodrome myself. Will certainly give it a new try.

I guess it's okey for a game to be hard, only if it's a SoulsBorne game. One day, people will forget AVGN's skit about TMNT for the NES, and the game will be appreciated as a good game (with flaws) as it originally was.

Is Classic Mode a true (well done) port of the originals, or are have Sega tinkered with the games?

About time (though I'll believe it when I see it).

1,5 years since release, and still not a PS5 in sight. It's ridiculous.

Hopefully the original will be available to play with the PS+ Premium subscription.

It's good that the older games are made available again, but that seems rather expensive.

Wasn't aware that the arcade game got a PS3 release. I'm guessing it's no longer available for purchase?

This collection is incredible. I've hoped for some sort of collection, say all the NES games and the SNES games or something, but this is as complete as a TMNT/TMHT classic games collection can be.

Now, how about a Metal Gear / MGS collection next?

Wow, this is fantastic! (Though, I'd prefer it on the Switch.)

@Integrity I believe Mega Man X3 also was a SNES exclusive?

Regarding the PS3 and online, I'm surprised there's not been an article on Push Square about the expiration of the Let's Encrypt root certificate (expires today). What will happen?

Perhaps I should buy this on PSN/eShop/Steam before it turns into a Netflix exclusive?

How about Assassin's Creed IV (or any game in the world) beating Civ IV 85-15? Wtf.

@Enuo Nah, April getting kidnapped wasn't that prominent.

After buying Fifa 5-6 years in a row, I completely stopped half a decade ago. Played Fifa 21 against a relative this summer, having not played since around Fifa 16, and still I won, because nothing's changed.

In my opinion, EA should've released one base game (at a higher price) every five years or so, with seasonal updates released as (cheaper) DLC. That way they could've improved the game mechanics, instead of throwing out good mechanics, inventing new ones, only to introduce the old ones as «new» four years later. And they would've brought players like me back - having the base game, I wouldn't mind paying for a cheaper seasonal update every year or every two years.

N64 for PS4 confirmed!!

@ApostateMage Best cover art ever.

For those that have a Nintendo Switch, I highly recommend Wrestling Empire. It's the most fun I've had since the AKI games on the Nintendo 64.

«What's a video game console you still can't buy anywhere eight months after launch?»

I'd rather have an International Superstar Soccer 4K Collection.

Wait - it closes today or July 6?

Am I the only one clicking on the article because I thought there was something wrong with displaying Marvel's Intellectual Property on the internet?

I've ordered a physical version of this on the Switch, mostly out of respect to Alex himself. That being said, I'd prefer it if Sega just released more of the original games on modern consoles, rather than remastering them. Where are the Master System Sonic games, for instance, Fantasy Zone II or After Burner?

I think this looks awful. It’s been a while since I played Battlefield, but I thought one of the strong points of the series was that it is somewhat more realistic than the rest? Let’s just dive between parachuters with my wing suit, jump out of my billion dollar fighter jet to shoot another plane with a rocket launcher, and let loose my robotic dog cannon.

And, while no bearing on gameplay, why are all the soldiers in the trailer so «passive» looking? How light are the guns and equipment in 2042? When you go down a corridor with guns ready, you are really focused and keep your gun steady, ready to down the enemy - you don’t stroll along like you’re on your way to the beach for some serious relaxing (see 1:10 onwards, for instance). Most soldiers just looking around waiting for the enemy chopter to get the guns ready.

This is one great article! Thanks!

Oh, great. Another Pinocchio-Inspired Souls-Like Action RPG…

@uptownsoul I’m not saying this is not worth reporting, and I haven’t fired up the good ol’ Google engine, but did every major gaming site report when the Switch surpassed the Wii U’s sales number in the UK?? Even if (as other have mentioned in this comment section) Nintendo have done well with handhelds, Nintendo usually have done poorly in the UK when it comes to home consoles (compared to their other markets).

I would like to know how the worldwide sales of the PS5 compares to other recent succesful consoles in the same time frame (the PS4 and Switch comes to mind), but with covid, scalping and shortage it’s hard to tell what the numbers actually mean.

@naruball @God_of_Nowt Regarding Nintendo: The Wii did well everywhere because it wasn’t a conventional game console. I wasn’t considering handhelds (or the Switch, which we all know is its own phenomenon), but at least it’s no surprise to me that Sony’s newest flagship console outsold Nintendo’s worst home console, and I’m pretty sure it will soon surpass the NES, SNES, N64 and Gamecube as well.

As far as I can tell, SEGA always did well in the UK. But I’m having trouble understanding the Dreamcast numbers if what you say, God_of_Nowt, is true - how could it do so well in the UK, and yet PS5 have already outsold it with limited stock? If the Gamecube or Nintendo 64 sold more in the UK than the Dreamcast, I would say it did poorly.

(75 percent of every console activated are terrible numbers in my opinion for a new product that «everybody» wants, though my comment in that regard was more aimed at the hopeless situation with scalpers - I’m sure all stock would’ve been sold out regardless.)

But how many are in the hands of scalpers and how many are actually opened and in use?

That Wii U did poorly in UK is no surprise, as Nintendo have never done well there, but I’m surprised that the Vita has been outsold already. That being said, I’ve been on the lookout for a Vita in stores in Scandinavia for 5+ years and have never seen one, so perhaps the situation is the same in the UK.

Was SEGA already done in the UK when the Dreamcast launched?

Looking forward to this - let’s hope there’s online multiplayer.

I’m perfectly content with waiting for a price-drop AND a patch that brings the games into a finished state.

It just seems strange to me, I can either buy a PS5 and a Xbox Series X to play the games that come to both consoles (and miss out on games that are exclusive to pc), or I can buy a gaming PC and get it all. It’s one of the reasons I haven’t ordered a PS5.

I’m in need of a new PS1 memory card. Not sure I’d like to pay £60, though. Anyone have any good (cheaper) suggestions?

Not sure about the card part, but a circus sim sounds really fun.

Usually buy a game every month or so, but even with all the sales I can’t be bothered since my Wish List has disappeared.

I’d give him a high five, but first I want to know if he’s got an Atari 7800 collection.

Somehow ended up buying both the original PS4 game and the Switch game.

I’d say far from it.2016-2018 were all better.
