I'd like to point out that in a world where Sony are slated for releasing amazing games for £70 on release that the Ultimate Edition for this is £110. Madness!
Who pays £60-70 for games 😂 I paid £43 for Deathloop, finished it over the weekend and sold it to CEX for £42. I dread when gaming becomes digital only!
I don't know if its just me or a widespread thing but I think i'm growing out of gaming after 36 years on earth. Literally 90% of that show was rubbish in my opinion and it's meant to be one of the biggest showcases of upcoming stuff. The biggest thing I was excited for was a 60fps patch for a game thats already out just so I can play the DLC 😂
Whats interesting the most is Madden:- 81 per cent of purchases were for the PS5, PS4 versions (49 per cent on PS5, 32 per cent on PS4). Do Xbox players just not buy games? This is a game that isn't on Gamepass and will be at least 9 months until it's added to EA Play. A system where no one buys games isn't sustainable long term especially when all those cheap Gamepass subs start to lapse and not get renewed. I know i'm not paying £12 a month for it when my cheap sub ends.
I wonder if the same people complaining that Sony charging £69.99 for the new games will have anything to say about this game. The Ultimate Edition (the one you need to get if you want all of the 1st year of content) is £110. You'll be expected to drop further coin after the first year and all the goods skins that they don't put in the battle passes.
@munstre most of the games I mentioned got a resolution bump on PS5. God Of War and The Division 2 were particularly impressive. GoW looks like a next gen game now in 4K.
@munstre Days Gone, God Of War, Crysis Remastered, Ghost of Tsushima, Ratchet & Clank, Remnant: From the Ashes, Rocket League, Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order, Divison 2, Last Of Us 2. All PS4 games that run in backwards compatibility mode on PS5 that all run and look significantly better thanks to the developers putting in the work. These are just off the top of my head i'm sure there are more. God Of War is a great example, the difference after the PS5 patch was amazing work.
This is what will inevitably happen to all games now Gamepass is popular. I can guarantee lots of Xbox owners will be saying to themselves "I wont buy this as it'll be on Gamepass eventually" Developers need to make up that revenue from those lost sales. This is why I laugh when people complain about Sony games being £70 (but who really pays that anyway come on|!) At least those games are fully fleshed out and not riddled with "micro" transactions and season passes (often announced way before the game is finished and shipped!)
I got this on disc and have already sold it. I don't have the time with work to dedicate 3-4 hour sessions to a run. Its also frustratingly hard. 60% of the players haven't beat the first boss after the first weekend. I'd say this needs a difficulty tweak before all the casuals join me and decide "i'm never going to complete this so why try?" Whats the point of spending millions developing a game where 90% of players won't see the end.
The fact I own an Xbox Series X and a PS5 makes this an easy pass on Sony machines for me. I'll play for "free" on Xbox with my Gamepass sub. Sony screwed themselves royally with this one!
@Johnnycide Dead Star is made by ex Rare Studios staff (they made the Metroid Prime games on the Gamecube). I'll least give it a try before writing it off.
Only way they could get me back is to add Raid matchmaking. It's virtually impossible for me to find 6 friends who play let alone organise a time they're all free. I know it's because of communication issues but at least give me it as a choice.

Re: Talking Point: What PS Plus Games for October 2021 Do You Want?
My guess is Hell Let Loose, Mortal Kombat X and PGA 2K21 😉

60fps patch for the first one too!

Re: Xbox Head Targets Sony for Not Launching Games Day and Date on PC
To be fair, it's pretty easy to release all of your first party exclusives on PC and Xbox simultaneously when you don't have any.

Re: Classic PS2 Action RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Is Being Re-Released Tomorrow on PS4
@Jayofmaya On PlayStation you connect to a friend with Share Play and its like youre playing local splitscreen multiplayer but over the internet.
Re: Classic PS2 Action RPG Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance Is Being Re-Released Tomorrow on PS4
@Jayofmaya Could probably use Share Play to play with your friend.

Re: Talking Point: Which Free December PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Tearaway Unfolded is my prediction.
Didn't sell well.
Is an exclusive.
And most importantly it's just gone on sale for £4.89
Re: Camouflage DualShock 4 Answers the Call of Duty in January
It would have been nice if you'd post a picture of the controller.
Re: Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Official, Launches Fall 2017 on PS4
The game’s vast and atmospheric world will provide the foundation for a brand new online multiplayer experience.
Sigh.
Re: Review: Rez Infinite (PS4)
@andreoni79 There is a limited boxed release that i'm getting now I know VR isn't required http://store.iam8bit.com/collections/rez-infinite/products/rezinfinite-ps4physicalgame
Re: Review: Rez Infinite (PS4)
Can this be played without a VR headset?
Loved Rez on the Dreamcast but can't justify spending £300+ for one game.

Re: Take Cover, Your April PlayStation Plus Games Have Been Announced
@Johnnycide Dead Star isn't out on PC yet. It's release date is 5th April. The 800 or so players you speak of will be Early Access players.
Re: Store Update: 22nd March 2016 (North America)
@Rockman55 I believe the remastered DOTT has Maniac Mansion in it like the old version used to.

Re: Feature: The Seven Deadly Sins of Game Design
You forgot collectables. Pointless padding added to a game to extend the play time.
