Is it just me or is the webstore hot garbage? No screenshots or trailer videos when you click on a game title? Why wouldn't they check out a game before you buy it?

I get that these days people will do their own research and use youtube / other reviews etc to learn more about a game, but still...

Not trying to be a complete jerk but Who?!

Wait... is it genuinely daa bee and not der bee

[stability intensifies]

@Rob_230 A quick look on the store shows that they’re still providing free ps3 and vita games this month.

The times are an actual joke. At least the Jeremy Kyle crew will be able to give it a whirl I suppose...

Final Fantasy XV: Milk That Cow Royal Edition Ultra

@VanguardKaiser you definitely should start from Yakuza 0, it is phenomenal!

Playing the first game on PS+, I couldn’t help but feel that it lacked some of the polish and replayabiliy as That’s You. Taking hilarious photos and seeing your friends reaction was half the fun. In Knowledge is Power you take an initial photo and don’t see it again until the quiz is over. If you want to play other round it seems like you have to go through the same drole and uninspiring voicing as the first play through.

I think the next game would have to improve on these for me to consider purchasing. Would happily grab another That’s You game though.

I’ll be honest, in a world with remasters and remakes the likes of Uncharted, Crash Bandicoot and Yakuza, I’m struggling to see any hook to play shenmue.

I cannot express how disappointed I will be if they announce Portal/HL VR.

@Bliquid Can’t you just get Wyvern gems from the Meld Store lady on the pot?

I think between Monster Hunter and Shadow of the Collosus I’m going to be busy for a good while Pretty tough act to follow!

I’m pretty sure there are only some aspects of character creation that can be changed after starting the game, so this decision does matter. Don’t make a your character look like Shrek unless you wanna keep it that way!

@Dichotomy I’m sure a number of players will be speaking with their wallets like you. The game is going to sell massively regardless though considering it’s the first AC game in a few years.

Urgh I can’t say I am enjoying this shifting trend of micro transactions in single player games. I suppose balance is the real issue. If it’s entirely possible to play and enjoy the game without he need for additional purchase, I’m sure most people wouldn’t have too much to fuss over. If however the balancing is off and players feel hamstrung without further real money investment, there will likely be a lot of angry players. Of course until the game can be played it’s rather hard to judge.

I do think it’s a small step away from Middle-Earth as the micro-transactions for gear and orcs is very likely to effect the multiplayer element, which suggests that the micro transaction purchases providing a distinct advantage against other players.

@ShogunRok

I have finally got around to buying and finishing Kiwami. I was new to the series, but always wanted to get into it. So I was absolutely delighted to dip into the delight that was Yakuza 0! After finishing that I got around to checking out your review of Kiwami, needless to say I was a little bit sad that they didn’t manage to follow up and make Kiwami as great as Zero.

Thank you for the honest review. I have to agree with your score, as much as it pains me to do so, as I really wanted it to be great. Even so I’m glad I played it, and look forward to further entries in the series! Fingers crossed that they keep remastering all the games for PS4 until we’re caught up over here in the west.

I'm a bit of a fan of the anime, can't say it really captures the depth of the anime from that clip though unfortunately. Then again bt has never really pushed my buttons so perhaps I'm not the target audience.

As someone who hasn't watched dragon ball for a long time can anyone explain what makes them blue saiyans?

I'm going to get killed for saying it but I just don't think kickstarter is the right means for funding/creating games. All that hype, often leading to a lacklustre product.

I honestly hope I'm proven wrong. I don't like smack-talking games, it's just worrying the direction we seem to be going in with singleplayer micro transactions, half finished games released to be finished in further payed dlc. I love gaming, I love the experiences that can only be had through that medium, I can't say I love the industry.

I'm actually more excited about this than FF15

Recently picked it up for the first time in the Amazon sales for £20! Really enjoying all the content.

Seems as though they've increased the stamina regeneration rate since the beta, that was one of the only reasons I wasn't too excited about the game

Bought it fairly recently, and I'm absolutely loving it. Easy enough to get into but challenging enough in MP to produce enough salt to keep the world going until 2020.

I must say I'm entirely bored of facing Kens and Ryus in MP though!

I'm so genuinely happy that a wider audience will get a chance to play these games. I'm not sure if I'll double dip myself, especially with Persona 5 coming out in early 2017, but great news nonetheless! More Danganronpa!!

I'm curious what the protocol will be for people who pledged funds via kickstarter when the game gets cancelled. Will they get a refund?

Next big disappointment, Shenmue

Looking forward to this and Ratchet and Clank more than anything else this year!

Timesplitters
The Getaway
Onimusha

Fantastic news!

Please don't be VR

I would honestly rather wait 3-4 years for them to release one game rather than have an episodic release.

Witcher 3 deserved GoTY for their approach to DLC content alone.

I might be alone in this view but I really dislike it when the PS+ game offering is a sequel. At this stage I'm not going to buy Walking Dead 1, just so I can enjoy the ps+ offering without feeling like I missed something.

I understand it from a business perspective, but I can't say I like it as a gamer. Don't punish me for not trying your earlier games... Give me a reason to buy your latest games.

So glad that more people will get a chance to play this! Loved it on vita

I got the Uncharted bundle from Argos last week for £329 for 1TB (12XX) PS4, uncharted, evolve, plus £20 argos voucher. Seemed like a good time to finally jump into the next gen.

Kinda wondering why they're still insisting all the bundles come with a 500gb PS4...

Making this available for 3ds in Japan is not going to help boost ps4 sales

Still waiting for my import to arrive Really excited to play it!

@Splat It's pretty fun on Vita! However, if I were you I'd wait until it's available on sale at some point, as it's not a must buy by any stretch .

I will quite happily buy every Danganronpa game that ever gets released.

@rastamadeus Black Flag is the xbox game of the month so unfortunately I don't think it'll be that this time around. I think you might be right with Knack though.

I see no reason why Sony would throw any more money at the project. From a business perspective, the project is fairly risky.
How many people have actually played the first two games? Fans of the series are clearly very passionate about it, which is great. However, how are people who are new to the series supposed to approach it? Buy a dead console to play it on? Emulate the series?

Looking at the Kickstarter, yes they have raised $3.6 million which is a huge amount, however this amount has been raised by ~45k people. Assuming that the majority of those people will receive a copy of the game, how many more copies will be sold post production?

People are also asking for a physical ps4 version of the game, being an enthusiast of physical media myself I understand this to a certain degree, however from a business perspective, is it really worth the printing cost?

I'm a gamer, and a lover of niche, but taking a pragmatic look at the title I find it hard to understand why Sony would offer any more than they have. It's great that games get made, unfortunately it is also a business. I really hope the project succeeds, but it wouldn't surprise me if it flops.

Most probably another block to limit people "jail-breaking" their PSVs.

Not interested in VR whatsoever to be honest. I don't think it's the future of gaming (at least for another 10+ years), it seems like 3D, a gimmick that will reappear every so years as technology improves.

I'm pretty happy with the stream of JRPGs and visual novels, with the occasional indie or cross play stuck in there. The Vita has been my go to console for quite some time now and I can't see that ending. I imagine that is one of the more positive things about limited number of releases, the ones that do get released are almost definitely going to sell.

is this going to be ps3/ps4?

It plays really well on Vita, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if we see more and more visual novel based games shipping across the border.

Uni exams are all over so the guilt free gaming can now begin! This weekend I'm enjoying Steins;Gate (Vita), Valkyria Chronicles (PS3), and finally getting around to playing Assassin's Creed Black Flag (PS3). Let the good times roll!

I'll pay anything to get that metal upa!
