Really looking forward to this. Love the Borderlands franchise. Would be great if we could get a port of Borderlands 2 or any other Borderlands game to PSVR2 as well.
@FinneasGH That’s how I felt with Astro Bot Rescue Mission, easily one of the PS4’s greatest games.
It brought back all the memories I had playing Mario 64, realising that it had changed the way we play platformers.
That VR game was mind blowing.
A massive shame a lot of people will never get to play it. Saying that, a lot of people will have never even heard of it.
I was watching a video about the new Astro Bot a couple of days ago, and the guy said people have been demanding a full Astro Bot game and now we finally get one that isn’t just another Playroom. Shocking the amount of people that don’t even know Rescue Mission exists.
I mentioned it in one of the other articles. I bought an ROG Ally last year and spent the best part of a day installing launchers, signing up to new stuff, resetting passwords on old PC accounts. While it would’ve been nice to avoid, it wasn’t an issue. Why is this suddenly the biggest problem in gaming?
@KoopaTheGamer They had a live event with “influencers” playing the game about a year ago. It looked ok. I’ll get it regardless, I’ve always enjoyed the Test Drive series. The Duel, Off Road, 5, Unlimited. All janky but fun games.
I somehow missed 2Xtreme, but played the crap out of ESPN Extreme Games and 3Xtreme. I was playing 3Xtreme only a few months ago. I’ll definitely go for the Platinum on this.
How many are younger people with hand-me-down old consoles playing free to play games like Fortnite, with little to zero knowledge of anything beyond that?
I can’t imagine there is much more than 50 million so called mid/hardcore gamers.
@DennisReynolds Off topic slightly, but regarding the false info/location stuff, I had the opposite with Steam last year. I hadn’t used my account in about 5 or 6 years. When I tried to log on, it had clearly been hacked, my avatar was some blonde woman and the language was set to some Cyrillic text. After a few days or speaking to them, they finally gave my account back but refused to change the country. I said that’s crazy as I am British and have bought all my games on that store front and have a British bank account. After a week of back and forth, they refused to change it, so I had to create a new account. I think the terms and conditions are determined by the support person you end up speaking to. Haha.
Would’ve been nice if they had kicked off about all the other launchers/accounts. I bought an ROG Ally last year and it took me the best part of a day to install all the launchers and password reset about 20 different accounts I needed. Haha.
I posted this in the movie thread the other day, but I’ll stick it here too.
The other day, the CEO “steps down” they bring 3 people in to replace him, then they have a 9 minute earning call, don’t take any questions and instead play the Mission Impossible theme on a loop.
Played it for about 3 or 4 hours at release and maybe an hour a few years later. I’m tempted to try it again as I keep hearing it’s nothing like it was. But if I did, I would try again on Game Pass, I definitely wouldn’t buy it.
At this point, it’s probably the best Paramount can hope for. There has been talk of them breaking up and selling off pieces. Wells Fargo analysts had a harsh financial view of them recently. Didn’t sound very good.
It’s not a make or break for me, but I have no idea why some devs just don’t even bother adding a Platinum trophy. It makes zero sense to leave it out.
@JamieO No worries about a reply, you don’t have to respond at all! Haha.
Yeah, we have been getting some decent stuff over the last few years. Still a bunch of weird ones I haven’t heard about in years, That 90’s Racer was the reason I bought a Wii U. Still waiting. Haha.
Victory Heat Rally is another, I swear that was coming out years ago.
Played the SNES version of Top Gear the other day. Couldn’t believe I remembered the soundtrack like I only played it a day earlier. Classic stuff.
@HotGoomba I loved Iron Man VR. Even platinumed it. Shame they didn’t update for PSVR2. The better texture/graphics, controls and haptics would’ve taken it to another level.
Might try it again this weekend, played for a little bit at launch, tried it again a few years later when people were saying they had fixed it. Just don’t click with me. Supposed to be a very different game these days.

Astro Bot looks cool and I’m hoping that Aliens VR game turns out well. The rest wasn’t for me.

Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2024 Announced
Great to see some PSVR2 games shoved in there. I own them already but good to see some support for it.

Some great stuff came from that Studio over the years. Blood and Truth was amazing.

Sounds stable.
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Sea of Thieves on PS5?
Played it for about 3 or 4 hours at release and maybe an hour a few years later. I’m tempted to try it again as I keep hearing it’s nothing like it was. But if I did, I would try again on Game Pass, I definitely wouldn’t buy it.
Re: Intense Arcade Racer Distance Is Finally Coming, 10 Years Later, to Both PS5 and PS4
@JJtheTexan I bought a Wii U for it. Haha.
Re: Intense Arcade Racer Distance Is Finally Coming, 10 Years Later, to Both PS5 and PS4
I’ll jump in on this, forgot it existed. Haha. Would be great on PSVR2.
Any news on That 90s Racer/90s Super GP? It’s been “coming soon” since 2015. Haha.
Re: EA Japan Exec Criticises Rating Board for Apparent Stellar Blade Special Treatment
I agree with him, it makes CERO sense.

At this point, it’s probably the best Paramount can hope for. There has been talk of them breaking up and selling off pieces. Wells Fargo analysts had a harsh financial view of them recently. Didn’t sound very good.
Re: Sony Reveals PlayStation Overlay for PC Ports, Supports Trophies, Friends List
I’ll double dip on more PlayStation games on my ROG Ally if this is going to be the norm.
It’s already a great Game Pass machine, this would be a great addition.

Re: Everybody's Golf Dev Skips PSVR2 for New VR Golf Game

Looks like I’ll just have to get it on the Quest 3.

@The_Pixel_King Same here. I’m about 50 hours in and I’m on Chapter 7. Loving it.
Re: PSN Data Says Foamstars' Future Is Bleak, Just Two Months After Release
I tired it, but I could barely find any games in the first week. Haven’t played it since.
Re: 16 More Games Coming to PS Plus Extra, Premium in April
Great list, although I’ve still got no time to play any of them. Haha.
@UltimateOtaku91 Animal Well.
Re: $130 Version of Star Wars Outlaws Under Fire as Ubisoft Prices Increase
Preordered the Ultimate Edition earlier. £120 for at least *30 hours is more than fair to me.
I preordered the Far Cry 6 Ultimate Edition and its value for money was great.

Re: Star Wars Outlaws to Feature Emilia Clarke's Solo Character, Lady Qi'ra
Shame she isn’t reprising her role. Really looking forward to this game.
Just did a search to find out about the preorders, seems to be a lot of noise about the community manager.
I preordered the Ultimate Edition on the PlayStation Store. I can’t wait. It looks amazing.
Re: Star Wars Outlaws PS5 Release Date Leaked Ahead of New Story Trailer Drop
I can’t wait for this. Ultimate Edition on day one for me.
Re: Video: Our Favourite PS5 Games of 2024 So Far

Re: Poll: How Much Do You Care About 60fps on PS5?
Perfectly fine with 30. If a game offers 60, great. If a game offers 120, great. If a game offers 4644644, great. But I’m more than happy with 30.

Re: Random: Seven Years Later, No Man's Sky's Reputation Is Slowly Improving
Unbelievable how good the game is, and playing in PSVR2 just blows your mind every time you jump in.
