I actually like multiplayer games (probably only one on push square) 100s of hours into The finals, Apex, Fortnite, COD, R6 Siege and many more I always try most multiplayer games with friends. But I just think they've completely choosen wrong type of games I think socom would do better than any hero shooter they attempt I even think warhawk would do better. I think the right way to go about it is add multiplayer onto single player games even if it's quite basic like resistance, killzone, last of us and even socom did and then you have people happy they've got they're single player and you may even get a audience for multiplayer side and they you build from that if you have a player base, it seems alot less risky. I know alot will disagree but just my opinion.

@Max_the_German firewalk you mean? They're publishing partnership started in 2021 then like year later brought the studio. The game was being developed many many years before this so Sony forced them to make this? Nobody forced it this was the ex bungie and Activision Devs that decided to make this.

@Johnnycide all of Sony studios that made games on previous gens are still making single player games. In fact they've added housemaque, bluepoint, insomniac to that list. Yes they've signed a couple of studios for multiplayer how does this stop them making single player games.

@Max_the_German forced by who? This was they're own studio that Sony brought few years ago. The game started development 8 years ago.

@Khayl firewalk made the game not firesprite 😉

20 - 40 seconds for me in UK. Quite enjoying it to be honest. The character designs are terrible but the actual abilities and weapons of those characters have been really fun.

I also brought wukong and have pre order astro bot and plan on getting vampire survivors today. Man I like to many genres of games.

I've been playing on ps5. I love it, it's my first time playing sly cooper/racoon game. I did however remap the R3 because it was inverted and couldn't change it. I really love the rewind feature and remapping, I know the FPS and Res could be much better but defo still enjoying it.

Played almost 400 hours since PC beta and now playing on PS5, I love the finals, they've done well balancing the abilities, guns, gadgets ect. Like people have said above people stick to what they've already put time and effort into and don't really change. I've tried this with my nephews to get them into new game and although they enjoy it they always seems to go back to Fortnite or Roblox. The people like me who do give alot of games a chance and switch are going to switch again when other stuff comes out.

Edit: Just to add the reason some of player base maybe leaving is not because they're not adding content, they do. It's because the stuff they're adding is awful. The new map is bland and lazy, the new guns are terrible and the abilities they've added are OK but again not great. So despite adding content it's been really poor content they have added.

@Kachiun it's basically just watching and making choices that alter the story. You dont move around freely but you do get like still frames and choose like what area of room to search for example. Art style is really strange because its like still image frame by frame but I actually really enjoyed the style after a while.

I'm going to say it again as I have on previous posts if you get the error server capacity close the game and use the activity card play quick game below the game icon on ps dashboard. You will load straight into you ship (only works if you've played tutorial and a game before) if you want to play games with randoms you may have to play a easy game solo because when trying to join you will probs get a error but after one mission solo you'll be able join randoms in missions.

If you want to play with friends do the above method and in a party click request to join and your jump into friends ship be able to play fine. Don't know how this is even possible because if the servers are full they're full but for some reason it's worked every time for me and my friends. Hope this helps.

@Nepp67 yeah unsure on that as played with friends and that was fine, it got us in at least don't know how because if servers are full, servers are full.

If you use the activity card instead of clicking games icon to boot the game and select quick match card, you somehow get in straight to your ship, if your getting server at capacity message. Don't ask me how but it's worked for me and my friends tonight that were all having that message.

This game is so much fun, I'm having absolute blast.

I'll be playing tonight... Waiting for the rest of my squad... Who I certainly won't kill by accident/on purpose.

I think we're going to all Microsoft games come across which I kinda hope happens.... although I prefer playstations exclusives I always get Xbox towards end of gen to play games I've missed that were exclusive to Xbox. No fanboy console wars here just like games in general so this huge news for me.

This has already been announced as PS extra game but will it be available tomorrow as PS extra title?

Good list for me this month only own one of theses games and will probably play most of these at some point.

Finally my family are free after Sony kidnapping them and forcing me to play thier live service game or else, they've took everything from me single player games gone, quirky AA or indie games that everyone loves but never brought or played gone and now this, live service and any multiplayer gone. Sony is doomed.

The pain when I got 2hours 23 seconds on stray for speedrun 2 hour trophy will forever haunt me.

I've just had apple TV+ with my phone contract and I dunno if it's just the awful netflix shows they've been putting out but I've really enjoyed apple TV+ platonic, crowded room, hijack, black bird. I've enjoyed them all

Twitch also has 50000 people watching someone in a hottub and giving all their parents money away. What a world we live in.

@themightyant maybe they can't talk about certain projects yet? With bluepoint going to a new IP, I wouldn't be surprised if they have gave wanted remastered plans to another studio and also talking about going onto new projects as quick as 3 months suggests that they maybe working on alot of things. Just my opinion I hope it's the case as I've always wrote theses off as pc port team and nothing else

@Magnus_Selene In this article. "Frauenfelder said: What we provide for PlayStation Studios is high-quality PC ports and also working more and more in creating remasters"

I think the exciting news here is they are going to be working on remastered for playstation aswell as pc ports.

@KidRyan yeah it was something to do with Victor Miller (co creator) I remember one of the Devs on discord or twitter saying it was something to do with altered costume designs and I think some other minor things like cosmetics that they were not allowed to use. I may be mistaken but it was in courts for almost 3 years and that's why dedicated servers shut down in 2020 and it went to P2P hosting. Most that info is available on Google but I always remember a Dev being abit annoyed that it was going to courts rather than just take whatever it was out the game.

I loved Friday 13th game. Shame the lawsuit ruined the support they had planned and some ready to go for it, all because of a costume used in the game they weren't supposed to use. They've kept they're servers going which is good but I know they had much more planned for it at one point.

@AdamNovice Completely agree with you. I love both single player and multiplayer and although I think 12 live service game is a bit excessive, I think the strangest decision is theses coming out within the same year or so.

Honestly quite sad that people want them all to fail. I actually hope some of them do kick off, I'm certainly not going to judge CGI trailers that showed nothing of the game at all.

Although 12 live service games sounds excessive they are classing GT7 and MLB as 2 of them, also we know factions 2 will be aswell and firewalk, haven, bungie games will also be live service. On top of that it sounds like some of thoses may even be mobile games, remember Sony acquired mobile studio recently. Also firewall 2 on PSVR is more than likely aswell.

If it's done like ghosts legends (I know wasn't live service I just mean was done as add-on to the main game) or this rumoured horizon online game aswell I mean you are still getting single player experiences aswell.

On a side note did I hear bungie want 3 games out by 2026 or did I miss hear that? Guessing one is continuing support for destiny.

I say it every time a showcase or state of play is on, give me socom reboot or remake you cowards lol

As I say every time I don't mind if I'm getting a full game to begin with and if they support a game I love over years with support I honestly don't mind that one bit.

If people just don't like online Multiplayer direction I understand. But let's not pretend online Multiplayer is new to Sony First and second party let me cast you back to PS3 Socom, Mag, Warhawk, Starhawk, Twisted metal, Crash commando even Killzone and Motor Storm were heavy online.

As for bloodhunt game was OK it was pretty minimal and bit late to the party in saturated battle royal market. When it launched with almost forced PC crossplay with lots of people cheating on PC, even though you could turn it off, it was on by default and you wouldn't match with PS players if you turned it off. As at launch no aim assist on controller either which made the game very difficult for average player.

I'm probably in the minority, judging by this comment section that actually don't mind live service games depending how it's done, although 10 games and judging most of theses will be within couple years of eachother is a bit excessive.

If it was a free game with just a season pass model like fortnite, apex and alot of others with just cosmetics then I'm fine with that.

If it's a full price game and nothing is locked behind a pay wall but the continued support over multiple years with large expansions again I have no problem with that, I can play full game and be done with it or if I really like it I can continue basically what is just DLC over multiple years.

I brought sackboy on release loved it especially later on when levels get really challenging, quite interested in meet your maker. Okay month for me.

This is how Devs and companies should support their games after launch, theses guys have shown great support and listened to fans since launch.

Me and group of friends loved Friday 13th few years back this this looks very similar so will def pick up. Hopefully it won't have the licence dispute that Friday 13th game had.

Don't judge me but I'm actually looking forward to Tchia.

@brazzios_84 I was joking. I know everyone likes different types and genres of games. But for the majority there is going to be a game there that people like.

If you're not happy with the extra games, I honestly don't think gaming is for you. I have most games already and still know that's amazing list.

I know people hate battle royale games but always thought a game like twisted metal would be amazing for that genre of multiplayer, just cars hunting one another down though a city, ramps everywhere, garages to repair ect.

I bet third party Devs are actually quite glad sony and Microsoft going in diff directions as in one heavily on gamepass even third party new releases and Sony who despite that are still sticking to there pricing model. So they get that guarantee fee from gamepass aswell as high potential sales from PlayStation who like today said on pushsquare Hogwarts 82% of sales on PlayStation.

I have question is games like destiny considered live service game? I honestly think I'm only one that as long as there's fully fledged game upon release I honestly don't mind continued support for that game.

I think there's just too many online service games it's not even the case all the games are bad everybody wants that fortnite moment and why not they've made billions but games that offer something new like what fortnite did being first battle royal on console and even games like dayz and rust although not amazing games offer something that console do not have I was really surprised to see all servers full on rust of past Christmas on console.i feel we at the stage we need something new not a copy and paste of a successful games

People with different opinions how dare they.... In all honesty looks like 7 game when reviews are very mixed but I still like the look of the game which in this case I do, I will just look at the bad points from the bad reviews just to see if if broken mess and probably still get it unless there's something really bad I didn't like that popped up in several reviews.

Some arcade paradise love, probably my game of the year absolutely loved it.

Is neon white still buggy, With the currupt saves on ps5? Been wanting to get it.

I'm playing last of us 2 for the first time, I also got inscryption which was part of push squares indie game of year and I've also seen few others really like it aswell, got to say from trailer doesn't look great but im taking peoples word on it haha.

I loved stray and I may pick couple more indies up in this Jan sale on PSN. Severed Steel which I'm pretty sure released this year on console is also very good

I just brought NFS unbound and Evil West 😭, saints row at that price you'll still be getting robbed

I was hoping Ridge Racer was going to have trophies and that was the reason it was taking games so long to come on premium wishful thinking haha. I do like pinball games so probs will check this out

@trev666 I was going to say exactly same thing, I don't see that as a bad thing at all.

Tempted by Rachet and Clank rift apart, with PSN voucher off shopto that's only £30
