@riceNpea The question is, will you attack me if I look up your skirt?
I wouldn't. I'm kinky like that. 😂

I quite liked it. Four games there that are firmly on my radar. Could do without the corporate suits waffling though. Triggers my Phil Spencer 'chatty suit' PTSD.

Just show the games. They'll speak for themselves.

Nice. Damn shame it won't be playable in PSVR2, but still.... Nice.

I thought Astro's Playroom was an absolute belter. 100%ed it four times.

No love for TLOU Pt1?!!

.... /Blood pressure rises/Vein on forehead throbs. 😂

They'd better stop bragging about it, otherwise Spencer will be adding them to his shopping list.

@Powerplay94 Thank God! I honestly thought it was just me thinking that.
You definitely wouldn't buy a used car off him would you?

... Or a games console, in my case. 😁

Let's be sensible guys, they're not really going to be trying anything like that. Sure they've got $69 billion burning a hole in their back pocket, on top of the 7.5 they spent on Bethesda, but?....... 🤔..... 😳
... I'll err... I'll get back to you.

.... Phil 'seems' nice though. 😂

@thefourfoldroot1 I mean, VR is a bit niche ATM and might stay that way for a good while yet, but those naysayers obviously can't have played the same games l have.
I'm bloomin' loving PSVR2 ATM. Great games available now and new ones being added to the pipeline all the time.
Colour me happy.

Roguelites aren't usually my thing, but I immediately liked the look of this. I reckon that monochrome, surrealist environment will be something to behold in VR.
Very possibly a day one purchase is on the cards. 👍

@Loamy Did you only get banned for a week?
..... I suspect mine will be a bit longer. 😂

60fps for me.
I've been playing the 2018 game (at 60fps on PS5) in preparation for this... God Damn, it's still absolutely stunning! I'd be happy with more of the same. Can hardly wait.

... But I'll have to. My son has bagged it as a birthday present the day after launch, so he gets first go. 😭

Two cents = Twenty pence!!

I'll wait for a sale. 😂

Game looks phenomenal so far. I'm interested to see how much of that promised VR content there'll be. Full game?
If the Quest 2 version of the original is anything to go by, that would be off the scale.
Can't wait.

@riceNpea Me too, but I'm kinda scared to find out. 😂

Mr Druckmann does like to punch us in the feels.

@Bobobiwan I feel your pain. I started off hating part 2. Then I hated Abby. Then I hated myself for finding some empathy for Abby! 😵
Second playthrough was easier. I'd been made immune to the trauma by then. lol.

Actually agree with the recent article on here saying part 2 is the better game, but it'd be nothing without part 1.
The original though is, and always will be, something special.

Never been as profoundly affected by a game as I was by that.
Masterpiece. 👍

Someone at Capcom watched Old Yeller and thought it was a comedy.

.... The monsters!

As a massive fan of both games I'd love to see it...... a bit.
TBH, unless they start afresh with new characters (and then it just wouldn't be TLOU) it's hard to see where they could take it.

A prequel of sorts showing those missing 20 years from the beginning of the first game would be a winner, but I imagine that would likely be covered by the upcoming series.
Maybe the series would provide something we haven't seen and could be a springboard for a new instalment of the game?

First two are gonna be a hard act to follow, no matter what.

@riceNpea Remember to actually play it this time. 😂😂

@dschons It was that bit where you have to descend those creepy, damp looking basement stairs that got me. I was, "Oh, they must be out of their God damn minds. I ain't going down there"!!

Took me about 10 minutes to pluck up the courage. 😂

@AdamNovice Really hope it happens. Resi 7 in VR was a gamechanger. Absolutely incredible experience. With these visuals and motion controls?...

... Invest in adult nappies, sir! We'll make a fortune. 😂

They can do a version that works on my nans toaster for all I care, just as long as a PSVR2 version is on the cards (Quest 2 Resi 4 is sooooo good).👍

I'll buy it at a high price..... Again.

I read that as Infinity Stash, and now I'm imagining a game where the characters just sit there, absolutely baked.

GoW comes out the day before my boys birthday. Guess what he wants? 😁

.... Obviously I'll have to test it THOROUGHLY!.... Just to avoid any potential disappointment, you understand.

@riceNpea I'm gonna push the boat out and tile my bathroom with copies of TLOU Pt1.
..... /Flees from baying horde! 😂

@eltomo 😂 Nah, I think GTA was for tiling the roof.

I'm starting to think that people are tiling their bathrooms with copies of MK8!

I want one of a clicker!
... I'll just spray paint a cauliflower and stick some false teeth in it.

Easy 10 for me. Best version of my favourite game ever deserves no less. I honestly wish I could erase it from my memory, just to enjoy it afresh all over again.
Price is admittedly a sore point, but the game itself is a bonafide masterpiece.

@dschons Absolutely, mate. VR was always the gaming dream and, as an older gamer, I honestly didn't think I'd see it in my lifetime. Not done so well at least.

Hell, even PS VR Worlds title screen blew me away first time I saw it. And don't get me started on Resi! Absolutely amazing!

Honestly can't wait, and I hope PSVR2 succeeds so we have years of great gaming experiences to look forward to. 👍

@dschons Me too. VR pulled me out of a jaded phase I was going through years ago and I'm ridiculously excited to get my hands on PSVR2.

I keep emailing Amazon, 'Have you sent it? Is it on its way"?!!
They haven't, because I can't order it yet, but I just want them to know how badly I want it. 😂😂

.... I'm expecting to receive a restraining order any day now. 😂

@Kidfunkadelic83 I didn't even know such a thing existed. I'll deffo give one of those a pop. Thanks for the info mate. 👍

@SpaceDonkey I'd definitely recommend one, mate. Even as a budget option it ticks all the boxes. When you first see one it seems a bit cheap (there's a lot of velcro), but I've had mine for six months, it's used pretty much daily by three of us and it's as rock solid as the day it was bought.
Not up there with the more expensive offerings, but for the price it's fantastic.

Which wheel are you looking to use BTW? I'm on a G29 which stays permanently bolted to the Playseat (velcro strap holds the pedals onto the pedal deck, but they don't move) and I've had no issues whatsoever, even when using a lot of FFB.

Recommended. 👍

EDIT: Ask riceNpea for his opinion too (he's on this thread). I think he had a Playseat/G29 combo and, as someone I've known for years, I can vouch that he's a good 'un who won't steer you wrong.

@The_Pixel_King No worries, dude. 👍
I put off buying a wheel for a long, long time (space issues, cost... will I regret buying it?), but I'm glad I took the plunge.... Well, my kids did anyway. lol.

It even transformed P Cars! Horrendous with a controller, but absolutely majestic with a wheel, once you've dialled in your settings.

@The_Pixel_King If you're willing to stump up a bit of extra cash a Playseat Challenge works brilliantly... considering it's pretty much a glorified deck chair. 😂
Seriously though it's very sturdy, comfortable and foldable for storage.

Got my kids one with a G29 last Christmas and it's been brilliant for racers. Really immerses you in the game. 👍

You could sell sand on a beach after a race like that.... "GET IN THERE LEWIS"!!
So close. If it hadn't been for that last safety car, he'd surely have been on the top step of the podium.
What.
A.
Race.

Playing at a (seemingly) locked 60fps without RT is my preferred option. Game still looks better than on PS4/Pro. 👍
Resi 7 holds up better with its RT. Lovely and smooth with some beautiful (well, as beautiful as the grotesque can be) lighting. And all with nary a blip or stutter.

Terrific games.

Lovely. 😊
Funnily enough, after Sonys SOP and its smashing Resi news, I'm just coming to the end of a playthrough of Village. I was going to jump into Resi 2 REmake (what a top drawer game) afterwards.
Think I'll hang fire now.

Cheers Capcom. 👍

I feel your pain, Liam.
E3 was like Christmas for gamers and The Grinch stole it away from us.
I really do miss it. 😟

Congrats to them.
And isn't it fitting that Insomniac are doing so many super hero games? They're the game dev equivalent of super heroes themselves, looking at their stellar output so far on PS5.
Game devs straight out of the top drawer. 👍

@Markybash .... Worst. Update. Ever!

Damn it, I went with, "Eat my shorts"!
That's what happens when you skim-read articles, kids.

"Fit for porpoise".... 😂😂😂
Genius. 👍

I'd love to see a few more championships added. It's not like there's a shortage of motors or racetracks to make it happen.
Terrific game though. One I'll dip in and out of for many years to come.

Can't argue, it's a fantastic controller. Loved it as soon as I wrapped my cloven hooves around it, but what really makes me realise how good it is, is when you use another controller. Aside from its comfort, Dualsense compared to everything else just feels so..... Alive.
Inspired piece of design by Sony and my favourite controller ever (with DS4 in the runner up spot, followed by Xbox 360's still lovely pad).

Did once have to replace one of the tiny springs in the trigger though, but it's worked brilliantly since.

Nice for those who want it, but personally I'm loving how many 60fps games we're getting. A lovely sweet spot of smoothness and visual fidelity.
It is great (if somewhat limited) that this is an option on a console that can be had for as little as 360 quid though.

@thefourfoldroot Yeah, they've had a few mass culls since then, mate. I left of my own accord in protest at seeing one too many good guys being given the heave-ho. Not the EG it once was TBH.
And thank you. I am a chill guy I hope, especially since leaving EG. 😁

@nessisonett 😂😂
Ideally you'd have a shiner and a fractured orbital socket once the headset comes off.

@thefourfoldroot Yeah, it's absolutely fine offline (lower payouts not withstanding). I don't venture online myself, so my enjoyment of the game isn't affected by the need to top leaderboards..... Not that I ever could. I'm average at best.

BTW, are you the same 'thefourfoldroot' that was a Eurogamer regular a few years ago? Your username seems familiar.

@thefourfoldroot From what I've seen so far (Completed the cafe part. About halfway through missions/license tests. Finished all championships) the super expensive cars aren't necessary. You should be OK for vehicle content.
As for the power/class stuff (referred to as PP in the game). You'll win many of the cars you need if you play through the cafe part first, and the cars are easily tunable to make them competitive for certain events where you don't have a car ready 'out of the box'.

I've had no probs thusfar. Got plenty of motors and just short of 3 million credits. I will say though that most of those credits were earned before the upgrade lowered the payouts. 👍
