Only bought two brand new games this year so far. Helldivers 2 I regret, is just not for me and I had feeling that would be the case, and Astro Bot which I told my 8 year daughter was for her (as playroom is her favourite game) but it's secretly for me. I thought Ratchet and Clank was my go to platformed, but this has now over took it. Completed first level to max. I was just so fun and I will be jumping back on later

How did this pass the quality test from bungie? The Sony gatekeepers for live online service.
Did they see this being a disaster and let it happen focus move off them and the destiny 2 sh*t show that has happened since they vaulted content.
The gate keepers that blocked an actual live service game in Factions 2 that punters wanted (even if it turned out crap it would sell a ton based on the original)
I just don't know what has happened, but I know I would not touch Marathon based on what happened with Destiny franchise, and would not touch Fairgames based on it looking like a payday knockoff

Finished it a couple or months ago but nwwd to do Dlc areas I really enjoyed the game. Have only played ds1 and demon souls remake so far, and really enjoyed it. I played it at same time as ac odyssey, so was great playing two very different types of combat at the same time. My big decision as I own all of the soulsbourne games (and most of their copycats) is which to play next. Do I play in order of release so bb, ds3, sekiro, er or do I complete the ds triology?

Mote than usual but that's due to the Portal creating more time to play.

@Troubbble I found it very respondant and didn't notice lag or I adjusted to it very quickly. I played ac odyssey a lot, nfs unbound, tina tinas wonderlands, astrobot, horizon fw, metal hellsinger and had no issues. As you can see that's a variety of types pf games with different response times required.
Yes I did have drops from occasions at launch but is been great since and sometimes on first login it's messy but if you disconnect and reconnect straight away it's perfect.

Simply unlock ps portal to stream ps plus. Make it so that it's baseline ps4 streaming or possibly ps4 pro if you have that system. Then ensure that if you are an active ps5 user, then it upgrades to streaming ps5 games. I am sure this will incentives subscriptions and systems

Wasn't mad on the first game but can see they could really take it somewhere with the experience and probably bigger budget

@Sacrosanctus I think they have to. This game is the epitome of one and done 0oay for the majority of players. It's a great interactive movie but once you have seen the ending, I don't think there is a compelling reason or will to replay just to see different scenarios. Especially with the twist of the story and after that point it is pointless. I would more likely be tempted to pay an upgrade fee than for it outright again.

@WaveBoy actually I felt the discomfort with nose but the motion sickness to be improved

Mine arrived yesterday. Only played a little bit as had to charge the controllers first. Walking Dead Saints and Sinners seems really good. I struggled with the original resolutions on psvr and got motion sickness pretty quickly. Didn't feel this yesterday

Must resist fourth controller...... just bought psvr2 on offer so that kind of stops me.

@Max_the_German sorry I know it streams on a separate chip at 1080p60fpshdr, however, what I am saying is that if it could convert the main system to 1080p super sample and stream that, then it would be even better? I am guessing that the chip for streaming is having to convert the TV output image from 4k to 1080p, so it will unlikely be doing a super sample, and if the image for tv is already switched to 1080p then there would be less grunt?

I wished they integrated output to 1080 when you connect via portal. It would then super sample but also reduce data being streamed making even more stable.

That link you can change to reflect all different regions for ps store too so you can see which has the best deals

@Golem25 yes I am finding the campaign to be boring, especially the whole calendar, where you don't know what car you going to need to get you through and not earning enough at the beginning to have enough cars with various ratings required, let alone tune them up to be competitive

@Czar_Khastik deals, not massive but deffo some
https://psdeals.net/gb-store?platforms=ps3

The two R's for me. Ratchet and Remnant

@Czar_Khastik fed up of waiting to see if remasters or back compatibility ever comes about. So been using a site that tells you all the ps3 store deals and couldn't resist

Arghh... I just had to drop all other games to complete tiny tina wonderlands since the last announcement of leavers. Now I gotta do the same for nfs unbound.
I will never get to my backlog of purchased games and I've been on a ps3 spending spree recently

Happy as no more added to back log as own BL3 and can drop in and out of nhl hockey whenever I feel like it

@Impossibilium update, went through the downloads list and there 8 or 9 games that are either not there at all or are only trials. Epic mickey and sonic cd show as normal but when you download they are trial versions with no keys. Dead nation is completely missing in action

Hopefully its a big graphical update, as original is a but bland but it was an early 360 title

Thankfully nothing to add to the backlog this month, which seems rather silly saying but it's getting too big. Already have BL3 in backlog, personally no interest in among us, as don't like graphic style or multilayer games, and although NHL is probably good, I didn't really play the previous ones on plus despite loving it back in the megadrive days. I like the occasional match in fifa as I love footy and used to love the footy games but just don't have spare time to commit to those one offs and single games nowadays.

@Impossibilium I am not sure which list I have checked, bit will definitely use that one now as my spot check. What I had initially done, was go to store, all games in a to z order and then go through ticking off on the sheet.
So green for those showing full game purchased
Orange as delisted so not in store and therefore check against downloads
Blue where it's now showing trial purchased but main game as required to buy.

Therefore I need to go through orange and blue in my downloads. I think I have used the one you said in the past, when downloading something back to my hard drive, but I may have used the store one when I was doing this exercise to save coming out of the store app and going back in.
Thank you for the tip though, much appreciated

@MrMagic yes and they are never together either. Wish me luck, I think the download list is around 1500 with lots of nonsense to check through

@MrMagic I am uk too. So no idea what's going on. Going to have to do the painful download list first. You forget how archaic that was on ps3 and how much better ps4 and ps5 did it

How does it compare to ps3 version. I have it but haven't played it. I know with sly game and jak games, the hd collections were supposedly superior to the ps4 emulated ps2 games

I am wondering if games get delisted and then reinstated, whether it is a different version and that is causing an issue. Only speculating but it's a pain.

I have the same issue with sonic cd

@MrMagic tried that, even restored licences on ps3, ps4, ps5 consoles but nothing. Its a painstaking exercise but I am not rebuying. I will raise with sony and if no joy find out next steps

@BetaRabbit64 I am on the ps3, and in the physical ps3 store. It shows other games I have purchased as purchased. But there is a number that now state purchased for the trial version and the main game I need to purchase again. I am currently going through the store and ticking off the 300+ digital games that show in the store as purchased or not purchased, and if they have been delisted I now have to go through the horrendous ps3 download list, that you can't search, filter or sort. Not only that it has the vita library mixed in. But once I have built up my list of issues I will contact sony.

@Arnna yes I have started buying up loads of ps3 games recently building out that library because no chance what I bought will appear on ps plus. However going through I noticed games I owned on the ps3 store now saying I needed to buy. They also have epic mickey 2. That's next on my list

Out of interest, did anyone ever own the digitsl version of castle of illusion remake on ps3. My purchase of the game has changed to trial only and now prompts me to buy. I know I had full game as I have the trophies for completing it.
I then started going through my spreadsheet (very sad I know but I need to keep.track) of my ps3 digital library, both ps plus and purchased and I have quite a few games that now show as trial versions only. Again I have not cancelled ps plus, and bought most games, plus I have trophies for completing. Plus I never download trials. I have restored licences but to no avail.

Does it matter if games come to current only or rival platforms? If the games turn out to be great, can't we just enjoy them on our console of choice. If it be last generation, then you have to settle for an inferior version. If it be xbox, then you settle for series s standard (as that's the most popular.version) or maybe enhanced series x. Games are planned for the masses. I think most games that come out nowadays are far superior to our tinted glasses games of yesteryear. I know as I am playing loads of classics in the back catalogue and even these are enhanced remasters etc.

Ok that means I need to drop the other 8 games I am currently playing through to start tiny tina, no point in paying for increased service and then missing out on the games on wish list and I don't want to have to buy full game

I will happily admit I watch tutorials and read guides. One due to playtime limitations, two there's no real indication of what things do and where to do it in their games, three to maintain fun, lack of progression can put you off. Also just because you watch and read tutorials, does not mean you can actually do the things, one f up and your dead. Lol

Why do they never give us the ps2 versions of psp games

Ffs - I just bought Monster Hunter Rise in the sale last week. Mind you it was with the expansion and I'm guessing this version doesn't have the dlc. I am hoping it don't otherwise thats 16.59 wasted

Serves me right, up until last week, I had stopped buying ps4 and ps5 games due to the backlog and the fact those on my wishlist ended up on plus in one way or another.

I will stick to buying ps3 games and build up my digital collection as the dvd drive is a little dodgy now after 14 years

Happy about Daxter though, just hope secret agent clank is next.

I live and breathe playstation but damn, today's xbox show really showed up sony marketing department. I will not jump ship especially with my backlog of smash hits to play (i literally just added 5 more ps3 gamws to it) but I need the excitement of what is to come for the ps5. I don't even need games, I just want the ability to play streamed games on portal (even if they restrict to owned games) but I wished they would just emulate ps3 software so I can play my collection

@ShogunRok it's more the bloated grind and chore that normally goes with this. Dont get me wrong I like do tasks but I dont like having to repeat something just to progress

Didn't realise this is free to play. That puts worry in mind

Return of the cgi trailers again. And more updates on the same sort of fps hero shooter or world creating / cooking games. It completely kills the excitement, as we are not seeing anything truly new. I am so glad I have amassed a back catalogue of over 150 games over ps3 / ps4 / ps5, not to mention the games added to ps plus extra and premium. I actually get excited for starrtng new old games.

One thing I would hope they do, is actually have voice work. I mean they could use AI to do that. The talking and reading got on my nerves.

I dont bloody believe this. Never thought this would get a remake. I am currently doing this as part of my backlog, its a great game but it is tough in areas, especially with the poor camera and fps making simple things hard. I am just currently finding the last of the leafs and those bloody carts before I finish the last boss so.i can get the platinum. I.am not starting this over agian

I am well happy. Always wanted to play streets of rage 4 but didn't want to fork out for it. And then spongebob for me and my little girl is going be great as she loved bikini bottom. Not overly bothered with the wrestling game but looks old school so might be up my street. Nice quick games instead of slug fest

Can't believe I was excited for this show. Will get Astro Bot, really got hyped at the start for concorde and it just turned out to be a reskinned destiny deathwatch, gutted, because if it had been a full on reskinned pve destiny with that story I would love it. Silent Hill looks bad remake. And we are just getting killed with soulslike games, they all are blurring into one now.

If everyone jumped on board the xbox train for this, it would devastate the industry. Think about it, if ps players currently whether it be ps4 or ps5, jumped to xbox and gamepass, then not only would cod sales fall through the roof, but all the third party releases be it day one or older sales would also fall through the rood because of then being on gamepass. There would not be enough income to support all these games being available on a single prescription, as both ea play and ubisoft are already part of gamepass. Sony wouldn't be able to compete and most of its studios would be closed or sold off, meaning lots of ip disappearing. Dont want to be bringer of bad news but/that's is what will happen. Note I don't want xbox to leave the industry either.

I would be interested to know what is the most played feature on COD. Is it the old school multilayer and zombies, or is it now tur f2p warzone. If its the latter, then I can't see any new subscribers to gamepass, as those who play warzone already have it. UNLESS they create a new tier of Game Pass for COD. So they don't put up the prices of current gp bit introduce a new tier so technically its keeping promise.
I just can't see someone forking out for new xbox just to pay gamepass just to play cod. If that was the case, the would butcher their own xbox sales for anything they plan to release on ps as it would be free on game pass. This would also then pee off third parties, because if ps players moved to xbox for cod, they would get a lot of third party games for free and therefore massive loss of sales.

How can the first collection be lower than both of the games in said collection. I know the versions singularly are ps2 vrs ps3 collection but the collections were hd up and nothing else different? Therefore bring superior

Looks way too fast and frantic for my liking. Lol
