Final fantasy XII (lightning returns if I remember correctly) was bloody awful. That entire timed day mechanic just encouraged you to use a guide instead of relaxing and playing it while discovering it's world, in case you missed something out.
I for one wouldn't buy it again after owning the PS3 version.
If you buy this, it will be £200+ and be not perfect and therefore a total waste of money.
I have really very gigabit broadband and very capable wifi, but the vita was still dodgy doing remote play with the PS5. It was better on the PS4, so hopefully there's way better tech inside to make it work reliably
As an owner of all playstation consoles, and a couple versions of the switch, I couldn't give a monkeys..
If the game I've never heard of (and only have now because of this twist) comes out on playstation a few weeks later, I'll wait for playstation, if it's actually a good game. Switch games tend to cost more, and stay at a higher price for longer. Plus, when I buy it on playstation my kids can all play it on thier playstations too. Can't really do that on switch as download would be only for one account, but I can download it to all playstations in the house for no extra outlay
@Slippship ah , well,. awesome. You'll love it. Particularly cool are the stages to the beat levels.. it's a great game, but with none of your usual 'make your own' levels the community was based around..
No where near as hard as any previous ones, but it made it more fun to play with my kids.
Acing all the levels doesn't matter anymore as far as I can remember, or if if did, they were much easier than those from previously. (Remember the rotating levels from I'm gonna guess lbp2.. lol)
So, sackboy that surely everyone bought the PS4 version, finished it, then upgraded to the ps5 version, enjoyed the wool on the floor which wasn't in the PS4 version, finished that..
A hand drawn RPG from 2001 that I personally have never seen before until I clicked the link..
And a FPS. Because God knows we haven't had too many FPS games on ps essentials..
Maybe I need to take my happy pills, but I'm not at all excited about any of them..
Could well be a handheld (makes sense with the PS3/PSP store closing recently) or even some slim PS5 or special translucent version of the PS5 as PS5 prices have been slashed 10% in the USA and up to 20% in the UK. All PS5 variants and most of the controllers have had prices slashed by Argos, etc
@Dalejrfanfreak
Exactly my thoughts.
There's no way I'm buying dlc for a full price title unless it's epic.
Last full price race game I bought all the dlc for was Burnout Paradise. And it was worth every penny!!
Plus all my DLC went across to the PS4 and PS5 version for free. UK and USA versions!!
It's a good job it won't take long to platinum, as in my rare experience with EA sport games, the servers go off pretty quickly after the next one comes out.
Should be good..can't be any more of a huge collectathon as Tokyo Ghostwire. That game is interesting but it really starts to drag at the 24 hours in mark..
Ridge racer type 4 was well ahead of it's time.
I occasionally watch YouTube videos of it to remind myself how great it is.
It has such slick loading screens and was to ridge racer what street fighter alpha / Zero was for the street fighter franchise.
If this gets trophies, then this will be the game that gets me off of the essentials tier as so far nothing above essentials has tempted me yet..
@Dr_Rock No, unfortunately. You'd have to own the digital version too.
The only reason this kind of makes sense is that if you had the disc version, then got the digital version free as a consequence of having the disc version, then you could sell the disc version, and the next person could do the same. It would really affect digital purchases, and Sony don't want that as it all profit!
@RobN I am glad you brought this up, because this is exactly my opinion. It's rare that anyone would buy the digital version after the physical version, and so it's not really that much of a feature. But I have had the same thing where I've had Minecraft dungeons or story mode or whatever, and it goes free on PS+, and I thought I just stopped using the disc, but I remember now that I used to install it all again as digital..

Pegged is the right word.

Re: Most PlayStation Fans Aren't At All Sold on a PS5 Remote Play Handheld
I use remote play quite a bit with my vita.
But I find I get a much more stable connection with my PS4 pro than my launch PS5. Not sure why..

They were free ages ago. Back when the European code actually worked.
I stopped using them as people thought they were a gummy bear gravestone

Re: 'Very Impressive' LEGO 2K Drive Collaborations Around the Hairpin for PS5, PS4
At £59.99 for the download version, this will be a wait for a while title for me.
Happy playing Kartriders drift and a few others for a while.

Re: PS5 Firmware Update Finally Changes How Game Discs Work
@RobN there's a really easy solution to that problem, and should be fine as you totally trust each other.
Make her console your primary, and your console her primary, and you can play all your games and all her games, and she can do the same.
My kids playstation is my primary, and they can play all my games, and I can play all my games on my playstation no worries.
