@get2sammyb so... do I dare ask, even though the graphics look really outdated, does it run with a solid framerate?
Asking for a friend...

Sweet, just like the old days. I got my intro to MediEvil from a PS1 demo disc, so I'm down for a demo if it drops on the PS Store after this evenings State of Play.

@AdamNovice agreed, leave the fanboy nonsense comments for YouTube. They're all more or less the same plastic box with wires inside. Let's be thankful this past time gives us so much entertainment, regardless of platform.

@AdamNovice @nessisonett don't forget you can also grow mushrooms with your pee, so Death Stranding is also Farming Simulator '19.

@Gumbopudding (in my best stereotypical Italian-New Yorkian accent) Ayyyyy, tomayyyto, tomaaato, I'll take eider one.

So, Sony announces a new State of Play for September 24.
Guess what other major platform holder is having an 'Inside' show on the same day.
Is Sony being the ultimate corporate troll? I feel they've got some major news to drop, just to upstage said other platform holder. That would be delicious.

Good to know, will check it out when I get home. I'd love a good Gravity Rush 2 themed wallpaper for my phone.

Wouldn't it be funny if that footage was like pre-pre-pre-alpha footage and this game turns out to be GOTY material from this studio?

Death Stranding who? Gears who?

Yeah, that'll be the day.

Seems like every rumour that was put out there for the Xbox Scarlett and 'debunked' (re: 2 SKU's at launch and others) is being conveniently recycled for the PS5.
Not gonna believe any of them until Sony sings.

All these officially licensed, late-in-the-generation 3rd party 'Pro' controllers better be compatible with PS5 day one.

Really love the art style and animation.

@get2sammyb I thought this game came out and was reviewed (previewed?) a while ago. Am I living in dejá vu land? Did you get to see how it runs on standard PS4? That's what I have, and I'd like to give this game a shot.

Lemme guess who's game will be a shoo-in for Geoff's nomination for Game Of The Year 🤔

I just want to hear the game has gone gold, read and watch the reviews and figure out if the game is something I'd really like. The last Kojima game I really played for any length of time was Metal Gear Solid 2 back on PS2, and I didn't even get a chance to complete that because my PS2 and my games were stolen.

@Knuckles-Fajita Fair enough point. However, I'm just stating the obvious, really: some people get 'triggered' way too easily nowadays and make controversy out of stuff that really isn't that important. Note the following virtual conversation:

Person 1: "Hey, did you know that Sony calls the 'X' button on PlayStation controllers the 'Cross' button?"

Person 2: "Really? Huh... did not know that. Cool."

Unfortunately, we seem to have devolved to this in some respects:

Person 1: "Hey, did you know that Sony calls the 'X' button on PlayStation controllers the 'Cross' button?"

Person 2: "They do?!! OMG, like this totally destroys the enjoyment I've received from gaming in the last 25 years!! I must immediately jump upon the internet and complain profusely! REVOLUCĺON!!!11!!"

Of course, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but it's kinda ridiculous that people are getting their knickers in a twist over the name of a plastic button...

Wh... why is this still a thing?
It's Sony's platform. It's been like that since the beginning of PlayStation. They can name the button whatever they please, and they did just that. You know, intellectual property and all that.

There are much more serious things to get upset about, like the state of the economy, or if you'll have a job tomorrow.

Come on, internet. Do better.

@redd214 I am quite compact, so if that's considered 'fun', well I guess I am.

Great. Can't wait for the user (and some critic) reviews that hail Death Stranding as a "triumph in elevating video games to art form status"🤣🤯
Video games are already art, FYI.
I know Sony takes risks with its video game output. I hope this one pays off.

Nice... I love that minimalist style.

So I take it the easy mode will be a cake walk...

Well, the intern that handled this has surely bungled it up nicely. Hope the separation package includes at least a pack of Hob Nobs until he or she can find another job.

@ShogunRok how does it run? I seem to remember the original MHW had some frame-pacing issues. Have those been sorted out from the get-go with this expansion? Did you get to see how it runs on standard PS4 as well?

@rjejr I always think that Knack is a reincarnation of Sony's early PlayStation mascot 'Polygon Man'...
So, yeah, he should totally be in PSASBR2

@andreoni79 Thanks for the recommendations, I'm getting a gaming laptop in about 3 weeks so I will give these a try. Thanks again.

May be worth a go on a slow day. I've never played a point and click game, but I'm willing to try. The visual style is particularly appealing to me.
Thanks for the review Rebecca.

@LN78 Yes, I'm in Barbados, we had only a brief graze with Dorian last week when it was a Tropical Storm, no major damage thank goodness. I can't imagine what people in the Bahamas are going through now, I really wish the best for them.
Thanks for asking

@Rash seen the reviews and can confirm it's a banger of a game, have you?

That means that Uncharted multiplayer for the original games will be gone forever, because the Nathan Drake Collection on PS4 has no multiplayer component at all. That kinda sucks for anyone that might have wanted to go back and experience the multiplayer on PS3, but I guess all (good? I never had a PS3...) things must come to an end.

They're both firmly in my library, so I'll tackle them sometime down the line.

I've taken to playing RDR2 single player in first person mode.
I play GT Sport, and any racing or driving game, from the driver's perspective (cockpit view) if available.
So I have no problem with a First Person-only player perspective in CyberPunk 2077. I'll gladly play it like that.

@oatmealwarrior92 all the best and stay as safe as possible, Dorian looks set to do some major damage.

This may be unpopular, but the truth is that servers cost money to upkeep, and as rich as these companies may be, there is a finite amount of funds dedicated to keeping the servers for storage and hosting of older games. The only way that you can be virtually guaranteed to have access to a game is to have it on a physical disc. Even those have finite shelf lives, and if you live in a tropical climate like I do, well, the chances of that disc being playable in 5-10 years go down drastically. I've seen genuine movie DVD's and Blu-Rays (no burned copies) that I've bought in the last 10 years, that I've played maybe ONCE or twice since new, turn into a blotchy, unplayable mess even when they've been stored in the original plastic cases in cool (well, as cool as it can get, no air conditioning), dry environments out of direct sunlight. Not to mention a system that may be working when put into storage may not be working when taken out in 10 years.

I haven't played a Batman game since my Sega Genesis days, so yeah, I'm stoked!

Hmm, last time I checked, there were quite a few new-in-the-plastic physical copies of DriveClub floating around at the local game stores here. There were also used copies of the game on sale, so anyone here that wants to buy the game should be well covered. The fact that the game will now be gimped because the DLC is no longer available to anyone that wants it is worrying though.
Is this what the future holds for games like GT Sport in the next 3-4 years?

It's a shame that we never got a follow-up to this game this generation. I think it could have become the PS4's answer to Xbox's Forza Horizon series. Hopefully another Sony studio brings it back for PS5.

Me:
'A new Resident Evil game': 🤯😃
'It's co-op...': 🙁😑

@KnightWolf I get you, I too prefer to keep my disc based games, when Ratchet & Clank was part of PS Plus months ago, I already have my copy on disc and will be keeping it to play again next generation.

Cool, been waiting for this to be announced for a while now. I'll make this a Christmas gift to myself when the time is right. Only dilemma now is do I buy it digitally, or do I get it on disc. I prefer to have my games on disc, but I suspect it's going to be $170 or more here 😥

@KnightWolf sell disc + snag PS Plus version = profit 4 u 😉💰

I've not heard much buzz about this one. Hopefully it's better than Life of Black Tiger, I'm totally getting those vibes from the trailer, just with slightly better graphics.

@SaucyBrotato Lol I know, I was just trying to be facetious, thanks mate.

I played the Genesis version of Aladdin back in the day and loved it. What is this "Mega Drive" you all are talking about 🤣 I'd be so down for a remaster of these games, it's been an age since I last saw them.

Can't wait to see more of TLOU Pt. II

What is with these major releases launching with such serious framerate issues? I love gaming, but I can't deal with stuttering gameplay and hard crashes, especially when most studios* should know without question what the hardware is capable of at this point in the generation.
*Kinda giving Remedy a minor break here since this is their first game on a PlayStation platform in a while.

That's a good likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger, I wonder how much they had to pay him and the studio that does Terminator to use his mug. Also, Shang Tsung's face looks like he's been having one too many late night burgers at the Netherworld branch of McDonalds.

Hallelujah.
I've been waiting on this since the base game launched last year. I'll definitely be getting this, maybe as a Christmas gift to myself.

I love those Titanium Blue and Rose Gold controllers.

I haven't seen that much fog and polygon mesh fade/pop-in since PlayStation 1.

Seems they should consider renaming the game No Man's Redemption...2.0

@wiiware you're right. We won't have this problem... it may be worse, since game file and patch file sizes will likely be even larger.
