Let's be honest, Tom Warren should be a professional but he doesn't behave like one. He is a shill with a salaried job.

He better get used to it as in 2025 he’s going to be playing a lot more Xbox games on PlayStation!

@johncalmc Hi John. Does this begin where the original game begins or does it now include the prologue that was added for The Director's Cut?

Does the music sound clearer than in the original PC game?

FFVII Rebirth launched just 7 months after FFXVI.
There will have been an overlap of customers and buying two huge FF games and then completing them would’ve been too much for some people. The games should have been better spaced out.

@nessisonett There was no restriction or console exclusive arrangement to keep it off Xbox, however the reason it hasn’t been released there is because Black Myth is resource intensive, and Microsoft’s Series X/S parity clause meant a Series S version could not be completed in time for launch.

Bleat-em-up!

Genius.

I’m wondering how this happened and the PC edition info would be put on the totally separate PlayStation store - did Rockstar send the wrong copy?

@Frmknst There’s a joy to be had from seeing old favourites but Obi-wan pretty much killed it for me. I will agree with you on Andor, I was surprised that I found it superb and it demonstrated what an original story in the universe could be.

The Disney sequels to Star Wars were sacrilege - however I’m looking forward to giving the Lego game a go. I have fond memories of playing Lego Star Wars the Complete Saga on 360 back before the characters could speak!

FALL?
What the hell is fall? Push Square you are British bloggers catering to a UK and international audience so why not address everyone and write Autumn/Fall!

I haven’t played Elden Ring, but surely the people who are finding the DLC difficult shouldn’t be too surprised after completing the original game?

All good, but what’s the point of looking forward to the poster and comic if their surprise has been spoiled as they’ve been revealed here?!

I would’ve like to see a full press event - but I’ll take what I can get!

This story has actually made me laugh. Unhappy gamers instead of leaving angry Steam reviews are going to Phil Spencer’s online home and blowing it up. On one hand it’s petty, but on the other I get it!

@KundaliniRising333 I had Skyrim PS4 installed on my PS5. When the new-gen update was released it installed a separate PS5 version. For a while I had both a PS4 and PS5 version installed! The PS5 version did not carry over my trophies.

@LiamCroft it’s a new trophy list, but will the earned PS4 trophies transfer to the PS5 list as happened with Spider-man Remastered?

Surely Sea of Thieves is a free game or will Microsoft charge for it?

I'll wait until the PS5 Pro patch.

Are there any Spider-Man 2 or Venom avatars available yet?

PS5 "improved a whopping 126 per cent year-on-year"

"It was a good period for all platform manufacturers with Xbox Series X|S up four per cent year-over-year."

That's some low-key cussing! 😆

Immature boys who are digging themselves deeper into a hole by talking about job losses as an excuse for their unprofessional behaviour.

Why not say Autumn?

A weird choice of branded controller, will likely be with a lot to collectors in the future.

Does Persona 4 Golden offer 4K 120 like the Xbox Series X version or is this version still the gimped version?

Can you imagine smashing your expensive console because a third-party game for it has a similar visual style to another game?!!

@Cikajovazmaj Definitely. The recent price drop is about increasing the userbase fast. Maybe it’s a reaction to the FXVI sales and it needs to ensure Spider-Man 2’s release maximises units sold.

Nothing wrong with businesses making money but this is a shameful moneygrab in that Take Two is charging full price for a PS4 compatibility fix that should've been free.

If the game was boosted to 4K 60fps (an easy feat) there'd be some justification for charging for those that want it, but as it is this is shameful. I suspect the Metacritic user score won't be positive.

The claimed triumph of Threads is premature.

There is now a close business relationship with Sega. It could be that Microsoft paused negotiations until the ABK deal is complete in cases it jeopardised it.

What’s the explanation for this over half a year after release if there’s no report of new PS5 sales increase?

"Sony has been under intense pressure all generation to make its games available at no extra cost with PS Plus." I disagree with this, Sony has not been under immense pressure. There are media commentators and Xbox people who say day-and-date is the way forward because it would then legitimise the Xbox strategy.

But when you have games like God of War Ragnarok sell millions of units at launch then you see Sony is right to do its own thing. It means it makes premium games, and then when the time comes that they are released on PS Plus like Ratchett & Clank a Rift Apart and Miles Morales, the 'free' games are perceived to have more value as they were paid for premium games.

Plot twist, they’re actually in talks with Microsoft.

@brn70121 'Dead in the water.' Intentional or not, I like what you did there!

I've heard great things about Bus Simulator 21: Next Stop!

@CRASH64 Actually, an excellent comment.

Good headline because it makes clear that it's a minority stake.

‘Fall’? You mean Autumn.

"Good guy Phil?"

@Voltan I was thinking the same thing.

I can’t believe after Sony spent so much on Bungie it missed a bargained-priced opportunity to proclaim ‘she’s coming home, Lara’s back where she belongs!’

@Angelus3K The way I interpret it is if you claim it then it will remain in your collection.

The PlayStation Blog article says "GTA Online will be available to download and keep for free,* an exclusive offer for PlayStation 5 players."
