I absolutely loved firewater so, at that price, I highly recommend it.

Also for those teetering on robocop, absolutely worth it at the at price. It plays like an old school fps and the physics are so over the top it's hilarious. Nothing like Exploding heads and groin shots in between throwing baddies through windows.

I really loved this game

@themightyant that's a good shout. I'm gonna hold off for the midnight black one and I may well go for an online purchase to try it out

@themightyant the problem i have is one of my kids will no doubt claim it 😂.

I am genuinely considering it though. I suppose my issue at the minute is time as we are lucky to have various consoles dotted round the house but its finding the spare time to use them. Having a device on hand that let's me carry on my play throughs while away from the console will give me more time to enjoy my games. I take my switch with me when I'm away with work and previously, before cloud was available, the portal didn't seem to like linking to a console outside your home.

I am leaning though. I haven't actually tried one myself so that maybe the tipping point for me.

And that midnight black one is very easy on the eye...

I saw absolutely no value when they announced the portal. Just seemed utterly pointless. Happy to hold my hands up on it and say I was wrong. So wrong in fact that, since they added streaming, I am very very tempted to pick one up.

@Loamy it's such a weird mindest isn't it. Avowed isn't really peaking my interest but I can appreciate it's still a decent game. I may try it at some point and still think it's not for me. I may end up loving it. These people must miss out on so much.

Folks just expect everything and they expect it immediately. Others just want to be grumpy.

Sadly a lot of them have the Internet these days.

You get one side that hates everything just because it's on one particular box. The other side so blinkered that you could have a blank screen and they'd call it a revelation.

I'm just happy to see new games. Do I like them all, no. But there is plenty on the way to guarantee I will like some of them. Which is what we want isn't it, games we enjoy.

I've had my eye on this for a bit. My youngest is keen and it looks like gta for 8 year old, which sounds kinda fun

@ChrisDeku state of play is pretty recorded so, in theory, it can be as long as they want it to be. It's only themselves that sets the time limit.

@themightyant I'm with you on release dates. We got into a cycle were games were announced before there existed anything to actually show at one point. Then it's years of development before we get them. Id much rather see something and then be told it's coming in a shorter time frame.

On that note, the one thing that stood out to me from the state of play last night was that all games bar one (at least that i can think of) were given 2025 release dates. While I wasn't interested in every game, it was nice to have such a short timeframe consistently before they release.

Didn't realise this worked in VR as well. Good stuff.

Gave me an Abes Oddesy vibe.

@SoulReaper-72 you can pick up the ps4 disc pretty cheap and just get the upgrade. I would also like a native physical release but this is kinda half way.

@themightyant the first few hours are a little slow but stick with it and it will surprise you. Especially once your bikes upgraded.

Rahul Kohli is a good guy as well so happy to see him in this

@get2sammyb I'm with you man. Slow start but brilliant when it gets going. The actual world is lovely to explore as well.

@BamBamBaklava89 hugs brother.

@BamBamBaklava89 hey, don't drag me into this

The real question is do you think phil spencer will pop up.

I'm fully expecting to be dissapointed with this as its been a constant theme of these things recently. Happy to be wrong as that means there's good stuff on the way, but yeah. Going in low feels like it's for the best.

There is a lot of grown ass people throwing their toys out over one day.

It's hardly the end of the world is it.

Sold. And some other words because the word sold is to short apparently. Way to give it a complex you judgey bunch.

I cannot wait for this and the more they keep it like the originals, we'll, the better it will be.

@Titntin this is my thoughts, however you made the point far more eloquently than I could muster.

@ATaco Gamepass in its current format will never be on PS. Simply because of 3rd party games. Sony wouldn't want to lose the sales from any 3rd party game that's on GP.

Now, a MS only version similair to EA or Ubisoft, that I can see happening.

I suppose folks will just have to, erm, entertain themselves until it arrives.

@K1LLEGAL Let's not forget that while Spiderman used to be multiplatform, it was offered as exclusive to Microsoft to develop before Sony. An offer they declined. So it was offered to Sony and the rest is history.

@graymamba he has sold his series x at least three times by my count.

@Rich33 completley agree. You are also correct in that it was a COD dev I believe that made that comment. Something to do with how PSSR interacts with noise filters that took one person half an hour to clear up.

@DennisReynolds @Rich33 I probably should have been clearer in my comment as it wasn't intended to be a dig at Sony, just a thought that made me chuckle.

I know some use pssr really well, it's still just weird seeing the xbox logo pop up. Especially when it's likely they will get a boost. Strange times was more the point I intended over anything.

@themightyant and this is the main reason I picked up the pro. The back end of the generation is likely where it will start to shine through, rather than existing titles getting it added.

Similar to you, i will likely dip into a few months of gamepass to check them out and, if there's any i really enjoy, pick them up at a discount for the pro later down the line.

It would be quite entertaining if a MS studio managed to get PSSR running better than one of Sonys own.

@Fritz167 I know. I was just making a (poor) joke about when everybody was insisting it was Kojima being sneaky.

@Fritz167 you mean Hideo Kojimas new game? 😉😂

@nessisonett this is more likely due to most of this generation both Sony and MS have been kicking the ball in their own net. MS just seem to be ahead on the score sheet at the minute.

What an utter waste of these studios and ip. The whole gaming world is in the absolute pits idea wise these days.

I'm slowly becoming tempted by a portal. Slowly.

Updating to the latest version of PSSR is interesting. Wonder if this will be rolled into other games and what affect it will have.

Utter legend. Good luck in whatever you choose to do. Thanks for the good times.

Is this the one that is due to get a demo soon or am I thinking about something else.

@Mostik it's kind of ironic that Prince of Persia broke the Ubi design pattern, pretty much received universal praise and they decided to cancel a sequel and go back to the rinse and repeat formula they always get called on.

It's a pity it wasn't picked up by more people as its a real gem. I imagine they either see Ubisoft and pass or just decide to wait for the inevitable sale down the line.

@StonyKL I was delighted at simple minds but your wishlist has made sad now that I can't have that instead.

Jim seems to be entering his bill Murray era with the films he does. Bill set up a number and answer machine. Film folk leave voicemails with pitches on and he occasionally checks the vm's. If anything stands out he gets in touch. If not he just leaves the machine on again.

Happy new year folks 🍻

@Notzdarva we shall see, we shall see.

Can you imagine the reaction when this inevitably gets delayed.

Still wakes the deep is superb. I cannot recommend it enough. Helldivers 2 is probably my number 1 this year also. I'm not into PvP games at all so having something i can co-op endlessly with friends is absolute gold. It also helps that it plays superbly and, most importantly, is damn good fun.

Muppets. Muppets everywhere.
