I honestly can't find any reason to re-up. I prefer single player and the only live-service always-online type games I play are now FTP.

I would love to see RE7's VR mode upgraded for PSVR2.

@Nepp67 Coulda been Redfall...

Whooooooaaaaaa.....wait now, what is this? And why on earth wasn't THIS in the Showcase? This looks freaking AWESOME!

I would be targeting their propensity for Third Party exclusive contracts. Even when timed they still have a devastating effect on all competition.

I honestly don't know why I bothered getting a PS5...

@pumpkin_head To each his own. I'm a little surprised at the streaming only aspect of this hardware. Seems very out of touch with the current market. I'll stick to my Steamdeck as my primary portable. This thing just seems totally superfluous.

This is dumb and pointless. Even on fiber you still have some latency issues thru wifi 6 in the best case scenario. At least the earbuds look OK. Especially if they work thru the PS5 natural Bluetooth with no dongle.

PS5 U is a non-starter for me.

This looks like the entire game. In VR. THAT would be incredible! And please, please update RE7 to PSVR2.

I squealed when I saw the shadow drop. I've never played VR before PSVR2. Squeeeeeee!

Until the Spiderman 2 gameplay, this was the big announcement for me. MGS last console it was available on was the Vita/PS3. So thrilled to have this coming to PS5!

Rofl. Good lord that's a LOT of moderated comments.

Looks like every other current quasi-fantasy action game. Pretty, but uninteresting. Worse is whatever the Web3 tie-in is. Wonder if Square has already filed the copyright lawsuit over the blatant use of the Chrono clock. Or if they are somehow owned by Square.

Glad for new PS5 owners. It was weird how they set it up previously. You had to own Miles Morales, then go into that game, to upgrade Spiderman for 10 bucks or so, within the game menu. Made no sense to me.

Best 20$ DLC of a AAA game in recent memory.

Hrmmmm a downward spiraling economy, in the middle of the greatest cost of living increase increase in decades and inflation run rampant. So people are daring to be choosy about their entertainment? /gasp
@Allfather How dare those poor gamers choose to eat and keep the lights on!

Beat Saber
IronMan
Skyrim VR
Star Wars Squadrons
Batman Arkham VR
Resident Evil 7

I love the PsVR2 but I would really enjoy it more with some port upgrades. And hopefully more studios will follow Capcom in adding a VR mode for FPS games. I'd do bad things for Alien: Isolation or the Metro series in VR.

Can you imagine if Nintendo released TotK like this? With 'weeks' worth of patches? The biggest news this week is which game is worse, Jedi or Redfall. Good lord, what a sorry state the AAA game industry is.

I've never liked the idea of Netflix gaming. Demo's are great. Old school Blockbuster or Redbox game rentals are still good, especially if you're just not sure or it's a very short game. I have a personal dislike of monthly subscriptions. Recently I managed to get down to only one, specifically for the kids and zero gaming subs. The console tax is just too high. NSO with its 2 tier overprice for games I already have. PS+ with its weird 3 tier system and stupid low back compatibility list has zero value to me. Game Pass has a ton of value, but it recently lost the long term gain with Gold losing 360 games (which are yours forever). I realize Gold and GP are technically separate, until Xbox started auto-converting gold subs into GamePass. Even still, even if I just went Gold and have it converted, it still has low value. I already own everything I want to play. And owning them removes the subscription compulsion that comes with the monthly payment. I have a Steamdeck now. That removes most issues for online play when the mood strikes me.

Did the entire story of the expansion and still finding things to do. 20+hours for 20$. It's pretty great.

My poor Ole Steamdeck is gonna cry.

I'll agree to disagree. I had a couple of instances where Aloy blurted out the hint when I had just walked into range of whatever it was. They need to bake in a simple delay of say 10 seconds before she starts giving up hints.

Well he's never gonna get hired at Xbox now...

Maybe this time it won't have terrible launch timing.

Thought it was a little short and rushed for the main quest. But it was still an enjoyable 6 hours-ish. The new Critters were fun, if sparse.

Also: I didn't see a single thing that put it league's above the original or why it couldn't make it to the PS4. So I empathize with those who have yet to upgrade.

May have been a tiny bit rushed, but it did have a natural evolution with their dynamic. Also, kinda tired of peoples need for this to be talked about in some sort of 'OMG can you believe it' sort of way.

When in doubt, throw more codes at it. Let the gamers deal with the storage.

What the...ok thats a dumb and weird choice for dlc. Clearly niche targeting the biggest Tolkein fans.

It's an amazing creation engine that would always be niche. With all Dreams creations being owned by MM there wasn't much incentive for additional work by aspiring game creators.

I'd swear ND used Iron Galaxy on Uncharted for the PC port and said, 'Hey, we can do that too!' Then brought in IG a month ago to help when TLOU got delayed. I almost feel bad for IG.

It's certainly the most dramatic place to play.

The current Gambit on the Zodiac version is great. The original was a pita but still way ahead of it's time. Weird tho, I thought FF7 Remake Part 2 was due this year. Not sure if he's hyping or shooting for Part 3 with a mistranslation.

That size is probably the PS4 and PS5 sizes together. For some reason that total size is the common one listed on the PS Store.

I have precisely 0.000% interest in anything cloud only. Steamdeck is my Sony platform of choice.

They really blew it and just keep doubling down on bad press.

That said, I can get it going at a near stable 30fps on Deck currently. It doesn't look SUPER terrible, more akin to the PS3 release, but little things like unreadable signs and so forth kinda irk me. The gameplay is still there tho.

Someone's a little grouchy today. As I recall, Horizon launched on PC in a similarly rough state but was patched up. Sackboy still gets new build releases. Most PC titles get major updates. I'm not saying you're wrong about the quality, but take it down a notch. Naughty Dog didn't smite you personally.

Playing it on Steamdeck...hard to deny, but it's rough. The fps is all over the place. There's no optimization done. Even the default mode is barely playable with about 20fps, before dropping settings further. I've read there's a bad memory leak in the DLL, but I've only just started with it. Uncharted is in verified status and plays terrific, not sure why or how TLoU went so poorly. Should have been an easy hype release. I'm still waiting for Ghost of Tsushima and the 2022 release of Horizon and GoW. Ghost especially. I'm sure GT7 will be in there a some point, but it's online always style is a non-starter for me.

Steamdeck is the Vita 2.0 for me. I've picked up most every Sony exclusive released on PC and enjoy them again, portably. Most are flawless and can at least run at Ps4/Pro level, allbeighit with a huge battery drain cost. But I use it for most all of my gaming these days.

Picking up Tchia for my daughter. Looks an adorable BotW for kids.

@johnny30 there's some simple etiquette in dungeons, especially FF, that everyone appreciates. If it's your first time, just say so as the dungeon is starting. And uhhh, I wouldn't recommend leaving in the middle of a dungeon to grab a bite. Dungeons are usually about 20-30 minutes max as is. But that is generally accepted as rude behavior and will get you kicked. FF is a far more laid back community, but still, respect the other 3 people's time in the dungeon.

@johnny30 In 6+ years I think I met one genuinely Toxic/elitist player in FF. It has one of the most tolerant and patient communities for an MMO. WoW, by comparison, is vastly the opposite. Even if Dragonflight is decent. The community is not.

Long as it's a Games as a Service Online only/always, I have zero interest. You can delay it to Kingdom Come and it won't polish this turd a bit.

Think it's the 5th time this season that an episode ends with Joel and Ellie sneaking away with no one noticing or bothering to pursue much. Pretty faithful adaptation despite the lacking Sawmill horde scene.

Lol. Such troll-bait.

I was thinking Rory McCann the guy who played Dog. But his age may not have worked. Pascal is...fine. He has the soft-side down. But I've yet to see the brutish side of Joel.

@QualityGeezer A much younger version, sure. But Pascal has yet to impress me as Joel either. The next two episodes will probably determine my interest level in Season 2. The David episode and the finale in the Hospital.

Meh. Pass. It was ok-ish.

@QualityGeezer Elliot Page never played Ellie. Common misconception. It was the versatile Ashley Johnson.

This is the closest they have come to a 1-1 translation of the game content. Excellent episode and performances. Even if I'm still not quite sold on Bella as Ellie, you can see her getting more comfortable with her embodiment of the role.

Watched the trailer...very meh.
Sure did make Guardians of the Galaxy look amazing tho! I'll play that instead, with better combat, no battle pass or online requirement. I'd bet my house SS gets delayed. No way they wanna go up against Zelda and then Diablo 4 in June.
