@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare it is a shame they could not at least add it to the catalogue as "coming soon", much like how Game Pass does. Gives the user that little prompt that it is coming eventually
One thing to note: The Plucky Squire, which launches as a day one PS Plus title, will be available to download from 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 5pm BST / 6pm CEST.
It would be nice if they added a count down on the store page like with pre orders
I have never played any of these games but I fired up the first one and I have no idea what to do. It throws you into a level and I was told to find something.
The Plucky Squire and Night in the Woods for me! Played Night in the Woods when it was on Game Pass and really enjoyed it. Highly recommend it, especially this time of year π
I have always said that Play Room is the best PS5 experience and I am glad this is living up to it. Will definitely pick this up at a later date when it is a little cheaper. Can imagine there will be hundreds of copies in CeX in a month (thanks to the Plat and Sell crew lol)
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare we are 4 years into this current generation cycle and we have yet to see anything original from Naughty Dog. Since the PS3 days, I always saw them as "the PS Studio", the ones that really showed off the hardware tech. It has been Insomniac Games doing all the current leg work in this generation.
It is a real shame. They do have some great talent at their studios but they all seem to be working on huge budget games that will not see the light of day until 8 years after concept. Just glad there are plenty of Indie games to fill the gaps
I know that they have the new Astro Bot game coning out, but have Sony/PlayStation shown off anything new coming soon? Something to get gamers excited and hopefully forget this disaster.
I am very out of the loop with gaming atm, but I remember a time where we seemed to always know what was coming in the next 6-12 months? I know they shot themselves in the foot a few times by accounting games way to early but they did become better at it.
@Oz_Who_Dat_Dare with how long it takes to make games now, I am always amazed that in one generation, Naughty Dog churned out Uncharted 1,2,3 and The Last of Us! We even got 3 Infamous games, 3 Resistance games, 2 Killzone games etc...
You could see the shift starting to happen during the PS4, but Sony had more Studios to fill gaps.
This game is not for me as hero shooters are not my thing but I feel bad for the entire development team. What was it? 8 years in development (probably a few of them coming up with the main concept) and this is the response they get. When I checked the numbers this morning, it was less than 100!
@breakneck I think it is a lot more noticeable in the PSN sales because of the trophy games which have separate releases for PS4 and PS5. I am quite thankful for the Wishlist feature
An urban RPG? Now that is a genre I cannot said I have heard of before. I've only heard of Genshin Impact and from what I understand, it can suck you in if you are not careful. I don't think I will be trying it after reading your review. The one thing I have trouble dealing with in f2p games is just the amount of systems/currency to learn
@Voltan yes, the early access for Plus members. Was reading the blog and it said β Just look for the option to download and play the beta when you boot up your PS5.β Thatβs what I was looking for on my PS5 π
But after another re read of the post, I assume it will be 10am PDT along with the pre order folks π
@riceNpea I agree, revealing it before Chistmas/Holidays with a future (2025) release day would destroy any console sales, as some may wait.
If my memory serves me well... I remember that Sony use to do full announce hardware release dates during Gamescom. I certainly remember the PS3 Slim getting a price and date. And that came out the same year, just in time for the holidays.
It may sound silly, but imagine if Sony are holding out to find out when the Switch 2 comes out. As I am sure that would kill everything in it's path π
I am glad to see Sony back at the TGS and will be interested to see what they bring, because in the past this is where they usually show off their more "quirky" games from Studios long gone...
If they were updating it, fine. But don't do it during an event in which has Star challenges and items! It is like a betting site doing upgrades during the Euros! π
I was really against the Portal when it was announced but I ended up picking one up. And I love it! I am playing games a lot more now! Good to see it getting updates.

Re: Astro Bot PS5 Sales 'Aren't Huge' in UK, But There's Still Hope

Re: PS5 Pro Announced, Costs $700 and Out in November
Β£700?! +Β£100 is you want the disc drive?
This is really for the high end users.
@NoNameLad the PS6 will easily be Β£600 minimum.
Re: Sony Increases PS5 Controller Prices in US, Europe, and More
