There are rumours going around that wired had the information and were going to leak it so gave Sony a chance to work with them first. Would explain why it was done in this fashion I think Sony just wants to stay in front of the information presented without leaks ruining things.

This is the best call I remember the PS4 launch, the first year was very slow for games b/c would of been useful then.

@KALofKRYPTON I don't think either this or EDF 5 are getting physical releases I am sure I read somewhere its digital only in the west. The price is a little over the top I would say £30 is a more reasonable price as they are not AAA games but not a budget title either.

Will pick this up at some stage seems very pricey at the moment, I am sure EDF 5 was cheaper on release.

The lost bear is very good game if a bit short. I would also suggest polyibus it’s always overlooked

@playstation1995 Its obvious you think there legendary but that's just you the wider gaming audience wouldn't class them as legendary. They werent the first to bring hard games back Tecmo were doing that with the Ninja Gaiden series so your From software bringing back hard games is way off the mark.

@playstation1995 Have you got the sales figures to back that up? Do you work for Activision to know how many copies sold they consider satisfactory? I wouldn't call from Software legendary they have a cult status but there far from legendary in my eyes they have there niche which they do well but being in that niche stops them being legendary. Least I know you wont be complaining if there is no Sekiro 2 word up son

@playstation1995 Question for you if adding an easy mode in Sekiro got them enough sales so they could make Sekiro 2 would you still complain?

Seeing as the publisher is Activision could feasibly happen.

@playstation1995 You know its hard I know its hard but I would guess at least 95% of Playststions customer base don't read websites like this to know its hard so there will be a lot of people seeing it on shelves and thinking that looks good getting it home and finding out for themselves about the difficulty. People need to remember we are in the minority not every PS4 owners read gaming websites often.

Shows how bad Anthem has bombed. Not even in top 20 a month later

@playstation1995 Where did you get your console from that forces you to play on easy you must have a very special console. Nobody is saying they should make the game easier by default just have the option to play on an easier difficulty. So you can still play Sekiro on the normal difficulty.

@Dubya75 True gaming is a business so why not put accessibility and difficulty options in? It doesn't cost to much extra and will gain you more sales more sale mean more money. I wonder how many more sales Sekiro would of got with a difficulty option I would have a vague estimate of an extra 10%

In my opinion I cant see having more options is a bad thing, it would most likely increase sales. Surely it could be a simple case of putting things like costumes, gun skins, trophies or concept art behind tasks done on the intended difficulty so people still have the sense of accomplishment they so crave for beating these games. Then it will let other people just enjoy the story.

@tomassi I have regularly seen Agents of Mayhem for £2.99 brand new and Just Cause 3 was free on Ps plus a while ago. But I do agree if you happy to wait you can grab some great bargains digitally. I have picked up Dragons Crown and Odin Sphere for around a tenner each. Last sale Sherlock Holmes game was £5.

@JJ2 I didn’t think it was that convoluted but basically people that defend every Sony action and dismiss any differing point of view. You are correct good and bad feedback are needed but dismissing everyone’s bad feedback that they are toxic or trolls is just burying your head in the sand in my opinion. I have made some feedback last few days not seems you once agree with anything negative you just seem to dismiss everyone’s problems. Even if you do disagree with everything I say I don’t think I deserve to be called toxic

@JJ2 But ignoring all criticism and thinking Sony can do no wrong and that they have no problems although not toxic is not productive either.

@AdamNovice I get your point but could be argued the other extreme of Sony can do no wrong which some people posts come across including some of yours is not level headed.

You write off a lot of issues as non issues but they are issues for a lot of people even if they are not for you. As I have said these are slowly adding up.

I agree the presentation style was very good but surely you have to admit its a little disappointing that after not hearing much from Sony for 9 months or so they didnt announce mid to large new game something akin to a puppeteer or Medievil also no news what so ever on Dreams. Dreams could be one of the biggest game changers but I feel Sony are doing it a massive disservice so far.

@AdamNovice But surely sites like this are good to bring up debate. Just because you thought State of Play was great doesn't mean other people did. I am a big Sony fan have been since the PS1 but I thought State of Play was poor and I have PSVR so am I wrong and shouldn't post on this site because that's not your view? I am glad your happy with everything Sony are doing but to me these niggling issues are adding up. Sony had a great year last year but do think they are taking there eye of the ball with PS4 which probably is understandable with the PS5 just round the corner.

guess this is why the didnt announce it in the state of play as would of brought more hate. Neither of them interest me but I suppose these kinda games would be good for plus smaller AA games that you probably overlook. With the state of play focusing a lot on PSVR it would of been nice to throw and PSVR game in each month or every other month.

Out of all the VR games they showed last night I think this looked the dullest.

“We have a vision to be the World’s Greatest Games Company,”
If we’re honest with ourselves, we’re not there right now.

But it definitely isn't our fault in upper management we came up with the great idea of micro-transacting games to death and gamers love us for it.

Some people dont live in the real world and quick to blame anyone but themselves.

Why do Axel and Blaze look like they have either being eating doughnuts constantly or been hitting steroids pretty hard!

The format was good the game choices let it down. It was nice to see VR support but the balance to Standard Ps4 games and indies was way off. This is the first time we have heard from Sony since E3 and they needed a biggish announcement even if it was just announcing whatever bluepoint is working on or even a 1 minute clip of Final Fantasy 7 Remake gameplay just to show it still exists. With Sony skipping E3 and no PSX last year it gives the impression the PS4 is limping its way to the PS5 announcement. I am sure thats not the case and they have some stuff it would of been nice to see something. Seems Medievil and Dreams dont get very much love from Sony they are hardly shown.

Pretty poor if I am honest and I have vr so was nice to see some time given to that but was expecting a bit more something big announcement like bluepoints game

Been tempted a couple of times to pick up PS now if it comes to UK at a good price I may bite this time.

@Kekropes04 Rayman legends has already been on Ps Plus
I would guess if Last of Us 2 release date is announced tonight they may give Last of Us remastered away at the same time.

@Nyne11Tyme I presume you mean Everybodys Golf? If so its already been announced in Japan so it should make its way over

Its about time Sony have been very quiet since E3 would be nice to see some of concrete genie and some VR stuff like Everybodys golf VR and Blood and Truth

@get2sammyb Maybe Randy needs to rustle up some money to pay his lawyers

Had it hard crash on me weirdly it hard crashed when I tried to close the application. Did have me worried it had bricked my PS4 had to pull plug out of back in the end. One of the many reasons I sold it in the end.

@tomassi
Well they have a lot of there own games they could of given away a quick list of the top of my head
Infamous Second Son
Killzone
Everybodys Golf
Knack 2
Horizon
The Order
Last of Us Remastered
Gravity Rush 1 or 2
Drive club
Wipeout
Last Guardiann
Any one of the unchartered remasters
Plus quite a few VR titles

Anyone of these would of been a good addition and I would personally say not unrealistic games maybe exception of Horizon and they wouldn't have had to do a deal with a publisher

@ellsworth004 Yeah I meant Hitman series one missed a comma. Its a great game even though I am rubbish at it

Doesn't really solve my main issue with the loot. It was very dull with not much variety think there were only 3 or 4 guns in each category and you just get different colour versions of them. And you only get the cool guns when your nearly max level. At least in Destiny you got quite a few Legendarys and a couple of exotics when you were low level.

Hasn't The Witness been on GWG as well so if you subscribe to both it would be very disappointing. Already have The Witness its a decent enough game but has been on sale a lot. I would say last months PS4 games were a lot better value and selection. For Honor and Hitman, 2 high profile recentish games. If there plan is to keep it to 2 games a month they kinda needed to go big this month. I would possibly say they should of swapped this February's and March's games around.

Bit disappointed no VR game already have the Witness. For the first time in months and months think games with gold has the better selection for next month.

You can see there is potential in the game its just the mind boggling decisions they made on stuff that really lets it down. Its like they either never looked and games like borderlands or destiny or looked at them and said we have to do the complete opposite of what they have done. In 12 months this could be a really good game if EA let Bioware fix it properly but I think I feel like most people in that EA wont let that happen.

I reckon everybody's golf could be in with a shout. The Order would be good wouldnt mind giving that a second go as fell off it quickly first time. Would like a VR game to replace the loss of PS3 and Vita games.

I only bought it cause I got it for £30 and knew I could probably sell it for same price if I didnt like it. Not many games I buy digitally day one due to the excessive cost and the inability to resell. There is a good game in there somewhere just multiple mind boggling decisions they made let it down in my opinion will probably finish the campaign then sell as long as I can muster up the will power to do those challenge road block.

Would be nice to see them doing something with all these studios they have purchased surely there should be something they can announce even if its HD remasters of old games.

when i briefly glanced at the headline thought it was going to be a remake or remaster of the PS2 game Haven Call of the King. That seems like a genre that has died from ps2 era the cartoony action platformers stuff like Kya, Haven and Legend of Kay.

I do wonder what the sales figures look for games like this one and the handball games. I did like summer heat beach volleyball on PS2.

Hopefully the price point doesn't sting!

@busbym22 Strongholds are not raids, they are the equivalent of strikes in Destiny.

@ShogunRok I feel the same some very odd design choices as well like the Fort Tarsis stuff being in first person and so slow to move. I am leaning towards keeping my pre-order as I got it at a reduced price but if I was paying full price would probably skip it. Most of my Destiny buddies are getting it so that's another plus as I wouldn't get this if I was playing solo.

Will hopefully give it another go sometime this weekend to decide whether to keep my pre-order wasn't overly impressed last weekend but will give it one more shot.

Reading the blog post it makes it sound like this is the last month for Ps3 and Vita games

Very good month I have been tempted on multiple occasions to get Hitman after watching Giant bombs streams of the game I always thought I would be bad at it so always talked myself out of it now I have no excuses not to try it

My thoughts were its Destiny with worst shooting but better looking world. I agree the Fort Tarsis stuff was slow and dull seemed a strange decision to do that in first person mode. The gunplay was ok nothing special Destiny's is so much better. Moving on to the loot the guns seemed a bit meh to me didnt really feel very futuristic just standard assault rifles, snipers, shotguns and hand cannons. But as this was early in the game the cool guns could come near the end of the game at higher levels think they missed a trick by not giving you a legeandary/exotic level gun to play around with to show the potential.

The flying was fun and the world look good. I played with 3 Mass effect lovers and they all were commenting on how it was a lot like Mass effect and they were liking it. So it seems if you love Mass Effect you will likely like Anthem.

Even if they are test prices why put them in so high. I suppose they cant win either way if they were low and leaked people would say they jacked up the price at launch. But would seem to me they have considered these prices at some stage.

These seem to fluctuate quite a lot. I presume whenever there is good deals on PSVR then the demand for the controllers go up so in a couple months time the prices should come down again.
