I didn't mind the previous game it wasn't great but passed an evening with my partner, but did get free with PS plus extra. I am not sure I would have the same opinion if i had to pay for it!

It just seems with a lot of Sony things at the moment it has been done in a half hearted way. Take the showcase, PS Plus premium and PSVR 2 it feels they are not really commiting to any of it. PS plus extra is the only thing Sony seem to be putting any effort into recently.

I loved my PSVR but at the moment have no interest in 2 due to cost, lack of backwards compatabilty and lack of games.

As with most things Sony at the moment this big days of play sale is a bit underwhelming and dissapointing.

I have said it a lot of times but bungie live service model is the worst in the business they took away paid content away from the customers. Yet this site still big them up as saviours. If bungie is in charge of there gaas program then most of them will fail!

@Ichiban Think your being a bit generous with the 3 quarters over half the games announced are remakes, remaster or sequel I count 17 out of 32.

As a general state of play as others have said it was fine but as a playstation show it was terrible. Sony's communication and marketing this gen has been downright baffling.

It smacks of desperation to me to bring back a supposedly dead character.

As there is still some buzz from the TV series you would have thought it was a no brainer to show something about it to keep the buzz going on both game and tv show.

@AdamNovice The problem is sony's communication is so poor at the moment. When we do get a bit of communication a lot of it recently has been about how many Gaas they want to make. They keep harping on about them but not seen a single bit of gameplay from any of them. If they showed some actual gamepaly from some of these games it would least show what Sony counts as a live service game. Its sony's own doing as why the mention of live service gets a negative reaction.

I know from my perspective I was wanting to know what has Sony got lined up after SM2 and that showcase last night didn't answer the question. We didnt need to know everything each studio is working on we just needed a couple a teasers of what is in the pipeline.

I would say Microsoft are the worst for muddying if a game is exclusive or not so hopefully when they do there showcase, they are more transparent this year.

I honestly don't know what Sony's plan is for this generation they seem to be abandoning everything that made them great in the previous generations. Where is the quirky different games, where is the new IPs! If they want to focus on Gaas games at least show us what Sony's vision of one of them is not just a quick CG trailer with no information.

I loved my PSVR but they have not given me one reason to get the PSVR 2 could they not even just throw up an Astrobot 2 logo to get some hype.

This gen seems to have very little creativity its either sequel, remake, remaster or if all else fails make a souls game.

I can only presume Sony are trying to paint themselves as an underdog now if the Microsoft Activision deal goes through which it most likely will one way or another. The microsoft conference will show Starfield and Forza they just need one other big hitter then it will blow Sony's out the water.

@MonkeyNinja506
Fully agree with Ralizah give VIII a go. In my opinion its probaly the best JRPG on PS4.

Good month for me persoanlly with Humanity, Sakuna and the Lake. I do wonder what the deal is with all these Bethesda games last couple of months seems strange all round.

@Ichiban I am with you on this all we seem to be getting is remakes, remasters and sequels at the moment the only studio that did something a little different (Concrete Genie) got shut down. Weirdly xbox is the place to go if you want something a little different with stuff like Scorn, Sea of Thieves, Hi Fi Rush, The Gunk and Grounded. This used to be what Sony were good for.

The funny thing is most people were blaming Activision for there horrible business model. But since the have split from Activision Bungie have got a lot worse scarily Activision were reigning them in!

For people struggling with the map you can pin any point on the map then follow the pin on the compass at the bottom of the screen it makes navigating a lot easier if thats what your struggling with.

@mariomaster96 well if your a savvy shopper you can usually find vouchers or deals on ebay for money off. I ordered Crisis core reunion the week it came out for £35 where preorders were closer to £50. But each to there own with the state a lot of games release in these days I would never pre order.

@mariomaster96 you could still order the game a week before and still get it 1 or 2 days early no need to pre order months in advance. I can understand it for collectors editions and such used to buy a lot of collectors editions in the past then soon found it was usually cheap stuff and didnt have enough space to store it all.

why do people still pre order games? I would have thought that practice would have slowly died out last couple of gens with the increase in digital sales. I can understand on a niche physical game but not huge blockbusters like this.

Still seemed to dark and brown in a lot of places the bits where they did show lush green spaces they did look very nice just didnt really show a lot of them it was like 5 seconds of nice environments 2 more minutes of drab brown and dark environments. I presume this is done to make the lighting effects on spells/special attacks look better. The normal enemies look to spongy which I think will hurt the combat in the end especially if your expected to play 80+ hours of DMC style combat. Overall still not won over I feel this should be a spinoff game.

I think this would be received better if Sony just added an extra line or two saying “we know your waiting for information on other PlayStation games we will have something for you in the coming months” if people knew there was definitely a showcase soon think it would go a long way to help there poor communication recently

Dropped ratings on every ps5 game I had played a good enough chunk of. I was surprised how many games I rated didn't think I had played that many Ps5 games

If your in the UK Currys have Gotham Knights for £9.99 at the moment.

Anyone know what’s happening with the ps plus extra version. I am guessing it will be removed if it’s being delisted. May have to play it soon before it disappears

@Sakisa Totally agree it does seem that sony has bred a bit of snobbery this gen. Vampire survivors is probably one of the few games I would play if I had an xbox. I might be given an xbox one this weekend so maybe able to have a go. Shame there is no word on whether this is coming to Playstion or not.

So they are going to block ad blockers think it would be more wise to be truthful in the matter so people can make an informed decision.

@antdickens Is this going to become a thing on this site? As other sites have done the same would be a shame if here did it too.

That is something Sony is lacking in the last 2 gens the odd wacky games. PS1-3 had some really unique games like Parappa, Poy Poy, Bishi Bashi Special, Pain and Tokyo Jungle just dont see anything like that anymore. Hell I would take a new Buzz game!

From my point of view I loved PSVR 1 but at the moment 2 is too expensive to justify at the moment especially as there are not a lot of games that interest me at the current momemnt. If it released with a new Astrobot game could have been a different story.

Like the look of it but sadly another game developer trying to cash in on the souls like boom. This generation is becoming a bit dull with remakes remasters and souls like making up most of the game these days. Hopefully the souls like era will die soon so we can get a bit of variety back.

Would definitely recommend Sackboy, I can sell my disc copy now. Tails of Iron looked interesting in screenshots then the dreaded words "Souls Like" which has made me lose all interest.

@Beerheadgamer82 you can put pins in the map and follow the direction on the compass. So put a pin on the collectible and follow the compass in the direction the pin on the outside of the compass. It has been working for me

This should be right up my alley, but the actual football gameplay looks really bad!

@KundaliniRising333 I think this review should be taken with a pinch of salt. Not stated in the review but on push square youtube the reviewer was given a load of Destiny merchandise by the PR team at Bungie. So its hard to see this as an impartial review.

I have no idea why this site gives destiny such a free pass on everything. This is £40 for a 5 hour campaign and as far as I read there is one new strike and no crucible changes. There monetisation is one of the worst in the gaming business yet no mention in the review. I think user reviews should be taken into account for this as it’s mainly destiny veterans playing this so I think there views are important.

I have lots of the tables on Pinball fx 3, there is no way I am paying for them all again. Could they not have done a one off upgrade fee say £20 and all the tables you have bought carry over.

Everything they have shown has been very dark which is very worrying. I am worried about my beloved cactuars I think they will be sat in a corner with a black hoodie on cutting themselves with there own needles! The change in combat doesn't bother me I think its the medievil setting and lack of colour, it feels its going after the souls look.

@kyleforrester87
Yeah casual audience was probably the wrong word. But looking back 15 was light on RPG elements. I presume alot could be down to which era you got into final fantasy. Me being the PS1 era when I got into the series clouds my opinions on other eras

@KaijuKaiser
What a bizarre comment you seem very insecure, just because people have a different opinion to you they are "weebs"

I am glad I am not the only one not feeling this entry. Even from the first trailer something didn't sit right with me for this game. Doesn't seem like a final fantasy game to me maybe they are trying to appeal to the more casual audience.

I think the problem for me is Sony have been terrible about there first party line up for 18 months now so you get a state of play like this and you just come away with a feeling of " is that it?" I don't know if it is because Sony have nothing at the moment apart from Spiderman 2 which they haven't bigged up themselves or there playing silly games because of the Activision deal. It just seems Sony first party output is struggling especially when there are rumours of 10 live service games as well! I loved my PSVR 1 and have over 40 games for it but they have done nothing to convince me to buy the PSVR 2. It would just need a 10 second snippet of Astro bot or blood and truth 2 show that there is something cool coming.

Essential selection poor for me this month. Good additions for extra but played most of them. I liked Ghostwire and immortals is a bit of a hidden gem

Personally thought that was quite poor as we haven’t heard from Sony for a while. Still no indication of what there studios are working on

As far as I know they haven't fixed the broken ps5 trophies since the ps5 version launched 8-9 months ago. Used to play this alot but since it went free 2 play not played a single game.

Does the end of the video say we are going to refund you for all the paid content we took away from players? I am gonna guess it will end with give us more money.

Looks like they are finally putting some effort into premium pretty solid month

Sure these changes will lose players rather then gain players. There model is so messed up. darude it’s not just new players it’s returning players they have so many different currencies and systems it’s hard to start or go back to it. There onboarding is terrible.

What's the betting the survey was sent to people who predominitley play COD skewing the results in Sony's favour. Seems a thing that could be easily manipulated.
