@thefirst Yeah UK prices and selection very poor compared to the American sale. In the UK Argos has some good deals the Hits games are £10 picked up Last of Us will give it a third shot at finishing the game
@BowTiesAreCool Will make sure I stick it out for the first couple of hours to give it a fair crack. I am in a lull for new releases so nice to pick up games cheap and give them a go that I have missed in the last few years.
Really hard to get excited for this year just feels this year is just limping its way to the next generation. Microsoft will be good for the 3rd party games I am sure they will mention new console but it will just be spec and nothing else so no details average people like me want to know as I have no idea what a teraflop is! Only interested in Squares for FFVII news.
Least it will answer the question who was screwing up Destiny Bungie or Activision. If they announce an expansion and a season pass think I will give it a miss this time. Even if it is Destiny 3 think I will wait a month or so after release to wait for feedback.
I would guess the next thing they bring out is Destiny 3 cant see them doing another expansion to 2 would of thought they would want a clean break from Activision a new expansion to 2 would muddy that.
They have been getting a lot of stick for there choices last few months. Will be interesting to see what the choices are for Sony and Microsoft as they got stick last month as well.
It looks like you will have your triple A games then every AA game being made by THQ Nordic! They have bought all these studios but not really produced anything of note so far Darksiders 3 got a luke warm reception.
@ZeD You get a guy called Ray with the console every time you press a certain button he pops up on screen and traces the screen to give you a real life screenshot to put up on your bedroom wall.
I think Games as a service can work at the start of a console life mainly due to the lack of games to play. Destiny got its hooks into me as there was not a lot of other games releasing at that time. Buy the time Destiny 2 came around there were lots of games to play so after about 60 hours of doing the same stuff over and over again just thought I could be playing lot of different games.
The other problem being a lot of the games as service are broken or under featured at release like Anthem and usually have to pay more to fix these problems like forsaken with Destiny 2.
If Sony want to cash in on the games as a service then they need a competent game to release in the first year or so.
Had the game since Saturday its a lot of fun agree with the comment about the objective modes being challenging and some of them they don't really explain very well either. Online didn't seem to have many players but putting that down to the game not officially being out yet so hopefully from today it improves.
I think if your unsure on a bethesda game your best waiting six months as its usually £10 by then. Prey, Fallout 4, Dishonored and Doom all have dropped to £10 on disc. I think I remember reading somewhere they produce way more discs then they need so that's why they drop in price quickly.
Just had a look at the trophies don't think there that bad. There are no condor requirements like the main game. Got the platinum on the normal game so hopefully can do the same in VR.
@Quintumply Thanks that's great means the girlfriend and I can play together which is nice just got a dispatch email for it so fingers crossed may even get it tomorrow.
I have this pre ordered but a little worried about it did manage to pick it up for just under £25 so not a massive risk. Does kinda sound like the team mechanic should of been a multiplayer mode and not the full emphasis of the game. Does the game have local split screen?
It was ok think they could of mixed the 2 a bit better as in put a couple of VR announcements in this one and maybe put the predator and away announcement in the first one would of made both more palatable in my opinion. Most of the announcements were bittersweet for me. The predator one looked interesting then said it was a multiplayer game which lost all interest for me. Away looked really nice and interesting then they said it was a survival game and my interest dropped again but it is one I will keep an eye on. The Final Fantasy one was nice still not sure on combat and would of been nice to show a small glimpse of anything other then Midgar as it was all dark and grimey.
I wonder if you have to get 3 Condors for the trophies again! Looking forward to this. Does anyone know if you pre order the physical version do you still get bonus items and themes?
@Splat As far as I know the developers get paid per game "sold" its why you have to go through checkout procedure even though there free so Sony have the data of how many copies were "sold"
@R1spam You are correct. I seemed to have missed that one as its not in purchased list that's a shame been kinda wanting to give that a go again oh well need to pay more attention in the future.
@Rob_230 I actually own 2/4 of those I listed. I own Everybody's Golf and Uncharted remasters. I have played a few of the others but some of them for not very long like The order and Killzone to give them a second chance. Infamous would be nice as well as I could then play a bad playthrough as I only did good when I owned it. I agree a PSVR game would be nice there are quite a lot of cheap games and experiences they could offer would even take stuff like Dying Reborn for free!
Just had a look God of War III remastered was the last Sony PS4 game offered and that was back in September. There was also Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls before that. But you have to go back to March last year I think for an original Sony PS4 game which was Bloodborne and Ratchet and Clank.
I think there is lots of issues here. We are late in the console cycle so there is lots of games they could do deals for. They have lots of there own games they could put on still cant believe Killzone hasn't been on Plus yet. There is quite a big list of there own games they could put on stuff like: Killzone Everybodys Golf Infamous Second Son The Order Gravity Rush 1 and 2 Uncharted 4 Uncharted Lost Legacy Any of the uncharted remasters Horizon Shadow of The Collosus Last Guardian Matterfall Knack 2 Last of Us remastered With Drive Club servers shutting down they could give the full version of Drive club and DLC to give it a last hurrah. I cant remember the last time Sony offered one of there own games last one off the top of my head was Knack.
Overcooked is one I will try so an OK month for me but its hard to argue the value of PS plus has reduced in the last few months. I dont play many games online and with games like Anthem dropping the ball its getting harder to keep PS plus going.
To me Ps plus and GWG have both declined in recent months maybe both are trying to push there other services PS Now and gamepass. Credit to Microsoft they are doing a better job with Gamepass then PS now some big games coming to gamepass next month
@rjejr Instant Games Collection I think is what it stood for. If I remember rightly there would be 3 or 4 permanent games you could download anytime and 1 or 2 games monthly.
Would be happy with Overcooked as been tempted a few times and already have the excellent edith finch the value is very poor as both on sale a lot Overcooked regularly at 3.99
May take a punt on the EDF Shmup now its finally on sale. My wild hope is that Yakuza Kiwami 2 maybe a PS plus game as thats not in the sale but other Yakuza games are. And havent purchased Kiwami 2 yet.
Monster hunter could be in with a shout seeing as it’s just gone on to gamepass. Burnout paradise or wipeout would be nice. If they do a psvr game it will be apex construction as I have just bought it
Odd choice of style looks very cartoony to me where other Olympic games have gone for realism. With Football and Tennis being included wonder if the old Virtua Tennis and Virtua Striker teams will be working on them. I am just hoping for Sega Soccer Slam remaster not that it will ever happen but a man can dream

Re: Destiny 2: Shadowkeep Releases 17th September, Won't Require Previous Expansions
Wonder why you don't get Forsaken as that is one of the better bits of the last 2 years the rest has been poor to average.
Re: Guide: When Is EA's E3 2019 Livestream?
30 mins on each game seems like a bit overkill especially for stuff like Apex, Sims and Battlefield.
Re: Are You Ready, Kids? SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated Announced
So are they not going to do any new games with all the ips they bought just remaster PS2 and PS3 games.
Re: Sony Doesn't Think It Talked About PS Now Enough
I think the other problem it has is the cost is to high if it was priced more reasonably reckon they would get more people interested in it.
Re: Destiny 2: Shadowkeep Leaks Ahead of Tomorrow's Reveal
So Bungies first thing flying solo is reskinning something from Destiny 1 not the greatest of starts. Moon was probably worst planet in Destiny 1.

Re: Deal: You Can Get PlayStation Classic Mini Console for Just £30 in UK

Does the game have local split screen? If it does is it just normal races or can you do the team stuff as well?

Re: Guide: New PS4 Games Releasing in May 2019
Team Sonic Racing and Everybodys Golf VR for me. Will look to get Blood and Truth and Trover at some stage if reviews are positive.
