I think this show is just going to be:

1) God of War Ragnarok full look
2) Deeper look at Horizon Forbidden West
3) Gran Turismo 7 full look
4) Then maybe a glimpse at a game like Pragmata or Forspoken.

I doubt we'll get any big reveals, but I'd be very happy to be wrong about that.

The most underrated part of the whole gameplay breakdown video is SpongeBob's taunt at 5:38 of the video. It's a taunt straight from the meme!!

@Chief_Forasteiro if you want to know my thoughts on this all you can read my comments on this article:
https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2021/08/ghost_of_tsushima_directors_cut_is_superb_but_sony_shouldnt_be_charging_extra_for_ps5_upgrade

As I've said before, I don't see the problem with Sony charging a small fee for a PS5 upgrade on a game.

But in this situation where they aren't even offering an upgrade and are forcing people to buy the game twice if they want it on both consoles, that is a problem. They're just trying to suck the most loyal customers dry.

I've been looking forward to this. I'll be picking it up after I'm done with Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island.

SpongeBob Battle for Bikini Bottom 2? I'm all in for that!

God of War updates please!! I would also love to see some info on The Last of Us multiplayer game but I feel like that's still too far away to show off.

I can't wait for this! I have so much fun with Far Cry games, especially in co-op with a friend.

I am happy with more of the same. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I spent a few hours playing the beta and it actually is pretty fun. It's like what Steep should have been.

@get2sammyb 100% Sony can give PS5 upgrades for free. In my opinion that doesn't mean they should.

The thought in life of "others do it this way so I should too" has never made sense to me, and it's the same in this situation. Where's the innovation in that type of thinking? Who knows, maybe Sony will be using the extra profit from the $10 upgrade to invest in more outstanding exclusives in the future, which will provide the consumer with more great content and set them apart from their competition. That would be a luxury that their competition doesn't have because they gave away upgrades for free.

I think most people on this site will agree that Sony puts out more quality exclusives than any other company. I would think Sony's resources that are allowing them to continue to put out great content are a result of their business practices, such as the one in question here.

It's the consumer's right to not purchase something if they see no value in it, just as much as it's the company's right to charge for their product.

I very much disagree. Paying $10 for a PS5 upgrade is more than reasonable. The upgrade doesn't just happen with the click of a button. Real people do real work and get paid real money to make the upgrade possible. The upgrade costs time and money.

Why do people feel so entitled that they should get the upgrade for free just because they previously bought the original version?

@gbanas92 yeah just like Gardiner and Kadri were the problems before that...

The cover is Auston Matthews walking down the tunnel to the dressing room after another first round exit.

@Jimmer-jammer or the ability to take cheap shots as Tom Wilson.

@get2sammyb oh yeah I think you're right. That would definitely make more sense.

“feel the personality and power of NHL superstars"

Hockey is one of my favourite things, but truth is that NHL players don't have much of a personality at all.

Watch an interview with players, 95% of them are the exact same. Just like the NHL games are the exact same every year.

It's a really great game. My only criticism is that the menus are clunky and too complex, but you get used to it after a while. I had a lot of fun playing it and earning the platinum.

@ShadowofSparta which is why I started off my comment by saying I don't mind paying for things that I like.
I don't like AC Valhalla so I wouldn't pay anything for an upgrade or director's cut for that game. But for a game like Ghost of Tsushima that I really like, I will gladly pay for more of it. Especially since the value is better than that of seeing a movie.
It's a mix of quantity and quality. Seeing a movie that I like in theatres has a higher cost of entertainment per hour than buying and playing a game that I like.

I'm fine with paying for upgrades on games and director's cuts and things like that. I have no problem paying and supporting the developers of games that I like.

Plus I look at it this way: I'm paying $40 (Canadian) for the Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut which has an additional ~15 hours of content. That equals to $2.66 per hour for the price of entertainment.
If I went to a movie theatre it's $10 for a two hour movie. That's $5 per hour for the price of entertainment.
So really, video games are a cheaper form of entertainment when the amount of content is considered.

I get the feeling that this will be one of those games that are so bad that it's good and fun.

@jesuslopez does it have trophies? Since it's early access I'm thinking maybe it has no trophies.

There's good and bad this month.

A Plague Tale Innocence is amazing and I can't wait to play it again on PS5 this time!

I'm a grown man who likes WWE (I know that's weird) but WWE 2K Battlegrounds is a pretty bad game.

Call of Duty I just don't care about, personally.

An update on Skate 4!!!!

This is the highlight of E3 right here. And no, that's not sarcasm.

It's a pretty bad "enhanced edition" for sure. On top of everything that the article mentions, the trophies are bugged. There's two trophies, plus the platinum, that are at 0.0% earned rate because the game is not properly tracking the trophy requirements.

Agreed that the PS5 upgrade really isn't much of an upgrade at all. Regardless, the game is a ton of fun. I'll be going for the platinum trophy on the PS5 version, as I did on the PS4 version.

Nice.

I completely agree, the PS Store is terrible. Always has been, IMO.

I can't wait! I've been waiting so long for this game!

Push Square continues to be at the top of the sub-header game.

The Last of Us is my favourite game series ever. That being said, I really don't think it needs another entry in the franchise.
Of course, if it does come out I will play it day one.

The amount of people who rely on reviews always surprises me. Reviews are very subjective.
Just because the reviewer doesn't like it, doesn't mean you won't, or vice versa.
There's plenty of games that review poorly that I like, and plenty of games that review well that I don't like.

@sanderson72 It has a physical release. It even has a collector's edition being released.

@TraCuz- Yeah Best Buy had it up for pre-order shortly after it was revealed in 2017. If I remember correctly, it was supposed to come out in 2018 initially. Then it just kept getting pushed back and it seemed like it was in development hell. So I'm happy that the release date is finally near.

I've had Biomutant pre-ordered since summer of 2017. It's been one of my most anticipated games since. I can't believe it's finally almost here!

Thanks for listening, Sony!

Accolades I've used a few times. Dust catchers, on the other hand, I have no idea what those even are.

@RobN Yup, I 100% agree. I was just sharing my thoughts on my own situation in this case.

That's useful but it's a long transfer time. If you're lucky enough to have good internet with no data cap then you can download games in less time than it takes to transfer. Downloading Spider-Man Remastered, for example, takes me about 10 minutes. I'd just re-download the game rather than dealing with transferring from external to internal hard drives in my situation.

Bringing back the ability to compare trophies with friends is what I like the most. That's one of the things I always missed about the old app, so I'm happy to see that feature return.

The other feature I want back is the "What's New" section. I liked seeing my friends' activities.

Well that sucks! I really enjoyed Days Gone. The way the zombies acted and the hordes were very unique and enjoyable.

This is not necessary at all, but I will still purchase it day 1 and play it.

Me and a friend spent quite a bit of time with the beta and we enjoyed it so much! It's a day 1 purchase for us.

I'm hoping it'll be announced as a free PS+ game at launch though. Sony has been doing that recently with other games like Destruction Allstars, Worms Rumble, Oddowlrd, etc. So there is a chance!

@lolwhatno It releases on May 21 and will be free to play for the first day of release. After the free day it is going to be $19.99USD.

Since it has cross-save I wonder if the trophies that I earned on my PS4 save will auto-pop on PS5 when I upload my save.

This feels like one of those games that will be on sale for 50% off just a couple months after release.
I played the demo and I think it's okay but definitely has it's issues. I'll be waiting until it's on sale before I buy it.

@Hyperluminal Me too. I was wondering why it wasn't mentioned in this post, but then I realized it got delayed to April 30.

People are missing out on PS5 share screen. Me and a friend use it frequently and it's great!

@Logonogo I'm being very optimistic with a few games on my 2021 anticipated list, Biomutant being one of them. I agree that it's most likely in development hell. I've had the game pre-ordered for years now. The dev has pretty much just stopped giving any updates on it. Which is unfortunate because Biomutant looks really promising.

My top 10 anticipated games for 2021:

1- God of War Ragnarok
2- Horizon Forbidden West
3- Biomutant
4- Ratchet & Clank: A Rift Apart
5- Far Cry 6
6- Dying Light 2
7- Open Roads
8- Gotham Knights
9- Final Fantasy XVI
10- It Takes Two

I've got Tony Hawk Pro Skater, WWE 2K Battlegrounds, and Watch Dogs Legion all pre-order. It should be a few months.
