Let's not pretend that it also isn't a massive flop on PS5 as well, it's currently not even in the top 50 on the UK PS store, behind the likes of Train Sim World 5. This game is effectively dead already, with its only slight chance being it going f2p but even then I doubt it'll survive as not only is it's character roster unappealing but we're about to head into the busy part of the year for game releases.

I'll be stunned if this isn't shut down within 6 months

It's basically what the Portal should have been, have it able to stream PS5 games but be able to natively play PS4 and the recent PS classics. As much as I'd love a fully dedicated handheld, I see no scenario where Sony support it properly and it'll end up like Vita and PSVR2 where they hope others will fill out it's library for them

PC for me and I'm excited for this one, it's nice to see something like this be in first person and is up there along with Astro Bot and Silent Hill 2 for my most anticipated games for the rest of the year

It's one of the worst kept secrets at this point. It's a console I'm unlikely to get, Astro Bot is the game I'm most looking forward to and that will look and play great on the base PS5 and from the rumoured specs, it won't come close to my PC either

I'll be playing Xbox games on my PC so I can't say I care if and when they tell us they're going to be on PS5

I'll be playing it on PC at launch but it's good to see such properties being more widely available to players

That model does look amazing and would look great next to my actual Dreamcast but it's a bit pricey for me, shame you can't buy it separately

I tried the demo on my PC today and can run it well above 60fps, plus it's only £45 on Steam. I never played it on PS5 but have heard various things about its quests, though I will say I found the combat to be really fun in the demo. At this point I want a PS5 Pro, as games are seemingly so poorly optimised these days that they almost require silly amounts of power to run them half decently

@PuppetMaster Yeah the original Doom and Quake, these don't run on their original engines and have had extra campaigns created for them. Then you're comparing games from previous consoles where there have never been any kind of upgrade paths to newer consoles vs an ecosystem between PS4/5 which has plenty and I don't really see why this remaster doesn't offer one either

@PuppetMaster I mean Doom and Quake have had free updated versions of their games with way more added content then this has.

Not to mention that you can't really compare the level of the RE and FF remakes with this game, they're not in the same ball park

No chance, I already own it on PS4 so there's no way I'm paying so much for a slight face-lift. Not to mention anyone with any sense should just buy the physical PS4 version for £15 from Amazon or probably much less used then pay £60 for exactly the same game

That's pretty concerning this close to launch and that 3080 is a fair bit beyond what a PS5 is capable of.

At least the game sounds good, let's just hope that console performance isn't an issue

This is easily amongst the games I'm most looking forward to for the rest of the year

Jez Corden saying it won't be Forza Horizon 5 pretty much guarantees that it will be.

If it is and you're a Playstation only gamer, then you're in for a treat

Randy Pitchford has always been a pathetic little cry baby at best and outright lying piece of .... at worst

As for Borderlands, I really enjoyed the second one amd put a ridiculous amount of time into it but never really got into number 3, as whilst the gameplay was better, the writing and characters were far less interesting

If I happen to catch the movie on TV at some point in the future I'll watch it but won't be going out of my way to see it

That's a hugely misleading headline, it isn't by far the most popular gaming accessory.

The quoted article has it 11th on the list by unit numbers. If you're enjoy it then great, personally I have no use for it as I'd only be playing PS5 whilst at home and would much rather use my TV

I might have to get MK1 now the T-1000 is coming, a bit of a shame Arnies Terminator isn't in the same game though

Sure put it in, it's not a feature I ever use as I find it annoying more than anything. It's a shame the pointer controls of the Wii never remianed on console, as that was by far the best way to aim outside of keyboard and mouse

I've always doubted it would release this year, mainly for the fact that surely you'd want a big release to showcase its capabilities. It's not like last gen where the difference was obvious in terms of resolution, so to me it makes sense to bring it with a big first party game that'll show what it can do or GTAVI

I realise they're not aiming this at people my age but those character designs are horrific, a very easy pass as I wait for the Power Rangers game

So we've gone from a rubbish PS2 emulator on PS4 to a poor one on PS5. I'll just stick to PCSX2

I can't say it's amongst my favourite Star Wars games, I much preferred Star Wars Rogue Leader and Shadows of The Empire from back then

@SingleStooge that 2tb Xbox is a limited edition and they'll be producing and selling way more of the digital Series X and I didn't even mention Nintendo, it's common knowledge the new Switch is backwards compatible.

Sure the Internet situation is bad in certain areas today but this is talking about when a potential PS7 launches, which realistically is probably well over a decade away

@LiamCroft I'm really looking forward to this one, a brilliant game

Capcom just dropping bangers on a random Wednesday. First the original Resident Evil trilogy pops up on GOG and now this.

I love this game

Oh its 100% happening, even now nobody is going to design a new console with a disc drive built in. It's already an add on for PS5 models going forward, Xbox have now added a digital Series X, further diluting their physical market to next to nothing. Even today I only buy physical games for the Switch as it's the only platform where you actually play that physical media.

By the time a PS7 exists I'm not entirely convinced consoles will still be around or at least they'll only be one option to play your digital libraries

The only thing I want from GTA6's multiplayer mode is the ability to uninstall it and not have ot be the default option when booting the game

Allegedly? They made 1 game for it and it's been radio silence from them ever since.

Sadly this has been obvious for some time and I've long since sold mine and it's a real shame as the tech is great and GT7 is brilliant in it

@get2sammyb whilst I appreciate high fidelity graphics, they aren't the be all and end all for me. This is why I'm still a huge fan of Nintendo, they've just shown off another bunch of new games for a console supposedly on its last legs and the new Zelda is as visually appealing as anything I've played on other hardware.

Sure there are a lot of vocal voices about graphics but you also have Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite as amongst the most successful games in the world. Then you have GTA, we had it so good getting GTA3, Vice City and San Andreas and GTAIV in just a few years, now they're over a decade apart.

As for the time problem, I'm in that boat, this year I played Like A Dragon and FFVII Rebirth but finished neither of them and I think I've finally learned my lesson and will probably have to avoid such games in the future, they're just too long for me now

I picked up Super Monkey Ball Banana Mania and whilst it's nowhere near as good as the Gamecube originals, it's still a fun game but I kind of wish they'd have just packaged the original games.

On PC I picked up Fallen Aces which is kind of like if Dick Tracy was made as a game mixing Duke Nukem and Deus Ex. The comic book art style is amazing and even early on has many ways to navigate the levels and defeat enemies using anything from your fists, to a fire extinguisher or a good old fashioned gun and its quickly becoming one of my favourite games of the year

Let's be honest it was pretty bad until Xbox dragged it kicking and screaming into good territory with by far the best show.

My rankings are

Xbox: A+ - so many great looking games and well presented
Playstation: C - not much to offer but Astro Bot looks incredible
Ubisoft: D - no surprises but Star Wars is looking great
Geoffs D, would have been worse but Power Rangers looks fun
Nintendo TBD but given they're on the road to Switch 2 I don't expect any big surprises

Overall Summer Games Fest isn't even remotely close to E3 at its peak

A great entry in the series that I throughly enjoyed, the first half of the game is amazing, a bit of a shame it doesn't quite maintain that throughout but still great fun overall with good replayability.

Probably in my top 5 overall behind the likes of RE1 Remake, RE2 and RE7

@PsBoxSwitchOwner undoubtedly, I'm not trying to suggest this is just a Pushsquare issue either, I see it regularly across a variety of sites, where one random tweet, which in itself isn't even the source, is then paraded around as a story

@Lembit he literally talks about how Xbox started it with COD during the 360 days in the same interview

@trev666 same, it's so easy to find the actual interview as well instead of reporting on an interpretation of an interpretation of the interview

See this is what happens when these big social media accounts are being deliberately misleading. Hunter blatantly lying by quoting Phil as saying Playstation were slimy when he said no such thing and he never even mentioned Playstation, in fact in the same interview he says that Xbox started this exclusivity nonsense with COD.

But sure keep reporting his lies

This is what I've been looking for in a Star Wars game for a long time in having the original trilogy locations and setting and a mixture of gameplay styles, almost like a modern day Shadows of The Empire, I'm looking forward to this one

Loved Power Rangers as a kid, so this was the most exciting announcement from that show and it's nice to see a mixture of gameplay styles

It being on Switch is certainly a surprise but why not have a PS4 version when they're making it for Switch anyway? It's baffling to ignore so many of their own customers when they know PS4 is still so active

@DennisReynolds the same reason pretty much every other publisher is doing, to make more money. What a bizarre question

@DennisReynolds I would agree but they're making a Switch version anyway, so at that point there's no reason not to make it for their own console which is still incredibly active and still gets most new games. Also the PS3 was vastly different to PS4 for development and was quickly abandoned by most so that analogy makes no sense

Love the film but missed out on the game back then, so I will be buying this and Nightdives work has been consistently great

It looks fantastic but I'm stunned this isn't on PS4, it just seems a poor way to treat their own customers when it's being developed for the Switch. Overall one I'll keep an eye on and may pick up

At this point generations are basically a thing of the past and there's no chance that a new console doesn't support old games, whilst new ones will be made for both for years.

As for how long game development time is, I just don't think it's worth it anymore. Sure some of these games can end up being great but time is the one thing that we will all run out of.

GTAVI will be at least 12 years after GTAV, Elder Scrolls VI could be closer to 20 years after Skyrim, it's already 4 years since Naughty Dog released a new game and we waited the best part of a decade for Rocksteady to release another game, only for it to be Suicide Squad and one unsuccessful game is now going to shut down a studio given the time and financial commitments required

All for what? I wouldn't say I get anymore enjoyment out of these games. It'd be good for the developers and for us gamers if the big studios started to make smaller budget games as well

@get2sammyb this to me makes more sense, as for the games, the bigger developers can just have their own shows/reveals and the smaller ones likely couldn't afford it anyway

"Are you surprised to learn things were quite chaotic during the development of Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League?"

Absolutely not, it's painfully obvious to everyone except those in charge what was going on. It seems they are the only people in the world that can't see how the vast majority of these projects end up, despite the many examples right in front of their faces. All in the pursuit of the mythical live service gravy train which is blind luck as to if your game manages to hop aboard

Yeah this makes sense, build a handheld that plays PS4 games just after you've stopped making games for the PS4. There's no chance such a device gets released

Yeah I remember when the Witcher 3 got ported to Switch and they had to halve the size of the map because of the lack of RAM 🙄

Astro Bot Rescue Mission is my favourite Sony exclusive on the PS4, VR or otherwise whilst the PS5 game is still the most fun I've had this gen. So yeah, I'm very much looking forward to this game

I'm not surprised that the PS5 is Sony's most profitable console to date, we see similar trends with the Nintendo Switch as these platform holders now make a significant amount of their money through the enormous amount of microtransactions and dlc that flow through their stores, plus their subscription services.

What's crazy to see is how Playstation was in a really bad spot with the PS3 and they're somewhat fortunate that Xbox fumbled the ball with the Xbox One launch
