@thefourfoldroot1 I just started RE4VR and it is pretty incredible, I just need to get my tiny brain to remember how to reload guns whilst I'm being chased by people with chainsaws. I somehow got through that opening village section through a combination of luck and blind panic 😂

PSVR2 game of the year is Gran Turismo 7 and by some distance (how is GT7 not even an option?). I've recently jumped back into VR now that I have space for it and GT7 in VR with a wheel is a mind blowing experience.

Best Expansion would be Phantom Liberty

Best Story for me was Like A Dragon Gaiden

Most anticipated for 2024 is Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth

PS5 GOTY Resident Evil 4

Best Studio is Capcom for RE4, Street Fighter 6 and RE4 VR

Mine is pitiful with just 71 hours played on PS5, as I've played mainly on PC this year. Quake was my first game of the year and Gran Turismo 7 is easily my most played game. I've just jumped back into PSVR2 recently so my time on Playstation is going to dramatically increase going forward

I can't say I'm surprised to see God of War win on a Playstation site but I'm happy to see the love shown to Sega on here, that really was a great reveal from them

This looks amazing and it's so good to see Sega continuing to bring Model 3 games to these. Like A Dragon Gaiden eas one of my favourite games this year and this looks to be even better. It's certainly my most anticipated game and with everything that's crammed in, it looks like I'll be playing for a long time

The various leaks I've seen online seem to put the GPU around a 7700xt which whilst a decent bump, people need to get their expectations in check. It's RT capabilities should be much improved though, even if still in the mid range of where PC 's currently are.

I'll certainly be getting one though and those with VRR TV's are going to see the biggest benefits and hopefully we get even better looking PSVR2 games

Sega's announcement was easily my favourite, with 5 games I'm excited to play and that new Crazy Taxi looks very promising. Also that Jurassic Park game has great potential if done correctly

I never watch this as its on in the middle of the night here. Some of the announcements were great though, especially the Sega stuff

This could be fun, I really like the first movie and this kind of setup has huge potential

Wise of them not to show any actual gameplay. Let's just say I'll be playing GTAVI before I play this

Now this a trailer I can get really excited for, I cannot wait to play all of these games

I'd certainly much rather those working on it enjoy their Christmas instead of working overtime to finish this. But it seems odd that they announced in September that they were delaying from the October launch to miss the chaos of all those releases, yet here we are in December with it seemingly not finished

@Splat not necessarily the same people though, I much prefer these 20 hour games over the bloated mess that is AC Valhalla

I wasn't going to buy any more games for the rest of the year regardless of what came out. At the moment I'm mainly back on GT7 on my PS5 and still need to finish Alan Wake 2.

As for those, I can't say I'm a fan of Ubisoft style open worlds, though the core Far Cry/Crysis gameplay does appeal. I seem to remember enjoying Avatar when I saw it at the cinema, even if I don't remember that much about the story. I might pick this up in a sale at some point

Won't be using it anyway, these games don't sound right in English regardless of the quality of the dub and I can't imagine that ending being anywhere near as impactful with it

Back in the PS2 days, GTA was certainly a big part of my gaming but it hasn't been for a very long time now, not least because we haven't had one in a decade. GTAIV was a big disappointment to me and I never enjoyed it anywhere near as much as the likes of Vice City and never finished it either.

I enjoyed GTAV more and played through it on PS3 and PS4. The thing is these days I've grown tired of Rockstars style of control, something RDR2 magnified and I didn't finish that either.

So whist GTAVI does look very impressive from a graphical standpoint, I really want to see some gameplay first before I can get excited by it and the wait simply won't bother me as its not like other games don't exist. I'm way more excited for Like A Dragon next month

No Robocop? Also whilst GT7 in VR wasn't technically new, it is easily the best game I played on PSVR2

OK then

1. Like A Dragon Gaiden, a fantastic and emotional return for Kiryu
2. Resident Evil 4
3. Alan Wake 2
4. Street Fighter 6

Oh that's actually pretty cool, I was using a mod to get Judy to stay at another apartment but this will be much better.

I'd played the dlc with my existing save but now will start a brand new game

@ShogunRok basically this, Capcom have made an amazing fighting game and one that really should be celebrated but rubbish like this and the Turtles fiasco really leave a sour taste. I've got no issues with reasonably priced dlc but when a handful of costumes costs significantly more than the Phantom Liberty expansion, then there is something seriously wrong

Code Veronica is the one I want and it's so much more important to the story than Nemesis is. Though I suspect RE5 will be the next remake and this is probably where I stop buying them as I much prefer the survival horror side of Resident Evil

Vice City is still easily my favourite GTA, so I'm hopeful that I can get a similar feeling with this, even if it's modern times. I won't be setting an alarm or anything to catch the trailer but I'll be watching it

I think its price point was a bigger problem, Sonic Frontiers launched at a lower price point and is the better game too (metacritic score be dammed) but its lower price made it more likelythat peoplewould try it. Bumping this up to £55 was a big mistake and did it no favours whatsoever in a crowded release schedule.

To be fair I also feel Mario Wonder is a bit overrated, the Wonder gimmick grew tiresome, bosses are either a bit dull or just don't exist and a lot of the levels I wouldn't want to replay. It's fun the first time through but DK Tropical Freeze is a much better 2d platformer

Good old Ubisoft, making themselves more unlikeable with every passing day and hopefully this doesn't become more prevalent

That's just plain stupid.

Go on then, play it without a PS5 and tell me it's s console. It's as much a console as my TV is

It's embarrassing when you have to confirm that your physical limited edition actually includes the physical game

I've not played it but given the online reaction, it seems Baulders Gate 3 is likely to win, with its only realistic competition being Zelda

"The actions of Sony is costing millions of people who can't afford it"

They're video games, nobody has to buy them, if you can't afford a game, don't buy it. I think its comical that this has got so far

Well deserved too, there isn't another game this year that I've enjoyed playing more than Robocop

Grandia, Teardown and Klonoa have made this month for me. I can't remember the last time I added multiple games, oh and Superliminal is a very good game but I've already played it

My kid has been playing this and absolutely loves it. I had a quick go myself and it's surprisingly good fun, just turn off the aggressive depth of field and it looks rather nice

There is no game I'm looking forward to as much as Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and it looks to have a crazy amount to do outside of the main game

I bounce between using an Xbox and PS5 controller on PC and pretty much all the games I've played over the last couple of years have no issues with the PS controller, which hasn't always been the case. For some games I find the Dualsense much better, such as Alan Wake 2 as you have a dedicated map button on the touchpad, or for singing Karaoke in Like A Dragon as I always forget the Xbox button placement.

These days outside of exclusives, I play almost entirely on PC so I'm happy to see it supported much more

@DarkTron regardless of how you want to dress it up I stand by my opinion, it was fundamentally the exact same game with prettier graphics that was already playable on PS5 and its pricing was absurd

I'm happy with the upgrade path and this is what should have happened for the previous game too. I'll be getting this as its probably my favourite PS4 exclusive and it'll be nice for it not to use an extra 20GB of "other" in my storage

@DonaldMcRonald I like throwing them off the bridge and into the river

I played the demo this morning and the updated combat was much improved over the previous game. Oh and Like A Dragon Gaiden was excellent as well, one of the best games I've played this year

Grandia is one of the best JRPG's ever made and its great to have a version that doesn't look awful on modern platforms

This is just fancy exec talk to convince us to be grateful for how much their game will cost. The length of a game has very little to do with its value for me and how long I'll be playing it for. I never know before buying a game how long I'll actually play a game, I've played plenty of 80+ hour long games but stopped after 20, yet the relatively short Resident Evil 2 Remake I've played for nearly 100 hours across many playthroughs.

I don't enjoy games today anymore than I did 20 or 30 years ago, so that's not a factor in value and this year my favourite game was Robocop and I spent just 17 hours playing it but I would much rather that, then play a game for 40 but not enjoy much of it

Personally I feel this is a completely pointless device, if it could stream games without your PS5 then I could sort of see the point. But having a device that only streams from your console and is unreliable relating to input lag, so its not even as good as the Wii U gamepad I just don't get it.

I'll be getting the new OLED Steamdeck instead

I dropped it after just a few hours and never returned, perhaps this style of often walking and talking a lot of the time just doesn't appeal to me anymore. I finished the previous God of War and enjoyed it but that wasn't amongst my top Sony exclusives either

@ShogunRok the Sega arcade games are almost reason enough alone for me to pick this up and reading your review, I'm excited to play the rest of the game as well

I'm having a blast with Robocop, its easily one of my favourite games from this year

This is getting ridiculous, $10 for what is effectively a 30 second cutscene is just insane. These fighting games are already monetised to hell and they still want more. Street Fighter 6 was just as bad with its Ninja Turtle skins that cost over £40 and aren't even playable characters but just a costume.

This could have been a fun little addition for Halloween that helped keep interest and even drive sales for the game, instead they've turned it into an awful short term and short sighted cash grab

Yes I'm playing this, only an hour or so in but loving it so far. I played the original and liked the story but wasn't a huge fan of the gameplay but really like Control.

Playing this on a high end PC and it looks stunning, possibly the best looking game I've played on it including Cyberpunk, more importantly the game is really good

I upgraded to the top tier earlier this year but I won't be renewing at all, the Playstation classics section has been a huge disappointment. These days I barely have time to play the games I buy so all these subscriptions will be going

Wow, this is getting amazing reviews everywhere. Whilst I'll be getting this on PC for its ray tracing potential, it's clear they've done an amazing job in making the console versions look great.

I'm a big fan of Control in particular and really looking forward to playing this tomorrow

I wonder how many current PS5's aren't connected to the Internet or have never been? This is one of those things that people like to complain about but isn't an issue in reality outside of some theoretical point in the future, when you find a PS5 that for some reason hasn't had its disc drive authenticated and the servers have gone down. Realistically though, there'll still be millions of the current PS5's without such an issue and millions of the new model which have already gone through the process

@Yinx yeah it needs to be wired for haptics to work, for the triggers it's game dependant whether it'll work over Bluetooth

I've only played a couple of hours so far but overall I've seen nothing whilst swinging around at speed and stopping crimes

I played for a couple of hours today and it's great so far, combat has a few fresh moves and the slingshot from the buildings is great fun. The RT reflections are also very impressive for a console game (in its 30fps mode) and despite me not really being a huge Spider-Man fan in general, Insomniac have always pulled me in with their takes on the characters.

I'm far too early to give it a score but I'm loving it so far
