There are some obvious ones (Ghost, Soul Reaver Remasters etc.) but I also really liked the look of Hell is Us, which doesn’t seem to be getting much love.

@nessisonett I’m planning on playing both of them again the year that Part III releases (if & when it releases).

As long as there’s a separate trophy list I’m in!

@Yousef- … for Days

Days Gone obvs 😏

@Yousef- well if Quincy Taggart, portrayed by Jason Nesmith, portrayed by Tim Allen taught me anything… it’s to never give up, never surrender!

@Kraven @Yousef- nah… this is El Paso, Everywhere. Completely different game 😁

Note to self - remember the /s for @nessisonett

$60! Who does he think he is Astrobot or sumfink?

Returned to finish of Rage on ps3 after about a year off. I’d kinda been putting it off as I remember not thinking that much of it but it’s better than recall. Should have my 100% run finished up today and then I’ll take a stab at the Nightmare run on Wednesday for the plat.

Listened to a podcast last week where some guy was playing an advanced copy and he was having a great time with this. So, while a 5 wouldn’t normally interest me… I will look into this one.

@Yousef- fkn love Days Gone so much. This is the next best news after a Days Gone 2 actually being green-lit!

lol I wasn’t expecting this much-mooted terrible choice of 1st party remaster to be Days Gone. Not gonna lie but with the obvious exception of Bloodborne, this would probably be second on my list of remasters. Buzzing tbh! 🫨

Didn’t need reminding, one of my favourite games ever… absolutely stellar in every aspect!

I absolutely loved XVI and was probably my GotY last year… I get that the combat felt more action-adventure than previous entries and that put series stalwarts off but it was a great game. Gutted it didn’t sell more as it deserved to be a huge success in my book.

@WizzNL cheers buddy. Yeah I have the ps4 physical, so happy days 🥳

@MrMagic NOICE!

@themightyant what is the price?

@themightyant exactly, it’s image quality over resolution figure, which provides more wiggle room for processing elsewhere. It’s where all graphic cards are going including 4090 super rigs. I was just clarifying that comparing a ps4 game at 1080 to the same game on Xbox one x at 4k in no way serves the discussion.

Ahh… the evolution of the Xbox tax - the PlayStation rebate 🤣. Just in time for Hellblade 2 to not receive a GotY nomination. Clever… as far as the masses go: transparent for the one-eyed king 😉

@OldGamer999 🍻in this era of diminishing returns, we have to be able to read between the lines rather than just seeing raw data and drawing conclusions. I know you’ve always been more of an Xbox man than ps (which is absolutely fine) and have only recently migrated but it brings to mind the 12 tflops vs 10… or the Full RDNA 2 vs RDA 1.5 chatter. There’s always more going on than simple bullet-points.

No one seems to be seeing the wood for the trees. It’s a kids game mun… kids don’t spend £60 wil-nil like us wage-slaves. They wait until Christmas and birthdays… expect this one to have a long tail.

@Gremio108 well… if we’re gonna be pedantic it’s actually kil… but I get you 😎

@OldGamer999 yeah I get that bud, the fact I detailed the difference explains that I understand that there was a difference in you’re example. This article though is detailing an upscaled PSSR image, which is why I pointed out that you trying to be negative about upscaled 4k when providing an example that used 1080 is the epitome of false-equivalency.

@OldGamer999 DLSS 3 upscaling 4k is basically identical to native 4k on PC. There’s no reason why PSSR can’t perform similarly on PS5. Also, I’m pretty sure Farcry 5 wasn’t upscaled at all on PS4… think it was just 1080. Even if it was though… it wasn’t using DLSS 3 or PSSR.

@UntilRespawn nah he’s on here too… and has me blocked. I am awfully adult though to be fair 😉

£700 for a PC that matches a PS5 Pro is a pipe dream… all the old xbots/new-PC elite trying to do so are making massive compromises that they choose not to delve into as it doesn’t fit their narrative.

They’re just doing the same old schtick but with a new box as they had to move on from Xbox and their own prejudices wouldn’t allow them to go PlayStation.

I enjoyed Watchdogs and Watchdogs 2 but WHAT!?!? I seem to remember Ubisoft deciding that they wouldn’t be making anymore games in the series a while back (which I was disappointed about) but they’re making a movie! Never go full Ubisoft 🤪

@Nepp67 yeah I get that but if they can prove they made absolutely no revenue, they can argue it being written off. Any business worth half its salt would chance their arm in these circumstances. It’s the most logical reason for pulling the plug as fast as they did.

@Nepp67 depends if they can get a tax write-off or not. I’d imagine that the refunds are in an effort to pursue that cause… if unsuccessful with that, then they may look at f2p.

Would rather 1tb and a disk drive tbh

Love the idea of publisher-specific dlc!

@Northern_munkey best advice too fully enjoy the game is to concentrate on a melee focus early on as your gun-skills are pretty poor until they’ve been levelled up some. Then once you’ve put sufficient skill-points into them the gunplay is great…

… then about those pre-release showcases… it plays just like those once you get to the hoards. They’re just well… well into the game is all 👍

@Northern_munkey it’s awesome dude, you have an absolute treat ahead of you. A Days Gone 2 would be right up there amongst my most anticipated games if it were a thing.

Still, Garvin has allowed his bitterness to destroy his soul… maybe Astrobot can help him find it again.

Final Fantasy XIII - considering it’s so hated, I’m enjoying the hell out of it. Hit Gran Pulse yesterday and busting out the monster hunts atm.

@get2sammyb aye, all the Concord characters are having a wake in mine as we speak 😉

Let’s just hope it sells gangbusters… so much so that the boardrooms bulging-pockets are undeniable

@MightyDemon82 mate, I’ve been playing PS3 all year, so I’ve got a truckload to catch up on from this year alone… let alone the stuff I’ve missed from 2023 too 😅

B b b but 2024 was meant to be a terrible year for PlayStation… right? 🤢 B b b but PlayStation’s got no games… right? 🤢

Meanwhile in the real-world - Astrobot, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and Helldivers 2 are duking it out for game of the year! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Awesome, been looking forward to this and it looks like it’s hit it out the park!

I’m sure the internal Concord chat was positive too… until it wasn’t. From my perspective it would be a miracle for gamers to buy into this given the current appetite.

Crazy that this keeps popping up… still I wouldn’t put it past Microsoft that their comment is actually about the deal between game science and nvidia, which has caused the games to poorly run on AMD cards but imply the deal is with Sony for their own ends.

@get2sammyb oh it’s multifaceted alright… you don’t see a failure this monumental with just one facet! 🤣

@get2sammyb you now seem to recognise that the PlayStation gamers have spoken on this by not buying Concord and not playing it. When I mentioned that a message akin to this was the best thing that could happen to modern Sony recently (from my perspective anyway) you seemed very defensive of the game itself, multiplayer games and Sony’s efforts to permeate the GaaS sphere. Under a week ago and you’ve already forgotten?

Well it looks like Push Square has changed its tune fairly quickly, hopefully Sony will do the same.

Man, the Concord episode of Secret Level is gonna be appointment-viewing!

Next time Square-Enix complain about sales figures, someone show them Concord.

These narrative horror games aren’t necessarily my cup of tea but I’m surprised by a 5. I was actually quite pleasantly surprised by The Man of Medan, so was low-key following this one.

@anoyonmus here you go… just a bit slow out of the gates is all 😉: https://www.purexbox.com/news/2024/09/enotria-the-last-song-dev-blasts-microsoft-over-indefinite-xbox-delay

@HotGoomba @NintyPrime or Nintendo Prime, he’ll be happy to help
