@TowaHerschel7 sony has 2 VR focused studios and 2 studios that have VR inhouse teams. That still leaves 10+ studios that don’t make VR games at all and 2 studios that mainly make normal games but also make VR games. In no way are they abandoning normal releases.
Yakuza 4 (ps4/ps5) - almost done with this game, a lot of fun so far. I would rank it alongside 3, above K1 and FotNS and under YK2, Y0 and judgment.
Mighty gunvolt burst (NS) - had to go to the doctor because I was bitten by a horse-fly and only brought my switch so decided to replay it. Fun but frustrating.
Blood & truth (PSVR/ps5) - fun semi on rails shooter. Almost beat it. Would recommend.
Spider-man remastered (ps5) - finally gonna play this game after I bought the ps4 version at launch and kept postponing it and bought miles morales at launch and once again postponing it.
And like every week.
Pokemon shield (NS) - shiny hunting like always. Trying to breed a sandygast.
@2here2there except it’s not EA.
EA published the original trilogy at the time. Crytek owns the IP and is technically an indie studio atm, saber interactive is publishing the trilogy.
EDIT: saber is remastering them, crytek is self publishing them.
@Thrillho TBF ghost of tsushima was made in english and dubbed to japanese.
The only japanese story heavy game that has an English option that I’ll play in English is persona. Yakuza will always be played in Japanese, English just sounds weird to me, very off.
Looking forward to this game. Currently playing yakuza 4. After that I only have 5, 6, LaD and dead souls left. Already played 0, YK1, YK2, 3, fist of the north star and judgment. So far I’d rank it judgment>YK2=0>3>YK1>FotNS.
@Shinnok789 games have been getting GOTY awards pre release since the late 90’s. Never wondered how a game could have a “winner of over 200 GOTY awards” stickers on there at launch?
Was planning on playing this on gamepass when I would get an XSX next month but I saw it’s leaving GP this week. Maybe it’ll be a ps+ game eventually, maybe I’ll grab it in a ps5 sale. Hopefully it’ll get a physical.
So weird giving games praise for how good they are based on trailers. If we’d go by those standards (and let’s be honest, mainstream gamers do that and have been doing that since the N64/ps1/saturn days) cyberpunk, dead island and aliens colonial marines are some of the best games ever made.
@Dr-M lol, I doubt my current games will get ported. It was tearaway unfolded, astro bot rescue mission and currently yakuza kiwami 2. Although TBF all yakuza games have a native XSX version so that might happen.
@AK4tywill if you mean reasonable new stuff I personally would like to see added. The ultra high pc settings would be nice and newly added raytracing would be appreciate.
But in the case of bioshock the BC version had issues that wouldn’t have been there if I would’ve played it on a ps4, so if, let’s say, a native ps5 releases next month, my experience could’ve been better if I waited for a bit.
Sometimes very minor stuff can make a first playthrough better but wouldn’t warrent a second playthrough so quickly after th first because the changes are minor.
I’d go crazy if bioshock trilogy gets a ps5 remaster, I just beat all 3 in succesion on ps4 through BC.
Every time I beat a ps4 game on ps5 either a ps5 patch or a ps5 upgrade gets announced. RIP.
Yakuza kiwami 2 (ps4/ps5) - finally bought YK2 as it was the only yakuza game I didn’t own yet including spin offs. Enjoying it so far. It’s better than Y0, YK1, Y3 and fist of the north star but I still prefer judgment.
Pokemon shield (NS) - still trying to get a shiny wooloo and nickit on route 1.
De blob (NS) - fun game so far, great soundtrack.
Moss (PSVR) - want to restart it this weekend and try to beat it in 1 sitting.
@koaeinferno fall guys is most definitely not shovelware. Also where were you when this was the most downloaded ps+ game ever? The most downloaded ps+ game every surely deserves coverage by a PlayStation centric website.
I signed up for the beta test the moment the sign up went live but I never got a confirmation and can’t redo it so RIP. This is one of the few games I’m hyped for as I absolutely loved steep.
Wait this wasn’t on ps4 yet? I know it’s part of gamepass on xbox as it’s one of the games I am planning on playing once I buy the XSX later this month. (Yes I’m going fully multiplatform.)
Pokemon shield (NS) - I got a shiny tapu koko yesterday in 6 DA runs, got a shiny tapu fini 4 runs after that and a shiny Gmax duraladon 5 runs after that. Trying to breed a shiny dhelmise, shiny phantump and shiny larvasta now. I still need a shiny tapu lele to get all 4 shiny tapu’s (already had bulu).
Wolfenstein: the new order (ps4/ps5) - started playing this on Wednesday but didn’t feel like continueing yet, maybe this weekend.
Not much basically, I’m not really feeling like playing games atm besides pokemon.
@ShogunRok not really, I was confusing this with the “all games in category ranked” lists pushsquare and nintendolife does. Didn’t realize it was a top 15. Pretty solid top 15 tho I would personally remove some of the bottom ones in favor of naruto trilogy, xenoverse 1 and pirate warriors 4.
Bioshock (ps4/5) - finished bioshock infinite 3 days ago and the burial at sea expansion 2 days ago and I finally decided to get over my fear and play 1 and 2 too.
Bioshock 2 (ps4/5) - see the description above.
Not much this weekend, just playing a series I should’ve played 14 years ago but was too scared to do so.
Rage 2 (ps4/ps5) - this game is much much better than reviews let on. Love it. I’m trying to get the platinum for it and also 100% the map.
Zack and wiki (wii) - my crohn meds worn out so I had to get a new dosis for the next 7 weeks so I didn’t have the thinking power for the last 3 stages last weekend. Hope I can beat it comming week.
Vader immortal (psvr) - really excited to play this.
Metal slug 3/marvel vs capcom 2/need for speed underground/tom and jerry and the war of the whiskers/several other co-op ps2 games (ps2) - gonna stream these with my boyfriend today.
Zack and wiki (wii) - I’m finishing up the final 3 levels. After that I’ve beaten and ranked 99 games since 2017 and will play a special games that won through a vote as my 100th game.
Legends of heroes: trails in the sky (pc) - as my 100th game I’m gonna play this after it won in a vote on a discord server I’m in. Excited to play it.
Uncharted 2 (ps4/5) - probably gonna play this as game 101.
Metal slug anthology/MS:XX (psp) - ordered these and I’m excited to replay them.
@Jaz007 not yet this update but caves and cliffs part 2 will introduce cave/Z axis basef biomes, will make caves more lively besides the occasional ore and will double the world height limit. Examples of new cave biomes are icey caves in mountain biomes, new plant based caves, thin spaghetti caves, giant pitch black caves, underwater lakes etc.
@Ichiban you jest but I actually bought 4 of these two months ago and I already owned undercover and I was actually planning on trying them eventually. Although I mainly bought them because I’m trying to full set PAL ps3.
Hades (NS) - I bought hades last weekend and I almost reached the true ending already. I was on a good 5 win streak but lost last night. 3 more wins till the credits.
The bureau: xcom declassified (ps3) - wanted to try this game for a while now, excited to play it.
Immortals: fenyx rising (ps5) - hades got me in a greek mood so I’ll be continueing where I left off in january.
@nomither6 everyone has warzone. Warzone is F2P and can be downloaded without owning a cod game (not adviced tho since owning MW2019 and CW gives preparation advantages to warzone)
I still recommend people to play this game if you are a terminator fan. It’s great IMO. Wait till the ps5 version is fixed and otherwise just play the ps4 version.
I finished spec ops: the line and judgment last week, both amazing games that everyone should play.
Harry potter and the order of the phoenix (ps3) - a fun short game, not worth the current ps3 price tag unless you’re a collector like me. Better played on 360, wii or pc since it’s the same game but cheaper. Also no one is getting money from it anymore so there should be no issue with sailing the seven seas for this one. It’s fun as a licensed gen 7 game.
Mirror’s edge (ps3) - the discord server I’m on has a challenge to play and beat 2 games this month that start with an M that aren’t mario games or a digital game. Gonna play it right after HP5.
Mirror’s edge catalyst (ps4) - gonna play this for the same challenge right after the ps3 game.
God of war (ps4) - wanna give this a try finally. I played and beat 1 and 2 on psvita years ago and liked them.
I dunno if anyone missed it since I don’t see any articles on any website but it releases on june 11th. Unless that was already known and I missed it before.

Re: Firesprite Will Produce PlayStation Exclusive Games Outside Sony's 'Core Offerings'
@uptownsoul @get2sammyb sony also made no effort to promote their games. Such a talented studio full of talented industry veterans gone to waste IMO.
Atleast we’re getting new studios with similar purposes in return. I just wish it didn’t cost japan studio.
Re: Firesprite Will Produce PlayStation Exclusive Games Outside Sony's 'Core Offerings'
If only sony already had a studio for unique games…
Maybe one based in japan…
They could’ve called it japan studio.
