I don't understand how people think these character models look good. They look awful, nothing like how you'd imagine a realistic version of the original models would look. They've completely taken away the blonde hair of 3 characters and turned it into a browner style, the face models make them look older than they should be and the whole feel is just off for me. Very disappointed in this. The only person that looks remotely like their original character is Sokolov. And Volgin's face scars are a lot more brutal tbf.
I feel like a small minority are now flying the flag for physical media and I respect it, I just don't think you're going to change anyone's mind about it, especially given the way we all consume media nowadays.
It's impressive seeing collections of Youtubers (Mystic comes to mind) but it's a massive undertaking and people don't have the space and for the most part - it's miles more expensive. I've got the vast majority of my games through the digital sales.
@torquex I'd class a remake as remaking the game from the ground up which, judging from the gameplay I've seen that mimics the original MGS3 rather than the fluid movement of MGSV, they haven't done. A remaster would just be a fresh coat of paint - improved visuals and audio. Maybe a few quality of life improvements but nothing major.
Wishlist was the best addition ever to the store. I go through my list, see what's on sale and buy immediately without trawling through pages of dross.
I loved this game from launch. Just you and an open Wasteland. Working out what had happened when the first people left the vaults. It's absolutely packed with NPCs now. Just a completely different game.
@ear_wig Me too, I don't understand the hate. Maybe it's because I played 1 & 2 together but I just thought the story they told was one of the most brilliant, gritty realisations of a post apocalyptic word I've ever seen. The moral choices it raised were extremely deep and I still think about the story on a daily basis.
You should just go and write for the sister site at this point. Xbox showcase was nothing special, preferred the PlayStation one.
Oh, and there was no cringey tweet from PlayStation afterwards showing all the games that will also be playable on PS. I still can't believe everyone loved that classless move from Xbox.
@Vacuumator The lighting model in Syndicate is broken on PS5, it's like strobe lighting. Still playable but very off putting and if you get sick from flashing lights then I would advise not booting it up.
That’s good, I’m making my way through Assassin’s Creed games. Origins is next for me. I’m 48% through Syndicate so it’s not too late to release a patch to fix the shadow glitch that threatens seizures!

@rusty82 Here they are they're so appealing, OK trophies do your pinging.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - PlayStation Console Special
9/10. Got the last one wrong, fewmin.
Re: Throwback N64 Platformer Yooka-Replaylee Looks Dazzling in Upgraded PS5 Remake
This game was great. Play it again you say? I'm in.
Re: Sony Product Manager Urges PS5 Fans to 'Settle Down' Over Ads
The outrage from this was well funny. At least they know what it would be like if they ever did think about going down the ad route.
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 28
3/10. Having a mare lately with these.

Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 27
You scored 1/10, and rank 3,374th out of 3,905!
Yeah that wasn't the quiz for me.
Re: PS5 Players Choose Performance Mode 75% of the Time
I choose fidelity 100% of the time. Never have an issue. Not sure where this framerate snobbery came from. Popped up from nowhere.

Re: Preview: PS5's Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater Is a Fiercely Loyal Remake
From everything I've seen, this is a remaster, not a remake.
Re: Preview: EA Sports FC 25 Promises a Different Kind of Rush on PS5, PS4
FIFA 10 was the best game they've done and they've still not matched it since.
Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Essential Games for July 2024?
Me, I haven't played Borderlands 3 yet. Been flirting with buying the Ultimate Edition every time it's £25 though.
Re: Metal Gear Solid 3 PS5 Remake Given New Trailer, But No Release Date
This is 100% a remaster and not a remake. False advertising at best, all the gameplay movements look exactly the same as they did in the original.
Re: Some PlayStation Fans Are Losing Their Minds Over LEGO Horizon Being on Switch
I truly don't understand why people care.
Re: PS Plus Essential Games for June 2024 Announced
Please can you split what's on Extra and what's on Premium on that list so I don't get my hopes up for summat I won't be able to access?
Re: Prices Plunge on Over 1,500 PS5, PS4 Games in Brand-New Sale

Re: The Last of Us 2 Remastered Director Doesn't Get Fan 'Consternation' Surrounding Re-Release
If people stopped buying them, they'd stop making them. But people can't resist.
Re: Future Looking Bright for Fallout 76 and Its Legions of Players
I loved this game from launch. Just you and an open Wasteland. Working out what had happened when the first people left the vaults. It's absolutely packed with NPCs now. Just a completely different game.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 503
I'm still on my quest to 100% Cities: Skylines
Re: Sony's Big PS Store Black Friday Sale Starts This Week
I need Cities: Skylines DLC to go on sale.
Re: Hitman Maker's New James Bond Game Will Be PS5's Ultimate Spycraft Fantasy
I'd much prefer a scripted experience. Not every game needs to be a sandbox. Sounds like Mr. Barker just wants Hitman 4 with JB as the lead.
Re: All PS Plus Games
@Maddie47 Perhaps you should check the date of my comment.

Re: Comical AEW: Fight Forever Glitches Are Giving the Infamous WWE 2K20 a Run for Its Money
Not even close to 2K20 in terms of that.
Re: Metal Gear Solid 4, 5, Peace Walker Reportedly in Master Collection Vol. 2
I just want Twin Snakes. I'm so bored of them releasing the pixelated PS1 version of MGS.

Re: Reaction: Sony Flubs First Proper PS5 Presentation in Over 18 Months
@lacerz I think it's mad that everyone sees this marketing from Xbox as a win when it's actually cringeworthy.
Re: All PS Plus Games
Just an FYI, in the expiry date bit you've got Mafia II, but it's Mafia Definitive Edition that's free on PS Plus Essential this month.
Re: Fallout 76 - A Shockingly Bad Attempt at Multiplayer Survival
To just repost this review with no updates to it in regards to how the game has evolved is pretty shoddy.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 457
I’m on a PS3 backlog clean up. ICO is the game of choice this weekend.
Re: AEW: Fight Forever Is Channelling PS2, PS1 Era Wrestling Energy
It looks brilliant to be fair. Graphics could probably be better and I hope there are no online trophies, but bar that, I'm looking forward to it.
Re: The Witcher 3 PS5 Version Releases 14th December, Details and Gameplay Coming Next Week
Does it count for those that have the physical edition on PS4?
Re: Official God of War Ragnarok PS5, PS4 Graphics Modes Revealed
Native 4K for me when I get round to playing it in about 5 years time.
Re: PSVR2 Launches 22nd February 2023, Costs $550
Do we know if it can play original VR games yet?
Re: Microsoft Says PS5, PS4 Would Still Be Bigger if Every Call of Duty Player Switched to Xbox
I'm still a bit gutted about Bethesda tbh. Just want a new Fallout game on PS.
Re: The Last of Us Was 'Ahead of Its Time', Sony Wanted 'Definitive Version'
I can't be the only one that thinks The Getaway needs a remake.
Re: Bramble: The Mountain King Tells a Twisted Tale Inspired by Nordic Fables
This game looks like it's right up my street! That looks epic.
Re: AEW: Fight Forever Brings the Smackdown on PS5, PS4
It looks awesome, I can't wait. Not really understanding the graphics complaints, they look fantastic.
Re: Sony Announces PlayStation Stars, a Free Loyalty Scheme for PS5, PS4 Fans
Hope they backdate it if you get them for Platinum trophies.
Re: Reaction: We Need to Talk About PS Plus Premium
@Bionic-Spencer Absolutely this. I would have gone for Premium solely for a Toy Story 2 plat, but it doesn't have trophies. Very disappointing.
Re: Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3 Seemingly Return to PS Store Soon
Saw the picture, thought we were in remake territory. The disappointment I feel is indescribable.
Re: Rumour: PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for July 2022 Possibly Leaked
@Vacuumator The lighting model in Syndicate is broken on PS5, it's like strobe lighting. Still playable but very off putting and if you get sick from flashing lights then I would advise not booting it up.
Re: The Texas Chain Saw Massacre Gets a Gruesome New Trailer, Release Window, Now Coming to PS4
I'm so gutted there isn't a single player game coming out.
Re: The Next Expansion for Fallout 76 Is Coming in September to PS4, and Season 9 is Now Live
I can't be the only one that got the LOST reference in that subheading.
Re: Assassin's Creed Origins 60FPS PS5 Update Could Finally Drop Next Week
That’s good, I’m making my way through Assassin’s Creed games. Origins is next for me. I’m 48% through Syndicate so it’s not too late to release a patch to fix the shadow glitch that threatens seizures!
Re: Sony Shares First Look at PS Plus Extra, Premium Games
There's already so many games on that list I'd been holding off on. If that was the full list I'd be happy!
Re: My Name Is Mayo 3 Rounds Out the Trilogy on 17th May on PS5, PS4
I literally can't wait. Not even joking.
Re: Rogue One Characters Turn to LEGO in The Skywalker Saga
@LiamCroft Ah that makes total sense!
