@RogerRoger I'm also a bit confused by this: "containing classic designs for Luke, Leia, Han Solo, Darth Vader, and Lando. They're all based on the original designs from 1999."
Surely you mean 1977? They weren't in anything from 1999 were they?
I can't wait. Held off having PS Now because I felt it was a bit excessive with all I have to play, but the subscription as a whole is really appealing. Hope there's an easy way to upgrade because I'm signed into PS Plus until like 2025.
@somnambulance The only reason the DualSense wouldn't top my list is because it's way too big. It's uncomfortable for me to reach all the buttons properly so Lord knows what it's like for a child. I do have small hands though.
I'm the biggest Sonystan you're probably ever gonna meet and I'mma let you finish, but the Gamecube controller is without doubt the best, most ergonomically designed controller there has ever been. The best controller of all time.
I completely understand the frustration with the game being online only and then something like this happening. But personally I think it's better than having leaderboards on time trials where someone has completed trial mountain in 3.2 seconds, so I also understand why they've done it.
MTX are not the devil. Gran Turismo games have literally always been a grind to get a decent amount of credits. I've played all of them apart from 6 and Sport and it definitely could have always benefited from better rewards. If there were no MTX in this game, the rewards would be the same guaranteed. Why not give people the option to max out Daddy's credit card for the best cars? Seems like good business sense to me.
This was an excellent film. Full of little nods to the franchise on PlayStation but coming in with a somewhat unique take. It surpassed my expectations. Tom Holland is much better as Nathan Drake than I thought he would be. I really don't understand all the negative reviews.
Ignore the negative reviews this film is absolutely brilliant. Tom Holland is much better as Nathan Drake than I expected and I enjoyed it thoroughly. A great film to kick off PlayStation's involvement in the movie scene. Looking forward to the inevitable sequel!
@Shepherd_Tallon I'm also excited for Spartacus. I was lucky enough to get a PS5 on launch but my friend wasn't. He has just been claiming the PS5 games every month and now that he has one, he's loving life.
I think people expect too much from it personally.
I'll probably get flamed here but I can't be the only one that doesn't see a problem? The game can still be claimed. It's been 1 PS5 game and 2 PS4 games for ages now...
@Deadlyblack Yeah I think the spring is gone in R2 thanks to Wreckfest. My car was dying so haptic feedback was really strong and then something just went and now it's dead loose.
I'm pretty annoyed by this. I got rid of my PSVR when I'd played all the games I wanted to and then Drunkn Bar Fight finally got a patch for their unobtainable trophies. I need the old headset for like 10 minutes and I'll be happy. Wish I could just play it through PSVR2.
Big rally game fan, I felt like Dakar 18 looked a bit below par, but this looks amazing. Something to keep me occupied once I've done WRC 10 which I'm getting for Christmas.
@Daveuppercut I still get excited by these events but I rarely watch them live. I find it much more pleasurable to wait until the next day when Push Square has ordered all the trailers neatly for me in one article
I don't think any of them deserve it. Been staring at the list for about half an hour but it's like someone said above, there really hasn't been a standout this year.
I'm working my way through NFS: Payback. Got it free on PS Plus from ages ago. Why did no-one tell me it was a PS version of Forza Horizon? It's brilliant! Having a great time.
I honestly don't know what people are moaning about, these look awesome. I'm just finishing off GTA III now in preparation for these new ones. I can tell you straight away that the improvements will make life so much easier:
Mr Whoopee spawning in St Marks instead of nowhere (I counted 3!)
Radar telling you where you are and where to go.
Much improved graphics
Songs seem to be pretty much all in tact.
Cars look more durable in GTA III
Actual sunshine in Liberty City
I love that they didn't mess with the car audio.
Widescreen!
Being able to move the camera.
I just want to know if Vice City will be the version that edited the Cuban / Haitian mentions.
That's just the stuff I spotted while watching and I'm completely sold on it.
Yo San Andreas, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish but Vice City was one of the best video games of all time…one of the best video games of all time!
Complaining about free films. Moan, moan, moan...if it doesn't increase the price, no-one is forcing you to watch the films at gunpoint. We already get 3-4 free games a month and it's still not good enough for people. I thought Sony didn't have a toxic fandom...
@KeldorTheCursed It is incredibly difficult to master but when you do, you can float round the tracks. I found tarmac / asphalt the absolute hardest. I was incredible on snow, even if I do say so myself.
@Steel76 I couldn't agree more with this. All the rubbish games I've bought or tried are now back staring me in the face. My purchased list on PS4 is so neat I want the same with PS5!
I've never understood why companies remove features when releasing something new.
A game not many people are talking about, WRC 9, really does feel next gen. I can't explain how good the controller is on this game. You feel like you're going through gravel, tarmac, varying degrees of snow. It mimics ABS perfectly as well.
@get2sammyb I've read a lot of negativity about the sound quality over wireless, more specifically with the PS4. Something to do with the virtual surround sound?

Re: Gran Turismo 7 PS5, PS4 Offline and Unplayable for Over 24 Hours
@PenguinL But again, GT games have always been a grind, it's just now you have the option to spend money if you want.
I still stand firm with the opinion that these rewards would be just as bad if there were microtransactions or not.

@Kidfunkadelic83 That's it. I can't help but feel things have to be held back for them to be on older consoles.

Re: WRC 9 - Haptic Feedback Helps Bring the World Rally Championship to the Next Generation
I've encountered no bugs and the only disappointing thing was the 'pop in'. I watched a fence being built as I raced along the way.
Other than that, the haptic feedback through the Dualsense is unrivalled and the graphics are stunning. I'm really having a blast.
Or I was until I signed for Hyundai, can't control their car for love nor money.
