Oddly enough I remember getting the GameCube copy of Resi 4 way earlier than it's release date thanks to the local GameStop messing about.

@sanderson72
Thanks for the help with that.
It's a fat 80 gig model, I stupidly allowed Sony to send me one to replace my original fully backwards compatible 60 gig one after it totally died a month after launch.
It might be too much for me to handle some of the more technical ones, but as I have a lot of recordings on there and playlists, I might see about getting a professional to look it over if there's a chance it can be saved.

I can't even get my PS3 to come on. I found the red light flashing one day and now if I try and turn it on it turns itself off and the flashing starts again.
Anyone any ideas?

Wasn't really interested in those games, but did resubscribe to take advantage of the £5 top tier for a month, not bad for a month's rental of Forbidden West.😁

I like open world classic JRPGs like the obvious example.
But if you can't make a triple A game without loss of fidelity or bloating it with meaningless collectables, then it needs to be more linear or with separate large areas.

@Hoodie718
Well it sounds closer to something like beat saber than anything to do with drums which is the intended experience.
With the issues of bad collision detection and lack of properly licenced tracks it sounds poorly made.

Maybe a pair of those novelty drums sticks that make sounds when you shake them along to tunes the player actually knows and likes, might be an equivalent if not better alternative for some 😀

@Hoodie718
Sounds a pretty useless experience then.

So how do you play bass drum and operate the hi-hat?

@UltimateOtaku91
Thanks!

@UltimateOtaku91
Where are you renting it from?
Thought that whole thing was long gone.

@TrickyDicky99
I've 2 launch day controllers and regularly have them plugged into a speaker when I'm playing on a monitor, I've never had that problem with either of them. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Just to say again, the demo's a good chance to try it if you haven't liked the look of it before, I think the character's will mellow later and hold the square button to grapple...something the demo doesn't actually explain.

I wasn't that interested in the game until I played the demo, they could have said to hold square to use the grapple magic and it is a bit rough, but I found it very enjoyable and completed it.
Granted Frey and Cuff butt heads and she comes across as overly snarky, but she's supposed to be young and overly confident and I'm sure both characters will improve along the journey and become much less irritating after a bit.

Really looking forward to this more than the Crisis Core Remaster

Saving it for Christmas.
I got the themed PSP bundle when it came out, but got annoyed by the random slot combat that nixed any kind of personal skill. Have they fixed that?

As much as I love the game, this seems a bit of a bad idea.

Not sure I like the sound of bigger and more expansive, sounds like another bloatfest with too much filler like Horizon and recent Assassin's Creed games.

@Grimwood
But can they make it as good as previous installments especially V without certain key members?
It's not assured, so that's why they're still relying on GTAV

@WallyWest
I never said they weren't attempting to make 6, just that they're obviously still not letting go of the money making potential of V.

It just is another example of how scared they are of making GTA6 and are still leaning into the money making of GTAV.

No thanks! Even the standard edition is too much at £65

Delivered today, but saving it for Christmas.

One of the few announcements of the past few years I actually felt excited about almost like the old days.

It's clear 2023 is going to be an excellent year for games, just a pity more of the Spring ones were pushed back from before Christmas, could have spread things out a bit more.

Still struggling to finish the last Atlantis chapter of Odyssey. As good as the DLC is in this case, I guess I'm gonna be avoiding any AC games for a while.

If there's anything from Kojima it might cap it.

Don't know if that was such a good thing to be honest.

No sympathy here.

I'm just glad I didn't renew after my first year of owning a PS5, it's been terrible in all guides since then.

Sounds like Final Fantasy Is ruined even further thanks to Square Enix always chasing what they think is on trend rather than creating something new and different.

Pity. Not for me unfortunately.

Just wondering if they're copying the Ticket Master/Live Nation 'Dynamic pricing' model, to beat the scalpers, by screwing over the customers and selling the controller's at the highest price they think the market can take.

@Fight_Teza_Fight
Fair enough, would have been happy enough with a film, but considering how horrific Higurashi can be it would be interesting, they might be throwing everything at the wall and see what sticks in this day and age, psychological horror or just plain nasty stuff.

I like the fact they have multiple projects going, they can at least pick the best people to go with after this.

Looks good, if it stays close to the original but tightens it up Capcom might need to start worrying.

CGI Anime film?

I haven't seen a comment yet where anyone has said they'll buy it day one at that price.
I could see Sony suddenly dropping it, might even be part of their marketing strategy.

@Shepherd_Tallon
Since you like Alundra so much:
Loved the game when it came out, rented it loads, got to a weird dungeon puzzle I could never solve, called the helpline (expensive) tips never worked.
Thought it was a glitch in that copy.
Bought another pre-rental at a totally different place, same thing.
Ended up buying it for ps3/psp/vita, but have never played it again in case the same thing happens.
Sound familiar, any tips?

Yes, actually, a friend of mine who was studying design at the time pointed it out to me as soon as he saw it, it's a nice touch.
The cover to David Bowie's Black Star album uses a similar trick using cut up black stars to use as the typeface.

I remember when the design leaked, thought it looked cool and still do.
When the retail was shown I loved it and I'm still happy with it.
That said I'd previously had a weird head spin with the PS4 and bought a white drive cover and controller, even though I used to hate any tech that was white previously.
So oddly eased myself into the idea in advance.😀

Very underwhelming, yet another sequel/reboot. Doesn't actually further the overall series story in a meaningful way.

I really thought PS+ Platinum would be the end of demos for plebs. I'm glad to be proved wrong, the more the better!😀

3, ridiculous 🙄

Good! New system separate from the old, both great.

They can go swivel, I was half done with them after Odyssey, totally done now.
Even if it turns out to be untrue and is some subscription thing instead with that and Infinity, it just seems they're always out to con and grift people.

Another co-op by the looks of it.

@Sakisa
Not me in the slightest.😆

@Neverwild
Games companies get greedy and up the price of games, less games get sold and they then complain about less profits and then have to reduce prices, that happened in the 80's with the home computers and with Nintendo and Sega with carts going for £80 or more at one point.
Pretty sure he said about the refusal to have native backwards compatibility in an interview with Official Playstation Magazine.
I haven't said I want him fired, but with all that and the fact he comes across as a cocky unlikable person results in myself and a hell of a lot of other people wanting shot of him and a lot of the decisions he represents.

@Neverwild
He has taken responsibility for unnecessary price hikes, when they were already making profit on the PS5 and games.
He previously stated that he was against the idea of adding in native backwards compatibility as their research showed no one wanted to play older games, but also said he thought his job was to make people buy the same game multiple times and has now added older games as a higher tier in Playstation Plus.

Pretty sure he's also been a driving force behind encouraging multiple remakes instead of new IPs.
He doesn't need to be doing things alone to be anticonsumer, there's nothing to show he hasn't pushed against it or done anything to benefit the people who already own the consoles and have previously bought multiple games.
