Well If they can force production now, and lose a bit of money but get enough people on board PlayStation+ Platinum then I guess a future PS5 pro or PS6 streaming unit could cut back on costs and production of chips.
I'd hate to see that though

@PhhhCough
If enough people sign up for PS+ platinum then I'd say that's very likely, that's why I hope it fails.

Another reason for me not to bother with it, I'm regularly offline for more than a week.

@BReal
People have spent over a century perfecting it, so unless you spend no time in any medium you're still locked in to some degree.

There's only so many gaming hours in your life and while it's nice to revisit old games either on disc or via a sub service I'd prefer the effort was spent either improving the game or on something new. Not on a reward system to keep gamers locked into the same game for longer than necessary.
I mean, it's all a mind trap regardless but don't take the piss.

@Icey664
That's fine, it's a factual statement.
I was just expressing my disappointment at the lack of a named lead character since I like the franchise and played almost all the HP games. I'm not a fan of it in JRPGs either, but there's plenty of other games I can play instead. I'm not demanding them to be cancelled, if other people like yourself enjoy games where you can fully customise an avatar then that's good.

@Icey664
...and I don't like any of those games.

Aside from anything else, I can't say I'm a fan of games without a defined main character.
So as much as I really love the setting, I'll give this a miss.

Can't say I've any interest in it and think the time and effort could have been better spent on something new.
A tiny spiteful piece of me kinda hopes it doesn't sell as much as Sony want it to.

Looks too western and not very 'Silent Hill-ish'

"Billy Corgan; Smashing Pumpkins"
"Homer Simpson; Smiling politely"

"WE WANT CHILLI WILLI!
WE WANT CHILLI WILLI!"

Boooo! Not good.

@mrbone
My point is that it's very wasteful so many people downloading the whole game, for 2 hours worth of content. It's better to just have a small section as a demo for those developers who want to do that.
Unfortunately it seems normal demos will cease to exist and so you will be forced to pay to demo a game, it's bad practice.

Sounds very wasteful of resources, both drive space and electricity, just for a 2 hour demo of a game you might not even like.
Plus won't it mess with the stats they get from the trophies as with some games you get a trophy for practically just loading up the game.

I'm pretty much convinced it's going to be terrible and I haven't lost out on much by not ever subscribing to Now or renewing the one year PlayStation plus sub when I got my PS5.
I don't even think the people who've stacked on either service will probably get much great for the first 12 months either.
It just sounds like a con, like most things these days. 😞

Exactly that, but that's a no brainer as it's an external source they can just recoup revenue from.
The lack of any future potential of inbuilt backwards compatibility like previous consoles is sabotage pure and simple.
It always goes back to his idea of wanting to sell the same thing multiple times instead of using that to back up a userbase to purchase future content.
It seems to me a method that will ultimately stagnate things long term.

@nessisonett
Very annoying, sounds like more of Jim Ryan's dirty work.

@nessisonett
Has it actually been confirmed that the drive is physically incapable or could it be updated with a theoretical update and/or licence purchases?

Lego Dimensions Portal pack IS Portal 3

Not many 'great' deals there.

Yeah...curious...along with Jim Ryan's comments from years ago saying in an interview unashamedly that his job was to make you buy the same game multiple times to give him revenue.

Seems like Nomura is still 'annoyed' about getting kicked from FF Versus XIII

So if you get a PlayStation now 12 month subscription right now would you get moved onto premium from June without having to pay extra?

I liked the adaptive trigger addition, but it's too chunky and my hands were in a lot of pain the first few months, the dual shock 4 had a better shape.

"The problem is, we don’t think you’ll be getting your GTA 6 fix for quite some time."

Partially because of morons buying the same game three or more times over and also because Rockstar are incapable of making a proper sequel and are milking the older games until they get found out

Waste of time, only thing that even slightly interested me was Forspoken and it's been delayed.
And as for the Square Enix games at the end, another strategy game with a medieval setting and while I understand fans of the Valkyrie games might be pleased, it looks like yet another gritty medieval game with large bosses. Those bloody Dark Souls/Bloodborne/Elden Ring games and the people who won't shut up about them have a lot to answer for.

No it won't, I played it when it came out on the PS3 and have no intention of buying it again. I would only be interested in a GTA 6, but I don't think they're capable of making anything good enough to stand alongside the previous games anymore.

Another terrible month, nothing in there to make me resubscribe.

If that's the case they're going to have to do a lot better than that to get me to resubscribe.

Going to wait for a complete version like the first game.

@Burntbreadman
Regarding the PSVR PS5 Adaptor, it seems some scumbags (probably the same enterprising types who use bots to buy all the PS5s and sell them on eBay at twice the price) were applying for the adaptor using other people's serial numbers.
I applied and was told my number had already been used, I eventually got one, but only from spending loads of time on hold and multiple emails, cause I'm THAT damn stubborn.

@theheadofabroom
Yeah, to be honest I was more surprised Scotland even got a look in, London-centric media types really do live up to the cliché.

@Kienda
It's a political thing.
A lot of English people including most games/film/music sites assume U.K.= England.

It's not a UK campaign if it doesn't include Wales and Northern Ireland, this is clearly an English and Scottish advertising campaign.
You would think a division named PlayStation UK would actually know to include all four countries.

What's wrong with listening to Melon Collie & the Infinite Sadness on repeat?

Is it still first person perspective only?
That was what put me off it before.

I got a code, but as I can only connect via phone data I'm a bit wary about how big the download is. Anyone have any idea what the size is?

Despite being wary of it initially, The Wolf Among Us intrigued me so much I read comics again for the first time in decades and read the full run of Fables. Definitely worth checking out if you haven't already.

@nessisonett
Unlikely since he's doing the logo art instead of Amano.

UFC is sickening in any guise.
Tiny Tina is nearly 10 years old and was already given away previously as an add on.
Planet Coaster interested me at the start, but all those DLC packs have put me off the whole thing.
Glad my ps+ sub has run out, I'm not renewing for any of those.

Well just let your subs lapse...
...or maybe that's what they've been trying to get everyone to do!?
.....Quick!!!! Stack as many cheap PS+ 12 month deals as you can!!

@Jacko11
Cheersies!

@Jacko11
May 2022 will be filled with excellent games?
Good to know, I might resubscribe then.

@RubyCarbuncle
I'm older than you and 'back in the day' they weren't asking £70 for a game that was a good bit shorter than comparable games.
Not that I paid anywhere near that price for it though.

Not a bad choice for top game, it is a bit short though.

What kind of level of internet connection do you need to play this?
Could you do it with two PlayStation's on the same wi-fi network?

I'm so sick of having to delete the PS4 version of Death Stranding EVERY time I boot up my PS5, even from rest mode, just because I have to keep the disc in.
It made me accidentally delete Detroit: Become Human, thankfully I had a physical copy, but as I can only connect via phone, the update still used a lot of data, just so I could finish the game.
They really, really need to sort out the operating system menu, it's been over a year, they need to get their act together.

Cool! Next to Monkey Island and Tales from the Borderlands and its awesome OST, this was my next favourite Telltale game, I went on to read though all of the comics after playing it.

Well aside from the now obligatory online game, if true, it could be worse.
I really tried getting into persona 3&4 but they never clicked, but have been advised to give 5 a go. Strikers might be worth adding to my library in case I get into it. Not normally into rally games, but it seems a good addition.
