I'll pick it up very cheap or on plus some time down the line. No rush played through a few times. It's not what I wanted from Naughty Dog TBH. But I get why they did it. It's got to be better than laying off staff between games. Better they are working productively. I'm sure it's releasing on PC to help cover costs. I think it's nice they're thinking of the workers. Let's hope they get straight on the new game after. Great way to keep continuity and talent in the workforce.
@Bagwag82 I was working away from home in Manchester and went out that evening with a colleague to a retro arcade bar and played operation Wolf, in its original cabinet still. Had great fun. I've always had a light gun if available. I used to love operation Wolf on the Sega master system back in the day or later on, on my psone playing time crisis
I'd like the multiplayer for the last of us 2 to get a date and they can throw in a proper ps5 update to the main game at the same time. Other than that I'm up for a few surprises from some of the studios that have been quiet of late.
I'm old enough to remember when people said best arcade games. They were exactly that. Outrun, afterburner, ridge Racer, time crisis, street fighter. Operation Wolf, etc. I can imagine Dirt 5 in a great arcade cabinet.
I've only ever owned a Nintendo Wii before, which I bought 1 Christmas for my daughter. But strangely now I'm thinking of getting a switch as I'm in hotels a couple of nights a week with work and it might be a good distraction from being in bars and pubs. Funny to think gaming might improve my health.
I'd love a remaster of Thunder Force 4, and a complete modern remake of ESWAT, Zillion 2, space Harrier, golden axe. I'm not sure these are all Sega though but I loved playing them on my master system and megadrive. So I can dream. I'm not as interested in more recent games being remade just modern interpretations of great old games
@MatthewJP Yes loved it on the master system. Shooting the magazine's on the floor to top up ammo was a great mechanic.That and shooting the knives away and seeing them deflect into the background. I went to a retro arcade bar a few weeks back while away with work and got to play Operation Wolf on an original arcade machine it was in surprisingly good condition and still great fun.
@hobbes242 You can by bust A move now for PS4 and 5. Its called it's original name puzzle bobble 2. Its really cheap. Also there's a new modern version that I'll be picking up when it's reduced. You've made me fell very old it's my wife's favourite game 😅
@Adol_Xin I literally picked this up for the first time when it got it's ps5 patch a little while ago. Came here to say I'd probably be finishing GTAV off this weekend. Its a blast mate not sure how I didn't get round to it earlier
@kyleforrester87 Have a great time. I went to York last summer whilst on holiday. Had so much fun drinking there. All 9 of us get so drunk even my youngest daughter who was 16 at the time had no problems getting served. Went to a brilliant old pub near the yorkvic center which served some great local brews. I probably missed a bit of culture but we all had great fun. The kids were perfect age to drink with, 16,19,19,21,23. Think it was the punch bowl we had a lot of fun at.
I'd take Taito legends for some new Zealand story and rainbow island. But for me the only old games I like are classic 16bit shoot um ups. I think I'm alone here when I say I only want to try new experiences on my ps5 not interested in going back other than the previously mentioned. But great for those that do. Maybe it's my age but during the ps1 and 2 era the only retro I want is a rave and a couple of doves
@TheArt I was born in the mid 70's. I know it's like I've got mates that haven't got round to seeing starwars. Think I was always distracted at launch. Then once it's on the back burner there is always something new to play. Just happened to be at £9 when I'd finished a game, and I don't really have a backlog. This gen I'm trying to buy to play
I'm part to blame if GTAV is in the download charts for last week. £9 couldn't argue. Its my first GTA game and I'm loving it, such a fun open world to get lost in. The story is keeping me engaged and Trevor has some great one liners. I'll definitely be getting no.6 when it does eventually come assuming it's not infected by the vocal woke brigade.i wouldn't want the satire being turned down it's great as it is.
I want to play GTAV but haven't yet worked out how to download it. So I downloaded the online yesterday. Hopefully there is a link. Any suggestions I would greatly appreciate
Going to be controversial here. The best game I've played on my ps5 is the last of us 2. First time I played it and I waited for the ps5 patch. The game I've been most disappointed with was Spider-Man. Not sure if it was hyped to much for me, I loved the main missions but the busy work on the map sucked my will to live at times
@Uncharted2007 That's exactly what it is. Bought it digitally a long time ago. Looks like it's getting a physical release. I assume that's the case and it's not a mistake. It's not a bad game I definitely had some fun
@lolwhatno You to bud. The uncharted update at 60 FPS made a big difference for me, added to the fact I imported my old trophies and therefore didn't worry about any treasure hunting and the like. Then just concentrated on the game and puzzles really improved the flow for me. Definitely more immersion that way than the way I previously played it.
@lolwhatno No mate. Had a launch day PS1 and every console since even the vita. I'd got the upgrade of the uncharted and not played since it came out and had a blast. As for Spider-Man I'd been putting it off for a while due to friends feedback. Got to admit I didn't really enjoy it far to much busy work for my liking. Probably the least I've enjoyed a ps exclusive in a long while if not at all. I still have Miles Morales to play but that's going on the back burner for a while now. Understand I'm in the minority with that opinion but doubt I'll be buying the sequel.
I've had the week off and finished Spider-Man off And uncharted 4. I'm thinking sniper ghost contracts 2 which I picked up in a sale a while back should tide me over till the new Horizon drops.
Good bye playing COD with only playstation players. Hello cross platform play only. Looking forward to getting beaten by hacking pc players. Sounds like fun
@oconnoclast Great comment. I've never insulted anyone more than my mates and never been insulted more by anyone than my friends. I don't want to play in a world of introverts and people lacking charisma who struggle with social interaction. The plenty of variety of games for them anyway. They need to stop making homogeneous games
@Constable_What Honestly I believe the reason the scored board was not in was a conscious decision because someone in management deemed it may upset snowflakes and it causes people to troll each other. Little Timmy might not be able to handle his position. I'm old but the world is crazy to me. Nearly all my friends online were once people I met and we through insults at each other and kept trying to out do each other. 10 or so years later we still have so much fun together and we're still so cutting with each other. Our group will hardly ever grow now as we are always in private parties so we don't offend the eternally offended brigade.
@willi3su Not even close for me uncharted 2 is head and shoulders above 4 I literally preferred everything from volume of enemies to the puzzles and story. 4 looked spectacular though and a great game so I get why people prefer it. Just third for me after 2 &3
I only actually played control. So pretty easy for me to decide on best month. I'd play more there are some good games given out, but I struggle with time for the games I buy myself.
Nothing for me this month. Not that bothered as I buy the games I want and don't have enough time to play much else. I get psplus to play online. Its not often I get a game I like that I don't have already.
@Futureshark Literally came here to say I'll definitely be picking this up, and really hoping Thunderforce 4 gets some love on the PS5. One of my favourite games of all time.
I bought the last of us 2 to play on my ps5, got about 4 hours under my belt last night and am loving it. £34.99 permanent price drop. Been looking forward for a while but been so busy with work great timing with price drop
I'm going against the grain here. It's actually a good month for me. My best mates son is autistic and when the family come round, which is often, he plays the playstation while we drink, eat and be merry. I know he'll love this. Also my youngest daughter loves tennis but I'd never have bought a tennis game so maybe we can catch some fun together with this. Who knows 16 is a funny age. So I'm happy to take the opportunity.
@nomither6 It had plenty of issues especially around the micro transactions. But I felt the moment to moment gameplay was some of there best cod has ever produced. I much preferred it to modern warfare or cold war. The specialists could be annoying but the speed and fluidity of the gun play was great and kept me hooked much longer than the more recent CODs
@Dan_ozzzy189 I'm sure you're right, I just remember loving them on my master system and megadrive. Regardless if Sega made them I'd really love to play a modern version especially Thunderforce 4 remade to the standard of Dariusburst on the PS4 or better
Sounds good to me, I play online often so need plus, but I hardly ever play the games. Not because they haven't added quality games but because I buy the games I want and well before they appear on plus usually. A couple of films a month to watch with the family would be great and gives extra value to me.

Did push square years ago and I mean years ago post an article that Sony had patented a process to retrospectively add trophy support to old games. It seemed pretty pointless at the time. Seems really useful now.
