I think its too late for them, sure its something for the small circle of hardcore fans it has, but It would literally have to be almost a brand new game if they ever want to redeem their reputation with gamers.
I feel bad, cos they are a small team and they seem to genuinely love what they do and created, I dont think Sony helped by treating it as AAA when it was nothing more than a experimental indie game and then basically abandoning them when the poo hit the fan after release.
Maybe people are just bloody fed up of paying upwards of £50 for games that either dont work properly on day one and having additional paid for content on top - only so much you can push on people before they push back.
As an aside, I agree that Black Friday is the worst thing to happen to retail in this country, a pointless excuse for absolute greed that has no ties to any kind of celebration we have in the UK. Thanks for that Amazon.
Pretty so-so really, but its all subjective, Pretty decent deal on the Deluxe edit of Deus Ex Mankinded for £35.
I might end up purchasing Naruto Shippenden Ultimate Ninja Storm for £15 & GUILTY GEAR Xrd -REVELATOR for £10.99
Definitely genre fatigue, none of the games mentioned have any interest to me, theres only so many times you can run about shooting things in a FPS before you get bored with it.
The best games (and the most fun ive had playing) this year have been with Tomb Raider, Uncharted 4 & Ratchet & Clank, im looking forward to Final Fintasy FFXV but will see how the general reaction is before deciding to purchase at full price or wait..
The games Im looking forward to most next year so far are Sonic Mania and Yooka Laylee, maybe Mass Effect, just good fun, refreshing games that offer something different. I am fed up to the back teeth of FPS Shooters, same thing over and over and over and over.
Plus its been a very expensive year, PS4 Pro, VR, Slim, contrary to what companies think, people are not made of money especially this time of year. I invested in a PS4 Pro which isnt being utilised to its full capabilites due to my full 4k, HDR capable LG TV not being picked up by the blooming console, so thats tee'd me off a little, As im sure it has a lot of people.
Games are expensive, and they are getting more expensive with each passing year, that's before DLC, season passes are factored in. Theres a new COD digital bundle that around the £100 quid mark, tgat is frankly insane. Also, 1st day patches, poor system performance while playing, its just not good enough to justify the launch price and people are a bit more wary .
A lot of high profile games also just haven't been that good either, time of year as well, people have other expenses to pay for this time of year and people may well decide to wait till after Xmas to purchase.
The PS3 was the first generation I completely skipped, starting from way back with the Atari 2600, Sega Systems then PS systems. it just did not appeal to me whatsoever, the distastrous launch probably did a lot a damage for me, and just skipped out of any kind of gaming for that generation.. PS4 and now Pro rebooted the love for me
I got a pretty good deal on the PS4 Pro from game at the weekend there, Console plus Dishonored 2, The Division & Fallout 4 plus 3 months free Now TV for £399, cant really fault that at all
@get2sammyb I have a 4K TV from this year, but not planning on a PS4 Pro..yet, will there be any noticeable updates to patched Pro-enabled games like Ratchet & Clank running on a normal PS4
I have a fair few of these games, I won't be picking up a pro this year but do have a 4K TV, will there will be any difference in output/display if they are being patched
Great to read that, this is the only PS site I read due to the fact it is well written and not sensationalist, I dont always put stock in any kind of review, afterall one persons trash is another persons treasure but I do like to read them on here as it gives you a "proper" review of things.
Keep up the good work and long may you remain as my default browser homepage
I just can't get excited for this game, sure it looks pretty, but it all looks so samey? I mean, apart from catching giant robot things, what else do you do? Is there a story?
I'm getting a strong "No Mans Sky" feeling about it all, I obviously mean the hype, the pretty screenshots, the promised potential etc but nothing has been revealed about what else you actually do
If the price increases in the UK again, I wont be renewing when my annual sub runs out and the end of Sept, it really just wouldnt be worth its asking price
The bandicoot is back for sure, but I think they will roll out one last epic troll and announce at the final conference of the year, and then out in time for the big end of year holiday season
I dont hate digital, I've bought quite a few games Digitally like DriveClub and Injustice Gods of War, but they where under £20 for each of them and its great to have them there for instant convenience.
I pre-ordered the physical MK X with Goro for £34 and recieved it on the Saturday before release, on PSN prices started from £55 upwards plus additional DLC, There is just no way I would ever pay that for a digital game. Its ridiculous.

Re: Soapbox: You Should Stop Pre-Ordering Games
I'm more irritated by over inflated DLC's and season passes, they really are the things that take the rip out of people.
It needs to stop or be scaled back. Games dont feel games anymore because of it
