@MakersMark I will! I bought the entire trilogy recently, but now that I have played through more than half of Little Hope I actually think I liked Man of Medan more. Still enjoyable, though.
Until Dawn is one of my favourite PS games ever! Can't wait! I'm actually playing Little Hope and while it's a little better than Man of Medan it has yet to grip me.
Playstation exclusive you say? That is such a 2000s expression 🤣 Just stop with this nonsense already. We all know every so-called exclusive will end up on PC eventually. Still no reason to switch to PC as far as I'm concerned.
Glad I got a Vita and a PS3 recently. Gaming has gone rogue over the last few years, catering to multiplayer time and money thieves. Just to echo the sentiment of some of the guys here- I can see this console gen to be the last one for me and I'll stick to retro.
@astro911 Well, so I lied when I said I loved Vampire in ALL its forms as battle royale is not my cup of tea haha. Hopefully we'll get an update on Bloodlines 2 soon because it looks like it is in development hell.
@astro911 Thanks a ton! I'll get Swansong eventually as I love the Vampire franchise in all its forms, but not at that price and maybe some of the jank will get patched. Still holding out hope for Bloodlines 2 😐
I'll be getting both Vampire games (Coteries of New York etc) and that's it. Got enough on my plate already and my PS3 arrives tomorrow so I'm planning a big spending spree on PS3 games.
@Dudditz09 Thanks for the input! Appreciate it 🙂 @ApostateMage You're not alone. I have 3 playthroughs of CP2077 under my belt and I'm pretty sure that's not the end. It's a great game, but I'd say you have to like cyberpunk in general and/or Blade Runner to appreciate this game.
@LN78
Congrats on getting one. I wanted to buy one too, but at our local eBay wannabe in Poland the prices of that thing are nearing the retail price of PS4 when it hit the market. Looking at the gaming world of today I simply felt like the golden days of gaming were the PS2/PS3 days and felt it's a good idea to go back in time 😉 Buying a hacked Vita for PS1 and PSP games certainly helped with that.
Just finished my 3rd playthrough of Until Dawn. I really love the Supermassive Games horror formula so I bought their Dark Pictures Anthology and will be starting Little Hope soon. Apart from that- got a PS3 so I can go back to stuff like Condemned 2, Motorstorm and Lair (yep, I liked that game). Thinking about buying a PS2, as well, but I'm worried about picture quality on a 4K tv. Can anyone give me some tips on that? Is it bearable, at least? Not gonna pay for Sony's new sub service, that's for sure. On Switch: still Mario Party Superstars with wife and daughter. On Vita: Uncharted- Golden Abyss (really loving it). Have a great weekend guys and gals!
@Eldritch They will, obviously. I love Codies' rally games for the legacy WRC cars and rallies. I have little to no interest in what people call WRC these days.
I honestly can't wait for this. Naughty Dog can do no wrong as far as I'm concerned. However, I agree that this remake isn't really needed, unless they add some new content (a new chapter? A flashback to Joel's past as a hunter?). We'll know soon enough.
I paid for Game Pass long enough to see its advantages, but also long enough to realise subscription services are not for me. Not nearly enough time to game and I like the fact that I can play at my own pace. The backwards compatibility catalogue is nothing compared to what I can play on my hacked Vita. Actually I'm going to let my PS Plus sub lapse and that will be it. I'm happy for those who will find it useful though. It's nice of Sony to make this an option.
I dropped Mafia 3 after realising how repetetive it is. Oh well, at least I had fun with Mafia 1 and 2. Started my 3rd playthrough of Until Dawn and it's still a blast. On Switch: still Mario Deluxe U On PS Vita: still Dragon's Crown, but it's starting to get a bit stale
I've got both a Switch and a Vita and I love both. Gotta say, though, that the Switch is mostly for my daughter and I've been having more fun with my Vita. Never expected to be into handhelds and now I can say that I'll also get a Steam Deck when it becomes readily available.
@UltimateOtaku91 Well said. I feel exactly the same way. That's why I bought a Vita to enjoy retro games and all I play on my PS5 lately is PS4 story-focused games. If things continue the way you described I can see myself only playing retro games.
In my case it's the following: PS5- Mafia 3 (really liking it so far, too bad Mafia 2 is broken beyond redemption) Switch- Mario Party Superstars with my daughter PS Vita- Dragon's Crown (love the artstyle)
@BReal Thanks a ton! I kind of already agree as to Lincoln 😉 Oh and one thing I absolutely love about all Mafia games- some of the best gunplay and enemy reactions to getting shot in gaming history!
I loved the remake of the first Mafia, but couldn't finish part 2 due to a gamebreaking bug in Chapter 11. I've just started part 3 and so far I like it. In other words, sign me up!
PS5: Mafia 3 (gave up on Mafia 2, too many bugs) Switch: Mario Deluxe U Vita: Dragon's Crown Really loving the Vita and its OLED display. Kinda wish I had gone with an OLED for my main PS5 tv. Have a good one guys!
@RevGaming No worries mate. I guess I'm a bit jaded having been into gaming since 1991. What I meant is lack of creative risk that most games suffer from these days. I'm way more excited to play Dino Crisis or Parasite Eve on my Vita than, say, Ghost of Tsushima or Death Stranding. Both games have been sitting on my wishlist for what feels like ages and I don't feel like buying them even when discounted. Returnal would be a game I'd like to try but just like Bloodborne it would kill me due to frustration. Still, this is what I meant by games with a soul.
Just to counter the negativity from some of the guys here: I have a PS5 and I've been spending my evenings lately playing the likes of Fighting Force and Fear Effect on my Vita. To me, today's games are mostly bloated money-making machines with little to no soul. Sony finally acknowledging the legacy games is great stuff.
So I'm good with just my Vita then. I'm actually relieved. Not interested in streaming PS3 games and the rest is available on Vita (hacked, but still).
@Martin_C Yeah, I get the feeling that once I get to later levels it's going to be tough. So far I've made it through the Ruins and haven't lost anyone yet. I don't know why but I sense that when some characters die on me I'll be upset/sad which I didn't expect coming in. Overall, I really like the game, art style and oppressive atmosphere.
I only expect PS3 games to be downloadable. If not then I won't be upgrading my Plus. Streaming is cool but it's not what it's cracked up to be yet. For everything else retro my Vita is more than enough for me.
I got my PS Vita two days ago. It's hacked to all hell, came preloaded with all sorts of stuff and I'm already enjoying it a lot! So: On PS5: Mafia 2 (great game) On Switch: Mario Bros Deluxe U (loving it) On Vita: Darkest Dungeon (early into the game, but I can already tell it's going to kick my butt). Enjoy your weekend guys!
@R1spam I can already tell you to get it if you're at least slightly interested in it. It's my second playthrough (first one on XSX a year ago) and I bought it for the Switch as well. Great art style, soundtrack, interesting characters and story. It's not a long game (an advantage in my book) but pretty memorable. Perfect to play in between AAA+ games. I highly recommend it!
On PS5 it's still GT7, but I'm about to start Mafia 2: DE. On Switch it's State of Mind and Worms W.M.D. I'm actually loving the Switch more than I ever expected which leads me to consider getting a PS Vita as well. Happy Easter guys!
On PS5, I'm still on GT7 and will be for a loooong time to come. On Switch: Mario and Rabbids. Gotta say, the Switch is so refreshing in terms of what it offers, both sofware and hardware wise. I haven't had this much fun with a console for a long time. It's also my first ever handheld and I'm glad I got it.
Actually, none. I toyed with emulating PS1/2/PSP back in the day and those games looked and played badly (and they had upgraded visuals which Sony surely will not do). PS3 games is what I was only interested in but not in a streaming format.
As someone whose Game Pass Ultimate sub expires in May I'm not and never again will be into the subscription model. Way too many games. You feel forced to play them, otherwise you feel like you're overpaying. I have no interest in PS1,2 and 3 games. I already have all the exclusives I want. Actually, I got so excited by this news that I bought a Switch 😂
@Kidfunkadelic83 Yep, it's the real deal. I played it on XSX a year ago and really enjoyed it. Solitude in space, with a lot on the line and a focus on plot, rather than combat. I recommend it if you like any of the above.
@Dudditz09 Good call. It really is a unique game. I haven't seen another such faithful representation of life in Medieval times in a game. Also, Cryengine really makes the game pleasing to the eye 👍
Still GT7 and CP2077. Don't feel like rushing through any of them. I did buy Kingdom Come: Deliverance Royal Edition in the last sale as I played it at launch on PC and enjoyed it immensely.
Nope. Sorry Kaz. Too little, too late. How about 5 mil? No? Ok then. On a serious note, I think that was a good move on their part, even if somewhat forced and expected.
@Voltan Thanks! I'm, in turn, happy to hear that it worked out for your brother. I learned that it's not so much the fur, as the cat's saliva that is the allergen. It just so happens that their fur is full of it.
@EquiinoxGII My thoughts exactly. I actually think it makes way more sense than having two rally titles in Dirt and WRC (the Codies version). I do hope that Codies' WRC game will have historic rallies and cars as I'm not a fan of what WRC stands for these days.
Yes! A new rpg from the same studio that made the excellent CP2077. Yes, you read that right. Also, I hope it leans on the books. If it's anything like the Nerflix show I'll be staying away from it.

Re: The Last of Us PS5 Remake Allegedly a Major Holiday Release
