@LifeGirl Can’t say I disagree. I do appreciate that Liberty had to make it appeal to younger audiences for it to ‘stay alive’ but the outcome of that isn’t great that’s for sure.
I got a feeling they’re working on this new IP and a Days Gone remaster. They know they can’t do a sequel but will want to give a little something to their fan base before their new IP comes out.
Now this is released and we’ve had a quiet PS week; I suspect a showcase announcement this week to coincide with the VERY strong PS subscription additions…
I took DL2 for a short but sweet spin last night and it’s a lovely update but I’ll be wining, dining and PlayStation Five-ing (sorry - I had to..) with Dead Island 2 from today.
Interesting they are mentioning DL3 before they’ve released the promised story DLC for 2.
They know there’s a lot of dislike for the sequel and are speeding up the process for a third it feels like.
I didn’t mind the second game but the side missions were poor (a lot of parkour challenges and not story driven/a mission) and story wasn’t as great.
I’d like a game where you’re outside of any walls and you come across settlements, maybe eventually staying in one for the latter half of the game and then it ends with meeting a villain - setup for their own story DLC/game.
Yup; exactly like others I’ve never played Ratchet and Clank and certainly won’t be paying any price above a tenner given it’ll be on Plus sooner or later.
They’ve seen the reaction to a year delay with no substantial changes and that ultimately that will do nothing to sales.
I reckon it’ll either release late May and pull an Avengers and be wiped from existence within a year or it’ll go through a long scale Dead Island 2 delay for big changes.
@LiamCroft As I say, love this place and certainly not one to denounce it in any way but yes, five rumour articles in the last month seems heavy for a dominantly news driven website.
Maybe a single ‘rumours’ article a month full of speculation etc would work better? Let’s us folk who ignore rumour till it’s fact ignore it?
The support for this game is great but without story DLC I just don’t feel the need to return to it for this. I’d rather they focus on a third game now.
How’d he plan a picture like that for a follow up tweet that quickly? This smells like it’s an intentional leak. Maybe Imsoniac not happy Sony want this under wraps until August?
Ah I wish they’d kept with the Dying Light trilogy after securing such talent. They are so nearly there with a 10/10 zombie game, mix of the first two games with a much better story needed.
Sure this will be great but really looking forward to Dying Light 3.
I’d watch a YouTuber as opposed to playing this myself but having the Unreal Engine 5 optimism then crushed by a PS4 version holding it back is still heartbreaking every time.

Re: Alan Wake 2 Is a Digital-Only Release, $60 on PS5
Bad decision.

Re: F1 23 Takes Pole Position with Braking Point 2 Narrative Deep Dive
F1 World going all Ultimate Team and it seems none of those features are being embedded into single player career/MyTeam modes.
2021 might be the last F1 game I’ll ever buy. Massive F1 fan too, gutted.
Re: Claims of Co-Op in Spider-Man 2 Shot Down by Insomniac
Good. No multiplayer wanted, thanks.
Re: PS5 Exclusivity Over Metal Gear Solid 3 Remake Appears Uncertain
As long as I own it within the next year, couldn’t care less if it’s on Xbox too.
So pumped for it. If I could have MGS, Bioshock and SOCOM for the showcase what a joy it would be.
Re: Rumour: Ghost of Tsushima 2 Not at PlayStation Showcase
Gutted to be honest.
As long as Metal Gear Solid is present; I will not riot.
Re: Days Gone Dev Can't Wait to Show You Its First PS5 Exclusive
I got a feeling they’re working on this new IP and a Days Gone remaster. They know they can’t do a sequel but will want to give a little something to their fan base before their new IP comes out.
Re: Publisher Take-Two Claims It's 'Not Seeing Pushback' From Players on $70 Price Tag
I mean they can come up with this rubbish; sadly even if they charged £90 for a GTA entry it would still sell strongly.
Re: Some PS Plus Users Puzzled by Game Expiration Glitch
Got this on Dishonoured 3 too!
Re: Take-Two to Ship 16 Games in Coming Fiscal Year, Including 'New IP' from 'Premier Studio'
All this the same day as the PS Showcase announcement?
It’s going to be a special one, isn’t it…
Re: Games 'Big and Small' and 'from All Over the World' at PS Showcase
I don’t think it’s coincidental we’ve had this announcement today and we know Santa Monica Studio got a visit from Herman yesterday…
I reckon GoW DLC en route.
Re: PlayStation Showcase Finally Announced for 24th May
THANK THE HEAVENS
Re: PlayStation Showcase Is 'Happening Very Soon', Says Reliable Reporter
Just give us the goddam announcement.
I’m actually so bored of my Twitter feed being purely speculation now.
Re: 22 More PS Plus Extra, Premium Games Available to Download Now
Ratchet and Clank date tonight then.
Re: Not Even Sony's Been Able to Avoid the Enormous Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Hype
Now this is released and we’ve had a quiet PS week; I suspect a showcase announcement this week to coincide with the VERY strong PS subscription additions…
Re: 23 Games Hit PS Plus Extra, Premium Next Week in Big Update
Rift Apart finally!!
Re: Concrete Genie Developer PixelOpus Is Shutting Down
A lot of judgements being made - I’m sure Sony had more concrete reasons to do this then just not liking their newest title.
Re: PS5 Pro Is '100%' Happening, Says Reliable Report
Let’s get some bloody first party games announced before even more hardware yeah Sony?
Re: EA Sports F1 23 Brings Back Dramatic Story Mode Braking Point on PS5, PS4
After last years piss poor attempt and given I’m not into Braking Point, I’m going to need something more substantial to purchase this year.
I used to buy it every year but not anymore. GT7 is perfectly acceptable.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 474
Played no more than 2 minutes of Star Wars Survivor yesterday so ahead of a bumper F1 weekend, I’ll be playing that. It looks incredible.
Re: Sony Reassures All That Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Release Date Is on Track for PS5
@rjejr Sorry, meant 23-24 Q4 not 2024’s Q4 😉
Re: Sony Reassures All That Marvel's Spider-Man 2's Release Date Is on Track for PS5
Fiscal year is important. Could still be pushed to 2024 in 23-24s Q4 😉
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Has 2023's Most Essential PS5 Patch (So Far)
Amazing news. CANNOT wait for this.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Accessibility Options, Slow Mode Detailed
That’s amazing for accessibility and coincidentally such a good feature for Star Wars games. Amazing work.
Embargo’s lifted today and I think we could get 85+ on Metacritic. This is shaping up to me a beautiful game.
Re: CMA Expected to Rule in Favour of Microsoft's $69 Billion Acquisition of Activision Blizzard Tomorrow
All I can do is pray that Sony finally reveal their summer showcase when the verdict is given to spin the attention their way.
That would be some clever thinking.
Re: What New Zombie Game? Dying Light 2's Gut Feeling Update Is Out Today
I took DL2 for a short but sweet spin last night and it’s a lovely update but I’ll be wining, dining and PlayStation Five-ing (sorry - I had to..) with Dead Island 2 from today.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Motion Capture Work May Be Complete
Give us a trailer or some footage you cowards!!
Re: Techland Is Not Announcing Dying Light 3, Just Polling Players on Possible Protagonists
@Nepp67 100% - it feels that they knew people loved the parkour in the first game so went totally overboard with it in the second.

Re: Gallery: Is Horizon Forbidden West: Burning Shores the Best Looking Game Ever?
Am I right in thinking they’ve updated the main game graphics in this update too? Sure I saw people on Twitter commenting on improvements.
Re: Hogwarts Legacy Fans Livid Quidditch Is Allegedly Being Sold as a Separate Game
Well the only way to prove it wasn’t is to announce that Qudditch DLC nice and early then Portkey…
Re: Suicide Squad PS5 Game Delay Now Official, Out in February 2024
To make it the best game possible? Yeah, going to need another 8 years.
Re: Aliens: Dark Descent Nails That Oppressive Alien Atmosphere in Latest Preview Gameplay
When are we getting an Alien Isolation sequel? That was incredible.
Re: Sony's PS Store Spring Sale Updated with Another 450 PS5, PS4 Offers
Yup; exactly like others I’ve never played Ratchet and Clank and certainly won’t be paying any price above a tenner given it’ll be on Plus sooner or later.
Re: State of Play Showcase Set for Thursday, Final Fantasy 16 the Focus
Acquisition confirmed in all but name then.
Re: Still No Official Suicide Squad Delay as Game Fast Approaches Late May Release Date
They’ve seen the reaction to a year delay with no substantial changes and that ultimately that will do nothing to sales.
I reckon it’ll either release late May and pull an Avengers and be wiped from existence within a year or it’ll go through a long scale Dead Island 2 delay for big changes.
Re: Final Fantasy 16 on PS5 Will Have a World Map Like in Final Fantasy 10
This game looks incredible but holy crap my backlog is getting outrageous.
And Dead Island 2 AND Star Wars coming up. Wow.
Re: Star Wars Jedi: Survivor's PS5 File Size Might Be Ridiculous
Got SSD space about a year ago; bring it on.
Re: Atomic Heart Update 1.4 Adds 120fps Support on PS5, Fixes Trophies, More
So much to clear on my backlog but definitely want to have a crack at this someday.

Re: Rumour: PS5 Pro Really Is Targeting 2024 Release Date
Love this site a lot but I feel there’s more rumours than fact on here at the minute.
In all honesty it’s probably because of Sony’s lack of transparency but hey!
Re: E3 2023 Has Been Officially Cancelled
And within minutes Geoff Keighley did a tweet about Summer Game Fest. Let the body go cold Geoff. Crikey!
Re: Confusion About Assassin's Creed Mirage's PS5, PS4 Release Date After Dataminer Predicts Delay
@scoobdoo You’re joking, right?
Re: Dying Light 2 Major Update Improves Combat System, Adds Transmog on 20th April
The support for this game is great but without story DLC I just don’t feel the need to return to it for this. I’d rather they focus on a third game now.
Re: Final Fantasy 16's Jaw-Dropping PS5 World Will Make You Say Wow
Not played Final Fantasy since I was a kid but this, this is worthy of attention. Bravo.
Re: Marvel's Spider-Man 2 PS5 Releasing in September, Massive Ad Campaign Planned
How’d he plan a picture like that for a follow up tweet that quickly? This smells like it’s an intentional leak. Maybe Imsoniac not happy Sony want this under wraps until August?
Anyway, very excited to hear more!
Re: Techland Ditches the Zombies, Working on Open World Fantasy Epic Next
Ah I wish they’d kept with the Dying Light trilogy after securing such talent. They are so nearly there with a 10/10 zombie game, mix of the first two games with a much better story needed.
Sure this will be great but really looking forward to Dying Light 3.
Re: Stray Souls Brings Unreal Engine 5 Powered Scares to PS5, PS4 in Fall
I’d watch a YouTuber as opposed to playing this myself but having the Unreal Engine 5 optimism then crushed by a PS4 version holding it back is still heartbreaking every time.
Re: Talking Point: Is 2024 Too Soon for PS5 Pro?
Wouldn’t be surprised if this rumour is based on an old Sony roadmap before COVID really affected the PS5 and the lack of true PS5 games
Re: Expect to Hear 'Much More' About The Last of Us Multiplayer Game Later This Year
@4kgk2 You need to look into the definition of the word ‘latter’. I’m a huge Naughty Dog fan 😉
