@nessisonett Recently set up a MiniPC with Batocera for exactly that. Plays PS2 bang on and managed to get most of the big WiiU titles running acceptably. 78 quid for the machine and having a right blast with the achievements. Building a cabinet or it's going in the camper I think.

@Perryg92 Pity they've gone this route really. RCT3 on Switch is a really good port and I would have undoubtedly bought it for the 3rd time. This game is just out and out shocking.

@BoldAndBrash DO WORK!! https://youtu.be/w5Ai81fBvJQ

Planet Coaster is worth anyone's time, especially as it supports M+K on console.

HOWEVER...isn't Tiny Tina's DLC from a game that was ALREADY given as the full package in June 2019, this DLC included?

EA cash grab...not for me, not for anyone.

@nessisonett Was the 360 not PowerPC also? As well as the Wii/GC? Thought it was more to do with the CPU architecture but no expert...

AFAIK all back compat across consoles is emulated in some fashion so it's not a silly question to ask why the same can't be done by Sony by any means, just look at all the work done on RPCS3 over the last decade by hobbyists - they've somehow managed to emulate the CELL on a WIntel system.

Not quite the same thing but every single PS3 model can now be soft-modded to run almost every PS2 game, something Sony said they couldn't do/refused to do. In the same vein, the aforementioned RPCS3 can be ran on a modded PS4 to emulate PS3 games on a PS4.

I don't think it's a case of can't, just won't. If given access to current gen dev tools, I have absolutely no doubt that an enthusiastic bunch of tinkerers could get it working.

Invite link went live 8am...was in within 2 minutes and no consoles available. Then the queue then went live for general sale for a 10:30am release (didn't have to queue as was already in from the morning) and they were never in stock.

We go again...hopefully they actually sell some this time.

Included in the Black Friday sale on the store as well if you were to end up enjoying it

@tomassi £39 on the Indian store so can save a few quid for minimal effort but even at that price I'll still be waiting for reviews

£22.85 with a shopto £25 voucher.

@Integrity Ooo, so it's what you get when you order Among Us off Wish?

@Quintumply Not sure if worth mentioning but Racket Fury is currently free on store for PS Plus members whilst we're on the PSVR subject. Possible error.

@Rob_230 Keyboard & Mouse is an option too. I find myself using a bit of a hybrid depending on what I'm doing.

Will probably do a buy whether I play it or not - seems a fitting way to sign off my non-CFW Vita.

Love the machine, fortunately the community is keeping it alive with the recent GTA ports etc.

Thank god for extra challenges and alterations to the XP rewards. Was hoping for something to appear to limit the final grind to 100 - haven't picked it up in weeks, this might mean I get that plat now.

I always a find a virtual trip to Turkey makes the prices far more palatable...

@Kefka2589 Yeah assumed it would be something like that.

Even that way they can't control the pricing to the same extent as a digital game, and less of that money goes into the devs pockets once all overheads are paid/retailers/logistics etc etc...

They're essentially already quids-in when someone buys digital (despite Sony's cut) and so I guess it's almost rewarding the fact you're paying a premium price off the bat for the digital version.

I don't know the ins and outs of it all but guessing someone out there has broken down where the cash goes for each format...I'd put (a very small amount of) money down on the fact that one full price digital version nets them a not too dissimilar amount than a couple of physical copies sold through retailers.

@Kefka2589 Buy PS4 disc, remove code, sell PS4 disc day after, get PS5 version for the cost of the difference...

Unless they went down the CoD:Ghosts route where the last-gen disc had to be in the tray to verify the license for the digital version then it's simple to see why they wouldn't do it.

@Mitsui Search it through the store and then for some reason it comes up about 20 items down.

You called it - on sale for 4 quid after less than a fortnight.

@Paranoimia Think these are linked to the "Share information with Sony" preferences. Mine's turned off (like any sensible person should be doing) and never received anything like that despite platting numerous games that off themes as rewards.

Jazz Jackrabbit Remastered incoming...

@Robocod sounds like it's worth registering and popping them on your watch list... Sales go live at 12 midnight tue/Wed normally so I regularly wake up to email notifications of price drops I've been waiting for.

@Dange I think it might be down to uncapped frame rate in the menus as someone's said that after a few crashes they have managed to get in, and once past the menu section it runs fine. . Let me know how you get on though.

Anyone else having catastrophic crashes with this new update? The moment I go to start the training my PS Pro's fans crank up to 10000% as soon as I click play and then it shuts my Playstation down about half a second after. Never had an issue with any other games or had a genuine overheating issue but this happens without fail and leads to the system having to rebuild and repair. Seen a couple of other people on the Reddit with similar issues but interested to know if it's widespread

@get2sammyb Combine that with more people opening Twitter accounts also and it's pretty much a foregone conclusion...

163 games in the backlog - I can wait.

Weird flex...0 ULTRA RARE's though...put your internet sausage back in your trousers.

@GamingFan4Lyf I was wondering my mine kept falling of its unit...

@LiamCroft There's a site called PSN4.com that highlights this perfectly. At one point, you could get brand new releases for 23 quid by setting up an Indonesian account and using a fee-free card. Sony have now blocked that little trick though.

@playstation_king It basically replaces the Season Pass...this time the map DLC etc is free to avoid splitting the player base, the other stuff not.

It's the Activision/Blizzard staple...no game was ever going out the door without some sort of post release monetisation. If anything this is probably the least aggressive form it's taken in a fair few releases.

It is, however, a sorry reflection of games media as a whole (Then again, the budgets are absolutely immense these days). It just seems to be the way it is these days and that's rather sad, I'll admit. It also seems to be the continuation of the worrying trend into these types of sales tactics.

Order the Mega Pack (Old or New) from Amazon France or Spain with a fee free card and save £20 if you really want a deal.

E: Included codes can be redeemed through UK store.

Not photoshopped - same in my US account noticed this morning as was waiting for the US sale to go live at 4pm

E: Doesn't mean anything necessarily but it was 100% showing that so it raises some questions.

@manu0 What a strange place to be commenting - looking through your comment history it's 50 shades of Xbox fanboyism. Not really the place for it be fair - keep your trolling to Reddit, we're all pretty bored of it here.

@get2sammyb "it would be useful to know the title's format, whether PS3 or PS4. not everyone knows which games are available from which platform."

I've just knocked this out in Excel if you want it...INDEX/MATCH FTW. Can add the bullets and split it if needs be so you can copy/paste

Purchased, Downloaded, Not fired up yet due to hearing about the technical issues, framerate drops etc. Only bought as something for me and the Mrs to drill through as couch co-op and this seems to be where a huge amount of the problems lie.

Also, the text issue is a bit off-putting as well as don't want to have to sit 3 inches from my TV just to see my weapon stats. It might be bearable, I don't know, but given how much love I have for the series I don't want to risk it given the myriad of problems and lack of vertical split screen.

There also seems to be some pretty game breaking bugs, locking story progression and also items disappearing upon loading your game.

On the plus side, it reminded me that we still haven't finished Commander Lilith so we've returned to that for a few days to play in normal sized text, side-by-side goodness.

@PS_Nation "Great article and I hope Insomniac will join the Dream Team someday"

Fancy wishing that I win the lottery too?

@AdamNovice It's Plus announcement tomorrow so be lucky to make it until Thursday...

@Futureshark Love a Brass Eye reference...
