In response to people who say if you can afford a £500 console then you can afford a £700 console. Maybe it hadn't crossed your mind that people realise what value is and when a company is taking the p***
If you think a minimal upgrade over the base model with the disc drive taken away and charging £200 more offers great value then knock your socks off
Imo it's over priced for what it offers. The base price should have dropped and pro could have had slight increase over the base and included a disc drive
Well at least we know the price region now for when the PS6 does arrive. I think the PS5 will be my last console now as the pricing is getting out of a control. PlayStation are going the same route as Microsoft and heading for all digital and wouldn't be surprised if there is no option for discs on PS6
@Mikey856 Haha no mate, I've never welded in my life. I do light aircraft ducting for Boeing and others which we make up using a mesh material and liquid plastic from plaster moulds. Its very boring but easy, the money isn't great. I was just curious how long it would take to learn welding after your comment about the money you can earn but when you have a family to support it's difficult to re skill
@Mikey856 How long would it take a complete novice to get to a reasonable level at welding? It's difficult when you have a family to support. I'm just doing bog standard production work for aircrafts and the money is crap
It's all about control these days with log ins. If you were to end up getting banned then you can say good bye to accessing all your purchased games. "Now do as you're told and fall into line"
@ChrisDeku Maybe Sony don't want to be linked with modern day slavery. 10-20hr unpaid work a week pfff. No wonder the world is the way it is with companies taking advantage of these people.
Ah could we be going back to the good old days with zero saves and just 3 continues. The console that runs on vodka coolant and that doesn't break but breaks the player instead.
Fastest selling game is different to how many units sold. I'm sure digital only has harmed it's full potential. This could mean it's sold 1000 units in a new record time. It proves nothing but when everything goes all digital will be the day I hang up my the current gen joypad and go back to retro
@TechGuyChris what's efficient about using a PS5 for Netflix or Hulu other than ease. It's not efficient energy wise when you can use the TV app or streaming box without the humming of the PS in the background. I never watch anything on the PS5 personally and predominantly use it for gaming as well
As far as this year's NBA2K goes is the gameplay and graphics any better than last year's? I mainly play single player exhibitions matches using teams from 90s
I enjoyed the Mario movie but this new Turtles films art style just doesn't do it for me. Don wearing glasses and April's looks to be reaching out for inclusivity which just boils my p**"
I didn't really like the Michael bay turtles films either.
They should have just rebooted the 90s turtles films
Someone on YouTube made the MGS1 intro using UE5 and it's s#&t hot. Now if only Konami weren't so lazy and actually rebuilt the game using that engine it would sell well
Other than clubs ( The mode I always played ) and the licences I think efootballs actual gameplay is better than FIFA this year. I have played a lot of FIFA and the gameplay is stale, the players still look cartoon like, players still walk out like they have arthritis in knees. Efootball isn't without faults but I'm enjoying just the odd kick off game
@Kidfunkadelic83 I put it down to games being more realistic haha. I got to the point where you first see the Alien and it kills the guy who's helping you. Then you after wait for the train to arrive, the alarm is going off, the music changes and becomes more intense and I was panicking for the doors to open up. I got the game when it first launched but after that experience I put the game back on the shelf until I decided to play it again 3 months ago haha
@Kidfunkadelic83 no I never felt it dragged. Some parts were quite tricky when you come across the droids but you soon work it out. Its a fantastic game, the music, alarms, lighting effects, hearing the Alien in the vents knowing it could drop into the room with you at any moment all adds to the atmosphere. I put it off at the start because I couldn't cope with it. I'm not sure why because I was so use to playing Resident Evil series during ps1 days.
Plus it has quite a few DLC challenges and one that involves the cast of the first Alien film
Having recently completed Alien Isolation after gearing up my nerves I will say the game looks fantastic on PS5 even for a PS4 title. You're missing out by putting it off over a few enhancements which imo wouldn't add much. I would have loved a sequel
As a rule I will only spend up to £40 max on a new game, I do wonder what sales figures are like with these crazy prices that they're charging. It must be hurting game sales and that's maybe why they're pushing a subscription model instead
I already have the remastered version but not got around to playing it yet. I did wonder how much the PS5 version would be, I after say after seeing the price of it I did raise an eye brow and said something along the lines of WTF!
@Postie85 loving the profile picture, one of the best Wrestling games I ever played on N64, so many funny moments playing it with friends
How difficult is it to create Green Hill island that is thriving with all the creatures that have graced the franchise. You can run across the ocean to other islands or Tails can fly in or something. This island just looks depressing and Halo like with its monuments
OMFG, what was that??? This game looks lifeless inc Sonic himself. If you compare sonic to the movies he doesn't shut up. You don't hear a peep from this sonic even riding them huge silly floating rails. This is diabolical.
I have no problem with the game being open world but it needs doing right and from what I've seen so far it's clear Sonic Team are just not up to it

Re: RoboCop: Rogue City Is Much More of an RPG Than You Might Think
