Cautiously optimistic about this one. Codemasters has earned my trust over the years with the Dirt series but we all know EA has a way of mucking things up. With the Crew Motorfest and Forza coming in the next months going to be hard for them to get some traction but I hope its a great experience. And as others said VR is a much needed feature!
This game is really outside of my wheel house but I'm loving it. Definitely benefited from having a demo. Hopefully can make some decent progress in it over the next few weeks
@ThaBEN in response to your edit, a 2nd monitor/desk setup wouldn't work. The room is oddly shaped and doing so would require an overhaul and rearranging, and be much more expensive than a couple hundred bucks lol
@REALAIS Have 2 teenagers. In our gaming room we have a 65" TV and a monitor, 2 PS5s and a Series S. When we all want to play something like Destiny, Borderlands, Fall Guys etc together we need a third screen. We get by using laptop, tablet, or one of our phones at the moment but this would be another solution. I know thats a seemingly niche situation that most folks wouldn't have
Much cheaper than I was expecting from Sony. As someone who uses remote play pretty regularly at home it's at a price point that I'll be willing to give it a shot. The lack of bluetooth is a shame though
It was fine I guess, nothing at all really exciting that warranted an event IMO. Good to get some release dates but seemed like they had a show just to have a show. I think Geoff is spreading himself too thin by trying to have 3 of these every year
@Dusk_Actual appreciate the response, I obviously can only comment on my experience which is perhaps very unique in the overall player base.
We still play Gambit occasionally and it's still a great time for us even without huge changes or additions. As far as the eververse goes, it's all cosmetic stuff. I honestly don't have any interest at all in cosmetics so that's something that I'm admittedly completely aloof of and it doesn't bother me in the slightest that it's there. In terms of the cost of the game/expansions that's really not a issue for us (not because we're rich lol) . Lightfall was $50 and I bought on both PS & Xbox, we have gotten more than 100 hours out of that $100 expenditure so for us its not really a pain point in terms of what we've gotten out of it vs $50+ for a 2ish hour movie for example.
I tend to block out a lot of the moaning about games recently because it becomes so overwhelmingly negative so perhaps I was wrong, my wording could've been better for sure. Hope you enjoy Witch Queen and whatever comes next!
Game is still awesome, my kids and I play a few times every week and we have fun. Problem is seems some peoples whole existence is tied into what happens in the game, specifically pvp, and they are the loudest ones. Look forward to seeing how they wrap things up
Hopes/expectations: Tekken 8 release date, PS5 "slim" info, 4 or 5 souls-like games, new Spiderman trailer, nothing to shocking or surprising. Hard to get too excited about these anymore since there are so many throughout the year but I will most likely watch it in the background while working.
Wasn't blown away by the last beta but this is a definite purchase. Spent a few hundred hours with each of the first games so I'm sure i'll get some enjoyment from this one. Look forward to diving in on Friday!
I remember renting this from Blockbuster as a kid but never getting the chance to finish it but always wanted to play again. Looking forward to bringing back some nostalgia
@Excess Gambling/Casinos stuff like that from what I recall.
@Acurisur NFS underground 1/2 would probably be a better game to have that crown.
Looks OK, nothing screams must play and they definitely could've picked some better drivers for the first gameplay reveal. Hopefully things come together by release
Will happily trade in my disc version for this new one if true. Wish I would've gotten 2 digital ones at the beginning and save 100 bucks but water under the bridge now. And though the design has grown on me slightly, hopefully they go with something boring this time around
Looks a bit janky but I'm willing to give it a shot. Wish we could get a modern release of Blitz 2000 but that's seemingly impossible at this point, hopefully this can scratch that itch a little
It's never really going to take off and will always be niche. I'm OK with the purchase but it's been months since we've touched it. At least the box makes it was to store!
Not even close for me. SM2 is a day one, Metal gear stuff is cool but expected, everything else was a wait for it come to Plus/GamePass. Not a good look at all overall though imo.

Re: EA Sports' Anticipated WRC Game Will Take a Long, Easy Left to PS5 Soon
@KillerBoy Dirt 5 had up to 4 player split screen and they made a big deal out of it so there's a good chance it will!

Re: PS Plus Essential, Extra, Premium Price Increases Announced by Sony
Pretty stout increase. Still worth it imo but the backlash is going to be deafening for sure.

Re: No Man's Sky Teases Next Major Update, Echoes, in 7-Year Anniversary Video
One of the greatest comeback stories in a long time. Happy this one turned things around even though its not necessarily my jam.
Re: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Gameplay Will Blast Its Way into Gamescom Opening Night Live
Still got a sealed copy in a closet somewhere. Hopefully I'll get around to this eventually. All the improvements sound impressive

Re: Explore Hong Kong in Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown's First Gameplay, Beta Coming Soon
@Excess Gambling/Casinos stuff like that from what I recall.
@Acurisur NFS underground 1/2 would probably be a better game to have that crown.
Looks OK, nothing screams must play and they definitely could've picked some better drivers for the first gameplay reveal. Hopefully things come together by release

Re: Exciting Game Announcements and Reveals Planned for Bandai Namco's Summer Showcase
Tekken 8 release date and something, anything, Ridge Racer related hopefully!
Re: Preview: It's Virtually Impossible for Armored Core 6 to Fail
Loved these back in the Ps1/2 days so I'm looking forward to this. Releasing at a rough time but definitely a holiday sale pickup!
Re: Poll: Was Capcom Showcase 2023 All Killer, or Mostly Filler?
Not even worth a grade, just a waste of time

Re: Poll: Was Summer Game Fest 2023 a Sizzler or a Wash Out?
Good show. Not really much for me personally though.

Deep Down, I think we all know this isn't coming out ever.
Re: Awesome-Looking LEGO Pac-Man Arcade Cabinet Will Gobble Up All Your Money

Re: PlayStation Showcase Finally Announced for 24th May
Awesome, perfect time of the day! Can't wait!
Re: Suicide Squad PS5 Game Delay Now Official, Out in February 2024
