My sharona that’s good news! Loved knack 2 even though I got that game breaking bug which mean I had to replay the whole game which I don’t think they ever fixed.
I'm yet to play Hat in Time Yet which looks like a great 3D platformer - in fact there always seems to be loads of these on the PS Store Sales - Snake Pass is currently less than £4 which is another I'm yet to play. Any thoughts on any of these that now they are cheap are worthy of picking up?
I never buy games on release - two reasons - firstly they usually are buggy and need a few patches. Then after a month the price usually drops - wait 3-6 months and the price drops again sometimes up to 50% - watch dogs legion has only been out a little over a month and its under £40. My advice is to buy a ps5 in 6 months time, then by the time you've caught up games will be cheaper.
The other way would be to buy at full price on release, complete the game and then sell on through ebay or music magpie and you'll get at least half the value back.
Third way - sign up to boomerang rentals and pay a fraction of the cost. I pay £3,99 a month to get games 6 months old and find it the most cost effective way to play.
this hopefully will be good. I'm probably the only one that really liked Blood Stone when it came out - thought the story was good and the driving parts especially fun.
there has to be issues - hopefully it will be released on next gen so no compromises. Dying Light was my favourite game this gen and cant wait for more 1st person parkour in the sequel.
I played through spiderman twice and all the DLC and got the platinum so have no desire to play again. I expect they'll want to do something similar with TLOU2 and GOT bolting on something extra and hence why i haven't bought any new game this year.
@TheAdza I agree I think Sony will combine PS+ and PSNOW which would give all Ps5 users access to the majority of the p4 back catalogue, certainly the PS exclusives as a way to get PC and Xbox customers to snap up a Playstation. This combined with great exclusives will be how Sony win.
To me this sounds and looks like a LOTR themed, Styx Master of Shadows which is a AA game I enjoyed - the sequel was better too. If its as good or better then those, I will probably buy it.
@ralphdibny Yep I'd like to see more Cutter - I think he was underused in UC3. ND make very polished good games but just not enough of them. I would hope they had two teams - thought the Lost Legacy was an excellent release
I want dinosaurs or if not South America or Australia would be good. And please no silent protagonist - I want an actual character who talks - oh and bring back Vaas
would consider this as im finding the heal button for days gone really difficult to use when running away from zombies - i see this is US only? Any love for UK owners?
great review - especially love this line "Anyone born after Spandau Ballet broke up will be missing out, not just in regards to recognising the references in Huntdown, but also in life."
This reminds me of Styx and its sequel which i both enjoyed - the characters look terrible though - i presume they couldn't afford to Andy Serkis to do the mo cap??????
@get2sammyb i hope so as I love 3D platformers, but the quality of ones I've seen in Dreams look as good as this. I think the question I want to see discussed is will Dreams kill Indie development on PS4?
I have to double check these arent the latest "Built in Dreams" games - looking at the quality of some of those 3D platformers I wonder if games like this can make any money?
just announce it for god sake - if this is ps4 game will it be announced and launched close together? If its a ps5 game it must have been in development for a long while. Also any more news on the Harry Potter game leak?
Love all the games and still play through them all once a year at least. Its worth getting the PS4 version as they run at 60fps and the gunplay is a lot better than the originals due to this and more consistent aiming. I would love to be discovering these first 3 for the first time - Uncharted i got when i got my PS3 and was blown away at the time. I certainly want more uncharted for my ps5 and thought the lost legacy was one of the strongest in the series so give me my Cutter game!
Holiday 2020 is going to expensive - new 4k (if not 8k) tv plus PS5 and games! Might need to sell the house and live in a caravan with my new shiny tech
Sooner or later developers and/or Sony will need to state what is happening with cross platform games. Will there be a PS4 game and a PS5 game or will you buy one and then be able to download a patch (for free or low cost) to get the advantages of the new hardware? If this isnt addressed I can see a drop in sales for any of these big games next year as many people will wait for the superior PS5 version.
i loved trine 3 although it was short but it was an easy platinum and i think I got it for about a fiver in the sale. Too many smaller games i want to play but know the price will go down - waiting until Hat in Time, Dead Cells, Unruly Heroes are all under £8.
This would sell like Hot Cakes on PS4 - its a great game and DLC also great fun. Its like Ratchet and Clank on steroids and its the type of game that Playstation owners would go for. I bought a xbox just for this and Ori and would double dip on PS4.
i dont remember it being like this for ps3 but its starting to feel like everyone is already geared to ps5. I think sony and games publishers if they want to sell their games next year have to tell us there will be a free ps5 patch for these games (if they do indeed come to ps4) otherwise sales will drop in anticipation for the definative ps5 version - im looking at GOT, TLOU2 as well as third party like Cyberpunk, Dying Light and Avengers.
Why do the likes of EA, Ubisoft and others get all the grief for microtransactions when Rockstar are the worse and have been raking it in for years. I admit i bought GTA V on PS3 and then again on PS4 because i hoped there to be some single player DLC - surely Rockstar owe us this? Obviosuly everyone who buys a PS4/XBox buys a copy of GTA V!
I think Sony have got it right with ps4 BC and in my opinion ps1,2, and 3 isnt required especially if they play but not with any enhancements - do you know how bad a ps1 game would look on a 65 inch 4k tv? What i do want with PS4 BC though is improvements so its in line with a decent pc - AC Origins/Odyssey, GTA V, Just Cause all in 4k and 60 FPS would make those games relevant and i expect people would buy them again if they didnt have them.

Re: These Decent PS5, PS4 Games Can Be Purchased for Pennies on Cyber Monday
I think both the Styx games at that price are absolute steals. Loved both of them proper stealth classics with some great level design.

Re: The Lord of the Rings: Gollum PS5 Trailer Looks Better Than Screenshots

Re: BioMutant Still Looks Pretty Bloody Good, But No Release Date
@rjejr good idea! And what happened to Wild? That game by the BG&E guy?
Re: BioMutant Still Looks Pretty Bloody Good, But No Release Date
Looks great and better than before but surely if not out this year it will need to be a PS5 title?

Re: Soapbox: Why You Must Play Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection While It's Free on PS Plus
