@NaughtyBoy is it the PS5 version? If so what visual modes does it support? And like the avatar is it one that has to install online from the desk and won't install in rest mode?
@Axelay71 I was gutted 1313 was cancelled and surprised no-one has pitched starting it all again. It was announced during tail end of PS3/360 generation but heavily implied it was being built for PS4/XB1 if I remember correctly. Looked amazing and the setting and theme just looked ideal. RIP 1313
Is this the new trend with games on PC and console? To do previews on superior PC builds? Same thing was done with Star wars outlaws and the new Warhammer space marine game
If WB execs have an ounce of intelligence they will look at recent success of Hogwarts legacy and past success in the Arkham games and see these games sell and they all lacked live service elements.
Suicide squad sold less and dropped off big time quickly so it's telling that gamers don't want big IP's turned into soulless live service grind fests.
Bet hogwarts legacy follow up is either live service or partially live service though
@Luigia I'm assuming you js have never played the master system versions of sonic 1 and 2? They arent poets they. Are completely different games. Sonic one on master system follows same levels as mega drive versions but each one has different lay outs and all play differently
Sonic 2 doesn't even follow same level structure as the mega drive. These were definitely not ports
Hopefully it'll come to playstation plus at some point. Otherwise I'll leave it I think. Bought it in GameCube and didn't really like it so can't see 22 years changing that
Times have changed. In 2008 they're weren't many indie games in comparison to 2024. So a re-release of an old game is going to have to do something special to stand out.
Personally I never got into it. I don't like the art style and found it a tad dull
As someone not into them it's frustrating seeing so many.
You see a trailer for an interesting game then find it's a souls like, I miss good old fashioned action adventure games like Enslaved, Lords of shadow etc.
In the Xbox 360 Vs PS3 days you couldn't move for seeing ads for Xbox 360 games and the console. it seemed every multiplatform game ended with that iconic 360 logo and sound bite.
They dropped the ball with Xbox one and still advertised that heavily early on, then the tide turned to be all PS4 ads and them getting the logo on multiplatform ads and now you never see Xbox ads.
@CutchuSlow the naming choices at Microsoft went tits up in 2013, how can you name the 3rd Xbox the Xbox one and not expect some confusion from the less informed consumer.
Then the similarity between Xbox one x and series X etc is definitely an issue that's caused real confusion. I consider myself in the know about the console market but once nearly went to buy a 2nd hand Xbox series S in Facebook before realising the seller had mislabeled his Xbox one s

@Brundleflies21 the negatives Euro gamer sited sounded like plus points in my opinion

Re: TimeSplitters 2 (PS2) – Classic FPS Has Tons of Content, But Hasn't Fully Stood the Test of Time
I played it for a bit on Tuesday. Aiming is awful. Just felt off to play.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 543
@Kraven sorry for your loss. Hope all goes well for his send off. I lost my brother suddenly 3 months ago and it still hurts. All the best
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Concord?
It could be a big hit like hell divers 2 and I'd not be interested as it's an online multiplayer game.
I don't think it looks too bad for what it is but what it is just isn't for me
Re: Poll: Are You Playing Black Myth: Wukong?
Very much doubt it's for me. May consider it when it's dirt cheap down the line if got nothing more suited to me to play
Re: 12 Major PS5, PS4 Games Leaving PS Plus, Including Horizon Forbidden West
No logic or reason to remove a Sony IP. It's they're own game so why remove it? It's not a good look
Re: Poll: What PS5 Games Do You Most Want to See at Gamescom 2024?
I don't want to see more of the games launching soon like outlaws, astro bot, pluky squire and epic Mikey.
I want to see something new or games we know are coming but not seen much of yet
Re: Test Your PlayStation General Knowledge - Issue 25
Abysmal showing this week. 4 out of 10
Re: Quantic Dream's Troubled Star Wars Eclipse Just Lost Its Lead Writer
@Axelay71 really underrated game that. Id love a 60fps remaster or full dead space style remake but can't see it happening.
I have a soft spot for lords of shadow as well for another god of war clone (not 2 they messed that up)

Re: Poll: Are You Happy with Your PS Plus Extra, Premium Games for August 2024?
Haven't played timesplitters 2 in over 20 years. Looking forward to giving that a blast. Especially that Goldeneye inspired first mission
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542
@KilloWertz I got it Christmas 2022 I think. I loved it. Pure fun. Like a late PS2 or early PS3 throwback. May revisit it on plus
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 542
@Daleaf it's superb. The story and acting is top notch. Never gets old for me. I actually love part 2 as well but it's not as well paced, bit bloated.

That's superb news. Well happy with that

I loved the order. Feel it was very unfairly treat as it was short and linear

Re: Astro Bot Continues Its Quest for PS5 Game of the Year with Sublime Gameplay Demo
@TheDaddyOtaku I've been doing them. I think I've exhausted play room. I need the new game now lol
Re: Astro Bot Continues Its Quest for PS5 Game of the Year with Sublime Gameplay Demo
They need to release a demo so they can appease my Astro Bot withdrawal symptoms lol
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 539
@Rich33 I really enjoyed it. It felt unique for what essentially is an FPS
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 539
Oxenfree 2 and giving Remnant 2 a try. Hoping I can get into it
Re: Sony's Going to Make Damn Sure You Pay Attention to Astro Bot on PS5
Still my most wanted game
Re: Poll: Are You Sick of Soulslike Games?
As someone not into them it's frustrating seeing so many.
You see a trailer for an interesting game then find it's a souls like, I miss good old fashioned action adventure games like Enslaved, Lords of shadow etc.
Give me games with difficulty options please
Re: Rumour: Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered Leaks Ahead of Imminent Reveal
@Northern_munkey beat me to that almost exact comment. I played but didn't beat it on PS1 but beat it on the super slick Dreamcast version.
Not sure if it came out on the same day or not but I remember buying it on same day as crazy taxi

Re: 'Unpolished' Star Wars Outlaws Gameplay Gets Blasted, But Ubisoft Insists on August Release Date
I'm in desperate need for a game I want to get stuck into and this really appeals to me. I'm likely to get it day one regardless.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 538
Dark pictures: Devil in me. Really enjoying it. The best of the dark pictures anthology for me.
May also get to finally play Oxenfree 2 at some point too
Re: Mini Review: Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn (PS5) - Yeah, It's Pretty Good
May get this when it's about £20

Re: Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters Says It's All About How You Use It with PS5, PS4 Platinum
@AK4tywill it has right stick support? That's at least one positive. Assumed being a PSP game it was 30fps but was hoping I was wrong. Cheers
Re: Ratchet & Clank: Size Matters Says It's All About How You Use It with PS5, PS4 Platinum
Any idea if it's 30fps or 60? Assuming 30
