Great month with tons of amazing games. I'm giving my vote to Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, such an incredible experience and for such a low price (got it for 23 pounds).
My god, Bioware used to be such an amazing studio, just look at their work on Neverwinter Nights and KOTOR. Heck, even the Dragon Age series were pretty awesome but then came EA and turned this studio into a mess. Can we say that it's all EA's fault? Of course not. But they clearly had a hand in it.
I need to see more. I love Far Cry games but the formula has become a little bit stale lately. If it's the same gameplay with a different setting without anything new - I'll wait for a sale.
These are all assumptions at the end of the day. RiME had a troubled development and I can understand if Sony decided to call it quits where they saw little progress being made while their money is being spent. I'm glad it turned out great but you can see why such things happen. Housemarque perhaps like you've already mentioned wanted to keep this game in-house and that's understandable. But yeah, Sony should seriously just buy them.
@get2sammyb Components cost roughly $500, so I highly doubt that Microsoft will sell Scorpio which IS a niche product at a loss of $100 per unit (considering they will price it at $400). I expect it to be $500 to $600, that way, Microsoft can at least break even on each console sold, if not earn something from each sale.
@kyleforrester87 Neverwinter Nights was pure awesomeness. The close they came to achieving this was KOTOR and that's about it. The quality fell pretty much thereafter and after they were acquired by EA.
I think I've spent at least 5 hours in photo mode on my first 70 hour playthrough. Photo Mode is just too addicting for a game as beautiful as Horizon: Zero Dawn, a must buy for any PS4 owner.
If they make it sizable, like in the Witcher 3 DLCs, then they can have my money on day one! I'm sure they're already discussing ideas for a sequel - but if they can spare resources to make a DLC, I hope that by all means they do. Otherwise, just focus on Horizon 2: One Dawn!
I would imagine that the Switch will be a second console for most people. I don't see how it can be a main console for anyone, considering there won't be third party support (yeah, good luck running Mass Effect on that thing) besides indies and smaller titles - so it all comes down to how much you depend on first party Nintendo games.
I see myself getting it when it drops to $200 or so.
@Shadowsoul83 Even better graphics since the 4k is going to downscale to 1080p screens. So we get all that plus the faster loading times, increased distance view and enhanced lighting.

Re: PGW 2017: Shadow of the Colossus Catches a Confirmed PS4 Release Date
Day one, physical!
Re: PGW 2017: Sony Announces Ghost of Tsushima, a Samurai PS4 Exclusive from Sucker Punch
I like the subtle touch of them adding Sucker Punch’s logo towards the end and people losing their minds. Very nicely done Sony!
Re: The Witcher 3 PS4 Pro Patch Provides Resolution Boost, but Hurts Framerate in Places
I thought they at least improved the loading times... but no. Guess we can’t have nice things after all.
Re: Knack 2 Bombed at Apocalyptic Proportions in Japan
@spirit777 same here. Knack 2 is fantastic. Probably one of my favorite games this gen. Still somehow fingers crossed for Knack 3!
Re: Interview: Yakking About Knack 2 with Composer Anthony Willis
One of the best soundtracks in recent years. Not joking.

U2 vibes!!
Re: European PlayStation Store Reloads with Cheap PS4 Games
ESO: Gold Edition and BioShock Collection for me!
Too bad though, since I already spent 50 euros this month on the last summer sale.
Re: Review: Matterfall (PS4)
Still getting it albeit the short campaign.

@Tingle_The_Great fingers crossed!
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 181
Doom and Fallout 4! Working on platinum-ing both.
Re: August 2017's Free PlayStation Plus Games Can Be Downloaded Now
Just Cause 3 is amazing!
Re: PS5 Is Likely Coming in 2019, Believes Analyst
It has to be backward compatible by default and I’m pretty sure it will. Would be a smart move by Sony going forward!
Re: Guide: How to Get All Gems in Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy
@WebHead not the hand holding you’d normally expect in today’s games.
I personally love that is maintains the challenge of the originals.
Re: Sony Awarded PlayStation Employees the Coolest Crash Bandicoot Gift
@Mosquito8991 Same here, really wish for some sort of CE.
Re: E3 2017: Sony's Listening to Your Requests for PS4 Remakes
Syphon Filter needs a reboot/remake.

Damnnnn, this looks amazing!! Gotta find a print!
Re: Surprise! Mass Effect: Andromeda's Development Was a Mess, Says Report

Re: Far Cry 5 Locks and Loads with Full Reveal Trailer, Release Date, and Gameplay Details
I need to see more. I love Far Cry games but the formula has become a little bit stale lately. If it's the same gameplay with a different setting without anything new - I'll wait for a sale.
Re: Soapbox: Why Did Sony Ditch Two of the Best Games of the Year?

Re: PS4's Days Gone Will Be at E3 2017 in a Big Way
Based on the trailers it is a mix of the Last of Us and GTA style gameplay. Sign me up!!
Re: Talking Point: What Free June 2017 PlayStation Plus Games Do You Want?
Perhaps Knack this time??
Re: UK Retailer GAME's New Elite Scheme Sucks
Honestly, sounds like GameStop. Total ripoff both on pre-orders and used games.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 168
Assassin's Creed: Unity mostly. A bit of Killzone: Mercenary on the Vita.
Re: God of War PS4 Is a 2018 Release, According to Kratos Voice Actor
2018 I knew it. 2017 was highly unlikely.
Re: Nex Machina Looks Like Another Housemarque Classic
Day one!!!
Re: Paladins, That Team Shooter That Isn't Overwatch, Is Now on PS4
Played both. Feels like poor man's Overwatch.
Re: Guide: May 2017 PS4 Games Release Dates
Injustice 2 for me
Re: Days Gone Dev Sony Bend Moving to New Digs After Rapid Expansion
Kudos to Sony Bend. Great studio with great titles.
Re: Cities: Skylines Will Build Foundations on PS4 Soon It Seems
Will be grabbing this on PS4 then. Wondering if it's going to include the expansions as well...
Re: Feature: The 20 Best RPGs on PS4
Tough call between The Witcher 3 and Horizon: Zero Dawn! Gotta go with The Witcher 3, probably my favorite RPG of all time.
Re: Gran Turismo Sport PS4 Beta Codes Start Doing the Rounds in Europe
What, only a few hours per day? Pfttt...
Re: Reaction: Will Sony Be Scared of the Xbox Scorpio?
@get2sammyb Components cost roughly $500, so I highly doubt that Microsoft will sell Scorpio which IS a niche product at a loss of $100 per unit (considering they will price it at $400).

Re: No, Mass Effect: Andromeda's Questionable Animations Aren't Being Patched

Re: Push Share: Photographing the Post-Apocalypse in Horizon: Zero Dawn
I think I've spent at least 5 hours in photo mode on my first 70 hour playthrough. Photo Mode is just too addicting for a game as beautiful as Horizon: Zero Dawn, a must buy for any PS4 owner.
Re: Review: Disc Jam (PS4)
I actually liked it, but I have to agree with the review, some balancing issues are keeping this game from becoming truly great.
Re: Diablo-Like Action RPG Victor Vran Overkills PS4 Soon
Meh, will stick to Diablo 3 and Alienation.
Re: Wonderfully Animated Castlevania-Like Momodora Releases Next Week on PS4
This would be perfect on the Vita! :/
Re: Ex-PS4 Exclusive RiME Finally Releases 26th May
Will wait for a sale, $30 seems a bit too much. Not sure if there is enough content to justify such a price.
Re: Resogun Maker's Eugene Jarvis Mash-Up Nex Machina Drops 23rd May
Day one!
Re: Soapbox: Why We Need Horizon: Zero Dawn DLC
If they make it sizable, like in the Witcher 3 DLCs, then they can have my money on day one! I'm sure they're already discussing ideas for a sequel - but if they can spare resources to make a DLC, I hope that by all means they do. Otherwise, just focus on Horizon 2: One Dawn!
Re: Poll: Will Your PS4 Gather Dust Now the Nintendo Switch Is Out?
I would imagine that the Switch will be a second console for most people. I don't see how it can be a main console for anyone, considering there won't be third party support (yeah, good luck running Mass Effect on that thing) besides indies and smaller titles - so it all comes down to how much you depend on first party Nintendo games.
I see myself getting it when it drops to $200 or so.
Re: Talking Point: Are You Enjoying Horizon: Zero Dawn on PS4?
My GOTY! Zelda be damned.
Re: Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy Probably Isn't a PS4 Exclusive
@dkxcalibur Sony mentioned that FF7 remake is coming first to PS4, so everyone knows that it is a timed exclusive.
Re: NieR: Automata's Pre-Order Trailer Is Probably the Best We've Ever Seen
Lmao! I'm completely sold now.
Re: Crash Bandicoot PS4 Release Date Teased for Tomorrow
@get2sammyb if Sony are smart they'll outright should buy the exclusivity rights for Crash on PS4. Not just a one year deal but full on exclusivity.
Re: Fallout 4 PS4 Patch 1.14 Out Now, Features Pro Support
@Shadowsoul83 Even better graphics since the 4k is going to downscale to 1080p screens. So we get all that plus the faster loading times, increased distance view and enhanced lighting.
