@twitchtvpat I just wish Sony was more up front about this. A couple of months back on one of their montage trailers. GT7 was listed as a PS5 exclusive. It's a bit dishonest. Same with God of War. Why not say at the time it was cross gen. Instead of being intentionally ambiguous. They announced Horizon as Cross gen almost straight away.

I get they need to hit the PS4 install base. But at the same time. They should not come out with stuff like "We believe in generations" when 3 of their most anticipated games are going to be cross gen. There's also the arguement to be made how much will the PS4 hold back these games and what compromises had to be made for them run on a PS4.

Extremely disappointing stance by Sony to have God of War and GT7 as cross gen. Horizon I can just about understand. "We believe in generations"
That's looking dodgy now.

Really looking forward to this. Probably won't get around to it until next month. Mass Effect has my full attention on Friday.

I can't explain how much I want and need this.

That's a pity. Was really looking forward to this. It's not often I get to play a game with Ireland as the setting.

@Sladey69 Strange though that it only happens when a disc is in the drive.

@Zombiesfeelpain Is it just me or has your drive got noticeably louder recently. Like a little whine when it kicks in?. I only notice it when there is a disc in the drive. If I'm playing a digital game. It's silent.

@LegacyRXT Hey if that's how you feel. I very rarely pay full price for any game these days as I have such a backlog and other commitments. In the last 2 years alone. I think I bought 3 games at Full price. So that seems pretty good to me.

What's wrong with buying games? Gamepass is great and all. And I can see value in having it. But I like to collect games. that's how I've always done it and how I more than likely always will. Even if Sony come out with a similar service. I can still see myself buying the majority of games I want to play.

Excellent article. And I agree. This generation has just started. And it's probably fair to see Xbox has been running rings around Sony PR wise the last few months. Gamepass is fantastic value if your are into it. I prefer to buy and own my games. But whatever floats your boat. Also Xbox's commitment to backward compatibility has to be lauded. It's great to see them doing it.

We all know Sony excells at developing games. I mean in the last year alone we have had GOT and LoU2. Two phenomenal games. Just goes to show how all this negativety has manifested itself against PlayStation after coming out with 2 amazing games. Sony could really use public figure to communicate with fans much better. I think they got this aspect down. We wouldn't be seeing half as much negativety.

@playstation1995 Nice. Mine has finished downloading. Once 4PM cames and I can clock off. I'm gettijg straight into it 🥳

Pretty terrible by Sony. Their communication for the last few years has been awful now. I get the feeling they are getting a bit too big for their boots again. Compared to how Xbox have been going about stuff lately. It's night and day really. It's also making it hard to not make envious glances over to the other side.

Going to pick up Ghost of Tsushima Finally. Been waiting to play this for ages.

Absolutely adore this series. Over the last couple of weeks I went back and replayed RE2 and 3 remakes for the platinums. Even after all that I still have an itch to play those games. They may be short, but they are ridiculously fun to play.

Great article. I enjoyed reading how it shaped other people and seeing the love this series still has. It could have been a different story if they kept on down the path of RE6. But I'm extremely happy the series has returned to form with the last few entries.

I'm very excited for this DLC. It's exciting as an Irish person to finally see Ireland as a location within a major game.

I'm 3 trophies away from platinum. I must go finish them soon.

@Max_the_German To be fair. A lot of Irish and UK sites usually use this template. Ireland the UK are usually bracketed together.

Not great tbh. But then again I wasn't expecting it to be. Think I. Will just wait for the PS5 version.

Console looks great. It's really after growing on me.

For me. The news is a bit of a hammer blow. I absolutely love Elder Scrolls and Fallout. However, I'm always going to be PlayStation when it comes to consoles.

I think I'm probably going to invest in a decent PC going forward. Particularly with Gamepass. It makes PC an interesting proposition going forward. Especially with the Bethesda acquisition.

I think it has been addressed but I'm not 100% clear. Can we use an external drive to store PS5 games we aren't playing?

Then when we want to play them, move them over to the Faster SSD?

When I first saw it I really wasn’t sure about the design. But it’s really after growing on me. It’s just so different to anything else.

If this is the only feature of the PS5 I’d be happy.

@Grindagger You might not agree with his politics. However the guy is usually spot on. Can’t fault him on that.

@playstation1995 Yeah. Was a Twitter conversation and somebody he replied to somebody in the tread with random spoilers. Sucks

It’s sad to see. I got the game spoiled on me by some dude on twitter in a conversation about boxing, so be careful anybody who hasn’t been spoiled yet.

Saying that. I’m still going to buy it. I want to form my own opinion. I don’t want to feed into the hysteria surrounding the game. I’m sure experiencing it will be much better than seeing how the story unfolds in bullet points on Twitter.

@Grimwood Ever since the hardware deep dive of the PS5. People have been losing their minds over the PS5 been a bit weaker. That doesn’t particularly bother me. It’s just annoying to see it brought up and people moaning about it.

Also the Last of Us leaks. There has been a huge amount of negativity around those as well. But to be fair, I’ve seen most of the moaning on Twitter. Which is just an echo chamber for misery mostly.

But yeah, maybe not everybody is seeing the same negativity as me around some of these topics. Hopefully when the games are shown off I can enjoy them.

Anybody else just not feeling next Gen?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m excited to see what Sony are planning especially on the games front. But the hardware doesn’t excite me.

I think it’s probably the general negativity around games at the moment that’s dragging me down a bit. Hopefully it will pass.

Kinda dislike it and like it at the same time. The two tone is off putting.

I’m getting pretty excited for next gen. I think the well has run dry for me this gen. Isn’t much coming out I’m overly interested in.

I was in a similar situation. I had 1 trophy left to collect in the Last of Us online. Complete the multiplayer campaign as a hunter. Unfortunately I never got around to it as I do not have a PS3 anymore. I wish I had the time to go back and get it.

@get2sammyb Wish I could Sammy. I’m Irish. I don’t have it in me haha.

Nice. Can’t wait to see Tunisia beat England in 4K.

@ShogunRok Nice. I love watching E3 on this website. It’s always one of the highlights of E3 for me.

Any Chance you guys are showing the MS conference today?

@get2sammyb That was the greatest thing I have ever read on the internet tbh.

@Neolit I like the PSVR don't get me wrong. It's just something I couldn't see myself using very often. I do a lot of travelling and the Switch just suits my needs better.

Very tempting for the VR. However, I think I will be going with the Switch.

@FullbringIchigo I tried everything including safe mode. The PS4 gives out 3 beeps and nothing else.

No good to me after 5.0 bricked my PS4.

Wonder will there be three seperate platinum trophies or just one. Could be a monster if it has only one trophy list.

The only main line Resident I never finished. I remember it being particularly hard. Probably because I was about 7 or 8 when it first came out.

I just bought a new PS4 pro on monday. Haven't had much time with it yet due to college. However I love how much less noisy it is compared to my original PS4.

Tempting. However, I much prefer physical over digital for console games for some strange reason. I prefer digital on PC.

Looks great I think.

To be honest I don't think it honestly matters anymore. Ultimately games will be the deciding factor. Sure, Scorpio is stronger, but the Xbone has a seriously boring games lineup in my opinion. The PS4 clearly has the adavantage in the games area. And that is how it will stay.

Worth a shot. I live in Ireland so I may have to use a parcel motel to get the offer. Gonna investigate it more.

@get2sammyb I have't had much of a chance to game the last few months due to work and college. I have missed out on some great games over the last few months. A shiny new PS4 might light the fire for me to jump back in.

@Renandstimpeygti Thanks for the tips. Fantastic deal if true.

Still haven't invested in a pro as I have a PC. However I much prefer playing on my PS4. Seriously tempted to buy a pro soon. My current PS4 is running like a jet engine so it may be time to upgrade.

God. I was really looking forward to this. If I get this it will be for PC. Bad animations and choppy performance. It's not looking good for this on launch day is it?

Lol my 2 ps4 controllers both decided to break on me. So I shall have to wait for a while before I can get the download.
