Too many games. I swear to God, The Phantom Pain won't budge. I've 40 hours and I'm not even started the Africa missions yet. Then the FIFA/Pes combination. Uncharted collection. Then Fallout 4 and a week later Star Wars is out. I still haven't even touched Batman on my shelf.
I don't know if I will pick this up at launch. There will surely be server issues and such. It only releases a week or so after Fallout to. I might put it off til Xmas.
It's why I love playstation. The sheer variety of games is amazing. I'm not some blind fanboy though, I can see Microsft and even Nintendo have nice exclusives. However Microsoft doesn't appeal to me with their exclusives. Same with Nintendo.
@Gamer83 If this came out in maybe September of next year I could see it doing decent as the summer Is over and the gaming season is beginning. It will also miss the annual big hitters. FIFA, COD Etc.
Ninja Theory as a dev are very much a unique study. I enjoyed Heavenly Sword and their take on DMC. However I feel they do split opinion among gamers. Hopefully this game turns out to be worth playing.
@Hego I've been with them 7 years and apparently they needed to verify my account which has taken almost two and a half weeks now. Disgraceful. Moving to AIB in the very near future lol.
@Tasuki I'd say even later than the PS1 era. Most people from that era would be in their twenties at this point. I'd say PS2 and possibly early PS3 era where people are still young enough not to remember them old classics you mentioned.
People often criticise Telltale games and often disregard them by claiming they are not games. I will admit they are light on gameplay. However they generally tell a fantastic and intriguing story. As a player I fully support Story over Gameplay. I love to get lost in a games story and lore. Metal Gear Solid 4 is often chastised due to the large number of cutscenes. However that's one of my favourite games of all time.
It's time for devs to let go of last gen and focus on the new consoles. The PS4 has a good 5 years left in its tank. We need to see more quality games focused for this system.
@Punished_Boss_84 While I agree it's getting out of hand and the sooner the game releases the better. I just feel Konami could have shown Kojima more respect and both part ways on good terms. It's just a shame what road Konami have decided to take.
@Punished_Boss_84 I think you're missing the point. It's not about his name being removed. It's the lack of respect shown by Konami to one of the greats in the industry. After all Kojima did for Konami and Metal Gear Solid it seems harsh to do this on what is likely to be his swansong for this great series of games.
It really is a Kojima game. Without the man this game series wouldn't be as loved as it is. He really puts forward his personality into the games which is what make them so unique.

Re: First Impressions: How Well Does Assassin's Creed Syndicate Run on PS4?
I'm done with this series and anything Ubisoft make for that matter. Such boring games. Every world feels dead an empty.
Re: First Impressions: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Is PS4 Gold

Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition Game of the Year Edition Still Needs You to Download All DLC
It's a good deal I suppose as the DLC is priced ridiculously. However it all should have been on disc. This is just lazy.
Re: Star Wars Battlefront Beta Blows PS4 to Bits from 8th October
I don't know if I will pick this up at launch. There will surely be server issues and such. It only releases a week or so after Fallout to. I might put it off til Xmas.
Re: Batman and The Last of Us Head Big PS4 Deals in EU PSN Sale
I want to buy Sleeping Dogs but it screams Playstation plus material at me.
Re: Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls to Get PS4 Release Dates Soon
I'd like to play Beyond two Souls as I missed it the first time. Heavy Rain is a welcome bonus to.
Re: TGS 2015: PS4's Horizon: Zero Dawn Dazzles in Stage Demo
@get2sammyb Yeah, it's Guerilla's main weakness. I'm hopeful though. The game is very unique.
Re: TGS 2015: Nioh Is Shuhei Yoshida's Most Anticipated PS4 Game
@viciousarcanum What I would give for an Onimusha sequel or a remaster. However this game looks like an adequate replacement.
Re: TGS 2015: Good Grief! Sony Has More PS4 Exclusives to Show
It's why I love playstation. The sheer variety of games is amazing. I'm not some blind fanboy though, I can see Microsft and even Nintendo have nice exclusives. However Microsoft doesn't appeal to me with their exclusives. Same with Nintendo.
Re: TGS 2015: PS4's Horizon: Zero Dawn Dazzles in Stage Demo
Looks fantastic. Always knew Guerilla Games had excellent pedigree but I felt they were held back by Killzone.
Re: Plunder PS4 Exclusive Uncharted 4: A Thief's End's Beta This December
Can't wait for this.
Re: The Last of Us 2 Is Naughty Dog's Worst Kept Secret
My favourite game of all time. I don't think they can improve on it to be honest. The first game was perfect in my opinion.
Re: TGS 2015: Persona 5 Delayed to Summer 2016 on PS4, PS3
@Faruko It was said to be coming to the US at the end of this year. So I'm optimistic. Hopefully my optimism isn't misplaced.
Re: TGS 2015: Persona 5's PS4, PS3 Gameplay Trailer Is Downright Incredible
@NaughtyOttsel22 I'm used to it. Europe always gets shafted.
Re: TGS 2015: Persona 5's PS4, PS3 Gameplay Trailer Is Downright Incredible
@NaughtyOttsel22 Can always import a copy. It's what I'm going to do.
Re: TGS 2015: Persona 5 Delayed to Summer 2016 on PS4, PS3
2016 is going to be another amazing year at least.
Re: TGS 2015: PS4 Price Drop Announced for Japan
Wow £189 pounds that's so cheap. It's still upwards of 400 Euro over here. I'm expecting a price drop at the Paris conference.
Re: TGS 2015: PS4 Exclusive Nioh Slashes with Samurai and Spirits 10 Years Later
Anybody getting Onimusha vibes?. I'd do anything for an Onimusha sequel or remaster.
Re: TGS 2015: Gravity Rush 2 Turns PS4 Upside Down
@Jazzer94 True. It's a unique type of game.
Re: TGS 2015: Gravity Rush 2 Turns PS4 Upside Down
@Gamer83 If this came out in maybe September of next year I could see it doing decent as the summer Is over and the gaming season is beginning. It will also miss the annual big hitters. FIFA, COD Etc.
Re: TGS 2015: Gravity Rush 2 Turns PS4 Upside Down
@Jazzer94 A bit of marketing from Sony could do it wonders. It seems like a word of mouth kind of game though.
Re: TGS 2015: Gravity Rush Remastered Takes Aim at PS4
Can't wait for this. Such a good game and a sequel. Happy days.
Re: Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection Gets a Free PS4 Demo This Month
The animations are definitely showing their age now. Still can't wait to get my hands on it though.
Re: Feature: What PS4, PS3, and Vita Reveals Should You Expect During Sony's Pre-TGS Presser?
@get2sammyb What time is the conference Sammy, for UK/Ireland. I'd love to see Persona, Gravity Rush port and PS2 emulation.
Re: Could the PS4 Be About to Score PS2 Games?
I'd love if they put the Onimusha series up there. Great games.
Re: Don't Expect to Be Playing Ninja Theory's Hellblade For a While Yet
Ninja Theory as a dev are very much a unique study. I enjoyed Heavenly Sword and their take on DMC. However I feel they do split opinion among gamers. Hopefully this game turns out to be worth playing.
Re: Bethesda Promises Free Content Updates and Confirms a Season Pass for Fallout 4
I don't even care I'll buy anything Fallout related.
Re: Europe Gets a Load of PlayStation Store Discounts, Including The Witcher 3
Awful. Nothing sticks out.
Re: Massive 20th Anniversary PlayStation Store Sale Hits North America
Hopefully something similar will be available in Europe
Re: When's the Inevitable PS4 Slim Coming Out, Sony?
@blah01 A better fan would sell me instantly. Mine sounds like a jet at times.
Re: When's the Inevitable PS4 Slim Coming Out, Sony?
It will be the only time I upgrade my ps4, bar my own console breaking down. I won't imagine we will be seeing it til late 2016 or early 2017.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 83
@Hego I've been with them 7 years and apparently they needed to verify my account which has taken almost two and a half weeks now. Disgraceful. Moving to AIB in the very near future lol.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 83
Nothing this weekend. I'm going through a barren spell due to lack of funds at the moment. Damn you bank of Ireland.
Re: Sony Digs Up Buried Treasure with Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection PS4 Bundle
Can't wait to get my hands on these again. Fantastic games.
Re: This EU DriveClub Deal Is An Absolute Steal
After playing the plus version I lost whatever interest I had in this game. It's not for me.
Re: Dragon Age: Inquisition's Hefty 4GB PS4 Patch 1.11 Swats Loads of Bugs and Adds New Content
I'll probably play the the new DLC for closure and retire my inquisitor for good.
Re: Talking Point: What Is a Video Game?
@Tasuki I'd say even later than the PS1 era. Most people from that era would be in their twenties at this point. I'd say PS2 and possibly early PS3 era where people are still young enough not to remember them old classics you mentioned.

Re: What Happens on Your Birthday in Metal Gear Solid V?
I need this game. Hurry up Monday.
Re: Gran Turismo 6 Sales Linger at the Back of the Pack
Directly a consequence of releasing so late on the PS3. I'm surprised it was not ported to the PS4 considering the games popularity.
Re: Kojima Says Thanks in an Emotional Metal Gear Solid V Video
Very touching tribute to a visionary of the industry. However I have to wait til Monday to get my hands on MGS5. It's Ground Zeroes until then.
Re: Sony's Given the North American PlayStation Store a Makeover
Categories need to be sorted on the EU store and the search function. Other than that it's decent. I prefer the web store personally.
Re: NetherRealm KOs PS3 Version of Mortal Kombat X
It's time for devs to let go of last gen and focus on the new consoles. The PS4 has a good 5 years left in its tank. We need to see more quality games focused for this system.
Re: Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Had the Biggest Beta in PS4 History
Wish I had my time back to be honest.
Re: Gallery: Sony Made Us Dress Up as a Squirrel for Tearaway Unfolded
Looking good Sammy.

Re: September's PlayStation Plus Lineup Includes Four Free PS4 Games
Possibly the most disappointing lineup in recent memory for me.
Re: Keep Playing Call of Duty: Black Ops III on PS4 for Free
@xMEADx It probably will be great. Rather play anything DICE make over Infinity Ward/Treyarch
