@velio84 Clio sport and supra off the bat? Ummmm decent actually.

I love GT as it usually features a car you can actually own and level it up. Vauxhall / Opel Astra 1.6 ftw.

Now having a 2ltr hybrid GR Corolla, if that's in hype x1000. I can then check its limits and race Grannies on my way to work in the 9:30am Sunday morning on the way to work cup!

FIFA is a now a tentpole. A tent which has a massive rip, broken zip and smells. The other 3 tentpoles are E Soccer, Madden and the annual WWE game.

Prior to psvr I thought the perfect games would be driving and first person games.

But its the worst travel sickness I have ever had. Wipeout I couldn't finish 2 laps so credit to the drivers of Auricom and Feisar.

This was in 2k5.

Yay can't wait to play Hitman. Gonna snipe from the sidelines and tell everyone how terrible this selection is. Demon Souls / Ratchet and Clank or Miles Morales. They are the ones we want. Sony is now just a carcass left in a locker compared to the start of the PS4. Looking at this selection was like finding my wife killed by Santa. Funny for a second then you realise what's happened and it wasn't a rotund happy go lucky hairy guy with loads of presents who killed her but a slaphead walking barcode battler dressed as santa. My life is ruined. Noooooooo.

Anyone played FF10?

Anyone finished FF10?

Anyone got so caught up in the story they bought a pair of boxing shorts, dyed their hair red and started throwing balls at lampposts?

The reality is Sony have to go big or go home.

Overcooked is a marmite game. If you like that style awesome, if you don't its monotonous and stressful with a less than elite memory.

As for Hitman 2, of course it's a great game. But when Hitman 3 is here it feels like a letdown.

Predator could be decent but the reviews are all bad so yeah. Not a great month for me. We badly need some big big games.

Big issues across multiple companies. This is gonna be big.

No insider knowledge I'm just fuming I can't play Rocket League

@zebric21 it was boosted by the pro and was amazing.

I know there isn't much love for second son. But for me, I played it through twice and loved it. It was my first 4k game (maybe checkerboarded but I couldn't tell) and those neon and electrical effects in HDR blew my tiny mind. So glad these assets got reused as this is one asset flip we can all applaud.

"you don’t have to spend hours clicking on every random bit of wall to find secrets"

Such an important part of the review so thank you for pointing this out. I purchased Doom 64 a week or two back and it's frustrating rather than fun. The shooting is great but the route finding is rubbish. I can't ever see myself picking it back up.

Glad Quake is different in this regard.

I've got a PS5 and I can't believe how bad it is. The made up nonsense about the PS5 that is. The PS5 is boss and works like a dream. It's flipping massive though and Im not a fan of the dual sense due to the weird holding position, but the PS5 is great. Go get one and join us.

I would like GTA 6 before I'm dead.

I used a power drill and the screw broke. So now I use my PS5 in horizontal only. Wouldn't want the PS5 falling over and killing my family.

Dreams, Detroit, Horizon, Death Standing, Wipeout Omega Collection, God of War.

All best in class, all daring in their own way.

PS5 them farts out Astros Playroom, Demon Souls and Returnal. So there's another 3 genres taken care of.

If you want more first party variety then Im unsure what console you have invented.

I'm all for dlc of a full single player game and if its £30 for a 20 hour campaign with a extra fluff - I would rather have that than microtransactions. For one reason or another (Rocket League and Dreams) I didn't pick up ghost, so really excited to give it a go. So for me the diatribe I'm reading in the comments is hyperbolic. Now y'all can get back to paying £3.99 for 460 diamonds while the proper gamers have some fun on PlayStation 5.

(Or moan about £10 which is literally 5 bottles of coke)

@Quintumply amazing. Let's give it a retrospective 10!

Picked up Doom 64. It's rubbish.

I can't believe SoR 4 only got a 7/10 broke my heart.

It's a straight 10 talliby. A straight 10.

Konami have zero information on this in investors information, and when I say none - there's isn't any AT ALL. E-Football and Yugi Oh will be at Gamescom though.

I've got the money for £70 games but just won't. The problem with this weird price is it goes over a mental barrier of a night out into the void of a pair of Nike Air Max. Then the special editions at £100 you just can't warrant that kind of one off money for a single game.

@kingbreww yes it's an 8/10 go and play some 7/10 games and you will see the difference.

Timmy, Timmy, Timmy.

@MinerWilly if you are overwhelmed now get ready for the 10,000 game steam library

You are just older mate. It's happened to me the last 12 months. I had psnow and it would have been amazing when I was school age. Home at 4pm, homework, tea, game till 9 and go to bed. Then on a lazy weekend. I can only dream of being available at 4pm most of the time and weekends? What are they anymore? With kids, cars, mortgages and other responsibilities it's difficult to find 40 hours to play a AAA game.

Gaming is a damn good and relatively cheap hobby, we have more games than ever and there is nothing stopping you jumping on some retro stuff. But your problem would likely be time especially as you've played manic miner and could be around my age.

@velio84 it's weird actually, the PS5 has messages under game base and trophies on your avatar icon. Bit of a change and it's not organic when you are used to the PS4. You get used to it eventually.

@Dr-M Pes 2018. It's the best this gen. 19 has issues with ball bouncing and you could see the focus towards a more FIFA focused game, it was still good though. 18 for me was perfect, awesome on the passing and strategies that make sense. The ML is a shadow of its former self but still ok. Running a league or world cup is great and the online myclub mode was fun as it was massively misbalanced and I had Lukaku, Maradonna, Veratti, Lacazette and Alderweireld within the first few hours of playing. Within a week I had added Batistuta, Pique, Maldini and a couple of players I can't remember the name of (Real Madrid sub LB at the time and Atleticos midfielder). It was fun and didn't need to buy any extra credits as your team was OP within a few weeks and you win loads of players in competition.

@Fight_Teza_Fight you can add the team's yourself with the editor. Kind of ruins the point though.

Mass Effect and Dreams.

What a combination! What a time to be alive! Love you PushSquare and the awesome community. Let's have it!

Mass Effect Andromeda says hi.

@Bdbrady where are you getting these numbers from?

1000 people routinely playing the game? That seems an underestimation to me. I'm more interested to see where they take it as it's a god send for people artistically minded.

@Bdbrady have you played it?

Dreams is the best artist game ever made. Making absolute bangers in Dreams recently.

@crazykcarter They look sweet, I was considering one but the bucket seats and look of the Corolla is just boss. So comfy. Interior is like someone designed a car for me. Loads of front space and hardly any for my Xbox playing kids. Minimal but classy. Win win. I've gone for obsidian blue rather than the bi tone and can't wait to see it! Currently in an 11 plate Yaris after my work car scheme became stupid expensive, it's embarrassing but knowing I can run it into the ground for 2 months is awesome. Haven't been this excited since Sonic Mania was announced.

I bought a Toyota Corolla GR 2 litre last week, collecting it in September so this will tide me over until I can do it for real!

Can we drop the gamepass stuff please. I have a PS5, if I wanted gamepass news I would go to an Xbox website.

@zekepliskin Godfall is great, however that comes with a few massive stipulations. Do you want great melee combat, sweet graphics and some amazing arenas to battle in with a lot of grinding? For me that's a yes and love it.

The story is weak (the lore is pretty fun though), you do the same stuff all the time, there's no real meta and it's there is an easy option which no one should ever pick, like every reviewer seems to have.

In fact that last point is why Souls is held in high regard, putting an easy option in it would garner a 5/10. Do not pick easy.

@The_New_Butler it's not just MS I'm having a go at here. Although they are pushing it way more than Sony. It's the way gaming is going in general. It will be an all digital future similar to the music industry. I would prefer it never went that route. Gaming is cheap anyway. The only thing going all digital is doing is giving us more homogenised games and no outlets to purchase games from or to trade them in with. So inevitably we will all be on subs especially big gamers like you and me compared to a Cod / FIFA player.

I honestly don't mind paying money for a good service but I have been getting that for 35 years since I could game. Playing thousands of games. I've never been bankrupted because of gaming. That could change if you have 5-6 subs on monthly Direct debit.

Ubisoft, Square, Take 2 and all the third parties will end up with services and that will just mean more and more exclusivity. Or rather more and differing subs with even more microtransactions.

It's all speculation of course but I was bemoaning Mass Effect 3s micros and could forsee where we are now. It will happen and all the gaming outlets like Game will close. Then you will have to sub and the subs price will go up.

@The_New_Butler Both MS office and Xbox gamepass are Microsoft thing as. It's not the end of the world if gamepass becomes the defacto way we consume games, Its that I didn't have an issue with gold/ps plus (approx £5 a month) and buying the games I want retail and trading them when done. Occasionally dipping into digital sales. If we end up paying £20-£25 a month, well yes I will buy less games for sure and the ones I own won't necessarily be what I want to play.

Here is an examples. I bought judgement for £25 and once I'm done will trade it for maybe £15. It cost me a tenner for a game over the next 2-3 months as I play these games slowly. To do it over Xbox will cost what £30 now and maybe £75 in the future? That's a worse deal. Also my local gameshops will close down.

Digital is the future but as a gamer who spends a fraction on my hobby than I've ever spent on music production, cars, houses and kids I don't want everything on tick. It's nice to own things and games are cheap.

@The_New_Butler I don't actually mind Microsoft per say. I use Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint and gamed on the Xbox and 360. My big issue is their subscription model. Office is a rip off and that's exactly the line gamepass will eventually follow. Office is great, but not worth £100+ for every pc user in my office. I've considered going all in with Linux but we have massive compatibility issues as everyone else uses office.

For instance you now have pay mechanics in solitaire which has always been free. It's just dirty and unnecessary. The sub method makes sense to a company but it will also cut off a significant amount of jobs in the retail space - which I still enjoy going to. And it's not as if gaming has been Uber expensive to start with. Buy a game you want - finish it - trade it in for 5/8 of the price rinse and repeat. My gaming hobby probably costs £400 a year or so all in and I play all the games I want to play, gamepass will be great for a couple of months and then will become similar to ps now which I haven't touched for months.

Since PES 2-6 the series went downhill. The Renaissance was pes 17-18, it wasn't quite as good but really shone through the passing and fluid strategy changes. 19 was a misstep and now free to play. Wow konami you really are a bunch of Muppets.

I've never seen so much praise for a subscription service which will end up costing £20-£25 per month. With games rammed with microtransactions. And you need a £150 additional controller as the Xbox X included controller is rubbish.

I've been living this Microsoft nightmare due to extortionate prices of Windows and I can see the same crap being applied to games. Long live Sony. Long live physical games and shops.

I pressed play on the above video of the debugged PS1 logo and have listened to it 100+ times reading the comments.

Godfall later on. I will platinum this one, oh yes I will. Hopefully before 2022.

Then maybe some Mass Effect.

@Cikajovazmaj I know, why not bring back slavery?

People can and should do what they want within the law. The IP will stay with whoever acquires the company and it's not just higher ups who make the games but whole teams.

@Johnnycide cities skylines is brilliant though.

A plague tale. Earth 2020-2021.

Oh Bethesda and Micro$oft you promise so much and deliver crackdown 3 and fallout 76. Heads in the clouds.

Pity we won't get to play this broken mess.

I started godfall tonight and it's..... Actually my cup of tea. No idea why it's got such a bad rep, it's a 3rd person diablo with nods to GoW and the lore is alright imo. Different to anything I've played before which is also pretty cool.

I understand why others may not like it, but it's not 'trash'.

If godfall and judgement arrive in the post I'm playing them. Otherwise naff all.

Xbox will have exclusives incoming soon and then things will heat up. Can't wait for 2023.
