@DeepSpace5D no way an Indy game could be FP surely? Not interested if it is. I want to see him in all his glory as I manouvre through booby traps etc!
Bethesda more renowned for first person games. Please don't let Indy be that. Has to be third person. I want to see him in all his glory when I'm controlling him. God, this excites me. I love Indy!
@Bad-MuthaAdebisi you say 'garbage' but SWBF2 is now an excellent game, Jedi Fallen Order is really good and Squadrons is decent as well. In fact, even the first Battlefront still gets played by my son and I on occasion. I'd say EA have actually done pretty well with Star Wars to date.
I always buy digital. Too lazy to swap discs around. If you could install from disc and then not have to use the disc again maybe I'd buy physical because of resale value, but I don't buy games day one anyway, always a year or two later when they are £15 or less, so not too bothered about resale.
If we're being honest, the new UI is worse than the PS4, isn't it? Anyone who didn't bag a PS5 yet, don't worry, it's not all that. It's quieter, loads some games a bit quicker, and that's about it.
Quick resume on XBOX is far better than the cards system on PS5.
I preferred the bigger tiles/thumbs for each game cover on the PS4, rather than the little ones at the top like on PS5. And the fact you can't sort into folders etc is frustrating. Why are you taking features AWAY?? Surely you should be addingto existing ones?
@Hanbaga why would anyone even pay most of these 'sales' prices in the first place?! I jus bought Star Wars BF2 and celebration upgrade for a combined £14. Now thats a sale price! Would never pay full price for any game. In fact, I'd never pay more than £15-20 for a game. Happto wait for a good sale.
Who cares really, just don't buy it. You didn't have the option at launch to double your XP, and you still bought the game, so you don't really need to spend £10 on it now, do you. Just show some restraint.
I don't care how much money it's going to cost Sony or CDPR, refunds should be given. Yes, CDPR are the ultimate guilty party here, but Sony actually gave it the go ahead to be put on the store so they share a huge part of the fault as well.
I can't believe a company could destroy it's reputation that quickly but CDPR have managed it with ease! And they keep on digging the hole even deeper.
The Witcher seems a long time ago now!!! Personally I think it's kind of funny, what with there being so many gaming snobs when it comes to Ubisoft and EA etc. "Our hallowed CDPR would never operate like 'those' companies, they push out quality product". Hmmmmm.
@Makina that doesn't cut it, sorry. Needs to be taken out, changed or switched off by default with the ability to turn it on.
I have epilepsy and can tell you, waking up from a seizure feels like you have been hit by a bus, you have no recollection of what happened that day, and your tongue is bit to shreds. In summary, it's not fun.
If there is an element in a game that can specifically cause that, it shouldn't be there. As most epileptics will agree, we know the risk of playing games but most of them are generally OK. This sounds like it isn't.
I have just started getting into FUT on FIFA 21 having avoided it all these years before. Difference is, I don't really GET it, and I don't play online so have no care about having to get the 'best' players. It is massively thrilling to unlock new packs though, or spend the coins you've earned through playing to get new players etc. For the life of me though, I can't imagine why anyone would want to pay money on it. Can someone enlighten me? What's the point? I don't really 'get' FUT anyway if I'm honest. Like, I have some decent players but the only ones who are actually effective are the pacy ones. So why spend money on those that aren't? And, whats the difference between a Champs League version of a player, or a TOTW player or whatever? Just market value, or are their stats better?
And, ultimately, this chemistry thing. Does that make your team play better if it's higher by increasing the indiviual players stats? If so, I've not noticed any difference. And it just restricts who you can have in your team anyway, because you have to have the same players from the same league or nationality. I want to mix things up!!
@OneManDroid this is one of the things I still don't understand about modern gaming. Why release a game full of bugs? That game will get reviewed on the day it's released and, if the reviews are terrible, it will be yesterdays news and no one will ever hear about it once it's been patched and got better. Sales will probably take a big hit. Surely it would have been better, sales wise, if the game was released in a good state from the start?
I got one delivered yesterday after adding it to my EE phone contract! Only trouble now is that it has to stay in it's box until Xmas as it's 'for my son'!
I have both subs. Don't really play online but my son plays the odd game online so have it for him. Wouldn't bother me if I didn't have it. And, to be honest, I don't really play much of what's on Now either really. But I do like the choice of being able to if I want.
At the end of the day, you can purchase both of these services for a combined £70 in certain sales, which works out about £5 per month. That's not too bad considering everything that offers. It's half of the cost of Netflix or Spotify.
Maybe Sony should offer them as a bundle for that amount or thereabouts, I'm sure most people would be happy to pay that, wouldn't they?
Unless there is a AAA for about £12-15 or an indie for £3-5 then count me out. No sense paying these prices when you can wait another year (and work on the massive backlog) and get them way cheaper.
As much as I hate these scalpers, I can't but also hate these morons who are paying these prices in the first place. Why?! Just wait and feel better about not giving your money to a scumbag. Especially for something as superflous as a controller charger!!
I have to question the players motives here when they would surely be fully aware that their likeness has been in both FIFA and PES for, in Ibra's case, about 15-20 years now!! Why the sudden interest?
My worry is that it gains traction because, although some people don't care about faces and names in the games, I personally feel it adds to the immersion etc. A player with a generic face pulls me right out of the game. I guess in PES it doesn't matter so much because you've always been able to edit the names, but FIFA you can't even do that.
Could have a huge shockwave across football games if this goes anywhere far!
If I purchase the PS5, presumably I can still use the PS4 as it was the day I 'left' it? His grandparents want a console round their house for when the kids stay over, so the PS4 with all the games I have on it already would be perfect, as long as I can just copy them all across to the PS5. Would there be any issues with primary accounts etc?
@Rob_230 I'd happily take that as well, more than happy to pay for games when they are as good as this. No microtransactions, no rubbish, just well made fun!
A great update, that a lot of people requested. Good that the developers are listening to the community and another reason why this game is awesome. Hopefully they listen to the overwhelming desire to add THPS3 in as DLC as well, even if it's paid for. Would make this package the real deal.
@thefourfoldroot but if you can (supposedly) play most of your PS4 games on a PS5, why would you keep the PS4? It's just more room taken up. IMO its better to have EVERYTHING under one roof. An all in one entertainment experience. I don't want to have to switch leads, discs, change channels etc. That's why it's important to me that Sony gets the BC thing correct. I just want to buy a PS5 (I'd wait but my son wants it!) and be able to play new and old games seamlessly, all of them!
@naruball I disagree. I want to play old AND new games on my £400 console. Without having to have an extra console under the TV. I suspect most people with any sort of backlog on PS4 would agree.
@Thesnipergecko I guess you have to with Sony not liking BC. If they're not going to bother with the older generations they should really spend big on PS Now and make it a true Spotify/Netflix service that will allow you to play all games from PS1, 2, 3 and 4 on the PS5. That would be epic!
@GamingFiend bet they don't. I mean, if a game as big as Assassins Creed Syndicate may have issues, I can guarantee half of these three quid games in this sale won't work.
@naruball Why would you want to keep your PS4 when you've just splashed out £450 on a PS5? I don't know why Sony can't ensure that all PS4 games work on the new console. I mean, how hard is it, really? It's purely greed - they know that they can make more money by reissues and PS Now subs.
Wow, a few of us showing our age on here today! I too was a member of the ZX Spectrum brigade. You would buy a brand new game from the shop in those days with at least 40% expectation that it wouldn't work!! Imagine that nowadays!!!
@deathaxe They make it as hard as possible to do that though. Like, there isn't even any kind of link to Live Chat on their website anywhere, yet I've used it before so it definitely exists.
This issue has plagued PS4 all generation, I can't believe they've done nothing to rectify it.
Stitched up two months in a row! Last month I couldn't claim Vampyr because I'd downloaded it on Now. This month I won't be able to download Hollow Knight for the same reason. Luckily I didn't play Shadow of War when it was on Now otherwise I'd have missed out on that as well.
Tell me, Sony, why do I need to subscribe to both services again?? Same games on both services. At the very least don't punish me for doing so by taking away my ability to get the Plus games.
I have to say, it just doesn't excite me at all. I hate the design of it. None of the day one games appeal to me at all. The only thing that I'd be getting it for is the load times and the quietness, and I can live with what I have for a while longer. Maybe once they make a smaller version or start releasing some amazing games.
@daveofduncan Haha, give over. Check out some NRL (Aussie rugby league) and tell me that's not better than the utter tedium of watching an NFL game. Those League players wear no armour and some of the hits are huge. And it's actually vaguely exciting compared to NFL!
