Gaming PlayStation 5

I'll definitely pick up Death Stranding if they release a PS5 patch for it. Never got around to it on release, but I like how weird it looks. It's pretty cheap now, as well.

I remember getting it, loading up and sighing to myself thinking 'this will probably be such a mess' but it ended up easily being one of my best game experiences on the PS4. It has some issues but there's something ridiculously addictive and satisfying in planning a route and getting those S ranks. Although I didn't play it at that time it's kind of the perfect lockdown game in some ways.

Yeah I got it at launch, gave it 20-30 mins and then shelved it. Just by chance I saw the disc and thought why not? Slow burn at the beginning but it's getting going now. On my way to South Knot I think.

Even without a patch the game looks gorgeous enough, but a PS5 patch would be great. It's such a weird gameplay loop but I'm feeling it... Well done Kojima.

I thought the whole idea of traversal being an experience in itself was fantastic. It was like what people said made Journey brilliant I.e the journey but actually didn't becuase Journey was a bit crap, but this game nails it - every step feels important and meaningful in DS. That combined with the world building Kojima has done makes it a unique experience

Thats where I stand with it. Patch it you cowards.
 
Hey, don't dis Journey. Loved that game. :D
DS is great , though a bit boring once you've completed the main story.

Same here. The longer I leave it the more I'm holding out for a PS5 upgrade.

I can only imagine what Kojima would do with the DualSense.

I still remember that psycho mantis moment very fondly.

Agree but Journey on release felt very interesting. It was one of those ah so not every game has to be like that games. The non-spoken multiplayer aspect was novel and the only other game which took a similar approach was Bientot L'ete.

Then probably less than three years after release it felt old because indie developers everywhere were releasing lots of those quaint, minimal experiences. Journey was no doubt a big influence but it was no longer as interesting.
 
FF7 remake (Yuffie DLC) and Ratchet and Clank reviews should be dropping in the next few days. Finally some exclusives to play on this machine :drool:
 
Anyone playing Remnant? Seems like a fun game but better when you are two or three. Im fairly new to the game so if anyone has just started or want to try it, I would be keen to team up
 
I'm supposed to get a free copy of R&C but feel like a dick mithering my mate about it. Hopefully he remembers.

I'm getting mine free in return for some *ahem* favours.

I'm guessing, you have the same deal but need to reiterate that...

Haha.

I used to work for Sky many moons a go and provided friends with free Sky.

My friend always says he's paying me back for that. He basically gives me the games he isn't interested in.

Another partnership. No details about it though.
 
Ratchet and Clank has become the second biggest PS5 physical release. The top selling title is Spiderman MM.

Insomniac are having a strong year...

To be fair, both are games you'd fancy trading back in with little replayability.

No doubting the quality of output though especially when you compare to other devs. That's before you even consider Covid's impact.

They might not have any IPs but the talent and pedigree there makes them a great purchase
 
Has anyone played the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection?

I loved them back in the day on the original Xbox, but not sure how they'd hold up nowadays. Reviews seem mixed and as far as I can see the game is only available digitally.
 
By some miracle I've just managed to buy a PS5. :drool: Directly from the store, I was actually hours too late but they decided to let me buy one they had kept aside for a colleague.
