Gaming PlayStation 5



Can't wait for this. Gameplay trailer in a couple days. Makers of XCOM...
 
PS Plus games have leaked again apparently:

Overcooked! All You Can Eat
Hitman 2
Predator: Hunting Grounds
 
Anybody planning to buy Deathloop in a few weeks?

I was planning to wait for it to hit Gamepass, but it looks and sounds brilliant. Different than your average game, and timeloops where you end up playing sections over again doesn't feel like something that will resonate with many people but for anybody that loved Dishonoured / Arkane, this should be right up your street.

It looks an interesting game and certainly one I’ll keep an eye on. Think it’s one to look at the reviews for and see how it goes. I wouldn’t be surprised if it did quite well and proved fairly popular!

I thought about waiting until it goes down in price but I’m desperate for something new to play tbh.

With it being Arkane I wouldn't be surprised if it got good reviews and low sales numbers. Although, people are so starved for anything next gen and with nothing else coming out on PS at the moment, it might do better than you'd normally expect.

Could be a good trade-in job if you can complete it quick enough and don't care about buying disc

Yeh I know the feeling. I still need to play Ratchet at some point though which I’m waiting to come on sale. If this Is good it could be one for afterwards though.
 
Article specifically says there won’t be.
It says in the article there won't be anything this time. I imagine they want a VR centric event later on

Yeah, that's why I've held off for so long. It looks like it could be a relaxing sort of game from what I've seen of it, and I'm in the mood for that. Gonna wait for the director's cut to release though.
It's relaxing sometimes, and other times it's. Well. I won't spoil it.

Loved this game. Genuinely haven't been affected by a game like that in a long time. Mechanic wise it felt a bit lacking in combat and traversal but those look to have been improved in this new version.

Yeah, I heard the combat isn't great, but it's my understanding (and I could be wrong as I obviously haven't played it) that combat can be avoided a lot of the time? There are probably instances where that isn't feasible, but I hope it's the case somewhat. I'm a little fatigued by the traditional first-person/third-person games where the only way out of a situation is to annihilate everyone in the vicinity.

That's why I'm intrigued by this game.

You can avoid a lot of combat if you want - it still has that MGS DNA in it. And while the combat isn't great, what is there is tremendous fun. In my bald opinion, anyway
 
Finally got one today, aunt have time till the late tonight to play it, only thing that puzzles me is why do they have an angle on the handles of the controller.

That isn't the case with Horizon Forbidden West. In fact, there seems to be no current upgrade path at all planned for the game. Instead, Sony is suggesting you make that decision up front. You'll still have the $60 version for PS4 and $70 version for PS5 to choose from, but you won't be able to pay the $10 upgrade fee to make the jump after the fact. Instead, Sony says that they only way to get a version of that game that works across both consoles, you'll need to purchase one of the game's more premium editions, starting at the $80 Digital Deluxe Edition.

Such a dick move from Sony. They're going to lose a lot of faith from people if they keep this shit up. It's even more mental when you consider how many people can't get their hands on a ps5 right now and will have no choice but to play it on ps4.

So even the PS5 version at £70 wouldn't give you the PS4 version whilst you wait? That feels like the minimum they should offer.

I can see them reversing that decision.

Yeah I’ve not been impressed at all with how they’ve gone about stuff like this - they really ought to be making it simpler and fairer for consumers, especially when they’re charging £70 for a game.

Nope it appears not, only the collector's edition and above seems to cover both versions. I think they'll have to. Shortages are likely to continue well into 2022 and this could be really, really bad press for them. Whatever about the price increase for next gen games (which I think is shitty enough for games that are still on current gen!), this is just pure shithousery.

I feel like unless they get hit in the pocket, they'll keep trying. Thing is, (seems like) the majority just bend over for this stuff...
 
They reversed a similar decision on Spiderman right? Or have I imagined that?
 
Idiotic move not to allow you to even have the option to upgrade it. Even more so when Jim Ryan was saying not so long back about not to worry about the upgrade path, as they're giving PS4 users an upgrade path to get PS5 versions for free.

Wouldnt surprise me if they change course here, but they do some stupid moves sometimes.
 
Ratchet and Clank has gone down in price but it's still around £60. Just can't justify that for a game I'm not desperate to play.

Might get it once it reaches £25-30.

Yeah I finished it the other day. It's good but a one play and done type. I'll probably trade mine in actually.

It's fecking amazing. One game I didn't mind paying full price for, but it is steep. I would say it's well worth it at around £45
 
Takes some getting used to but stick with it because it’s brilliant

I predict I'll be shit at first, then get decent at it and enjoy it. Then one day I'll be chucked into a lobby where you get killed within 2 seconds and thus the game cycle is complete.
