It can only be considered a good thing for the entire industry that those studios didn't end up in either Sony's or MS's hands. We really don't need more classic IPs becoming console exclusives.

- Start date
Yeah, I agree with that. I'm just a bit surprised as compared to the other deals recently it seems a bit of a bargain price for the IP's that were bought.
In regards to Sony fecking up the pricing on PS Plus upgrades in Asia, was just reading this as well:
I mean, this is peak Sony, really. Generally speaking, those who stack their subscriptions for years are going to be your most loyal customers. The feck are they thinking if all this is true. There's going to be a shitstorm coming their way if this is true when it comes to America and Europe.

Be the exact same thing as they have all tried, change their mind once everyone kicks up a fuss all the companies are at it.
Picked up Guardians of the Galaxy for £25 at CEX. It's actually pretty decent and good fun. A game like this could've easily been a by the numbers piece of crap but there was some care put into this.
And then make themselves appear like they're the good guys after all. Classic maneuver.
Heard good things about it. Looking forward to playing it on the 23rd June.
Ha ha solius what an idiot
Wait what did I miss?
it's on the new PS Plus subscription service.
Ah. Prob not the version I'll have. Plus I can sell it back to CEX once I'm done for £11. Spending £14 overall on it seems a fair price.
Yeah it's a cool game and a lot of fun, I'm glad I took the risk and paid £0 for it on Gamepass.
It'll be on the middle tier but yeah you got the game for a good price.
Dual Sense's on sale. Just picked up a Galactic Purple one from GAME for £45.
Dino Crisis 1 apparently being added to the PS premium; now that's more like it. Thanks Capcom 
It is surprisingly good and quite funny at times.
Kindve wish I hadn’t gotten it now though, this and loads of other games I picked up in the new year sales are now on this new service
Good chance of God of War Ragnarok being released around September as it has just been rated in Korea.
Forbidden West was rated about 3 months before it was released.

Are we getting a Showcase or what Damo?
I'm sure it will be great, and more of the same is hardly a bad thing but I find myself a little worried about Ragnarok and I'm not sure why.
I'd guess either a PlayStation one in June/July or a dedicated God of War State of Play in June.
Could be a combination of things:
- With this being confirmed to be the conclusion of the Norse saga, there's a lot to put in so concern it could be tough to execute
- The mural in God of War 2018 potentially foreseeing Kratos' death
- The sequel to The Last of Us being divisive. Different studio but they're two of Sony's highest rated
- Your thoughts about it being potentially 'more of the same' and not a big leap over 2018
Sony Santa Monica, no need to worry they are as solid as Naughty Dog.
Yeah you covered it well! Saying that I loved TLOU2 (although the story was too long).
I think the showcase on it didn't do much for me as it looked almost identical. But as you said it's a great studio and September would be a brilliant release date. Me and my partner will be all over it!
I really enjoyed Days Gone. Narrative had some missteps but gameplay was quality. I think LTOU2 had a lot of similarities in the feel of its gameplay which is a good thing.
yeah they’re very similar tbh. I like that sort of game so no surprises I enjoy days gone.
I've just faced the saw mill horde, it’s the biggest one I’ve done so far it took me 3 attempts.
1st time they chased me when I wasn’t ready
2nd time I fell in some water and drowned by accident.
3rd time Did it quite easily.
Returnal is hard
How hard is it overall? I feel like a bit of a cruise after doing Elden Ring.
I’m playing on normal difficulty and it’s easy enough the larger hordes are Virtually impossible to tackle early on in the game but when you’ve got upgrades and better weapons they aren’t too bad in general.
very good game. Could really have done with a bit of reduction in length though. Becomes a grind eventually
Agree with that. Also they got the last area totally wrong for me.
But I still had a very good time with it.
Sorry to ask a ridiculous question but can someone explain to me the deal with the updated PlayStation plus??
I have PlayStation plus - think it was £49.99 for 12 months. On my system it says that PlayStation Now is changing soon and merging with PlayStation Plus…
Do I have to pay for a PlayStation Now subscription? Feel like I am missing the point here, but don’t know if I have to pay to subscribe or whatever to get access to new games.

When your region changes to the updated PS+, you'll be put in on the lowest tier which has the same features you have access to now at the exact same price. You'll then be given the option to stay on the lowest tier, or upgrade to Extra (adds up to 400 PS4/5 games to download) or Premium (provides benefits from previous tiers plus up to 340 PS3, PS2, PS1 and PSP games as well as time-limited game trials for certain games) and you pay the difference between the price of those tiers and the £49.99
Thanks mate. Reading the thread title I assumed the new PS Plus had come in in the uk already but doesn’t look like I’ve got option to upgrade yet.
My gaming time is massively limited at the minute tbh so little point in upgrading subscription just yet.
The scale of those hordes are actually insane. I don’t think there’s many feelings created like that in video games!
Not that hard. If you go in unequiped or unprepared then it’s near impossible but you are pretty much at late game by the time you tackle the hordes so they are mostly okay. I think for me personally they were the right kind of challenge, takes a couple of attempts but doesn’t grind.
Yeah I've never experienced anything like it before. First time I faced one I was panicking like feck.
Literally just finished the main story of the game this morning and I am really happy with how things turned out. Just going to try 100% it now and clear the side stuff. One of my fave games I've played
I just wish there was a DG2 announced.
The hordes were exhilarating. Shame they left it on a cliffhanger - must have been confident that doing that would lead to a sequel but can't see that ever happening now with Bend moving on to a new project and the directors leaving.
I thought Sony shot down the idea of a Days Gone sequel not too long a go.
IIRC it was the worst performing Sony exclusive of last gen.

Yeah, the sequel got rejected I think, and the director of the original said he's "moved on" (I know they don't need him to make a sequel, but it's very unlikely they will make one)
On the sales front, there were reports that the game had sold at least 9 million copies. But it turned out that number came from the director himself, and the website he used to get that figure no longer exists, and I think a lot of people in the know questioned it. I really can't see it being that high. I know it did decent sales, but not sure if it's more than GoT.
Hopefully they give us a price & release date for PSVR2 and also release date for God Of War: Ragnarock.
Wishful thinking but gameplay of Wolverine will be great.
