Gaming PlayStation 5

Do you still only get to kill robot dinosaurs with pointless arrows on this?

There's loads of different weapons now, too many imo, means you're changing your load out constantly.

Kill humans again too, and people say melee combat is better but I still find it annoying.
 
I'm thinking of getting The Quarry which is released on Friday but the difference in price between the PS4 version (45 pounds) and the PS5 version (65 pounds) seems ridiculous. I'm thinking i might just get the PS4 version and play it on the PS5 as I don't think the difference in quality should be that much.

What's that?
 
So is the vampire battle royale any good then, does anyone even play it, see a lot of it on twitch but no one actually talking about it elsewhere?
 
New logo for Bend Studio - personally I preferred the old one.

Just got a PS5 as a gift. Woohoo!

My base PS4's processor/some technical shit had konked so it wasn't giving a video output on the regular TV but giving one with major static snow on our main TV. My plan was to do some indie gaming for the coming months with the visual disturbance (games where I don't care that much about visuals) but wifey managed to somehow get a PS5 for me within a day's effort. So excited :D
That is a kingly gift!

How are you getting on with it? Is good yah?

I realized I have only a few PS5 games in my library. Out of which one was FIFA 2022 which sucked me in with its HD glory and then just sucked. Gosh I hate that game.

Astro's Playroom though is absolutely wonderful. What a terrific job they did with it - pretty to look at and just such bundles of fun and nostalgia.
 
Yep, same. I can't believe people buy it every year. Regurgitated drivel.

I still haven't played Astro's fully. Played 20 mins or so when I first got my PS5 but no more. Glad you're enjoying it anyhow.
I tried FIFA after a few years and it's actually shockingly bad. I mean, the defending mechanics would be better if you gave it to a school project.

I am really loving Asto's Playroom. I don't really play cutesey Nintendo like games much so maybe there's a bit of that. But it's sort of my first game in this resolution, with this insane controller technology and PS nostalgia, so it's got me alright:D

I'm looking forward to the new PS plus though as with that I'll get to play Guardians, Returnal and Demon Souls which should be great.

Since I've gone from base PS4 to this, it's quite the jump. Metro ExoduS looks lovely on it too.

Yeah, returnal and guardians I'm looking forward to, I've hovered over both with a view to buy but have so far, pleasingly, resisted.

Metro Exodus is another I've got that I haven't finished. I agree, that looked dead nice. Exciting times for you :)
 
oh yes- this is the one from the devs wh did dead space isn't it?

Yeah, the guy of co-created Dead Space is working on it. Looks awesome. A month after this comes out, you then have the remake of Dead Space. Think it's the end of January
 
I mean does anyone care? It's a ps3 game that was remastered for Ps4 already.
 
I haven't played the remaster of the first one in a while, but this doesn't look that different from the trailer. It's a weird thing to be working on. I know they're in between projects, but it just seems so unnecessary.

Still wondering if they're going to put Factions in this, because otherwise what the hell are they doing with that? It's been ages since they talked about it.
 
It really is weird, I mean they say it's reimagined but honestly the 2nd game didn't really improve much on the combat from the 1st anyway, so how much could they do?

I'm with you that this remake is weird, but would massively disagree with this statement. The gameplay in the second game is SO much better than the first. The second game is a joy to play from that perspective, whereas the first one definitely is not. It was a huge difference, IMO.

Agree. The combat was brilliant in the second whereas in the first it was average.
 
Is factions coming with it? Absolutely loved TLOUs multiplayer

Nah. I'd guess early part of next year or near when the show is to debut.

Rest of this year looks to be The Last of Us in September, Ragnarok in November (hopefully around my birthday) and for other months the various PC releases and odd third party/PS+ game like Stray.
 
The Last of Us 1 remake has been revealed. Gonna be for PS5 and PC.



Waste of time this no need for it, but on the off chance you have somehow not played it please do yourself a favour and play it.

Miles better then the second for me, the second might be more polished and better mechanics but the journey and the story of the first especially the ending are miles better.
 
I pull out old games to play through again from time to time. Just finished running through both LOU titles. I will be buying this remake happily, will be great to play it with the improved graphics etc. So far just from the screenshots its a decent jump up from the previous upgrade. Worth the money for me. Cant wait.

It's the gameplay I want it for. I played 90% of the first and always wanted to go back to finish it. I'll play both back to back, you'd assume it'll be a smooth transition too.
 
So lots of the usual self congratulatory lovefest bollocks in this video but also some interesting bits. especially a new title coming.
