Goron_3 Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 I imagine Gran Turismo will turn up this year too. 1
Hero-of-Time Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Still not too much I'm interested in on that list. I really want a release date for Ratchet and Clank. That's when I'll probably pull the trigger and get a PS5...providing that they have sorted out the stock issues by then. 2

In all seriousness, though: Fair enough. I'm actually quite happy that Destruction AllStars will be a PS+ game. It's gonna be an expensive video gaming year for me so anything that keeps money in my wallet is appreciated Aside from Hitman III I literally want every game from that list. 1 1

Been a long while since I've played a Gran Turismo game, not since 3 A-Spec way back when I picked up my PS2 the year before the PS3 launched think this was only detailing the games included in the CES presentation. Which is why we're still waiting on that and Final Fantasy XVI I'll be surprised if Gran Turismo doesn't make it this year, to be honest. XVI is probably Q4 2021 if we're lucky, and Q1/Q2 2022 if we're not (I think the only reason we wouldn't see it release this year is because of COVID delays, because that aside, Unit III have been stupidly consistent with what they've churned out).

I bought my PS2 for that and Onimusha. It was the last GT game that I actually enjoyed. After that they became too realistic for my liking and it seemed like you had to micro manage everything. I think the Forza series found a better balance between simulation and arcade. 26 minutes ago, drahkon said: Aside from Hitman III I literally want every game from that list.

Same for me. I got the entirety of Hitman I for free as the devs gave away each episode over time. Played it once, liked it but had other stuff to play which I liked more Think I'll wait for Hitman II to be free and then get the third installment further down the line since you can play all levels from the first two games in the third one. 2
Julius Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 Not too surprising an update, but it does feel too specific to be a mistake. It's why I think there's still a chance Demon's Souls makes it into PC. Like, seriously, who behind-the-scenes keeps botching these? 1
drahkon Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 Well...it certainly makes me look like a fool 2
Julius Posted January 16, 2021 Posted January 16, 2021 16 minutes ago, drahkon said: Well...it certainly makes me look like a fool It's so strange. This and Demon's Souls having PC mentioned initially in its trailer in September makes me wonder if these are internal goals that PlayStation is aware of but aren't ready to set in stone? I mean, looking at Kena for example, that was supposed to be a launch title, so a delay to March doesn't seem too crazy. January 2022 for Athia could be a placeholder date for 2022 in general; that has been in the works for a while already, so maybe Square Enix have told them behind closed doors that 2022 is the aim? How that then works it's way onto this presentation is still confusing, though. Ratchet and Clank and Horizon being a bit more nebulous makes sense I guess, I imagine the former is being polished and the latter is still aiming for later this year of course, but they just want to leave it late to have a short lead-in time from date announcement to release (like when we didn't get the PS5 launch titles announced until after that September event, which was still the strangest part of that whole thing for me). The main one stumping me is Pragmata, you don't just pluck 2023 out of thin air when all official materials say 2022, because a delay of that size being noticed that far out would most likely be related to COVID (we saw other Japanese developers delay their schedules by about 7 months, which was time needed to working from home), but would they have that timetable change this early, and after only revealing it in September? All super weird. Oh well, should keep us guessing at any rate (and I suppose it won't be too long until we know whether there's any accuracy to this)
Dcubed Posted January 17, 2021 Author Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Yeah... 2021 is basically gonna get delayed into 2022 (not just for Sony, but for everyone). THIS is when we’ll really start feeling the effects of COVID on game development... Edited January 17, 2021 by Dcubed 1
killthenet Posted January 20, 2021 Posted January 20, 2021 Seems like stock is starting to trickle out in the UK again - Smyths, Game, AO and Currys have all had them for sale again the last few days but they're still like gold dust, selling out in a matter of minutes. Reseller prices are starting to trend downwards but they're still at a level where they can make a tidy profit so I don't think the use of bots is going to slow down for a few while, at this rate i'll be surprised if I can get one before the end of March.
martinist Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 SO SHopTo got restocked and I was never informed. You'd think they'd e-mail the guys that had their pre-orders cancelled first but no...I guess not, they make it a free for all. 1
Ganepark32 Posted January 23, 2021 Posted January 23, 2021 So weird thing is happening with my Dualsense. On the textured back of the controller, I've got a small area on the back where my right hand would rest (about the side of a 5p coin) where the PlayStation symbol texture has rubbed off completely with their being a dark ring round this area. I noticed it weeks ago but I've yet to see anyone else make mention of having it happen to them. Its odd as I've been washing my hands regularly before play on my PS5 but it doesn't look as though its to do with dirt or anything having gone on the controller. It looks like an abrasion but again, I've been careful with the controller and have always had it on a flat surface where the area in question isn't in contact with the surface. I'm wondering if the controller was like that to start with, as I've definitely got what look like smudge marks on the shell of the console itself and I noticed these when unlocking. Just very odd. Doesn't hamper play or anything just odd that there's this one small circular area that's been rubbed down when the rest of the texture is fine Regardless, enjoying my time with the PS5 immensely, even if the WiFi on the console is woeful compared to the PS4 and even the base Xbox One (my console is still regularly disconnecting and not maintain a connection at all yet my Xbox One in the same room is managing easily). Got myself a hefty library of games to play through (AC Valhalla, Immortals Fenyx Rising, Dirt 5, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Ghostrunner, Star Wars Squadrons, Crash Bandicoot 4, Maneater, Spiritfarer, Shady Part of Me, Haven, Kentucky Route Zero, Hitman 2 and Ni No Kuni 2) but definitely itching for Ratchet and Clank at this point.
drahkon Posted January 28, 2021 Posted January 28, 2021 There is now a "deals" tab in the PS5 store. Took them long enough 1

Would Sony dare sabotage the Series X version to make the PS5 version look better in comparison I wonder... I do hope they do a comparison; it'd make for an interesting read/watch I'm sure!
Julius Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) PlayStation 2020 Wrap Up stats are rolling out. Was stuck between putting this here or in the PS4 thread, but yeah, I'm just sticking it here. Because The link. You'll probably need to change the locale to /en-us/. My 2020 Wrap Up Yeah okay, so I can already tell just looking through that some of these are a little off, but oh well, it's just some fun! Yeah, so this one hurts. GTA V not so much, because that's just Friday night with the guys from work, but that's the least FIFA I've played in a year by far and it still totalled 50 hours. Yes, I'm a corporate shill. Oh, and I swear I'm not too far off the same mark for FIFA 21, and I only started playing that about a month ago. Definitely going to have to delete it after this next Career Mode season. Gah, I hate it! From what I've seen this is probably falling on the lower end of anything, and holy cow, that's easily the most hours I've put into gaming in a year. Yeah, no hour and a half morning and evening commute seriously adds up, and this is just on PlayStation; considering that I have over 70 hours in Xenoblade and 50 hours in Animal Crossing, as well as a few PS3 games which wouldn't be included in this too, I'm solidly over the 1000 hour mark in gaming for a year for the first time in my life. I don't know whether to be proud or concerned. Yeah, single player gaming or get out is how I roll. Well, besides Fridays, which are long sessions, clearly! Again, kind of crazy for me. Let's hope it passed the 200 mark this year Yeah, there it is. The Wednesday dip doesn't surprise me so much, but Sunday is clearly higher than Saturday just because I'm trying to get a game finished before returning to work on the Monday I've just checked and this is nearly half of my current trophy count (1348). Holy cow. Just checked and I've soared by a lot of my friends in terms of trophy levels who have been on PlayStation Network since early on in the PS3's life. Which makes it abundantly clear I don't have anyone on here on PSN Yeah, so this and the next part is making me question if all of the stats I've shared so far are just based on my time spent with the PS4? Because I got three Platinum trophies this year (Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and Astro's Playroom) but only one was on the PS4. I don't know anyways, that's the most Platinum trophies for me in a year since 2018, when I think I picked up 5, but maybe I'm forgetting some? Off the top of my head being Shenmue, Shenmue II, Spider-Man, Dragon Quest XI, and a super short game called Burly Men at Sea I played that Christmas. PS5-specific stuff: Yeah, that checks out. As does that. Yeah, okay, but this doesn't. BRING THE PS5 THEMES ON YOU COWARDS. Edited February 2, 2021 by Julius
Tales Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 I'm just going to type it out. 66 games played. AC Valhalla 182 hours. Very sure this is wrong. Think it's more like 120. Or 140 at most. Fall guys 110 hours. Surprised it isn't more. FFVII Remake 71. More accurate I think. I played 1 and half playthrough and some chapter replays. Total hours played: 2457. 2404 locally and 53 online. How do I have 110 hours on Fall Guys but only 53 played online Played some Fortnite in the beginning of the year too. Anyway, 9 hours in vr. 261 days played. Afternoon Sunday is when I played the most. Except for Friday it's similar to Julius with the dip on Wednesday. Not sure why, thought it would be more even. 954 trophies earned of which 16 is platinum. 1
drahkon Posted February 2, 2021 Posted February 2, 2021 It says I played 72 hours last year...in total. What do think? True or false 1
