No Silent Hill, no Metal Gear Solid, no surprises, pretty meh showcase.

Wolverine was definitely a surprise. KoTOR too probably as I don't think I saw any rumours prior to showcase - I could be wrong as I didn't play the original so wasn't looking out for it.

Guess the Diamond in the trailer was purely referring to Uncharted. That was disappointing as I was hoping Lost Legacy would come to PS+/Collection soon but no chance of that happening now.

There were solid rumours all the way back in April that Aspyr was working on a remake but I certainly didn't expect it to be a timed PS5 exclusive, considering the original was a... timed Xbox exclusive. That's a surprise.

I’ve loved all of the GOW’s right from the beginning, they’ve all been great games so I’m pretty sure this can’t go too wrong as the basic mechanics of the game are already there and sound. It’ll be fine I’m sure and I loved the father son thing in the last game so I’m optimistic.

My hope is that by the end of this game Atreus is his own character and maybe subsequently gets his own game as the dynamic would / could / should provide a very different experience to a game with Kratos as the main character.

Then we could enjoy Kratos and Loki games as separate entities and the ofd reunion every generation.

Yeah but I do hope Kratos continues to remain protagonist of this series at least.They hinted at something not so nice in the last one.

Also, God of Calm & Reason.
 
I missed the show live but having now watched the trailers I think it looked great. There were plenty of games to get excited about. GOW Ragnarock looked brilliant and I need to make a point of replaying the previous one before that arrives.

Thought Forspoken looked kind of cool and unique although the main character was slightly annoying in that trailer. The combat and magic looked really promising though so I'll keep my eyes on that one.

I was slightly burnt out of Spiderman after finishing Miles Morales but that trailer got me hyped, could be some really interesting coop dynamics, I'm just intrigued by what they will do with the setting. Wolverine was unexpected and I trust Insomniac to deliver yet again. Hope they go down the slightly gritter route compared to Spiderman.

I hope she doesn’t talk as much in the game as she did in the trailer, she didn’t shut up.

It can have a big effect on the enjoyment of a game if you don’t like the main character. So many people love HZD but I couldn’t stand Aloys breathy and overly sincere voice to the point I didn’t enjoy the game.

I quite liked Aloy. She's no Geralt, but not a bad protagonist. The one that I liked that others didn't was Decan St. John from Days Gone. He too talked too much but somehow I found his insanity endearing even though it sometimes came across as forced.
 
That Forspoken game looked neat but I hated that female protagonist when she talked… Can’t wait for that irreverent fish out of water humour that it‘ll end up having I’m sure! With NOT Wheatley from Portal 2 played by NOT Stephen Merchant.

Interestingly that game has multiple writers, who include the guy who wrote After Earth with Shyamalan and Amy Hennig, who did all the good Uncharted games. An equal measure of dread and confidence respectively.

GoW Ragnarok feels disappointing tbh. I hold the first /fourth one in such high regard. But the fact that this is the final of this series (set in norse mythology), Cory not directing it, the comments I read from the new director which portray a lame direction and even the trailer itself (which didn't live up to the hype for me but maybe that's unfair), all play into that sentiment. The director keeps talking about it being a family drama , atreus is moaning again at the start etc but surely after the magnificent 1st part that was so much about their dynamic thought this would be focused more on the actual saga. Just hope it doesn't feel samey. Proper fanboi rant here :(

I believe that this is the middle part of a trilogy.

My biggest issue is with it being cross gen. Visually it doesn’t look that much better than GoW 2018.

I agree but I just wonder if the graphics improvement is something that necessary considering they're so good already, the room for improvement there isn't significant.

I'm sure it can go up a level but it's no the priority. If GoW 2018 looked a little less worse it would still be one of gaming's greats.
 
A decent show I thought. That Project Eve game looks cool. Obviously, Spider-Man and Wolverine from Insomniac are exciting, although I'm not much of a fan of studios announcing games that are quite far away.

Not really much of a God of War fan to be honest, but I will obviously play it. Pleasantly surprised by the release of GT 7, thought it would be later next year instead. Was cool to see it being released relatively soon.

Been interested in that Ghostwire Tokyo game since I first saw it, so was nice to see more of that. So yeah, good showing overall

Disappointed that there was no Metal Gear remake. Would have killed to see that and maybe see some changes to PS Plus

Looked like a blatant Nier Automata rip-off. Robot buddy, swords, gratuitous arse shots and anime tits.

Still though, Nier Automata was great.

I was surprised there was no changes announced with either PS Plus or the PS Collection, it feels like they will have to respond at some stage and shouldn't leave it too late. Even if it's just the promise of newer games going forward.

I got a feeling they may introduce TV or Movies (or maybe both) into Plus. They did it in Poland a few months ago for a trial period of a year. Can't say I'd be a fan of this. There's already plenty of places to watch TV shows and Movies. Obviously, I'm just speculating here, but they need to freshen it up that's for sure.

Raise the yearly subscription fee by say £20 and combine plus and Now is what I thought they’d do.

I think that raise in price will be a little too much, but I agree with Now being rolled into Plus. Been saying that for ages. It just seems like the logical thing to do at this point.
 
Right you’s geeks probably know better than me my memory is shocking low and I have to delete parts of games. So I want to play KOTOR and new Call of Duty, was wondering which is the best memory attachment to buy for PS5 that will actually work on the PS5?

You can just upgrade the internal SSD you just need to make sure it has the correct read and write speeds.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/WD_BLACK-Internal-Gaming-Technology-speeds/dp/B08KFS6THF/?tag=pushsquare-21

You can move stuff to an external drive but you cant play PS5 games off it will be to slow read and write speeds.

Reviews for Deathloop are looking pretty great. IGN gave it a 10.

Really?

Managed to snag a bundle from ShopTo yesterday that comes with Deathloop and Spider-Man MM. Looking forward to playing them!
 
I reckon I see Deathloop trailers in my dreams, it follows me everywhere I go, please let this game release so it can go the feck away.

I haven’t yet! Don’t need one at the moment and I’ll wait for them to come down in price.

Yeah just looking they’re pretty dear, the 2T fire cuda is nearly the price of a PS5 alone and not sure if it even has a heat sink.
