Should I care Damo? Any recommendations?
No idea to be honest. Pentiment is supposed to be fairly quick and an easy Platinum if that is your thing. The name for the Platinum sucks though. Outside of that Lambo said Sea of Thieves is good.
But when is lambs ever right?
HiFi rush good, rest very bad.
Any recommendations for a good racing game that can be played between 2 players offline (not online)?
Gran Turismo.
Rage Racer
Thought hi fi rush is meant to be really good?
Hi-Fi Rush 
Always wanted to play it!
Always wanted to play it!A plagues tales isn't for me, I feel the gameplay is horrific. It makes sure the perfect timing parts are a mile after a checkpoint, the movement is dogshit, Hugo is annoying as feck. Don't think I'll go back to it.
I hated it too. Wasn’t even a case of not being able to get into it. I just despised the controls, the AI, everything really. Weird cause I see it praised so often elsewhere.
Yeah that's why I gave it a go too, everyone else seemed to love it.
The setting is great tbf, it felt quite serene at the start, but it's just ridiculously outdated it seems, control schemes from the 90s.
Had an absolute wonderful moment in RoboCop 
Fun game.

Might be tempted by that!

There has to be a toxic wasteman and Boddicker dlc in the works.
An update on this issue. I did a few things like hold the power button longer and do the repair licences (?) option but the real issue seemingly was dust blocking the power supply vent inside the PS5. I periodically open the PS5 up and clean the fan and surrounding area a bit but the vent is further inside. It’s impossible to fully clean for a newbie like me) but I did manage to semi clean it using a bud and reaching in as much as I could. It hasn’t crashed since whereas earlier it was crashing every 20 mins on Ragnarok. Mind you, dust levels here are far higher.Mine turned itself off today randomly. Never had that before. Better not be packing in just as Rebirth is about to release.
I thought it was meant to leave its competitors in the dust

Extremely fun game, indeed. Hope these guys will get to make Judge Dredd or new Duke Nukem title, someday.
If only it had any
Been playing Inscryption. Really cool and unique game.
So hold up... RoboCop is good?
Been eyeing it on steam for a while..supposed to be quite cool.
Yeah it’s supposed to be good fun.
Didn't think I would like Ratchet but ended up doing plat.
PS Portal back in stock.
Anyone have it? How does it differ to using your phone/ iPad as remote play?

Picked up the burning shores DLC for Horizon: Forbidden West. This game is absolutely stunning played on 4k HDR QLED TV.
Its a weird move of them to go cartoony for this mmo thing they're making, absolutely ridiculous infact. The beauty of horizon is the graphics and worlds.

Erm ok I’m still playing it and this game is wild. If anyone plays it just go in blind.
After hearing great things about it, I started it a couple of months back. Act 1 was brilliant but I lost interest in Act 2 which was so dull in comparison. Will go back to it soon.
Yeah I think I was originally wow’d by how much depth it had but it definitely wasn’t as fun as the first part.
I've also just started playing Inscryption, after seeing everyone say how you should play it even if you don't like card games. Well, I don't like card games and so far, I'm not finding this enjoyable at all. Lies!
Put 43 hours into Infinite Wealth, although I spent the last 10-15 hours on the island building it up. Was hoping to finish it before Rebirth on Thursdsy but would need to put another 30 hours in by then at least, which is doable but not sure if I will.
Helldivers anyone?

Brutal. The gaming industry is in a terrible state at the moment. It's already an immense struggle to get AAA games developed, what's it going to look like in a couple of years when the effects of all these layoffs and closures are going to be felt?

Insomniac, Naughty Dog, Guerilla and Firesprite to all see layoffs. Playstation Studios London to close in it's entirety.
Shame.
The covid growth bubble continuing to burst (and some GAAS bubble bursting as well). I guess there was always going to be some correction over time but sucks for those affected.
Shareholder expectations need managing because there's still plenty of revenue and profit to be made sustainably even with hiring challenges and rising costs/development cycles. But there's so much focus on growth and operating profit it feels like studios will continue to be squeezed and with ai advancements there will be increased pressure and expectation on cutting cost.

Might be the end of Sony this
Quite a whirlwind week for the folks at the London studio. Hopefully those affected manage to land of their feet soon.
