So... I bought the Ultimate Edition for nothing?
This. I'm on my second playthrough, and not far off the platinum. I thought Bloodborne was addictive, but this is something else entirely.
Anything with more Astrobot is fine by me! A full sequel would be an instant purchase though!
Cherish this time! I would love to wipe Bloodborne from my memory and experience it again from scratch. Unfortunately, you never quite get to experience that sense of Discovery again.
I did enjoy Sen's Fortress. You're right that the level design was superior and more complex. But I just found Dark Souls a little bland after falling in love with Bloodborne's atmosphere.
I'm a newcomer to the game, but I have to say I absolutely loved the Prison of Hope (3-1). I found the level of detail and sheer reliance on the environment to build up the narrative and backstory to be incredible.
So far, Demon's Souls has thoroughly impressed me with its variety in locations - something I feel Dark Souls didn't really manage to capture in the same way.

That is precisely why I didn't use the word 'good' but rather referred to 'value for money'.
Also, I don't consider 'inability to commit' to be a negative thing in this context. It's entirely a choice - I very much could commit, but choose not to, as I tend to enjoy tight narrative more than sprawling freedom.
There are different reasons why people play games - developers should exist that cat...
I have to say, I agree. I'm generally more likely to buy a game that is 18 hours long than a game that is 100 hours long, because I know that I'm likely going to get put off by the sheer length of the game and give up before I even reach the 18 hour point.
That is a very clumsy sentence, but essentially, I weirdly find that (for me) shorter games to be better value for money.
I agree with what you said regarding number 5.
Plus, with the speed you can easily load up a particular part of a game, it's hardly a problem. I was playing something the other day when I got a notification that someone had beaten one of my times on Astro. I was able to load up the level in Astro, beat their time and get back to my own game in around 2 minutes total.
And beyond that, I can't really imagine using the multiple game-suspending featur...
To me, it's not so much the haptics themselves (although they are impressive) but the sheer combination of the controller's features. Pulling a trigger, feeling the resistance, the controller shaking in a realistic way, plus the sound from the controller's speaker simultaneously gives a very immersive feel.
None of the features are hugely game changing on their own, but together they can really add to the feel of the moment.
Great game. So much better than the tech demo I was expecting. At this stage, I'd buy a file fledged sequel if they brought one out in a few years.
Totally agree. It's the first time I've actually wanted to display a console proudly. I honestly couldn't be happier with the way it looks
A fan remake of Timesplitters is in the works with the blessings of the original developers. And Crytek have said that they also plan to do something official with the franchise.
The Switch did a similar thing with one of the pieces of music from Kirby...
But it wasn't on this level! This is seriously impressive. Imagine if MGS got remade on PS5; the PsychoMantis fight would change from "I can move your controller" to "I can make your controller play the theme tune to this game!"
A lot of the Mass Effect DLC is fantastic. Some parts are actually the most memorable parts of the entire series.
Its great to know that this will be the full Mass Effect experience.
It is intriguing though... they mention in their tweet that "the biggest challenge for us right now is shipping the game on current-gen, next-gen and PC at the same time..."
Now, maybe that just means that they are working on making sure the game RUNS on PS5 and Series X (but that this will still be the current-gen version). But it's definitely not clear!
Very happy about this news. I don't play many online games, but was intrigued by this. And I wasn't really prepared to pay £70 for it!
Not only that, but you WANT content to be cut. It shows that there was an abundance of creativity and they selected the best to be in the game.
Completely agree. I played the series up until Syndicate and enjoyed them all other than AC3. But the first game was the best in terms of:
- Interesting assassination missions with multiple possible "free-form" approaches.
- A genuine feeling of dread while being chased.
- It's narrative connections between the modern day sections and the main historical gameplay.
Yeah, I was worried for a moment that they were going to upgrade people with the PS4 version and season pass to PS5. But it seems that is not the case.
