Very excited about this game. So far for 2024 I’ve got Granblue Relink, Rise of the Ronin, FF Rebirth, Stellar Blade and Wolverine as day one games. I hope this means we see it this week if the state of play rumors are true

This is amazing

This looks like a fun indie game. I was initially turned off the first 10-15 seconds because it looked janky but it quickly grew on me. Will keep an eye on it.

Forza normally looks gorgeous in its open world setttint but I recently watched their latest gameplay video for their new sim game coming out next month and I honestly was not that impressed. I think as far as sims go GT7 looks and sounds better.

Update required 3-4 min database rebuild and came with an update for DualSense Edge. Love it. New profile UI is cool: Accolades removed and new section introduced ranking your games by most-played.

Current PS Plus stats per TrueTrophies:

• Saints Row #2 biggest Plus draw for 2023
• Battlefield 2042 is #1, beating CoD BLOPS

...it's clear that only one game has topped Volition's sandbox game in terms of active player count — Battlefield 2042. Comparing the two titles, we can see that Saints Row's PS Plus debut player count falls 23.64% short of Battlefield 2042.

That's not too surprising, given the meteoric more than 500% rise in active players Battlefield 2042 gained via PS Plus back in March 2023. Still, it's impressive that Saints Row managed to beat out the debut PS Plus player count for July 2023's Call of Duty Black Ops Cold War by 2.44% — the now-third-highest PS Plus debut of 2023.​

Sony has way too much in the oven. Time to show us a little something of what's been cooking, IMO. Everyone excited to see what the industry leader is up to besides patents and rumors on smell and temperature sensations coming to augment the already top-selling DualSense tech.

 

[Valhoven]

Anybody know a good back button attachment for the ps5 controller?

edge is too expensive and the extreme rate or whatever it's called is complicated to install.

What did you end up running with, bud? I know it's pricey but I can't recommend Edge enough. It's completely done away with my hand strain and is the best controller I've ever had. Built like a truck too.

Yeah I thought we were gonna have a state of play this week. Not looking that way anymore. I want an update on rise of the ronin and stellar blade. Also wondering whether Helldivers 2 wash pushed to 2024. Ideally a showcase would be better but I think if they had more to show they would have done so by now. I think it’s about time we learn what bluepoint and team asobi are up to

Dual Sense being able to update wirelessly is like my favorite quality of life improvement lol. Helps a lot when you have five of them.

I always wondered why it didn't do that already. Glad they finally did it.
