Also Godfall looked generic but with slightly better graphics. that trailer was **** and really didn't fit the game

GTA online is coming to Series X but not for 3 months after the PS5, I assume it’ll be free there too with Gold much like the PS5

the spiderman game for ps5 is a remaster with Miles story expansion

When I first saw the design I thought it was a joke, damn that thing is UGLY!!!

Demon's Souls Remake.

Doesn't look like one for the purists, with a Dark Souls 3 filter applied to everything instead of the distinctive Demon's Souls atmosphere.

I never played the original though, so still looking forward to it.

Definitely, the PS3 was poor as well but it was pretty unobtrusiveness. This one is running round screaming "look at me, look at me".

the ps5 is getting a new dash, good thing as while its not unusable as some claim, it needed a new design and its the ps3 just bolted on

The PS4 dash is terrible. As someone relatively new and who doesn't use it much I don't have a clue half the time

I'm finally considering a PS Now subscription given the low sale price.
Is there any reason to look at subs from other regions (game list, performance etc?). For context, I have a UK PSN account which is my primary but I live in the US.

I initiated the trial last night but haven't had a lot of time to experiment yet.
thanks in advance!

I think the US service has better selection as the recent UK additions were already on US service. for ps4 games its best to download the game

Thanks - good tip! I've been struggling to find a region-specific list of games but the news doesn't completely surprise me.

I expect it'll work much like buying a game with my US account today and any account on the console (like my UK primary one) can play it - right? I will need to test if something similar is possible using the streaming as I'm sure I'll eventually find a PS3 game that I want to have a blast on.

I know this wasn't aimed at me be I feel obliged to weigh in I think both dashboards have many flaws and collectively is probably the weakest dashboard family/generation I've ever seen.

I am probably more comfortable in the Xbox one just because I use it more but I think both dashboards could use a serious overhaul.

Regarding the Xbox dashboard, I can't help but feel like they've inherited the original concept (which had to allow for pinning apps etc) and rather than start again when that feature was deprecated, doubled down on the direction.

Ultimately, I don't tend to spend any more time in either dashboard than I have to but it's definitely a subject which many are understandably passionate about as it's a core component of the console identity.

Injustice gods among us ultimate edition on ps4 (first game is free at the moment) its also free on 360 as well

[Jabbitt]

I've been playing it with my young son. It looks like an enhanced PS3 game rather than PS4. Still, can't complain for free.

yeah its a remaster/upgrade port

[T4V]

Had my first go on Fall Guys and got knocked out second round, since then the servers seem to have died. They maybe back now but no one is playing yet...

I really enjoyed Until Dawn, their follow up Man of Medan is not very good, average is being kind. It was smaller budget game it seems but even so

I enjoyed Until Dawn too, but was unsure of this. Thankfully arriving on GamePass tomorrow so will take a look...

yeah, I saw the GP news, typical now it comes to GP!

It seems on all consoles versions it runs a bit crappy at points, use unreal 5 than the engine used for UD which was made for ps4 iirc

Tom Clancy Rainbow Six Seige is available for free (to play for 2 weeks) at the moment.
