[Medicine Man]

Spider-Man and COD: WWII are the Plus games for next month apparently.

Watching the Last of Us 2 video reminded me of all the things I disliked about the first game.

[Alan]

Well that makes me really look forward to it!

Battlefront 2 for ps plus not Spiderman. I'm alright with these because I already own Spiderman and I'd rather play battlefront 2 without paying for it.

[Alan]

Play the single player. The writing is better than any of the new trilogy and it has one of the best characters in Starwars. The gameplay of the sp stuff isn’t great but the writing makes it fun.

[Rossell]

Will do Alan thanks. How does it stack up with Fallen Orders story?

[Alan]

Haven’t played that yet. Honestly I can’t remember that much about it other than being really surprised by it and loving Shriv

Posted this in the E3 thread, but I suppose its better suited here...

I'm expecting Thursday's PlayStation 5 event to be a strong showing for Sony, and to build on the recent momentum of interest already delivered by the PS5 DualSense controller reveal, the PS5 logo reveal and the Unreal Engine 5 playable demo," he told us.

I think you're sorely overestimating the excitement over revealing a logo that's identical to the last one.

I'm interested to see if they follow Microsoft's lead or go all in with actual gameplay. You'd think they'd go with the latter, but the common perception I'm seeing is that Microsoft has the edge in raw power and I think they'll be trying to dispel that - in which case they may want to be showing off the same style of in-engine unrepresentative stuff Microsoft did.

[Medicine Man]

I don't know about any of that, all I know is I expect the viewership numbers to be 'sick'.

[Alan]

They have to go gameplay after the backlash to MS. If they did tech they would just be reitterating a lot of what was in the Epic tech demo. Also, black controller

[DjchunKfunK]

They are going to want to show gameplay as it will be the first time people will be able to see what next gen games look like after Microsoft kind of dropped the ball. Although even then I'm not sure how much better true gameplay will look as most stuff is cross platform at the moment.

[Rossell]

The run up to both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X has been weird hasn't it?

[Raid]

Perhaps, but remember the launch of the XBox One? Remember that wonderful reveal conference where they talked about all of the wonderful TV features and how the Kinect was mandatory and you couldn't share games? Oh and there might be games for it, I dunno. Remember the heads of Playstation openly mocking their rivals just a day later?

[Alan]

Sony still had a personality back then.
