Great to see your collection.
The PlayStation machines I have are PS2 Fat USA, PS2 Slim Japan, PS3 Slim, PS4 Slim, PS5 Fat, PSP 3000.
Used to be i have PS1 Fat machine but already modchipped to play pirated PS1 games, but after the machine was broken I stopped playing pirates games after I bought original Old 3DS XL in November 2013.
I still haven't get PS VITA due to almost every PS VITA here in Indonesia are already got modded with Henkaku CFW so to find the OFW machine is really almost impossible.
Also, the games library of PS VITA is really terrible in my opinion compared with PSP and 3DS due to very fewer choice of 3rd party kids games I can choose. But, if I can get PS VITA OFW machine, I can start to get PS VITA games as well but I don't expect I can get until at least 12 PS VITA kids games.

@Anti-Matter
I hope you can find an unmodded Vita and I am glad you decided against pirated games.

Turning on the PS5 yesterday and be met with the old PS1 boot sequence was pretty special.

With Lyin' Jim Ryan out of the chair it seems as though the new Playstation leadership is aiming towards being a little more...human? The trailer for the 30th Anniversary is great. Love how it ends with Bloodborne as the last footage grab. Hinting towards something, perhaps?

@NeonPizza

Eh, it really depends on the game.

Some developers actually utilize music from the game while you hover over the icon in the dashboard.

Dead Space remake goes kind of hard.

@Anti-Matter i do!

@Anti-Matter you know you can delete henkaku CFW off of PS Vitas, right?

Woot! Cleared Astro Bot tonight (including the true final challenge level).

Absolutely lovely experience, and I love how deep cut some of it's gaming references go. While it takes the form of a Mario esque platformer, I really think PS has found their "Smash" in terms of it's spirit. I loved the end world levels that played homage to other gaming franchises, and maybe in a sequel they could do more of those.

@RR529 Astro is a great game right? My personal GOTY remains Balatro... but I kind of hope that Astro gets the award, and perhaps leads to somewhat of a renaissance for really solid 3D platformers.

Sony have had such a strange year, with catastrophic misses (Concord...) but also some brilliant efforts (Astro).

I've only played a few hrs of Astro, but it reminded me of being 11yrs old and playing Mario 64 for the first time

@RR529
Yep Astro Bot is great and you can feel the love for the different franchises. I am glad you like it. It is my GOTY.

The Ape Escape level is cool. I never played one of the games but I would love to play a new one.

Edit: No I think Visions of Mana is my GOTY. It is hard to decide.

@CJD87, @Jhena, yeah, I think FFVII Rebirth may be my personal GOTY, but I certainly won't be upset if Astro Bot wins it.

@RR529
True, besides, having played games I consider GOTY is more than enough for me. Everyone can choose their own GOTY.

Yooosh...!
I got my mood back to enjoy my THE SIMS 4 PS4 on my PS5 machine.
Talking about designing the house / buildings in The Sims 4, it could take several hours just to build one building from scratch.
Sometimes I stuck on my old style building from The Sims 1 style by making the house very very basic.
Making very creative house is not an easy job.

So cool! They released a console edition of Planet Zoo. I need to find time to play it. It has really great vibes and so many customization options.

Bloomberg reporting Sony cancelling two more live service games.

...awesome...?

I took photos of my PS4 and PS5 collections. As you can see, they are not that big Especially the PS5.

@Zuljaras Nice! But where is Returnal...??

@CJD87 I have watched videos and reviews, for now it does not click with me.

@Zuljaras really surprising to hear, as your collection intimates you like Souls/challenging games alongside 3rd person… have you actually given it a try? Genuinely to this day I still believe it’s the finest PS5 title out there. I like a lot of the same games as you btw!

@CJD87 It does not look like a souls title to me, really. I have not played it as that would mean buying it.

Most games are 3rd person but if I have the option I will play first person. For example I will never play Resident Evil Village in 3rd person.

@Zuljaras ah fair enough

Definitely isn’t a ‘souls’ like title…. I moreso made the comparison due to the perceived difficulty, and your library suggesting that challenge was/is a key factor you enjoy!

No worries
