Dan Murphy: "Two of the biggest and best games this year have had horses play a pivotal role in how you traverse their expansive and beautiful worlds. There’s The Witcher 3’s petulant mare, Roach, and Metal Gear Solid V’s valiant stallion, D-Horse. But one question still remains: which horse is the best horse?
There’s only one way to find out..."
There are many 2025 gaming anniversaries to celebrate, including Life is Strange, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Super Mario Bros.
CG writes: In this video, we take Microsoft's Copilot for a spin and talk about gaming and AI influences, and the implications of that. We talked about a possible Metal Gear Solid V remaster, Deus Ex remaster, Hitman Blood-Money mission, and more. Imagine trying to talk gaming with non-gaming friends in real-life and after 5 seconds, they switch off and possibly yawn. Well, CoPilot isn't like that, instead it's like talking to a like-minded gaming fan who is totally on your level. The public version of CoPilot released in Feb 2023 and already it's become almost indistinguishable from a real person.
Embark on a legendary dark fantasy adventure, mix tech and monsters for thrilling hunts, build a community of woodland worshippers, compete in two-wheeled races and more with August’s PlayStation Plus Game Catalog lineup!
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Wild Hearts, Cult of the Lamb, Ride 5 and more titles are playable from August 20 for PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium members*.
We’re also announcing new classics – including the legendary TimeSplitters series – and PS VR2 game offerings coming to PlayStation Plus Premium
Replies(1)This is a great month for me, I have almost bought Wild Hearts a ton of times and same for Cult of the Lamb.
Some really good variety here, and some serious playtime on offer here with all the RPG's. Good luck finishing all these games in a month heh.
Time Splitters is fantastic on the classic side, and glad to see they keep supporting PSVR2 with games
Really grateful I had the good sense to drop pay to play multi-player. It's a rip off.
At least when you buy the basic PS+ tier you actually get new games often including AAA games.
This month PS+ got the Star Wars Skywalker Saga, Five Nights at Freddy's:: Security Breach, and Ender Lilies
Xbox hasn't gotten any new games for their basic tier since July and before that it was in August 2023. And if that wasn't bad enough the games they got were just recycled from game pass.
14 people downvoted and enjoy paying for something millions of pc gamers get for free. Lol.
They could have included the dlc for the Witcher 3 game of the year addition geez..
How many times do they want to keep putting WD2 on
PS+ 17 games this month unlike game pass which only offered 7 almost half of them I got years ago on PS+,.and the rest are indies from companies I haven't even heard of.
And the Sony Pictures movie collection will probably get updated with new movies and shows from Crunchy Roll too.
Not bad for a subscription that costs significantly less game pass even before they raised the prices.
Still not as good as it was a year ago. I think they're walking back on the quality of games just like XBGP is. It's a good thing though...ppl gotta start buying games again.
For me, the redeeming titles are the Time Splitters ones. Sadly i do not subscribe to premium, only extra.
Well you can still buy them. PS2 titles range from 5 (the clone wars) to 20 (tomb raider legend). So it may be a good price.
I'd bet these are in the expensive side. People have been wanting some kind of timesplitters remaster for a long time now.
I thought it was a pretty good month, then I saw time splitter. It made it so much better. I always wanted to play this game but never did
Not the best month for me other than timesplitters!! Can't wait to replay them again, be nice if they have trophies too but no danger of they don't, can't wait!
John Marstons Horse from Red dead is the winner by a long shot:)
Pooping Horse = Huge Win
The horse in MGSV is actually animated better, and more responsive to control that that in Red Dead.
Roach in the Witcher isn't much of a comparison, as the animations in that game are very limited. They do not connect very well with one another (the game has quite a small set of animations) so plenty of odd things happen in the game. Regularly when I get off the horse in the Witcher, Geralt will clamber off an invisible horse as the animation continues to play while sliding him forward with the momentum of when I first pressed to get down.

Although briefly used the horse in Uncharted 3 is quite nicely animated too. You don't have chance to build much of an attachment to it like D Horse or Roach though.
In Elder scrolls online you have to pay extra for a mount aside from the 60 bucks you paid to get the game. Thats BS
I only have these 2 games for my PS4. Can Roach be killed? I think so.
D Horse cannot, although I felt terrible on a mission last night with my MGS buddy. I set D Horse as a road block, and damn Commies flattened her, she whinnied in pain and ran. The mission was to kidnap a person but I very nearly went for revenge instead. What kind of person runs over a horse, and yet stops to beep their horn for a goat? Flamming Soviets, that's who.
Edit: Soviets, not Russians.
