Securing Intellectual Property is a necessary part of business, I get that, but what this really means in gaming is that a really cool idea gets locked away from a majority of gamers who don't buy into the patent holders platform.
I've heard that the Nemesis system in a Lord of the Rings game was really cool, but has it been seen anywhere else? The psychology tricks of Eternal Darkness? Imagine those in RE4? The ability to play Galaga while waiting for Ridge Racer to load is another example of ideas locked behind patents, and now that patent has expired, we have near instant loading via SSD's, so it's not relevant anymore.
Hopefully Sony do figure out the algorithm, but accessibility 'features' such as these should be shared across the industry, with the patent holder claiming the Kudos, and gamers become the real winners.
Nope, gambit system sucks. Turns the game into a simulation running scenarios with little to no input from the player once set up. May as well watch someone stream it on Twitch.
Break it down into three categories: 1) brand new PSVR2 content eg Call of the mountain 2) VR only content ported from other platforms or upgraded from PSVR1 3) upgraded PSVR2 modes/DLC eg GT7, RE8, NMS etc
1 would require a full game and VR2 review, 2 would require an update to an existing review if done, or full review if not, and 3 needs a small update.

Re: Poll: Will You Be Muting Your PS5's Beep?
Where's the 'set it to low immediately' option?
The beep has a purpose but FFS who thought it necessary for it to be so loud in in the first place?
