Nice! I loved this on PS3. The battle system was quite hard, though.

Looks like there might be a bit of murder mystery to it. Maybe the killer takes the victims' eyes?

Anyway, this looks great. I'll definitely be keeping two eyes on this one. 😎

@RogerRoger I know it's a trilogy, but I think a trilogy of games about becoming the tomb raider is a bit played out. Even as a fan of the series going back to PSOne, I'm tired of these games. That's not to say I think it will be bad, I was merely pointing out why I think there isn't much enthusiasm around it this time.

@JoeBlogs I think it's just a bit tired at this point. It doesn't help that Square's tagline is "become the Tomb Raider", which is the same one it also used for the previous two entries. The game will likely be more of the same, which is fine for those that like the games, but it doesn't inspire a whole lot of enthusiasm otherwise.

"This one is way more about exploring and finding things that make life special.”

I don't understand how they can say this with a straight face. My memories of both the Tomb Raider reboot and Rise is repeatedly pressing R3 so that useless items show up on a greyscale screen. None of the items I've ever found in that game are things that make life "special."

For old time's sake, I'm interested. The original V-Rally was one of my favourite games on PSOne. But September is a no go. It's also one of those games that you just know will be half price within a couple of months.

@kyleforrester87 I liked MGS2, but I'll never forgive them for replacing Snake with Raiden for 3/4 of the game. And hearing Raiden and his girlfriend talk all soppy about when they started dating... ugh. Just the thought of it makes me feel a bit ill. 😂

@nessisonett Maybe. I'm not sure. I haven't heard any specifics about that yet.

@get2sammyb Hey now, stop flame-baiting! I think we all know that Persona 5 is one of the greatest video games ever made. 😆

@Rob_230 If you're interested in seeing him predict even more obvious stuff on a regular basis, he actually still has a show over at Siftd.net called Pachter Factor. It's basically the same as the old Pach Attack show from GameTrailers (Siftd is run by the former editor-in-chief of GT).

To be honest, I don't think there's any such thing as "going gold" anymore. Almost every game needs fixing after launch, and some of them change massively. Just look at No Man's Sky and Final Fantasy XV, for example.

Maybe they set the date realising they would need a good 4-6 weeks to iron out the kinks for launch day?

@Thrillho I think that was a long time ago. They use Sagepay now, as far as I'm aware. You can also use PayPal with ShopTo for extra security.

@naruball Yeah, I didn't mention ShopTo because I think they're prices have gone up quite a lot in the last 12 months or so. You're right, though, it's great they offer shipping within Europe at no extra cost, and they're service is also generally excellent.

Even with the £2 discount, Amazon is often more expensive than other retailers. People should check out The Game Collection, Base, and Simply Games - all offer an excellent service with most pre orders arriving early, and all are almost always cheaper than Amazon.

To this day, I've never actually played a game I received for free on PS Plus. I always buy the games I want, and I don't have the time to put in to anything else. Still, it's a nice lineup.

@Quintumply Yeah, I tried it early on and didn't like it either. I tried it again recently and... I still didn't like it. It's just not for me, I'm afraid.

@LieutenantFatman Yeah. Here's a tweet I saw the other day:

"Oh maaaan, I just want this Fractured But Whole plat now! So borrrrrred 😴"

I just don't understand why anyone would force their way through the process if it's that boring. Life is too short for nonsense like this. Of course, if people are enjoying it, then more power to them. But if it's a chore, why bother?

I think trophies are a scourge. It hurts when I see the pain people go through in order to attain them. I have the notifications turned off, trophies hidden, and I literally never look at them.

To be fair, Ubisoft are excellent at supporting their games post-launch, and I'm sure this will be no different. But if the game is this dull, it may just scare people away for good. I'm not sure this beta has done the game any favours, in all honesty.

I'm not personally bothered by this. I never used the online stuff anyway. As long as the gameplay is good (it's From Software, come on!), I'm happy.

@XurAgentofthe9 you're in for a treat.

@LobsterJohnson It's been on my to-read list for a while, but the recent Cyberpunk 2077 coverage has pulled it to the top of the list. Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check that one out.

@LobsterJohnson I always have a book nearby. It's what I do for the few hours before bed – it's also a nice way to get away from a screen! I'm reading Neuromancer right now. 😉

@ShogunRok I've honestly struggled with this for a while. I usually like to focus and play one thing at a time and give it all my attention, but games are so long these days that I get burnt out. I've been finding myself slogging through to the end just to finish them, which is a shame. Hopefully playing a couple of games and alternating between them will, as you say, keep it fresh for longer.

@David187 I'm not sure if Ninja Theory own the Enslaved IP, but it was published by Bandai Namco so it's more likely to be owned by them.

I would honestly love this. I tried PS Now a couple of months ago on a 7-day trial, but I hated it. The compression was hard to stomach and it made games look awful, especially if you sit quite close to the screen like I do. And that's with 100Mb fibre internet. Being able to download games with a decent library of PS4 titles would change this entirely.

@get2sammyb It is quite unnerving seeing Phil Spencer's face pop up when I'm scrolling through the comments. I think we're all paying the price. 😂

@get2sammyb I dunno, Sammy, a single day?

Depends how good this one is. Skate has pedigree, but this is an unknown quantity. I'm definitely wanting a good skateboarding game, though.

I'm honestly a bit disappointed with this trailer. I think the tone is all off, and the protagonist seems very run-of-the-mill. The voice over just seemed really generic, as well. "It's a city of dreams, and I'm a BIG dreamer." Oh, come on!

I hope I'm wrong about this. I was so excited to see this game, but I got a bit of a slap in the face from that trailer. I'm hoping it's just a one off and the game itself is great (God knows CD Projekt deserve the benefit of the doubt), but I'm not overly enthralled at this point.

I don't understand how this can be free. Surely it's just a first episode or something?

@Flaming_Kaiser No, I hadn't seen that one before, but it does look cool. Thanks for pointing it out.

This looks ridiculously cool!

I think this looks absolutely brilliant. In a sea of games that all look the same, this one well and truly stands out.

It's disappointing. I would really love another Skate game.

This looks very cool.

Wow, another Avalanche Studios game? I realise it must be different teams, but that's three major games on the trot: Rage 2, Generation Zero, and Just Cause 4.

I wonder why almost every game has to have guns.

I was quite critical of GT Sport when it came out, but credit where it's due, Polyphony and Sony are doing an amazing job supporting this game post-release. I'll definitely be jumping back into the cockpit soon to check out the new content.

Oh, hang on, what about Driver?!

"it sounds like there’s going to be a strong online component."

No! Please no?! I want to be 100% antisocial.

I would personally switch Final Fantasy 7 for 8 or 9 instead. I love all three, but 7 gets all the love, and you can already play it in a myriad of ways across PS4 and PS3. We still can't play 8 or 9 on PS4, though, and I would love to play through them again.

I would also add Croc or Gex 3D and Ridge Racer Type-4 or Rage Racer in here. Also, the original Colin Mcrae Rally was a big deal back on PSOne. I played it to death. In terms of its gameplay, it still holds up well today. I can see that making the cut! Otherwise this is a pretty solid list.

@get2sammyb What can I say, I'm a sucker for post-apocalyptic settings. 😎

@get2sammyb Whoa, hey! I really enjoyed RAGE. I'm up for another one!

Sounds exactly like my kind of game. "Add to Basket."

That does look rather lovely, doesn't it? Can't wait to play it.

I'm also looking forward to this. Nice that we're getting a demo to check it out nice and early, too.

I said I wouldn't be playing God of War this weekend, but I still ended up playing it. How does that happen? Anyway, I'm roughly 3 hours in, and so far I'm very impressed.

For anyone looking to order online, I can highly recommend The Game Collection, SimplyGames, and ShopTo for pre-orders. I've used all three for years, prices often cheaper than Amazon, and I'm yet to receive a single pre-order from any of them that hasn't come early or on day of release (must be early on 95% of occasions, though).

Wonderful! I'm looking forward to playing this one.
