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

@get2sammyb Great review, Sammy. It must be good to get a 10 from you! Do you need to have to played the previous games to fully understand the story?

@R1spam If you like first-person shooters, yes. It's one of the best FPS campaigns I've played on PS4. Well worth £9.

You know, £10.49 for No Man's Sky in its current state, not to mention the upcoming content, is a really good deal.

It's way too crowded, and made even worse by the recent announcement that Divinity Original Sin 2 is coming out just a few weeks earlier in August, as well – and that one's a good 70+ hour game. Even as a big Dragon Quest fan, and as someone who has played every Tomb Raider game ever made, I will probably be leaving both of them until 2019 at this rate. It's going to be impossible to keep up. I'm going to have to prioritise: Divinity in August and Spider-Man in September.

Great news. My girlfriend is currently playing it on PC, and I've been looking over enviously for weeks. Can't wait to play this. Mind you, it's going to be a hell of a race to get this finished before Dragon Quest XI and Spider-Man come out. Ay-ay-ay.

@Jaz007 Yeah, I like games that are around 13-20 hours in this genre. The thing is, a lot of this stuff may be optional side quests, but I find it hard to skip past them so they don't feel optional.

@SoulChimera bazinga!

This looks really nice.

Wow, that's pretty awesome. I'll be trying this out when I get home.

Looks like it has a lot of potential. I just really want to see what the environments are like.

I'm also feeling some serious Final Fantasy XV vibes - both in how the combat looks and in the UI.

With this concept, visual style, and the writing of Oxenfree, it's bound to be good. Can't wait to see more.

I wouldn't mind playing this again in VR. Otherwise I'm not overly bothered.

I've been waiting for this to come to PS4 for years, but after playing Origins, I can't see myself going back to the gameplay style of the older games. I had a go on Black Flag just the other day and was surprised at how dated it feels. We needed this sooner, really.

@ShogunRok Great review. I know what's on my WAYP this weekend. 😏

@Octane Yeah, I agree actually. I much prefer a predetermined character. I think we're in the minority, though.

I'm glad they're mixing up combat with something new. One of the great things about Final Fantasy is how they alter things with each title, it keeps things fresh. I wasn't a huge fan of the combat in the original; it was the characters, writing, story, and environments that made it special to me. If they keep that same level of charm and mix up the combat, I'm a very happy bunny.

We're getting so much Yakuza right now I'm struggling to keep up. It's great to see the series finally getting the recognition it deserves, though.

I love a good walking simulator.

I wonder if they've added the basic functionality of logging out? My old Spotify account was made using my Facebook account, but when I deleted my FB page, my Spotify account remained on PlayStation. I can't log out and sign in with my new Spotify account. It's very annoying.

Woop Woop!

I loved V-Rally when I was a kid. Got a flash of nostalgia when I saw that the series is coming back.

@get2sammyb 😂 can't argue with that.

Bloodborne is a wonderful game; It’s easily one of my favourites from this generation. I’d only played Demon’s Souls before it and I never got on with that, but Bloodborne reeled me in like nothing else.

Knack 2 for £15.99?!

Crazy numbers for a Monster Hunter game. Big congratulations to Capcom for such a solid release. I feel like I'm missing out by not really liking it very much, personally. I'm clearly in the minority.

Oh dear

@Flaming_Kaiser It would be a lot better if there wasn't any combat. It's not a terrible game, it's just that it doesn't make a very good action-adventure game. If they replaced all the combat with much better puzzles, this could have been really good.

Some good deals here. I might pick up Steep and Watch Dogs 2.

Wow! It’s so good I already have both of the big games 😅

Still, what a month!

This sounds great. Nice to see developer developers up with other ways of making VR games that isn't first-person.

I am tempted to give this game another go. Props to Polyphony for releasing plenty of free post-launch content.

@get2sammyb Agreed. It’s a great game, and it’s exactly the kind of title I’ve been waiting for on PS4. Can’t wait to dip in again.

Definitely up for playing this again – especially in 4K 60fps!

I really miss MotorStorm, so I can't wait for this. It looks like just the kind of racer I've been waiting for on PS4.

@Gamer83 Resident Evil VII is terrifying in VR; I lasted all of 15 minutes, and nothing happened for the first 10. It really is a great demo of the power of VR, though. It's incredibly immersive.

@ShogunRok “That first session was like sneezing and farting at the same time — you don't really want to go through it again, but you're still kind of curious as to what the hell just happened.”

😂 What an image!

@ellsworth004 Yeah, it looks that way. It's pretty bad. No wonder they felt the need to put out a "thank you" video. 😂

Edit: When Square Enix first announced the Royal Pack's individual price, they said $19.99. It looks like they've since receded and the price is now unconfirmed.

@Feena The extra content that's coming to the Royal Edition can be purchased separately for $19.99. Not sure on the price in GBP off the top of my head.

There's a bit more info here:

Everything I've seen about this game looks fantastic. I can't wait to play it.

@get2sammyb Yeah, I really miss it as well. Where I grew up in rural Wales, my dad and I used to have to get a 45-minute bus to the nearest town. There we had an indie game store called ACME Computer Games, and it was fantastic. A long, narrow, smoky hole of a place with games that littered the walls along both sides. We were on a first name basis with the owner, and he used to let us try games out in the store, or even take them home and pay later. It was wonderful.

This was before GAME or Gamestation showed up, but as soon as they did, ACME closed down – they just couldn't compete with the prices. But I'll never forget that game store.

Right next door there was a gallery where my dad used to sell his paintings (he's an artist). We used to go in there to see if he'd made any sales, and if he had, we'd pop over to ACME to get a game. And then we'd take it in turns unwrapping the cellophane; you just couldn't beat the smell and look of the untainted case. I would read the manual all the way home; the excitement was unbelievable. I honestly don't feel that anymore – not in the same way.

Great article, by the way. Got me reminiscing about the good times! 😁

Sounds very good indeed. Can't wait to give this one a go!

@SuperSilverback I didn't like it as much as the original either. I don't think it's "garbage", but it's definitely inferior. I didn't like that they changed the soundtrack, it lost some of its atmosphere. I also didn't like some of the voice changes they made, or the Gamecube controller, amid other things.

Maybe we should badger Bluepoint to do a Metal Gear Solid remake, like they've just done with Shadow of the Colossus? 😉

@viciousarcanum True, but as unfortunate as it is, more people know the Hunger Games. But you're right, Battle Royale came first (and is infinitely superior).

@RogerRoger Definitely not just you. We're all in this together 😂

@Rudy_Manchego Yeah, so do I. This is a serious condition that deserves a name!

I've had my eye on this one for a while. I always enjoy Dontnod's games – even Remember Me on PS3, which was very underrated.

@Rudy_Manchego I do this all the time. It's almost become a mini game in itself as I frantically try to find a new show that piques my interest while my food sits there getting cold. It's completely ridiculous. 🤣

@dark_knightmare2 True. It's a tragedy that they make some of the best villains in videogames only to not really use them.

@Kidfried Min was a wonderful villain, but he was tragically underused.
