@LifeGirl Prestiging doesn't start you with the worst weapons in the game. One of the most meta guns, the XM4, is unlocked straight away.

People enjoy going through the levelling process again and you get more bonuses than ever before for doing it in Black Ops 6.

@somnambulance It’s heavily rumoured that Doom Guy and Master Chief will be skins in Black Ops 6 at some point.

@NEStalgia Actually, they very much are for readers. These PS5 Pro articles aren’t setting the world on fire views-wise. We’re writing them because we’re a PlayStation-focused website covering a new PlayStation console launch.

For every person who complains about a PlayStation-focused website covering a new PlayStation console launch, we add another game to the list to write about.

@riceNpea Nah, luckily the story was incredible on day one.

@LavenderShroud That's 77.7 million PS5 games sold during the Q2 2024 preiod, not across the entire generation.

@CielloArc A very small pool of online fanboys doesn't represent an entire console community. Let's not make comments like this and be better.

@wildcat_kickz It should be day one, but Sony hasn't listed it for some reason.

@Luna-Harmony I'd personally swap over the SSD after you've done the Data Transfer of all your internal data, but I don't think it really matters.

@themightyant I have read this method is possible, yeah. I just haven't seen it in action yet so didn't want to commit to it in the guide.

@MxBcardi Yes it will work, the SSD won't need formatting when you insert it into the PS5 Pro.

@Loki7T1 My install is at 244GB for Call of Duty overall, but I do have some Modern Warfare 3 stuff and all of Warzone still on there.

@rjejr That would leave us with dead links that don't lead anywhere from social media posts, and we always try to direct readers to the most up to date information, particularly when it goes from rumour to official.

@Oram77 It also includes fixes and updates the base PS5 can use.

@rjejr The original article from this morning was redirected to this one with the latest information.

@Th3solution Yes it's on Game Pass too.

@Throb You lose access to them on PS Plus Extra and PS Plus Premium once they leave, there's no way around it.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah, the radio is still in the game and functions the same way.

@AlexPorto I played on normal and didn’t find the puzzles all that difficult, and I rarely died. The hard mode would definitely be the best option if you’re looking for more of a challenge.

@Hyena_socks There are a few manual save locations in each main area, but you also get 3 autosave that are replacing one another as you progress. I never lost more than a few minutes of progress when I died.

@Rich33 It's definitely not a locked 60fps on base PS5, but I found it to be a mostly smooth experience for the most part. Nothing has been said about a PS5 Pro just yet.

@BolkaRover I’d just play this straight away, the PS5 version is that original game plus quite a bit more.

Hey everyone, feel free to copy me in if you have any questions. I love this game!

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk @Orpheus79V PlayStation Blog confirms the free version given away during COVID will be included in the $10 upgrade offer.

@naruball The community response was why I don’t do Soapboxes anymore 😂

@Mostik Yeah I've changed it to "Demo" haha, "Game" probably insinuated a bit too much!

@Gravytrain I reviewed the game over the course of three days, every time playing roughly one to two hours, just so you know.

As I said in the review, I usually really like the story-focused Supermassive games, but this one just didn't land for me whatsoever. Maybe you'll enjoy it more than me, though! Feel free to copy me in for any questions.

@somnambulance Reviewers gain access at the same time as everyone else so there won't be any today, I'm afraid.

@Leon_93 @jrt87 Yes, it is typical, which is why it's quite strange to use that opening section as a vertical slice of the game for me to write about. As I said in the article, Metaphor: ReFantazio is shaping up to be one of the best games of the year, but if you want to demonstrate that, you don't give someone the very first hour full of tutorials and on-screen pop-ups, do you?

@TomasVrboda There wasn't any voice acting full stop in the demo I played. It was just text on the screen.

@Zeroo Other members of the team had their hands full already covering other games.

@Sequel Yes it is, Charles spoke of how his wife gave them the original recordings and they're being resorted in a better fashion for the Reforged version.

@CWill97 That's the point!

@Icey664 Yes, you can customise Kay's outfit, speeder, and the alien Nix.

@Vorflynn The PC stream was way below what we'll be playing on PS5. It'll look a lot better running natively.

@Jettstyles Most of the open world interactions and events I saw were discovered naturally, so it was based on me simply seeing something out that looked interesting and investigating it. Once I got there, it was usually marked on my map after the fact. I think a lot of it was scripted, but it's going to feel like a more natural occurrence in the moment than you simply highlighting a marker and going there in the knowledge something is there.

As for the wanted system, I only had it once and it was from a failed dialogue choice. I'm not sure how the whole system operates I'm afraid.

Hey everyone, if you have any questions about what I played, feel free to copy me in. I was already excited about Star Wars Outlaws, but this preview session made me confident it's going to be a great game.

@PerpetualBoredom The article does mention that a physical version is likely, but it hasn't been officially announced by Limited Run Games yet.

@riceNpea PS4 Pro was fully announced during the September event; it wasn't first at E3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hme5BhT52_U&ab_channel=PlayStation

@riceNpea I said "around TGS", not "at".

@Czar_Khastik Maybe you could have a lovely browse of our linked reviews?

@Decoy_Snake Certainly not this one. Dead Rising is amazing.

@AdamantiumPriest GameStation was elite; I fondly remember the 4 for £20 deals on PS2 games.

@Zeke68 There isn't actually! It's pure gameplay.

@Diowine An 8/10 on our review scale is “Great”. I also gave Elden Ring, the base game, a 9/10. I think we’re fans of FromSoftware! Not everything is a 10/10.

@Fiendish-Beaver I believe you gain early access to the beta if you pre-order, but there will be a time when it's open for everyone to download.

@Gremio108 @Bydlak While you can access it earlier, I really feel the DLC is pretty much end-game content. We were given level 150 characters to play with at the preview event and it was difficult.

@CJD87 Thanks! Yes, all the new items and weapons will be usable in the base game too. The only thing that won’t carry back is the new levelling mechanic, which is exclusive to the DLC area.

I can’t say for sure how it would affect matchmaking, but since everyone is still connecting to the same server, I would assume the game will act the same and let you matchmake with non-DLC owners, and vice versa.

@KundaliniRising333 FromSoftware has said the play space of the DLC is about the same size as Limgrave.

As for side dungeons, I can only speak for the opening area, but there was one location that was just a staircase down into a cave that housed an immediate boss fight. It looked just like some of those underground dungeons you'd see in the early base game.
