Looks great but impractical for actual use

I've played around six hours so far, personally I'm enjoying it quite a bit, definitely improves when it opens out with the exploration and quests after the first couple of hours. Not perfect but solid 8/10 for me.

Cyberpunk released December 2020
Scheduled to be actually finished first quarter 2022

Kratos the clear answer to the United cdm problem

Cool, great game, reminds me I should play through again on PS5 before Ragnarok comes out

Hobnobs

Hope this doesn't start a biscuit war, biscuit warriors will be taking to twitter to defend their favourite brand and point out the poor texture quality and flavour of rival biscuits

I like Far Cry so more Far Cry is ok I guess. Make the most of it though, next one will no doubt be a free to play battle royale.

Trailers haven't done a good job of selling the game, turns out they should have just said its like Mass Effect but with Guardians of the Galaxy because now I'm interested.

Daredevil! Santa Monica, Cory Barlog director, voiced by Charlie Cox, D'Onofrio Kingpin, make it happen Jim!

Will Insomniac Wolverine be set in the same universe as Insomniac Spider Man/Miles, could he in fact appear in Spider Man 2 I wonder?

With Wolverine probably 2024/25 no way they'll be releasing that on PS4...right?

By the way, highly likely to coincide with Disney bringing back the X-Men (presumably new Logan) into the MCU so wins all round for PlayStation.

@LiamCroft ok but keep daves brothers wifes friend out of this so there's no consequences. They've told me that games involving shooting will also be revealed, they mentioned something about haptics being discussed, their will be an emphasis on strong narrative content, probably something involving a historic setting with swordplay and horse riding! Never heard of anything called God of War so that won't be there.

A Last of Us Part II expansion featuring Tommy released with a Directors Cut does actually seem quite plausible although perhaps with a different name...

Well, my mate Dave brothers wife knows someone that met Jim Ryan and they've filled me in on what's happening tomorrow.

No spoilers, but there will be games shown, some of them will be open world third person story focused...I can say no more in case the source is revealed

Sony are a bit like Nintendo, they know people will pay. I am part of the 'problem' though. I'll buy the digital deluxe for £80. Being more expensive, perceived as something of a higher quality, its part of the current Playstation brand.

@logash yep, would have made more sense

After GT/GoW you've got to assume Sony will stop the PS4 versions. Then everything will be £70/£80 with stupid special editions. Still expensive but less confusing with the price differences and upgrade paths.

They can't offer a free upgrade as the PS4/PS5 versions are a different price. Otherwise you could just buy the PS4 version for £10 less and get the PS5 version. Really they should just make both versions cost the same and work on both systems.

Wow, Kojima is really playing the long game...starting to set this up even before he left Konami to secretly announce something in 2021

We've got Abandoned to talk about, what more could you ask for?

Kept you waiting, huh?

Kept you waiting, huh?

It will be 2022, that's what my sources told me anyway. By my sources I mean Herman Hulst when he said in an interview that its not certain, which means its out next year. Don't think Jeff Grubbs special insider sources are required for this one.

Trailer reveal Tuesday 10th August...I'm thinking we're looking the wrong direction here. This is actually Sony Santa Monica showing a God of War RAGNAROK trailer, all this Kojima talk is a red herring. Teaser on the 10th, will also announce a State of Play on Thursday 12th August! I have no facts or theories to support this in any way. Someone translate Hasan Kahraman to ancient Norse to see if it means Cory Barlog.

BLUE Box...BLUEpoint...they both have BLUE in the studio name. Boxes are sometimes made of METAL which is usually SOLID. Snake hides in BOXES! Some snakes are probably coloured BLUE maybe...This is clearly indicating a Blue Point remake of MGS, 100% confirmed. Somehow Norman Reedus and a rabbit are involved as well.

Wouldn't surprise me if Chinese investors like Tencent purchase western media and events companies such as ReedPop, start to control what news websites (Push Square) can report on and what goes on at PAX/EGX.

Tencent have stakes in almost all of the largest gaming companies now, owning some completely. Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, Epic, Riot, Paradox, Remedy, Platinum etc. Not sure how 'hands off' they actually are either with several reports of censorship and stopping free speech as the Chinese company gains more control.

Not saying I necessarily agree but would you get FIFA 13 (guessing the year) for free on PS4 if you owned the PS3 version?
I'd say Microsoft are setting expectations that other companies aren't obliged to follow.

So a small indie developer is getting a special app that you can preload from the PS sore ready for an announcement/trailer at a later date? After they had a trailer on a state of play which doesn't actually represent the game in any way? Whatever is going on with this game, its all highly suspicious.

Well if this is a way of linking smaller more immersive single player experiences within an online connected system of some kind that sounds ok. If the more likely outcome is some kind of shared Fortnite type game with people running around dressed as popular youtubers, wearing fluorescent fairy wings with jet packs flying around medieval Venice I'm out. Requiescat in pace.

Just looking at first party:
Holiday 2021/2022 - Horizon (PS4/PS5)
2022 - GoW (PS4/PS5)
2022 - GT (PS4/PS5)
That's all we know officially, not much to go on.
I'd rather they don't go back to revealing things four years away but give us something...its crumbs for the hungry at the moment. Even a little hint at the next true 1st party PS5 exclusive would be nice.

Saw there was a new State of Play, got excited then saw what it was about....sigh
Nothing against Deathloop but feel like we've seen plenty of that already.
It's time for a first party update Playstation! Even a little hint would be nice, little bit of Ragnarok, Horison release date, anything else coming out in 2022?

With the comments about Tsushima Directors Cut good to see that Nintendo can sell old Wii U games on Switch for full price and they stay in the charts for months. I'd expect them to be joined by the Wii Zelda game in a couple of weeks as well. Should say for disclosure I'm buying Skyward Sword so am part of the problem.

@Shepherd_Tallon @The_New_Butler
Thanks, reading these I'm probably too close when firing the return shots. Will have another go later. Looking at the rarity its second after the Plat so seems like a lot of players having the same issue.

Having great fun with R&C, playing on 60 fps RT mode. One trophy away from the Plat, the one where you return fire with the void shield hasn't popped for some reason.

Morning all, firstly I know reviews are a matter of opinion and everyone likes different things.....HOWEVER I have played this on Game Pass and its a complete mess. Terrible AI, bugs, just so many things wrong with it. Just be warned, watch the Skill Up/ACG reviews for a good summary.

This whole thing is really weird

I've not played Death Stranding so don't know if this means anything but Sam had a Dutch Flag on his backpack didn't he in the directors cut trailer? Reading the Push Square articles Blue Box are a Dutch studio, does this mean anything? The Death Stranding directors cut trailer itself being like Metal Gear was also odd.

E3 as a show is pointless, Microsoft and Nintendo had their events this week but they aren't connected to the E3 event except they were on the same time. MS and Nin could release their stuff whenever they like, in fact I'd think they would prefer to pick the dates themselves rather than some obligation to a specific week in June. Horizon state of play from a couple of weeks ago has over 6m views at the moment, nothing in E3 comes close to this. IF PlayStation have there own 'future of PS5' type event in July away from all the other stuff, everyone will be talking about them alone.

@get2sammyb Did you have access to the 60 fps modes for review or play through on 30fps?

On the subject of the Ubi broadcast wouldn't be surprised if some kind of 'Year 2' pass was revealed which includes the third expansion and extra content in 2022.

Feel like I'm a member of Valhalla anonymous, can't really disagree with most of the complaints but just can't quit it. Eivor roams around fighting people and travelling to glowing dots on the map, on repeat. Played about 70 odd hours now, the activity cards shows I've completed 20% of Eivors quest! Ratchet out this week which looks great, probably finish that and then go back to Valhalla ready for Paris.

Recently SoP gameplay reveals have been quite close to launch...
Maybe an August/September release date revealed and pre-order now for the super digital deluxe edition announcement?

Temper expectations...so assuming Ragnarok revealed and released 10th June then? And its free?

Anyone know if you need to be a minimum power level before you can travel to Ireland or reach a certain part of the main story? I'm about 170 at the moment, in Vinland.

This situation is very disappointing, looking forward to this for years. Played a bit on launch but quickly decided to leave it for a while and come back when patched, and that's on PS5. They do have a history for this though going all the way back to the original Witcher game, purchased that on PC and was a complete technical mess. They fixed with an upgraded edition about a year later.

Does come across as very dishonest, you'd assume the base PS4 version will have sold the most pre-orders but that's the version they spent the least time on optimizing? Concentrating on the much smaller group of high end PC and next gen users? Very dodgy.

One of the first thing I noticed was the lustrous hair on players. Some players likeness look a lot better than before. Still can't pronounce Bruno Fernandes though (Fernanj), Ole hasn't been modeled as never appears on touchline. Also, bubbles at West Ham home game looks like they've been ray traced.

Or Freedom Fighters!

Surely its the return of Mini Ninjas!

Playing on PS4 and finding it very buggy and glitchy, lots of little issues but nothing major so far. PS5 due Thursday (hopefully) so may delay playing until after Astro and Miles, hopefully be patched into a better state by then. Also in 60fps on PS5.
