It's a racing game based on the Wacky Racers franchise but instead of driving your car you point and click on the track for movement and then roll dice to decide on the success of your overtaking or cornering.

EDIT: OMG I just discovered this exists as an actual board game. The deluxe edition even comes with fully detailed and painted models of the racers from the TV show.

@B0udoir

Unfortunately, no matter what the intent was when that punk band started, having all that corpo money slithering around makes selling out the preferred choice.

@riceNpea

Then let me rephrase my question. What is hyperbolic about any of the quotes from the press release? I see no exaggeration of the truth for dramatic effect, just some science fiction world-building that may or may not have anything to do with our present reality.

@riceNpea

What did you find hyperbolic in this trailer? I did not hear any kind of exaggeration of the truth for dramatic effect. All I heard
was a bunch of gameplay systems to be followed to win a video game.

I am not sure what is being discussed in this trailer that could be so upsetting to others. I did notice one thing, not one flat planet, is that it?

@Sequel

I love to hear about others' gaming habits. I want to throw rocks at those who come here and brag about DAY ONE on game pass or already played it on game pass like it's some sort of Gotcha for us lowly PS fans. But Nintendo is the GOAT and the Switch is the best console they have ever made and nobody will convince me otherwise.

To be fair...and correct me if I'm off base here...but do we consider video game YouTube channels to be The News? This channel makes money off views and subs and right now they are getting viewership based on someone else's intellectual property whether that information is accurate or not.

I know that doesn't sound much different than "legitimate" news sources but isn't there some kind of FCC paperwork or the like to be filed so that the source can be considered "actual" NEWS and then exempt from takedown notices? I don't know how this works, and information was lacking during my 10 min internet search, but I always figured that the BBC, CBC, or CNN needed to have a licence to print or broadcast the "News"

If this leak was picked up by MSNBC and reported as news would Sony be able to stop them from reporting on it? Does this have more to do with corporations vs citizens than it does with being an actual infringement on intellectual property?

Also, I'm not saying this is good or bad, I'm just putting out some thoughts as to why it would not be considered censorship or infringing on freedom of expression.

It would not surprise me to learn Sony leaked this themselves just to build hype. Now the take-down notice gets attention and fuels the speculation.

You know what they say "Mouthwords work better than ad copy"

From what I have seen in demos so far, I am interested in having a closer look at the combat. The hybrid of Hack'n'slash that evolves into turn-based looks unique to me and I would love a deeper dive into this system.

Does anyone know of another game that does this?

@__jamiie

I don't feel like you do. Playing the games would help to understand the in-jokes and easter eggs but the show does a good enough job of world-building that you will appreciate what Fallout is about.

I did not have the kid who played Rico Suave from Hanna Montana as my favourite Fallout character on this year's Bingo card.

@Intr1n5ic

I would guess that too. But as we all know stranger things have happened.

Princess Peach Showtime looks like a GOTY. AND the three Switch versions sold 28,190 more units than all the other systems combined.

Not making any kind of point other than Nintendo is still Ichiban in Japan

Will this extend to all the DLC that came out for this game or just the vanilla release? Far Harbor and Nuka-World were cool stories and all the "workshops" expanded the base building a lot.

I watched the first 2 episodes last night and I gotta say, we may have a banger on our hands. It has great production, likeable characters, and a wonderful MacGuffin setup. But for me, it's the world building. It feels like these characters are really living in this world.

MGSV ran at 60FPS in 2015 on the PS4. Now almost 10 years later this is still a fricken debate. 60 fps should be the normal expectation and 120 fps should be the upgrade.

@NEStalgia

I recently picked up Soul Hackers 2 for very little. Should I be ok to play it right after P3R or is it better to have a palette cleanser in between to avoid comparisons?

I plan to finish P3R, then play Soul Hackers 2, and then if done fast enough, play the next part of my ongoing playthrough of P5R, then SMTVV when it comes out in June for PS5 and play that all summer, then get ready for the release of Metaphor: ReFantazio (not an SMT game but...) then finish P5R. I also hope to have my P4G from LimitedRun soon but not sure when I am going to play that.

Sorry that is a lot of exposition on my gaming life that nobody needed to know.

I guess what I really want to know is what PS Vita games should I get to round out my SMT collection that can be played on a Playstation TV device?

@Swizzle

maybe more Switches sell because they have more games people want...

@Kraven @Jimmer-jammer @Ashina

Which Assassin's Creed game is best to compare Rise of Ronin to... it looks a lot like Origins with some ACII thrown in.

@NEStalgia

As a lifelong Nintendo fan, it still shocks me as much as it thrills me when they continue to, month after month, dominate the market with that #*@&ing Switch.

Princess Peach Showtime OUTSOLD THEM ALL...lol...

And Mario Kart still sold more than DD2...its a 40 year old game at this point...

I feel that gamer bros are saying they are buying this game for the combat to be quite amusing. They want the nudie hot girl game to succeed so badly to prove whatever point they are trying to prove they will forgive any of its potential shortcomings.

Does everyone know there isn't a photo mode at launch? Guess what they are probably going to add to any PAID DLC? Thats right...Upskirt Camera Mode.

Sounds like a job for PS Portal...not my friggin phone again.

@trev666

Last month it was that developers should not charge for new game+, now we need it at launch? Not many games have this feature at launch as most people will take a bit of time to play through it the first time.

@Amnesiac

It would be all Doctor Who iterations and Jeremy Clarkson...lol...

Oh ya...and Bond...James Bond

@GloriosaDaisy

Now Now...there is no need to be edgy...

The one thing I learned from this pole, Ellie has a last name...

Was ready for fan service but the soulsborne death stuff and the parry/dodge stuff just wasn’t my thing. Just wanted a good hack & slash.

Isn't there a new Fortnite kart racing game? How is that one? Any opinions?

@BeautifulCreatures

There have been so many contenders but none seem to be able to dethrone M*r*o and friends. I used to buy Nintendo systems just to play the new versions of that game. Nothing else comes close.

@thefourfoldroot1

I have always found it weird too, but this gen I have had 2 PS5 controllers. The white one that came with the system and a red one later when that colour came out. I used them interchangeably so I always had one charging. Well, wouldn't you know but the red one got stick drift on the left analogue stick. This blew my mind as it had never been an issue before. And for the NEWER one to be the problem. Nobody else uses my PS5 and I feel that I have used the white one more as I have had it longer. Anyway, I have no hard evidence to prove anything I just thought it was interesting.

@Loamy

I can't figure out how to block people...lol...

All the same people who say they don't want a Pro are going to be rushing to their local game store when GTA6 comes out and can only get 30fps on their launch PS5 and now they can't get one and those that did get one will be enjoying the game to the fullest.

Furthermore, we all know Rockstar doesn't release on PC for 2 years after the console so the best place to play GTA6, whenever it releases, is going to be on the PS5 PRO.

It will be interesting to see how well this post ages...lol...

@Czar_Khastik

...are you being genuine this time or...??

You are an enigma, and I am here for it...lol...

Gamers: Another multiplayer, live service shooter BOOO nobody wants that <insert developer name here>, go away with your stupid ideas.

Also Gamers: Bug Killing Game Good...Democracy for the Galaxy or some such nonsense.

/sigh/

If you don't want the bad ones don't buy the good ones either.

@Bingo-Bongo

I have been buying up any (non-sports) PS3 games I find at yard sales and thrift shops. If this happens it will be a MIRACLE.

Do I need this? - arguably no
Do I want this? - Ya, Kind of
Will this make my life better or worse? - Yes!
Will I sell my launch PS5? - Probably not as I will load the old one up with PS+ digital games and use it as my streaming hub and the upstairs TV's console.

I liken this to people who buy 8k TVs, the Pro Max iPhones, and all that fancy equipment to make espresso. Is any of it necessary? My answer: FN rights it is. It's all necessary, sell me all the things...ALL OF THEM.

This message has been brought to you by corporate greed.

(I'm still preordering it as soon as it is preorderable.)

AHHHH Yes. Another conversation with a bunch of spoiled gamer bros thinking they know what's "best for the brand".

We either get used to PC ports, microtransactions, and day one paid DLC as we could have $130 games instead.

Everyone that has "had it" with the PlayStation brand I want you to go to your local non-profit housing coop, orphanage or homeless shelter and look for a bunch of poor kids who look like they need some good in their life and hand everything over to them. Controllers, headphones, games, and all your plushies and other swag. All of it, every last thing. You can even post it on social media for the clout you so desire.

@Darude84

What kind of feeling is that (wink wink nudge nudge say not more)

@Coversnail

I think the headline is what is called "taking the piss". Try not to read things so literally, it's just a gaming website meant for entertainment.

@NEStalgia

LOL...if you are referring to the alien story it was kind of a stream-of-consciousness thing on 2 cups of coffee. However, it seems like we are getting closer and closer to living inside a computer and interacting with people who are not people. It'll be just another thing to placate the masses and keep us under control.

@FinneasGH

...and the "game" world will change based on how users interact with the AI algorithms. Are you Ready Player One? Or is it red or blue pill time? Soylent green is made of people!!!

Depending on which side of society you come from it's hard to tell if we are heading toward a utopia or a dystopia.

The ultra-rich already live in a Utopia from their perspective. All their needs are met and they can pursue their interests with little to no resistance. The only real problem they have is what to do with all of the rest of us poors. Solution: VR, AI, and sugary snacks so they can harvest all of our dopamine and serotonin to sell to the other galactic races. Bezos got the aliens hooked on our pleasure chemicals about a decade ago to keep them from taking over Amazon. Now they need a constant supply or they will take over the earth and create equality for all and get their serotonin and dopamine through exposure to billions of happy people with all their needs met. And everyone knows the rich don't want that.

or um, cool tech, could make games funner.

This game looks interesting but, the only game I hope releases on PS from an Xbox studio is Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.

Great! Now I have to buy one just as an EFFYU to the naysayers...

Thanks alot, PC Master Race. SMH

@LifeGirl

The prime market for consoles (let's be honest with ourselves here) are people who cannot afford a gaming PC.

The prime market for Consols ( and let's be honest with ourselves here) is people who don't want to worry about specs, drivers, or compatibility issues. It's not that we can't afford a gaming PC it's that we would rather not fart around all day not playing games. And to assume it's an affordability issue is kinda the reason console users think PC gamers are douch bags. Just sayin'...

In Canada, I pay 21.99/month, and yes I pay by the month (sorry not sorry). In my country though Premium is called "PS+ Beauty Eh!". 21.99 also happens to be what I pay when the spouse and I go out to McDonald's for a quick meal. I don't know what I'm trying to say here, but I know I get more enjoyment out of trying 10 or 15 different (good or bad) games each month, than I do from consuming a Big Mac.
