Looks like an ideal title for small children and casual gamers.

I can't remember the last Lego game that I've played (think it was Lego Harry Potter on the PS3), but they all suffer from simplistic game design and gameplay.

Again, I think these games are meant for young children, so I'm definitely not the target audience for it.

Nice to see a Sony IP in Lego form though.

That subheading made me

Well done PushSquare.

Most people's reaction to this:

Eat a bag of dicks scalpers!

In my territory, Sony's Distributor still has stock of disc-drives, but they're priced at a premium at around £136 / $170.

Still can't believe the PS5 Pro was built without a disc-drive...

I look forward to playing this on Friday nights with @Czar_Khastik's family

@Flaming_Kaiser

You raise a really good point.

I'm not sure what the copyright laws are when it comes to a piece of media, such as games, which is made up of elements that themselves are copyrightable.

Maybe the game is the only copyrightable element overall, and everything making up the game falls under the same broad copyright given to a game?

@nessisonett

Nice to find a comrade with a useless degree (mine's Law), hope things work out for you in the future.

I'm guessing you're relatively young (under 30) so time is on your side.

In my current studies, I was doing coding as my Elective Track, but I grew to hate it as my studies progressed. I dropped it quick last year and switched to something else (Accounting).

It cost me another year in the joint, but it's a sacrifice that will probably pay off.

@IamJT

You make a valid point, but these AI generated content have (or will) appeared within media that are copyright protected themselves.

Also, unless you're part of the development team or have insider-knowledge, it might be very difficult for a consumer to distinguish between content created organically (for the lack of a better word) from AI generated content.

Netflix, another junkie chasing that elusive (and purely fictional) AI-dominant game development dragon.

I'm quite sure, in the near future, some games will feature some sort of label saying Made by Humans or something to that effect.

I'm not against AI when it comes to game development, but it should be used as a supplementary tool for repetitive and/or monotonous tasks.

AI shouldn't be leveraged to replace actual developers to create games.

I love this genre of games, so I'm definitely getting this ASAP.

I still have my original CD (and the jewel case) of the game on PC...all the way back from 2000.

I thought about playing it on my current laptop...until I realised my laptop doesn't have a disc-drive.

I have fond memories of the game, and hope it plays really well on console.

Man, it's sad that these entitled "gamers" lack self-awareness and their moronic opinions are given attention.

Insomniac doesn't owe anyone Spider-Man 2 DLC.

@CrashBandicoat

Thank you for the post, I really appreciate it.

I'm out of the loop with this game (with most games in general to be honest), why is there hate against the actress that played Yennefer in Netflix's Witcher "adaptation"?

Also, what does SBI refer to?

Speaking of the PS5 Pro, it's just been announced in my territory, and pre-orders go live in about a month's time.

It will cost gamers here around £850 or $1 104 to get the PS5 Pro, without factoring in the cost of getting the Disc-Drive add-on as well.

@get2sammyb

Sony's finally getting that Live Service/GaaS on point... /s

I grew up reading the books, enjoyed the films so I consider myself a Pothead.

Hogwarts Legacy is a decent game...decent, not fantastic or excellent in my opinion.

The developers have built a great foundation with the game, and for a first attempt at this type of game for the IP, it's great.

I would never place it on the same level as something like Skyrim or The Witcher 3.

It was my first PS5 game, and the first 10 hours or so are really amazing. After that point though, I experienced a huge drop-off in enjoyment (the story is uninteresting, most of the side-quests are boring and there are no real consequences for your actions).

I stopped playing it around the 3rd Keeper Trial, and honestly, I don't think I'll get back to it.

This DLC will have be to on the level of The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine DLC for me to even have any interest in it.

My first ever console was the Sega Master System, with Alex Kidd as the pack-in game. Due to this, I'll always have a soft spot for Sega.

It's good to see them doing well. Hopefully Persona 6 will be announced soon.

I'm proud of Atlus.

They're normally nickeling-and-diming us Persona fans, but to get Microsoft/XBox to cough up and pay for exclusive marketing rights (which is kind of sad really,regardless if it's Sony or Microsoft, when you think about it) for multi-platform titles that will end up selling far higher numbers on PlayStation (and Switch) is a stroke of genius.

Ubisoft right now:

Just to clear up any confusion (reading the posts from @BrettAwesome), AC Origins was set in Africa, but I think Egypt, although geographically part of Africa, is mostly considered part of the Middle East.

Also, the main protagonist of AC Origins, Bayek , is not ethnically African/black but rather ancient Egyptian, who I think are classified as a Semetic group.

Sorry for being that guy, but as someone from Africa who isn't ethnically African myself, it's disingenuous to say AC Origins had an African/black protagonist

6/10... "Unacceptable" Said in the same tone & manner as Gustavo Fring

Looks really cool.

I was a fan of After Burner on the Sega Mega Drive, so I'll add this to the wishlist.

I'll pass on the PS5 Pro.

I felt like I was missing out last generation when the PS4 Pro was released whilst I had a PS4, so I got a PS4 Pro 2 years after release.

This time around, there's no FOMO and I'm more than happy with my PS5 (which I'm lucky to have to be honest, considering my circumstances).

This better be PSVR 2 compatible...

Totally unrelated thought: I wonder if I'll be able to play this using one hand with the PS5 Access Controller?

9/10. I had no clue about that Tale of something protagonist's name question.Silence down daughter.

So...this is all Phil Spencer's fault?

I knew it!

/s

Thanks for the reminder to add to the dislike counter on YouTube for this video /s

I already felt that the PS5 was overpriced (especially where I live), so there's absolutely no way in hell that I'm even considering getting the PS5 Pro.

Looks like it's PC Gaming for me in the future.

This is an even worse take than Sammy Barker's likening of Astro's Playroom to being a subtle form of GaaS/Live Service (just kidding Sammy, although we'll never let you forget it)

PushSquare, for your User Score Rating for your Reviews, it would be nice if you could add an option like NA - I haven't played it for those of us that haven't played the game under review.

It could give you data on the proportion of Users that read your Reviews but are assumed to have not purchased/played the game under Review.

@Anke

I agree with you.

PushSquare could maybe get someone from Traxion.GG to contribute to content (reviews etc) for racing/driving titles as Traxion is purely focused on this genre.

@Northern_munkey

Instead of shelving DriveClub, Sony should have used the IP to create their own competitor to Forza Horizon. DriveClub 2 could have been an open-world simcade racing game, set in some exotic locale.

DriveClub and Gran Turismo, as IPs, are perfectly capable of co-existing together.

I really feel for Evolution Studios. For some odd reason, Sony seemed to place so much hype on DriveClub around the PS4's release, and when DC was released, I think it didn't meet those (unrealistic) lofty expectations held by Sony.

This initially looked promising, but the technical issues (which will hopefully be patched in the future) and the always-online aspect of the game has dampened my interest in TDUSC.

It's been nearly 10 years since DriveClub was released, and its gameplay and graphics (especially the rain and wet weather effects) have aged like a fine wine.

Fairgame$ at the moment:

@InsaneWade

Dude, I'm just pointing this out as it's a bit hilarious and I assume English is your first language.

"Segway" and "Segue" are homonyms.

I still think it's better to think of Konami developers riding off into the sunset on Segways to start work on a MGS 4 remake.

@AfroMario

It's a PC Mod for Black Myth Wukong.

We can only dream of mods on the PS5...

This reeks of meddling by Phil the Liar. /s

It seems that while the Eye of Satya's gaze is firmly on Phil the Liar, more and more Xbox exclusives are making their way to PlayStation.

Really looking forward to Forza Motorsport and/or Horizon on the PS5 soon.

It's kind of sad that a major publisher like Sega has to partner up with another company to offer a physical release of a game that they're publishing (and developing).

Sign of the times I suppose.

Nothing against Concord and the developers behind the game, but it's kind of sad that TLoU Part 2's Factions died and we're getting Concord instead.

9/10 with a lot of guesses. The process of elimination served me well.

I'm not a Resident Evil fan, so that question got me. I knew it wasn't Wesker or Nemesis, so it was down to the remaining two choices.

Great feature PushSquare!

Great article. It's a great reminder for me to get back into Cat Quest 2 and either continue from where I was or restart the game (it's been 3 years since I put it down).

Looking to forward to the third game in the series!

I'm from a 3rd world country (sorry that's 'developing' country) with around 9 - 10 universities.

I'm amazed at the sheer number of universities in the USA and Canada and how insanely popular and competitive their college sports are.

Clearly a case of the crow calling the raven black by Phil the Liar here.

I remember the GTA IV DLC being exclusive to the Xbox 360 for around 18 months or so.

Phil, you really need to keep quiet most of the time.

Rather let people assume that you're a fool instead of confirming this assumption by making comments like this.

Imagine telling gamers 15 years ago that we'd be tuning into a Microsoft gaming showcase to see what Microsoft backed/developed/published games will be announced for PlayStation...

I'm really happy this is getting a physical release.

This will be my first pre-order in nearly 7 years (my last pre-order was the special edition of Gran Turismo Sport on the PS4).

I never watch any of these festivals by this shameless Kojima-Stan.

I'll glance through Push Square's Round Up article the next day and move on with my life.

Definitely getting this on release, it looks amazing.
