NoHope

Thanks for the review. I will definitely buy this one.

So he claims they are in learning process, yet they let the whole team, the same team that gathered a lot of experience in making a service game - go?

Sounds about right - did they also let the guy go that greenlit the whole thing or did he get a raise and flowers?

I was hoping for a bit higher sales numbers for Astro, yet it was predictable that the game did not sell all to well, given how quiet Sony was about it.

Maybe if it can wins a bunch GOTY awards, the sales will get better, it is a fantastic game, however in my opinion the pricetag is too high and it is a bit overrated - it's great but nowhere near the masterpiece people make it out to be.

Liams comparisons rarely make any sense to me, if you compare release titels (same timespan) with a game release for a much higher userbase, what exactly is the point of this?

What is even more shocking to me is, that the 3 games could not gather much higher sales by now. Maybe because they are on some PS+ tier, no clue.

Demon's Souls and Returnal are fantastic and also unique games.

Would love to try it out, however Sony was not yet able to provide us with disc drives for months. Keep up the good work.

Well, it certainly hurts me reading bs like that.

Picked up

Braid Anniversary 6,79 €
The Procession to Calvary 5,99 €
ExitMan Deluxe 0,99 €

I bet they will all look great on the glorious PS5Pro.

Missing the power consumption of both.

Played it shorty, sunk over 1200 hours in MHW / Iceborn. Not sure when or if I will buy the final product.

I did this way back when they introduced the tier system, but I was not as forward thinking as this guy. Used gift cards with 20% off and upgraded for 150 back then, I think, to the premium tier. Only bought it till 2027.

Now I feel stupid.

@Liam Croft

Why do you compare it to Zelda and Space Marine, they released way later that month, plus Zelda numbers do not include digital sales. Bad article.

@colonelkilgore

Such a great game back then, played it against my best friend for a very long time, later we switched to NHLPA. Good times.

Looks great, can not wait to play it.

Terrible article, break it down to a ratio and than we might have something. The way it is presented it is just useless. As others above me mentioned already, more PS5 owners in the UK now, then back when R&C was released.

This better comes with enhanced bxxbs physics on the PRO or I have to cancel my preorder.

From germany, I just ordered a normal PS5Pro, looks like they did a restock.

In theory it was a good idea with the lottery, however in reality Sony failed us again. Shocker? Not really

At 10.36 in germany, the normal Pro was sold out as well.

Cool, Ebay has some available. Starting at 2400 €.

Some people here did not had to wait at all, they posted pictures before 10 am and had one within 2 minutes after 10.

Anniversary edition is sold out in germany.

Lottery my behind, the timer jumps up and down, I was at 8 minutes, 26,32,13, now 56.

It is a huge step of progress for Sony to do some kind of lottery, maybe for the 40th anniversary, they can just let everyone interested sign up and then send a link to the winners of the lottery.

IT IS NOT ROCKET SIENCE SONY!!!!!!!!!11!! HATERAGE ^^

Preorder waiting list is online, sell should start at 10. Good luck and you´r welcome.

PRO Anni will be 1099€

Question, can PushSquare see the username that gave a vote?

Great announcement, I hope SP finds a way to make the game a little less repetitive.
I want to see more of the world and the graphics, Ghost was quite unique in that way.
Also, I am a dude and I like playing female characters.

Ps Ubisoft is weeping tonight.

I will never forget the first time I played Lunar SSS on my imported Sega CD.
Great game, loved the music and the graphics, will definitely buy the collection down the road.

This is the way. Lets hope I can snatch a PS5PRO to check it out.

Here is to some new games and maybe a showcase for PSSR - give us a PS4 / PS5 game and show us what PSSR is capable of.

Thanks again to Sony for a flawless learning curve, given the PS5 scalper debacle, the PS4 anniversary debacle and so on.

New Sony/Playstation slogan:

PS5 - get fvcked

Preorder starts at the same day as regular PS5PRO, well that should cause zero problems.

This will be another opportunity for Sony to show us the power of the PS5PRO, they dropped the ball on the first chance, so maybe they learned something.

Looking forward to it, I hope there will be an upgrade option.
Also a good pick for people who never played it before.

Would I like to see other titles remastered. For sure, just in case anyone missed it, I would drop everything for a SOCOM II multiplayer remake.

However we should not forget that new gamers come in and for them it’s great to be able to play the best version of this fantastic game.

Should Sony not rather try and pull their own ass out of their.....? Nnevermind.

Regarding Bungie and the laywer statements. One thing they definetly did not managed to accomplish was giving newcomers an easier entry point into Destiny 2.

Other than that, I still am disapointed in Bungie cutting paied content (or putting it in a vault).

They are a talented developer, they just need guidance and a better layed out roadmap.

Thanks for the review. I will grab this game in a sale and save every single soul possible, again ^^

Reading this gives me a vision of a future, in this future you can just click the option button on a game, a menu pulls up and there you get another option to click on, it is called update history and allas you can actually see the changes an update brought.

Well, maybe someday in the far future…….OH WAIT!

@Secryt

I understand you, however it was not the point or argument of our conversation. Some statistics are just useless in certain situations.
Of course Sony wants to push everyone to buy digital, they get a 30% cut of all purchases, unless they made a special deal with some publisher.

Also, comparing PC digital, to consoles digital does not add up. In the PC market you have different options to purchase via Steam, GoG, Epic store, key sellers snd so on, Sony does not give you the option.

On PC I can play a game from 40 years ago with little to non effort, try this with a PS3 game on PS5 and tell me how this works out.

@Secryt

Again, they take the whole revenue from the console market. That is the first factor that washes down the numbers. Many games are digital only, than there is a small thing call GTA shark cards, Fortnite whatever they name it(basically all the ingame digital only stuff). Factoring this in the whole digital is not logical.

As an example, GTA V made revenue around 7 Billion, most of it from micro transactions.

@Secryt

Thank you. So almost 50% is generated by mobile, means digital and only 28% from consoles, so the 95% digital in total is not a good statistic value to work with in this regard.

Finished the game yesterday and it was a blast. Lots of cool areas, some awesome ideas and great visuals. I wish I could have played more of the miniture/mouse levels.

I would give it something between 8 and 9, leaning more towards a 9.
For me there was basicly almost zero challenge in any of the levels and the "hidden" bots and secret stages were to easy to find. The game was also fairly short.

Giving this game more than a 9 would mean I had to ignore the existence of a game called Super Mario Galaxy and on top of that there is a Super Mario Odyssey.

For me, Astro Bot is nowhere near Odyssey.

I can not give my verdict yet. I own some of the games and the older ones, especially PS2, I am not familiar with. Will try them out.

Only thing I know, Far Cry 5 is in a sad state, I started it a few weeks ago and boy is it bug ridden and sluggish.

Today I started to invest in the PS5Pro, I ordered the vertical stand from Amazon, they gave me 5% off, I could not resist. It saved me 1,37€, which I will save towards the 918,99€ for what will represent the full, self assembled complete PS5Pro.

Consider me HYPED!

Playing and enjoying the hell out of it.

Played around 8 hours in total prepatch, no bugs or crashes occurred. Installed the patch earlier today, game crashed 2 times within the span of an hour. Unlucky I guess.

I reinstall the game right now and hope this will fix it.

@Secryt

The 95% is rather unspecific. Is it all media, is it PS5 only or all gaming? Does it include games bought on disc, that offer digital only add ons, cosmetics and so on?

I love this kind of statistics.

@hi_drnick

Absolutely, my verdict will most likely change, once I played through it completely. There are only small things bugging me right now. Major one is, that there is no challenge whatsoever right now, way to easy as of now. Anyone else got that feeling?

Something not related to my rating of the game, but has to do with AstroBot. It received an update today and since then, it crashed 2 times within the hour, before that not once.

Anyone here got the Welcome hub and if so, which region are you?

Sony should have tried a 49.99€ pricetag. I am in world 3, found everything on my own so far and it is a great game. Nowhere near the 95 on opencritic in my book, probably a 90.

I wish them good sales. Japan is hard to read, Switch still sells 70k units a week, that is crazy.

@Matroska

Cool, thank you. That is a useful feature, looking forward to it.

@Quintumply

I am confused, here it states welcome hub for US and in the other article about the welcome hub you state that it will get rolled out to all users over the next weeks. Which one is it?

I always find some smaller games in those sales.

Eternights
PowerSlave Exhumed
Summum Aeterna
We the revolution
Just Cause 3 XXL
Flooded

They all will look great on the new and shiny PS5PRO.

The patch will ""reduce crashes"? So there will still be crashes?

Man, it is amazing being a gamer in this day and age, always something to laugh about.
