@DrJames I don't own it but played a bit and watched a friend play through it, was very impressed. But that holds a lot more interest to me on a lot of levels. The setting, overall gameplay style etc.

The "Loop" gimmick here, the general tone, uber-fast twitchy gameplay etc are all just the opposite of what I look for in a shooter. Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of the genre though.

Fortnite isn't my kinda thing at all, but as others have said, their art team does great work, so fair play to them. All of those look great.

Glad people are excited, but honestly this does absolutely nothing for me. At all.

@Nepp67 A hundred times this. I bought a damn Wii U just to play the last one, and I'd happily do it again.

I was so, so hyped for this, but that demo was painful and I'm really not sure a patch can turn it around.

It looks good but personally even those environments look a little dull and samey, I'd like to see a little more variety and maybe a few more visual setpieces.

Absolutely adored this trilogy the first time around (even with the questionable ending to ME3) and I can't wait to play in 4k60 with HDR just for the nostalgia trip. Played them all on Xbox 360 originally so it'll be nice to add the platinums to my PS profile. Exciting! Anyone coming into this fresh is in for a treat.

Well, time to get that platinum!

Looks solid, so glad to finally see some proper gameplay. Looking forward to giving it a try.

Absolute monster of a lineup this month, bravo Sony! First time in a long time that I’ll be picking up all three titles.

I very nearly didn't pre-order a PS5 but the urge to play Demon's Souls was too much so I caved and managed to snag a pre-order in early October. Absolutely love it so I'm definitely feeling pretty lucky with the situation that there is now. Really hope everyone that wants one can get them for normal prices soon.

I really, really want to love this, but it doesn't sound all that promising here. Will give it a try and hope it improves for launch.

Ugh, really? Show us the game already. It’s getting ridiculous.

@Wolfie88 it’s hard to believe your comment isn’t satire. Wow.

Yeah, that's shockingly bad for Xbox Live on its own. But have to admit if I had an Xbox (which I expect to eventually) I'd be all over Game Pass, which is phenomenal value and easily makes up for it.

This is exactly the kind of trailer that puts me off this game. Not what I want to see.

Fantastic news, can't wait to try this! Very curious to see if the PS5 demo is actually the PS5 version or just the PS4 with some minor enhancements. Fingers crossed it's the former.

It's an awful situation. Sadly demand dictates this kind of thing so there must be idiots out there that are paying over the odds. Madness.

Wow, that’s quite a wait for the PS5 version. I won’t even consider picking it up until that point but hope that everyone that’s already got it can enjoy it a bit more with the new updates.

Could be cool, but it's a loooooong way off so it's hard to really care all that much at this stage.

Didn't expect a demo for this so that's very cool, but I think I'll pass and just wait for the full release. Don't want to spoil anything and I'd rather play it all in one go than wait a few weeks to see the rest. Loved the first game and can't wait to get stuck into this one.

Oh dear. This is vapourware until we hear otherwise as far as I’m concerned, after Deep Down I won’t be getting my hopes up.

I know it’s not much footage but that already has me more hopeful than the original trailer. Fingers crossed and looking forward to more.

Ridiculously tough choice, but in the end I went for The Last Guardian. My runners up would be Bloodborne, The Last of Us 2, Uncharted 4 and God of War.

Very torn currently. Destruction Derby-esque car action? Sweet, sign me up. Fortnite-esque "larger than life" characters? Yawn. Really need to see some basic gameplay footage without all the added pizazz and slowdown camera work.

@Jimmer-jammer That's my one complaint too. The gameplay looks fantastic but I'd hope for a little more variation in the environments, hopefully that's something that'll become more apparent when we see more of the game. Not a dealbreaker if not but it would make that high price a little less of a block.

@rachetmarvel Diversity is great I agree, didn't meant to suggest that it should look like GG. Just think this looks a little generic. Unless you're a big KoF fan I don't think it looks like anything exciting or new, and doesn't have as much artistic flair as its rivals.

I'm sure the gameplay won't disappoint but have to admit it looks a little lacklustre compared to Guilty Gear Strive.

Great trailer, haha. Haven't played Fall Guys a great deal TBH but I've been tempted to go back on PS5 to try it with higher frame rates.

I used cards once when a friend beat my time in an Astro Bot speed running level. But apart from that, I’ve completely ignored all these features so far. Might change eventually though as I get through more games.

The quality of games heading our way in the next year or two is frankly bonkers, more like the kind of thing you'd be expecting mid-cycle, IMO. What a start to the PS5 generation.

I went for Goodbye Volcano High, Ghostwire Tokyo and Disco Elysium, but this is a ridiculous list where picking just 3 is incredible difficult! Can’t wait for God of War, Horizon, Balan Wonderland, Mass Effect, Little Nightmares 2, Ratchet and Clank...too many!

I love every single tiny thing about this game already. Can't wait. Thanks for the interview!

Interesting reading the comments here - I ended up getting both Ghost of Tsushima and FF7R for Christmas and am figuring out which one to play after I finish Demon's Souls. So far I'm leaning towards FF7R but we'll see.

For me it's easily the best controller Sony have ever done. I've always liked the DualShock series but it's never been my favourite, and I've generally preferred the pads on rival consoles - big fan of the Xbox One and Switch Pro controllers, for example. But the DualSense is pretty much perfect and I absolutely love it.

Nice lineup this month, very happy with that. Not sure I'll get round to Greedfall but pretty sure I'll be giving the other two a go.

Relate a lot to this. I've put in probably around 1000 hours in Rocket League over the years but I just wasn't playing anything else I forced myself to uninstall it. Went back when I got my PS5 but quickly realized I was enjoying myself more playing new games, so it's gone again now and I'm working my way through the backlog. Might go back one day but trying to resist.

It's a spectacular remake. I started the Soulsborne series with Dark Souls and by the time I backtracked to Demon's Souls to see where it all began, it felt so cumbersome that I quickly bounced off it after the Tower Knight and went back to replay the other games instead, promising myself I'd come back to it one day. I didn't in the end and now I'm glad, because experiencing it this way is so much better. Just about to complete my first playthrough and I've really enjoyed. Maybe not as much as Dark Souls or Bloodborne as the boss fights are showing their age a little bit at times, but it looks absolutely spectacular and I'm already looking forward to my next build/playthrough.

Very much feeling this list. Trails of Cold Steel is the only one I haven't played so far but I think I'm gonna have to start with the first one and work my way up, which is gonna take quite a while!

I'd love to pick it up but I'd want to experience it in VR and I don't have my PS4 anymore, so I'm hoping that PS5 VR supports PS4 titles when it eventually arrives.

I think it says a lot about Astro's Playroom that, even as a pretty fanatical Soulsborne fan, I was putting off playing Demon's Souls to finish off finding all the collectibles and easter eggs. It's a joyful little game and I'd love to see much, much more of it.

I'd love for this to be really good, but not so sure. Fingers crossed.

I love pixel art and old school games, but this doesn't appeal to me much, unfortunately.

It's a fascinating, albeit ugly saga, that really brings into question the state of games development today. For all of its development time Cyberpunk 2077 has been the poster child for big, ambitious, AAA-heavyweights. Every delay saw countless games adjust their release schedules, every demo looked impossibly good, etc.

But they obviously reached a point where they just had to get the game out there, no matter what. But to me they've ended up as the poster child of the warnings you hear of AAA development being unsustainable. The answer to that is higher prices and/or longer development times, as we're seeing with Sony's first party efforts. If a game like Cyberpunk was polished enough from the off and lived up to all its lofty promises, I could totally see the justification for charging £60/70/whatever. But if we keep trying to cram in genre-defining experiences to the old way of doing things, you risk getting...gestures...this. And now we have disappointed fans and heartbroken devs that have put years of their lives and all that crunch time into making something they truly care about, only for it to crash and burn when it's out in the wild. It's a really sad tale and I hope CDPR can turn it around without demanding even more unreasonable working conditions of their employees.

God, the critics in here are so damn tedious. Have you really got nothing better to do than crap on a fun little end of year screenshot comp? Grow up.

Great work from all involved!

Crazy, crazy times. 2020 continues to surprise right to the death, and not in a good way. Can't imagine how tense the meetings between Sony and CDPR must have been. Oof.

I'd be amazed if we get the update before the summer, and I wouldn't even be that surprised if it was next Christmas.

Logically you'd think that the PS4 Pro would have been the new "base" PS4, but then you'd have a situation where Sony have two 4k consoles competing against each other. So I can totally see why they'd want to make the difference a little more distinct going forward. Want budget focused 1080p gaming with a huge library? PS4. Want 4K with all the bells and whistles? PS5. Anything else would muddy that proposal considerably.

Really like the look of this, very much into these kinds of games. Even if it isn't perfect it seems one to watch for a sale at the very least.

I was never brave enough to finish RE7 so I doubt I'll pick this up, but it looks absolutely fantastic. shudder
