Nice to see a console exclusive launch with a 60 fps mode as standard 😏

They had me until "Title will be supported post-release with a Drive Pass. This will be spread across four post-release seasons, each with new vehicles and themes" in a title charging $120, no thanks!

£16 for this new version is crazy it should be £5 at most as its ultimately a glorified mobile game. I don't think the previous version they sold on the store gets updated to the Ultimate Edition either as its been removed from the store. That said I did enjoy it on my Vita back in the day.

I do enjoy a release spread sheet these companies put out.

Gotham Knights currently has 345 players on Steam, Avengers has 123. Those are games with recognizable players for the casual superhero fans. Other than Harley Quinn the general person won't care about this game. I expect it to be DOA. Rocksteady have spent 8 years making this trash while Hogwarts, Elden Ring and Ragnorok are selling stupid numbers showing that players don't want this live service/battle pass infested rubbish.

@dschons where did you order from?

It's nice to see Slipstream getting some love. It's fantastic and seemed to slip under the radar when it came out.

I'm very very surprised they are still releasing content for this. As of writing there are 98 people playing on Steam with a 24 hour peak of 167. I know it's out on most formats but this must be a good indicator that this game is struggling with numbers.

I have played this on Steam and it's excellent. Well worth the low price they are charging. Highly recommended!

The good ole Sony couldn’t be more cunning or clever, depends how you see it.

They're all at it. Microsoft sold a console with Halo Infinite and included the £400 from the console in the Halo sales total value/has generated $xxx millions in the financial reports 😂

£70, 8 whole story missions and 30fps. Easy pass for me.

The annoying thing about this whole situation is that Microsoft is portraying Xbox as the scrappy upstart underdog and then using its other business revenue streams to fund the whole thing which have infinite money. Which is it? You're either the underdog or a mega corporation you can't be both.

@itsfoz They released Horizon: Forbidden West, Gran Tourismo 7 and The Last Of Us Part 1 with God Of War Ragnarök still to come and they acquired Bungie. Far from weak 😂

This would have been a perfect opportunity to put this onto the new higher PS+ tiers. Its a year old, massive update, console exclusive. Fantastic game!

Already pre-loaded and ready to go on Gamepass. Can't wait the first one was fantastic.

The fact that this was such a broken piece of crap at launch isn't even a free PS5 upgrade really is a joke. Will be avoiding Microid games in the future.

They can polish it up and patch it all they like but it still won't fix that it's a very average game (in my pinion).

So it's suddenly a good game now deserving of its Metacritic score? 😏

Making PS4 and PS5 versions of games different SKUs was a terrible decision on Sonys part. The method for it is so cumbersome I wish they had a system like Smart Delivery on my Xbox.

Welcome to gaming in 2022 when we know about the pre-order incentives before the game is even revealed. Season Pass content next 😂

Yay! Can't wait for it to be a massive open world where the maps is covered in fetch quest icons. Particularly looking forward to some sort of towers that Blade will have to climb to reveal said map 😏

Sony should have got this on the service as a Day 1 addition. These are the sort of games (low cost, high rating) that Gamepass has built its library on.

The PS Store has always been sloppy it isn't anything new. Back in the day EU game releases would never be up on time while the USA was always prompt. It would sometimes take days for mistakes to rectified. Whenever there is a showcase or presentation and they say "Game is available to download NOW" I know it wont be up on the EU store for upwards of 6 hours.

These are the sort of games Sony should be trying to get Day 1 on the new PS+. I believe its on Gamepass.

@Flaming_Kaiser It has nothing to do with being entitled. The developer has already profited from my PS+ version through Sony paying them to add it to the service, they are double dipping. The upgrade is free on Xbox Gamepass there is no reason for it not to be on PS5 too.

Things like this annoy me. The publisher has made the decision to not allow people who claimed it for "free" to upgrade as they want them to actually pay for the game. The thing is Sony paid them for the game to be on PS+ they didn't lose out. They want to have their cake and eat it too and double dip. Its just greed plain and simple. So fine, I wont play their game!

We are getting early access patches now smh. Gaming is going down the toilet. Just wait until its ready to release it finished

It still annoys me I can't use my Vita for remote play on PS5 like on my PS4. It was a great feature. Still hoping it gets added at some point but not optimisitic.

The Deluxe Edition is on sale on PS4 for £6 on the PSN Store. I got it yesterday ready for the free upgrade.

Honestly I think EA does more for the FIFA brand than FIFA realise. There is a generation of kids that probably don't even know what it represents outside of video games.

FIFA 2K24 anyone?

Could they not have come up with a snappier name though?

"Fancy a game of EA Sports FC?"

Doesen't really roll off the tongue like fancy some Fifa?

This was such a disappointment. The first Dying Light was awesome but this was very meh. I couldn't even face finishing it.

Will try this on Gamepass.
Hopefully Sony add EA Play to the new ultimate PS+ Tiers.

I had my eye on this for a while then realized it's £16 for what boils down to a port of a mobile game. It's on the Wishlist for a deep deep sale. The soundtrack sounds great from the gameplay videos i've seen.

Out of interest where did Babylon’s Fall chart?

Can't wait to try it, die a lot and not see 90% of what the game has to offer 😂

Imagine spending that much time developing a game that nearly three quarters of the players won't see 3 out of the 5 levels. I'm all for difficult games but whats the point if most people won't see your work.

Get them making Killzone please.

People complaining about Sonys monthly offering clearly haven't seen the trash Microsoft are giving away this month.

Broken Sword 5, Aerial Knight’s Never Yield, Hydrophobia and Band of Bugs

I own an Xbox and wont even redeem these.

@Salt_AU I have 10 hours in it so far. I'll probably play enough so I can try all the levels and then uninstall.

@PhhhCough Why wouldn't I mention it? Its a AAA franchise newest title going onto a service that lets you play it for "free" (I know its not free but you know what I mean)

Its how I (and i'd guess a lot of others) played it. I wouldn't have paid £40 for it.

I expect Extraction will exit the charts after this week and never be heard from again. Typical Gamepass game - average and forgettable.

To be honest all these studios are now Call Of Duty support studios anyway and I bet most of the talented developers have long since moved on.

You have to wonder how much money these developers actually get by going on Gamepass. This particular title has an all time peak of 64 players on Steam so Gamepass obviously eats into those sales as well.

I mean these games are good but they are £10-£15 games. There's no way to justify charging £25 + an expansion pass for this. I'll be waiting for a deep discount. Especially seeing as it seems EVERY game is coming out in February 😂

Another game on my wish list coming day one to Gamepass.
Sony really need to up there game, I haven't bought anything off the store in months.

When I was a small child it would keep me up on Christmas Eve thinking about which business models Santa would bring me.
