I love Super Mario Galaxy, but this game blows all the other Mario 3D games to bits.
Astrobot have raised the bar for 3D platformers.
I really hope this is a huge seller.
We need more FUN games like this from Sony.

"Some slowdowns"?
In performance mode, the framerate mostly
stays in the 40:s, during actionscenes, outside of the VRR range...

Another game, that will benefit, from the Pro model.

The Graphics mode is locked 30 though.

What a glorious day.
Let's hope that Sony cancels their future Live Service games, and focus on what they are good at. Single player games.

I got my copy today.
Only played for an hour, but SPOILERS this is already my GOTY.
After a very stressful summer, this is exactly what I needed

I hope this sells well now, so we get more games like this from SONY.

"Great", even more trash from Blizzard...

Screw the developers. They've been very toxic to people. They should listen to the criticism, so they can improve/change the things people don't like, instead of calling people hacks.

If workers built a house, and the end result is a terrible unstable mess, then we should have all the rights, to tell them so.
Stop pampering developers of bad games.

Power Stone 3, please.

Used to be a Star Wars fan, until Disney butchered the franchise. The game looked promising, when they revealed it. But as with all modern Star Wars, it ends up being *****.

If you're stupid enough, to pay $110, to play a Ubisoft game three days earlier, then this is what you deserve.

Modern Star Wars and Ubisoft, I expected nothing more, than mediocre, and that's what we got.

Raising the price of the PSVR2 sure ain't the best idea. 😂

No it can't be saved.
Can we just bury this game now?
Just let it go Sammy...

PureXbox, gave it an 8.

I'll "rent" it on Ubisoft+.
After what I've seen so far, I'm keeping my expectations very low.

I'll get it. if Pro patches means even more games running in 120fps, and Sony's own upscaling, is better than FSR.
UE5 titles, like Wukong, would benefit from better hardware, as we're back to 1080p, when playing in performance mode.
And OG PS5, already shows signs of dropping frames in other games as well. Armored Core 6, drops to 40fps, during intense battles, even in performance mode. Which is outside of the VRR range. And talking about VRR, I hope the Pro, widens that range, down to at least 40 fps.

They spent 8 years making this?!?!
If someone put "make generic multiplayer shooter" in a AI machine, this would be the result.
The market is already oversaturated with this crap, so it isn't exactly surprising the game is a flop.
Sony could have put the money on new Killzone or Resistance games instead, with multiplayer options.

Can't wait to see how it runs on the Pro, in the near future.
Since Quality mode, is unlocked as well, maybe it can get closer to 60 on the Pro. Or at least above 48fps, to stay within the VRR window.

@nitram2k11 When it comes to exclusives, it is.

Why the hell was my post deleted, as trolling/baiting?
It's an opinion. Stop censoring posts, you don't agree with.
It's called free speech.
I'll bet this will be deleted as well...

@Shakybeeves
Go with performance. The other two modes stutters like crazy.

I'm so glad that eastern developed games, are delivering the goods, now when western games, are just getting worse and worse.

Performance mode, is pretty low in resolution, and drops into the 40:s, during intense moments. But mostly seems to stick around 50-60, with some stutters. Still a lot smoother, compared to the quality mode, which looks amazing, but feels like it runs in 20fps, in comparison.

I bet the PS5 Pro will do wonders to this game.

$250?!
These collectors editions are getting stupid expensive. If people only knew how cheap it is to make all that tat today.

@KillerBoy
Just like the original then?

Looking forward to it.
I just couldn't get into the original, due to the clunky controls and combat.

Wait for the Pro, by then the game will probably have gotten some patches (incl a Pro patch), and is sold at a lower price.

I never get hyped about these events anymore.
And I can't stand Geoff, so I'll just read about the announcements afterwards, as usual.

Looks good to me.
The facial animations looks better than a LOT of other games, coming out these days.
Take a look at Starfield, Dragons Dogma 2 etc for bad animations.

This game, feels like it was made by a guy, who wrote "make generic MP shooter" into the AI, and pressed enter.

Vampire Survivor and Dead Cells, with the Castlevania DLC.

Sure, and lets put in enough bloat in there, to make it another trilogy 😂

Seriously though, as a comment mentioned above, I would also rather have a Parasite Eve remake. Or some other classic from the PS1 generation.

The less AC games we get, each generation, the better. How are people not burned out yet??

I'm so glad I'm not part of the FOMO crowd.
Every time something Limited is released, the scalpers go for instant kill.

It's a cool looking controller, but I'm fine with my Midnight Black.
Not worth the stress hunting for this stuff.

I couldn't even finish the trailer...
Always found Borderlands "comedy" to be more annoying, than funny.

Am I the only one, who is getting tired of all the particle FX in modern games? It's getting so over the top, at times, that you can barely see your own character. Everything just becomes a blur, while you button mash, and hope for the best.

Worst case was in FFXVI.
And I have seen some heavy moments in Wukong gameplay as well.
I don't suffer from epilepsy, but it might be my almost 50 year old eyes, that can't handle the most intense mayhem anymore.

Hope it's better than the first game, which felt like a bad Gears of War clone, with mediocre level layout. Got bored with that one, after only two hours.

@MrMagic
Yeah, I meant proper PS5 exclusives, games not available on any other console. Stuff like Returnal, R&C Rift Apart, Demon Souls remake, etc.

It's still shocking, how few native PS5 exclusives, we got, this far into the generation. If this problem continues (might get worse) next gen, then I would probably wait with picking up a PS6, until half the gen has passed.
Sony: "We believe in generations", yeah right...

Great, can we get Gradius VI and Axelay 2 next?

Gonna play it on Ubisoft+ on PC.
Their games are not worth buying, as I only play them once.
And I don't have any high hopes for this one anyways.

Those clunky 32 bit platformers haven't aged very well. Especially the controls.
I never played it, when it was new, otherwise I would probably be able to put the nostalgia goggles on, and get more enjoyment out of it 😁

Nice spoiler screenshot, in the article 😂

I'm so glad I can just get a month of Ubisoft+, on PC, instead of buying the game. If it's actually good, then I can keep the save and buy it on sale. I just don't want to risk paying full price for this one. Been burned too many times by Ubisoft, so I rather "rent" the game first.

I watched 10 seconds. I don't want to spoil the fun.

@Wolfgar

Yeah, I feel the same.
The lack of innovation, game developers playing it safe, using the same tired old formulas over and over again, have made modern gaming extremely boring. And this goes for both Indie and AAA.

I miss the 80:s and 90:s, when every year brought us something new and original. Checking out the arcades, for the new breakthroughs in gameplay and graphics. And console generations, that took huge leaps in hardware and innovation.

VR didn't manage to shake things up either, due to most games being mediocre and shallow experiences.

The PS3/360 generation, was the last one, that (too me) was still truly fun. But the crap that would plague future generations, sadly began during the last years, of that one.

I'm just tired of basically 99% of all new hack n slash games, being souls-like.

Doesn't help that most of them looks the same.
You could take screenshots from 5 games, and it still looks like it's part of the same one.

Sekiro is probably the only one I enjoyed.

YS X, Visions of Mana, and of course: Astrobot!

We had a couple of brutal heatwaves, over here in Sweden lately.
I can't stand the heat (gets worse with age), so I mostly hide from the sun, like a vampire, playing video games or watch movies, until the rain comes.

So I'll guess I'll just wait for the "Complete Edition" a year or two from now, with all the DLC and bugfixes.
