I hope this gets a PSVR 2 remaster. Awesome unique experience. In some ways even better as (or at least on par with) Beat Saber.
It's a shame it doesn't seem to get the same amount of attention.

I just like to praise it for the fact that it's a dedicated singleplayer game without all the DLC / Season Pass crap.
Just pay once for the full experience.
That's rare these days.

30 FPS is acceptable, but if that's the only option beter make sure it's a stable 30 fps and the game looks pretty.

That's the price of 4 day one PS5 games. 2 of those controllers cost as much as a PS5! Seems to be absurd unless you're a paid Pro gamer. Even then it's a question in how much advantage this controller will give you.
I'll pass

@PegasusActual93
Because I own a PS5, prefer physical games and don't like to have last-gen gamecases
Better question could be, why is the game not coming to PS5 when it has a release date of December 2022

I think I'll actually get this on the Nintendo Switch, as Digital Foundry has shown that there is zero graphical difference. Only the initial loading times is about 4 seconds longer on Nintendo Switch.
This is due the fact that the physical game doesn't come with a PS5 gamecase. My OCD would be triggered, LOL.
If it came with a PS5 gamecase, that would have been my preffered choice.

@Deformedpye
Would be awesome if we would see more from his point of view, or even reliving the campaign playing as him!

So we're getting a modular console? Wondering if this means you'll end up with fewer USB ports than the current PS5 physical.

Beat Saber, Pistol Whip, Synth Riders, Audica are on my whislist for PSVR 2. Those games have almost infinite replayability!

I want this to have a PSVR2 port. Would be a lot of fun with online co-op in VR.

The price is one thing. I think it's worth around €600 for me personally to still do a day one buy (if I can ge the funds in time).
But the second thing that is a factor for me is the amount of (good) launch titles.
I will buy a PSVR2 no doubt, but I might wait a year to have some more game options and maybe a nice bundle during the Days of Play.

The ending, with the zombie like thing in the shadow world has me worried that they are still going to cram fantasy elements in them.

This looks amazing! And it's turn-based strategy too? I need this on PS5!

The first 2 games were my favourite and real GTA competitors if you ask me.
Then they decided to go over the top with humor. It's probably a good decision from a business perspective as to distance themselves from being a GTA clone. But man, I loved the style of the first two games and the idea of building and customizing your own gang.
Also, it feels weird that Johnny Gat isn't in the remake. If he was in the game I would probably have bought the game at launch.

Preorder already done. Although "Gone Gold" doesn't carry the same weight as a few years ago.
I mean Assassin's Creed games go "Gold" with ton of bugs at launch. Cyberpunk did go "Gold" before release 😅
But I'm confident this developer will bring something good.

I would love if this ties into the MCU. I'd rather play some games than add more Disney+ series to my "to-do-list".

@Reeneman
Doesn't need to be. Crysis Remastered also has ray-tracing support for the native PS4 version. As far as I know that's the only PS4 game that does that. Raji could be the second

I'm too old for online games. As a young dad it's too much of a commitment to interact online without being 99 levels behind the rest of the players. And I just don't have that much time for myself these days, which means I'll get constantly owned by others.
Please have a meaty offline career in which I can progress at my own pace.
Otherwise I might have to skip this one, even though it's one of my favourite franchises.

Skate was amazing! The physics were unmatched back then. Hope this will bring a similar fresh experience!

So, does this confirm that AC Syndicate will get a patch to solve the PS5 playback problems real soon?

*Edit
Syndicate is actually missing on this list. It was mentioned on the earlier leaked list.

My best guess is that they pulled it because the patch wasn't ready yet.

@Discol76
Not a problem at all, since your standing on a plateau that is standing still, my brain has no problems with motion sickness. Also, the games has levels without movement and I believe you have a option for "static levels" also, if my memory serves correct.

Nice! That's a good reason to pick this up again. Awesome experience!

Real world social and political issues don't have a place in a full priced videogame. Especially not when the game's main theme is not about any of these issues. (Overfishing pirates in the 1600's, really?)
This will open a door into more in-game advertisements disguised as "events".
No matter how good the intentions, it's still propaganda/advertising.

If this becomes a thing, we'll end up with the company/organisation that has the most money controlling the content and narrative that will show up in a game as events, billboards, cosmetics, free DLC or other sneaky ways.

The fact that they announce this for a game that hasn't even gotten a release date yet, seriously factors in my willingness to buy Skull & Bones.

If Ubisoft had sincere concerns about these topics, why don't they just donate a equal amount of money as that it will cost Ubisoft to hire a team to develop and implement this in these games, instead of forcing this on the players?

Isn't there supposed to be a physical release coming, now that the DLC is out? I remember the devs mention that a while back.

This is so confusing to me. Are these PC products sponsored by Sony PS5? Or are they supposed to be Sony PS5 products which also can be used on PC?

The PS5 doesn't support 144Hz or 240Hz. And I bet the H9 companion app would not work on PS5, rendering a lot of the special features useless for the PS5 console.

Wouldn't that make these products pointless and a waste of money for PS5 console gamers?

So, this like a multiverse version of AC Black Flag, without the AC license?
I like the concept but I'm afraid I will be disappointed that it's not AC and/or multiplayer focussed.

I kinda wished Neill Blomkamp was going to direct the Horizon Zero Dawn Netflix series project. Seems a better fit with Blomkamp's experience with CGI creatures and robots and whatnot.
Curious to see what they will do with the Gran Turismo IP.

@AndyKazama
PSVR support with aim controller. Even if the VR game would be just a 2D large screen like in Cinema Mode, it would be awesome playing this on a big screen with the aim controller.

This needs VR support!

I understand it, but I don't like it.
Isn't this a "Pay to Win" scenario that is disruptive to the balance for online play, if paid users have better vehicles, gear, weapons, real estate and XP buffs?

I also hope we get 3D Blu-ray support back sometime in the future.

I kinda hope it's more in-line with the other VR headsets, so we get to see more multiplatform VR games. I know this headset is going to be awesome, but I hope we don't end up with a $400 setup that only has 3 games to play at launch.
I believe Sony already confirmed that backwards compatibility is not a focus and they rather would have developers make remasters for PSVR2 for popular games (I hope Beat Saber makes the jump to PSVR 2).
The lack of backwards compatibility and how many games there are at launch is the only factor for me if I get it day one or not. But I'm definitely going to get it!

As a non-USA resident, we don't have much with this show wrestling. It's not aired on TV over here or anything. But i always liked the look of it.
Is this easy to pick up and play with a friend when you never played a game like this before?
Will button mashing do?

Hmm. This means i'll have to cancel my pre-order for the PS5 physical edition. There probably isn't some sort of samey incentive for the disc version, right?

I hope to get to see some more of Marvel’s Midnight Suns and PSVR 2!

This is one of the reasons why I pay $10 more to get the native PS5 disc version. It happens way to often that there are some sort of (temporary) complications with free PS4 to PS5 upgrades. I can't be bothered with that. Especially not with new games on launch day.

My OCD will be triggered having a PS4 gamecase between my PS5 gamecases. And I don't like the idea of owning the PS5 version digital, while still needing to insert the PS4 disc. So I'll spend a few more bucks.
Also, a lot of troubles redeeming PS5 upgrades for popular games during launch week.
So be warned!

Note: If your planning on going digital, than the PS4 version is a no-brainer.

PSVR 2 has the potential to tilt the advantage towards Sony as the console with the most value for money.

I'm not complaining, but isn't just that they carbon copied Synth Riders for this feature?

@True_Jehuty
That could meen 200Gb free space required for install ...

I like to so companies grow by innovation, by creating new IPs. Not by paying money to prevent others from being able to play games.
This is killing the gaming industry in general.

Has there been any mention about this game having PSVR support?

To be fair, the negativity is mostly because we all want GTA6. But when looking at this objectively, it's the best we could ask for a remaster. I might might even dare to say the best remaster up until now?
Only a remake could make it better, but then you'll lose the authenticity they probably wanted to keep in place.

@themightyant
There is a difference between "Not dying" and "Reacting like nothing happened" after taking a bullet in the face. This is just bad game design.

I love the idea of these games coming back. But I feel were getting a rude awakening when we actually experience again how clunky those controls and animations were.
Sometimes memories are just best to stay as memories.

@Denni5m
I'm willing to bet that they don't have HDR with (good) local dimming. That's part of why TV's have higher latency than monitors. Local dimming takes time. And I'm willing to bet you won't see the difference between 1 and 6 ms in a blind test anyhow.

Folders + Premium themes (that also change icons and fonts etc.)
Bring back 3D Blu-ray support!

Great article!
Off course the SSD is the biggest thing so i decided to not vote for that. I choose the Pulse 3D Equalizer Customization, since that is what i'm going to use straight away!

@JAMes-BroWWWn
I prefer both.
Also looking forward to seeing more of Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. And than there are those Bluepoint Games Metal Gear Solid 1 Remake rumours...

This actually has me considering to wait for a price reduced "Complete Edition" in the future.
