@Its_badW0lf not that obvious, but fair enough!

@Its_badW0lf why? Because not every article is breaking news?

I heard she prefers Just Dance

I will be watching this on my Pony PlayStation.

@fabisputza00 nope, plenty of news on the homepage if you wanna check it

@Salmonella this isn't news, it's a feature article

No, I haven't.

You know, Sammy did beat me once.... when my PS4 crashed.

Excellent write-up Sammy, I totally agree. It's exactly what I was expecting and hoping for. The focus on the recently-upcoming games makes total sense and leaves room to add in the more distant future releases another time. If they are doing these every few months, you wouldn't want them showing TLoU2 every single time, save that for when it's closer for release. I'd rather know about the games coming in the next couple of months.

@MonkeyDLuffy19 hmm, that's a difficult question as things have moved on so much since I was learning 10-15 years ago. I'm what you could describe as a full stack developer, which means I know a bit of everything but wouldn't really be classed as an expert at anything. You either want to do that, or specialise in a particular section of the stack. Having a really good knowledge of backend and frontend Javascript seems to be popular these days. I'm not sure if that helps, but if you ever want to ask any questions just email or ask here.

@andreoni79 to be fair that’s quite realistic, at least on the workload front

More and more things are starting to suggest it will be this year. I guess technically pre-production would have started in late 2013 early 2014, so maybe it is possible?

Great interview, really interesting to /hear/ their side of it. I've been really impressed recently with game scores, something that I think certain games are really starting to excel with. That said, I've not played Shadow yet, but I can listen out for these influences now I know!

This isn't surprising considering the selection, would totally agree that DriveClub is my favourite at the moment with GT Sport in close second. Such a shame what happened to the launch of DriveClub and Evolution Studios as a whole. Great game.

@fluggy it's "Great", not a "high good" it's also only £39.99 on Amazon at the mo.

Hmm, I can certainly see how this is going to cause some issues... I'm very unsure as to how this is going to pan out!

@fluggy HDR worked great for me

Very strong list from Sammy. I've either played, bought or intend to buy all of these games. Great minds think alike

Wow, that's insane. Where can I pre-order?

Crash Team Racing!

These are awesome, seriously tempted!

Do you think they have a giant screen somewhere in the offices that just counts up the money as it comes in?

@LN78 hey, yeah we're currently trialling downvotes on article comments which should give us some useful insight into the community mindset. We also added a minimum comment length, which was actually updated just a couple of minutes ago (with a different error message). This is to try and prevent people giving one or two word comments such as "First!" or "Why?" that we've been seeing.

Origin story for Mysterious Soldier, simple.

@TronS thanks for the suggestion - I firmly believe people should read multiple reviews if they want to get a broad opinion or are unsure, so VR Game Critic looks like a good source.

According to their publication overview: https://vrgamecritic.com/publication/1006 it says Push Square "scores -7.8 points lower than other media on average" based on the 100 point scale. So on our scale, that's less than 1 point off the average score.

That suggests to be that we're broadly inline with the general consensus on average, which is what I would expect.

So cool. So expensive.

I liked DriveClub. I’m a big fan of Burnout and Ridge Racer, Wipeout to a degree too. I dunno, I like the look of Forza but I’m not buying a system just for that. What should I play next to fill the Ridge Racer / Burnout hole?

@Quintumply not even a mention of the NFS games? The latest one had it's perks

Does anyone else feel like Racing games are dying out a bit?

Done. Mine now next renews in 2020 (on PS5)!

@ReanSchwarzer7 thanks, although it has been there for over a year

@ReanSchwarzer7 we can ignore Wii U, PS4 and PSTV as they all run old browsers. Name some of these moderately servere issues your having on PC?

@ReanSchwarzer7 I assume you are trying to make a joke with that statement as it's totally false and inaccurate. This website works fine in Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge and Opera across Windows, Mac, iOS and Android which makes up 99.5%+ of our users. We don't support out of date browsers, which may your issue.

@Flaming_Kaiser sorry, I'm not quite sure what you mean... can you email me with more detailed info of what is happening? [email protected] thanks!

@rjejr anything over 60 mins should still show as x hours ago, then once it's over 24 hours (or no longer the same day as your current day) will it go to "Day, Time"

Great review @get2sammyb, however, my wallet does not thank you!

@rjejr I've not made any changes to the timestamps, but if for some reason the Javascript wasn't working for you it might display the actual date/time rather than the relative time (1 hour ago...) is it still happening or back to normal now?

@Flaming_Kaiser can you send me a screenshot? I can't replicate this issue myself [email protected] thanks!

@ztpayne7 can you describe the issue so I can re-create it?

@lacerz I can't replicate that problem... is it all OK again?

@get2sammyb I assume you'd approve of RE7 @ £15? Tempting...

@get2sammyb servers aren't always cheap, but you would expect a big game like this to have factored this into the original budget of the game... I imagine marketing cost would outweigh server costs for a game like this, it's not Battlefield is it? Does seem a bit cheap to cut them off so soon...

@Rob_230 @ztpayne7 yeah, we didn't include it because it doesn't look like it comes with the aim controller, which makes it less good.

@hadlee73 it's always trailers and scripted gameplay - that's a press conference these days

The daily live streams will have sections on how the individual games play - I think that's probably a better format, otherwise it'd be 4 hours long.

I'd totally agree with what you both said, it was good, but not in that top tier of previous years, it lacked that 'killer' moment for me. That said, everything showed looked like really good content, so it's still a solid 8 or 9 out of 10. We've just gotten used to 10s in the past couple of years

@get2sammyb reads like an 8/10

Love it, they need to produce these alternate boxes for all the PSone remakes

Seeing as the whole game mechanic revolves around Max, I imagine they'll keep her and expand upon her story - everyone has an investment in those characters now so it would be a shame not to use it - much like TLOU2.

Day one.

@get2sammyb totally pilchard my joke.

Well, that's just silly.
