@MindfulGamer Awesome, it's such a great game. I hope you enjoy it!

@JalapenoSpiceLife You won't unlock any Trophies you've already unlocked when you import your save.

@Andy22385 Didn't mark down the score for that at all, no. Just listed it as a negative.

I'll say what I said earlier in the thread, those who don't want Trophies to transfer can simply not import their save.

@carlos82 You're absolutely right, I misread that. Updated to clarify that and include a statement from Sony shared with IGN.

@Magatsuhi Well PS5 Pro is bigger, but the difference initially seemed like it was just the mid-riff section that was adding height.

As these comparison pictures show, the sizes are VERY close.

@ShaneReactions Yep, I've added in trailers for all three games now! Thanks for the suggestion!

Might be nice to get some screenshots added too, but will look at how we can present that nicely for next time.

@ShaneReactions That's fair feedback, I agree! Leave it with me, may be more difficult to do for PS Plus Extra as that usually includes more games, but could be done here.

This is more of a live service game really. I think they support it with more than enough free updates to make it fine. The Moonstone stuff is largely optional after all.

And the expansions are basically big DLC packs, so I think it's fine they charge for them.

Excellent month. Death Note game I'm not sure about, but happy to try it on PS Plus.

Almost bought Ghostwire many times over. And Hot Wheels is good arcade racing fun.

Fantastic stuff!

@GreatAuk They said they looked at the original concept art and tried to make it match more closely to that.

@Anke Agreed! I feel the same with a lot of these games sometimes. Feels like such a minor thing to include.

There aren't enough hours in the day!

@Loamy Sarcasm now detected

@Loamy Need to get your eyes tested, then, I'm afraid.

@nessisonett They actually reshot and reframed a lot of the cutscenes, and re-recorded over 10 hours of motion capture. So they're not as awkwardly framed anymore.

@naruball To be fair, those people could just not import their save.

@Frmknst It did though.

@PuppetMaster Nah, they spent $30 million on Spider-Man 2's marketing and that was a much more aggressive campaign than this game ever got.

@Hogs-of-War-General I kinda wished I would have nabbed a sealed physical copy now. I bet they're going to become collector's items.

I always laugh when commenters say "They could have just made Ape Escape or Gravity Rush" instead. But in this particular instance, both of those franchises would have made more money than the -$200 million here.

@RoomWithaMoose I don't think you can compare it to Fortnite.

Like, I get what you're saying — and it's hard to know one way or the other without having data to prove/disprove it — but I imagine they're somewhat realistic with their ambitions.

I think Helldivers 2 will absolutely be doing what they expect from live service, which is to keep players engaged over a long period of time. It doesn't have to be doing Fortnite money necessarily, it just needs to be a steady recurring income stream.

Is this the greatest flop in gaming ever? Like even stuff such as Suicide Squad still sold a few million copies. Obviously not good enough considering the investment, but better than this.

@OldGamer999 Well I don't think the machine has changed necessarily, the problem is it used to take two or three years to make a big game, and now it takes five to six years. So the output is much less.

@Americansamurai1 Maybe they sign more and try this whole thing again?

One of the most insane stories in gaming ever.

@LordVile Hah! Thanks for the correction, fixed that!

@OldGamer999 Yeah, ironically Sony's games are the worst showcase for PS5 Pro because they already look so clean!

Day one!

This game looks really, really bad. I hope it's just because it's a beta.

Will be the case for all third-party games moving forwards really, including Microsoft's own ones.

@WiiWareWave But you're implying CI Games hasn't taken full advantage of the base PS5 hardware in order to help sell the PS5 Pro which only benefits Sony.

That doesn't really make sense.

Ultimately, I imagine CI Games did the best they could with base PS5 (which is where the majority of people will play their game). Now they have the ability to push the game a bit harder on PS5 Pro, which they're doing for the small number of customers buying the new console.

@WiiWareWave I genuinely don't think CI Games has anything to gain from the scenario you describe.

@Shinnok789 I think developers will always offer that option. There's nothing wrong with making it available, it just seems to me the bulk of the work should be focused on getting Performance really good, as that's what the majority of players prefer.

@atthegates To be fair, the PS5 Pro is more powerful than the standard PS5, that's the whole reason it exists.

So developers can do more with it, which is why you're seeing these improvements.

@BAMozzy Time will tell. If there's more money to be made in microtransactions, why not just make it free to play on all platforms?

@Kalime78 I mean, it's just there for additional context.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner In what world is 88% low? Again, it's only physical, but that's an enormous proportion of the sales.

Also, worth remembering that a proportion of the PS5s sold ALSO don't have a disc drive.

@SheerDisappointment Yeah, agreed. My expectation is it won't really make a dramatic difference, and that certainly seems true with this data so far.

But obviously it's such a small picture we won't know for sure for quite a while.

This is a good result for Sony considering they also lost the marketing deal, too.

88% share is extraordinarily high, even if physical is such a small portion of the UK market these days.

@rjejr Get better soon!

@rjejr I think you'll still get stars, it's just the XP will earn stars for all the passes now.

Thanks for the review, Aaron. I'm a big Life Is Strange fan so a bit disappointed with the score. Will still check it out, though.

@Cal_ We're reviewing Call of Duty, we didn't get access to the game until it launched on Friday and still need to spend more time properly trying all of the modes.

It'll be out soon, but please give us a little more time!

@PsBoxSwitchOwner We are, but still working on it. We didn't get access until Friday, when the game launched.

@Oram77 Not excited for this one?

@rjejr Yeah, so you can watch three episodes now. The other three episodes will be available next Thursday. That's what I mean by "second half".

It's weird how SEGA keeps announcing these milestones so early. Presumably again this is a combination of digital sales and shipped physical copies.

@themightyant Wait until you're playing Genshin and Star Rail as well. It's insane...

@ThomasHL I suppose you're right. Definitely see your point!

@LowDefAl @ThomasHL If they genuinely don't know what they're doing, like you imply, that's staggering for a company as large as Microsoft.

Personally I think they're just trying to have their cake and eat it.
