Wow. That's worth it for Thomas Was Alone alone!

Seems like an odd thing to worry about. I mean pushsquare is comprised of a variety of different articles - the expected news, previews and reviews as well as more random items like soapbox, random and weirdness - written and/or produced by a number of contributors. Rather than dilute the pushsquare brand, the variety lends itself to a more compelling place to visit. I have no qualms if State of Play becomes a catch-all for all manner of game reveals, single game previews, hardware announcements or even shorter one-off style videos. I think it helps to keep things fresh, interesting and frequent, rather than only release a handful per year.

Huzzah! I finally got one!

Sweet as. Chur bro.

Chur bro. Sweet as.

Um... cool...

I wonder if this might be used as a backdoor to run ps1 roms on real hardware?

Wow, looks like a lot of fun

Step right up, indeed.

That guy in the 2nd screenshot looks like he's in the power loader from Alien!

@Areus Sony records highest ever profit, immediately receives a "If they were smart" business advice from the internet. 🤔

Disappointing that in a Turrican collection they don't include the original C64 versions. Maybe it would seem less palatable to the modern gamer but it remains a very-programmed game and has a faster, more hectic feeling than the Amiga version as well as a SID soundtrack. I guess it was just too much hassle to emulate and it's easier to fob off physical trinkets.

I want a ps5 but I ain't gonna brave conditions like that. I'll just keep watching twitter and see if I can get one on rakuten or Amazon or one of these silly lotteries that are all the rage here.

@Jimmer-jammer nah, you'd be fine in Japan. No one is going to try and take it from you or you'd be pretty damn unlucky if it happened.

Any connection between this and the Messenger?

@LiterallyDoNotCare it can't be that desperate because despite all your complaints you said you will still buy the game.

@LiterallyDoNotCare you mean a business was trying to sell something? Crazy.

I played this a few weeks ago and enjoyed it more than I expected. Definitely worth a playthrough or two.

A sequel would be awesome.

@get2sammyb @quintumply Have you guys seen this: https://youtu.be/XkUKpuecEeU?

Worth an article methinks.

Looks amazing!!!

Happy New Year!!!! Wishing 2021 is a million times better than 2020!

@Waffles12415 wow. I'm in Japan and the system here is all about lotteries. They sell out in minutes when available at retail.

I will buy one as soon as I can find one.

@Burntbreadman thanks for saying this. I'm shocked 11,000 units were sold because I've been searching high and low and on a daily basis and I can't find anywhere that has one for sale. I'm sure if there were more available they would all sell out and I for one would buy one ASAP.

Mafia Definitive Edition?

That would be crazy if they could port it to PSP like they did with RTR.

Buggy Malone. Nice one.

Put the chocolate on the moose!

I don't think there's any evidence from this video that he's actually studying Japanese as he is clearly just reading it. In saying that, he is not mangling the pronunciation too badly and that's a win for sure. As a somewhat fluent speaker, Japanese is relatively easy to pick up but very very very hard to master.

@get2sammyb you're article inspired me to track down an OG 60B model to replace mine which YLOD'd many years back (and which I replaced with a special edition Ni No Kuni Slim edition... for my kids yknow).

@carlos82 nice setup dude.

I still play my ps3 semi-regularly. I have an embarrassingly large backlog going back to launch and including a number of digital ps1 and ps2 classics. I think it's a great console but I'm sad that I have to use the slim and my phat sits in a box following it's untimely death. Would like to fix it one day but not sure if there's a point.

@Rudy_Manchego yup, know exactly how you feel. And it keeps growing. I try to be disciplined and not buy anything new but the sales are too good and too frequent. If only real life wasn't so time consuming!

Cool cool cool.

@Spoonman-2 actually, I'm being an idiot. All the boxes carry barcodes and the barcodes could be linked to serial numbers. I don't know if they are but that would seem the most logical solution.

@Spoonman-2 I'm trying to think how that would work. In the case of your phone, it's easy because you've already activated it. But in the case of things like PS5, I don't think they display the serial number on the outside of the box (for obvious reasons) so it would have it difficult to know which exact until was stolen beyond it being one of the hundreds/thousands alloted to a specific store.

Damn. People are so miserable. Starting to get way too toxic around here.

I voted Dual Analog Controller. I'm such a loser

@EllZ89 the other difference with scalping is that sony control very little of the b2c channel (this might vary country to country) so it's tough for them to control retail whereas obviously it's much easier for them to directly influence their own digital distribution.

@Jaz007 but that's not what the article is about, is it?

It's on sale now as well.

Have just started playing through this now and it's wonderful. My daughter is watching as I play and she's having a great time, too (and have just realised we can play it two player though I'm sure she'll drown me on purpose a few times).

@LaytonPuzzle27 thanks for letting us know that you're a horrible racist and that we don't have to pay you any mind. Cheers.

How the hell does that happen? Living in Japan we never have to worry about driver theft etc.

@get2sammyb well, I live here and I couldn't find one at launch despite trying my darndest to preorder. I can buy one using Mercari but they cost at least double and the vast majority of these are sold out despite the premium (and there are thousands of listings!). I'm content to wait until new stock becomes available but I don't think things here are as dire as you suggest.

Haha. That's hilarious. 3D cookie crumb technology indeed.

@get2sammyb wow! That is cool.

Er... How about people just wait? If someone's intent is to play it on ps5, then just do that.

@LemonHaze your profile pic is way too distracting

@Enuo exaaaaaaccctttlllly.

@graysoncharles that's so odd. I have the exact opposite problem. My PS4 Pro is super reliable and quick on downloads whereas my Xbox One X is slow and drops it's connection on occasion. They sit within a metre of each other so I don't understand why.
