In response to some of the other comments, this is absolutely newsworthy as personally I was scouring the comments to see if I could downgrade.

I'd have 100% downgraded if I could but fully understand why they don't let you. Not just the loss of income, but someone would probably dig out the numbers on how many people downgraded eventually, which would be terrible optics.

I'm happy to call it quits after my WipeOut HD platinum before they released any DLC to make it easier.

Didn't stream it though, so probably didn't happen.

If VAR is having a look I expect the game will end up just coming out early

Grew up in Alum Rock.

Now that's what I call iconic.

Can hopefully catch the skyline from Aston, or can you stop at Duddeston on the game?

A Game of Thrones tribute.

And that is absolutely great.

I loved the original. A truly original open world game in a congested market.

Still not really sure that a) I want a sequel and b) it would be possible (even for a Kojima produced game) to have anything resembling a coherent narrative.

Prequel maybe?

Console War 2 just in time for peak Cold War 2.

Poetic.

Think there will be a lot of dissenters in the current climate if VR with plastic guns hits the main stream home console market.

I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with that, I can just see the editorials from Harry and Megan et al being written already.

Part of my still hopes it all comes back to Abandoned.

Kojima Klassic.

Another one for Colin.

Nostalgic for E3 obviously.

But for me personally it will be of minimal interest unless Sony are there.

I'm just so glad to wait for almost all games now, both before buying and playing.

Downloaded this when it came to the subscription service, the mood hadn't hit me yet to play it, and now I get the PS5 version.

So many great games now that there is always a host of critically acclaimed experiences on the backlog, that you can play as and when they become available as part of a subscription service.

I didn't think it was "really good" personally, and voted OK in the poll. I didn't feel it was all that slick and found it to be a bit incoherent.

Think I'm bringing in some bias about consistent disappointment at no Bloodborne and no MGS remake though.

Wasn't a huge amount for me personally, but also can't see how anyone could say it wasn't at least OK, and better than expected given the rumours before.

Oh for God's sake, how am I going devote any time to being a functional human now I can get football manager platinum.

@Ken_Kaniff

Can't fathom the comparison to the TLOU in the context you're using.

It is objectively less polished that TLOU PS4 version and just about every other AAA PlayStation Great.

This is definitely heading for the comments being disabled

Sick. Can't wait.

@nessisonett

Imitation is the greatest form of flattery. Unless they were also planning more sports based story games, in that case they are probably flicking through some legal manuals.

Who else came here expecting Beyond Good and Evil 2?

This game looks so sick.

As others have side think it might be a PS Plus inclusion.

What an absolute maniac.

The guy that mows the lawn at my office didn't warn me about Hayfever.

Litigation inbound.

Love the series.

The PSP game is my favourite. If that came back with trophies I'd explode.

Went straight into this and bagged the platinum.

Just pay for the Fleetwood Mac tune that the BBC did back in the day.

Mugs.

@Zombiechris

Correct. I won't be paying £70. Voting with my feet, money where my mouth is. Etc etc.

I can't see how anyone can arrive at the conclusion that full price is a good price, but each to their own, subjectivity and all that.

Remake.
Rebirth.
Return to sender. (Elvis sim)

Yeah. But there's been an updated version since the PS3 one already...

I love Sony but this project is really annoying me. Was always a bit, whatever, but the pricing has cemented it as a joke. Elden Ring cost me nearly half that amount.

Surprisingly consumer friendly for Sony of late.

Surprised at the vote breakdown.

I felt this was worse than the 2016 remake by a fair distance, but still a decent game that I played through to the platinum.

7/10 in my view.

12/15. Best one yet.

Good one for a wipeout and resogun super fan.

I love Sony.

The Last of Us is one of my top 5 games ever in 30 years of gaming.

Nonetheless £70 for this game is in my view, insane.

Shout out to all the weirdos who liked Donatello the best.

Can't watch golf with putting money in their pockets.

Can't watch the premier league without funding their atrocities.

Can't play video games without backing their medieval discrimination.

I'm not sure how the world gets out of it now. Beholden to them for oil for decades, now as that industry dies they are just buying everything else.

Tragic.

@Ajfennell77

Not too bad I suppose. Still feels like they are banking on people playing a slight premium for the brand.

I'll probably get it the first week if it reviews well.

As an F1 fan and football manager stalwart I'm pretty up for this.

Is there any word on pricing? My general impression so far is £70 would be really cheeky.

Expect that they will end up mostly looking like they are on the toilet when "scowling"

I agree with the sentiments put forward in the article.

I absolutely loved E3, but acknowledge that it isn't necessary.

As someone who plays 90%+ of their games on PlayStation, it has been a slow death for E3 since Sony withdrew, meaning I wasn't as disappointed as I might have been when it came to an end.

I'll always regret that I was never able to go.

FFXVI the only choice for a guy like me.

Shout Outs to rollerdrome and stray

@BartoxTharglod

Correct. Even in the context of massive nerdery, which most definitely describes my own interface with gaming, it is hard to justify outrage about this and a number of other "outrages".

@SoulChimera

I came to the game late, and just have s-10 (0.092 off at the moment!) to finish the skill based trophies, at which point I will start in the others.

Have they given any indication about the frequency at which legendary cars will be available, and is there anywhere to keep track of when they come up? Or just best to periodically check PSN profiles?

I love Death Stranding. Beautiful game.

However, I'm not sure I want a sequel. Felt the same about The Last Of Us, and ultimately feel like I was right not to want a sequel. Good game but not possible to live up to the predecessor.

I understand the reasons they are lacking.

But I'm still understandably devastated.

@GorosBat

Absolutely correct.

1. Bloodborne
2. Bloodborne
3. Bloodborne

Side note.

People have called both Dishonoured and Deathloop "sims" in this thread. I'm really confused, doubting myself and all that.

Either I don't know what you can call a simulation or the others don't.

Having said that Greek/Norse mythology Sim God of War is a favourite of mine, closely followed by post apocalyptic robot dinosaur world sim, the horizon series.

I am a WipEout superfan, and the HD and Omega Collection Platinums are my favourite ones.

Pacer was a massive disappointment and I missed the original Redout as it came out pretty close to the Omega collection.

Excited to give this a go.

Would make sense, I think maybe, not that I have a clue....

1) Sony sack off some of their Japanese studios and talent.

2) Square sack off a lot of their Western studios

3) And... merge.

I've been offered the job.

Day 1 - acquire Tencent in hostile takeover and immediately liquidate

Day 2 - resign

They should definitely be doing some quality assurance and it absolutely devalues the system.

Really easy to solve. Disable auto pop for different versions and have a minimum time requirement that the majority of gamers wouldn't be able to plat the game in. 4 or 5 hours perhaps.

I've got a couple of garbage time plats out of curiosity, the classic...My Name is Mayo and Slyde. But I had to have a 6 hour long shower because of the shame after.

I tend to look at what platinum trophies have, rather than quantity.

Sorry to be a bit contrarian but I think the price is ok-ish. Although this does suggest their financial situation isn't that great after a few big fiscal flops.

$300 million for mostly dormant or lost their way IPs seems reasonably fair to me. They are also probably unhappy with Crystal Dynamics after the Avengers game (although you could argue it was weird they made it in the first place).

Sony paid less than $250 million of the entirety of Insomniac. But the counter argument is nonsense like $1 billion for Sumo Digital.

This makes my head hurt man. You'll need that multiple spider-man meme for MW soon.
