I'd love a sequel to Resogun. That was one of my favorite games when I first got a PS4. The gameplay loop was so addictive with great music and visuals to go along with it.

@PuppetMaster Well, I hope it can be fixed for people who already updated. Wiping out player upgrade progress is pretty disheartening especially when it kneecaps players deep into the story. It's not as big of a deal for people who didn't update or haven't started playing. So yes, some of the comments are hyperbole but it's not a "simple glitch". I think it's disingenuous to say so.

Edit: And to be clear, I love Naughty Dog and don't understand extreme hate toward them.

Thank you for reporting on this issue. It happened to me and I hope articles like this one can save others from it. Incredibly frustrating that they didn't find this in the testing stage. Thankfully, I have the game on disc. I ended up deleting my game and save file from my console storage then downloading an older manual save from the cloud. I then reinstalled from my disc with my network off. I also turned off auto update. What a pain!

Please let people know that the patch 2.0 on PS5 is bugged. It breaks current saved games. It wiped out all my holsters and supplement upgrades. It is being widely talked about on Reddit so it's not just my experience. I was on Ellie's Day 3 for a platinum run and now I must start over.

I love these games! Very peaceful and contemplative puzzle games. Clever solutions without being overly frustrating. They do work nicely on a phone with touch controls to turn the levels around, but I think the art design will look really beautiful on a 4K TV display.

@AK4tywill Same. I was looking forward to seeing what these shirts would be but man those are boring designs.

@wildcat_kickz I've been trying to work up the courage to play Remastered on PS5. I got the platinum on the PS4 version so I played it 1.5 times already. I'd like to get the platinum again for this version without transferring my save now. But I look outside and the sun is coming out on the first day of spring. The game is so dark emotionally and visually with the constant rain. But I'm gonna give it a go this weekend. I'd like to get it played before the new HBO season comes out. It is one of my favorite games of all time though. I was lucky enough to avoid all the spoilers on the first playthrough and it hit hard. It may not hit me as hard this time but it'll hurt.

Got mine! Will be replaying Part II when it arrives.

@JackiePriest Thank you! I didn't want to pay the ridiculous prices on eBay. Gonna pre-order a new one now.

@Quintumply Are the secret stages/hidden levels required to get the platinum? Are some of the cameo characters locked behind them? I am just curious if there's a steep difficulty barrier to get the platinum. I consider myself a decent platforming player, but I know my limits on having perfect reaction timing.

They are back in stock at the moment on the US PlayStation Direct site. Just grabbed one!

@YoureTooSlowBro Considering it's the same developer as Evil Dead: The Game, I'm assuming it at least one will be an asymmetrical multiplayer game. I'm a huge fan of the Halloween franchise, but I agree that I have no interest in that game genre. It needs to go away. Dead by Deadlight has that niche locked up and any newcomers are just risking failure.

@simonandrewwil I’m assuming they will still be able to use his character because of that. Just like Aloy has a face model who gave her likeness but is voiced and mo-capped by a different performer. Very sad that he has passed but The Curator will live on in future games and keep his memory alive.

I get that people wanted a PSVR2 version, but it does make sense from the developer wanting to reach a wider audience to shoot for just a PS5 version. Everyone has their preferred platform, but more people are able to play Astro Bot this way and for that I'm happy. The bitter anger shown directed at the development team by some commenters is unfortunate. It seems like there was no winning for them in this case. They're just trying to make a fun game.

@themightyant March 2020 was when remote work started for a lot of companies (not sure when ND employees went home). So we should have interviews from the first announcement in 2016 until likely March 2020 (only a few months before launch). So hopefully we get a good sense of the overall development. But you’re right that we may miss some of the in-the-moment reaction to the leaks and launch. Having a retrospective analysis of that may be really interesting though as it can put that time into context. Regardless, I’m excited for this doc.

God of War Ragnarök: Valhalla is such an amazing gift from Sony Santa Monica. I hadn’t played the base game since January, but the controls came right back to me and it has been a blast. I’m really thankful that we got an epilogue to the Norse saga. I haven’t finished the story part yet but I’m loving the allusions to his past.

Genuinely excited for this FREE dlc. I’m not generally a rougelike fan, but I trust Sony Santa Monica to make this mode fun. And with five difficulty modes, I’m not afraid that I’ll be banging my head against a wall as a newbie to the genre. It being an epilogue and having some story elements is a nice bonus. I still think they’re cooking up a stopgap dlc or shorter game to bridge to the next full entry. Any additional GoW is good news for me. And to get it next week is just fantastic.

Very good overall despite some lulls. Can't wait to play the Ragnarok DLC next week!

Do we know the price of the WLF Edition?

@Quintumply How is the platinum difficulty? Is it comparable to the first two titles?

Anyone know if the Sony Pulse 3D Headset supports Atmos?

@ShogunRok Thank you for the reply. I figured they may wait to pass out codes until release day, but I would be very interested to read a PushSquare review whenever that happens. Thanks again!

@ShogunRok Do we know when the game will be available for review outlets? I know there isn't a change is the overall specs, but I'm curious how it runs and if there are bugs. Still not buying it right away but interested in how the port functions. Thanks!

I love it. My only quibble is the lack of a "favorites" list. PS Now had a Netflix-style favorites queue/list. It was helpful to save games that you were interested in playing later. It's frustrating to only have Stream or Download as the options especially when it is a simple feature that was already on PS Now. Still very satisfied with the expanded PS Plus and can't wait to see where it goes from here.

how is there not an ability to make a list/queue like on Netflix? I see that you can add to Wishlist but I'd like a separate list just for PS Plus service games. Especially for streaming PS3 titles, it would be nice to have a list since they cannot be downloaded.

One of my absolute favorite games on PS5. I spent a long time doing everything in that game and getting the platinum. Just a joy to play.

Love the variety that this studio allows in the indie space. Picked up Telling Lies, Gorogoa, and A Memoir Blue in the Days of Play sale. They have published some of my favorite indie games (Kentucky Route Zero, The Unfinished Swan, What Remains of Edith Finch, Donut Country) and I can't wait for Stray. Still need to pick up Twelve Minutes too. Excited to try The Artful Escape and Outer Wilds on the new PS Plus as well.

I never would have gotten into Ratchet & Clank without the remake. I hadn't played any of the originals. I loved the remake and then platinumed Rift Apart.

Best news on a Monday ever printed! Might want to amend the story to say the special editions of the first two games are available to stream on PS Now and I would imagine will be included in the new PS Plus services. Doubt we will ever get downloadable versions as the are PS3 ports.

Finally, a new release date! Can't wait to team up with friends in this game.

The initial marketing was terrible and I had no interest despite loving the movies. As reviews came in, I was intrigued and picked it up for half-price during a sale. It has great writing and characterization with fun combat. I loved it from start to finish and got the platinum. I really hope it gets a sequel.

@ShogunRok Thank you! That makes me so happy to hear. I can't wait to dive back into this game. It doesn't feel like a whole year has passed since it came out because I continued to play Legends. Thank you for your review. It helped solidify my hopes for the expansion.

@ShogunRok If I want to earn a new platinum trophy, can I do so as long as I do not transfer my PS4 save? I really want to play it all again with a fresh slate and get the trophies through gameplay rather than having them pop through save transfer.

I'm signing out and taking a break from PushSquare. Removing my browser bookmark too. You may not care about one person when your clickbait articles attract 100s of comments, but I find the state of this site to be really sad nowadays. Your articles no longer accurately reflect the mood of players in general. You strive to stir up and "enliven" debates that don't exist beyond an extreme circle of fanboys. I'm really disappointed, Sammy. I'll find a different site that actually gives PlayStation news rather than exaggerated Soapbox articles that stoke console war philosophies and discontent. I do love many members of the community here, but the content providers have sullied a good thing and I would rather be in a place that lifts up the conversation than play in the dirt.

Love it! Has any info come out about a separate platinum for the Director’s Cut? I really want to do the whole story again to get a second platinum.

I put 124 hours into this game (single and multiplayer) and got the platinum. I would absolutely do it all again in a native PS5 version with DLC. I'd plunk down a full $70 for it too. Truly one of my all-time favorite games. It was a dream to play a game version of my favorite samurai films.

Forgive my ignorance, but does this include a new single-player story or is it just adding an expansion to the online multiplayer experience? I've been thinking about picking up the PS5 version to play the single-player story and this expansion would certainly make that prospect more enticing.

I can confirm, I hit 29 of 30 and got the trophy. I missed the 7th Cordelion crystal.

How many times will it be delayed like the movie sequels? 😆

Been playing Rift Apart since it unlocked on Thursday night. I’m not trying to rush it, but already at 41% completion. It’s just filled with so much creativity and humor that it’s easy for the hours to pass quickly. The weapons are a blast and the platforming is responsive. I’m loving it to the point that when I finally went for a walk outside, I’m had the soundtrack streaming on Spotify though my headphones as I enjoyed the sunshine. Only wish I had hoverboots.

@VerumRex__ Thank you for the video just in case I run into the issue. Also, @get2sammyb, PowerPyx (trophy guide) says this now:
“Note: Even though there are 30 Blizon Crystals, only 29 are needed to pop the trophy since patch v1.001.002 (prior to this all 30 were needed). So you are allowed to miss one of them if you’ve updated your game.”

@PinkLemonade According to the video:
Fidelity - 3840x2160
Performance - 1440x2160
Performance RT - 1080x2160

But obviously temporal injection ups the look of the game even in lower resolutions.

I am torn between Fidelity Mode and Performance RT. I think that I am leaning toward Fidelity because I want the highest resolution. 30 fps is not a dealbreaker for me, although with the chaos on screen in this game that feeling might change. Tough choice. I wish we could have a full resolution Performance RT mode.

@get2sammyb You didn't have to do that, but thank you for taking feedback. Sorry that I reacted so strongly. I was really excited by your first paragraph and it felt like a balloon deflating when I read the score. My reaction was unkind and I apologize.

@get2sammyb See that explanation makes more sense. Maybe it's a failure of writing rather than intention? "Virtually flawless" as a game full-stop is much different than "virtually flawless" as a "Ratchet & Clank experience". It is not just me who is latching onto that combined with the score. It is a confusing statement within the review.

@Shepherd_Tallon This says it perfectly. The games industry is adapting to new realities and this business model makes sense in context.

PS4 units sold: 115 million
PS5 units sold: 7.8 million

Sony is a business. This makes business sense.

I loved the music in the State of Play. It fit the action and tone of the gameplay so well. I can't wait to hear the whole score.

This is so encouraging to see. My friend with cerebral palsy is sometimes prevented from playing certain games due to limited mobility. He controls his games with one hand which has limited dexterity. So options like Toggle Buttons, Aim Assist, Swing Mode, Flight Assist, Simplified Transversal, Shortcut Buttons, and turning off Adaptive Triggers makes it possible for him to play games like this one. Bravo Insomniac!

I want the stage 3 dynamic theme. I just wish we could also use dynamic themes on PS5.
