How does the humble pie taste?

I am a huge Batman fan, but I am actually more excited about this series season two. It took so long that I did not think there would be another round.

I can't stand Patcher. He's pompous and his video game industry predictions are usually pretty far off the mark.

So excited for this game! I remember seeing footage of it for Oculus and wishing it would come to PSVR. I love the style and gameplay mechanics.

What Remains of Edith Finch is my GOTY so far. It is such a well told and emotional tale. I have not experienced the feelings that it left me with since Journey.

Horizon Zero Dawn and Nex Machina are close behind though. The latter has the same ridiculously addictive gameplay loop as Resogun. I cannot get enough of it.

@dryrain I revisited them on the iPhone when the remasters came out. They were beautiful looking and the humor still holds up. They seemed harder than I remembered so I used a guide for a few puzzles, but overall they are a lot of fun.

One of my most anticipated games of the year. The Monkey Island games have always been at the top of my favorite series of all time.

@Gamer83 I'm definitely going to take Sammy's tip to jump between the games. Crash 1 is infuriating at different points. I remember really liking 2 and 3, so I'm going to give them a shot. I do not think it's nostalgia that is the issue with perception of Crash games. I think '90s gamers views about what makes a game fun to play may have changed over time due to life experience plus changes in gameplay difficulty and mechanics over time. I was 11 years old when the original was released. I remember having fun despite the frustration. However, I also had a lot more time at that age to spend hours and hours replaying each level. I am very curious to know how gamers who are playing the trilogy for the first time are experiencing it.

In my opinion, no developer does scripted action set pieces better than Naughty Dog. The high adrenaline action is so well executed. I cannot wait to play this game. It is nice that they kept Chloe's sarcastic personality too. It allows for a similar quip filled running commentary by the protagonist that makes the main Uncharted series so fun for me to play.

I love this game mostly because I love the film noir genre. I thought they nailed the mood, dialogue, music, and setting of my favorite noirs. I would love to see it remastered, but I am not sure how it would translate to VR. The interrogations would be excellent for reading suspect honesty. However, there are a bunch of foot and car chases. It suspect it work in first person perspective through the PS4, but might be nauseating in PSVR. I am open to trying it though.

Great to see this game getting more support. I hope they add more story missions at some point too.

@Ewflex Maybe not, but I feel like it has some unique gameplay elements that could make it interesting to try.

@get2sammyb Thank you for the notes on difficulty. I always appreciate a challenge especially when it involves building skills. So it is good to know that it stacks like Resogun where you can make it through the levels on the first playthrough, but it has enough content that replayability is high along with the desire to build mastery of the mechanics.

@get2sammyb How did you find the difficulty over the course of the game? I am reading other reviews that say the difficulty curve gets pretty intense in later levels. Did you find that the difficulty was fair or were there control throwing moments?

Between this game and MaterFall, Housemarque has stolen my entire summer if they are anywhere near as addictive as Resogun.

No specific release date until the game is nearly ready to go is fine. However, I like a general release window (Spring 2018) rather than just a year. At least then I can adjust my hype level. I would assume most developers have a quarter as a tentative deadline and it still provides wiggle room with delays on a specific date.

The trailer was amazing, but all I wanted was a release date. Why David Cage, why no date?

Ridiculously cute mouse. I am curious to learn more about the gameplay.

Exclusive games are what I want to see. I like to be excited to own a PS4 because it is getting the best lineup. Along with that usually comes the biggest surprises, which are also what elevates E3 presentations into memorable experiences.

This is at the top of my wishlist. I really hope we get a 2017 release date for this game!

Really hoping for a discount on Nier: Automata. I am not sure if it is a game that I will like, but the reviews have really piqued my interest.

@Rudy_Manchego I'm right there with you on wanting to use the Aim more after getting it with Farpoint. The Aim is a great piece of hardware and I want it to be utilized in as many games as it is feasible to include.

Aim controller support?

I am surprised there is not a wumpa fruit candle.

Certainly disappointing to see Sony choose the wrong website for registration. It obviously could not handle the traffic. I hope we get a second chance to reservr tickets on a more robust website.

I would love to go, but the registration site has been down all day. So frustrating!

I have been wanting to pick up Life is Strange so this would be great.

I didn't grab Alienation, but I loved Resogun and this looks right up my alley.

I am super excited about this one and for the price it will be a day one purchase. Crash mode provided endless hours of entertainment back in the day. I would give anything for a full arcade-style Burnout game with closed tracks like in BO3.

@get2sammyb I wholeheartedly agree with the frustrating overemphasis on the "killer app". I have loved so many games and experiences on PSVR since getting it at launch. I feel the library has more than proved the headset's worth as a new way to play. I meant it in the public's perception of the potential of full scale FPS VR games.

How is the battery life of the Aim? How is it charged?

@get2sammyb Thank you for the review. I will definitely be picking it up, but I'm sad to hear it's not the PSVR's killer app. Hopefully, a successful launch will spur more developers to go to big budget full campaigns with more games.

@get2sammyb Fantastic! I wanted to pre-order it based mostly on your initial impressions, but I want to know the final verdict before I lay down $80 for the bundle. Thank you and the staff for keeping up with the VR reviews. They have guided many of my purchases.

@get2sammyb when might we be seeing a Farpoint review? I've been a little concerned that no reviews have popped up anywhere online, but I'm guessing there is a release day embargo.

@JoeBlogs I would love a remaster to come out this summer. I want to replay it, but I don't want to dust off the PS3 copy if they are going to update the game. Rockstar does not really have much of a history of remasters aside from GTA V, so I won't hold my breath.

I would love to see a spaghetti western style game. Red Dead Redemption really mined the darker, later era, and revisionist westerns so there is plenty of room for a different take. It remains to be seen what tone RDR2 takes, but I'm sure Ubisoft could find a unique perspective.

Finally took the bait with Persona 4. I am not a big fan of that style of rpg, but I couldn't resist at that price and with its reputation. I want to at least give it a shot and I hope it pulls me into the gameplay loop like it has for others here.

I love my PSVR and recently enjoyed Fated. I am excited about Farpoint and the new peripheral, but I am holding off until the reviews roll in. I can't justify laying down that much money for the game/gun until I know more about the length and how it plays. It also has to have some replay value.

I would love a sequel with PSVR support like RE7!

So great to see the positive reviews coming in! I was waiting to pre-order and just grabbed it now for the PSN discount. I will definitely be playing and finishing it this week. I am looking forward to the Push Square review too.

The involvement of Wintory is a bonus and the characters have a fun aesthetic. I will wait for reviews, but I hope people do not write off the studio based on one game. Their God of War portable titles were well reviewed.

@Wazeddie22 Thank you for the recommendation. I purchased it and will give it a run through tomorrow.

@Wazeddie22 what did you think about Fated?

Been on the look out for new PSVR titles and watched the trailer for this yesterday on PSN store. It looks really beautiful with an intriguing story. I will definitely be getting it. PSN store is getting better with more descriptive summaries/features for the VR games and experiences. It's harder to know exactly what you're getting from the trailer alone, so I really appreciate the extra details on PSN store and the reviews here. Please keep the PSVR reviews rolling out.

I've been on a John Woo movie kick lately so I finally picked up Stranglehold for PS3. I'm ready for some slow motion balletic bullet barrages in this sequel to Hard Boiled.

That's so great to hear. I love Arkham VR but Batman would sometimes get super shaky hands like he was coming down from a caffeine high.

Very cool! I like this concept.

@get2sammyb Is there a PSVR game sale happening on the UK PSN store too? There is one here in the US that has some excellent discounts on the big and indie games. Might be worth mentioning in one of the VR articles?

Horizon looks astonishing, but I also enjoy the little indies such as Night in the Woods. Sometimes the lack of hype can provide a more satisfying experience when an indie game turns out to be amazing. The art style of this one looks particularly interesting.

Finally wrapped up the Tomb Raider reboot. What a nuts ending, but I really loved the gameplay and upgrade system. Started On Rise of the Tomb Raider. They really expanded the systems and refined the controls. I'm looking forward to playing it all weekend.

In my top five favorite PS4 games. I can't wait to see Futurlab's VR game.

It seems like it will treat the topic of mental health with the respect that it deserves. I couldn't get into Outlast because it did the exact opposite. People with mental illness endured unimaginable treatment in the past and it should not be used for simple shock/horror in my opinion. Those horror games disrespect the people and do a disservice to a topic that still remains stigmatizing for those who have mental illness.

Finally playing the Tomb Raider reboot. I bought Rise of the Tomb Raider during a holiday sale so I want to play them in order. It shares some story elements with the first Uncharted, but I find myself enjoying it nonetheless. I like the dynamic of vulnerability and strength in Lara's character. The gameplay mechanics are really solid and the action is addictive. I'm looking forward to playing the sequel when this one wraps up.
