I know there is the increasing feeling that SOny don't "need" E3 as much anymore, but even so - if they saved big console reveals and launch title footage for E3 they would Wipe. The. Floor. I think E3 would be a good way to go.
As long as they find a way to allow the system not to overheating and get all up in yo' face with the cooling fans. Something Sony failed with miserably this generation across 3 different models.
It's a great list, nice to see this type of feature. It would be nice to see the reviewers make an attempt to even mention the soundtrack in the reviews a little more often (only Luna got a decent write up in this list. Gris, DS, Golem all got a sentence.). It's something severely lacking when the soundtrack (and, even more criminally, sound design) can and often is so important to the core experience.
But thanks to features like this, maybe it's on the up!
I'm not sure it proves anything, I watched it a couple of times just to get my head around what they were announcing. If they sell a few million then fair play. Still an incredibly bizarre move this late in the game!
So what if there are microtransactions? CDPR are a great company who don't exactly rip you off, you get more money for your pound than most other games. Happy to support even more content if they do implement them, particularly as it increases the likelihood of Cyberpunk being a long term game.
I was thinking about heading back into Watch Dogs 2 for the hugely addictive player hacking mode again, unfortunately I've lost my disc so WD2 would be hugely appreciated! (and thus save me about eight quid)
Any word on the sound design, or soundtrack/ accompanying score if there is one? Particularly interested in sound design for psvr games as it's can be so much more important than regular games.
Games like this should stick to the Switch, but it's easily one of the best gaming experiences of the last few years. I'd be tempted to buy it for a second time just for the trophies.
The best way to do another one would be a 1970s adventure with Chloe Frazer's dad. He was a big adventurer/treasure hunter, Chloe alluded to a few of his adventures in Lost Legacy.
@PhantomXIII well A. Knight already had playable Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood and Batgirl, so in essence we've already had a family game. This would just be more of the same.
I still think it's mental that they gave away such a well developed, depth, lengthy, repeatable game away for free. It's arguably the one must have (I'd put it level with Astrobot or even higher for the diversity)
Nice review! But it's quite remiss to not even mention the score/soundtrack which is both incredible and an important part of the game. I'm not sure why game reviews consistently pay little to no attention to this important pillar of games.
@RainbowGazelle unfortunately, the reality is that most online games would simply either not exist or not be as good/stable. Cosmetics or similar things that don't enhance your chances of winning don't do any harm.

Re: Poll: What PS5 Box Design Should Sony Adopt?
I'm not sure why there'd be a "PS5 Required" tag on a PS5 box... but then again there's a reason they have allergy warnings on packets of nuts :I
Re: PSVR Reaches Sales Milestone of 5 Million Units
@Flaming_Kaiser neither can I. I hope it improves in the PS5 era too.
Re: Sony Explains PS5 Logo's Similarities to PS4
I thought it spoke for itself really. It makes total sense.
Re: PS5's Most 'Unique Elements' and 'Biggest Changes' Have Yet to Be Announced, Says Sony
@dbunny if the PS Home servers were still going it would still be incredibly busy, day in day out. One of the big gaming tragedies of the last decade.

Re: PSVR Reaches Sales Milestone of 5 Million Units
@Flaming_Kaiser I'm sure whoever called it a failure would agree with you. It's incredibly niche. I love my psvr.
Re: PSVR Reaches Sales Milestone of 5 Million Units
Less than 5% is still incredibly niche. I hope the psvr2 gets pushed/invested in a lot.

Re: Final Fantasy VII on PS4 Just Got Its Most Important Patch Four Years After Launch
@SuperSilverback still never worked out how to get a date with him!
Re: Game of the Decade: Grand Theft Auto V Set the Precedent for Persistent Online Worlds
Six years after launch, and I'm STILL finding new things in the huge, huge open world. Mental.
Re: Job Listings Suggest a Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order Sequel Is Already In Development
Just, please, for the love of Yoda, get rid of the silly amount of bugs and monsters next time.
Re: Talking Point: What Free January 2020 PS Plus Games Do You Want?
Have any Square Enix titles been on PS Plus? They don't strike me as that type of company.
Re: Dreams Won't Support PSVR at Launch, But It's Coming 'ASAP'
@themcnoisy how easy is it to find cool new little things people have created? Like, do you search for a tag or a # or something?
Re: Dreams Won't Support PSVR at Launch, But It's Coming 'ASAP'
Dreams with the PS5 version of PSVR (PSVR2?) could genuinely be a game changer for VR as a whole. I hope they take their time with this.

Nice of you to give a shoutout to the community for this!
Re: The Internet's Up in Arms Because CD Projekt Red Can't Confirm or Deny Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer Microtransactions

The area just outside Areis' mam's house looks genuinely jaw dropping!
But also... Moogle teeth.... unsure!

Re: Painterly Platformer GRIS Confirmed for PS4, Launches Next Week
@SinisterPledge you had me at "hides" 😂

Re: Wake Me Up When The Game Awards End with Green Day Performance and Reveal
Nice! Also, anything to give the show more attention from people who otherwise may have never heard of it is great. Excellent marketing tactic.
Re: Rumour: PS5 Release Date and Price Allegedly Leaked, But It's Just Some Guy on Twitter
There are loads of sites that are basically rumour mills. Come on guyssssss
Re: PS5 Will Save You Lots and Lots of Time
@DarthAmmii Switch is part of the 8th generation. 9th generation will be marked by the arrival of PS5/Project Scarlett.

Re: Hideo Kojima Reckons There's a Reason Death Stranding Didn't Connect with American Critics
Some spoilt brat at Edge spitting his dummy out shouldn't be news, but it discredits a long running and at times credible outlet.
Re: No, This Isn't a New WipEout on PS4
@leucocyte no, it's already ridiculously impressive.
Re: PlayStation Store Hits New Low as PSN Avatar Sells for $99
This has actually been out for ages. It was taken down and re-added this week, which makes it even dodgier.
Re: Overwatch 2 Shares Multiplayer With the Original Game, Cosmetics Not Left Behind
Most expensive dlc ever. Very clever, Blizzard!
Re: Uncharted 5 Could Be in Development, and Nathan Drake Voice Actor Wants In
The best way to do another one would be a 1970s adventure with Chloe Frazer's dad. He was a big adventurer/treasure hunter, Chloe alluded to a few of his adventures in Lost Legacy.

Re: Rumour: Is the Unannounced Batman Game Called Arkham Legacy?
@PhantomXIII ah yeah sorry, it's usually referred to as the bat family!

@PhantomXIII well A. Knight already had playable Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood and Batgirl, so in essence we've already had a family game. This would just be more of the same.

Re: Frostpunk - Alternate History City Builder Survives Against The Odds
@johncalmc understandable! Do you know if there's a demo planned for before the release?
Re: Astro Bot Dev Team Is Working on PS5 Demos - Will These Become The Playroom 2?
I still think it's mental that they gave away such a well developed, depth, lengthy, repeatable game away for free. It's arguably the one must have (I'd put it level with Astrobot or even higher for the diversity)

I enjoyed the read, though.

Re: PS5 Will Have a 4K Blu-Ray Disc Drive
Best bit of news so far. Get saving £100 a month, folks - this is gonna be one hefty price tag!
Re: PS5 Will Let You Choose Which Parts of a Game You Want to Install
Uncharted & The Last of Us Remastered already do this. Probably others. Good to see it will be more commonplace!
