@eagletrippin the output is still in HDR but a more washed out, less impactful version of it. Like going from HDR10+ to a couple of levels down. You sacrifice the top level, deeper darks and higher brights when you drop to -1 or -2 (as well as the sound quality).

@eagletrippin it's crazy that we're still waiting on it. Having to sacrifice true full HDR just to have a bearable smooth screen is pretty embarrassing for them to be honest.

not sure if it's mentioned in another article but the PS App will have a pretty important update, too. View share screens, remote play over mobile data (something Microsoft had an advantage at up until now)

@MattSilverado yeah it really dampens the excitement I think.

@somnambulance I forgot the first episode is free, I'll give it a go in the next few days!

I shouted out loud at that Wolverine reveal. Completely blindsided. The only other two times that's happened for me were the reveals for TLoU 2 and FF7 Remake.

They get a lot of (necessary) stick, but Sony knocked this one out of the park.

Overwhelmingly good. Fair play, they caught me off guard more than once!

Good points - I think doubly so considering their decisions to pull away from E3. Better be worth it.

I know this isn't very realistic given there's over 100 million potential customers, but I'd love to see a current-gen only Crash be developed. If we thought the remake looked good on nearly a decade old hardware - and it did - imagine how good it could look in 2 years or so!

@Divergent95 Still not jumped into 2 yet! I loved the first one but Before the Storm was so bad it put me off the franchise for a while. Probably going to jump into 2 while I wait for this to turn up in a sale.

@Rob_230 it should be a vital component of reviews to be fair. The score and/or sound design can make or break the entire experience.

@nessisonett what does it add to the Hitman 1 levels? I'm a bit confused at all this

It's essentially a last-gen game with a bit of polish. This generation has been a con so far, especially from Sony.

" bottom of the Premier League side Arsenal"

STOP! STOP! HE'S ALREADY DEAD!

@Gaming_Heretic_Aoife aye, we pay for it, and we're getting three objectively very good quality games included with it. Great month. =]

Great balance to be fair. Best month in a while. Too much entitlement around.

There's a giant football pitch version of it in gta too, been playing some murderous rocket league!

That deep snow is mental. I remember seeing characters move through it in RDR2 and thinking how long we'd have to wait to see that improved upon. This is a whole different level!

Apart from the misleading opening gambit, great article!

You can still buy the softcover version if you pledge for the next edition as well. I highly recommend thinking about the second issue as well, some great stuff coming up!

@Bleachedsmiles I bought the PSVR for it. Main attraction for me. A quick skim online suggests I definitely wasn't the only one.

I still can't get my head around how good this is, or that a Tetris game can be something transcendental. Trying to get my mates to check out the demo was so difficult because if it was me even I would have laughed it off. When somebody like Eurogamer gives it their GOTY you know it's something special.

@somnambulance yeah Before the Storm was dining out on the love and goodwill towards the original LiS. If it was a a new game it would have flopped hard. Cautiously optimistic about this one though without the baggage of a half-told story to weigh it down! Soundtrack sounds awesome too.

Great that you can keep HDR on with 120 fps! You had to turn it off in Warzone

@RavenWolfe81 haha XD

@Entrr_username you can...buy it? Support them? I don't think it's that big of an issue. If they pulled it from your library after you bought it that would be horrific.

@Total_Weirdo I still remember playing Medal of Honour on PS1 - the one where you storm the beaches on D-Day - abd thinking THIS IS LIKE BEING THERE HOW IS THIS SO REALISTIC

Even CoD WW2 is showing it's age nowadays so I'd love to see what a PS5 one can do

One of the best stories of the last generation for less than a pint. Mad.

Thoroughly underrated soundtrack.

One of the best looking games of last gen, too.

Bargain for £6

@ShogunRok Ridiculous. And yet weirdly it still feels like talking to people mainstream, they've either never heard of it or sort of know it from 20 years ago. I don't know if these things are made public but I'd love to see a breakdown of shark card sales vs actual game sales.

Biggest media product of any kind ever? Surely in the running! Although I wouldn't agree that it's partly down to gta online, I'd say it's mostly down to gta online.

I keep dipping my toes back into it every now and then, both story and online, bought it at launch on ps3, and I'm still noticing and finding new things. Open world peaked with this game. Here's hoping for a bigger better next gen title in the next five years or so.

Nice. Bound and Gris were the last great successes of this type of approach for me.

@Voltan oh thank god!

Makes the lack of Dolby Atmos even more baffling, especially with the adoption rate climbing and climbing.

@lolwhatno have you seen the steps involved? once you've managed to find one with the right dimensions.

Plugging in a usb is simpler than taking apart ssds and a ps5 and putting them together again, no matter which way you look at it.

You can get a plug in hard drive 2TB for less than £60 and they can store PS5 games, you just transfer over as and when you need. So much cheaper and simpler.

@TheIdleCritic And he goes, "I've got to go, love. Something's come up!"

Dr. Nowt

eeeeeeee, Octypussy

Fair play to HBO, absolutely knocking it out of the park with the casting so far!

Looking forward to seeing some classic Battlefront maps made by cleverererer people than me!

This is great news. We don't need any more PS4 Star Wars games, hopefully another year and a half (at least) until a new game means it'll be current gen only.

I forgot to download this one, I will now! Astro's Playroom and Mile Morales have implemented the activity cards and help cards really well, not really seen them on other games. As for the dualsense, your hands do have this weird painless slightly aching sense after 2 hours of gaming if you have the haptics on. I know a large amount of ps5 players don't use the haptics at all for this and other reasons. Here's hoping they aren't as wasted an opportunity as the light bar was on the dualshock 4 (only great examples of using it right were GTA V and Firewatch to my mind).

I predict this will definitely go down extremely well with people.

@mrtennis1990 honestly if I'd have seen the show without playing the games I'd have been bored. But playing the Witcher 3 for a while and then going into the show will probably help you to get more out of it.

A bit remiss to not mention the FANTASTIC score from the always on form Olivier Deriviere. It's such an important part of the experience.

Rashford the real leader of the opposition. Love it!

Is Everybody's Gone to the Rapture a horror? Don't get me wrong, it's one of my favourite games of all time, and probably one of the best examples of science fiction across any medium in the last decade, but "horror" is... playing fast and loose there.

I don't mind waiting. Not sure what all the faux-outrage is about. Anytime I dip back in to GTA 5 I'm always seeing things I haven't seen before anyway, and with online I reckon I've only played about 20% of all the games modes or heists. Happy to wait as long as it'll be current-gen only.
