Its a very polarised poll. No option for Don't know / it will launch when it is ready.

As much as I hope the date sticks, I also want to jump into a Vice City which doesn't feel rushed and unfinished and full of bugs. I'm happy to wait, and until then I will keep on griefing in GTA V, and keep getting griefed by better players than I am, even after Ive been playing it for 11 years 😂

Excellent news! I played the original back in 2007, spent many hours glued to it. I have high expectations for this, and can't wait to fire it up on my PS5 PRO

@KingPev i just play solo, still love it after 20 years lol. There are several active communities for multiplayer. I just hope Epic make a new Unreal at some point.

Unreal Tournament 2004 and Deathloop (but not at the same time)

Good. Its a blatant Horizon rip-off

Looking forward to seeing marathon flop lol. Enough of the live service junk pls Sony

Finally starting to read the room lol. Hopefully they will move away from their love affair with live service now

I will be happy with MK 1, 2 & 3. Loved playing them in the 90's.

Imagine buying a DVD movie rated 18, then having to send the publisher your ID to watch it.

They are under the obligation of the law where they operate. For GTA and Rockstar it will likely be Rockstar Games UK Limited who manage the age verification in the UK, which will require full compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018, which is the UK's implementation of GDPR. If compliance is not met in full, they face massive fines and penalties.
The issue is that if it is all managed in a country where data protection laws are different, who knows what happens to your data, say USA and Rockstar Games Inc, then they would have to comply with the Privacy Act 1974, HIPAA, COPPA, and other state laws.
Like I said, the devil will bein the detail, and it will be worth taking time to read privacy policies for the verification process.

It is the fault of certain governments that this is happening, and they are leaving it to companies to implement. This raises serious privacy issues if you have to start sending every company your ID, there is a real danger of hacking and data breaches. Its not if, but when. If its a case of once verified your ID is deleted and never stored, then thats ok. If they keep it on file, and/or share/sell your info that is a big red flag. the devil will be in the detail.

Its a massive overreach by the government, for something that should be a parenting decision. But here we are.

If they only implement age verification where your IP is in an affected country, then my VPN at router level will be set to a country where it is not implemented.
I dont see any other way round it. Even then, they could block VPN access if detected.

Unfortunately I think it will be ID verification or no play.
I do think they will delete ID once verified 🤞 as data protection/gdpr requires companies to only keep data as long as its needed, which for verification is only a brief amount of time.

I hope the Goro controller has 4 thumbsticks 😂🎮

Aah, SO MUCH NOSTALGIA!
September 1992 was when I got MK on Mega Drive. So much gore lol. All the boomers were complaining about it (especially Scorpions fatality), and us GenX'ers couldn't get enough of it 😂
I can't wait for this kollection to arrive

Basically footage of most nights on the estate where I live 😂
Definitely buying this one!

There's a reason the River Thames runs through London. If it walked it would get mugged!
Ends will only feel authentic if it contains escalators with people stood on the wrong side, and angry people raging at them 😂

Horizon is right up there among the very best games ever! Loved watching haters and bigots totally lose their minds over Aloy's love interest in Forbidden West 😂

EA knows how to read the room.
Other publishers take note!

More live service junk!

Toasty Victory!

Ubisoft in general needs patching

Sigh.. More live service junk

I hope they maintain this. Wonder if they have actually learned how to read the room?

I'm glad they turned it down. Ripping off a wildly successful franchise is a rediculous idea. No originality.

Good! Horizon is a uniqe franchise, and and copies should be challenged with the full brunt of the law.

I'm a big star wars fan, but think Ubisoft suck! So im glad about this. Leave making great franchise games to great publishers like EA

I've never got on with Bandai Namco games, but this is an interesting development.

I'm glad they are focusing on single player, at least to start with. Then build on the game later on with things like legends.
I gave legends a go in the first game, but it wasn't my thing. The single player game was where i spent many hours and numerous playthroughs.
