Looks excellent. Very find memories of playing Centipede. This'll certainly be going in my library.

Strange presentation. Had big hopes for the flagship headset but the lifted review embargo brought with it a slew of mediocre to bad reviews. Shame.

@ThaBEN They are PC products. They work on PS5 but that's not the intended audience. InZone is Sony's branding for PCs like PlayStation is their branding for consoles.

@ShogunRok You could always create an email filter that stops alerts for any of those emails containing £0.00. That way you only get alerted by actual purchases.

@MrElfenSafety If it's anything like what I just had it doesn't crash, as such, it was just showing a blank PS+ screen. I held down the PS button to go to home, everything else was fine, so could still look at the collection via the store. But the PS+ screen did stay frozen for quite some time. Before finally showing what it's meant to.

@get2sammyb Seems a bit naughty they're showing stuff in the catalog that isn't actually available, unless you want to pay for it. I've just signed up for the Extra, went to download Project Cars 3 but no. Number 2 is also showing but you'd have to pay for that too. Bit of research and people were complaining about this on 6th of June. Not sure if there are similarly affected titles. Don't suppose you have any idea?

As someone who's played almost all the F1 games I can say, with all honesty, the music track will be turned off the moment I start the game. Hopefully before a note is even played.

@Grimwood I know a couple of people who thought the same as you and sent theirs back. So with that in mind, that and I think the Pulse look awful anyway, I'm hoping these headsets have good integration with the PS5. Otherwise I guess I'll have to go with the Steelseries 7P+ and get used to the lack of integrated game/chat volume adjustment.

@TheCollector316 They aren't using PlayStation branding because it's for the PC market not the PlayStation market. It's just that certain items will also be 'perfect' for the PS5.
I imagine they're trying to find a bigger piece of the PC action now that their games are being released to that market.

@Bleachedsmiles Same here. Been looking at the 7p+ but am hesitant because of the lack of game/chat mix. I'm assuming, these being Sony, they'll incorporate that function.

@theMEGAniggle You're putting words in my mouth. I never mentioned whether I liked or disliked it. I merely said I wasn't impressed. Hardly makes me a "hater". Seems people are not only easily impressed but also quick to cast aspersions on other people's character.

Guess I'm in the minority. Can't say I'm impressed. It's like creating the most compact electric car that then has to drag around a massive caravan that houses the battery etc. How's that clever or impressive? Seems people are so easily impressed these days. But maybe that's a good thing, considering the current climate.

Fair do's that looks pretty slick and fun. A remake that actually looks far more impressive than its predecessor without losing the soul. I think that'll most certainly be finding it's way into my game shellection.

@Sir_funkington Never had drifting sticks but certainly know the pain of the dodgy R2 on the PS4 controllers. I went through 4 controllers. I play a lot of racing games and so it's a big issue. First time I realised how bad they were was on Tearaway Unfolded. I got to a part and got stuck. Seemed impossible till I looked up a video and saw a bridge, I was controlling with my R2 trigger, was only extending half the distance it was meant to be. Making crossing the gap impossible... but also explaining why I'd been doing so bad in racing games. 😂

I like these kinda quality of life features but I really wish Sony would spend more time sorting out the basics of the app. When you type in 'exactly' the name of the game you're searching for and it comes up 27th in the results list, preceded by totally unrelated items, that's pretty poor.

@Titntin Not defending them, as I think on the whole it's been dismal the way Sony's approached this, but I did receive an email, with very brief descriptions about the upcoming changes, back in April.

My PS+ runs out today. I'm in the UK and I'm not renewing till I can see what's available in the tiers and am actually able to pay for it in one go. I'm not paying a bit now then upgrading at a later date. So looks like I'll have a couple of weeks to catch up on offline only games. Sony not doing a great job for kick starting this new 'service'.

Can't stand cats so wasn't interested at first. Having seen the trailer on State of Play I have to admit this looks a very interesting title.

Don't go looking for it. If you haven't noticed it's for the best. 🤣 Maybe it's just me. I'm an illustrator so part of that means knowing how light plays off things. In Horizon's cut scenes, to me, it's all kinds of wrong. I know it's their artistic decision but I just feel its been very over done.

@MightyDemon82 Apparently it's only used on the PS5 version. So if you're playing it on the PS4 you wouldn't see it. To me it stands out like a sore thumb with everyone being lit from all angles, even when they're in shaded areas.

I've been playing performance mode and have been pretty happy overall with visuals. My only gripe is the hero lighting that makes every cut scene look like it's being performed in front of a green-screen.

@__jamiie It's not laziness It's due to the regions games were originally released.
And also it "is" "frames" people are talking about. The issue is Pal frame rates not playing nicely with modern TV refresh rates. NTSC's approx 30fps works well with 60hz whereas Pal 25fps doesn't. 25 into 60 ain't happening. Not smoothly anyway.

@Nepp67 Excellent. Thanks for the info. I guess I wasn't the only one worried. Can breath a sigh of relief now. 😂

I've got it pre-ordered and eagerly awaiting a co-op session with a friend tomorrow. Got a lot of time for this company. They've not let me down so far.

It's the wiring trees with SIM leaves that I want.

@Waluigi999 I guess to a degree. But then most advanced racing cars are. But I'm talking about Hybrid engines/motors rather than electrical recovery systems.

@gollumb82 lol It's fine, I'm messing. Likewise I have no interest in this hybrid/e-racing. I'm absolutely dreading the day F1 becomes hybrid.

@gollumb82 Ummm... you're suggesting Codemaster are going to not have WRC cars in their version of the WRC? 🤔

@Nepp67 I'm not saying you're wrong. In fact I hope you're correct. One of the other commenters said similar, adding "you may as well say it's set on this universe". Well why didn't they? There has to be a reason they've chosen not to set it in our universe. And that's what worries me. If they want to include historical canon into the game. Or worse, use it as a way to lay the story for a more futuristic PUBG.
Either way I'm rooting for your optimism and not my cynicism.

I was hooked, right from the point I saw Dead Space, all the way up till I read PUBG. Hopes can sometimes be very short and cruel.

Managed to get one from Game a couple of days ago. Paid for the more secure insured delivery. I was then made aware I'd received it via a congratulatory email from Game. Found it outside. 😖Courier hadn't even bothered ringing the doorbell. That extra money for delivery was well worth it... 😕 guess at least they didn't steal it.

Thanks for the heads up. Just pre-ordered one from Game. So hopefully that'll arrive with me next week.

I'll certainly be picking this up... once I've managed to grab a PS5.

@iStarkill Unfortunately you need the 2.1 HDMI as it's actually a built in feature of that.

Got the 120hz and got the VRR. So raring to go... if only I had a PS5. 😕

@themcnoisy I guess we're never going to agree since I don't think the games are expensive. Especially when you consider value for money. When a collection of games or game, that'll give me many many hours of enjoyment, costs far less than one evening down the local pub I'm hard pressed to see why people are bemoaning today's pricing. I probably look at past pricing because to me the price of games, in my opinion, has stayed roughly constant or dropped. Unlike other vices in life that have absolutely sky rocketed in price and are outrageously priced these days. So I can't help but think people are spoilt when they begrudge paying for something that'll give them enjoyment for many hours, weeks, possibly even months. There's not many of life's pleasures that come so cheaply as games.
As for the price of PCs I remember paying £13,000 for an Apple Mac back in the '90s. 🤣

@themcnoisy And? I'm not exactly sure where you were going with that, you seemed to falter then stop abruptly without having made a point. So Lemmings sold 70,000 copies but it was made by a company of 4 people not the vast Rockstar* that company has become today. But, all that aside, I was taking my pricing from consoles of around '92. So take the 2nd Sonic game, since the 1st was quite often bundled... Sonic 2 sold over 7.5 million copies. Hardly niche like you're trying to suggest. That and the Gremlins 2 game were selling at £49.95. That's well over £100 at today's exchange rate... whilst not being so "niche". So I'm afraid I think that old argument you're trying to dismiss is still valid.

Strange how people view pricing these days. Basically they're releasing the set of games for the same price as the original cartridge would have cost. Or, put another way, using inflation, this set works out at £48 cheaper than the original cartridge. As that would have been roughly £88 today. Gasp and scream at the outrageous pricing of those £70 PS5 titles. 🤣

@Th3solution lol Nah, don't change it. It's class. Reminds me of my young days on the Atari. 🤣

@Th3solution Love your avatar.

I'm happy with this. I'm not a fan of subscription services anyway. I don't have any TV/movie or music subscriptions, PS+ is my only subscription service.
Also I don't think the games are expensive. £70 is a night on the town these days. Compare that with weeks to months of enjoyment gaming, 'nuff said.
The majority of people, these days, seem happy to pay out money to avoid actually owning anything. Call me stupid but I'll stick to paying for what I actually want.

@RevGaming You were doing well till you dropped the "Any real gamer" bomb. From that point you became as big an arse as the person you're moaning about.

I've just checked. Had to install the latest update. After restart everything is running absolutely fine. (In the UK)

@Quintumply Thanks. Time will tell, I guess.

Any ideas if this has online co-op? To me it's shocking how this is missing throughout Lego games. Would have given a perfect opportunity for any parent, who doesn't live with their child, to spend some online time together in something equally enjoyable for adults and children alike.

Pretty mind blowing stuff.

I was very impressed. The game looks like it'll be great fun and certainly looks the part. I'll be getting it for sure.

I might buy it if it ever drops to around £5. This was the 'amazing' game I was getting a PS5 to play. Having seen the hot mess that was released instead I'm now awaiting other, more important, games that are just over the horizon.

If there's no "Driving in my Car" by Madness then it's no purchase for me.

As above, none. I can only think of a few examples that have worked, none of which interest me in the slightest.
