@riceNpea PS4 Pro was fully announced during the September event; it wasn't first at E3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hme5BhT52_U&ab_channel=PlayStation

@riceNpea I said "around TGS", not "at".

@Czar_Khastik Maybe you could have a lovely browse of our linked reviews?

@Decoy_Snake Certainly not this one. Dead Rising is amazing.

@AdamantiumPriest GameStation was elite; I fondly remember the 4 for £20 deals on PS2 games.

@Zeke68 There isn't actually! It's pure gameplay.

@Diowine An 8/10 on our review scale is “Great”. I also gave Elden Ring, the base game, a 9/10. I think we’re fans of FromSoftware! Not everything is a 10/10.

@Fiendish-Beaver I believe you gain early access to the beta if you pre-order, but there will be a time when it's open for everyone to download.

@Gremio108 @Bydlak While you can access it earlier, I really feel the DLC is pretty much end-game content. We were given level 150 characters to play with at the preview event and it was difficult.

@CJD87 Thanks! Yes, all the new items and weapons will be usable in the base game too. The only thing that won’t carry back is the new levelling mechanic, which is exclusive to the DLC area.

I can’t say for sure how it would affect matchmaking, but since everyone is still connecting to the same server, I would assume the game will act the same and let you matchmake with non-DLC owners, and vice versa.

@KundaliniRising333 FromSoftware has said the play space of the DLC is about the same size as Limgrave.

As for side dungeons, I can only speak for the opening area, but there was one location that was just a staircase down into a cave that housed an immediate boss fight. It looked just like some of those underground dungeons you'd see in the early base game.

@Darude84 I'd strongly recommend leaving a fully levelled character at the end of the game and not jumping into New Game+. The characters we could choose from were all level 150 and the DLC was difficult.

If you want to play more of the game, I'd create a second character and mess around with it for a bit. Then you have your main character ready and waiting for the DLC.

Hey everyone, I can only speak to what I saw in the three hours of the preview session, but if you have any questions, feel free to copy me in and I'll try to answer them the best I can.

@tameshiyaku We remain independent, as we always have been. Please see here: https://x.com/hookshotmedia/status/1792962023854342231

@Voltan @Lup Yeah, those statues you repair when you interact with them to form a fast travel point.

Some of the people at the top of these companies really are just complete ghouls. People's livelihoods are at stake here.

@thefourfoldroot1 We don't really have the full details surrounding Infinity yet, but the purchases will have to exist on the PS Store also. I don't think Sony will be cut out of anything.

@Weebleman I'm afraid Teardown was PS Plus Extra, not Essential: https://blog.playstation.com/2023/09/28/teardown-is-coming-to-ps5-on-november-15/#:~:text=Now%2C%20I'm%20excited%20to,Plus%20Extra%20and%20Premium%20memberships).

The initial reaction to the PSN requirement from gamers was embarrassing, but Sony's really gone and stuck its foot in it now with this move. Such a bad decision.

Sigh. This is just really, really crap. How much money do you really save by closing a small but excellent developer in Roll7? Especially when you own the GTA series. Crap.

@MrBook If it makes it even better, I’m from (Derby) the city where Lara Croft was originally created! We have a road called Lara Croft Way.

@JalapenoSpiceLife I don't know if the Trophies automatically unlock yet, but there is a separate PS5 Trophy list. It's all the same requirements.

@atthegates Check your PS5 download of Fallout 4. Are you able click on it and open up a list containing the DLCs? That's where all my downloads are currently housed and I had to delete the PS4 downloads.

@Anke That's really strange, you should be offered the free upgrade. You own the exact same content as me, except I bought the base game and then season pass afterwards, and I'm being offered the free upgrade. Hopefully this issue is sorted out promptly.

@Anke Are you not able to get the free PS5 upgrade then mate?

@KundaliniRising333 Unfortunately not, but 60fps and a 4K resolution are assumed. The only official info out of Bethesda has come from the single blog post.

@Mikey856 We won't know until tomorrow, but I expect it'll be the same Trophy requirements as the PS4 version.

@Smash41 Bethesda hasn't said anything but the DLC will get the same treatment too — it's all included.

@Lyedecker It's a new native PS5 version so it'll have its own separate Trophy list.

@Anke Well we've got to make that happen then!

@Anke It looks to me like you've bought the Game of the Year edition, so you should be all ready for everything to be upgraded on PS5 for free

@Kidfunkadelic83 The release was brought forward to today: https://twitter.com/falloutonprime/status/1777532118089793697

@JamieH I believe it's 2296, after all the games.

Hey everyone, if you have any questions about the show, feel free to copy me in.

@BrockSmith That was cancelled seven years ago, so no.

@Tnr01 PS4 version is at a later date.

@thefourfoldroot1 A file listing the microtransactions and their prices was included with the review code sent out to us and other outlets. All reviews were published with the knowledge these were going live on launch day.

@Impossibilium I didn't get to test co-op, but I know you can only do it for the main missions. You can't freely play with other people and just explore the open world, for example.

The character creator is really good, it's a lot like past Team Ninja games. You could create a nice character using it. Since you create two characters and they both feature heavily in the game, it's worth investing the time to make them look as you want them.

@Tecinthebrain You're right, I always go into every single game I review hoping it's going to be good. Why would I want to take the time out of my day to play something I hope is bad?

@BrotherFilmriss I would my friend if there was anything much to say really! It has standard rumble features and all that, but not once did I think to myself "ah, there's the DualSense kicking in". The controls are very ordinary.

Hi everyone, if you have any questions not covered by the review, feel free to copy me in.

@Vacuumator @Dragoon1994 "Full game" in this context means the actual product being developed, not a playthrough from start to finish.

@Topov81 The game runs at 4K on Xbox Series X; that's the upgrade it has over PS5.

Hey everyone, I know a 6/10 score will probably turn a lot of people off, but I just wanted to say I had a really good time with Alone in the Dark. It's easily one of the most enjoyable 6/10 games I've played in a while. Once it's taken some patches, I think there's a neat game here.

@Neptunes Square Enix has been very upfront about the fact it wasn't planning DLC for Final Fantasy XVI before launch. What you're saying isn't true.

https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2023/05/no-final-fantasy-16-dlc-planned-said-to-be-a-one-off-game

I've been playing this game all week and can't get enough of it. Excellent stuff.

@breakneck Thanks for pointing it out, for some reason the original game didn't appear when searching for the rankings on Metacritic. It's in the list now.

@NightshadeNL Having played the game through to completion, it does have poor visuals.

@AgentCooper Not that I’ve seen, but I’ll post an article once it goes live 🙂

@IAmAshCohen17 @ChrisDeku Review code hasn't gone out to any outlets yet, including us.
