@MightyDemon82 Second opinions depend on us getting more than one copy of the game, which is far from guaranteed unfortunately

@LordVile No, it'll only be compatible with the new PS5, which is built with that function in mind.

@bindiana Ah I forgot to include this detail — according to the website, the remaster will have the original voice acting and soundtrack! Added that to the article

@sanderson72 Yes

@MoorePs5 I'm almost certain we've done that before, yeah. As you can probably tell from the comments, the general consensus is neutral to negative on live service games — among our readers, at least.

@LifeGirl All your other Spider-Man stuff, of course.

@MagisterMagi Strange, it's showing as a Plus game on console!

@man-the-king https://store.playstation.com/en-us/product/UP2470-PPSA08765_00-COCOONSIEA000000

You get the PS5 and PS4 versions when you buy it

@Member_the_game If it helps I think Uno is also on mobile!

@Member_the_game All this does is beam whatever's happening on your PS5 to the Portal via Remote Play. So if your wife is playing Uno, you wouldn't be able to log in and play something else at the same time using this.

@lindos It's not a hands-on preview, no. Obviously I'd love to relay impressions based on playing the game but that'll have to wait, I'm afraid!

@lacerz Well I reviewed the PS5 version so it definitely exists haha!

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Thats insane! Pure coincidence, swear on my life. Great minds think alike!

@xDD90x It's coming to both PS5 and PS4 natively. I reviewed on PS5, and it does use haptic feedback quite nicely, but nothing mind-blowing

@Jake3103 I asked about this but the question wasn't answered. Hopefully!

Wow, surprising and sudden news. I don't subscribe to the idea that Jim was bad for PlayStation; evidently he contributed massively to the platform during his 30 years there, and launching the PS5 during COVID was no small feat. In fact, he's leaving PlayStation in a very healthy position. Big respect.

@Ken_Kaniff I don't think they did.

@Nf157 It's not really about putting a stop to advances in AI, it's about ensuring AI is used in fair ways agreed upon by all parties.

@Grimwood Fixed. I misread the press release and thought Nivalis and ION LANDS' next game were two different things!

@TheFakulty Updated the text — you're quite right, the game will be playable after 30th September. But it is being removed from sale on PS Store etc.

@Robocrop_Duster Same as the others, online required.

@Loamy Unbound is another great one — a shame it kind of flew under the radar as it has a lot going for it.

@TripleKing333 Yes, online required, unfortunately.

@bighal Yep! Big list of supported wheels here: https://www.ubisoft.com/en-us/game/the-crew/motorfest/news-updates/nV9xO7iPHNa7eHP3I2oBs/the-crew-motorfest-steering-wheel-and-peripheral-support

Updated with info about pre-orders / price.

@ColdHandGee Dang!

I'll be honest, I'm keeping that beep on. It's been part of my life since I got a PS3 at launch — I think I'd miss it if it wasn't there.

@LazyLombax Yes to both

Very interesting! I hadn't heard much about this at all, it sounds like something I'd enjoy.

Very confident this will be great, but hopefully we see some proper gameplay soon.

Really like the style of this. Hope this is good!

@MagisterMagi Could be code in a box, I don't know. Just repeating what the chart says!

@Cherip-the-Ripper Well I think the Xbox disc copies work for Xbox One and for the Series consoles, as opposed to PS5 and PS4 still being separate.

@Smash41 Bearing in mind this is only for sales of boxed copies in the UK:

PS5, 64%
PC, 21%
Xbox Series, 10%
PS4, 5%

@tabris95 Unfortunately I haven't played Chained Echoes so can't give you a proper answer! Sea of Stars will be on PS Plus Extra when it launches if that helps!

@nessisonett I mean there are errors in the text here and there but I didn't think it was that bad. I see typos in basically every game I play, though, so I'm sort of numb to it. My experience, though: not an issue, and I'm sure it'll be tidied up.

@Nyne11Tyme No grinding necessary, it's very nicely balanced like that. You can if you want to, and it doesn't have level scaling, so you'll notice the difference.

@UltimateOtaku91 By default you get two Relics at the start of the game — one gives you +100% HP and auto-heals your party after combat. The other one makes it much clearer when you correctly input the timed hits and blocks.

Others you can get at vendors in-game:

• Guarantee timed hits
• Chance of automatically timing blocks
• Ignore enemy defence
• Decrease damage taken

All optional of course, and you can toggle them on or off.

@Jayslow You can probably reach the credits a fair amount faster than 35 hours — I spent quite a lot of time exploring, looking for collectibles and doing side content before I pushed on for the ending. The good news is you can beeline it to do the main story, and mop up anything you miss afterwards — nothing is missable so there's no pressure to do everything before the end.

@Americansamurai1 Most can be earned by going through the main story and by completing major side quests (late/post-game) but you also need to open every treasure chest and find all the collectibles.

There's one Trophy that relates to defeating bosses while you have a specific Relic equipped — this is the real challenge. You don't find the Relic until very near the end of the game and the Trophy almost necessitates a second playthrough.

Any questions, hit me up.

@Smiffy01 I missed out on Blur but I thought Split/Second was brilliant, would love a revival of that, for sure.

@Smiffy01 @Splat Definitely not alone! I love OTT arcade racers. I yearn for more Burnout/Ridge Racer/MotorStorm/WipEout pretty much every day.

@WavesOfActivity No, although you can unlock different shotguns with different stats etc. But it's a pretty basic roguelike setup on the whole.

@KAIRU No, it looks like that's just a Steam thing.

@Ravix I worded that poorly in the story — the USB dongle comes included with the Pulse Elite / Explores, but will ALSO be available to buy standalone. Edited the article to clarify.

I thought it was perfectly fine. Geoff did a good job at setting expectations beforehand, so the few actual announcements made during the show were a pleasant surprise. I think the games presented mostly all look very strong.

It was never going to be the biggest, craziest showcase ever, but I'm pretty satisfied with what we saw. Nothing mind-blowing, but it didn't really need to provide that. Thumbs up from me.

@Northern_munkey I barely noticed any special haptics stuff, seemed like regular rumble to me.

Audio is fine although I did notice one or two instances where dialogue seemed slightly blown out.

I looked through the settings and as far as I could tell, there is no quality mode — it's 60fps and that's that.

This looks right up my street. Can't wait to check it out.

@Voltan It does, actually!
