I played the first one a lot, very happy with this!

Hell yeah that's awesome!

Love this idea!

@Kidfried Haha, well I also really liked Get Back, so maybe I'm just a fan of these long form, fly on the wall series.

I guess the biggest difference between that and PsychOdyssey is the structure. Get Back has three episodes of two or three hours each, covering a time span of roughly three weeks. PsychOdyssey has 32 episodes of anywhere between 20 minutes and 90 minutes each, covering a time span of roughly seven years.

Get Back is a more beat-for-beat look at what occurred during the band's practice sessions and preparing for their album. PsychOdyssey tells a story that spans a much longer stretch of time, so naturally it's more edited down (apparently they captured around 5,000 hours of footage). Most of the documentary is candid footage but it's peppered with talking heads too.

They're quite different documentaries in some ways, but both are pretty raw looks at creative people collaborating on an artistic project. Both are worthwhile in my book, but such an in-depth series about how game development operates is so rare.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner To be honest, I wouldn't. As with a lot of series, I think if you were to cherry pick specific episodes, you'd lose out on so much context. My recommendation is to start at the start and watch it through to the end — or at least, see whether you're interested enough to carry on.

I totally understand it's a long series and not everyone can set aside the time, but it's so worth it if you can make it work.

@themightyant You could always hold a controller while you watch, it'll be like you're playing a Hideo Kojima game

@Mostik @themightyant @Cherip-the-Ripper We watched one or two episodes most nights for a couple of weeks or so. It is a long series but so worth watching, and definitely doable if you pace it out.

@Mythologue Rubber ducks float, they don't hit the bottom.

@DualWielding Yep!

This looks very promising!

@Nightcrawler71 It will depend on your tastes of course, but for me, the fact it's a straight up action game with super-fun combat is a huge part of the appeal. On top of that, I really fell for the characters and the story here, which I felt was a weakness in 7 Remake.

@jdv95 Haha, no trouble!

@jdv95 3pm was definitely the embargo we were told! Anything else you've heard was false.

@Stevemalkpus Yes

@somnambulance Yes! Summer Game Fest's showcase goes straight into Day of the Devs and then Devolver's show all in one stream, so we'll leave it rolling for the duration.

@themightyant There was a brief period where the timer kicked in once you started the download, but as far as I recall, that was fixed when the new PS Plus tiers were introduced

@themightyant The time is only used up when the game's active, so no, downloading won't eat into it.

@Danloaded It isn't in the top 40, so it didn't chart at all this time.

@thefourfoldroot1 It's in the works.

@Dobbos You technically can, but you would need to adjust your "height" in the game's settings menu.

@kyleforrester87 It is official art for the show, I just mounted a Geoff clock on it

@Tr3mm0r It's WrestleQuest's key art

@pushL7 Haha thanks!

@ShogunRok Completely agree. Lots of great games were shown off (and there really were a lot of games shown), but when it comes to first-party, I was expecting much more. Spider-Man 2 was a given, and it does look fantastic, but the lack of PS Studios' other major players really stood out to me. Like Sammy says in the article, we're no wiser about Sony's output coming out of this presentation.

Aside from everything else, I love the typos and other errors in the text. Really lends some credibility.

@Stevemalkpus People who like PowerWash Simulator, SpongeBob, or both.

@bpomber There are similarities, for sure! I guess the main difference is that you can place down commands anywhere on a stage's grid in Humanity, while the Clank puzzles have set spots where you can put those node things.

@Gaia093 I'd say a playthrough of the story mode might average out to about 12-15 hours, maybe? And then of course there's all the user-made stages and the level editor to mess with afterwards.

@KidRyan Evidently!

PS1's startup is iconic but I have an equal amount of love for the PS2 sound. I like all of them to an extent, but the first two consoles are definitely at the top.

Looks alright, you know!

I've been saying for a long time that adaptations of Sony's big games should be animated. The sort of spectacle you expect from God of War and Horizon, for example, would be near impossible to pull off properly in live action, in my opinion. Exciting that there's some animation to come!

Incredible trailer.

@zebric21 Unfortunately I don't think any of them are on Extra, so you may have to take a chance on one if you want the bobblehead I can personally recommend Sifu, Cult of the Lamb, and Neon White!

Really looking forward to this.

@djlard I'm not sure I follow, to be honest. If you're suggesting I score Meet Your Maker on the few levels they had ready during the pre-launch window, that seems wholly unfair given that player-made levels are the entire point of the game. Allowing a few days or so gives users some time to get acquainted with the game and make some levels. Basing the review on that — rather than levels made by the game devs and some journalists — will be a far more accurate assessment of what to expect from the game.

@djlard As I mention at the end of the review, I’ll be giving the game a little time out in the open before I settle on a final score. Given the game is geared so much towards its users and what they create, it would feel weird to base a score on what a handful of people came up with pre-launch.

It's a shame, but I can't say I'm surprised. It's been on shaky ground for years.

@FinneasGH I believe you have to pay if you want early access (founders packs etc) but the game will eventually be free for everyone.

@Burnish1619 Haha — I do recall a few choice phrases that kept cropping up, now you mention it.

@Slippship Rate it and maybe it'll show up

Updated the article with more details.

It might finally be time to grab Sifu.

At this point, nothing really surprises me about this ordeal. The main feeling I have about all this nonsense is that I just want it to be over.

@Kidfunkadelic83 That's the second time I've done that this week Fixed!

@Nepp67 Just to add to what Liam said, all of our guides are produced by us from scratch.

@hookedWORM17 You approach a patch of bubbling water, then start the fishing minigame. There are actually a few variants, but basically, all you need to do is press Square at the right moments — on the green segments around a circle. Actually, you technically don't need to do that; it just speeds up the fishing, which is important because time advances while you're fishing (or sailing).

@NEStalgia Not sure what you're talking about.

Mirror's Edge was so great at the time, loved it. Also got really into Battlefield with the Bad Company games, especially played the second one online a ton.

@Deoxyr1bose It debuted at number 21, if you're interested!
