@vikramsingh Good catch. Seems it's just the PS4 version after all — I've amended that in the article

@belmont Yeah, hopefully other publishers jump onboard.

@belmont Those games are not available standalone, they're only accessible if you're subscribed to Premium (even if you have the older versions). It's a bummer.

Hopefully Bandai Namco turns this around.

Really sad news. Rest in peace.

@KidBoruto There will probably be some sort of narrative framing that brings all these characters together to race, but I highly doubt there will be a full story to play through.

@BeerIsAwesome You're right. I don't know what I was thinking. Changed it.

@PenguinLtd I don't know if "fun" is the word I'd use, but I find the game very soothing. It's great if you want to unwind, and cleaning the levels top to bottom is very satisfying to me. It's probably not everyone's cup of tea but I really enjoy it.

@Mintie Awesome, looking forward to that.

@Reeneman @viktorcode Yeah, that sounds right.

@thefourfoldroot1 We had a press release earlier that says the game will be on a paid model rather than free-to-play, just FYI

@thefourfoldroot1 It's not specified whether this is free-to-play, we'll have to wait and see. My guess is that it won't be, though.

Full patch notes added to the article!

@NEStalgia @Jayslow Yeah, so to elaborate on this a little more. You can totally play this game just standing in one spot, you don't actually need a large space — just enough so you can move your arms around. I thought the Roomscale requirement was a bit odd in that sense. The only time I really had to move was in a couple of levels that want you to duck down.

Hopefully the patch comes soon and lets you play in the Standing mode, because Roomscale isn't entirely necessary.

I started playing a little earlier today. The combat seems quite complex but I'm enjoying it so far.

This looks neat! I like the style.

@KidBoruto Yes, presumably sometime in 2024 but Telltale hasn’t committed to a new date of any kind.

@Beerheadgamer82 It is free, and no I don't think it comes with any extra Trophies.

Looks like it'll be a lot of fun. This isn't really my cup of tea, but I must admit it looks pretty good.

@Thrillho Ah, my mistake. The price in the article refers to the Cultist Edition. I'll update to reflect that

@Dr_ENT There's a LOT in the works, including coverage of GT and Resi.

@KaijuKaiser Yes, out now!

@Sequel It has support for both PSVR and PSVR2

Can't wait to get started!

@Voltan Updated the article, thanks

Man, that's a shame. I really like Knockout City a lot, but as many have already said, there are so many service games and it's impossible for them all to succeed. Just not enough hours in the day to support everything.

I'd still encourage people to give it a go between now and June, as it really is a blast.

@Bamila I’d say they’re about as good as each other. They’re slightly different but if you enjoyed the remake you’ll definitely also like Cosmic Shake.

As always, if anyone has a question, let me know

@Stragen8 You'll probably quite enjoy this if you liked the remake!

I played a little of this on Switch, just a really creative and fun take on the roguelike formula. Would definitely recommend it.

It's not for me, I have two DualSenses that are perfectly fine and I don't need the extra functionality. It looks pretty good for what it is, though.

@RunGMhx It will be once it leaves early access, but I don't think we know exactly when that will be.

@kyleforrester87 You said it

Excellent work. Congrats to all involved.

It'll take some doing to beat 'Control' in terms of visibility in Google searches, but this is pretty funny.

Some really nice additions here. I've almost bought DMC5 and Sayonara Wild Hearts many times, and good to see a few classics make it in this time.

@Uncharted2007 That might be quite a misleading headline given this is an interview about Sky’s Aurora concert.

The idea of a WipEout movie is pretty cool, but yeah, just the mention of it makes we yearn for a brand new entry on PS5. It'd be so good.

Played so much Bust a Move 2 on PS1! I might have to nab this.

@straw-hat-crew We will indeed have a review of One Piece Odyssey

Great news. Beat Saber is one of the best VR games full stop, so it would've been a real shame if it didn't make it onto PSVR2.

You know what, this could be pretty good. The shots shown look lovely, it has some great talent involved, and the true story hook is interesting. Definitely has potential!

Cool! Hopefully it is for the full game, but I'm sure it'll be really good even if not.

Great stuff.

@Kidfunkadelic83 Yeah, it's unstoppable

Personally I’ve grown very attached to the axe. In the older games, the blades are wonderful and work so well, but in the newer style I don’t find them quite as enjoyable. The axe hits hard and has a satisfying rhythm, plus it can hit enemies at long range while the blades are restricted. I like both but I almost always choose the axe.

The spear throws a spanner in the works, though. It’s also really good. It’s very different to the others and doesn’t hit quite as hard, but makes up for that with its exploding spearheads — very satisfying to pop at the end of a combo, and you can build up stun pretty fast. I think the axe comes first but the spear is maybe my second favourite of the three.

@Orpheus79V @bauer_ Yes, that too!

@Areus Yes, it's on Extra, but putting it on Essential's monthly selection gets it out to a lot more people.

@KidBoruto Maybe hold off for now just to be on the safe side.

I was delighted when Ridge Racer 2 was finally confirmed, and utterly crushed to learn it's not available for individual purchase. Let me give you money, Bandai Namco!

Neon White is a great shout! I really want to get around to playing Sifu at some point, I just know I'll like it.

@kyleforrester87 I think I could've done it if I stuck with it, but I just grew so weary of the struggle. Especially when I learned I wasn't even close to the end, and that the second half is a potential slog. For what it's worth I really did enjoy most of what I did play, particularly when I discovered the whole underground zone by accident, and working through Raya Lucaria — it's an incredibly enchanting game in places.

@kyleforrester87 Elden Ring was a tough one for me. I've previously really enjoyed FromSoft's games, Dark Souls passed me by but I got on board with Sekiro, which I really liked, and I had a great time with Demon's Souls on PS5 as well. So I was definitely interested in Elden Ring, and I happily played it for a long time, slowly chipping my way through.

I reached what I think is about half-way, though, and I hit a brick wall in difficulty. Part of me wanted to push on and see the game to the end, but ultimately I threw in the towel. I realised I had stopped having fun, and with that epiphany I figured I didn't have much of a reason to stick around. Why play something that's just making me feel so deflated?

I think it's a highly commendable game and deserves its success, but I think the open world structure and some truly obtuse design eventually did me in. It's a seriously impressive achievement, just too broad, and I guess too tough, for me.
