@Smash41 It's a real shame. I think the game is fantastic, but the world of multiplayer and live service is absolutely brutal. You either make it big or you're out.
@KidBoruto Haha, I don't have the platinum. It wasn't really an aim of mine to get it. I've seen and done most of what the game has to offer, put in about 18 hours, and have 23 of 39 Trophies. Again — they weren't really a focus at all.
@Flippygruffle It's a fine game but when you zoom out, it doesn't add a huge amount to the overall story, certainly nothing pertinent to the Norse era games.
It's fine. It's free to join, and you get some points back for purchases which, as the article points out, is more than we were getting before. The collectibles are kinda whatever, but it's a neat idea. I dunno. It could be better, but it's not exactly doing any harm.
@themightyant That's right, yeah. It's partially government funded and Ubisoft is obligated to put the game out. If this wasn't the case I think the game might've been cancelled a while ago.
@riceNpea Apologies — there was a little confusion on our end. We reviewed the PS5 version, not PS4, but the wrong page was tagged. It should all be sorted now
The fact we've had two solid SoPs in a row gives me some hope that Sony has hit its stride with these now. It's taken a while for them to figure it out but I think the last couple they've shown have been spot on, so fingers crossed they can keep it up
@lindos As far as I understand it, this has no bearing on the performance of games at all. It's just another video output option for those using a 1440p monitor. As @Voltan says, instead of the game being displayed at 1080p and then upscaled, you get a nice crisp image.
This sort of tech talk isn't really my area, though!
@clvr They're both popular and targeting a similar audience, one has a game coming out soon and the other is just starting its latest series. It's an odd mash-up but I can see the logic from both sides.
@GoodGame To properly explain: You get Wonder Woman after completing the basic tutorials. The game gives you four other characters for free, and these will change over time (currently: Superman, Finn, Garnet, Reindog). So essentially you will always have access to five characters.
To unlock the remainder, you can earn in-game currency by just playing matches, which you then spend on characters. Earning these coins is a slow burn, but it's perfectly doable. Alternatively, you can unlock characters with a premium currency.
Rick is announced but has no release date, and is presumed to be arriving at some point during Season 1 This delay concerns Season 1 and Morty specifically.

@PlayStationGamer3919 I remember watching The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog a lot when I was younger, not sure if that's a different show?

Re: Goat Simulator 3 (PS5) - Bigger, Madder Sequel Is Udderly Ridiculous

Re: Dead Island 2 Is the First Early 2023 Game to Be Delayed
@Kairu Lots to look forward to!
Re: Dead Island 2 Is the First Early 2023 Game to Be Delayed
Wise decision, honestly. Early 2023 is mad.
Re: Multiple Voice Actors Discuss Becoming Kratos in God of War Ragnarok Dev Diary
@AhmadSumadi He did a great job with the older games, for sure.
Re: Control 2 Is Official as Remedy Enters Publishing Agreement
Nice. I liked the first one, but thought there was room for improvement. A sequel should be really good.

Re: Gotham Knights Gets 4-Player Co-Op Mode Heroic Assault a Month After Launch
Fixed the article — new mode comes 29th November, not October. Apologies for any confusion.
Re: Reminder: PS5, PS4 Loyalty Scheme PS Stars Is Available Now in Europe
The word "scheme" is used in this context all the time in the UK. There's nothing devious happening here, guys

Re: Temtem (PS5) - A Refreshing, Modern Take on the Monster-Battling RPG
@KidBoruto It didn't really grab me, to be honest. I think it tries a little harder than Pokemon but it isn't particularly well done in my opinion.
Re: Rumour: Make the Rally Car of Your Dreams in Codemasters' Upcoming WRC Game
@Luigia WRC 10 is great, and I'm sure Generations will be, too! My personal favourite is DIRT Rally 2.0, though

Re: Hands On: You Know What? Sonic Frontiers Might Actually Be Okay
@Cherip-the-Ripper I'm saying it might be okay. Haha
Re: Beleaguered Pirate Game Skull & Bones Has Been Delayed Yet Again
@themightyant That's right, yeah. It's partially government funded and Ubisoft is obligated to put the game out. If this wasn't the case I think the game might've been cancelled a while ago.
Re: Hands On: Goat Simulator 3 Doubles Down on the Dumb on PS5
@sanderson72 You're quite right! I've amended the article to make that distinction clearer.

Oh no
Re: Poll: What Was Your Favourite PS5, PS4 Game Shown at Sony's Latest State of Play?
Lots of good ones to choose from but my biggest surprise has to be Pacific Drive. Really interested in that one.
Re: Reaction: Sony's Struck State of Play Gold Not Once, But Twice in a Row
The fact we've had two solid SoPs in a row gives me some hope that Sony has hit its stride with these now. It's taken a while for them to figure it out but I think the last couple they've shown have been spot on, so fingers crossed they can keep it up

Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Available Now, Adds Folders, 1440p Support, Much More
@lindos As far as I understand it, this has no bearing on the performance of games at all. It's just another video output option for those using a 1440p monitor. As @Voltan says, instead of the game being displayed at 1080p and then upscaled, you get a nice crisp image.
This sort of tech talk isn't really my area, though!
Re: Latest PS5 Firmware Available Now, Adds Folders, 1440p Support, Much More
@AFCC If you use a display running at 1440p resolution, the PS5 now supports that natively.
