Yeah, that's shockingly bad for Xbox Live on its own. But have to admit if I had an Xbox (which I expect to eventually) I'd be all over Game Pass, which is phenomenal value and easily makes up for it.

This is exactly the kind of trailer that puts me off this game. Not what I want to see.

Fantastic news, can't wait to try this! Very curious to see if the PS5 demo is actually the PS5 version or just the PS4 with some minor enhancements. Fingers crossed it's the former.

It's an awful situation. Sadly demand dictates this kind of thing so there must be idiots out there that are paying over the odds. Madness.

Wow, that’s quite a wait for the PS5 version. I won’t even consider picking it up until that point but hope that everyone that’s already got it can enjoy it a bit more with the new updates.

Could be cool, but it's a loooooong way off so it's hard to really care all that much at this stage.

Didn't expect a demo for this so that's very cool, but I think I'll pass and just wait for the full release. Don't want to spoil anything and I'd rather play it all in one go than wait a few weeks to see the rest. Loved the first game and can't wait to get stuck into this one.

Oh dear. This is vapourware until we hear otherwise as far as I’m concerned, after Deep Down I won’t be getting my hopes up.

I know it’s not much footage but that already has me more hopeful than the original trailer. Fingers crossed and looking forward to more.

Ridiculously tough choice, but in the end I went for The Last Guardian. My runners up would be Bloodborne, The Last of Us 2, Uncharted 4 and God of War.

Very torn currently. Destruction Derby-esque car action? Sweet, sign me up. Fortnite-esque "larger than life" characters? Yawn. Really need to see some basic gameplay footage without all the added pizazz and slowdown camera work.

@Jimmer-jammer That's my one complaint too. The gameplay looks fantastic but I'd hope for a little more variation in the environments, hopefully that's something that'll become more apparent when we see more of the game. Not a dealbreaker if not but it would make that high price a little less of a block.

@rachetmarvel Diversity is great I agree, didn't meant to suggest that it should look like GG. Just think this looks a little generic. Unless you're a big KoF fan I don't think it looks like anything exciting or new, and doesn't have as much artistic flair as its rivals.

I'm sure the gameplay won't disappoint but have to admit it looks a little lacklustre compared to Guilty Gear Strive.

Great trailer, haha. Haven't played Fall Guys a great deal TBH but I've been tempted to go back on PS5 to try it with higher frame rates.

I used cards once when a friend beat my time in an Astro Bot speed running level. But apart from that, I’ve completely ignored all these features so far. Might change eventually though as I get through more games.

The quality of games heading our way in the next year or two is frankly bonkers, more like the kind of thing you'd be expecting mid-cycle, IMO. What a start to the PS5 generation.

I went for Goodbye Volcano High, Ghostwire Tokyo and Disco Elysium, but this is a ridiculous list where picking just 3 is incredible difficult! Can’t wait for God of War, Horizon, Balan Wonderland, Mass Effect, Little Nightmares 2, Ratchet and Clank...too many!

I love every single tiny thing about this game already. Can't wait. Thanks for the interview!

Interesting reading the comments here - I ended up getting both Ghost of Tsushima and FF7R for Christmas and am figuring out which one to play after I finish Demon's Souls. So far I'm leaning towards FF7R but we'll see.

For me it's easily the best controller Sony have ever done. I've always liked the DualShock series but it's never been my favourite, and I've generally preferred the pads on rival consoles - big fan of the Xbox One and Switch Pro controllers, for example. But the DualSense is pretty much perfect and I absolutely love it.

Nice lineup this month, very happy with that. Not sure I'll get round to Greedfall but pretty sure I'll be giving the other two a go.

Relate a lot to this. I've put in probably around 1000 hours in Rocket League over the years but I just wasn't playing anything else I forced myself to uninstall it. Went back when I got my PS5 but quickly realized I was enjoying myself more playing new games, so it's gone again now and I'm working my way through the backlog. Might go back one day but trying to resist.

It's a spectacular remake. I started the Soulsborne series with Dark Souls and by the time I backtracked to Demon's Souls to see where it all began, it felt so cumbersome that I quickly bounced off it after the Tower Knight and went back to replay the other games instead, promising myself I'd come back to it one day. I didn't in the end and now I'm glad, because experiencing it this way is so much better. Just about to complete my first playthrough and I've really enjoyed. Maybe not as much as Dark Souls or Bloodborne as the boss fights are showing their age a little bit at times, but it looks absolutely spectacular and I'm already looking forward to my next build/playthrough.

Very much feeling this list. Trails of Cold Steel is the only one I haven't played so far but I think I'm gonna have to start with the first one and work my way up, which is gonna take quite a while!

I'd love to pick it up but I'd want to experience it in VR and I don't have my PS4 anymore, so I'm hoping that PS5 VR supports PS4 titles when it eventually arrives.

I think it says a lot about Astro's Playroom that, even as a pretty fanatical Soulsborne fan, I was putting off playing Demon's Souls to finish off finding all the collectibles and easter eggs. It's a joyful little game and I'd love to see much, much more of it.

I'd love for this to be really good, but not so sure. Fingers crossed.

I love pixel art and old school games, but this doesn't appeal to me much, unfortunately.

It's a fascinating, albeit ugly saga, that really brings into question the state of games development today. For all of its development time Cyberpunk 2077 has been the poster child for big, ambitious, AAA-heavyweights. Every delay saw countless games adjust their release schedules, every demo looked impossibly good, etc.

But they obviously reached a point where they just had to get the game out there, no matter what. But to me they've ended up as the poster child of the warnings you hear of AAA development being unsustainable. The answer to that is higher prices and/or longer development times, as we're seeing with Sony's first party efforts. If a game like Cyberpunk was polished enough from the off and lived up to all its lofty promises, I could totally see the justification for charging £60/70/whatever. But if we keep trying to cram in genre-defining experiences to the old way of doing things, you risk getting...gestures...this. And now we have disappointed fans and heartbroken devs that have put years of their lives and all that crunch time into making something they truly care about, only for it to crash and burn when it's out in the wild. It's a really sad tale and I hope CDPR can turn it around without demanding even more unreasonable working conditions of their employees.

God, the critics in here are so damn tedious. Have you really got nothing better to do than crap on a fun little end of year screenshot comp? Grow up.

Great work from all involved!

Crazy, crazy times. 2020 continues to surprise right to the death, and not in a good way. Can't imagine how tense the meetings between Sony and CDPR must have been. Oof.

I'd be amazed if we get the update before the summer, and I wouldn't even be that surprised if it was next Christmas.

Logically you'd think that the PS4 Pro would have been the new "base" PS4, but then you'd have a situation where Sony have two 4k consoles competing against each other. So I can totally see why they'd want to make the difference a little more distinct going forward. Want budget focused 1080p gaming with a huge library? PS4. Want 4K with all the bells and whistles? PS5. Anything else would muddy that proposal considerably.

Really like the look of this, very much into these kinds of games. Even if it isn't perfect it seems one to watch for a sale at the very least.

I was never brave enough to finish RE7 so I doubt I'll pick this up, but it looks absolutely fantastic. shudder

Ah didn't know about the next-gen update - will look forward to that!

Every day a new headline makes me want to buy this less and less. Hope the PS5 version reflects a more polished final product. I feel so bad for the developers that have poured so much of their lives into this and crunched so badly to get it even to this state. Not their fault and I wouldn't want to villify them.

If ever a game was to be a poster child for "AAA games are too big, are sold too cheaply and cost too much to make", this is it. This model of development is not healthy or sustainable.

This is an excellent review though so far and I think made the right call in being unscored for now. I hope CDPR can fix the issues and make everyone happy as it's clear there's loads of potential, but I also hope it learns its lessons ahead of its next project.

I am totally up for this. Looks gorgeous, chilled and wholesome. Sign me up.

Ohmygosh that looks lovely. Yes. Please.

First thing I thought after watching this was "Cowborne"

This is the one Dynasty Warriors esque game I'll actually play. Sounds great and much more interesting than the usual template for these kinds of things. Reminds me I need to get P5R as well though!

I'm not going to pay it, but I'm not worried about it. If sales don't take off we'll soon see things come back down to earth. Besides, there's always a way to get these things cheaper. Managed to pre-order Demon's Souls for about £50 for example. Then you can get discounted PSN credit, etc. There's ways.

So, so glad I held off buying the PC version of this. Been really hyped for this for a long time and I can't wait to try it. Get the feeling it's one of those games I'll wish I could forget and experience for the first time over and over again.

Day one for sure. It looks wonderful and I can't wait.

The current version really isn't good from what I've seen. Glad I held off.

It was OK! Decent enough, but I don't think it actually focuses on the awards enough. It has a bit of an identity crisis where it wants to be the Oscars and the Superbowl all in one, and it doesn't quite mesh. Felt a bit of a shame to have so many awards that were just rushed through without giving the devs chance to talk.

Fantastic lineup for sure. Something for everyone! Won't be watching live but looking forward to catching up with it tomorrow.

I'm tempted to give Destiny 2 a go at long last with the PS5 update. Enjoyed the first game but haven't touched the sequel, so I'll probably hop on it to get through the basic content and then move on. Sounds like the PS5 update has been well implemented for the most part, but it's a shame the haptics haven't been included (yet).

It sounds like the gameplay is really solid, but for me the presentation is lacking a bit and that's where the charm of Pokemon really makes a difference. I'm interested and keeping an eye on it, but not sold just yet.
