This is fantastic news, glad I held off buying this now! Once I'm done with Demon's Souls I be picking up both this and SM Remastered and I'm really excited to try this mode out. Excellent stuff from an excellent developer.

After his other events this year I'm not holding out too much hope, but fingers crossed. Won't be watching live but I'll catch up on Friday morning for sure.

It might not be headline grabbing stuff but it's exactly what you want with a new console launch.

Been very excited to play this game and keep resisting the urge to pick it up on PC. I'd much rather play on console so really hope the date is imminent.

Still undecided. Will revisit it next year and see how people have reacted to it in the long term. Tempted though.

If ever a game should be exempt from scoring, it's NMS. It's a very different experience for different people. No problem with the 7/10 score - but people should just understand that if it's their type of game, it'll be a very different opinion.

I enjoyed the launch experience back in the day, as what I wanted was just a chill exploration game that I could zone out with and enjoy some pretty vistas. It did outstay its welcome eventually but I was happy with what I had. The updates though are absolutely astounding, and has breathed new life into the game for me alongside the amazing PS5 visual and performance upgrades.

That's the one criticism of the review I have, that it could possibly contain a rundown of some of the major new features and showcase their potential a little bit. I think if I was coming in to the game fresh but was unsure about it, I'm not sure this would have helped me make my mind up one way or the other. But, the argument there is that there's plenty of other places to get that information too.

I'd much rather a late review that really gets down into the nuts and bolts of this game than one that's barely scraped the surface to meet the embargo. Got plenty of other games to play right now, I'll revisit Cyberpunk in 2021 when the PS5 version is here and people have had time to really get into it.

I'm leaving Cyberpunk for a good few months at the very least, until the PS5 version is ready. It looks incredible in so many ways, and very questionable in other areas, like representation for one thing. Going to hang back and wait for the long-term reviews, where people have spent 100+ hours in the game and have had time to digest it. Then I'll have a look at all the opinions and decide whether I give it a shot or not. We'll see.

My most realistic prediction would be a new trailer for Elden Ring, it's past due at this point.

Dream announcements would be:
PSP 5G
FF7R next-gen
Silent Hill
Bloodborne Remastered
Spider-Man 2 would be amazing to but think it's massively unlikely with MM only just on the market.

Demon's Souls all the way.

Very cool to see some big names involved, definitely adds to the glitz and glamour of the event. Looking forward to it! Just have to avoid all the mindless drivel from toxic gamers commenting on the announcements on Twitter. Sigh.

Really hope that BioWare can turn their fortunes around soon. At their peak they were easily one of the best. DOn't think these departures are a good sign, though.

This is why the decision to go with PS5 as my primary console was an easy one. PS4 had by far the best singleplayer experiences of any platform and as long as that continues, I'll be a customer.

I'm never clearing my backlog, ever. Just isn't gonna happen. So I just keep getting through things as quick as I can and hoping I can get through the very best of them at least!

Fall Guys is great fun but very repetetive, hoping the new season shakes things up a bit.

Great news for Sony, here's hoping they can get the supply up sharpish. Really enjoying the PS5 so far though, had another couple of hours on Demon's Souls last night and it's just so, so good.

It’s fantastic. Build quality, ergonomics and functionality far greater than its predecessors.

Not bad, not great. Worms Rumble is a pleasant surprise but can't say I'm too fussed about Just Cause or Rocket Arena.

Adored TLoU2, not surprised to see it picked up so many awards last night. Congrats to the team and can't wait to see what Naughty Dog will do on PS5!

Also, big middle finger to the toxic minority that continue to mask their prejudices and fuel their entitlement by hounding this game like it took a dump on their hands.

Really glad to see the new courses more than anything else. Great game and hope we see more content down the line!

It's a really charming little game, I've had a great time with it so far on PS5. It might not be a system seller but it's good fun!

Very happy with my PS5 so far. Demon's Souls is everything I hoped, Astro Bot is the closest any 3D platformer I've played recently has got to Nintendo standards, and Bugsnax is a fun little game too. Also installed No Man's Sky and Shadow of the Colossus, but haven't tried them out yet.

The controller really is the main talking point - love the triggers and haptics. Feeling individual raindrops on your hands in Astro is so, so cool. Can't wait to see how other games use this.

There's a bit of noise every now and then, like booting up from scratch or installing a game but overall it's been very quiet too and I don't notice it at all while I'm playing. Everything is super slick and it all just looks and feels very high tech and new.

My one and only complaint right now is the PS Store - which really needs an update or two, IMO. No dedicated sales tab is a pain, and I don't seem to be able to find avatars to purchase anymore, which seems a bit weird. I'm sure it'll get better with time though, and having a wishlist on the actual console is great.

I’d love The Outer Wilds, personally. I also wonder if Horizon Zero Dawn might be a possibility as it isn’t in the PS+ collection.

Love stuff like this. Hopefully someone will figure it out soon!

Yeesh some people really need to relax. No, I have no idea who he is either but I still enjoyed the video. Much more interesting than some video games exec doing an unboxing or giving us the same tired old "for the gamers" speech.

TBH I'm not bothered about 120FPS, I'm perfectly happy with 60. But I'd just like some extra bells and whistles at the very least, like enhanced effects or native 4K or whatever they think. Just a shame that there's just nothing new at all.

Love it. Great sense of humour from Insomniac there!

Argh I really need a sale on Streets of Rage 4 soon. The current price is fine but I just know the second I pick it up it's going to go on sale or PS Plus or something. I should just buy it but I'll probably hang back until I've played through my PS5 launch games a bit at least.

Loved Abzu so I was hoping this would be a good one. It'll be going on the wishlist for sure, can imagine picking it up around Christmas time.

I think it'll have its fans regardless, and I'm happy about that, but it's definitely not for me and the reviews seem to suggest what I expected after seeing the very first trailer.

Definitely grabbing this at some point, it really gives me an impression of being a co-op Tearaway/LBP mashup and I can really imagine having a lot of fun with my wife on this one as we were both constantly leaning over each other's shoulders when we played Tearaway back in the day on our Vitas. The chance to have that as a shared experience is very appealing.

It looks amazing and the new face is way, way better than the original. Really can't wait to play it!

I really hope this is because they’re working on proper DualSense and 3D audio support or something. Very disappointing otherwise and I won’t download it again until there’s a proper update, personally.

I really can't wait to get this, but I'll be holding out for the PS5 version.

I've got the Friday off, figured I'd let everything update/install on the day, maybe play some Astro Bot in the evening and then spend an entire day with Demon's Souls on the 20th. Can't wait!

Fully expect they'll be back in a special edition one day, looking forward to seeing what they come up with.

Glad this won't be another "gang of teenagers" scenario, as much as I enjoyed the other games. Looking forward to this!

This is sounding more and more up my street as I hear more about it. Looking forward to the Push Square review. It sounds like it's a lot less bloated and a little easier to play through than the previous games which is exactly what I wanted. I don't have time for many 100-hour adventures these days so a tighter story and less focus on side quests sounds great.

Finally! Hope there are substantial improvements for PS5, too.

The only thing I'll say here is that the scaling back on the business doesn't necessarily mean less Japanese-inspired games for us to play. It just might mean less of it is in-house or exclusive to Sony.

I’ll be interested to try both, The Last Guardian still managed to be one of the best games of the generation even at a lower frame rate so I’ll be happy either way I expect.

@Bigkopman I wonder if they've left that out for plot reasons, possibly to introduce in Spider-Man 2...? Would be pretty cool to play the storyline properly!

@Kopite Yeah, but the Remastered version is all shiny and has new trophies...

A real shame, but expected. Just hope we'll see a similar project from Kojima one day.

"More of the same" is fine when it comes to Spider-Man. Adored the first one and really excited to play this even if it's an expansion rather than a sequel.

Ahhhh I love them. Finished the PS4 version but I think I might need to pick up the remaster after all...

Sooooo excited!! Love that we can keep the filters activated outside of photo mode!

I’m just here to praise the sub header for this article. Quality work!

I was buying this the second they revealed that crayfish/lobster summon. Can't wait.

Day one is all about Demon's Souls, but I'll be picking up Miles Morales ASAP after that. Bugsnax I'll get with PS Plus and looking forward to it. After that, I'll be upgrading my copy of No Man's Sky and hopefully picking up Sakcboy at some point. Also interested in Assassin's Creed but it's much lower priority than the rest at the moment.
