How can a game which is this broken and plays this badly still get a 4? Surely this deserves less than 4 and should be punished for its lack of release quality?
Genuine question, do you have explicit criteria for what each score means? Like I guess something that doesn't even start up would be a 1, 2 is? Etc.

@Northern_munkey pretty standard practice. Did you pre order? Which mail supplier? Ideally it should be up to the seller (not the mail supplier) to resolve with the post company and not you as it has not been delivered yet. Maybe chase the supplier?

Hopefully this makes the game into something brilliant rather than just above mediocre (after all the recent patches). The game has potential, but after the initial botch up I'm not sure how many people believe in the game still. Let's see what the reveiws are like, I'm optimistic it can only get better!

Hmm does this mean an October/November release? Maybe even December?

£220! Wowsers games have got expensive!

Brilliant capcom is not repeating the SF5 launch debarkle, looks like they have gone the oppersit way and provided a great amount out of the box. I wasn't tempted to pre order but I may be tempted for a day one purchase as it does look great. I did enjoy one of the closed beta although I felt the matches could swing very quickly meaning it felt a bit like EA FIFA where a match can swing. Sounds like they have fixed that now. An ideal game for summer and hopefully quick or instant loading times on the ps5 will make this a fighter of choice for now (until Tekken 8)

Steam deck! Makes you realise what they have achieved with streaming battery life of 8 hours with it. Sorry this new Sony device has very little appeal....

I'll stick with my steam deck thank you!

Well I definitely won't be buying this now and waiting for gamepass. What a shame it has terrible microtransactions, it's bad enough with hot wheels etc where buying is forced down your throat, and my young 5 year old wants everything he doesn't have, which would cost me a fortune.

Shame, I'll give it a miss for now.

@OmegaStriver you know what, your right. Thanks for the refresher. I don't believe all first party games were that price, but yes the majority were. Also they have resalability which modern titles do not as much. However I will call out at the time pc games were from £10-30, which is my baseline of pricing. Then Dreamcast was £40, PS4 £50 etc. So the average has been gradually increasing and the format itself is now none existent (digital), so quite frankly it's all about profit and is of little benefit to the consumer.

Looks great but yet another game at $70, probably translating to £70. I'll hold off until a couple of weeks/months in and get a reduced price.
I wonder what the actual gameplay will be like?

@Green-Bandit same here. Tekken now seems a serious fighter where as sf6 seems like a Dreamcast type city vision. Just match up people and be done!

Ps5 pro - here we go!

Kidding, but maybe not....

So that's still lots of work required post beta. Seems like a day 1 patch to me.

Still tempted to pre order, but I've been playing grim dawn and it's quite fun and filling the lack of diablo. Seeing as I bought diablo 3 at least four times, I suspect I'll defo be getting at some point!

They nuked the barbs again! Oh nooooo

Why is everyone so mega pumped on this version and look less like reality? I know Tekken has not been close, but it didn't look so disproportionate as it does in this version. Everyone looks top heavy and would fall with any slight punch. Still, it's been too long since a Tekken game and I'm looking forward to it even if it looks quite wrong.

I would love some new levels. A proper paid DLC would be well received from me, although I normally hate DLC.

I guess we have to wait until this year or next for astrobot or a new sackboy....

Wow the technology in the ps5!

Honestly things like this baffle me as to why it takes so long to be practical. I always thought demos sell more games, so it doesn't make any sense that just over two years after launch they add this back in. It doesn't feel that technical either, so I'm really confused.

Is this post title a euphemism?

Man they just need to tweak it a little bit and it's like the zatoichi film series. That would be very cool if they had a zatoichi mode....
Game has gone from "maybe" to "ok, I'm interested..."

@twitchtvpat for steam native, it's brilliant. I recommend it!

@h15c0r3r text is a bit difficult to read but once you know the menus it's fine. Run the game with medium settings:

Thats going to be a loooong wait...

Still, I've just got a steam deck and I'm enjoying Tekken 7 on that. Also I've got loads of fighters on the ps5 I really need to get into anyway so all good. This gives me time to complete them all!

@4kgk2 I was going to say "not the same visual assets, but it reuses the same code!"

I'm sure it will play much the same, it will just look rather night. As long as we get near instant loading on ps5 - that's all I care about.

This defo looks like a fine addition to gamepass cough sorry ps plus premium. No buy from me for any of these fun bonkers little games as I have enough to keep me playing already!

So what does the subscription give you over the pad alone? Sorry I missed that. The idea I pay £100 then £45 a year makes me sick. I'll stil with my razor which doesn't require a subscription and work. When you stop the subscription, does most of the functionally stop working?

It's too expensive! I own the normal PS4 version, unless the new one is free on ps ultimate - forget it!

@GoodGame £180 I'm guessing

@theMEGAniggle sure. It's insignificantly slower than my friend's one, but only by about 2%, so for the price, it's definitely worth it. I also didn't buy a heatsink - I went with the one provided (in built) and had no issues there.
Copying from the ps5 was fast and like most drives it runs slightly faster than the ps5's internal memory.
Had it about a month, no complaints so far.

Nothing like promotion for push square! I went with a Kingston fury renegade 1tb for £109 and that's been fine. Not sure what the extra £70 is for other than branding...

Looks a bit basic, but I like the look of those mini games! They could make the game sega like and maybe worth the price of admission!

Whoever is playing that in demo is some kind of machine... I must say they make the game look humanly impossible, but I guess that's the whole idea of bullet hell games. Andrenilin mode - on! Let's go!

Is this all new animation or is this part of the main story mode? I've only just bought the game and I have been very slowly playing the tutorial, so if this is on story mode - that's going to be one to not skip!

My playstation is slowly becoming my fighting game console of choice, this looks like a fine addition to my ever growing list of fighting games I do and don't play enough. For some reason, I'm playing dead or alive 6 on digital as it was recently reduced. Next up, I'll need to get a better fight stick than my current £60 jobby....

So this explains why I'm so bad online with fighters such as dead or alive 6 and street fighter on the ps5? It's not me, it's the console lag? Brilliant! I'm still good and not 20 years too old to play these games then! Hehe

So GT7 isn't a realistic car simulator any more, that probably falls to assetto corsa competizione (which is virtually unplayable without a steering wheel), but with a wheel it gets pretty close, and that's enough. Shame there isn't enough single player content to keep going for months, the menu books are not quite enough. I pre ordered this, completed, and have not really played since. I don't play online because I can't win, and I don't own a steering wheel, so what I can do on this game is pretty limited now. Shame, I bought the ps5 to play it, I thought it would have a complete single player mode like gt1, where I could buy and sell cars for ages, but it's not quite that game yet. Let's hope they add the resale aspect soon!

This could be perfect for the switch as well. Fingers crossed they intend to release this there too

I would much rather a physical resurgence rather than a game representation. Man I miss pinball, something that's seemingly impossible to emulate. There are far too many in private ownership Vs the arcade. I'll buy one myself when funds and space materialize, but I better get in quick as they are only going up in value!

If you are partial to those tracks, you can always emulate (providing you have the rights to the ROM that is, i.e. the original cart). Maybe the new tracks will make the game seem fresh anyway?

We have over six months if these teasers? Oh dear! Enough to make me want to play sf6 and then not and then again then not until I'm totally fed up with watching anything to do with it.
Guile looks good for his age though doesn't he?

Initial thoughts - commentary could be limited, leading to repetition. However the in car voices sound brilliant, and my god races actually look good (presuming thats not just an intro video only). It would be a shame for them not to include driving, however I guess licenses prevent that. Still, defo one to wait for the actual reviews post launch, as it could either be brilliant or limited.

@MisterXpoSay I thought this, with the ps5 loading this screen is effectively redundant. So it's going to be mandaded probably to allow for cross format battles. But who knows!

I guess if you go from a negative amount in the previous year anything of profit is going to be better right?

@itsfoz zero chance, sony has explicitly stated they are not doing day one releases as they wish to capitalise before adding to the subscription service. Still, I would be happy to be charmed into that ideal, because then it saves me the inevitable £70 price tag (or more) with this game

I'm happy with dark mode for the menus! On my oled the white menus used to burn my eyes. Also because I'm rubbish, easy mode means I'll pick this up and give it a go, I'm still stuck on level 2!

Am I allowed to feel proud I managed to get all my licenses before this patch? The dirt ones were damn hard but basically I did them without breaking except on one or two corners and a massive amount of retries. Glad it's made them easier, it was obvious they were a lot harder than the other levels and now I know why!

@Gloamin no they were there last build. In fact, I'm wondering if this a a feature of switching from ray tracing mode to performance mode. I've noticed it loads since switching and in fact the popin is worse than the draw distance of my Dreamcast! Loads of detail everywhere, but when it comes to shadows under a bridge, there is so much pop in it reminds me of the ps1 days....*
*Btw, I'm a pain in the arse in real life too.

@Filth_Element and for me it made me think of the Shaw brothers logo, when now I realise is quite different. Oh well!

@Voltan indeed. I'm somewhat optimistic for soul calibur 7, but that's probably a little over zealous...

That looks great, shame it's due in the autumn. Looks like I'm the only one to get excited by a purely 2d fighter in a modern age - but yes this looks good. Having said that, guilty gear strive did an amazing job, so this is up against some tough competition! Good luck.
