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.

I wonder if they will add a performance RT mode of some sort later on? 30fps burns my eyes since before the Dreamcast, but maybe something like 40 or 50 would help.

I bought a ps5 due to the hype of this game, so I really hope it lives up to it. The problem for me is I played wreakfest then gt sport and suddenly gt felt lifeless and like driving a ghost box around a circuit. Wreakfest even before haptics had a real sense of speed and a feel of impact when hitting things.
I really hope GT adds that level of realism to the next game and not just continue on with the less detailed souless vibe you get from GT sport.

@Jacko11 how did you find the beta? Did you find it as buggy and rubbish as I did?

Did they improve this beyond the beta much? Back then the game was very buggy and also felt quite empty. If it's not improved much, I would not recommend this game!

Yes if games get too big and take too long to make, to have the same amount of games you can either have more studios or sequals. Nintendo seem to be all about sequals with some new ip thrown in a few times a generation, however I'm starting to see the intelligence in their model as this prevents the super reliance on let's say 10 aaa games per generation.
Let's see where we end up, but I'm starting to wonder exactly how many games we will see this generation, maybe less because games are now too big!

A free update is welcome! If only every publisher followed this model on the ps5 eh?
