I wonder if they'll cast the actor that played/screencapped Jin, or a Japanese actor, or if they go the usual Hollywood route and cast a big name actor who doesn't fit the bill (IE the Rock) 🙄

I really want to play this game, but not sure if I should wait to buy a PS5 and PS5 game release, or just bite the bullet and play it on my PS4 Pro and hope for the best. Any PS4 Pro players enjoying it?

This is No Man's Sky all over again, although with a bigger studio. Hopefully it can recover like NMS did after a few patches.

With microtransactions being "phased out", developers have to make their money somewhere, so they sell airtime in their games instead. This will go on for 5 years until the next money making scheme arrives.

Anyone know if they fixed the black loading screen with sound bug? I have a save file waiting for a patch.

Please be true. I've been wanting these games.

I hope they say what they mean. I've heard this before from developers, only to have waypoints and maps marked showing every collectible, ruining the exploration of the game.

It takes me about 2 seconds to press the PS button, devices, turn off controller. Handy to know, but not really that quick to be honest.

These sales are very predictable. Every few weeks it's the same games discounted at various prices. I've seen some of these games cheaper during previous PS Store sales. I shouldn't be complaining thought, I've got massive back log of games to get through. I guess I'm a digital game hoarder.

Sorry but what's the point of writing an article on a topic which you have zero information on? It's like saying "PS5 release games": we don't know, there might be a driving game, or a shooting game, or game about building robots made of cheese". These articles are just clickbait. You might as well start a topic on PS6 release date, price and games.

Found the video very boring. Doesn't matter how fast this is or how many of that it has, if the games are bad then it's all for nothing. More power dont mean better games. Look at Breath of the Wild. Probably the best game of this generation and it's on the weakest console. Just show me the games and system dashboard and then I'll be impressed.

I'm guessing it will be Thursday 3am for us down under, as it's Wednesday 3pm here and there's been no info yet.

I bought SOTC during the last sale. Not interested in Sonic, too many games bought from the recent Big in Japan sale😬

Never finished the game on PS3, but loved what I played. I will def buy.

Not sure about this one. I finished #1 and #3, only got half way in #2 before i got bored. If it plays like Diablo i might have a look.

I think they've left it too late. We won't see an update for another few months and by then the remaining players will have moved on and found something new and better to play.

I loved Journey, it was one of those near perfect games. But i don't remember the soundtrack at all. It wasn't memorable for me. It probably helped with the emotion of the game as I played it, but if you told me to hum or name a track I wouldn't have a clue. Nier Automata should have been #1, not a mention.

This soundtrack and Nier Automata are my fave gaming soundtracks of all-time. They both give you the feels and play exactly when needed during the game. No other games have done that IMO.

And as other have already said, God of War will prob be #1 soundtrack, as it already is #1 in every other gaming category on this website. Just swallow already🙄.

OK the game has been delayed but why are there videos on YouTube showing the first 15 mins or so!? Do developers send out these to reviewers/influencers or is something else happening here? Usually this happens a week or two before release, not 2 months.

When is a demo not free? I enjoyed what I had played of the game but didn't complete due to other.....games.

@BarefootBowser I don't read into the more "powerful" console debate. It don't matter how many gigs, rams, or fans you have, if you can't make good, interesting, challenging games than it's all pointless. XBox One has one of the worst dashboard setups in history, full of useless ads and media. A i haven't found a game that has kept my attention for more than 2 hours. I end up replaying X360 games that i enjoyed years ago.

Also look at the Switch: the least powerful current console/handheld, but has games such as Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros, Pokemon, and various ports and indies that are all awesome games.

I'm looking forward to Horizon 2, God of War 2, and many other PS games. I'll be buying a PS5 for sure, unless the Switch Pro is released around the same time

I really enjoyed Lost Legacy for some reason. I loved the setting, story and 2 girls. But every other Uncharted game I found annoying. Not sure if it was the setting, or if the mechanics felt slightly different, or that the main character of Nathan really annoyed me. I just can't stand them.

Goat Simulator is one of those games were you jump on for an hour of stupid, random, weird fun. I tried Uncharted 1,2 and 3 a few years ago and I just couldn't get into it. There was something about the controls that felt off, and I couldn't stand the non stop talking of the main characters. I did however play and enjoy Lost Legacy, but for some reason can't enjoy the rest of the series.

Game of the Decade: PT.

"Cool, i'll have to try it".
"You can't".
"Why not?"
"Because it's no longer available".
"Why, what happened?"
"It was just a concept demo and was removed from the store before being released".
"So it wasn't an actual game, just a demo?"
"Um, yeah."
"OK, might as well put the Zelda HD Tech Demo from E3 2011 on the list as well. It was only a demo, and not a game, and not even on the PlayStation. Who cares right?"

I finally picked this up a few weeks ago. The first few hours were ok but I found the story boring and relied on the player to collect documents and stop and read them. Combat is good but very repetitive, and the visuals ain't that great either, even when film grain is turned off (default on). Also frame rate issues still exist. Definitely not my GOTY.

The game was unplayable for me. Server disconnections every 15 minutes, losing progress, enemy bases being reset after clearing. Once Ubisoft remove the "always online" part i'll play it again.

@leucocyte I was doing the same thing, holding L2, but then realised that it's only to initially grab then you can let go. Even jumping across while climbing there's no need to press it again.

I agree with the animations, both Cal and enemies. They're not as smooth as they could be. It feels more arcadey than realistic, but you get used to it.

@leucocyte Not sure why you're holding L2 for so long, you press it once to grab onto a wall, then you can let go and climb. Also meditating doesn't respawn enemies, only resting does. So you can meditate, use your skill points, then leave and you'll be fine. Only if you want to recharge your health, etc and rest, that's when enemies reset.

I'm having a blast. It's very similar to the Tom Raider games more than Unhcharted. It has that arcadey control feel. Plenty of exploration, traversal, combat, collecting, customization. I'd give it a 9.

Death Stranding was always going to be a "love or hate" game for me. I took a chance and bought it on release and i have no regrets. I find the game peaceful, relaxing, stressful, puzzling, beautiful and fulfilling all at once. Not every game has to have non-stop action, shooting and looting, or superhuman heroes.

I also liken the game to Breath of the Wild. It's an adventure with little hand holding. It makes you go out on your own and discover ways to complete objectives, or just to stay alive. Yes the world of DS is barren, but it sets the atmosphere and tone of the game. It has some of the most beautiful landscapes and settings i've ever played. BOTW is also considered barren with enemy camps scattered here and there, but while you're running across a grassy open field, or climbing a mountain to see what's on the other side, it puts the player in the moment of adventure, something that lots of other games don't achieve. Same with RDR2. Uncharted 4 is a pretty game, but to me it's just a scripted movie set piece with little freedom IMO.

To me Death Stranding sets the bar for next-gen games: to be new, different and game changing. It seems the majority of gamers these days are stuck in a COD/Fortnite/Destiny loophole, of online arcade shooters, and when something original and fresh shows up which doesn't hold their hands they quickly knock it down and call it boring garbage. I think Kojima was right when he said that DS flies higher than a FPS.

When they add offline mode I'll replay it. I lost so much progress due to crappy Ubisoft servers, it was literally unplayable. Every 15 mins I was getting booted back to the main menu and losing progress, restarting missions, and losing weapons.

If it's a technical malfunction, can't the PS Store pull the game down under the publishers request?

Wish they'd fix multiplayer challenges. Some are broken and prevent you from unlocking new weapons, xp, etc.

Funny, i exchanged this game yesterday, because it's no fun being disconnected from the Ubis#!t servers every 15 minutes. Especially when in the middle of clearing an enemy base and having to start it again once connected. Seriously, stop forcing multiplayer on everyone, an offline mode is easy, and i'd still be playing the game if that was the case. As others have said, there's a good/fun game underneath all the crap they ram down your throats.

Take a page out of other IP's books, and also Nintendo's book, and release the game when it is FINISHED! I'm tired of 50GB day one patches because they rush it out the door. I''ll pick the game up again when it has an offline mode, and on sale. BTW i exchanged it for COD:MW and i've only played the first 3 missions of the campaign and i'm already enjoying it more than GR:Breakpoint.

I wasn't expecting it to be that funny that i was choking on my toast. That's hilarious. I'm almost willing to throw down cash for this game if it gives me these laughs every few minutes.

I say CDPR should leave the T-posing NPC's in the game and just say they're malfunctioning cyborgs.

Well the Beta had every option but to invert the camera while flying drones/helicopters! You could invert the pitch controls, but not the camera in flight. Frustrating.

To me it's just GR:Wildlands re-skinned, with a new "roll in the mud" ability. Very repetitive, too much going on at once. I'll grab it on sale.

You're welcome.

Didn't someone 3D print a saber to connect the move controllers together, to form something similar to Maul's lightsaber a few months ago? What's next? News story that someone else has sticky taped their controllers together?

I'm guessing another company has hired her after seeing her performance and passion at E3. Smart move.

So the founders pack is just the same as the Alpha test a few weeks ago then?

Played both and finished both. But its ok coz I'll be busy with Astral Chain, Daemon X Machina and Borderlands 3.

Perhaps update the review after the day one patch has been issued. Sounds like a fun game but seems unfair that you review an "unfinished" game, since the patch hasn't released yet. It would be like reviewing a movie before it's official release, where some CGI scenes haven't been completed.

I know it's the norm these days to push a game out the door quickly, but to review a different final build to the public release can be a bit unfair sometimes. Especially when a day one patch is a given. I do understand that you guys and girls have to review games before initial release, but maybe update the reviews with day one patch results after.

Gotta agree, there's so much to do now. Its a totally different game. I've started 2 new games since the update: one for normal "2D" mode, the other for VR.

@michaelf thanks mate. After reading your comment last night I tried it and it worked! Only tested about 1 minute of gameplay before going to bed. Will be spending the weekend in NMS VR.

My game still won't launch with the VR headset on. It just goes to a black screen. Works fine in normal 2D mode. I hope they're working on patch 2.05.

My update was corrupted twice, finally installed itself. Game goes to black screen when VR headset is on, no sound either, crashes when closing application. Works fine in normal/non-VR mode. Guess I'm waiting for a patch.

Any game that draws inspirations and gameplay mechanics from BOTW is a good thing in my book. Trailer looks good, I'll probably buy day one.

I also played in the alpha. Really enjoyed it, seems like the full game will have plenty to do. If you enjoyed GW2 you'll enjoy this one. Will def buy day one.
