Can't pick a favorite Troy Baker role, but every time I find out he's in a game I am thrilled. Love his work. He was incredible in TLOU and his Indy performance was phenomenal.

I found out he's in the Mouse: PI for hire game and now I need to play that.

I mean, this game looks pretty cool. It does, but how can anyone argue the facts? The post launch updates tell a tale.

The thing that bothers me more than anything is that once you point out the problems, someone sees it as an attack and tries to tell you why you are just being difficult. Two things can be true, the game can be janky and even unfinished and still be good/cool.

Why are there so many who jump at the slightest criticism?

I want to buy all of these games. I pulled the trigger on one and haven't had time to play it, but I want to speak with my wallet a bit. Just wish everything else (gas, food, bills) hadn't shot up so much in recent weeks.

The Spidey games have been so good. Can't wait for another one.

This is why I like you, Sammy. You are just as cynical as I am. This article reflects my thoughts as well.

Heck, my initial thought was "they are doing the bachelor for playstation."

You know they are only going to pick influencer caliber people for these.

The only people this will reach are the streamers and content creators.

Can’t wait to play this one when it’s ready. Lol

I’ll take my late pass, I’m currently playing Spider-Man 2 and it’s phenomenal. Somehow better than the first game and Miles Morales. We need more exclusive launches that aren’t frigging live service trash. Just saying some quality games will move consoles. Prices are high, sure, but I think people will still buy if there are games they want.

When this game costs what it is worth, like $30, I'll get to play it.

I'm pretty interested in this game, I just find it very frustrating that it seems to run like hot garbage on console that isn't a Pro.

Waiting for a steep sale as it sounds like that's what the product is worth.

@CielloArc surprised you didn’t just flat out say translators are “woke.”

Be ready for some really trash quality translations if this is what they do.

Glad to read this. I do wonder if it would have happened if they hadn't been called out.

Would you guys be able to snap some high resolution screenshots of before and after? Just curious what impact it's making. I'm sure it's obvious, but I am waiting to get the game as I think it needs a hair more time.

Wait, so this is adding FSR to performance mode? Does that improve the overall fidelity on base PS5 in performance mode?

I don’t expect anyone to know, but is it the same FSR3 the game uses in other modes?

No mention of the balanced mode?

I've seen some videos, but I'm not sure if I totally trust them, with the game playing fairly well with VRR and in the balanced mode.

Very curious for the Digital Foundry vid on it.

Thank you for the review!

That thumbnail gave me a legit LOL. Thanks for that.

Well, if they are trying to bring back brick and mortar, this is the solution.

Just checked and despite my use and being a loyal customer, I get the lower discount. So, it sounds like they don't value me as a consumer.

Well, what do you want Tim Sweeney to do? He must have been afraid he wasn’t about to get his multimillion dollar bonus.

Fortnite may not be falling off just yet, but at some point I think people will want a different experience.

Waiting for a sale, but I def want to grab this one. Sounds like it needed a bit more time, but I like that they are working on it.

I like everything about the fact that the game exists and that you all wrote a review on it. Thank you.

I ain’t playing that junk though. Lol

I'm glad for those who like this sort of game. Not for me, but always good to have great new games out there.

Lol I can’t wait for this one to go on sale.

Figured this statement was coming. I waited on Cyberpunk, so I’ll wait on this one.

I laughed quite heartily reading this.

Honestly, I think all the weird stuff about this game makes it weirdly more endearing. I’m more into the concept of this game now than before.

That said, I think waiting for some patches is a great idea.

I am not wholly shocked by what I'm reading in this update. I had been quite suspicious of the fact that they never released any base console footage.

That said, it does sound like some updates may resolve these issues. I'm still interested in the game, it sounds cool. If they can fix some of the problems with updates, that would be great. I think it's cool I've seen footage of the performance mode hitting higher frame rates.

Can someone confirm what I saw in one video where the quality mode on base was still hitting the 50fps range? Pretty gnarly if true!

Is anyone checking out Dread Delusion? Game looks pretty cool.

That new Castlevania has so much potential. Excited about that one.

@LiamCroft I really respect that policy for what it’s worth. You guys always help me know what to expect from my platform, the PlayStation. I appreciate that from you guys.

Hey, I’ll wait to see how you guys rate it and what DF says before I shell out any cash. It sounds alright to me, but I still need to be convinced.

You guys should do a review on Dread Delusion! That game looks really cool.

I’ve tried to keep my expectations tempered, so I’m curious to see how you all score it when you do.

Worst case it hits wait for a sale on my list!

Ah yes, a CEO knows what is best for us all. No sarcasm here folks (joking, this is as sarcastic as I can get).

Just bought Monster Hunter Stories 3. Going to get RE:R. Sounds like I’ll need this one. So much money to spend!

This might be the most interesting bit of info I’ve seen on the game. Can’t tell how performance is from this vid (watching on phone), but it seems quite decent.

That part they showed in the sky was definitely Tears of the Kingdom inspired.

The Digital Foundry video with the pro footage made me excited for this, but the information that they were given a PS5 pro with the game installed so they couldn’t sample the base console versions is perplexing to me. I don’t have a pro and this seems deliberate.

I really hope the game is good, because it sounds really cool! That last sentence of the article is eye brow raising.

Just so many oddities surrounding the release of this one.

I am really hoping this game is going to be cool, but digital foundry’s video on it only gave me one big question: why couldn’t they show the base version of the game?

Everything DF showed looked very cool and I am hopeful the game is great, but I’m not going to shell out for a PS5 Pro to play it. It sounds and looks cool, I hope it is, but the console space better not get a half hearted experience.

I know exactly the kind of person that creates or even uses such a website. That kind of person is not a net positive for the world.

I have a base PS5. Hoping for positive news.

In the last 2 years, I've gotten more sega games than I think I ever have. It started because I enjoyed Sonic Mania. Then I got Sonic Frontiers as a gift and Sonic X Shadow. Then, I played Metaphor ReFantazio and LOVED it. Then, I got Persona 3 Reload (haven't had a chance to start).

Point is, their games are great. I think it's just that the sonic games haven't been as eye catching and the Atlus games go under the radar.

On the DF patreon, they noted that "the consoles can handle the game" which has helped to answer some questions for me. I'll be very curious for a final breakdown. Hope the game turns out well, I've been pessimistic with the lack of info/showcasing, but I always welcome a positive surprise.

Just the hubris of one person saying they speak for everyone is a testament to the arrogance of online trolls.

Grabbed Tainted Grail. After learning about it from this site and seeing that the developer just came out with a new update, I thought it was time to snag it. Hopefully I didn't get bagged by their dynamic pricing.

Sony is making some boneheaded decisions lately.

I’m glad you are reporting this. This is so scummy.

They are essentially saying they will compete with the new Steam Machine. Frankly, this tells me they already lost.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think combining the ecosystems is the silver bullet they are hoping for.

I think more significant then anything, buddy, your game launched in a really bad state. No conspiracy about that, it was just a fact.

@Reeneman haven’t purchased a day one launch in a long time. I don’t preorder either.

I have no doubt the console most people don't have will run better. I have a base PS5 and I'm not looking to upgrade. I am interested in this game, but I hope I don't get a mediocre product. Additionally, this would translate to a mediocre Xbox release as well. I legitimately hope it turns out better than we expect, but it all just seems so odd!
