The game actually looks like a fun budget/mid-tier game.
The planned Crash Mode will definitely have me consider buying it.

So we're paying €20 for a free mobile game port?
Ridiculous. I'll stick with the free mobile version instead.

@Jrs1
It's not about the price, it's the message being sent.
Vote with your wallet to prevent future slop like this where they treat their paying customers like idiots.

This game deserves a full remake.

My main question:
Will there be a physical disc?

It kinda feels like cheating, playing a MGS game that Kojima didn't work on.

I buy the games on PlayStation again once we get to the games that include 'Horde mode'.

@nessisonett
I did the exact same thing with my local radio. It adds tremendously to the immersion.

For the love of God, give us PS VR2 support and I can have peace with the fact that PS VR2 is dying and won't ask for anything else PS VR2 related.

Full PS VR2 support please.

That's exactly who I thought about when seeing the trailer! I hope it's true. Loved him in 'Dexter: Original Sin'.

Hopefully physical. Anyone got more information about that?

Assassin's Creed Shadows Was Such a Hit, Ubisoft is Considering to Finish Development on More Unannounced Games Before Launch.

*Fixed the title

It's going to be weird since the previous game's were open-world. But then again, there wasn't much to do in the open-world outside of the main missions.
Hopefully this means a more streamlined story focussed experience.
If it is, I'm totally fine with that.

I feel Microsoft is deliberately using physical discs as a form of DRM to access the digital version.
They don't want you to own their games. Such a shame.

Physical Disc with all content on it would make it a must buy.

I hate this. Thank you Nintendo!
Time to transition into a new hobby...
Probably going to spend more of my money into 4k physical media instead of games.

I already know this is a must have for me.

Great news! Unfortunately I'm still being disappointed by Microsft's decisions so far, by their lack of physical releases on PS5. Or, as is the case with Indiana Jones, release physical without the full game on disc.

Is this a remaster of a remaster?

Modern Warfare 2 - 2009
Modern Warfare 2 - 2022
And now, Modern Warfare 2 - 2025?

How uninspiring can you be....

Please, let Neill Blomkamp direct and produce! This style of movie is made for him!

A lot of people I know have that same sentiment. They have a PS5 or XBOX as main and a Switch as a secondary console, just for the Nintendo exclusives. In those cases, none of them is interested in playing the multiplatform games on Switch, since they will look and play better on their XBOX / PS5.
When you consider that, the point of entry is just to damn high for those people to invest in the console at this moment in time, especially when you want games physical, which will cost you €90 per piece!
If you buy one physical game per month, you'll have to spent €360 more per year on Switch 2 compared to the OG Switch. For that same amount of money you could have gotten 6 extra new Switch 1 games!

@Unizold
Good call. I'm not interested in this game, but happen to be a fan of his music and his awesome humoristic YouTube videos.

I did quit Call of Duty when Nicky Minaj etc. got introduced, so I understand your reasoning.

This guy is a legend. Check out his YouTube shorts!

That's a slap in the face of the customer. Just going to leave it at that.

Lets be real. Technically it's an impressive system. The price for the console is high, but I could live with that and consider it as a one time entry fee. However, €90 for a physical game is RIDICULOUS!!!
GTA6 is probably going to be cheaper.
It killed all my hype...

Most important question for me, is it going to be a physical release? And if so, will it contain the entire game data on disc? I'm looking at you Henry Walton Jones, Jr.

Give us physical editions and I'll bite. And I mean REAL physical editions, not that Indiana Jones BS, which ships with a disc without the full game.

This is good news for Ubisoft. Now let's hope this all does translate into good sales figures.

This seems like great news, but I'm still sceptical. I want to see the sales combined for both digital and physical for the first week/month and compare that with other releases in the series.

The reason being that in 2025, digital games have become more mainstream than ever with digital only consoles.
So, I'm not sure if having the biggest digital sale in the franchise's history on launchday is that big of a deal as they want to make it sounds, considering that the further you go back in time with the franchise's releases, the less popular digital games were.

Just... why???
I hate when companies do this.

It comes with a Physical release!!!
I'm so happy!
I pray that more Microsoft games may follow with physical releases on PS5!

Indiana Jones is getting a physical release on PS5!
Now I need to get it!
May more Microsoft games follow with physical releases!

I want it to be a PS VR2 spin-off!

Makes you wonder if this is indeed about protecting employees from harassment, or if this is a disguised way of censoring criticism on AC Shadows, considering Ubisoft is in complete financial disaster, if AC: Shadows doesn't perform well.

I'm really curious though, how the game is being received in the Japanese gaming community.

Edit:
I'm interested in this game but I don't have the need to play this on day one. I'm keeping a close eye on how this all plays out in the coming days. Not only the quality of the game, but also Ubisoft's response in how they will handle the situation is going to be a deciding factor for me, before I make a final decision if I'm going to support this company by buying AC: Shadows.
Because in all honesty, I don't think this situation is as simple and one sided as the current "Gamers are toxic" narrative that Ubisoft is claiming. I feel that they (Ubisoft) also have a responsibility in creating this mess that they are in now.

This needs PS VR2 support!

@get2sammyb
Thanks for clarification! Maybe a hot take, but In that case, I don't see much problems with this approach.
Keep in mind that this is a beta that is played by a limited group of players. These players are (mostly) people that are big fans of this franchise, otherwise they wouldn't have found their way into the beta.
And if they get 100% of their spent money refunded in the form of digital San Van Bucks to be used in the final version of the game, I don't see any problems. You know beforehand what you're getting into.

Note: Only reason for outrage would be if this is a test to see which items are the most popular and they offer the same DLC in the final version of the game, but increase the prices for said items compared to the current pricing in the beta build. EA wouldn't do that, right?

I'm ready. I was so disappointed when the PS VR1 version didn't had move controller support that I didn't even bother to play it.
The PS VR2 controller scheme sounds very promising!

I need clarification on "Any San Van Bucks they own will be returned to their accounts".
Do they mean your unspent left-over San Van Bucks on your beta account? Or do they also refund the equivalent amount of San Van Bucks that you've given them by spending real cash on items in the in-game shops, which you'll loose access to once the beta ends and won't be given back once the full game is released?

No physical, no buy.

Man, the future of gaming looks bleaker and bleaker every few months.
We need to cherish Nintendo with their support for physical games for their first party line-up and almost no day-one patches since they actually ship their games complete and (almost always) without bugs.
PS5 games needing a Microsoft account, PC games needing a PSN account. The whole concept of owning a "console" is getting more ridiculous as time goes on.
I buy consoles to not put up with all this crap. I miss the days where console gaming was simple "plug-and-play" and occasionally blowing on the cartridge.

Great! Though, I need this to have a physical release in order to buy.

@GirlVersusGame
Well, there's review bombing and there's 'giving the game away for free'. I've never seen that happen with a triple A game of this caliber before. So I tend to believe there's truth in those teviews, that this game is not up to the standards as we expect from this franchise/developer.

It's not the price by itself that irks me. It's the fact that its digital only and on top of that asks full price for a 4 year old game.
Also, I really want the Universal Icons pack but that is not availlable in any of the game's editions, so that would be another €10 added to the total.
This is what the future for gaming is going to be, isn't it?
All digital, meaning no alternative stores with competing prices.
I'm still probably going to get it, but I don't like this precedent at all.

@DennisReynolds
Thanks for clarification! I guess I'll have to buy it now. Shame that the Universal Icons Car pack is not included in any of the editions. I need those BTTF Deloreans!

Is this still fun as a singleplayer free roam game? My young son likes racing games where he just can drive wherever he want, without really competing with the AI, if that makes sense.

Such a shame. I would love to buy this, once it gets a physical release.
€70 for a digtal only game that was originally released in 2021 is asking too much.
Especially since you also need to buy all DLC separately.

I need this so bad!
This seems like a perfect addition for the Switch. Yet, I like trophies on the PS5 as well.
But for some reason I always feel that I need to get physical pixelart games on cartridge instead of a disc.

I was interested in it solely in it because of the Nemesis system. That worked so good in the Middle Earth games and we've never seen is since. Such a shame.
