@curriemonster I agree with everything you've said on here. Damn shame that the first update is such a controversial stinker.

There's a top drawer racer underneath it all, but still....

Restore the payouts to 'at least' what they were originally and give me the option to remove all those MT prompts from the game (GT Sport had this option, I believe).

Smashing game TBH, but Polyphonys rep has had a righteous kicking because of this BS. They need to take swift action.

@Nacheis Doubtful, mate. I believe the controllers use the headsets 'inside out' tracking to accurately map their position. Although?.....
Maybe they could somehow bring PS5's camera into play for those who fancy motion controls for flatscreen gaming?

Be a nice bonus feature if they could.

@nessisonett ... "It’s like paying £70 to get into a club, which raises the prices of drinks and then doesn’t even let you past the bouncer."

Quoted for (unfortunate) accuracy. 👍

@get2sammyb God, I hope you're right. GTA5 VR?..... I'd hardly see the real world. 😂
Top notch and fair review BTW. It was a great game back in the day. It's a great game now.

Surprised how much of it I've forgotten TBH. To me, it's almost like a new release, but with a hint of deja vu. 👍

@Kidfunkadelic83 It gets a bit tougher later on, but I know what you mean. I've had incredible battles followed by easy wins followed by no chance of winning whatsoever. Could do with a bit of balancing in places, methinks.
Tremendous when it's in the sweet spot though. 👍

@Kidfunkadelic83 So, the only races (from the cafe menus) I've seen that are that long are the ovals. Some of the other tracks, as you progress through the menus, are 4-5 lappers. Maybe longer races would be an option later on, but so far it looks like you'd have to venture outside the cafe for what you want.
I'd like that too TBH. It's a shame there's no way (so far) to scale the events as you wish, outside of custom races.

What a game!
How far in are you all BTW? I'm about to start menu 37 (be a lot further if I had the time) and I'm loving it. Had an absolutely EPIC race around Deep Forest last night. Literally came down to a last corner banzai move...... Which I messed up, so finished second. 😂

Also, there's a monkey in a tree at Trial mountain.
..... Not even joking! 😵

Ghost Of Tshambles!

Sony are doing a lot right, absolutely nailing the new gen IMO, but?....
They do like to complicate matters every once in a while.

@Mezzer I think I'm with you there. Fantastic game. And so addictive!
It really has that 'one more go' appeal.

@arra1213 Those figures were referring to Elden Ring's sales, mate. 👍

Can't wait to get cracking on this. Had it sitting on my PS5's SSD for a few days now, teasing me.

This being Polyphony, I was expecting a last minute delay. 😂

Why is there no 'Useless noob who'll never git gud' class?
Had it for every other Souls game that's chewed my ass. 😂

@riceNpea Yeah, I've been talking to them, mate. I joined the Discord group that weebleman set up. I haven't half missed you all.
I quit my EG account months ago, because of what was happening there and how they were treating site members who'd basically made the site what it was. They had something special and now?...... Yeah, it's all gone Pete Tong. It'll bite them on the a**e one day.

This site is decent though. At least they report on actual gaming news. 👍

@riceNpea Big hugs back at ya, my friend. 😊

Just removed the underscores from my username as I wasn't getting notifications. Hopefully that's fixed it.

@riceNpea Well said as ever, sir.
Also..
How are you doing, mate? Long time no see. 😊

@code45709 Well miss me no more, me old mucker! 😁😁😁
Sorry I wasn't in touch BTW, mate. It was on my to do list, but I've had a hectic few months. A drawn out and stressful house move (and a boatload of decorating to go with it) and... I caught Covid, slap-bang in the middle of it! 😳
Pretty bad, too. Wasn't hospitalised, but it wasn't pleasant. So yeah, it's only been in the last few weeks that things have settled into normality.

You, weebleman and rice, all on the same site. Nice. 😊
Let's hope we can drag a few more of the gang away from those ungrateful, undeserving of their community, heathens at EG. 😠

Good to speak to you again, my friend. 😊😊👍

... Ooh, almost forgot... @riceNpea & @Weebleman... "How-doooo, chaps"! 😁

I'm completely onboard with you, sir. 👍

I'm alright with 30fps, depending on the game, but having a few months of PS5's buttery goodness has left me needing a longer period of acclimatisation to go back to it.
Also, games given a PS5 update, God Of War (absolutely stunning) Ghost of Tsushima, etc, are given such a new lease of life, you just couldn't go back to how they were pre-PS5.

Fly in the ointment though..... TLOU2, my favourite game ever, is yet to be blessed with those extra, lovely frames.

..... DON'T MAKE ME COME ROUND THERE, NEIL!! 😂

I feel ya, Sammy.
Despite buying Demon's Souls, Dirt 5, Immortals: Fenyx Rising, Spidey MM and Sackboy at launch, the old PS4 favourites have been in my personal spotlight as much as the (excellent) new stuff.

God of War and Infamous, looking and running tremendous. Ghost of Tsushima, which I held off on while PS5 sprinkled it with next-gen wizardry. What a game!
Hell, even games like F1 and GT Sport are being revisited, just because that superb controller makes them handle better than ever.

Give me a 60fps patch for TLOU2 and my gaming nirvana is complete. 👍

Very impressed with what Sony's Chonky Boi is delivering so far.

@Weebleman Shhhh!
Don't tell Eurogamer I have Push Square as my 'bit on the side'. 😂

Ooh, questions...

1.) Can I have it? 🥺

... Seriously, my kids have bagged mine as a Christmas present. ☹️

@get2sammyb Isn't it just?
It's like Olive from On The Buses crossed with Linda Blair from The Exorcist.

Ooh, I couldn't pick a single one of those options. I want all of them, especially 'other'...
Other being, "Are you wining and dining Gabe Newell, Sony"?!

Yeah, I really want HL: Alyx on PS5.

Day one. Same with TLOU 2.... That one was a no-brainer TBH. I'm a huge TLOU fan (As my longstanding Eurogamer account comments will confirm), same with GoW...
I did go through a stage where I never bought games immediately, but now, as the gen comes to a close, it feels like buying them at full whack is sending a message.
.... Keep 'em coming, Sony!
Keep making stupendous, top quality, single player games, polished to the Nth degree. Give studios the time, money and freedom to create such stellar experiences, where the care and attention oozes from every single pixel.....
... Take my money!

Now I just need someone to create an 'enough time to play 'em' DLC. 😂

Seriously though... My gaming backlog. 😳

Index like finger tracking?
Do I dare hope (pray) for a PS5/PSVR2 version of HL: Alyx?

Make it happen, Sony. 👍

I think the fan noise is a good thing.
Whenever I slip in a crafty gaming session my missus thinks I'm doing the vacuuming, so it keeps me in the good books.

Seriously this is a good thing. The racket my Pro makes these days makes headphones a must for my gaming.

That does sound terrific. My kids will lap this up.
Not me, unfortunately. Not enough gaming/creating time on my hands these days to make my own videogaming wonders. ☹️

I'm looking forward to trying all of yours though. 👍

I have never been so excited over a videogame in my entire life.
Can. Not. Wait. 😁
