Yeah, I get it... but at least it can be unlocked.

Imagine buying Q-Games' All You Need Is Help, advertised as 1-4 players with local co-op, only to find that 4 players are mandatory, with no AI opponents or bots to fill the gaps. You have to find other players online OTHERWISE YOU CANT PLAY THE GAME.

(Tbf, the store description was updated, but it's still misleading).

Depends on price. With this, and the likes of the recent Super Bomberman collection, I can't help but feel this isn't really what I bought a PS5 Pro for... but nevertheless a nice mid-90s nostalgia trip.

I have the original Cool Boarders on PS1, plus the digital re-release playable on PS3, PSP and PS Vita. Hasn't aged well, and surprised to see it re-released again... would be so much easier if Sony made the PS5 backwards-compatible with the PS3.

@themightyant @Mostik Glad you guys figured it out 😂

Note that the issue remains for certain Ubisoft games, which still differentiate between physical and digital... with separate installations and (annoyingly) separately tracked gameplay time. Fortunately save data is unified.

From memory, this applies to Assassin's Creed Mirage, The Crew Motorfest and Watch Dogs Legion, but not Star Wars Outlaws.

I'll only be impressed by AI when it unlocks 60fps on RDR2 /s

In fact, if AI is so bloody clever, it would let me download and play my PS3 games on my PS5 Pro... better than most of the rubbish on the PS store these days!

@themaladroit I'm pretty sure they already updated The Division 2 to 60fps on PS5?

Same issue as before... nice wallpapers but partially blocked by the widgets. Yes you can reduce them, but why is it mandatory to have at least three??

Also, why does the 'seasonal' wallpaper still show autumn/fall?... it's Christmas in two weeks!?

@windxtravelerx This is what we need to know, otherwise what enhancements are there over the existing (patched) PS4 version running on PS5?

Be$T GaMe EvERRrRrrRRRrRRrRrrR!!!!!!

Nice idea and a long time coming, but not if the reviews are anything like on Xbox. Surely AI can provide half-decent moderation?

Great sub-heading. Simple, accurate & informative.

Different gameplay mechanics, but the graphics are giving off Brütal Legend vibes (definitely a good thing!)

A game like this is crying out for a decent edit mode, allowing players to recreate real teams (and drivers) throughout the different eras.

@Czar_Khastik No need, they're always complete nonsense... and I mean that in a good way!

Take my money... that's one more old-school favourite no longer locked to the PS3.

Take note PixelJunk!

It's happening whether you agree with it or not, across all manner of industries. It enables businesses to reduce their costs and increase their profits, end of story. You don't like it?... don't buy their product.

Is there an official 30th anniversary faceplate for use with the disc drive add-on?

I don't need a PS5 port, just unlock the framerate on the PS4 version already!

@Darude84 Yes that's correct.

@Quintumply Top tier article sub-title 👍

Your move, RockStar

@NeonTiger Glad I'm not the only one. I've also never understood the insatiable need to force characters & wardrobes into racing games. The car's the star!

Does anyone know why it received a native Series X version, but not PS5?

Yeah I noticed the RDR sale price was higher than usual, but it never occured to me that the regular price had also increased.

@PJOReilly Nice review. Any use of DualSense features?

Personally The Crew 2 didn't realise hit the mark, but Motorfest is much, much better. Good to know it with remain playable, unlike the first game (still hoping they might do the same for that if the other two offline modes are well received).

Physical pre-orders are priced at 24.99 GBP in the UK which seems quite reasonable.

People need to stop leaning into things. If they're not careful they'll fall over.

Glad this is still looking as good as promised. I've had a physical copy pre-ordered since November!

This would be awesome... one of my favourite PS3 games. Gutted when it was delisted in 2015 and I missed the chance to buy on Vita.

@Cerny That was Astro Bot, not Astro's Playroom.

Nothing wrong with the old cover art, but sure why not. It's really the Astro Bot cover that needs updating from the boring text logo to the key art in the Library.

And I can't have been the only one that misread the article title as PS5 Pro support added to Astro's Playroom? 😆

Honestly, after the disappointment of Team Sonic Racing, I'd prefer a remaster of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed.

One less game locked away in the PS3-era dungeon.

Those faces immediately reminded me of Noby Noby Boy.

Which is a good thing

Still gutted that Heartlands was cancelled. A 60fps PS5 patch for The Division 1 would be nice... Xbox got it via FPS Boost.

@TurboTom I had the Postman Game way back in 1989 on my C64 and Amiga 500.

@nessisonett I believe light pollution concerns were the reason plans for a similar sized sphere in East London were cancelled.

I've downloaded the "new" Jak & Daxter, but not had time to compare the two yet. Hopefully Ape Escape 2 is next, as the current emulation it's pretty awful on PS5.

Loved the first game until it was broken by the DLC for many players. Credit to the dev team they issued numerous patches to fix the issue, but for some (including me) the only fix was to delete the save data and start again.

I'll go back to it someday...

On the day the SEGA Saturn released in July 1995, I interviewed for my first full-time job as a games buyer at my local HMV. The head office games buyer was hyped for it and didn't see the PlayStation as a serious contender. Having played Ridge Racer on my mate's Japanese import PS1, I politely disagreed.

I got the job and was proved right... the rest is history!

Checked for update but nothing available?

Hopefully this doesn't undo the 4K PS4 Pro patch which was problematic... but eventually fixed. It's also one of those annoying titles that has separate save data for physical & digital, but 60fps is a great reason to replay.

Looking forward to trying this out. I played it briefly back at launch and it just didn't have enough polish. Maybe I'd been playing too much GT7 but graphically it was very apparent it was a 3rd party, multi-platform title.

I'm fascinated to see how machine learning and AI in general can develop this feature. Some people are reporting PS4 games looking better on their PS5 Pro but only after playing a couple of times... that's just weird.

The downside is bugs and graphical glitches that will no doubt be introduced by AI, like the GTA Trilogy.

@Rich33 As long as you're signed in with the same PSN ID, you can always transfer the SSD to another console without the need to re-download anything. That's stated in the official Sony FAQ.

Fond memories of Hardball on C64 and Amiga. However, as a young NFL fan in the 80s I put many hours into another Accolade game... 4th & Inches. It had no official licenses so surprised and disappointed that it's not included.

I'm not being promoted to accept anything... 🤔

A discounted price would be nice before it's delisted. Hasn't featured in a sale for over 6 months.

They may just be 'Official News' posts, but what's the point if outdated - some of mine are over 3 years old. Also, there's definitely a growing trend for those feeds to advertise new games (and films).

Spider-Man Miles Morales is advertising Across The Spider-Verse as "coming soon in cinemas"... a bit embarrassing really.

The point is they were not designed to be displayed in this manner, so hopefully it will be amended.

Yeah I noticed the LEGO background on HZD, and also (can't remember which game) some old DLC/content from June being promoted as 'just released ' which was odd.

@thiagoauler The Explore tab was only for those in the US. The Welcome Hub will (eventually) be available for everyone.
