Honestly, strap Ichiban to a rocket and launch him into space. Idiot heroes are the worst, I've hated them since Ash decided to use his Charizard in the Pokemon championship qualifiers. I can't take Ichiban seriously as a protagonist because he's so incredibly thick I can't believe he's actually survived to the events of the game. There is also the disturbing way his "friends" seem to ignore his obvious signs of mental illness.

It's funny, previous artwork of Testament has depicted them as having a very definite masculine body type. Even their facial features were very masculine and so they seemed to have a kind of bishonen look. Testament now seems to look much more feminine. Are we going to see Poison level debates which will lead to the shrug of God?

I hate "git gud" elitism in gaming but if you refuse to engage in any experimentation, if you won't even attempt to figure out how to move, or manipulate the camera without express instructions, maybe gaming isn't for you. I started gaming nearly 40 years ago, my first games were Pacman, Battle Zone, Pong, I played them using a joystick with a single button, I remember my first 3D games using L1/R1 to rotate the camera because the PS1 originally came with a digital controller and games needed to accommodate people without the dual shock. Some games came with tutorials and some didn't, but even if a game left me to my own devices I'd just experiment until I was comfortable to move onward. Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon parodied tutorial hell extremely well, most games put you in a starting area with no real obstacles or challenges, it's usually the perfect place for basic movement and camera exercises, if you're waiting to be told how to move or how to maneuver the camera, maybe ask yourself if interactive media is really for you.

@rumple1980 Less competition is never a good thing. If Sony doesn't have to work for your money, what gives you the impression they would. Spending less money increases their profit margins and looks better to shareholders.

The leakers are my personal heroes. 50 quid is a lot of money to drop on something that's just going to make me miserable. So I can see why some people would get really mad over this, especially those that avoided the spoilers and were genuinely hoping to enjoy it. That said, it is what it is and the amount of time and effort to make the desired changes, well Sony will never greenlight it so chalk it up to a bad decision and exercise more caution next time.

I mean Spongebob Squarepants Battle for Bikini Bottom Rehydrated is due out on the 23rd so I'm going to have to pass on this one.

This is, at best, clickbait by Ubi, getting the viewers in by promising gameplay or at worse this is indicative of the quality of the gameplay in it's current state. I mean it shouldn't be hard, if you don't have a playable demo ready, don't promise a trailer based on gameplay.

I mean if your product is really good, then surely no amount of dissent or backlash would detract from that. It was looking like I was giving this a miss based on the leaks and this conduct does nothing to change my mind
