@viktorcode oh thanks for the heads up. I will sell it whilst it's doing well...

I have over 50 hours on this. I hardly play extraction shooters, but love the concept. This hits just right to me. Loving it! Hope it can last.

Ridge Racer CarPG?

True video gamers don't like golf, but love video game golf.

Golfigure!

just started playing the second game (it's on PS Extra). It's a super chill game so far. Nice for those laid back evenings after a days worth of your boss barking at your backside (picture that).

All roads lead back to Street Fighter...

Did they say they were going to finish the one they've already released this year? (Performance issues).

I would like to see Ridge Racer 8

I can't play 2XKO due to severe screen tearing during gameplay (horizontally right in the middle too).

Is it just me? I dunno why it's not being talked about too much. I told Riot via surveys and an update came yesterday, but sadly no fix.

I'm on PS5 Pro (1440p VRR)

@Bsb56 Worrying thing is... you can find reddit posts complaining about screen tearing from about a year ago Doesn't bode well...

It was reported nearly a year ago that screen tearing was wrecking the experience on PS5 and low and behold, I am experiencing the same shiz on my Pro with VRR (I've tried without too). Anyone else getting screen tearing? It's pretty bad as it occurs in the centre of the screen.

Sometimes we get a weekend to try out fighting game betas. Sounds like they effectively using it as a beta period.

Probably using it for feedback. The game will probably change on the back of the feedback and therefore if the demo was still about when the game is finally released, then it will not be an accurate representation of the game. I am completely guessing here....

Give us Vagrant Story, you cowards!

Hamster's Arcade Archive 2 version is great. Easiest Platinum trophy too if that's your thing. The game just plays brilliantly (on the analog stick too!).

Has online leaderboards as well as steering wheel support!

I think both can happily exist though. Hamster's is a perfect arcade port whereas the PS1 version is a slice of history. If you are PS enthusiast, chances are you may have already subbed to Plus Premium and for your loyalty you can check out that slice of PS history. The system seller, the one, the only.... Riiiiiiidge Raceeeeeeeer!!

ICE CREAM! ICE CREAM!

No Sektori in the list at all indicates that real gamers are more or less extinct.

Trails in the Sky First Chapter is my game to play over the xmas period. I played the demo and everything about it just hits. If I come out of the other side wanting more, I will have only about 15 more games in the series to grab

Indy means whips, hats, monkey brains, big boulders and museums!

I find the lack of Sektori here disturbing

The real answer is Sektori. Cowards!

Sektori. Nothing else even close for me this month.

Oh I'm playing it and I'm am hooked!

Best fighting game so far. I currently have banked 1600 hours on it. I try to at least play 10 matches a day to keep me fit and healthy

2 big ones for me land on 4th Nov. Satisfactory and Football Manager 26.

Doo doo doooo, Hugo Ekitike!

I would like a God of War soccer game.

@IronCrow86 Only after reading your message have I realised his name is indeed NOT 'Balrog'.

It's finally time for Tokyo Jungle

You could use video capture. Depends on what bitrate the recording saves at, but that's one way

I have this on iPad, Mac, Switch and soon PS5. I'm a big fan!

Great to see the graphical upgrade. Hope some of those extra synths become available as DLC at some point. The Sega Otoori (has sounds from Outrun, Powerdrift, Space Harrier etc) and Taito's Ebina (Darius, Ninja Warriors etc).

Shame about the lack of audio exporting. There's ways around it though.

@get2sammyb Us lucky muso wannabe PlayStation users now have Korg Gadget which was sneakily released on the store today. They've kinda remastered it using 3D synths/drum machines. The app now runs in UE.

It tried the Xbox app in big screen on Meta Quest 2 and it ran absolutely bobbins. Latency issues. Looking like it wasn't loading etc.

What if I connect an old mouse which has the ball underneath. Flip dat over and there we go, a small trackball. MAtch made in heaven if the mouse is a PS2 connection. Sorry, I am old... moving along...

@MrPeanutbutterz Jointly owned alongside Endeavor. When I say sponsor, I mean they get their hardware out there at Evo: Consoles (contraversially), displays, headsets and now the new stick

@get2sammyb ah cool. I look forward to it!

I felt like this showcase was for the PS fans like me who miss the Japanese dev friutful overload of the mid 90's. Even onwards into the PS3 era where eventually outfits like Japan Studio would collapse.

This SoP was for us and it was great to see Sony read the room (the room with the older gamers in ).

Even more so, seeing how Sony have been actively looking to get into the fighting game scene. They've been sponsoring EVO etc, and now go to one of the best fighting game devs in the world and hook it up to one of the most reknowned crossover franchises the FGC have witnessed. Sounds like there are people at Sony who are tuned in and not sitting on the looter shooter/F2P/Hero shooter/open world slop train with their trousers down peeing into the wind.

Well done Sony.

Slightly disappointed by how this looks on PS5 Pro in Performance mode. The level of detail is pretty bad in the not very far away distance. You can see low quality textures, especially on the roads and it does take you out of the game a bit.

The game defaults to Quality mode, which does look beautiful, but the frame rate is half, but a bit jarring too. Maybe frame pacing is off. Might not even be hitting 30.

I understand that this is game is on a whole new engine and I maybe I shouldn't expect the visuals and performance to be similar to the much older Snowrunner, but Snowrunner is still absolutely gorgeous and runs at 60FPS.

The pop-in is pretty bad also.

I hope they can optimise further in updates as game itself is fun. Just being a Pro owner and the Roadcraft FAQ says there were Pro enchancements.

Such a shame. The game is great. That marketing was a shambles

I've not played it yet, but I do believe it has Rogue-Like mechanics. If so, chances are: The more you play, the more you get out of it. I'm rather excited for it. Oo-er!

That there is a legendary detective who goes by the name of Sam Cruise, see?

@Jrs1 ah my bad, ok this line... "Nice beaver"

Best line from all the movies... "That ain't a knife, THIS is a knife!"

Why? Just.....why? What's next - Jet Set Willy with Dualsense support?

@ShogunRok Sorry to go on about PS5 Pro performance. So, if it's not very good at all for PS5 Pro, did you test it on standard PS5 for the majority and if so, is it ass ?
Im a massive MH fan, but I was pretty appalled with the image quality of the game on base PS5, so I did a potentially silly gamble and got a Pro for this game. It was a gamble, but Capcom came out weeks later to say there will be a patch for Pro on release. However, after reading this review, I am pretty much thinking I poo'd my pants thinking getting a Pro was going to save us.

I guess that PSSR didn't do the magics as it did on FFVII Rebirth (in terms of image quality). On the Wilds Beta, on base (and later on my Pro), the 60FPS mode's image quality would tend to smear the image at times. Pretty ugly. Ah well. That'll teach me.

Isn't the Pro patch meant to be dropping on DayOne or did the review code app have Pro support?

@djlard £11.99

It's now live.

Someone got paid for thinking up this formula. Money making GaaS game + one of Sony's biggest video game characters = it's a simple win... right?

I do like the odd GaaS game (The Division etc), but this idea should have been shut down immediately.

@get2sammyb Thank you.

I tend to come here first for my reviews. You guys tend to be one of the first too. More often than not, before or same time as DF. Would be great. Either way, I will always be here for the review drops
