I have been checking for news of this for months, so it's good to have a date, finally. I never liked the voiced character, though the female voice was preferable. But the sense of discovery was great, and the fact you could jump while running - a feature still missing from Skyrim after its many iterations, irritatingly.

Yet another extremely hyped game that I know I won't like. I'm beginning to question my Britishness, with the sheer number of games which aren't my cup of tea..

Supercars and Supercars 2 (had to look those up to verify my memory..) were great on the Amiga back in the Nineties. This game might be somewhat fun, too.

I expect that it'll be another way-too-on-the-nose allegory for people being ruled by their brain-washed consumerist desires, and feature a Sim breaking into real-life to live an 'authentic' life.

So I'd better do some overtime so I can buy those cinema tickets!

Not the greatest acting, other than the ghoul's Jack Nicholson-style sneer. But I reckon with Fallout's humour, the TV version can get away with being a bit of a pantomime.

As long as the Fallout 4 PS5 upgrade comes out in April too so I can 'play along at home', I'll be happy.

I admit I was quite glad that Starfield wasn't a revolutionary all-time classic, just out of 'sour grapes'; but I'd definitely play it were it to come to PS. Doubtful though I think.

I probably won't even try Foamstars (no desire to be shot by random teenagers, regardless of the setting). But the other two are great for me - games I wouldn't quite buy, but am intrigued by. Rollerdrome especially; it looks fabulously stylish, but is probably way outside my competence zone.

It looks okay to me - the original Prince of Persia used the best graphics possible at the time, so it's nice that this new one isn't going down the nostalgic 'pixel art' route, which to me often comes across as a lazy cop-out.

I've been checking for updates on this rather obsessively, so it's nice to just know it's still in the pipeline. So I can stop obsessing, at least until 1st January.

It seems like a missed opportunity that they ditched the 80s retro approach, which added so much charm to the original Vice City. This just looks like a swampier, sweatier GTA5 (though I'm sure it'll still be great).

I'm hoping for a positive Steamworld Build review before the small PS Plus discount expires on it's release date (1st Dec). I reckon it may be really good.

More Cyberpunk until something else can lure me away, such as: a Fallout 4 PS5 upgrade, the Biotech DLC for console Rimworld - or possibly Steamworld Build (the Steamworld Dig games I actually completed, which is a rarity).

'Engage in diplomacy', eh? Better get evolving, sharpish. But this looks okay; I'd prefer a 'Grounded' clone though, as I envy that on Xbox.

I thought Sims was already a 'hustle', with the sheer amount of over-priced DLC.

As long as the 'surprise' isn't that they're delaying the update/DLC until next year to avoid another sh*t-storm, I'm happy..

Just killing time awaiting the Cyberpunk update/DLC. That Saints Row 'freebie' was surprisingly crap I thought, somehow managing to strip away the charm of its predecessors without notably improving the graphics/gameplay. Whereas Generation Zero at least feels vaguely original. And Swedish!

I'm looking forward to 'Toss', apparently releasing on the 7th. Can't be hard for that to surpass my expectations..

I'll give Saints Row a go, until the Cyberpunk update comes out. And I'll probably try Gen Zero, on the basis that maybe it's not crap, just tragically misunderstood..

I downloaded this last night - a nice surprise to get for free (having got the game plus all DLC for about £20 a while ago).

I don't understand people holding a grudge against the developers - the first reviews made clear the game was a mess, and first-day buyers could get refunds in the end, I seem to remember? It was good earlier this year on PS5; should be great after the update. Refusing to play it now sounds like 'cutting off your nose to spite your face'.

I liked the Amiga RoboCop game! Though it was too hard to get that far in I think.

As for this one, if they stick to an FPS Robocop 'tribute' game, close to the films, I may buy it on sale. But really, the updated Cyberpunk is going eat this game's lunch (a jar of baby food, naturally).

@KaijuKaiser I bought it long enough after launch that I wasn't really thinking about 'broken promises' from the Devs - if you just take it for what it is, I found it to be a great-looking (quite superficial) city, great acting/characters, and plentiful, gory, satisfying combat. The police are immersion-breaking in their crapness, but this should improve via this update.

@Thumper - well, with any luck the bugs will be in the DLC, and I won't get to that for a while..

I bought Cyberpunk a couple of months ago, and loved it for two weeks or so - but since hearing of the DLC and update in September, am holding off playing it again until then. Almost painful, waiting.

This is a Day One download for me.

Am I going mad, or is the COD file size frickin' enormous? It wanted me to free up 300 GB of space! I'd like to play it but not that much..

I always wanted the Police Quest games to be more open, and I did like American Fugitive, but found the top-down viewpoint intolerable after a while. This game may kill those two birds with one stone.

It's a good game, so I might try the trials. But I'm pretty sure that any randomly-selected 500 teenagers would have better reaction times than me these days.

Happy with the Dinosaurs; the ball-players and ninjas notsomuch. So that's fine.

It would be good if you could import/sync your Hogwarts Legacy character with this game; though I doubt that'll happen. I'm sure it would lure more HL players to buy it though.

If Amazon want to gamify one of their properties I'd prefer if it was 'The Boys' - they actually improved on the source material with that by most accounts.

I am, definitely, middle-aged and perhaps that's why I don't see the point of mimicking the crap look of games from decades ago.

@hookedWORM17 Yep, Flashback was the first thing that sprang to my mind. I loved Flashback when it was first released, though remember wishing that its world was more open and 'living/breathing' than the illusion it gave.

What I don't understand about modern 'pixel art' games is that the original games they ape had the best possible graphics manageable at the time. Surely these days, a 2D platformer could be made with pretty-much photo-realistic graphics/motion-capture. But I haven't noticed any attempts at this.

I'd quite welcome the use of AI to run conversations your character has with NPCs, and the clunky chatbot style would work fine if the NPCs were actual robots in a sci-fi setting.

The bigger question around making humans redundant by outsourcing to AI is a much bigger one, that goes way beyond some Ubisoft employees. Not sure where to begin..

This looks fine for nostalgia purposes, but otherwise comes across as an extremely poor man's Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate - an exquisite game with a similar premise that you can buy for next-to-nothing.

I like the Steamworld games and this could be great, but only if the UI is okay on console; hopefully they can as good a job as Rimworld managed.

Maybe games about pandemics just aren't as popular as they might have been a few years ago.

Do you mean 'tenet' in the title of this article?

I hope it's better than their last game, 'Dick Move'. That was released completely unfinished I seem to remember.

It is very good on the PC, but I found the controls pretty fiddly with mouse/keyboard, so I'm sceptical of it being a pleasure on console. I too would appreciate a review. And then a sale..

I love this game on the PC, but can't imagine a satisfactory UI on PS4. Would be very happy to be proven wrong though.

I'm a bit wary of this; The Amazing American Circus was supposed to be a novel spin on Slay the Spire - but I found it to be quite a flop.

ToM sounds too multiplayer-oriented, while I bought CotDG just a couple of weeks ago (nice graphics, but a poor man's Dead Cells). I have no interest in football, but haven't played a football game since Sensible Soccer (which was fun) so might try FIFA.

Episode 2? Is there no end to this Bell?!

I love Slay the Spire; the most addictive game I've ever played - beware!

I have been toying with the idea of ARK for a while, so I'm fairly happy (huge file size though).

I'm hoping my Harry Potter fan of a wife will urge me to get a PS5 when this releases.

A decent month, though Godfall and Mortal Shell sound a bit similar to me. The Lego one sounds better than the 'Ninjago' one given away last year, so am looking forward to that.

If your character is a bird, why the hiking? Has it got a broken wing?

They should have remade San Andreas as a DLC story for GTA5. I think most of the locations are already on the GTA5 island already (and they could open that casino for single-player at last).
