Slept in for a change as I'm normally up at 6AM. just the same as when the initial preorders were opened up, not having much luck

@thefourfoldroot
Exactly...a non-issue.

I'm quite happy to bully poor little games publishers by buying games during sales or second hand, because oddly enough despite inflation and dev costs they keep making record profits.

@mikeym
Well Sony've lied about a good few things thus far, so I'd wait until the camera adapter is in your hands before you believe them about it. That said I'd hold off for now, doubt it'll go out of stock soon.

@Matej
See, that I can understand, that's totally the right way to do it.
Edit: Same applies for concert tickets too.

Would have been amazing though.

@Icey664
You are selfish and £450 is also a hell of of a lot to spend on a present for a nephew, but it seems you want to play with him so...

@Icey664
I'm not necessarily assuming everyone is a scalper, but a lot of people have talked about applying for 2 or more preorders and not mentioned canceling them. Odd that.
And no, I don't think people should be allowed more than one preorder per person. If you wanted to buy your nephew one, it would have been more fair to give him yours, the present would have more worth that way.

@Icey664
Maybe wait until other people have one before taking more than your fair share.

@BaronSqwelch
Yeah those game prices are unacceptable.

Not a particularly cool prize at all...no thanks 🙄

Needs an option for 'Was waiting for Sony to announce a date to preorder, but greedy retailers have put me off the whole idea entirely'

Also, would be nice if a UK site actually showed UK prices too, it's one thing pandering to US first, but neglecting Sterling?

They can go spin! I've seen nothing yet worth the upgrade and seriously rethinking a preorder.

@rachetmarvel
I never thought the online games had the proper Final Fantasy vibe, this looks just the same and not much improved from FFXIV considering it's a single player PS5 game....unless it's not, which I fear is what it and also that wizarding world game unfortunately looks like too.

That was awful. FFXVI looked like a bad cross of FFXIV with Witcher 3 with 5 year old graphics.
Resi VIII looked ok, but it's another old IP along with loads of others (Abe's mates still doing same stuff they did on the psone) also too many remakes. Very depressing.

Sounds good for those who like it, not for me though, even if it is now free.

Considering Super Smash Brothers is terrible itself, this must really be bad.

I'm guessing £489 Disc £449 Digital

@lacerz
I had the money upfront to buy a PS2, but chose to use a finance deal, as I foud it useful. I paid for it within the timeframe and paid no interest. It's not idiotic if you know how to handle your financial affairs correctly.

@RBMango
Yeah what's the story with that, drinking too much again, or something more serious?

@nessisonett
I agree, and if they also had Sakaguchi back - even as a consultant - it would be amazing

If they're stuck price wise, after Microsoft's Xbox price reveal. Sony can pull the base out of each box, drop the ps5 price by £20 and flog the base on its own for £29.99 🤣

It's a new studio, I say give them a break, as you say they haven't been given much of a budget, so it explains why it's not Resi remake visuals. Judge them on the end result.

I saw this earlier.
I really hope it was the case that 505 had relented and meant to gift previous purchasers with both The Ultimate Edition now and then later the upgrade for the PS5.

As in: that they wanted to at least get some good PR from it, so had some kind of embargo to announce it later, but some chuckle brother hit the upgrade switch early and then reset it afterwards. If that's the case, they're not having much luck no matter what they do.

Not hugely fussed on any of them.

I'm expecting £450 but would be willing to go to £499.

I quite like the initial loading screens, and the fact you can take a screenshot and use it as a theme if you time it correctly.

There has been a little too much enthusiasm on here lately for 'playing devil's advocate' and 'Aren't dodgy publishers/their dodgy practices actually really good?' Little too much Brow-Nosing going on than I'd like to see.

12/15 Surprised how many I hadn't seen before, was expecting a jogcon in there.

[Grumpy old voice] See how you kids ruined gaming by buying into online multiplayer, MMOs, digital only consoles, lootboxes levelled enemies etc... what's going to to be next?..the thing YOU don't like?

Considering a lot of people's reaction to the awful Beta you would have thought they would have dropped such nonsense. No thanks.

Mostly useless, highlights for me were Lego Skywalker Saga, Ratchet & Clank and Sam & Max.

@Shepherd_Tallon
Yeah, if you live outside the US they'll cancel the order.

Pity, I'll not be buying it until it has a physical copy.

@SirAngry
Exactly DLC isn't GAAS, it's bad enough on it's own along with games needing day one patches to actually make them playable, but the latter is another example of the industry going down the ****hole.

@FearIsUseful
Disgraceful!

@Cloud39472
That's not full price it's an artificially inflated price.
Thankfully not true anyway.
For instance in the 90's the cost of games went through the roof due to similar greed. I remember Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 at £80 odds for example. People stopped buying new games as much until the prices eventually returned to normal.
Publishers and retailers need reminded every few years that the games industry is healthier when games are a reasonable price allowing customers to buy more titles in a year

@Diamond1980
Maybe to find your own words instead of parroting the same tired old phrases to wind people up.

@LiamCroft
I think it's totally fair assessment. The whole point of the intro is to get you interested in the game and it's pretty awful with clunky controls and a camera you're constantly fighting. It doesn't get much better after that and I'm sick of loot nonsense already after only just catching up on my games backlog to find loads of games doing it.

@Cloud39472
£50?...Certainly not at launch if the prices on Amazon for next gen titles turn out to be correct.
I just love how PS4 games have shot up to £50 or more so they have an excuse to add another £10 again on top of that for PS5 games.
That said, there's no way I'l be paying even £50 for this despite how good it looks.

@get2sammyb
'fazed'

@kyleforrester87
Totally agree about the multi disc cases.
Bring back manuals too, this seems lazy.

Ugh I noticed they were doing stupid...um..stuff with the new Crash Bandicoot at £54.99 on Amazon, just so they could bump it up by another tenner.
Not gonna fall for it again after paying for Mortal Kombat 3 for £80 odds and then the ultimate version came soon afterwards. Back to taking the preverbial and I want no part in it.

Can't say I'm a fan of heavy involvement with indie studios, it's great in theory as long as there's quality control, but it always seems to devolve into shovelware.
Switch is particularly bad at the moment.

Knew it was a good idea to hold out, definitely going to get it after the update.

'Salty' 'Cry babies' 'Snowflakes' etc.
I can't stress enough how sick I am of people on either sides of arguments clogging up comments on articles using repetitive cliched internet buzzwords.
Be it games, politics or whatever else, both sides seem to think the insult was made exclusively to mean the type of people they're arguing against and never them.
At least use original insults and not copy other phrases in a kneejerk fashion, it doesn't make anyone look particularly intelligent.

Finally! The black controller looks cool.

@GADG3Tx87
I've never clicked with Persona, but I get what you mean, hope it works out for you

That was fun, really annoyed I missed Alundra, didn't notice it as an option and it's one of my favourite PSX games grrr (to myself)
