@Oram77 The demo was a genius move. Really helps you "get" it.

These are pretty funny to be fair.

@chatbot I wonder if they'll do both a new PS Portal and the PS6 handheld, or if that's going to be confusing.

Feels like they'll occupy different needs though.

This device has become a crazy win for Sony.

@CielloArc Yeah I saw that about them using two.

@Dorkthrone Well I can’t speak for him but for me as soon as I saw some of these comparisons my initial thought was that they completely neuter the original art direction.

Damage control has since come out saying devs will have more control over how intensively this is used, but I personally don’t like the examples shown so far

@DualWielding Upscaling, yes. But don’t change the original artist’s intent.

@Areus Not going to lie, I will probably buy this if it comes to Europe just to put on my shelf.

I realise I'm a sucker.

@MasterChiefWiggum @themightyant @Ajazbo Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it!

@S1ayeR74 There'll be a lot more coverage on Crimson Desert over the coming weeks, so enjoy wrapping up Requiem for now.

Happy PS5 Pro day folks!

@BanChatum Thanks, hope you enjoy the game!

@GirlVersusGame Thank you for the kind words! And I’d absolutely love to do more stuff like this given the opportunity.

@TheArt Get yourself a mocha my man!

@Jake3103 Thanks man!

@TheArt What do you have to look forward to each day if not a cup of coffee?

@Dimey I think it's a compliment, thanks for reading!

@Yor-sama For real, sounds like DokeV will be next from them.

@janineking Thank you for the positive words!

@Michael2008ish Agreed! What's your go-to flavour?

@Scottyy Haha yes, I'm very hyped for DokeV too. Cool they're still working on it.

@madmaxrules Oh my god I don't think I did go in there and now I'm gutted. Oh well, now I have a reason to go back!

@Number09 So glad you enjoyed it, thanks for reading!

@Coolmusic They mentioned it a few times so it’s definitely still in development.

As I said in the article, the recording studio had some skateboard props which they explicitly mentioned they’re using for DokeV.

@Anke Thank you! I really enjoyed the visit and it’s awesome to be able to share it with you.

I have to really give credit to Pearl Abyss to give me unprecedented access like this.

@Dragon83 All games are made to make money, let's be real here.

You may not like the way live service games are monetised, but that's the cost of constantly adding new content every other week.

It's just a different model to single player games, I wish people would understand that more.

(Not saying you have to like it or even play those games, just respect why the model is different.)

This is utterly absurd. I think the Steam CCU stuff is interesting data, taken in context. But the obsession with it has just gone too far now.

@freddquadros So far 30% do haha.

Personally, I absolutely love it. This is the most Sammy Coded game I've seen in quite some time.

@nessisonett Not on Game Pass I don't think but is Play Anywhere which does suggest some Microsoft involvement to an extent.

@psmr Yeah, I don't think Sony and Square Enix have the best relationship right now either.

But frankly I think they'll learn when Final Fantasy 7 Remake 3 launches multiformat, without any of Sony's marketing spend, and splits its audience between all platforms but fails to actually grow at all.

Those new outfits are pretty awesome.

I guess you do also get the streaming but I agree the rollout of the retro games has been so glacial and disappointing.

They're sitting on such a wealth of stuff.

Tekken is a good addition this month, but then you remember it's Bandai Namco so no Trophies!

@GirlVersusGame Love that!

Finally, everyone can get at least one Trophy in Fortnite lol.

@SMJ I mean, surely it's relevant. The whole thing is basically about Sony not offering any other options on its hardware, which Microsoft has now said it's going to do.

If this is real it would be an absolutely killer lineup, but I'm not sure I believe it.

PS Plus Extra has been getting a lot better though.

@Scottyy Requiem is awesome so far! I've not finished it yet.

This sounds amazing! Sucker Punch has gone above and beyond!

@Barry_vV Yeah, and they might have other unannounced stuff too.

@RedRiot193 @scoobdoo Okay, but turns out we're not alone: https://www.metacritic.com/game/marathon/

Please leave discussion/feedback of other reviews in the appropriate venues.

This is the place to talk about Monster Hunter Stories 3 and Rob's excellent review.

Thank you!

@AverageGamer Potentially but Nintendo will also be fighting tooth and nail to protect their walled garden as well.

@Boxmonkey Big advantage PS6 will have is locking people into Sony ecosystem.

Microsoft will not be able to guarantee people who buy Helix will be spending in their store.

That will push the price right up as the model has historically always been built on selling the hardware to make money on games/microtransactions.

@Czar_Khastik Put this post in the Louvre

@GamingGod That’s just your algorithm my man. Dont worry, I won’t tell! 😂

I think they should keep them too. Maybe there’s a way to make them slightly less childish, but we’ll see.

@AinsleyE The problem is they'd also have to pay NetEase to buy out the investment they've already put into the game, so it's more than just the $44 million required to finish it.

@PuppetMaster It would be really nice if someone picked it up, yeah!

Man, I'm gutted! Nagoshi deserved this chance to branch out on his own.

@Fuzzymonkeyfunk Finally?! It's only been out a week!

@Oram77 I mean PSSR is designed to improve over time. It'll keep getting better. It's one of the advantages of them releasing PS5 Pro because it will help PS6.

@PuppetMaster It's always the same. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

@RedRiot193 Well I would say that was 12 years ago and I think we've learned a lot since then.

@Cherip-the-Ripper Ultimately this is a lose-lose situation for us.

If we rush to write the review now and the endgame mode is good/bad, we'll get criticised for not waiting and overscoring/underscoring the game.

If we wait for the endgame content, then we'll get criticised for not rating what's available right now.

Ultimately, all we can do here is be transparent about it.

@RedRiot193 It’s an extraction shooter and players need time to build up their pool of loot to tackle the endgame.

Thats why it’s not available immediately and why they’re suggesting — not requiring — reviewers wait to try it first.
