@graymamba It seems really cool. If you like other Grasshopper stuff, I definitely think you'll be into this. Very excited to see more.

@Drago201 Haha, I think it does need to have some kind of design flourish to make it stand out as a product, but the PS5 was a bit ridiculous really.

A potentially smaller box would be appreciated, as long as they can keep it quiet.

@Slayer25c You don't but it's still nicer when you're running around the environments exploring, and it even makes those menus snappier.

I think it's still preferable to play in 60fps, even if it doesn't massively affect gameplay like in an FPS or racing game.

@KillerIsD34D I think earlier demos were 30fps but what I played was definitely 60fps. Whether that will change or not before launch, I can't say. It was obviously an unfinished build.

@nikolai131 They didn't mention any plans to release a demo, but I'd say it sounds like a sensible idea!

@Markatron84 Oooft, good question! I was able to do one evolution during my session and I feel like the Digimon stayed at the level it was before I evolved it. But I wasn't paying 100% attention and I couldn't say with confidence that was the case.

Sorry!

@DennisReynolds From what I saw, particularly the area later in the game, it's a large zone you can explore as you please but there are only a handful of paths you can take.

@ryan_nil Detachable means exactly like the current range of PS5s. Which means it's not part of the actual hardware, and you can either add one optionally or buy a bundle where it's included.

@Waa-Laa Can't really say anything at the moment but we'll let you know what's going on when the embargo lifts. 🙃

@Stragen8 I think one thing worth considering with PS6 is that PS5 is going to remain the lowest spec for a long time after launch anyway.

@Frmknst It's just not true and a very reductive way of looking at things.

@ShadowRJ I personally think it's a great compromise. Like you say, it's good for hardware errors, but it also allows consumers to choose what they want.

And it gives you the flexibility to go digital and still add a physical option later.

It's one of the smartest things Sony's done IMO.

Any questions about the game just reply to me. I'll do my best to respond!

We've updated our review in progress ahead of the final review going live next week.

@Ricky-Spanish Bashing, or interesting insight from someone who was on the inside and saw the impact first-hand? 🤔

Thanks for participating everyone!

It's really helpful! And as @antdickens mentioned, we'll definitely be doing a site-specific survey in the future to try to understand your wants/needs better!

And Here We Go dot gif!

Great early review, Simon — excited to read your final thoughts.

@Icey664 100% agree with you on Jonah lol

@ShadowRJ Correct. He was also Krom in the Borderlands movie.

@4fold Jason Momoa? Cody Rhodes? Roman Reigns?

The game is finally out on PS5 and PS4. I've updated the page.

@Ainu20 100% agreed with you.

Enjoy the game, everyone!

@RPG121 ???

Yesssssssssss! Let’s do this, Bub!

@ShogunRok We haven't had this one for a while!

@dskatter Well he says that they were counting on PS5 being the biggest system for the game, especially as PS4 was the biggest platform for World.

Of course the game has many other issues (as mentioned in the article) but I think his point makes a lot of sense — especially in Japan where PS5 is extraordinarily expensive.

@DrVenture69 Haha! Obviously it's very tame, but you can see the inspirations from those games in what they're trying to do here.

@awp69 No it wasn't. It was fourth on Xbox-only platforms and didn't make the top 20 on all formats. The Elder Scrolls Online was second on Xbox-only platforms and didn't make the top 20 on all formats either.

Thus, we can surmise the numbers of the Xbox-only charts are very low.

If you have a source where Alinea Analytics denied their initial prediction then I'll happily update.

@awp69 I mean, as always Alinea is just estimates and we don't know their methodology, but I'm not really sure how this article disproves anything.

As you say it was on the Xbox specific sales charts but it didn't make the all formats Top 20, so we just don't have enough data to know either way.

(The Elder Scrolls Online was also 2nd in the Xbox charts and didn't make the all-formats top 20; Death Stranding 2 was first on PS and second on all-formats).

This is pretty amusing.

@nessisonett To be fair, though, the open world is pretty mind blowing and they expand it every six weeks. You don't really need to pay anything to enjoy it either.

@WhoderMan It does seem like the price may be the biggest mistake here. It’s weird because I feel Sony’s usually very good with its pricing.

@o8-bit_Munky It was only ever free for PS Plus. It's still showing for me, I can't believe this hasn't been fixed.

Whoops! I forgot to leave my mandatory top comment. Any questions, let me know!

@rjejr I'm sure you'll be able to switch the controls.

@coolioam You may prefer Mario Kart but I disagree this "feels like garbage".

@EvenStephen7 There are difficulty options and I did notice an auto-steer toggle, yes. I think it'll be fairly kid friendly but I obviously didn't get to explore ALL of the accessibility options.

@PsBoxSwitchOwner Thanks for the feedback, but there are 1000s of games on sale, so we're certainly not suggesting buy everything.

As noted in the article, we're spotlighting games that achieved a certain review score. Hopefully by including a larger spread people can find something that appeals to them. (Everyone has different tastes.)

However, we are looking into ways we can make these articles more digestible.

@Whirlwound Again, really hard to say from a short hands-on, but I'd say so. It's still got that chaotic element you'd expect from a kart racer, but I didn't find myself getting battered at the finish line.

@w1p3out I believe it starts on Friday: https://www.pushsquare.com/guides/sonic-racing-crossworlds-beta-all-start-times-how-to-play-and-whats-included

@Whirlwound I won my last two races but struggled with the first couple, specifically the first one.

I'd need to play more to comment on rubber banding, but I felt like I was up against it in all of my races.

@Dodoo It's definitely still working for me. Try web browser.

If you've got any questions about Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds do let me know!

@Dodoo It's still showing as free for me. Which country are you in?

Looking forward to trying out Psychonauts 2 and Viewfinder.

@rjejr You're right, I missed that! Will update now! Thanks!

Man this is SO cool. I kinda want to dive back in and build my own ship now.

@katamariUK I'm not sure actually. I didn't play for a few months. Will check later.

Thanks for reading my impressions on Denshattack everyone! If you've got any questions, just let me know!

@Ellie-Moo You definitely can, yes. In fact it might get you interested in the show.
