Looks great, but not my cup of tea. Best of luck to Bungie, though!

Reznor and Ross are a force to be reckoned with. Can't wait for ND to release more details on the game (and more trailers, hopefully including gameplay footage)!

@PerpetualBoredom Yes, read the book first though (thankfully).

@ChromaticDracula I completely agree CG trailers are mostly useless, but this one is at least in-engine, and it's been so long we don't see an actually new IP from NaughtyDog... Hope you like it!

@ChromaticDracula It's 4m30s well spent, friend! The trailer may not show gameplay, but it does a great job communicating the atmosphere and mood of the story (not to mention a preview of the fantastic music that's complementing the visuals)!

So looking forward to this... That reveal trailer was absolute perfection (for my nerdy tastes, of course)!

Unfortunate how this time the most sensible decision is the one that's a departure from the "norm".

Shame media outlets on YouTube were apparently only allowed to publish (pointless) unboxing videos... Must be an NDA thing, I guess...

Not my cup of tea (more of a single-player person myself), but it's brilliant to see games thriving on "competing platforms", be it Xbox games on PlayStation or PlayStation games on PC.

Hell hath no fury like a Steam player scorned...

Shame there’s no physical version, though. Hopefully a “complete edition” down the line, including the DLC?

Ha! I just thought I really sucked at driving, never met a single timed car delivery requirement! Regardless, having a great time with the expansion so far.

Having unlocked the Platinum previously, I’m going to play 2.0 on the PC now. The RT Overdrive update is gorgeous, and made me double-dip earlier this year, now I'm ready to revisit Night City!

@ShogunRok Fantastic! It's great to have the choice!

Since progression will be overhauled, I wonder if character builds/save games from the current version will still be compatible with 2.0...

Even if Sony only broke even selling copies of these (and other big budget 1st party games), they are at least bringing in old and new players - and making sure their 30% cut of software developed by 3rd parties is in their pocket.

Not sure about the other countries, but Argentina (next-door neighbour, as I live in Brazil) has been suffering with over 100% inflation a year. The price hike is, unfortunately, totally justified in that case.

It'd be great if they offered cross-platform cloud saves, like what CDPR is doing to The Witcher 3 curren-gen version coming out next month, but I know it's unlikely.

Have they mentioned anything about save transfers? I finished the main campaign on PS4, would love to tackle the DLC on the PS5 version...

@truerbluer Not entirely, I'd say, after all Sony gets a nice share of all games sold on their platform (30%, if I'm not mistaken).

Well, executives looking for ways to make more money. That's basically their job description.

Started it last week, already 10 hours in (playing on PS5). Quite fun, actually, I'll just keep going and finish it, I guess. Maybe I'll revisit next year (especially if the Platinum is fun to unlock).

Am I too silly to expect a Gradius related announcement? Perhaps "Simpsons Arcade", now that bringing old licensed IPs back to life is in fashion?

New Game+ should make the Master Difficulty run a lot easier. I gave up on going for the Platinum because of it, it's quite challenging!

I was actually excited for the premise, but seeing the game in motion has convinced me I can very easily wait until it's heavily discounted. Still gonna play it, though.

Brilliant! A great single player game, deservingly successful!

This is great! I went back and finished Syndicate all the way until the Platinum - a lot more fun than I expected! The bugs on PS5 were actually mild, mostly visual glitches (light and shadow) that manifested during daylight gameplay. Annoying, but nothing gamebreaking (in my personal opinion, of course).

Do these new difficulty and accessibility options affect the Trophies in any way? Can you still unlock them if making use of them?

As the years go by, the industry as a whole grows - a lot. It's only natural that the latest events will spark the interest of more and more people.

This has (unfortunately) been in my backlog for ages... guess it'll stay there a little longer.

@Jacko11 My bet is on something related to the tech behind GamePass Cloud gaming - maybe like streaming big games within other games...

I'm just happy it won't be a "mobile phone exclusive" game. I'm totally fine enduring booting up the Xbox in order to play a Kojima game.

I'm a simple, mediocre player - you add an easy mode I can revert to if I can't deal with the normal mode, I'm happy customer. They just sold another copy!

Still think this game begs for a VR version, and will likely skip it (unless the Move implementation is really good).

PS. By VR version I mean a version where you (in VR) stand in front of an arcade cabinet and you play the game like the good old classics. Oh, well, a man can dream, right?

Day one purchase if/when a VR update/port comes out.

Only From game I actually pursued (and unlocked) the Platinum trophy. Spent around 115 hours taking my time in this absolutely lovely experience.

How feasible would it be to include a "VR arcade" mode, where you are not actually thrown into the game, but would instead stand in front of an arcade machine and play the game "classic style" instead? 🤔

I never felt that I was actually getting better after reaching the 3rd biome - Returnal simply broke my will, and I moved on. Still have the day-one disc, but will probably never come back. It was quite fun, though.

Doesn't ship to my country. Nothing left to do but drown my sorrows in Jet Cola...

I'm having a great time, taking my time, slowly advancing towards the Platinum. Haven't even booted Elden Ring yet (despite getting it day one) just so I can keep focused (pun intended) on this wonderful game!

It's been so long I played the campaign, and I had such a good time, that I think I'm OK buying it a second time (as long as it's not $60 or $70).

Pff, free news? Sure, I'll take it.

Kena physical wasn't released in Brazil, so I assume this won't be either. Shame, I'd really like to add them to my small collection.

@PenguinL Going to revisit as well. The orlog challenge kind of put me off pursuing the Platinum, but it's been almost a year, I think I'll give it another go!

I wish every game featured this: choice. Will definitely give every option a go when it finally comes out. Looking forward to it!

Trophies are fun, and sometimes push me to play a game longer than I normally would. Having said that, I'm a pretty mediocre player, I'm 41, married, with children and a stressful occupation that has no weekend/days off/holidays, so... if a Platinum difficulty on a guide is 4 or higher, I don't even bother. Enjoy the story at normal difficulty and move on to the next game!

Will this be implemented in the remastered original as well? (Currently replaying the DLC campaigns)

@nofriendo I also see no visual differences between 30fps and 60fps. Odd. Reflections are still screen space only, no ray tracing upgrade, unfortunately. Trophies are automatically unlocked as well, so if you got the Platinum on PS4, you’ll get the Platinum on PS5. It unlocked for me when I reached the first meditation spot in Bogano.

@get2sammyb Sounds brilliant, thanks for letting me know!

Have they explained how Hitman 1+2 content will be accessible? I own H2 digitally, but haven't played it yet, so will likely wait in order to play the improved/updated version.
