@ShogunRok Looking for clarity. Your article states that you cannot store PS5 on HDD? I understand that you can't run a game from HDD but can't we utilize an external to hold the game and then transfer to SSD when ready to play? My internet is metered in USA. If I'm hearing you correctly, I hope Sony changes this. I have a 8 TB home cloud I was hoping to "park" purchased games and avoid redownloading from the internet. Thanks!

@JohnKarnes you are smart!

I felt the same way about Blue Point's brilliant Shadow of the Colossus. The performance mode and added frames made the presentation more stunning, imo. I wish developers would focus more on 60 FPS than 4K.

I say, "Thank you, Beenox." You exceeded my expectations in multiple ways. I feel like I have received much more than the face value I spent. Congrats and I hope your competition takes note.

@nessisonett I don't disagree. The laws comment has me confused because we don't have laws that end your business goals. Disney did, however, save Marvel and the Star Wars IP's. They paid more money than I can fathom for the ability to produce product for the screen (movie or games). I believe that social media and easy access news, via device, has destroyed the comic book market. Its my opinion that they saw this and bought up IPs before they crashed. Is anyone disputing as old as I? 🤣

😪😴😴😪💤💤💤... does this include actually gameplay? I believe my western fans at my age (40), don't have much interest. My fellow above average age game fanatics don't follow anime but we do love a good Japanese fighter, RPG or platformer. In fact I don't know anyone over here in USA who even cares about comic books. Seems like a steep investment for only half of the world. IMO

I would think a Sega Racing collection @ 4k, 16x9, 60 hx would sell like crazy. Dayton 2 has never made a console appearance plus add in multiple Outruns, Virtua Racing, Hang-On, Sega Rallys, Power Drift, and even Crazy Taxi. It would be the ultimate arcade racing collection. I'd pay $60 upfront for something like that, IMO.

@Smiffy01 love the idea and love your profile pic! I became a Radiohead fan during college while playing virtua tennis and taking shots of vodka for every broken serve. Did you go to Ball State University by chance?

I was more excited by this announcement than any other!

@Mergatro1d Thank you! That is the title I was thinking of. I think I will be picking up both of these games. I appreciate your knowledge.

Looks like my type of game. Although, I might be confusing it with another. You guys posted a video a few weeks back of a lady narrating through a level. This game used perspective but I think it had multiple size's of the level connected.? It reminded me of Fisherman's Tale. You would move something small and it would move the big version. Any idea what game I'm thinking of?

So... Exclusive to the non VR game only?

@Quintumply This leads to my question that likely won't be answered until it's release. Will you be able to utilize PSVR to create a 2D game? I'm thinking much like Augmented Reality, I think the tools would work better in a 3D space. This is exciting to me!

IMO this game looks like more fun than Cyberpunk. I'm genuinely impressed by the amount of variation, large scale bosses and what looks to be a large amount of customization. Color me impressed!

Only an hour in and I'm at a loss for words but I'll try...holyCashmoleyness! The emotions, the details in the environments, the guitar background, those character models. I feel like I'm getting a preview into PS5.

@Danloaded AI getting in the way sux! I just restarted Bioshock Infinite since the new patch and I'm excited to finish it... one of my favorite of all time IMO. I was amazed at the cinematic quality of LOU but felt like the stealth component was slow and dry. Comparing it to a MGS5, I did not enjoy it as much. I am hoping that this new game will combine the two.

@Danloaded Did you feel like the gameplay wasn't very loose? The gameplay of LOURm didn't excite me but everything else did. Granted, I'm coming off of 20 hours of Doom Eternal and I've had difficulty finishing The Lost Legacy. I like narrative driven games but find boredom if the gameplay isn't exciting. Sounds like LOU2 may have found ways to keep the incredible narrative and add action gameplay. Waiting and hoping!

I was probably going to purchase this title being a long time Sega fan but hearing that retro music will be available has officially sealed the deal.

The only PS I've skipped was PS3 for 360 and this was the one game I've been missing. I can't wait to jump back in tomorrow with 60fps 4k!!

@el_matodon Same thing happened to me! Did you figure it out?

Hmm..I would say that From Software has some of the best sound design in the business. Soundtrack plus creatures and environmental noise all meld into one. I'll never forget the 8 seconds of "gong" like sound after stunning an enemy in Bloodborne followed by the ghostly cries of a Viceral attack! To me you have to be able to sing a soundtrack in your head outside of the game. This has never happened to me regarding a From Software title. I'm also slightly concerned by the overall youth of the titles so far. My number one soundtrack came out in 2014 and my number 2, 2011. I will not share my 2 favorites until all have been revealed as there is still hope that these 2 gems have not been forgotten. It certainly makes for great debate regardless of the winners.

@Lovespuds Is this even possible? Hoping so, for sure!

I haven't heard a better soundtrack since ...

@SegaBlueSky anybody with name and avatar has got be a cool person. Master system, Genesis, DREAMCAST and of course ARCADE. I love SEGA!!

@ShogunRok I'm someone who beat the original DMC (long long ago) and then played "DMC", Ninja Theory, to death on PS4 because of its high frame rate action. The truth is I loathe for a Bayonetta replacement in my heart. I have only played Bayonetta on 360 and still wish I could find an action game with fluid/deep combat that's interesting enough to keep digging into. I lapsed the PlayStation life I led with ps3/360 but I'm back! I need a new Bayonetta! Do you believe this game will fill my void? Thanks!

VR patch! VR patch! VR patch!

@GravyThief, you will not be able to forget. A HDR enabled TV, in my opinion, makes non HDR games look better too with correct adjustments. The fact that the screen can display at a brighter level allows you the ability to crank color and contrast. Samsung 55 NU8000 if you live on a budget like I.

@starhops I couldn't agree more...definitely check a tv you are thinking about purchasing on this site. You want low latency input and high as heck bright levels. They do a fantastic job of rating game quality with and without HDR enabled.

@get2sammyb I recommend as a relatively inexpensive set a 55" Samsung NU8000. Wonderful bright display with insanely low input latency. I did plug my Pro into a friend's LG OLED which was an experience hard to explain. I can't wait for this tech to become more cost competitive.

@gingerfrog It's a game changer in my opinion. You will not mind replaying this game, easy Platinum takes atleast 2 play throughs to my knowledge.

@Glassneedles When you walk through the orange forest you almost need sunglasses! I think this game demonstrates the range of contrast best!.. great game anyway you play it.

Has a staff member played this game yet? I'm looking for something to scratch the NBA Jam itch.

I never hear The Witness mentioned on these lists but it has the greatest HDR adaption, in my opinion. Walking out of an under ground tunnel into the sun comes close to hurting your eyes. I have to squint to get through the orange forest and past the pink trees. Switching to 60 fps still has a higher resolution than HD and is definitely the way to go.

Definately looks cleaner in 4k.. check out the humans in the boxes! The HDR effect isn't as stark as I had wished but when you hit a "phase complete" or die the screen definately lights up in glorious fashion. This game will never grow old to me.

I am surprised the editors of this article only mentioned Dark Souls in their comparative points. I downloaded this demo the second I saw Koei Tecmo was the developer. I love and crave the Souls series but I was stoked at the idea of a current gen Ninja Gaiden! Both Souls and Gaiden require determination and practice to master their own respectable art form. I only had 20 min last night to try it out and left feeling disappointed. If Tecmo would focus on retaining the fast/brutal/challenging/...PERFECT combat of Ninja Gaiden 1 or 2, and then focus on adding RPG or even Dark Souls leveling...I WOULD BE IN HEAVEN!!! So far the controls feel too loose and I had trouble focusing on the enemy I intended to...not Gaiden'esk at all! Bring back the right trigger straightens the camera behind the character for fast camera control, add a bigger more open level design, plus add a bunch of RPG elements and I think this game could be Souls killer.
