I wonder if this sale will show up on the terrible PS5 store? No sale, no DLC, no demos, many missing PS4 games in new releases... The whole PS5 store and UI needs a serious overhaul to make it useful.
Looks nice and kinda like Hades, so will probably pick it up. Still hoping Hades will surprise us though, and pop up on PS4/PS5 soon. I would much rather play it on console for the Trophies rather than Steam and have no interest in my Switch.
@HUMPERDOO A Plague Tale is wonderful and a very underrated gem. I never had any issues with the controls at all. It's not by the same team as Vampyr (only same publisher) so you have nothing to worry about.
Would be nice if those of us with the PS5 Gold Edition could actually get our included rewards at some point. The code only gives the Season Pass but all the other items don't appear for anyone on PS5. Seems to affect a lot of players.
Hopefully the update also fixes the constant framerate problems in all visual modes. I've stopped playing it as it is all over the place even when in non-busy areas. Not game breaking, but very distracting and unimpressive.
I am amazed that Sony isn't more concerned about these companies they use for outsourcing their stores to. The PS3 and PS4 stores have always been unstable and untidy, crashing regularly. The PS5 store is barely fit for purpose and is missing entire DLC, Movies and Sales sections. The webstore is an awful mess and cannot be used for very much at all. And now the VIta store totally broken (temporarily most likely). It's really not good enough when these are often the only way to purchase games. I know some within Sony are not happy with the situation, so why does Sony keep allowing these companies to continue when it obviously is losing them revenue?
I'm a bit confused at this review saying that it runs buttery smooth at all times. I have been playing it almost a week now on and off and have never had a single race that has run smoothly. I've played well over 30 races in all disciplines I think and none run well. There are frame rate drops all of the time, especially at the start when all cars are bashing into one another. However, it's not just the amount of cars that can cause issues as the one on one races or even the solo hill climbs drop frames constantly. I've tried playing it in all Video modes, including the 120fps mode and get frame rate problems in all. Can this be my PS5 or somehow TV related or even the SDD as right now it runs extremely poorly? It's not a particularly good looking game anyway so I am unsure what is wrong. Oh, and it crashes a lot too!
You didn't need to log in as Online and then switch to Offline at all on PS4. If you press the Options button before selecting your profile, you can choose whether to show up as Offline or Online.
I really enjoyed this apart from that there is no invert Y-axis option (really, devs still forget to add this), has plenty of glitches such as being able to retake the same side quest but not complete it so it stays on your to do list, sometimes very lengthy conversations and a broken trophy for finishing the game. But it is often times amazing to look at and is nice and leisurely to play with no real threats.
I noticed they have messed up how it displays friends alphabetically now. If you have close friends (you can see their real name), they don't appear alphabetically in the Friends List where they should. Instead they appear where their username falls. For example a Close Friend called 'John Smith' with a username of 'Wanted' would appear in your list under 'W' but still show the name 'John Smith' first in the list. It's a small issue but a pain to have to look through 100+ friends trying to find what people have as a username when you know them by their real name.

Why does the cover of every football game have to have a guy looking as though he has just stepped on some Lego?
