Nope. Haven't put a disc in a machine for years. Jeez, we'll have "would you buy a USB lead for your wireless controller" next.

Welcome to the 21st century.

tbh as someone who has never touched the game that looked blooming great.

Dead Space. Been playing it again on PC over Christmas and its even better than I remembered from my first play thru 13 years ago.

Stunning game, can't believe EA managed to faff up the franchise with microtransactions. Lets hope they don't do it again with the remake.

@nedbvai , yup that 2015 classic aint bad. A little dated compared to the 7 years newer GT7 wouldn't you say?

Great game but the RT implementation is ridiculous - so 3/10 for that version; you simply shouldn't see games in that state being released. If you received any other goods in that state you'd take them back, get a refund and if it was a widespread problem there would be a recall in operation.

Imagine getting a microwave that stutters, stops, just fails at times, cooks at half the intended speed intermittently - there would rightly be some complaints. We shouldn't put up with shoddy work just because its digital.

At 60 FPS its a good improvement on the base game though.

are they the pre sale prices?

tbh not played it. (a) there's no smoke without fire and the smoke says its average at best and (b) there's so many great games out there, why waste your time with average?

Will give it a whirl when on PS+ in 6 months time.

@ShogunRok If I have a PS version and a PC version does the PS version now surpass PC or is it simply PC on highest settings? i.e. does PC get the gameplay patch also?

Its funny. You put 100+ hours in to this fantastic game to finally craft a character that can get to the final handful of bosses (which of course you have to summon help for)....... to then find some 12 year old from Plymouth can woop you dead in 3 seconds the minute you go online.

Isnt this the guy that last time said "you'll see 10+ announcements as big as any AAA" and then went on to announce fek all.

Guys a legend in his own underpants, and only to himself.

@Art_Vandelay Wasnt the last cycle 8 years. Despite promises from both MS and Sony they both went with extraordinarily long cycles.

@itsfoz you do realise this is a free patch and not a re-release or a remaster?

No mention of accessibility features for us 10% lefties to be able to choose how we play the game

@Benjamonk Agreed.
Its such a shame that a team that should be remembered for the greatness of PC1 and PC2 will be tarnished with Project Cars 3 on their epitaph.
Would be interesting to see a post mortem and how EA (I assume it was them) turned a great SIM in a largely empty market on console and killed it dead. Of course there's no PC4 as EA killed off the franchise with PC3, long before they made their announcement yesterday. I hope some exec loses some sleep in EA but I doubt it.

tbh PS I find that an irresponsible headline.

I appreciate you are here to entertain your audience and thus drive engagement and growth - but you should also lean a little in to developing the medium that enables that.

30 FPS is a clear backwards step that your own poll clearly indicated (no surprise) was contrary to the expectations of the vast majority of the medium's consumers.

It is a big deal and such a great game deserves recognition despite this severe limitation.

@stvevan yeh but with the competition you kinda need a £1200 PC so not really.

Yes the Q2 is £130 cheaper at £399, but when you lump in a £1200 PC to give you comparable power/performance that becomes £1599 total which is a lot more then the Playstation £1010 total.

Its a lot of money, but its still the cheapest way in to mid-tier VR.

@CapGod I hate to be pedantic, but there is only one 8

Have you tried Control at 30fps? Ridiculous in 2022 that there are 30fps games.

Hmm. I dont think this is being targeted at my demographic.
That's what I do respect about this hobby; so diverse.

Love it. One of the true greats of last gen.
Even EA can't mess this up.
Surely there can't be 'press X to upgrade' around every corner, or 'press 0 to skip chapter' or perhaps 'press X to respawn'.
With each press being tied to a lovely micro transaction.

Please EA don't FU a great game.

Can't wait.
Even if they were to port the best 20 games from PSVR it would imho be a classic move. The lighter headset, the less faff to set up, the tighter visuals and of course most importantly the controllers makes this PSVR 2++++ and that's worth £400 of my money .
Quest 2 is a great device but its held back by its limited power in standalone mode (this won't have that) and by the faff of configuring everything bar the kitchen sink when linking to a PC (this wont have that).
In my view PSVR2 is sure winner now that the setup, fidelity and of course controllers are sorted.

Please please, do the ports. So many great possibilities in the PSVR catalogue.

i do wish the government would step in and insist that unless the full monty is available these be called free to start.

its a scam and PS should know better.

and applying same title to likes of astro is an insult. it should not be in this list.

I can't believe the Push put out a 'Reaction' video.
Do I look 14? fgs I give less a hoot about a stranger's reaction to anything than I do about my next trip to the loo

I'll watch the non-reaction version thank you.

Would be good if they added a single player element other than the licences and the 'cafe nonsense.
Makes you wonder what they were doing for 6 years after GT sport was released if this is essentially the same with nothing more than an extended tutorial tagged on.

@Stocksy I agree with you mate.
So what, some folks have seen a work-in-progress. Big conk, no other industry worries about such.
Think of buildings, prototypes, other IT projects, the HS2 project or the Thamelink project, other art even - who gives a hoot that a work in progress has been seen. Even the greatest football teams are happy for Youtube to show their training sessions.
No one cares, its just life, do you think people believe you lay a perfect product overnight - no, they appreciate it matures over time to completion.

Move on.

@Quintumply does that mean that selecting 1440P res in the PS5 allows games that target 4K60FPS to be more likely to achieve the 60FPS?
i.e. its a good way to get the promised land of 60 (or even 120) FPS, by outputting 14040p, without having to drop all the way to 1080p?

Or is it that games would have to be coded for such, as they may still be trying to render 4K (and thus have their FPS challenged) and then the PS5 just downscales it to 1440p for presentation?

Just to be clear I can play the free remaster on PS5 for ,well, free, or the second remaster on PS5 for £70.

Tough question. Struggling with that one

Great game, love it. Played on PS3, already played the remaster (for free). Quite probably won't pay £70 to play another attempt at a remaster for £70. FGS what were they thinking.

Its always struck me as strange that for a beast with 10 fingers we have made controllers with circa 13 buttons on the front for 2 of those fingers (sometimes called thumbs) and yet only 4 buttons (L1/L2/R1/R2) that can be used with 8 of those fingers.

fgs put more buttons where the 8 happy to do some work fingers are - great - rear buttons at last. [I know PS trialed this with the back plate a couple years ago]

@Palleon Agreed.
Its marketing genius that publishers coined the phrase "Free to Play". And its media ineptitude that allowed them to get away with it.
I should think it only a matter of time before we have class action law suits and regulation to prevent such.

OK slightly tongue in cheek, but FTP is, imho, the most grotesque corner of our beloved hobby for all but a very select few examples of how to do it right (Fortnite, RL, Apex).

OK late to the party of moaners on this one; but doesn't stop me trying.......

• this is PS5 only right?
• this is the remaster of the remaster that is 'free' on the PS5 right?
• this is not a remake is it? Not in the sense RE2 was or Demon's Souls? Its just a skin-job right?
• this is a full price game right?

fgs - how dumb do they think peeps are?

@Milktastrophe I wonder if GT7 would have been quite so popular if it wasn't a driving game, and you played in a hot-air balloon? Just wondering like.

@Olmaz You should try Control 30fps vs 60fps. Its night and day.

Great game. I feel PS gave away a bit too much in their second paragraph but apart from that good piece and highly recommend.

Never heard of them.

Wouldn’t it be nice to think someone from Sony actually reads these comment’s and work’s out they need to find ways to educate their users.

Makes me wonder what other killer features exist I’ve not heard of. Sounds like a feature for you there PS.

PS I don’t think it’s a coincidence Meta have to raise the price as they take away the mandatory link to a Facebook account.
With less data selling revenue available to offset the loss making £299 figure they have to.
Probably worth pointing that out.

Sony also won’t have that Facebook data selling angle either so expect a similar£399 price which is prob around cost price.

Very similar specs on screen and controllers.

Thank you. I had no idea this applied to existing subscribers.

I think, as many in these comments have said, the animator misses the point. The consensus is not suggesting its a cash grab, but that it is unnecessary and that the opportunity cost is immense; i.e. what greatness those involved could have been doing elsewhere.
Just as I don't need a new phone every 3 months, the current one is fine, I don't need a slightly better version of a game I have already played every 12 months.

Do wish they'd have an option to turn all the baggage off.
Anything other than being sat in an F1 car I would bet 95% of the buyers just aren't interested in.

Typically with EA I think said baggage will get worse every year. We will have XP next, with each glorious XP moment being recognised with an on screen rainbow as an XP balloon rises in to the sky.

Why would I? It was 'free' with the PS5.
Some Ps3 era games would really benefit rom a remake, e.g. Demon Souls sure did, Dark Souls would, but some were pretty enough.
I would personally rather teams concentrate on PS2 era games, where the concept may have been spot on (RE2, RE4) but the technology at the time just couldn't do it justice.

Coming from the guy who a few months ago hyped an event as having, "five announcements the scale of GOW" and then proceeded to announce bugger all, my expectations really are low.

@BoldAndBrash yes it did, and it also had a story, and characters and an immense journey for those characters.
I love me some zombie blasting RE fun, but it aint no Shining and it doesnt have to be.

I love positivity but 3 almost black screenshots doesn't really paint the picture.
Given we've all been able to play PS1 and PS2 games for years on our Vitas, and perhaps not done so, I suspect it will be a one week wonder.
Each to their own, but for me though I tend to play a game and then move on; there's nothing from the last 30 years of gaming I am thinking if only I could have another 5 hours with that, but there's plenty from the last 2 years of gaming I am still to get to.

@Max_the_German Agreed.
I can understand someone wanting to squeeze every last drop of value or recognition out of a game, e.g. getting the platinum for Bloodborne or Elden Ring, demonstrating skill and perseverance and also helping them to savor the longevity of the game. However they are only relevant when tied to a specific game - not in general. Would I 'buy' the platinum for Elden Ring, of course not, not even for 1p, would I care if it didn't exist, of course not. Will I get it, of course.

@playthedangame Agreed. May as well close the polls for the year already.

Agree with the majority; its much more interesting to me to see a 100% glitchless speed run. That's someone playing it like I do but with 100x more speed, precision and skill.

Seeing someone exploit some bugs in programme code doesn't really hit the mark for me; no matter how adept they have to be to trigger those exploits.

@Mongooose Same question. I have 2 years left on PS+. Are there 'upgrade' prices available?

I think this article needs updating.
Many/all of those games can do 120FPS but not at 4K. Thus you do not need a 4K120Hz TV in that case, thus you do not need HDMI 2.1 etc etc.

In fact do any of them run at 120FPS@4K?

@nessisonett Agreed.
Its rare that someone would use the words "a few" synonymously with the word "two".

Perhaps a politician would?

@GamingFan4Lyf Agreed. Great movie for what it is. Good old fashioned fun.

Great movie. Took the kids to the pix to watch for the second time over the weekend; and it remains a great romp; fun, fast and frivolous. Raiders of the Lost Ark for 2020+

Great film; I'd urge any doubters on the fence following the high brow reviews to just give it a shot; I am pretty sure you'll come away smiling.
[and to put in context it makes the like of Fast 9 continue to look like the steaming trash it was. UC is good, not just mindless].
