@old_gamer74 Realisitcally it would not have won had it been nominated, the competition is too stiff. What matters are the memories and I wholeheartedly agree with you on that point. I had a blast playing through it twice with my buddy and we even platinum'd it. Hazelight already received the honors for "It Takes Two" and Sandfall deserve this year's award.

@UltimateOtaku91 Yeah, I concur, as it's excellent.

@PixiebellGames same here, the demo sold me on the full version. Never played the orgiginal, so I can't comment on the changed dialogue. I hope it's not changing original content too much.

@UniBoss75 not at all, my bad, sorry for the confusing wording

Hyped for all titles except the mobile spin-offs and SFVI as I'm not playing it actively. Capcom have been on a hot streak recently and it looks 2026 won't be much different. Pragmata's been on my radar since its initial announcement.

Looking forward to Time Stranger and CV2!

Time Stranger is shaping up to be the best Digimon game to date and Code Vein is criminally underrated.

@TechaNinja Comments are usually locked by the authors if they deem their respective articles to start a "political debate".

There would be no better title to showcase FSR4 running on PS5 Pro than GTAVI.

@GamingFan4Lyf I'm glad to see you have a job again!

It's just sad to see the richest company in the world cutting costs by laying off the people who contributed to its success.

@PuppetMaster I always prefer seeing custom engines to UE5. Decima is bonkers!

There have only been a few technically impressive UE5 titles running at a flawless 60 fps refresh this generation on consoles. The only one that genuinely impressed me was Split Fiction. Hellblade 2 may look impressive but it's locked at 30 fps and features huge black bars to deliver a "cinematic presentation".

@DennisReynolds We're finally starting to see Mark Cerny's PS5 Pro promise fulfilled. KCD2 was also a pro-enhanced game to offer quality mode visuals at 60 fps and Stellar Blade essentially improved the base PS5's image quality while running at locked 60 or 80 (120 Hz display) fps.

@Unsilenceable it's actually worse on PC, a RTX 4070/Ryzen 7 7800X3D combo is recommended, which is hardly mainstream hardware. Steam reviewers are calling it an unoptimized mess. It looks like the release was rushed and the game could've benefitted immensely from additional dev time.

@Danloaded Could you please share your thoughts on "Deliver at all Costs"? I've been eyeing it for some time now as it looks bonkers but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

@liamcroft The blog article has been updated with the prices for the physical CE:

"Finally, we are thrilled to reveal the Ghost of Yōtei Collector’s Edition2, which will be available for pre-order at direct.playstation.com in parts of the world where it is available, or at select retailers in other regions. Collector’s Edition will be $249.99 | €249.99 | 31,980 JPY MSRP."

@tameshiyaku ngl, that very first sequence in the demo where you got to boost on the hoverboard paired with the music kicking in was awesome! So glad it's coming to PS5 as well and there's a pre-order discount for PS+ members.

@MysticWangForce yw, mate. If you buy the PS4 version the PS5 upgrade should be free, so you're good.

@MysticWangForce It's a separate native PS5 version offered as a free upgrade if you own the PS4 version already. You can download it from the combined PS4/5 tile, simply select the PS5 version.

@Shad361 Last confirmed numbers state it sold over 1 mil.

If anybody's interested: "Zakazane" means "forbidden".

@Ainu20 I agree with you, mate. I do not think Sony would put it on GP for similar reasons you mentioned about Larian. My original comment was referring to Sammy's tidbit about why HD2 would have to be on GP. I misunderstood your question, sorry.

@Ainu20 MS is conditioning its player base to sub to GP instead of buying games. GP deals are the only way for 3rd party publishers to guarantee revenue on Xbox nowadays.

That's a sweet parting gift.

Folders for pictures are awesome, finally!

yea, that means more Vita support by Ubi =)

I'm so glad the Japanese version includes awesome swag and not some random crap like that useless lamp. It's way cheaper to boot.

Read it shortly after release. I agree with your thoughts on the book and highly recommend it to Uncharted fans. It's an enjoyable read.

Buying the Japanese retail version. It includes text language in English as well.

Hi Sanquine, welcome to the site.

Criterion are very talented and tech-savvy. They managed to keep latency around 80ms on the 30 fps game NFS Hot Pursuit, that's quite a feat (latency almost as low as a 60fps game). As long as EA do not force them to use Frostbite 2 (Blackbox used it in NFS The Run, was technologically 'modest' on consoles) and instead allow them to use their own incredible engine everything's gonna turn out fine. I'm glad to hear that for a change a Vita version of a PS3 game (port) is not being developed by a B-, or C-tier developer but by the genuine studio itself.

Criterion own (open world) arcade racing games, stoked for the Vita version of Most wanted.

It's cool to hate on COD because it's popular but this trailer looks promising, it even looks fun.

Ain't happening folks, no matter how sad it makes me. EA force Digital Illusions to churn out a Battlefield game each two years and to work on DLC in-between. No time for ME, unfortunately.

@turtlelink Yea. all other games are region-free.
Some of the older games might run in b&w though, if played on a foreign system (PAL and NTSC related). Those are far and in-between and lame titles anyway. So essentially that's the fiirst game to be region-locked.
Gematsu published Atlus' full statement and basically they're saying (Atlus) that some Japanese gamers might've waited two weeks (as this is the first international Atlus game to include JAP voice acting) for the US release as it's 30 bucks cheaper, thus cannibalizing JP sales. Japanese sales will probably be low anyways, as most Japanese fans have probably played the Arcade version to death.
Reasonable decision if all aspects are taken under consideration.

As Capcom made the included RE6 Demo 60-days exclusive to 360 (meaning the demo hits PSN merely a month before the game releases) and all DLC for DD timed exclusives to 360 they can honestly shove it. I was genuinely interested in the game but I won't support a game that treats me like a second class citizen with its additional content. A shame as the game looks ace. Still, Capcom's preferential treatment of MS means it's the bargain bin instead of the intended d1p for me.

loved nmh and shadows, suda is one crazy dev. looking forward to this and lollipop chainsaw.

Best game on Vita. Platinum'd it and can't wait for the NA-release. gonna buy all the DLC to support SCEJ for this gem.

@get2sammyb I'm certain Sony wanted to include TGC into their first party, but ultimately TGC can decline the offer. Guess they prefer staying indie. I can't picture their unique games selling on XBLA though, too few guns and too little shooting.

Rayman Origins simply blew me away. Golden Abyss was a known quantity (sampled at GamesCom), but how stunningly gorgeous Ancels art looks on Vita's OLED was truly a game-changing experience.

as long as they're not forced to compromise sony's version due to reliance on ue3 and 360's disc size I'm cool with their decision

Uncharted's kinda steep. Was hoping for more of a discount. Wonder how many gamer will actually purchase it off PSN. At 3.2GB and 50 bucks it's hardly a bargain -_-

Can't wait for the official price of Army Corps of Hell as I intend to buy it digitally.

Why too late. Besides, SEN sounds lame. I prefer PSN.

A shame Ellie is an NPC only. I'm confident in the game though, defo d1p for me.

Germany, good old Germany. It's such a nice country, but our government still treats games as sources and inspiration for psychopathic killers. Our nice youth protection laws protect us adult gamers from those nasty violent killer-games, yet still rating them as USK 18 (ESRB AO/BBFC 18/ PEGI 18/ CERO Z equivalent) while censoring content on top of it.
The way Jaffe worded it, it seems they didn't want to produce a special Germany-only version.
Couldn't care less, I've long since stopped supporting German distributors and import all my games from the UK or the States. Those ugly USK-logos were another brilliant idea by our government, to make them easily recognizable they said ...

Enjoyed the demo thoroughly. Game might be challenging for a change - today's game are way too easy. As it's developed by Starbreeze I'm expecting a quality shooter. those guys never let me down before (ok, maybe on Dark Athena, but Escape from Butcher Bay was the better game anyways).

Lovely. Long-time reader here but didn't expect that overhaul. The look is great and the overall re-structre looks fresh. You're doing an awesome job guys, thanks =)

Thanks for the introduction guys, always wondered how big the team actually is. You're doing a stellar job!
As expected the ever elusive Twiggy is missing ^^.

Nice review Sammy, thanks Mate. No your awesome reviews can also be featured on metacritic as you're using a conventional 10 point scale. Thanks guys, I like the changes a lot. Long time reader of PS, will be lingering here in 80 years still, I guess.

That's the reason I'm buying Vita d1. Already pre-ordered the Japanese version, so I can start playing immediately.
