If i can skip all the crap, cringey voice acting and story then i might be interested in this. Need to see some genuine gameplay first. 

 

 

Same for me. I am in for the racing, not the story and definitely not the characters. I tried NFS Heat and gave up after like an hour, the absolute cringe killed it for me.

Cause it's trash. I swear I'm the only sane one here 😐

Reminds me of Auto Modellista, that was one good looking game.

Did you expect anything else? Not being facetious here, just... tis an online game you know. Server issues at launch were a guaranteed given. It'll sort itself out in about a week (or two).

@VimsterThose two negatives you mentioned, those only get worse. There's moments where it's exposition dump after exposition dump, cutscene after cutscene where nothing of value is said. As for the side quests, those only get worse; go to A to talk to B, go to C to pick up D, return to A to meet B who tells you to meet B at C. At C talk to B who asks you to go to A to pick up E. Deliver E to B at C. Meet B at A to complete quest.

Combat is fantastic, dungeons are great. Everything exciting gameplay related is absolutely fantastic, tis a shame about the story.

The whole Horde thing is particularly underdeveloped. All of the massive ones were completed Benny Hill style mixed with abusing the "you ran too far and we have to turn back now" AI. I tried being smart about it and place traps etc but traps barely put a dent in it.

I’m fully on board, I adore the original and this looks like remade by a passionate team. That said, 70 quid is pure robbery and part of me wants to flip EA off.

But tis Dead Space, the first one and the best one 🥰

- Isaac now fully voiced (no one wanted this)

That's not entirely accurate. On the previous page it was mentioned Isaac only speaks when spoken to or when a situation clearly demands a response.

I utterly fucking adored the first Dead Space, but I secretly hope that this gets stomped by Callisto Protocol.

I'd say the same if this were a blatant lazy cash grab. Judging from the info and media released it's the exact opposite. I hope both find massive success.

What's this about 'collectibles'? Are they NFTs?

No, they're 3D models you can collect. Think of them like the trophies in Smash Bros or the capsule rewards in Astro's Playroom.

 

Currently you can only display them in the PlayStation app. Presumably they'll eventually be integrated into the console experience in some fashion; examining them in VR would seem an obvious choice.

PlayStation Home 2.0 right there.

Wasn't Evolve a similar flop?

I'll never understand any of this. Adults throwing virtual shit at each other to appease their viewers obsession with drama.

Old man here, I wonder what those individuals do when the reach the age of 40. Still trying to cause drama with another 40 year old?

Well here's your clout. Hope it was worth it.

I’m so not gonna buy this.

I think any version not bought direct from Frogwares is essentially the stolen version, isn't it, or did they resolve that?

I’m very certainly (trying to look for evidence) everything available now is Frogwares’ and not Big Ben’s. The whole legal thing is why the game was unavailable for a long while.

edit: tis complicated. As far as I can tell, the original releases were published by Big Ben/Nacon and they did some shady stuff. Legal battle ensued, game was unavailable (on PSN anyway) for a while, now it's back and I think/hope it's 100% in the hands of Frogwares now.

Just finished The Sinking City again, this time on PS5. It is a good as I remember from the PS4, in other words a big chunky 7 out of 10. Clunky controls, awkward combat, repeating dialogue from NPCs, lacking sound scape, carbon copy house interiors, repeating gameplay. All that is forgiven due to the excellent presentation and writing, some superb voice acting, neat twists and turns and overall focus. Frogwares knew what they wanted to make and it shows. If you like reading, sitting in a boat and spending a lot time on the map marking interesting location based on street names gathered from one of the four archives this is the game for you.

7/10. Love it.

Don't pay full price for it though, it's a proper mid budget title. I'd day take the plunge (hah) for around 15 quid.

Why did people assume they weren't taking kickbacks?

Ethics in etc.

How did this guy get this kind of access anyway? He appears to be a bit of a nobody. You just need a small YouTube account for that these days?

Not sure what type of briefing it was, but I assume it was nothing more but a document with projects to be announced. I doubt Ubi flew Dan to some sort of super secret briefing.

Tis possible it’s supported by the inevitable Version 2 of PSVR2.

Deliver Us the Moon (everything but Switch I think)

What a neat little narrative driven mystery in space. Short (4 - 5 hours I reckon), focused, nothing outstays its welcome. Very much looking forward to Deliver us Mars now.

edit: credits mention it was a Kickstarter project.

I'll never join your Tenchu party 😒

Namco is Japanese, this surely means Ridge Racers 4K confirmed.

Show us your cock bro, nobody cares about hairstyle and tattoos.

I'm about to finally start playing this. Reading all the impressions I think I will enjoy it a lot despite the flaws, they don't seem like huge issues to me. Looking forward to arriving in Night City. Any tips for a beginner? 

Enjoy it, it's a fun experience. Great voice-acting, some excellent side quests.
