Fingers crossed the reviews and sales carry on the positive coverage and encourage Sony to bring Housemarque into the 1st party stable. I'd love to see them be able to carry on developing these kind of arcade-style games with Sony's financial and technical support behind them.

Maybe I missed this in written previews, but I guess you could 'challenge' the enemy/boss that got you killed, again.

At 12:45.

I would buy this but I'm out of SSD space, and I don't want to buy a USB SSD just right now.

The look, the design, the dualsense features, the touted 3d-audio, the metroid vibes, the souls vibes, the music, I'm sorely tempted...

I've kind of lost faith in previews after Cyberpunk previews just hyped the game more.

Let's see what reviews say and go from there.

Oh I'd bite at that point! But it doesn't display returnal on amazon Italy... (Netherlands here)
Does OTTO.nl give you those discount codes for creating an account there? I´ve preordered the game for only 50€ on OTTO Germany after using several discount codes partially from just creating an account there.

I've been playing this and can't be too specific about it yet, but I'm kinda in love. Everything just feels so good. Movement, combat, the seamlessness of it all.

I've been allowed to capture and show whatever I want from the first 2 areas. That should tell you to put more faith in these previews than Cyberpunk.

Some of the previews suggest it's like Hades...surely Risk of Rain 2 would be a better comparison?

For what it's worth it might be better to do £25, £25, £20 on Eneba as I only used a 3% discount and it came to £53.27 total.

They said recently that you come across the bodies of other players in the game and you can either loot or avenge their deaths. So I think it's a case of just take what they have or try to avenge them for a potentially better reward.

Think of it along the lines of Dark Souls bloodstains, only by choosing to view them you then have to fight enemies.

If you're in the UK and looking to save money just do as I do; purchase from the US store. You'll save 20% just by virtue of the exchange rate.

I just picked this up for £48. Certainly a lot more reasonable than the £70 demanded by the UK storefront.

Thanks :) My final price in my basket is now £52.36 - that sound about right?
Scratch that - it's £55.54 with the service fee to pay.
Do £25, £25 and £20 and it'll be ~£53 if you want the extra saving.

Using a secondary US account on your PS5 right?

£12 cheaper and I'd consider it, £17 cheaper and I'd bite.

Nex gen pricing fucking sucks.
If you'll consider going digital then grab PSN gift cards from Eneba, works out cheaper than the Shopto deal.

The haptics will be cool - found it really useful in Demon's Souls to tell you when an enemy is about to throw fire at you for example. But I really hate that speaker, it sounds so tinny and gimmicky compared to my AV system that I need to have that shit turned off.

Sorry for my ignorance but how do you do that?

And does it lock you behind the purchase in anyway i.e console has to be tied to us store to use?

Yup.

Just open a US account and make purchases with US PSN cards from G2A or the like. You're free to play any of your purchased titles on any account as long as the US account is set to primary.

It's very easy to do.

Really excited for this, but I don't have time to watch.

I saw the alert of putting in rest mode to suspend run. How does the game save your progress? I thought it was more of an intertwined game world rather than a level by level one. I know that it says that your permanent progress is saved when you turn the game off, but you always return to the crash site upon restarting.
