    Given how incredible God of War's PS5 upgrade is, even better than the already excellent upgrades for No Man's Sky and Destiny 2, are we going to see other games get this deluxe graphics upgrade trestment?

    I know Witcher 3 is getting one. Yakuza 7's hits 2 March but can't recall any others.

    New popular image going around regarding Square Enix's decision to release the FFVIIR upgrade with the Yuffie DLC.

    I’m glad I didn’t buy FFVIIR. I wasn’t sure I wanted to buy it as I’ve never played a Final Fantasy game before. But for free? Hell yeah!

    Also looks like Kena will be a smaller game than expected as on PSN it's price is £33-40.

    Eh, they have said in every interview about it that they intend it to be a game you can play in a weekend. So I don't think it being short is unexpected. The lower price is great though.

    I think basically they intend it to be like a long, playable animated film. My guess is, with more limited resources and the great work that goes into such an animation style, they wisely decided at the outset not to make it too long. Which is fine! Mixing in some shorter games is good.

    Oh yeah for sure. It straight up looks like a Pixar movie. It's definitely one I've been wanting to play since they showed it off. I believe it comes out just after my birthday so I will probably ask for it as a present.

    I didn't realise Kena would be so cheap.

    This pleases me greatly

    Seriously why is it impossible still to get a ****ing PS5 that isn’t a bundle for like 800-1,000 dollars.

    A more or less complete sell-through of existing stock brushing up against a broader global shortage of semiconductors?

    Sure, but if anything it’s kind of surprising console sales have been so “normal” for the early part of the launch, considering. It’s really going to suck this time next year when it should have improved but hasn’t. :p

    'K, have nabbed Witness, Subnautica and Astro Bot.

    Now all I have to do is stop playing Yakuza: Like A Dragon.... which is not that easy to do.

    I downloaded The Witness, Subnautica and Abzu to try. I’m about 5 hours into The Witness, and my brain feels like it’s going to explode. I LOVE the difficulty level. It’s certainly not easy, but it’s just hard enough to make you really use your brain and feel really satisfied when you solve everything. The open world is gorgeous too.

    Wonder how many PS5’s USA bound are stuck behind the stuck ship... I know there’s much more important things not getting through on time.

    Can’t help but wonder though.

    Doesn’t a lot of east Asia to US shipping go through the Pacific?

    Edit: Like I said a little earlier, what’s potentially going to make this current buying period rough, much more than this temporary Suez Canal blockage, is the semiconductor shortage. We have not actually hit the point where that’s going to matter because it didn’t affect the initial stock.

    Yeah more likely it's PS5s bound for Europe than the US.

    For anyone lucky enough to acquire a PS5, save yourself some cash and don't bother with the Media Remote.

    Mine frequently loses connection, fails to re-pair with the PS5, then decides to work, then cuts out and is.... Well, it's an unreliable piece of **** and a waste of money.

    Kind of amazing given how the PS3 remote still works fine over a decade later without any faffing around.
