You gotta remember that Unc starts each day looking at himself in the mirror so not much is going to be better looking than that throughout his day.

I mean, I do the same thing too, so I guess I'm just not as handsome. Damn, this day gets worse.

There's also this one they uploaded recently, which goes over the different performance modes.

I must say, apart from the stunning presentation, I felt the opening section was a little flat/dull. 

But it soon finds its feet, and I'm really enjoying it now. A lot of love has gone into this, the small details and animations are utterly brilliant. 

The rifts are a gimmick really - but its impressive tech nevertheless. 

I'll reserve full judgement until i've finished but so far so good.

My cousin bought it so I could install it, but I can't be arsed after his thoughts. Plus I didn't think much of the PS4 one anyway. He's gutted about spending 140 quid on Returnal and Ratchet and falling off both within a few hours of play.

It's a [7] maybe pushing to an [8] for me I reckon. Is guess I'm about halfway through. So not bad by any means, but not the second coming either - and enjoyment of shinies (and the characters) likely swingers in overall perception.

Most of this chat appeals to me but it definitely sounds like the RRP is a piss-take pricepoint. In my ideal world these short/straightforward AAA experiences exist, but they'd be priced accordingly.

Think I'm nearly at the end, it's been fun and it looks amazing. I think the gun play is what you choose to make of it by experimenting with the different guns and then comboing up. I quick like Topiary, plus Mushroom, plus Glove of Doom on bosses for example. Agree on the price to value proposition being a bit off, but I think to 100% it will take a fair bit of time and I'm happy to go back in after the credits and grab all the stuff.

There was this isolated section on one of the earlier levels, where I managed to jump to (using hover boots, glitch jump, double jump combo)... but it was clearly an area I shouldn't of been able to reach (static npc's with their arms out stretched), I then couldn't get back without it dumping me back in the same spot. I had to quit out the game and go back in again. 

Theres been a few instances where the game has just stopped, like the next wave of enemies or objective hasn't triggered.  No game crashes or anything mind.

Think I’m nearly finished now and, although it’s built into a much better game than those first couple of levels suggested, it’s not been too wonderful. It looks good (though not great), has great heart and I really appreciate its pacing and compact size. Many of the weapons provide great combos together and I’ve had some fun there but it doesn’t feel like a full blown release. The price point is a definite issue for Sony now. Their absolute premium stuff like LoU, Uncharted, GOW, Spidey can get away with it but this is too sleight and too underdeveloped to make the big bucks pricing feel at least a little less sore. So, though I’ve enjoyed it, I kinda feel a little bit ripped off too and that’s not a good final feel for a consumer.

Some of the level design is just bizarre too. Small areas with massive skyboxes and promises of more simply locked away behind invisible walls.

Great pics

I have genuinely been looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this Andy.

I'm having such a good time with thus, even though it is just throwing PS2 gameplay at me. The virus shmups bits are my highlight, and being in the first massive open world bit is amazing.

Interesting use of 120hz mode here…

Thread bump but I'm loving this.  Bring on the invisible walls and PS2 gameplay.
