Well, now I’d REALLY like to see a picture of the aforementioned tree.

It’s just so amazing we’re finally talking about this! Is there ANY way to clear the “greasy / shiny / oily” look out of controllers and make them as close to matte again?

I hope we get to see this on PS5. I know chances are slim, but at the same time, it’d make the game more accesible for people like me, who can’t afford to spend on a VR-capable rig. A 1-2 year PC exclusivity makes sense while the time, if spent on porting / optimizing this, might help figuring how the PS5 hardware…

I find your joke incredibly untimely and outdated in today’s world landscape. Were you a bit more in touch with people, you'd know the rest of us have settled on "boomer doomer". 

I honestly expected an Onion-like article like, “they go into the heaven of games, where they get to play with other retired digital content, as long as they’ve scored a “Mostly favorable” score on metacritic” and so on. Oh well. There’s an idea.

No need importing from Japan! You can get it from Amazon Mexico, and you won’t even deal with region restrictions or warranties or whatever. It’s available for preorder, launches on march 13th. Doesn’t include the game, though.

Been waiting for this since I know of its existence! Glad to know it’s actually worth it, even if it is on the short side. 

Do we know if the new songs will also arrive as DLCs to the Future Tone suite on PS4? I’d love to give them a go!

LOL then we’re not having the same conversation :/

I can’t recommend enough to play this in VR. It’s PSVR’s stealth killer app and I don’t know how Sony ain’t milking that fact enough or pushing bundles with this game included.

Do we know if the new songs are hitting the PS4 Future Tone suite as DLC anytime soon?

SO getting this! Been waiting on it for a while, too!

I read that in my best Matthew McCougnaughey voice.

Heather, I don't know if you'll get to read this, but just wanted to congratulate you on this amazingly in-depth review. What an amazing read. I honestly didn't want to finish reading, I enjoyed your writing way too much. Please keep it up!!! 

Did I just stumbled into The Onion?? :v

As someone who bought an Xbox One S EXCLUSIVELY for the 4K disc playback, I also was dissappointed the Pro didn’t read UHD discs. Now they have the moral obligation of having Dolby Vision and HDR 10+ on the PS5 (the S doesn’t play DV on movies, only on Netflix). Atmos and DTS X should be a given at this point. 

It’s Japan’s “thoughts and prayers”.

Thanks for a such great review! Quick question: is this a game that can be played as a Single Player experience or is the Online Multiplayer an integral part of it? I ask because I do not have (nor wish/plan to have) a subscription to Xbox / PS4's online services. I only buy games with a memorable single player / couch…

Definitely getting this, thanks for the heads up! Do you know if there’s any difference between the Switch / PS4 ports? Like, support for a higher resolution or extra content? I’d wanna know where’s the best place to purchase it. If there’s no differences whatsoever, I’m definitely getting it on the Switch. Thanks!!
