The latest trailer is great, really whets the appetite.

Paul Dean is the main reason I'm interested in this

I wish he was still at SUSD.

SUSD is dead. Even Quinns sold all his stock in the company to Matt.

I'd thought that this was gonna be another £70 game... but's it's £25 (and £22.49 if you're a PS Plus subscriber).

I've enjoyed reading/watching the previews and now really want to get this at that price.

^ The physical deluxe edition looks very nice. At £35, I really would like to get it!

Yeah, I’m eyeing that up too!

It appears that the download version will release on 22 February whilst the (PS5) disc version won't be available until 9 April.

I'm pretty much okay with this; if the reviews of the digital version indicate a duff game than I have plenty of time to cancel my pre-order for the disc version. If the reviews are (as I think they well be) positive, then I will keep the order in place!

^ Game overview.

I'm really intrigued by this; the car customisation looks terrific and the idea of trying to get to certain locations to gain crafting materials - whilst avoiding "anomalies" - sounds neat. Probably the game that I'm most looking forward to at the moment!

It looks interesting, but I'm sure it will come to PS+ one day.

Demo of this is up on Steam now for anyone wishing to try it

Ooh! I hadn't realised a demo was coming. Looking forward to hearing how PC owners get on with it.

... . Really looking forward to this!

Unusual to see a mag getting a review out before online sites; must have been an exclusive.

Edge sometimes do. I think it’s just a weird timing issue when going to print.

Anyway, an 8 is very promising- will be watching this one closely.

It launches next Thursday :-). £22.49 PlayStation Store pre-order price for Plus subscribers, too.

I’m not a plus subscriber anymore, but I think I will be holding out for the physical anyway.

I'd like to get the disc version, too... but that does mean waiting until April, though!

This is looking to be so good; and we're coming up to launch!

Eurogamer gave it four stars. It sounds good... but I'm wary of the difficulty aspect; it seems - intentionally - tough. I'm not sure that will suit me. Might now hold off.

...and Push Square gave it an 8.

Positive assessment but, again, it seems to be pretty challenging; deep controls and lots of stuff to juggle. I'd like to support this because it's a good, original game at a decent price, but right now my money is tight and I'm being very cautious as to what games I buy.

...oh, boy, I just don't know!

I've looked at more reviews and the key "drawbacks" mentioned are "too complicated" and "a bit slow". Hmmn... now I don't mind that second bit and that may give me time to work through the "complicated" stuff.

I might go for it. I want to get in whilst the PS Plus pre-order discount is available, though. so I can't hang around.
