Thought the finale was the best we could have expected after the mediocre last episode. Was a hell of a show and overall I enjoyed the story arcs and where each character had ended. My favourite scene visually from the episode

Heres the trailer for the new season:

First review I've seen appear (review embargo lifts tomorrow but this site bought their own copy), on a site called Pureplaystation, they gave it a score of 8/10. Their conclusion: There’s not much to Rage 2 except the gameplay and combat. The story is still uninspired and the overall experience before things feel repetitive is pretty short. I’m just glad the developers injected a much needed yet familiar boost in how the player can cause gory and over the top mayhem. It alone was the driving force for me. I don’t know if this sequel was necessary, but it was a serviceable three day distraction. Pros Addictive and adrenaline injected gameplay Many cool and distinct combat possibilities The weapons are the bomb Cons Uninspired, short story Nice amount of content eventually feels repetitive Mission breaking technical problems

Patch 1.02 is already out to download for anyone who has the game, PS4 and Xbox size is 14 gig. Haven't seen anyone post the patch notes yet.

Sony has just released a documentary of the game on their YouTube channel. Settle in, as its almost two hours long

Bethesda streamed the game for about an hour last night on Twitch. They were answering questions and confirmed the review embargo lifts on Monday at 8am (not sure which timezone though, so assume sometime in the afternoon here in the UK):

This has just been announced for the PS4, releases on the 14th of May. Been looking forward to playing this for ages: Edit Looks like this is also coming out on the Switch and XBox:

I think only weapons that you have purchased from the merchants in any of the camps appear in the lockers. Any weapons you pick up are not stocked / shown in the lockers AFAIK.

A review has popped up from a site called Pureplaystation, they scored it 8.7/10 (They played it on the latest 1.03 patch btw) I won't link to their actual review as it supposed to have story spoilers, but here is their conclusion: Summary Days Gone is another notable addition to the PlayStation 4’s first party library. It follows the standard open world mold, but tells an intriguing story of a conflicted character and a unique survivalish-based zombie apocalypse. Gameplay is down to earth, gritty, and most of all fun while doing just enough differently to set it apart. Shame that multiple technical issues hold the game back regardless if they will be easily patched or not. But hey, I think I have an irrational fear that Freaker hordes will surround my house now. Pros Unique zombie apocalypse story where things aren’t as they seem Amazing character type and depth in the conflicted Deacon St. John Gameplay mixed with survival and shooting elements ensures smarts will win in the end Cons Gun strafing is clunky and not an effective gameplay strategy Just a few too many, minor technical issues

For anyone wanting this (potentially) early, Shopto have this in stock to be shipped tomorrow:

The first clip for Diego Maradona, the new documentary from Asif Kapadia who directed Senna and Amy. This is released in cinemas on the 14th June:

An embargo has lifted which allows people to show an hours worth of the game. It is from an hour into the beginning of their playthroughs. Obviously, there will be gameplay spoilers in the videos but they state there are no story specific spoilers: Reviews are released on Thursday.

The photo mode in this looks amazing, seems similar to Spiderman in options. Can be viewed via this Reddit post:
