Sportfriends and more specifically Pole Riders is the ultimate DS4 sticks stress test.

So hyped for this game, Ultra was my portable GOTY back then and now I'll get the sequel for free yet again...I almost feel bad but my Vita will rejoice!
When exactly does the review embargo lift today?
Brash games (never heard of them) has already given it a 10/10, but the actual review isn't out yet. Can't wait!
EDIT: Found one more review (no score)

I would create a review thread, but my day is gonna be crazy in the morning and I don't think I can maintain it.

Actually pretty excited for this. This and Res0gun could be the best PS+ games I've played.

I'm glad I'm going to be super busy today. Makes the waiting that much bearable.

I wonder if they got two trophy lists in the end (like Sound Shapes etc) ? They were asking if people wanted it on Twitter. Sony seemed to have changed policy on that though, you don't see it on any new games coming out now.

About 6 and a half hours
Will be sharing a video as soon as that lifts it it's okay. Are those prices in OT confirmed? Couldn't find 'em and it looks like it's not even in the PS Store yet?
They're directly from James.

Cool, thanks. Didn't know the price so I don't mention it in the video, will put it in the description.
It's actually great. I don't ALWAYS use it on Vita, but I played most of Ultra on a plane and found touch teleport very helpful for certain sections.
Teledashing on foot is simplified and much more befitting of platforming, you don't so much move the reticle as snap it to 1 of 4 directions instantly.

Just read a couple early reviews. 8.5 and an A. Good stuff. Plus there's that 10 score with no review yet. On mobile so I cant link, but a quick google search got me those reviews. Embargo should be up soon anyway. I expect greatness.
About 6 and a half hours
Cool. 1 hour left!

Shouldn't it be 1 hour? Here is 5PM and I'm at GMT+1

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Cross save? Do we know yet?

Critical Urgency DLC pack (speedruny-levels) announced. Says "available now" so I guess it goes live at launch?
yes cross save
yes cross save
i expect nothing less. First game was amazing on psmobile.
And the vita version was toe to toe with LAst of us as my favourite game last year.
makes you go into the zone and come out the other side wondering how the fuck you managed to do that.
getting top marks on the last level on ultra was the GOAT
Am I right in assuming that this is exclusive to the PS4 and Vita, because I am about to buy it for the Vita.
Yes it has Cross Save.

I'm not very good at these types of games, but I always have fun playing Velocity Ultra, damn fine game.
People complain about this being a weak month for PS+....ridiculous claim.

No other platforms yet. Sony isn't too tight, so it's probably up to the dev. If you want it now you'll have to buy on PS though.
Triggerhappytel

Y'know, considering I'm getting the game for free via PS+, I might go ahead and buy this DLC.
For now, yes. I imagine it will show up on PC as well at some point, although who knows about other consoles.

Wait, does this mean the base game doesn't have critical urgency level types? Or is this just an extra bunch? Those super fast stages were my favourites in Ultra.
Anyway any excuse to give the devs money is fine by me considering the game is free. Any idea what this dlc is priced at?
Ah cool, I will probably buy it for the Vita and thus giving my Little Brother access to the game on the PS4 due to crossbuy. And should it appear on other system, well I don't mind dipping again the game looks really good.

It's just extra levels, named after the "critical urgency" level type.

Nice!

Though I'm not really comfortable about buying DLCs for games I got with PS+. But whatever

I predict a Metacritic of 87, PS4 version.

If for some reason you stop having PS+ you can just buy the game, the DLC you purchase for PS+ games stays with your account.
