While you could wait for CD Project Red to update the PS4 version of Cyberpunk 2077 enough to finally make it playable on that platform, it could be quite some time before that actually happens. It’s not often you see a digital store tell you to not purchase a version of a game made for one of the best-selling video game consoles ever, but that update is really just the latest chapter in what has proven to be the shockingly strange Cyberpunk 2077 story so far.

#GETTING OVER IT GAME PS4 PRO#
For the best Cyberpunk experience on PlayStation, play on PS4 Pro and PS5 systems.” Purchase for use on PS4 systems is not recommended. “IMPORTANT NOTICE: Users continue to experience performance issues with this game. All I can really say is: Awesome.Cyberpunk 2077 is finally back on the PlayStation Store, but the game comes with this warning that makes it clear that the PS4 version of the controversial title is still surprisingly broken: It’s not easy to really put it into words and I’m struggling to find the right way of doing it justice. Games can be fast and frantic or slow, tense, and calculated, depending on how your and your opponents choose to play. No, I wasn’t the best player, but someone has to lose, right? Taking on the computer controlled A.I is one thing, but to go against actual humans that think and strategise brings Videoball into its own level. I managed to play around 15 online matches before release and I think I won around five or six of them. It was 1 vs 2 for goodness sake…Īnyway, that’s not the real allure of Videoball the multiplayer is. I’ll be honest and admit that I haven’t even finished the Arcade Mode because it got to a point where I just couldn’t win. At first it’s easy peasy but it does get harder the further your progress. If you play by yourself, you’ll literally be on your own team going up against an opposing force of two. Not to mention at the end of the game she utters the most satisfying “that’s Videoball.” What can I say? I’m easily pleased.įor single player fans there’s an Arcade Mode that slowly eases you into the game. Every time a goal is scored, the announcer chimes in with something like “touch down” or “TD” or “happy birthday!” – yes, it’s silly and it’s fun. While the music is top-notch, the same can be said about the announcer that voices over the game. I’m not really a big fan of video game music (The Killers would improve every game by 47.5%) but I actually really enjoyed the retro-pop feel to the funky tunes that play over. Solid shapes with solid colours are more than enough for this game. The graphics are basic but they get the job done and, in my opinion, they add to the game’s unique flavour. It hasn’t got the realistic graphics of FIFA, or the complex ball play of Street Hockey 16 (that’s a game, yeah?) but it doesn’t need it. Videoball looks like a cheap and nasty motion game for the Wii, one of those that gets bundled in with those horrible 20-in-1 packs. It’s bonkers, and when you throw two or three balls into the mix it becomes chaotic fun that’s hard to not love.Īppearances can be deceiving just look at me as a prime example: I look like a bit of a pleb but I’m actually pretty smart. Also, if you charge a super triangle and send a ball flying, it will knock any players in its path away unless they fire back at it, which causes it to continue its journey at high-speed.

There’s a little more to it than just that though, as you can tactically charge your shots and fire them at the other team to send them floating around aimlessly for a second or two. The super triangle launches the ball across the screen at high-speed. You control your triangle by moving the analogue stick around and you play the ball around the arena by firing off smaller triangles, though you can charge your shots by holding the ‘fire’ button which will fire out a bigger triangle that will push the ball along further, or you can hold it even longer to fire out what I like to call a ‘super triangle.’ Think of Asteroids, and if you’re too young to know what Asteroids is, go back to thinking about a triangle. No, there’s no realism here you’re a triangle. You’re not a person, a sportsman, or an athlete. Sounds like 90% of the ball-based games I know of.īut there’s a twist. It’s a simple concept: Two opposing teams have to get the ball/balls into the other team’s goal.

Then when I saw it in action, I knew I needed to play it. I’ll be honest and say that the first time I was told about Videoball, I didn’t really care for it. Since the internet dictates that I write a sizeable chunk of text for this to really qualify as a review, let me expand a little. That’s the word I’d use if I could get away with reviewing Videoball with just one word.
