Noticed Amazon have the PS5 and Switch versions of this for $4.10 cheaper than elsewhere.

PS4 and Xbox are still $79 though, noticed this change yesterday so not sure why they still haven't updated the price for those ones yet.

PS5 Link.

    Most people are unimpressed with what they've shown off for this game and it releases a day before God of War Ragnarok…

    Fully expect price to plummet quick. Not worth paying $75 for this now unless super desperate for it.

      There's been plenty of articles of people who played the demo with very positive things to say about it.

      Only reason I would pre-order would be to secure the steelbook at JB, but even that looks mediocre lol

      It’s a 3D Sonic game. Of course it’s going to suck.

    • You mentioned this before in the other forum thread about it yeah?

      I duno, I don’t play games much anymore but to me it looks pretty interesting.

      Where are you seeing that most people are unimpressed?

        Yep, a short demo is fun and new for people so there's that initial excitement, but the more in-depth previews pretty much all state it gets repetitive fast both in gameplay and the free roaming area that's quite sparse.

        It's not that it can't be enjoyed, it's just not that fantastic overall and do expect it to come down in price pretty quick.

    I'd rather play Balan Wonderworld.

    I want to play this game but not for $74.90.

    I will just rent it from my local Blockbuster and finish it over a weekend.

    • I won't pay to play a "Sonic" game for over say $50. I love Sonic, and am a huge fan, but the games have lost their way, and will maybe try it out when it's in the bargain bin.

  • I can't imagine anyone thinking this is actually a deal…

    Thanks Op, I usually wait on Sonic games cos they don’t hold their price for very long compared to Mario games. 👍

      So why are you thanking him?

        For putting the effort to post.

  • I really have to wonder how good the switch version will be.. I could be wrong but it’s a valid concern

    • +1

      Probably low resolution and fps. Like all Switch games released now considering how ancient the hardware is and Nintendo's refusal to stop milking the cash cow.

      • 'Nintendo's refusal to stop milking the cash cow.'

        What would you propose a Business does? That's aim is to make money?

        • That's the thing, they really don't have much reason to release a 'Switch Pro' since their current hardware is still selling so well.
          At the same time we don't have to be happy about it. How much longer can their continue to expect developers to support their outdated hardware? While devs try to make games for newer generation consoles they then have to optimise it for the Switch's hardware or risk missing out on a large portion of the market.

          • @CUD: You half answered yourself at the end.

            Nintendo isn't missing out on many Multiplatform AAA titles that'd traditionally sell on their console anyway.

            Im sure they'll release one soon, but unlike Sony and MS, games is Nintendo's big thing. They gotta do what's right for them. Atleast they've amalgamated the portable and home console this generation.

      • +1

        Yeah, Switch version targets 720p at 30fps in TV, tabletop and handheld modes (source)

        I get why they're still "milking it", but jeez it lags even on the eShop page

  • has there actually been any good sonic games since sega?

      Generations was good.
      Colours is also good.
