I did a quick search, but didn't see anything on this here. Anyone getting it (it's out tomorrow) - the reviews are almost all raving about this game being maybe the best PS4 exclusive ever. And maybe across all platforms in it's genre. Often see five stars from the big review sites.

I'm just surprised I haven't seen much hype for this game beforehand. But regardless, think I'm going to go order it now.

Ah well, snooze you lose I suppose. Just paid R989 on Takealot. Could have got it cheaper at Raru, but decided to go with Takealot as I'm pretty sure I'll get it tomorrow morning with them.

Even as a fan of the franchise I'm wary when unanimous perfect scores are given to a game. I'm reminded of GTA 4.

I hear you. But take a look at it, it's pretty unanimous. They basically gushing over this game. And it apparently looks very pretty on the PS4 Pro. They sucked me in :)

Do you need to have played any of the previous ones to know what's happening in this one?

I haven't played any of the others. And from reading the reviews, the game itself is rather different from the others.

Haven't played the others either.

My PS4 Pro is collecting dust at the moment since I mainly use it for PS exclusives. Really liked the Uncharted games so I'm interested to see how this would top that...

Well, I play Destiny 2 quite a lot, so my Pro certainly doesn't gather dust! I take it you played HZD?

Anyway, just got my order delivered from Takealot 15 minutes ago. Ordered yesterday afternoon, so pretty good from them.

Now for the 7 gig download this evening...

Yeah it was good, but still prefer Uncharted and Last of Us. There's something that Naughty Dog just seems to do right when it comes to storytelling.

7 gig doesn't bother me so much anymore, that's like 20 minutes now :D

Ja. ja, rub it in. Wait till I get my fibre ;)

Maybe get the PSVR as well then, and play RE7 on it.

The only GOW I played was 3 on the PS3 and I was probably doing it wrong as it seemed like alot of button mashing for the bosses. That also had decent reviews.
Wouldn't mind trying it out for a bit as it does look epic.
