Anyone buy the Walking dead double pack ? 11 hrs till it unlocks and no pre-download.

I'll be picking up the tourist guide upgrade for first one and playing that through then hopefully get the 2nd one if I enjoy it enough. By all accounts though it's looking very good! Have never played the first one so looking forward to this.

Yeah I pre ordered it, looking forward to giving it a blast. The first one was good on Q2 but it was desperately crying out for better graphics.

Pre-load is now live for both parts.

Can you buy chapter 1 seperately?

Definitely buying it for psvr2 but I’m not sure if I’ll get both chapters or just the ps5 upgrade for chapter 1 if it’s cheaper.

Seems to be a problem for people who haven't purchased the deluxe pack containing chapter 1 and 2. I've been reading the Deluxe owners have got both downloaded and can play them where as others like myself are unable to access the new Chapter 1 version. Glad I'm holding off making a purchase till this mess is sorted.

I noticed it vanished from the store but is back up now. Looks like I can buy the tourist upgrade for £7.99 to give me access to chapter 1 on ps5/psvr2 as I already own it digitally on ps4.

Would that work?

No

I tried and the PS5 version is still unavailable!

Strange, it wasn’t there. Then it appeared, but several minutes later it vanished again!

Almost feels as though they don’t want folk to be able to upgrade from the previous chapter 1 to the ps5 version without buying it as part of the chapter 2 bundle!

If you look on the store there are two versions of Ch1. One of them is unavailable and the other £32.99. Both are linked to the Tourist Edition DLC. Frustrating, I thought it would allow free upgrade. Unsure what PSN are like to refunds, haven't heard the best stories, but you rarely hear the good ones.

The tourist edition upgrade is live now, purchased this version to upgrade my ps plus edition and then I could download the upgraded PS5 version. Hoping to try it later!

Do you buy the PS4 tourist version upgrade or PS5?

Been stuck in hospital for the last month so missed all the PSVR2 launch excitement. Seems to have been a positive launch, but as a VR virgin im still wondering if it’s worth buying, and there’s likely to be continued development etc, the PS Move was fun but short-lived IMO.

As it is, I’d only be buying it for GT7, for the experience, and I’d need a new wheel too cos I’m not buying a headset then using controller etc. Not been too convinced about other titles (tempted by NMS) but looking at the VR space it still feels like there’s no/few ‘full’ AAA games being made, and sim gamers are its biggest audience which is a shame.

Are folks happy with their purchase and optimistic for its future?

I've had my VR1 3 years and still use it at least once or twice a week. A lot of good titles.

Wilko_Dog · 21 Mar 2023 at 22:44

Anyone play GT7 with a controller? Is it still a good experience?

I enjoy it. Would love a wheel, but space and money.

I bought the PS4 Tourist edition £7.99 soon as I did that search for walking dead on psn and you'll find a 2nd walking dead version that's ps5 only and you can immediately add it to your library then download to console.

Cheers, I bought the PS5 tourist edition instead thinking it'll upgrade.

The whole upgrade path is a complete mess with misleading information from the start. It would be so nice to have a little more transparency from the developer/publishers about what you're supposed to do.
