Not that I needed the reviews, the game was awesome the first time I've played it, and even though I'll still play it in 3rd person view, I'm excited for all the new content. 

Games has been preordered for a while, and is now waiting on my HDD to be unlocked...

Shrug, it's pretty much the same game as last year no? So its probably going to get similar scores. I really struggle to see why it's getting re reviews but I guess the websites have to get page hits so it's an easy way to do it.

I have to admit though the first person mode might have sold me on this game after passing on it last year.

But it's not the same game. It's a similar game, with many added content, and as you said yourself - a first-person mode.

So it deserves to be re-reviewed and the new content to be judged in comparison to the game as a whole. Because, it was entirely possible for the game to get worsened by all the additions.

But, anyway, here's hoping that all these scores don't get revised if the Online part goes belly-up tomorrow.

It's about the changes. And as far as I heard the changes are notable, making it a definitive edition that deserves its name. So actually it should get even better ratings.

Don't tell Polygon how to do their serious reviewing process!

Never found time to play the 7th gen version, so i'm looking forward to picking a copy up. Haven't decided between the PC and PS4 version yet though. I know more people that will be getting it on the latter, but if it's unstable then i'll hop on the PC version, friends be damned :p



I didn't get this on last gen, may on this. What extra stuff is there besides the first person? Just upper graphics or is there some free DLC as well?



Hmm, pie.

So it's better than Sonic Boom?



I wonder if FP mode will draw a new audience to the game. It makes me less interested, but it might make FP fans a lot more interested. It also becomes somewhat of a reason to buy into the new gen, even for people who've played the game on PS360.

Exactly the same situation. :o

Think my friends are gonna force me to get the PS4 version though.
