Neon White was one in every of 2022’s most nice shocked when it landed earlier this 12 months, someway managing to mix old-school shooters with speed-running, a card sport, and Persona’s social hyperlinks. Now, having been out since June on different platforms, PlayStation homeowners will lastly be capable to play the sport.
Having initially launched on PC and Swap, Neon White is out on each PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 on December 13. And whereas the PS4 model goes to be a reasonably straight port, the PS5 version might be benefiting from the superior {hardware} to run at a relentless 120hz, and use the SSD drives to hurry up load instances (which can make an enormous distinction when you should restart a degree for the 97th time).

Controller Haptics present an additional degree of suggestions on prime of that. You’ll really feel it if you’re transferring quicker on water and also you’ll get a refined affirmation if you efficiently snipe a distant demon. Our aim wasn’t simply to make you’re feeling cool, however so that you can develop a sixth sense. To show you right into a speedrunning freak.

I’ve spent the previous few days attempting to determine why this weird concoction of parts clicks, and I feel I’ve it. Final summer time, throughout Neon White’s preliminary advertising and marketing push, Esposito advised me, “The power that powers this sport is teen power. That is what I’d have thought was the good factor ever after I was a youngster impressed by, like, Y2K era-anime and The Matrix and all these items.” Now that the sport’s really in my palms, this ethos is plainly evident—proper all the way down to the anime-inspired intro.
