I have really enjoyed the game, but it needs cities. The worlds need populations, and sometimes substantial populations. And this needs everything that cities would bring. Places to eat, get jobs or tasks to do, landmark destinations and anything else one might think of. It makes no sense that you encounter these 3 alien races throughout all the star systems, but never does one encounter any kind of settlement or groups of the aliens living together, nevermind that they would all be enormous civilizations with huge cities. Again, I have loved this game and the sense of exploration and traveling the stars has been really enjoyable to me. But after ~40 hours spent on this game it seems like the lack of development on any world seems like the obvious flaw in the games design.
@Kellanved I guess I am less optimistic. If so much is changing from the game that they released on disc I am not sure I am especially confident in what this product will be. Add in the lack of reviews and the begging people not to play and this doesn't really seem that promising. Really hope to be wrong about this though.
For everyone who says that this month is terrible for PS4, is Rebel Galaxy really that bad? It looks good to me, and I am excited to play it. I also still have my PS3, so this is actually an above average month to me
Too many remakes. If 40% of the top 10 was made for PS3 (and both of the top 2) than the PS4 is a much worse system than I suspected (it is not). And while I get that Journey and TLOU are classics and great they don't seem like the best PS4 games, they are classic PS3 games that you can play on your PS4 with a nicer overall look. In order for these remakes to so dominate the list you must heavily discount originality and creativity, and I fundamentally disagree with that.
@Hellbringer1975 While I get what you are saying, reviews aren't a random nobody's opinion. Ideally they are the professional opinion of some one who has knowledge of the medium (in this instance video games). Now my opinion would be a random nobody's and no one should really care, but I have come to trust this site for their reviews, which elevates them above the random nobody, at least for me.
I don't know. It seems at this point that devs would be foolish to make games optimized for the PS4k. The install base of the PS4 is huge, millions and millions of people. Very few of those will upgrade, I'd guess around 20-25%, max. Most developers would rather sell games to those people who only have a base PS4, and have games that may run a little better on PS4k. If games run like crap on the base system and only really work in the 4k they would be targeting a minority of gamers (at least for a couple years) and that is a stupid financial decision.
I bought the season pass and was looking forward to this l, but have now been waiting to give it a try until a patch comes out. Totally unacceptable and guarantees that I won't be buying another season pass from Bethesda

Re: Rumour: LEGO Harry Potter Collection to Earn Five Points for PS4
If they were going to remaster any of the Lego games the Star Wars collection seems like the one. These Harry Potter games? Meh.

Re: Feature: 10 PS4 Games to Get Hyped for at E3 2016
Good list, but hard to feel too excited about a remake or Watchdogs 2.
