They own Marvel but the licensing deals werent messed with. This is Activision trying to make $40 off of two really old games with no upgrades, probably need to make up the cash for that horrible TMNT release a few months back.
I was surprised to see Shiren the Wanderer up there, that's pretty crazy. Can't really afford another $40 digital game (after giving in to I Am Setsuna), but will pick it up later.
That sounds like a lot of games and films....not sure why it has to be singled out as an Uncharted clone based on vague details regarding tone and characterization.
Kinda meh animations and it looks way too slow. Maybe that'll change by 2017, but I already have SSB for when I want to play SSB. @rjejr mentioned Brawlhalla, another great platform fighter.
Wow, very well done video. The graphics are beautiful. It's the survival elements of the game that stray me away, never been a fan of the survival genre.
Wowzers, I wish these developers kept all the combat/platforming but dropped the whole Dark Souls "you're gonna die and fight all the boring mobs again and again and again!" feeling.
Igavania style with that combat and pixel art would be killer.
Yeesh, apparently PS4 players will only pick this game up if it's free on PS+.....regardless of if it's a good game or not.
A "GOTY" edition with all the DLC at $60 is the right way to release this. Anything less, and you just want to bone the developers because of the publisher's exclusivity deal.
I feel it'll be dead by 2018, unless they switch over the trade show aspect to a videogaming convention. It seems they have to hype up their expo so the bigger vendors actually care about showing up.
Personally, it was alright but it's something these huge companies could've technically set up themselves, still filled the seats, and still got the internet talking.
I dont mind it, will be picking it up for XBO. Looks rad.
This is simply how exclusivity works now with Capcom and Square Enix. SFV, RE7, FF7 re-telling; these all have some form of Sony exclusivity. I think SFV and RE7 are permanently exclusive...though microsoft could probably make money indirectly through PC gaming sales.
"While Microsoft doesn't appear to have its record straight about whether its mysterious Project Scorpio will receive exclusive games or not"
They said it was up to the development community, which is the right thing to say. Because console devs will eventually want to work on a beefier system while PC devs get to migrate their beefier games to console.
Since PS4K is an addition, it can end up splitting the user base. PS4K owners get to play the games as intended (solid 60fps, 1080p+) while PS4 owners get the same sub-60fps we've been getting. PS4K owners get fog in Fallout4, PS4 owners dont.
I love top-down brawlers, so this could get a sale out of me.....if it wasnt connected to their toys.
I mostly want to play another Dark Alliance, Champions of Norrath, X-Men Legends, or Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Something that maybe breaks the mold a little and adds in platforming...I dont know.
haha, nope. I use an XBO controller for PC gaming. Never needed a touchpad because my mouse is usually right next to my PC...and that's hardly an advantage when you have to switch the shoddy analog sticks or the creaky triggers.
They have improved it, I recently picked up that Uncharted-brand DS4 and it is miles better than their launch DS4s. Still has crap battery life though...
Holy hell! I just put money towards this game yesterday, but this is a huge no-go for me.
Was willing to forget about the lack of local co-op...that was when I thought local mp was being scrapped for a 60fps presentation on an at least 6-hour campaign.
Also, the "switch between 4 turtles" approach fails every single time it is done. A TMNT game needs to have each turtle feel unique, secret characters, and local 4-player.
Well deserved, this is an amazing FPS that does the old Doom games justice. If there's even the slightest possibility of couch co-op in a future game, I hope it becomes reality. That's all this needs to put it at perfect 10/10 status.
I'm still not sold on FFXV in general. Both demos werent very good and they seem to be hiding as much plotting as possible, which gives me the feeling of another FFXIII situation.
I'm waiting this one out. Glad it looks to be a great SP game but I've grown too tired of UC during the first three games. I think I've grown allergic to cover shooters...
Anyway, maybe I'll get back into the genre later and have a ball. Doom may be my next destination
Worst impulse-buy ever. The splitscreen is a joke, with 1/4th of the screen taken up by ginormous double mini-maps. These guys made Borderlands, there's no reason for the splitscreen to be this bad. What a let down.
As for the content, story mode is weak and the missions are a bore. Everything is server-side so expect hiccups and long waits for one-sided 30min matches.
It should be compared to Overwatch. Not in genre (one is MOBA, the other is a team shooter) but in multiplayer options, ease of use, responsiveness....you know, important things. I could play an Overwatch match in the time it takes 10 players just to pick their characters in battleborn. Despite Overwatch having less team interaction, they have better call out options for healing/defense, which boggles my mind that Battleborn has none of...just taunts.....
Dont mean to poop on this review, I agree with a few points and dont deny his opinion is just as valid. Just felt like dropping my 2cents.
Other than the two examples being horrible games, how far off the mark is this spoof really. You know April's IGC is going to have some sort of eye-burning low pixel count game front and center.
My PS+ renewed thanks to their auto-renew option that turns itself on. After this year I'm done with it, hasnt been very worthwhile for quite some time now.
Still amped for this one, will be pre-ordering it soon. I just wish the Limited Edition released for Vita too, would kinda prefer to have the game on the go but oh well.
So instead of waiting for the Ultra Alpha Max EX-Plus version (which they said they wouldnt do with SFV) people just have to wait for the initial content that the game should've launched with. Good going Capcom, keep raking in the dough.
I'd be pissed if I had to grind to get Capcom-Bucks only to unlock a character that mysteriously disappears from my roster lol.
The Tales of series could use a darker tone, the past few releases just havent grabbed my interest. Xillia and Xillia2 hit a big slump, I couldnt finish them. Hearts R is decent but still forgettable. Zestiria looks nice but the story seems weak (especially the fusing with seraphim bits).
Hopefully Berseria does enough to feel fresh throughout, it definitely looks good for a PS3 game.

Re: Now You Can Play Super Nintendo Games with a PS4 Controller
...Why would I ruin an SNES game playthrough with a PS4 controller...
Re: Batman Will Be the First Telltale Game with Multiplayer
So it's essentially a "Twitch Plays" deal. I don't consider that multiplayer but okay.
Re: Lara Croft's Tomb Raider Rises on PS4 with New Story, Modes, and PlayStation VR
heehee, the reactions between this article and the last one are hi-la-ri-ous.
Re: Poll: Will You Pay Full Price for Rise of the Tomb Raider on PS4?
This place gets more and more amusing by the week :]
Re: Rumour: Lara Croft's Rise of the Tomb Raider Rushes PS4 on 11th October
It's an awesome game, I would pay $60 for it if I didnt already have it on XBO.
And really, enough crying about paid exclusivity while SFV and Resident Evil 7 exist. The hypocrisony ponies makes me laugh though.
Re: Amy Hennig's Star Wars Game Sounds a Lot Like Uncharted
That sounds like a lot of games and films....not sure why it has to be singled out as an Uncharted clone based on vague details regarding tone and characterization.
Re: All PlayStation VR Games Will Support the DualShock 4
I bet using the DS4 will often bring mixed results when compared to the Move controllers.
What this really means is be wary of what game your getting since developers will likely be all over the place with controller configurations.
Re: Talking Point: Will No Man's Sky Live Up to the Hype on PS4?
For those who like sci-fi exploration and walking simulators, I'm sure it'll meet the hype requirements
For the rest of us, probably just another mildly entertaining release. Either way, it'll sell really well.
Re: Brawlout May Be a Solid Alternative to Super Smash Bros on PS4
Kinda meh animations and it looks way too slow. Maybe that'll change by 2017, but I already have SSB for when I want to play SSB.
@rjejr mentioned Brawlhalla, another great platform fighter.
Re: Shadow of the Colossus' Influence Looms Large Over Prey for the Gods
Wow, very well done video. The graphics are beautiful. It's the survival elements of the game that stray me away, never been a fan of the survival genre.
Re: Shenmue 3 Isn't Going to Be Ready for a Long, Long While Yet
I'm betting it'll be an episodic release with the first slice releasing end of 2017/early 2018, and a physical copy releasing later with all episodes.
Never been a Shenmue fan so the outcome doesnt affect me one way or another.
Re: 2D Action RPG Death's Gambit Is Looking Seriously Good on PS4
Wowzers, I wish these developers kept all the combat/platforming but dropped the whole Dark Souls "you're gonna die and fight all the boring mobs again and again and again!" feeling.
Igavania style with that combat and pixel art would be killer.
Re: Review: Adventures of Mana (PS Vita)
I wish they tightened the combat up a bit and fixed the random enemies that spawn literally on top of you. Other than that, a decent release.
Re: Review: Furi (PS4)
"Super responsive controls elevate the action"
That's what matters most to me. Can't wait to play
Re: Your July PlayStation Plus Games Have Been Revealed
This looks like a great selection for PS+, can't wait to pick up Furi
Re: Pre-Order Old School RPG I Am Setsuna and Get Some Lovely PS4 Themes
@expa0 Nope, digital only. I was just checking that myself since this looks like such a great return-to-form JRPG.
I havent been interested in JRPG characters/plotting for ages now it feels. Definitely pre-ordering this.

Re: E3 2016: Vampyr PS4 Gameplay Bleeds Atmosphere
Combat looks more like AC to me than Bloodborne. Seems more like an insult to Bloodborne

Re: Reaction: Sony Saves E3 2016 with Super Strong PS4 Exclusives
It was a decent showing, mostly for games scheduled in the holiday 2017 to delayed 2018 though. Didnt care about the VR stuff either.
Best parts were the orchestra, Horizon, God of War, and SpidermanPS4.

Gahh, the framerate hurts my eyes. Gamer goggles do nossing!
Anyway, ND do pull off some great visuals. Never liked the actual game parts though...
Re: We're Still Not Sold on Final Fantasy XV's Battle System
I'm still not sold on FFXV in general. Both demos werent very good and they seem to be hiding as much plotting as possible, which gives me the feeling of another FFXIII situation.
Those combat mechanics were very wonky.
Re: Japanese Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Climbs Above the Competition
Well that's a good start, I wonder if it'll keep selling in the longrun or if it'll disappear from the top10 next week.
Hot damn, the totals for pretty much all Nintendo games and Powerful Pro Baseball are way up there.
Re: UK Sales Charts: Uncharted 4 Smashes Predecessor's Sales on PS4
I thought Doom released in the UK on May 13th, so wouldnt this be week ending in May 15th?
All around great news though, kind of impressive for Doom to hit #2 with three less days on the market.

I'm not surprised, Battleborn is a pretty great game.
Re: Pre-Order Your PlayStation VR Launch Bundle for PS4 Now
It definitely isnt flying off the pre-order shelves, but looks like the usual drove of Amazon scalpers have had their fun
Re: PS4 Fans Are So Mad at PlayStation Plus They're Making Parodies
Other than the two examples being horrible games, how far off the mark is this spoof really. You know April's IGC is going to have some sort of eye-burning low pixel count game front and center.

Re: Review: The Walking Dead: Michonne - Episode 1: In Too Deep (PS4)
Hmmm, I figured a Michonne game would be more in the brawler category instead of another one of these TellTale visual novels with fake choices.
Wolf Among Us and Back to the Future were great TT installments though.
Re: Weird PS4 RPG The Technomancer Is Starting to Grab Our Attention
Havent enjoyed any game made by Spiders Studio, "Of Orcs and Men" being the only one that was slightly decent. I'll be avoiding this one.
Re: Take on a Contract with PS4, Vita RPG Grand Kingdom's New English Trailer
Still amped for this one, will be pre-ordering it soon. I just wish the Limited Edition released for Vita too, would kinda prefer to have the game on the go but oh well.
Re: Vibrant Street Fighter V PS4 Theme Free for PlayStation Plus Members

Enjoy the free theme folks!
Re: Hideo Kojima's PS4 Exclusive Will Blow Us Away, Apparently

Re: Review: Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae (PS4)
Nice review, I've been on the fence with this one....but I loves me some fast-paced hack n slash so why not.
Re: Characters Are Vanishing from Copies of Street Fighter V on PS4
So instead of waiting for the Ultra Alpha Max EX-Plus version (which they said they wouldnt do with SFV) people just have to wait for the initial content that the game should've launched with. Good going Capcom, keep raking in the dough.

Re: Poll: Which PS4 PlayStation Plus Freebie Will You Be Voting to Play?
Assault Android Cactus for me, looks like a great co-op twinstick shooter. Own Broforce on PC and didnt dig it too much.
Re: PS4 and Vita RPG Grand Kingdom Captures Confirmed Western Release Dates
Had to look up gameplay to see if it was like the old PSP release. They upgraded the strategy combat quite a bit, it looks really good.
So far I dont see it up for pre-order anywhere though, maybe in a few days time.
EDIT: Nvm, found a pre-order page on the official NISA website

Re: Toukiden 2's Open World Welcomes You in First PS4 Screenshots
Nice, maybe the open-world structure will help me enjoy this series. Faster combat wouldnt hurt either
Re: Time to Pick Your PlayStation Plus PS4 Freebie
Assault Android Cactus gets my vote for sure, love that game.
