I understand its a very ambitious game, but they should have shifted way more focus into making the online component solid, instead of fidgeting so much with aligning the stars and real time moon phases. That's all cool, but starting a crew with buddies online is what the whole game is about, so when it doesn't work day one, you can expect lots of backlash.
Not interested in the game anyway. Still he's creating just as much if not more aggravation but purposely reducing the resolution. People will complain either way, so why not optimize for each system. Makes me wonder if that's the real reason, or just a front for something he's doesn't want to mention.
I've played all but a couple of PS3 games that I was interested in. I regularly fire it up for Uncharted, Metal Gear and Dead Space series, Super Stardust, Super Puzzle Fighter 2, Lumines, Clash of Heroes, and Tetris (battle mode is pretty fun). Would rather play them on my PS4, but why pay to rent, when I own.
Plus, as some people here have already mentioned, the streaming media, and mp3 capabilities are still missing from PS4.
Square should seriously consider not promoting a FF installment until the game is much closer to completion. Instead, they really hype the game in the early stages, and have us wait for an indefinite number of "years", only to be disappointed when it finally launches. Not holding my breath on this one.
There will always be better hardware as soon as the latest/greatest models hit the stores. PS4 is capable of graphics that would please most people I would think, even though game-play is more important. So I don't see this as any kind of disadvantage.
After seeing the screen shots, I'd have to agree with the title of this article. The game play mechanics look really interesting from what I've seen. Hopefully there will be a demo, but I do trust Media Molecule to make something worth the money.
People like this weasel are an embarrassment to us all (American or not). Stupidity has no color, race or region, and spans the globe. Find something meaningful to protest about, not a stupid game spec. I hope he walks away with nothing but a lawyers fee.
Paying several subscriptions a month, just to game online does not sound like something I'm looking forward to. PS Plus is a great value, but I don't pay extra for the music service. Likewise, I will not be paying monthly for EA, Ubisoft, Capcom, etc. should they start this crap. Even a small $5 per month fee, multiplied by 2, 3, 4 publishers, and you get my point.
Is this the new standard feature for Sony exclusive games? Sure hope so. It's really nice to capture those action scenes, and peaceful sunset areas. You can open them on you computer, see the fine details, and really appreciate all the work that went into this type of game.
@mikey85 Since KZ price is already really low, might be worth getting the Infamous 2 pack. Also because it has much more to do during and after the main campaign. Overall more enjoyable to play (unless your favor shooters more). KZ to me feels similar to the last installment. It's decent, but nothing that really makes it stand out.
Let it go woman. Being famous automatically makes you open to all sorts of ridicule. It just comes with the teritorry. If you behave like a brat, that''s how the public will poke fun at you.
As soon as I heard about the rubber wearing off quickly, I purchased a set of rubber covers online for about $3. Better grump, since they have little bumps all over, and no issues with wear on the original.
I don't necessarily mind delays, still... I'm hoping it's not a regular practice, hitting every major release. If features like social networking don't add to the experience, then it can be left out. One less headache for devs, less delay time. I doubt we'd feel like somethings missing.
I hope we have the option to turn off the hud. The huge gun graphic at the bottom of the screen seems to take away from the emersion. Why give it so much space after making the in-game graphics so realistic?
This is the most interesting news regarding gameplay I've read since the intro trailer. Will be nice to mix-up the run-and-gun with some detective puzzle solving to add some depth to the story.
I could see a delay, but would much rather it be "worth" the delay. Sony will catch a lot heat if it delayed a while, then the graphics being the only thing amazing about it. Still really high on my list though.
@Paranoimia Ditto. All my friends that own a PS3, have only bought one, and still have plenty of games they haven't played yet. One of them even has an original launch version with all the SD ports, etc. Same goes for me, one ps3, several years ago, still running fine, still playing unique IPs that look really good. Actually my PS3 gets a bit more of my time than my PS4. That will change, but I didn't have to get a PS4 at launch because I was feed-up with my PS3. This guys playing the media, manipulation role.
Yes, more frequent updates that add functionality like media server, mp3, YouTube, etc., not just minor bug fixes. Those simple features make us very happy.
Sony could use their digital content instead of dropping the price. Just add free PS+ for a year, and throw in a $50 redeem code for anything on PS Store.
Good to hear they're putting so much effort into making a top quality transition to the PS4. Little improvements like the new trigger options are great. L2 and R2 feel so much more natural on the dual shock 4.
Because TLOU is one of my top five favorite games of the many I've played, any addition to the story or sequel is welcome with open arms... and a pre-order.
As tough as little Ellie is, it will be interesting to see how much more BAD-A__ Ellie will be as a young adult. How has the world changed in those years? Have the clickers evolved? Can't wait to find out.
Oh no, I'll have to wait a month for the S.W.A.T. Pigeon DLC? Sorry, couldn't resist. :^)
I'm actually curious if these minor 1-3 month exclusives make a real difference, or if MS is just using them for marketing purposes. Personally I was done after MW3, so...
I would agree that they are likely just moving on to new things. Uncharted has had a long and successful run. After many years since the first Uncharted, I think anybody would want a change of pace.
Re-purchasingisn't an issues if I really enjoy playing them, and they include extras like DLC. Think I'll pass on GTA V for PS4. I'm not investing all that time again to build characters, online achievements, and complete all the missions. That's almost like starting Skyrim from scratch after putting in 100+ hours. Only if the stats and trophies can be transferred will I consider re-purchasing GTA V.
True the average person won't notice, but if there is technically more detail or a higher frame rate, then thats a fact. So saying "I don't believe it" is just an opinion.

Re: Final Fantasy Designer's Batman Character Almost Appeared in a Game
Doesn't feel like batman. "Flamboyant" is the right word. It's a cool looking character, just not at all for Batman, given his life story and mood.
