Excellent point... and with that attitude we know he didn't bother checking for himself.

Why do I hear LOTR climax battle orchestra music when looking at this box art?

I'll likely play through just to watch the anime cut scenes. Art style and characters seem interesting.

@Paranoimia

My thoughts also. I'm curious about what's keeping Sony from unlocking YouTube uploading. Some legal nonsense, or worse, a competitor is interfering. Twitch is just "something" for now.

Yes, fewer, but more hefty updates like this, unless there are bugs that will interfere with playing the games. Thanks Sony for listening.

I bought the digital version for PS3, with regret when a friend wanted to borrow it. I'm going disc for the PS4 release. Hope they figure out a discount for the digital-to-disc scenario.

@DrJoeystein

There is absolutely no way they would upgrade for $20. That would be a sweet deal of course. I'm guessing something in the $40 range... comparing it to other re-release ports to PS4.

User interface graphics, text clarity, and picture detail overall, are good reasons to keep an eye on the 4k tech. Similar to CRT compared to LCD, and LCD blacks to LED blacks. Each looks fine on their own, but after seeing the better screen, you get it.

Here we go...

I'm going to wait for this one, and see how far they take these "micro-viruses" infecting ever game now. So if the tires wear out after 50k miles, will we have to pay to 50 cents to replace them?

I could see Sony charging around $300. Still cheaper than the OR, but only $50 more than the Vita. It's an nice amount of money sure, but for the first-gen tech it's reasonable.

Better still, lets all jam a cable in the back of our skull like The Matrix and be done with it already. :^D

I don't know which is better news. The fact that Naughty Dog is rebuilding the PS4 version in stead of some third party, or that UC4 is in the works.

Now your talking. Yea, this is a must buy for me, even though I've played it four times on my PS3.

Definitely bizarre, but thats not uncommon with anime (a huge fan myself). I'm interested to see how this turns out.

Ugh...! As much as I know it's a not-so-sneaky marketing trick, I may have to pre-order just to get Bruce Lee. One of my favs growing up. I hate contributing to the pre-order non-sense... but, it's Lee man... Lee! They had better have acturate fighting skill set for his character and not just a skin.

The trailers and game features really had me interested, but for some reason this PS4 version seems... honestly unexciting. I really hope my impressions are dead wrong, because we need a Dragons Dogma-type game for PS4.

Nice. I'm playing the campaign now for the first time, and already looking forward to more DLC.

Glad she's still going to be working on games. I'm hoping Disney doesn't smash any dark approach she might bring to give it a fresh spin, more for mature adults than rated-E. I can see Disney having issues with that.

Absolutely going into my library of games to play. Hope it's as good as it appears to be.

More content is welcome. Really enjoying this, and actually just started the paper mission.

While this is disturbing to some degree, those two didn't build the games by themselves. There are some very talented people at Naughty Dog and others they can hire from elsewhere to continue bringing us great experiences.

It does make me wonder though, what exactly is going on at the company.

As it should be. Second Son is a blast, with really good voice acting and the best graphics I've seen on my PS4 to date. Did I mention a blast to play? A guaranteed 2-3 replays, and hopefully some DLC missions.

Glad I held out on Thief. I'll likely rent it over a weekend for a couple of bucks.

Good news. I'll be turning that hack feature off so I can actually enjoy the game.

That is still a general "safe" response, thats does not clarify anything about why she was either fired or given a choice to leave. Like with Phil Harrison, people with great minds that invest a lot of heart into their work and the company they work for, don't tend to leave at a moments notice. It's possible she strongly disagreed with the direction that Sony wants to take for a UC4 or another PS4 project. I work in a crop. environment and know when emails that state, "their contributions are greatly appreciated, blah, blah..." that person was fired, or forced out.

Whatever the reason, it's a big mistake. Her vision and perspective brought us brilliant games, story telling and massive awards to the Sony brand. Doesn't take a genius to realize you keep some one like that at all cost. Now what, she gets replaced by some guy who will rehash things we've seen before. Hopefully not, but this is a downer.

Meanwhile, I'll be just fine playing plenty of PS4 exclusive and multi-plat games, that I won't miss TF. It actually seems fun for a bit but given my taste for story-driven single player, TF will loose my interest quickly.

Keep the current price, but make a couple of bundles with Infamous 4 and Thief.

Hopefully there will be a beta or demo.

Very interesting ideas, perfect for horror games. Just wondering if people type different commands at the same time, how the game will handle it.

Would really cool if the game allowed interaction with objects like letting spectators become a cat or mouse, or fly, control it, and follow or chase the main player... or knock over a broom, or smash a window at any given time.

Great for people to have the option. I however won't be paying a monthly subscription for this.

Looks pretty good. Wish it were more realistic though. Has a "PG" feel to it... similar to Kingdom of Amalur, but less color saturation. Thats just a nitpick though. Could be pretty entertaining.

Seems like a given. For the price of roughly one blu-ray game your getting an entire library with a big variety. Top it off with discounts all the time.

I watched roughly two play through episodes on youtube, then decided to just watch all the cutscenes instead. That was enough for me. Don't feel like I missed much. I know it's not the same as playing the game, but I was not buying an xbox for Gears.

Like him or not Patcher must be doing something right given his position. That still doesn't mean he's always right. I think Vita still has a chance. Maybe slim, but still a chance. They'd have to make some big moves though. Here’s my opinion:

• Make it cheaper than the DS, and do anything necessary to get it into peoples hands.
• Make more killer games exclusive to Vita, not just ports and mediocre ones. They don’t have to be AAA, just a blast to play.
• Hire the best marketing agency money can buy, and let them do what they do best.
• DROP THE PRICE OF THE STINKING MEMORY CARDS! Yes I went there.
• Drop the price of games. $40 is too much for one handheld game. Not to say that devs shouldn't get paid, but the reality is that the perceived value of portable games is much lower. Console games are only $20 more.
• Gaikai and Sony Mobile can do a lot to help, just make them must-have services, work well, and seamless to use.
• Find out what would make people buy a vita, and do it. Just ask the people that don’t have one why not.
• Bump the Vita much higher up on Sony's important list. Make us believe there’s a bright future for the Vita. Give us time-frames for awesome games, and teaser trailers like a Last Guardian side story RPG exclusive for Vita… You better believe that will get some attention and sales.

That's how I see it anyway.

Not a big deal for the most part, but I get why people want the option to turn it off. Why not just make a simple update that automatically activates the light when certain games need to use it, then off for other times. It already does it when the controller is finished charging.

Its a jarring disconnect, and feels unnecessary. They could have dropped it after the first or second AC. This isn't the Matrix. Whats worse, you can always tell the time and effort was not put into the futuristic sections like the main story. Feels like a totally different, not as experienced team put those parts together.

Yea, they made too much of a jump. She looks completely different. I prefer the first version. It's like when TV networks replace last seasons main actress because she wanted too much money for the next season.

You see the new actress, and think who is that suppose to be... oh I see... wasn't expecting that. Then you get use to them. Look at how many James Bonds there have been.

Nice. I was thinking The Last of Us as soon as I saw the title of the article. For me it hit on all the things I like about gaming... suspense, excitement, action strategy, stealth, lovable characters, surprises, good voice acting, cinematic, third person, good story, good controls, really good graphics, not too long or short, but leaves me wanting to play more, and learn more background about the characters. Ok I'm done.

I'll likely pick it up. Didn't finish playing it on the PS3, then loaned it to a friend who's playing it now. Not my favorite game, but I did enjoy it. Plus there's a hard cover art book included. So you're getting something besides better graphics.

LUV the hedgehog!!!!

@fullyilly

Same here. I prefer 3rd person for certain types of games, or a combo like DeusEx will even due. I want to see the characters moves, and face expressions vs. a set of hands.

We want to loose our minds too... please just tell us already.

Looking forward to it, since i had a good time with the first two. Really hope theres a skin, or outfit change for the main character though. That hat is already bugging me. LOL. Won't effect the game play though, but do we really have to stair at it the whole game, in the middle of summer?

Just checked Amazon, and its $60. Seems reasonable for everything thats included, especially if you didn't finish, or never bought the PS3 version. I might get it, but I'll have some time to think about it first.

Ugh, again with the living room experience. They say it's the greatest thing to date, but if gamers prove otherwise in the real world, doesn't mean much. The PS4 can do voice commands, detect motion, has a camera, all can be improved with updates... but all secondary to good games. Plus every year more of those same type of features are built right into the TV (which Sony has some serious experience with).

I don't think it's really an issue, looking at how many they've sold already. Also looking at the quality and variety of games the PS3 had. I think people realize more of the same is coming for the PS4... but with even better graphics and features. Knowing a new Uncharted, GT7, The Order are coming, just to name a few, is enough for me.

Well I was one who ordered a launch unit, and got a bad one. HDMI issue is not exaggerated. I have to send my PS4 to Sony for repairs (1-2 weeks), because Amazon only gives refunds, no exchanges, and the their sold out everywhere. I'm sure it's an amazing experience/system when it's working. Never had any issues with my PS3. PS4 seems just as solid, minus a few bad ones. Regardless, it's very frustrating.

Love Naughty dog. They always know how to mix things up just enough to keep them fun and interesting. They'll take something conventional and put a new spin on it. Looking forward to seeing how they handle Uncharted 4... with the power of the PS4. Imaging The Last of Us on steroids, with a world that has 2-3 times richer environments. Like combining random materials from anywhere to make unscripted tools and weapons that really work.

I was waiting for this.

Sounds like it could get old quick if you have to do it regularly. We'll just have to try it and see. They may figure out a better solution after a while, but I hope we have the option to turn on auto delete for certain titles. That would help.

I think I see the one I'm getting. lol
