@get2sammyb Hey, not everyone knows that, including journalists. We all know research is last on the priority list behind clickbait

Every time i see a battlefield or COD game get a 9, i remember the horrible launches of BF 3 and 4, how we'd have a full group for COD for less than 3 weeks before everyone went back to their regular rotation, and how it never felt like the $120 was justified. Gonna skip all of them this year. I've lived through no overwatch, i'll live a bit richer without these.

After seeing the franchises he's screwed up already with bad ideas and forced bad control schemes for the sake of his own innovation(gimmick) , i really hope miyamoto doesn't get his hands on VR.

Rise of the tomb raider, gears 4, and deus ex mankind divided while i wait for my new PC parts to come in. Already sold my old parts and it paid for more than half of the new ones! Skylake here i come.

Flash sale going on in the US too. Some decent games, little bit of everything.

@JaxonH After having just finished both games within a week of each other, i wholeheartedly agree with you. Uncharted without a doubt has the edge in terms of story, voice talent, and graphics, but it barely felt like a game. ROTR has fantastic combat, large hubs with reasons to explore, and a great upgrade/crafting system. I'll never forget the UC series for their story, and superb graphics, but i'll also never play them again, while i can see myself going through ROTR a few times at least.

$500 on a set of goggles in it's early adopter tech phase, first gen, limited games, or a new cpu, motherboard, and RAM for my 5 year old PC? Gee, i wonder which i'm going with?

@Flaming_Kaiser If they fix the issues i had with the first one, then i have no problem dropping $20 to get what most will be paying $80 for, while they patch the game and work things out. I'm perfectly fine waiting to see if it gets better over time.

I was excited for this, but then i remembered i haven't even finished the first one because of it's boring combat and horrible RNG for mission rewards. I feel like i can wait a year for a bandai namco steam sale like we just had last weekend and save $40.

@GraveLordXD Wow, i thought DQB would only be $40. $60 for a minecraft ripoff with one button combat is way too steep.

There's a lot that this game does that would've been welcome in UC a long time ago. Combat is better in every aspect, from the AI to your options of how to tackle every situation. The metroidvania style maps give you a reason to go back and explore....oh it's not linear, either. Needless to say, if you go in expecting a story heavy, linear cover shooter like uncharted, this isn't what you're going to get.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi Did you play DAI? Giant, empty maps, tons of grinding, useless AI partners, tedious UI, a terrible inventory and crafting system, and ubisoft level fetch/kill quests...you really want another one of those?

As someone said in a previous article, take whatever date they give you and add 6 months to it.

Played the demo and enjoyed it for what it was. I do get the feeling that it would wear out it's welcome after getting everything reset a few times. Maybe i'll pick up it's eventual sequel in a year or so when they flesh out some actual combat mechanics and a deeper progression system.

@sinalefa Except rjejr doesn't even own a PS4, probably never will, and is a 50 year old using emoticons.

Looks like i picked the right time to let my sub lapse, seeing as how i picked up RE in the capcom humble bundle, and i'm really not interested in another ho-hum button masher from platinum.

@get2sammyb I think you guys are pretty safe wih publishers as long as you don't pull a kotaku.

Considering i can't get mafia 2 to run properly on a decent pc so i could finish it up before getting this one....i'm perfectly happy sitting this one out until it goes on sale and gets a few month's worth of patches and fixes under it's belt. The commercials aren't doing it any favors either, it looks horribly outdated by current gen standards.

@Jackrov Boy did you pick the wrong place to diss Sony and the PRO. Sammy is a true PS veteran! You're insulting his basic rights as a human being by stating your displeasure with Sony! In all seriousness though, you don't need a pro if you don't have a 4K TV. There won't be enough differences at 1080 to justify the price, and honestly, a few extra frames on some games won't make the world fall apart. Just enjoy what you have, and watch everyone else vigorously defend their purchase while knowing they probably wasted their money.

@Grawlog There are ways to properly implement matchmaking for randoms and make it enjoyable, it's been done already in several MMOs. It works in WoW, it works in Rift, Old Republic, etc. Sorry you guys can't wrap your brains around the idea that bungie is lazy, and are putting out junk to fund Destiny 2.

@BAMozzy lol keep telling yourself they require "timing and coordination", you're over complicating raids that people beat within minutes of release. How am i supposed to learn the raids if i never get in? You telling me they couldn't create a separate matchmaking pool, and give out lower gear, but still allow everyone the opportunity to at least experience the raid? That's them being lazy, not me pal. You sound like a grade A a**hat, the type of toxic perso that shames people who aren't as leet as you. Sounds like you have some issues you need to work out.

Ugh, i need to hurry up and beat the first one now. Well, i guess hurrying isn't needed, seeimg as how i was able to get the complete game for under $20 recently.

@stevejcrow It's a terrible way to have the game set up, and every other AAA MMO available has ways to access end game raids and content with in game systems, not requiring a website, or even friends. Bungie is stubborn, and they claim their raids are "too difficult" to be completed by a pug group, and everyone knows that's simply not true. As long as they continue to ignore those of us who won't resort to third party matchmaking, i'll continue to ignore their laziness.

I think the only way i would even consider buying into destiny again would be raid and nightstrike matchmaking. The truth is, of my dozen or so friends that play destiny, none of them have ever been on in a group to do one of those. I've never done one. I refuse to resorting to a matchmaking website. It should be built into the game. I'm being denied end game content because my friends have different work schedules than me, and i'm not paying for that anymore.

I've gotten to the point in my life where i enjoy a challenge, and usually start a game on a higher difficulty, but i'm not ashamed to turn it down if i get frustrated. Dying light was a big one for me, as i wanted to enjoy the increased xp and loot on hard, but couldn't stand the way the mechanics would "sometimes" work, and cause several cheap deaths.

The antiquated gameplay has been surpassed....there are now games where you can actually press one, maybe even TWO buttons! I'd rather pay $20 to watch someone fart in Kojima's mouth.

For a normal, non 100 hour+ game with a huge amount of content that doesn't include two lengthy expansions made by a large AAA company, they absolutely can spare the manpower. Everyone seems to forget CDPR made a high quality game, but they are not a large company like, say ND or EA. And to be honest, I find digital foundry to simplify things to an obsurd degree at times, so I'll take their statement with a bucket of salt, especially considering they create zero games themselves.

@get2sammyb Honestly, anything above what you're getting on PS4 as it stands is strictly eye candy and bragging rights on PC. Everyone was happy with games being locked at 30 fps on PS4 until they found out there was a slight possibility to raise it. If the pro truly does what Sony claims by helping to steady framerates even without a patch, I'd say just be thankful for that.

@Bad-MuthaAdebisi They've shown us, the customers, more good will and support in the past few years with their games than any other company, period. I am not one to jump to the defense of just any company, but you're 100% wrong in this case. Take the donkey you rode in on back to the SALT mines and sincerely, plough yourself.

Good. I'd rather see them focus on Cyberpunk. If you want a smoother framerate on Witcher 3, don't blow 400 bucks on Pro, work on upgrading your pc. I've played it on both systems and pound for pound, even on medium settings on PC, it is much more optimized than it's PS4 counterpart.

2018 will be the first complete wipe of the game and gameplay when he realizes it's not edgy or niche enough.

Obviously after all the time, money, and research was spent on the engine, it would make sense to squeeze some more capital out of it. If anything to gain back a portion of the millions kojima wasted on...whatever it is he did when he remade MGSV a few times.

Unfortunately work this weekend, so not much. I've been picking away at uncharted 4 and ori and the blind forest the past few days, so I'll probably keep doing that.

I think that in place of the UHD drive, they should've at least included a 2TB drive, even if it would've driven the price up another $50, or could be an optional model. If "the way of the future" is digital, 1TB fills up quickly.

@ShogunRok Sounds like you're complaining that you get to play games sent to you for free and make money by writing about your experiences. Yeah you've got it rough.

Talk about damage control. It's ok to say they made an uggo. I doubt sony will take away your cookie. Just accept it and be thankful it's not ugly AND ginormous like the 1st batch of PS3s.

@rjejr You'll never buy a PS4, quit lying to yourself.

Just think, only 5 more years until he doesn't meet his first 6 deadlines, wastes millions, and sony sends him packing.

Is that the release date for the first delay, or the "tentative" release date which will be delayed two weeks before release because they didn't do enough QA?

@adf86 When a game has been in development as long as this one, there shouldn't BE anymore delays. If most companies spent a quarter of their marketing budget on actual QA, this wouldn't be an issue.

That's a lot of money for the possibility that a game might run better, if the devs decide to create a patch for it.

I'd be more than willing to bet it has something to do with a security flaw in the OS, or that people would install mods that would melt the already hot and loud PS4s. MS gets away with it because they actually built in a decent cooling system,which can handle higher temps.

I hope whoever buys kotaku just throws the whole site into the dumpster. Every single person working for gawker needs to be doing something other than what they consider "journalism"

The only thing MS, Sony, and nintendo have taught me in the past 6 months is that my decision to stop buying consoles after this gen and focus on my gaming pc was 100% the correct move. I just don't have the time, money, or patience to see which of these half measures and underwhelming gimmicks actually pan out to something worth buying. I'd say I'd miss the exclusives, but uncharted 4, ratchet and clank, and halo 5 sit on my shelf, unfinished and collecting dust.

@Tasuki Do you get some sort of pleasure threatening bans on this site? We get it, you're the internet tough guy here.

@ShogunRok Or, you could quit posting rumors and wait for facts. Then again, based on the rubbish that I've seen in the past 3 days, if you weren't posting rumors, you really wouldn't be posting ANYTHING worth reading.
Oh, and they're using old AMD tech, no doubts in my mind it will be loud, and cause overheating issues. The only way to combat that is to build a console the size of an old VCR like they did with X1.

@rjejr My God just cancel your preorder, you don't even own a system to play it on. You're a 50 year old acting like a tween on the internet. Turn your phone and computer off, it's embarassing at this point.

If i was sony at this point, I would accept it as free press and move on. It would be one thing if it was a bad slim (it is god awful ugly) but it seems as though people are happy with it. Consider it a final beta.

Why is this so hard to follow? EA said months ago they weren't remastering anything, period. One guy says he's "looking into" the POSSIBILITY of a remaster. Nowhere has anyone even close to stated it was going to happen. It would be a bad move anyways, giving people the opportunity to play what eventually became a bigger disaster from Casey Hudson's lies than anything the no man's sky drama has been about.

Sweet, the final straw that decided it's time to let my sub lapse for awhile. One day, my children will inherit my PSN account. I don't want them seeing "games"like journey on there.
