@eLarkos I think it'll help the Vita. Not only would you have Vita games and PS4 games via remote play, but you now have access to PS1, PS2, PSP(?) and PS3 games - that's basically 6 consoles for the price of 1.
The dlc is reportedly going to be titled "a cold heart" or "heart of ice" (I can't remember). Either way, it sounds like it'll pertain to Mr. Freeze's most popular origin story.
@Gamer83 I'm not so sure about Sunset Overdrive. I mentioned DriveClub because I hear it being talked about a lot, but next to no one talks about Sunset Overdrive - I actually forgot it existed until you mentioned it.
@charlesnarles @RyoHazuki Yeah, the only noteworthy Xbone exclusives coming up are Halo and Titanfall. While the PS4 has - and I'm counting Japan too - Yakuza Ishin, Second Son, The Order: 1886, Uncharted, DriveClub and whatever Media Molecule and Santa Monica are working on.
@RyoHazuki After all the people I saw trying to defend Microsoft's DRM policies, I'd say pigheadedness and blind loyalty is in full swing.
That said, after everything the PS3 offered, people know what to expect from Sony's first party studios. I'm thinking that's why the PS4 is doing so phenomenally despite it having less launch exclusives than the 'bone.
With the Vita and Vita TV, Sony has everything it needs to use Gaikai to the fullest. I'd be in heaven if I can play Dragonball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Kinetica on my Vita.
Sony is really starting this gen off right and I have a feeling they'll continue surprising us.
The beta will go live when the PS4 launches in Japan, so we should get a lot more detailed info then, if not sooner. Out of all the F2P titles announced, Planetside 2, Deep Down and Onigiri (though I'm not sure it's leaving Japan) have me the most excited, so I'm expecting big things.
Favorite games are The Last of Us, followed closely by Puppeteer. I guess GTA would come next, but I still need to play more of Tomb Raider before I can truly decide.
No one thought it was weird that Ellie stole a gay porn magazine from him? Then there was something Frank wrote in his suicide letter that should have made his and Bill's relationship clear as day.
Quite frankly, the only complaint I have is about the Vita. We know Sony is good when it comes to exclusives, their marketing his been fairly exceptional and 3rd parties are back in their corner.
That brings me to the Vita. While Sony is good for exclusives, they don't seem to be putting their weight behind the Vita. Instead, they seem content with letting Japan Studio do all the heavy lifting.
It doesn't take a genius to predict that the PS4 will surpass the Wii U soon. Man, even when he's not talking out of his a** he's annoying.
The Wii U doesn't really have much in the pipeline that can move units other than Smash Bros and possibly Bayonetta 2 & Mario Kart, though I've never seen Mario Kart as a system seller (but that's just me).
@RyoHazuki What Sony should do is make an Uncharted collection for Vita and PS4. Uncharted fits the Vita like a glove and the PS4 deserves it after all the collections the PS3 got.
The only collections the PS3 doesn't have his Uncharted and LittleBigPlanet. And now that I'm thinking about it, why is there no Parappa the Rapper for the Vita? Even an HD re-release would suffice.
I don't really understand the "Dude Raider" thing (also it sounds like gay porn), up until the reboot I never saw many similarities between Tomb Raider and Uncharted. Indiana Jones? Yes, but not Tomb Raider.
@Itachi People have been doing that a lot. IGN goes on about how the Xbone can use the "infinite power of the cloud", but completely forget about Gaikai. People make a big deal about the Xbone's voice controls, but seem to forget that the PS4 has the same features.
@Itachi I used to like the Xbox once, but then the 360 changed all that. All these years and Microsoft still hasn't released an exclusive that even partially interests me, yet I still managed to obtain a 360 - I didn't pay for it, of course.
I'm with you on their policies, I wasn't interested in the Xbox brand after the 360, but all that DRM nonsense pissed me off. Especially when people actually defended Microsoft for it. This is supposed to be the land of the free, yet so many people were ready and willing to throw their consumer rights away.
While I don't mind cameras, what I do mind is products being forced on people like Microsoft is doing with the Kinect. They keep going on about how "it's an integral part of the console" or what, yet they haven't shown anything that makes its inclusion seem worth it.
@Itachi They decided to remove the camera from the sku and drop the price prior to E3, which is what I'm constantly trying to hammer into the heads of Xbots whenever they say Sony made the decision after Microsoft revealed the 'bones price.
And I agree, I have no doubt that the PS4 would still be doing well even if Sony hadn't removed the camera. If they kept the camera in, they'd be seeing a $40 profit for each system, plus another $60-$120 for PlayStation Camera and/or DualShock 4 sales - which would put them in a very good position.
@HandandInternet I agree, Microsoft seems to have prioritized multimedia and put gaming second, while it looks like Sony thought about both equally.
Everytime I go to Walmart, I always head over to the electronics section (to drool over the Vitas and reassure one of them that they will be mine) I always see a ton of Xbones, but never any PS4's. Of course, if you ask a certain fanboy, it's because "Microsoft cares enough to keep them in stock".
I just recently bought Tomb Raider, so I don't see myself buying the definitive version anytime soon, though the voice control features sound like they'd come in handy.
If Naughty Dog were to give The Last of Us similar treatment, Wally West would be envious of the speed at which I gave them my money.
Final Fantasy X was the last Final Fantasy I ever played and I loved it, so this is definitely on my radar. I'll be picking up the Vita version since I want to be able to enjoy it any and everywhere.
Hey look, the first 3 games I plan on buying for my Vita in February. Seriously though, the Vita has tons of games that I want to play, so between it and my PS4, my social life is screwed - especially when Soul Sacrifice Delta and Freedom Wars arrive on the scene.
I don't have internet, so I couldn't even take advantage of this deal, but this really rustles my jimmies. Europe always seems to get all the good stuff, while the Americans get any scraps that are left over. Is a little equal treatment too much to ask?
The Last of Us gets my vote, the part where you get to play as Ellie and fight what's-his-name and his group of hunters. I can't believe this was left out.

Re: Pachter: PS4 Will Surpass Wii U Sales Globally by Spring

Re: PlayStation Home Developer Dreaming Up Ambitious PS4 Exclusive
I liked PlayStation Home. Yeah it took some time to load, but once I was there, I met a lot of cool people and did a lot of bowling.
I think it should be brought over to one of the PS4's cloud servers, it seems like something that would really benefit from it.

Re: Game of the Year: Best PlayStation 3 Games of 2013
