@Gamer83 "I think it's a matter of there simply isn't anything to show."

This is exactly what I've been thinking too. I can just picture the devs at RAD stressing, because they know people are expecting something that they just haven't made.

Frankly, my anticipation for this game is at zero - if it turns out great... Well, then great! But if it turns out crap... Then no big loss.

This was my first Final Fantasy game.

Oh man, the nostalgia... I think I may get this on my Vita right now.

Great review!

I thought we've already explored London, judging by the cockney accents in Unity...

@kupo Yeah, the Wii U had some amazing deals. Keep in mind that official numbers are not out yet, so I'm really only waiting to see what Nintendo itself says. I'm really curious as to how much Smash Bros helped sales.

You know, I'd like to play a wrestling game where you have to be an ACTUAL pro-wrestler. Like, you have to remember your spots, and 'perform' a match according to the script - with grades awarded based on your work rate.

Then, you have to go backstage and shake everyone's hand, before having to play the 'political game' via multi-choice conversations that have you making friends and enemies...

...I thought way too long about this.

Pre order now, and receive the 'On the Road Forever' DLC, which sees you trying to juggle your wrestler's private and professional lives! Drink coffee to stay awake as you travel to the next city at 4am! Take pain pills to dull the nagging injuries that won't go away! Push away smarky fans who call you by your real name (a big no no in this sport)! Engage in Twitter wars with no-name MMA fighters!

Pre order now!!!

I read that the Wii U only mustered 6%. Truly dismal.

Either way, congrats to Microsoft - though I can't help but wonder what kind of (non) profit they made from those Xbox Ones...

@SuperCat I would totally buy that!

"...but if that still seems too far away..."

It does. It really, really does...

Suuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrreee...

Can we at least get a Final Fantasy XII remaster before you throw all your Vita dev kits in a bonfire, Sony?

Pushing boundaries? Doing something new?

Shawn, it's a racing game. Not a revolutionary piece of software. You guys had an extra year to make it, and you STILL screwed it up.

Geez, that was less than I expected. I thought it was going to be something like 10 gig!

All I remember was the fake applause during the Japanese launch...

Excellent review!

Honestly, even 5 seems a little high, IMO.

But still, it's refreshing to see a reviewer actually take the performance of the game into account. It still absolutely sickens me that buggy games like Battlefield 4 and Skyrim got away with high praise.

Now see, THIS is why I respect CD Projekt - and why GOG is my PC platform of choice.

If there'll be any game that will make me buy a PS4 - it'll be Uncharted 4.

I WANT IT NOW.

Dang. I had the opportunity to go to Sydney to cover this event, but I just moved - and now I'm too poor 😢

Ah well. Both those games look incredibly interesting!

I literally snorted in derision upon reading that headline.

The only thing Skyrim changed was my belief that Bethesda actually employed bug testers.

@RawShark - Pretty much took the words out of my mouth.

It's amazing how bad Sony have squandered any goodwill it gained from the PS4's early days. Likewise, it's astonishing to see how much of an improvement Microsoft have made with the Xbox One. Proof - if any - that competition is a good thing!

I think the TV show will need more than zombies. Fortunately, the games are full of gruesome monsters that would look great in live action.

With shows like The Walking Dead and The Strain, Resident Evil's (or Arklay, as it's rumoured to be called) number one priority is to find something that will set itself apart from the others - a unique hook. If they can find that, then everything else will fall into place.

Wait... Fake applause AGAIN?!

Uh... Great? Not much of a difference in my view.

I'd rather fawn over PS4 games that are - y'know - ACTUALLY PS4 games?

Awesome news!

I have both the Wii and Vita versions - this game really deserved to be a success.

I think the major reason why Nintendo was my favourite showing this year, was because it made me feel like a kid again, and reminded me why I love videogames. There was no cynical and drab bullcrap like that found in Ubisoft's and EA's offerings - or the majority of generic, soulless third party games (not counting indies).

But still, Wii U sales is the ultimate goal - no matter how popular they were on social media. There's only so much units Mario Kart 8 can shift. The Wii U needs a steady stream of quality titles; and if third parties won't partake, then Iwata better have a plan B. Maybe indies will fill the role?

This was a great read! Really refreshing not seeing any stupid fanboy BS.

When all is said and done, I liked Nintendo's event the most - though there were definitely PS4 and Xbox One games that interested me greatly. All in all, this was a great E3 for everyone. Hopefully it'll be the same next year!

@Punished_Boss - Unlike the PS Vita. Zing.

On topic; I seriously cannot believe a paid (PAID!) journalist can have such a lack of knowledge on their subject matter. How do these people get hired?

Remember when people blasted Nintendo for finding Wii U development harder than expected?

Yeah.

I am HYPED for this game. Sully better not die. Seriously, ND. Don't do it.

Honestly, I thought this was a pretty dang good video. The games shown may not have been 'AAA'... But really what exactly constitutes AAA in the world of handheld gaming? What only matters is if the games look fun - and these games did indeed look fun. Counter Spy, Mech Runner and Akiba's Trip looked particularly cool. Also, the Vita is getting proven indie hits like Child of Light and Hyper Light Drifter... Pretty cool, as far as I'm concerned.

I thought it was poor. Microsoft's and (especially) Nintendo's showing were better.

Uncharted 4 was the only new reveal that I was hyped for - though I'm still excited for The Order and No Man's Sky.

It was pretty lame how GTA V and the Last of Us ports were considered 'big' games - I mean the games are, what, 12 months old? Even other major titles like Destiny, Batman, Phantom Pain and Mortal Kombat are multiplats - which doesn't exactly scream 'buy the PS4 NOW!!!' - especially considering most of them won't arrive 'till next year.

God Ubisoft. Did you learn NOTHING from Acclaim?

Will definitely be picking this up.

LOL, nice job Ninty.

They took the video down. I guess it was just 'make.believe'.

...I'll go now.

Must be all that fake applause.

@JaxonH - My sentiments exactly.

Pretty much EVERY new console suffers a drought.

@Sutorcen - Amen.

This news is pathetic - just the latest in a long line.

All we hear about is this god-like power of PS4 and Xbox One, yet they can't even do what PCs have been doing for years. Jesus, even Mario Kart 8 is 1080p/60 fps.

Don't get me wrong, I personally don't care about resolutions and such (Christ, I still play Wii and Dreamcast games), but it just annoys me how companies spew continuous BS about how awesome their consoles are; and how game companies provide bullshots and phony alpha-build gameplay vids.

Oh dear. I knew this would happen.

On topic; I've always been curious about this game, but I never took the plunge. Too many other titles to play.

God, now I want to play Last of Us again. Thanks, Push Square!

@Unca_Lz - Yeah, the situation seems eerily reminiscent of Sega in its final days. Indeed, the Dreamcast was actually the fastest selling games console ever during its early days.

Still, Sony is far bigger than Sega, so it has a better chance of bouncing back, IMO. But the company really is on the razor's edge at the moment. It'll be interesting to see how it'll fare in the next few years.

God, I REALLY want to play this.

Nice to see Pachter sticking to his guns.

Moron.

@mitcHELLspawn - Thanks for re-affirming my belief that the internet is full of nitwits. Well done.

@Gemuarto - What?

On topic; what an utterly brilliant, heart-warming story. It's great to see that there are still kids out there who aren't selfish little prigs - but instead are wonderful people. Well done, Hector!

Hope everything is alright over at Naughty Dog. They're one of my favourite developers, and I really can't wait for Uncharted 4.

Actually, I have a strange feeling that Nathan Drake won't be returning - and that the game will focus on a brand new set of characters ala Second Son. Because really, what more is there for Nate to do? Will he be raiding tombs as an old man, with his ever-suffering wife Elena by his side? Will Sully FINALLY die, as we've all been fearing constantly since Uncharted 2?

Frankly, I'm with Gamer83.

How can you seriously sit back and be happy that you paid for a PS4 in order to play PS3 games? Backwards compatibility be damned. Apparently, Sony fans are more than happy to re-buy last-gen games and slightly shinier cross-gen games. This reeks of a company desperate to make a quick buck.

Pachter: "I have it on good authority that Sony likes money."

This is the third time I've seen Shuhei Yoshida be referred to as the "straight talking suit"

Just sayin'.

Sometimes I miss Krazy Ken.

Sometimes.

Good.

Sony's internal studios are some of the best in the world.

I'm currently playing Ground Zeroes, and I'm loving it.

After actually sitting down and playing the thing, it's clear to me that the game isn't a rip-off at all. Yes, the story mode is short, but it also comes with a stack of side-missions and challenges. I'm currently at about 32% completion, with about 10 hours put into it.

REALLY can't wait for Phantom Pain!

I'll stick with the PS3 version,

I hated ACIII, and was on the verge of giving-up the series, but Black Flag was a real breath of fresh (salty) air. It felt as though Ubisoft rediscovered it sense of fun when making the game.

It also helped that I no longer obsessed about getting 100% sync with all missions - which made it much less stressful to play!
