You know what the worst thing about the PS4? You put in the disc & proceed to play a mediocre, disappointing game unless it's a remaster of ........wait for it........a PS3 game.

@Tasuki

Your point makes no sense towards the argument here. Driveclub didn't get cancelled. They lied about a free version they were offering & using to try to sell systems & get people to sign up for PlayStation Plus. That's not even close to the same thing as Blizzard cancelling a game.

IGN says that the guy who was interviewed wouldn't commit to the PS+ version coming at all. Ever. In fact, the whole tone of the same news was completely different on that site & others.

This site, which is filled with Driveclub apologists for some reason, will obviously paint this news in a different light, which may not be entirely accurate.

Either way, it sounds like the chances of this game coming to PS+ are slim......at best.

I do feel that Metacritic works as intended as long as you ignore the ridiculously stupid user scores. Sure I think games like GTA, The Last Of Us, Journey, Braid, etc. are overrated on there, but they aren't bad games so I don't get upset if I find a game that I end up trading in even though it got a '94' on that site.

On the flip side, I just played Killzone Mercenary & thought it was great, even though it only got a score in the 70's.

Using reviews as a base guide can be very helpful. Where it gets tricky can be in the 65-80 (Metacritic score) range, but that's where reading actual details in the reviews can be beneficial. Either way, I think written (I hate video) reviews are important. Videogames aren't cheap, so it's nice to have a guide.

And don't listen to Sammy.........written reviews aren't going anywhere for a long time.

@sinalefa

I completely agree. I check out many reviews for a game before purchasing. Like you said, I look for common complaints or patterns. And I would NEVER pre-order a game these days. That's just stupid at this point. So I usually always end up playing quality games.

I am just shocked Sony is acknowledging the Vita exists.

@Ristar42

Same here. It was one of my Atari staples. Very fun game back in the day.

I was a fan of Q*bert as a kid. Any idea if the Vita version works on PSTV? I heard it doesn't, but that sounded weird to me.

Can they release an update that makes sure their PS4 exclusives don't massively disappoint anymore or in the future?

@ToddlerNaruto

Yea I agree. It's become tough to find Heavenly Sword for the PS3, if you don't get it used. And even then, it may not be in great condition. And like you said, it's not available digitally on PSN.

I am really looking forward to this game. Ninja Theory rules even though they never gave Heavenly Sword a trophy patch.

Music games died for a reason. Let them rest in peace.

Yea since he tried to CHEAT, I don't feel sorry for him one bit.

Well, Sony drops the ball on.......yet another.......exclusive. This is actually starting to get worrisome, even though Xbox One isn't exactly doing much in exclusives either.

I really wanted this game to be great, as I love single-player, story driven games. I will still give it a rent & hope for the best. Looking at the Metacritic scores, if you take out the ridiculous, click-bait '20' Digital Trends gave it, then it seems the general consensous is about a 6-7 out of 10. Not bad, but certainly sounds like a rental to me.

I have PS TV and love it. It was very cheap & enabled me to fall in love with Persona 4 on my big screen. Also, Killzone Mercenary is great.

I got Muramasa, Ninja Gaiden, & Final Fantasy X HD waiting. I hate handhelds, so this was a great purchase for me. I am upset that Sony isn't patching more games for it (especially Uncharted: GA), but I got my money's worth on Killzone & 80+ hrs (and counting) of Persona 4 alone.

@CanisWolfred

I ask because it was supposed to be on Vita too. Weird. Maybe they canceled the Vita version.

Isn't this on Vita?

@arnoldlayne83

And if every "software house do like Evolution" the industry would shut down because games wouldn't work for weeks after purchasing them.

Um, the only worthy "Power Of Love" song was by a 80's musical genius known as Huey Lewis. Lol.

@tonyp1987

Wow!!! Yea ya do!!! Does your gf have a sister? Lol.

Well done. Great article.

Also, I got dibs on Jill Valentine. I've had a thing for her since the 90's & she made the bleh RE: Revelations worth playing. 3 words: Wet. Suits. Rule.

@professorhat

Oh I get it & "am there". I just think your point is idiotic & has very little, if any, relevence here. But, as someone pointed out earlier, apparently that's the norm with you.

And yes, this probably is a waste of our time. I am sure you have many other articles to start up pointless arguments in. By all means, move on to those.

@Kohaku

I agree. I don't mind the occasional retro looking game, but there are way too many now.

But developers are jumping on that retro indie bandwagon because hipster douchebags like Phil Fish (just one example) hate modern, AAA gaming so they try to make a game that is "old school". At the same time, making an 8-bit game in 2015 & charging you $15 for it is ok? They are hipocrites & most weren't even alive or old enough to really remember gaming on the NES.

I am with you. Why not make a game that feels like a classic game, but with current-gen graphics? Indie developers may argue that they don't have the budget or time for that. I would then argue that maybe they go do something else for a living because others have done it. Why can't they? Either way, they won't get my money.

@professorhat

Comparing chopping down rain forests, etc. to lousy, buggy video games? Maybe you should just not.......speak......about this subject anymore.

@Fenriswolf-

Well, thanks for the heads-up. I am waiting for Gran Turismo, if I get any racing game at all. For some reason, racing games just don't appeal to me like they used to. I do enjoy Mario Kart, though.

@professorhat

Oh yea, those damn principles. Heaven forbid those annoying things get in the way when I spend my money. (rolls eyes)

@Gamer83

I couldn't have said it better myself. I only want good games, indie or AAA. I don't care.

But yea, when I read a review of an indie game at this site, I instantly drop it down a number (at least) due to the reviewers here giving almost every indie game the usual '8' or higher.

@professorhat

Who are you arguing with? There is nobody here knocking indie games.

(Takes away your soapbox)

@professorhat

Yea posting a pointless, argumentative comment.......what a fulfilling life you must have.

And I made the comment twice because this website did the act in question twice. If you don't like it, I don't care.

@Farmboy74

Yep, I am never going to pre-order anything again. Like you said, wait for the reviews & judge from those.

Once again, did this topic really need 2 articles, back-to-back? You couldn't have just put this information in the first article? Wow.

They're still making Final Fantasy games?

@glassmusic

Exactly. As I have said in the comment sections of many other related articles at this site (and gotten attacked for it), there is no way in @%`# I am ever going to support this game.

Sony & Evolution's handling of this game & their flat-out lies have been disgraceful. Supporting this type of behavior just sends the wrong message. And other than fanyboys in the comment sections at this website (who blindly defend this game, for some reason), I have not seen any articles anywhere even talking about this game anymore.

Just Cause series.........a B-movie version of GTA on an island.

I kinda liked JC2 in a way that you rent it from Gamefly, beat it, send it back, & never play it again. I don't regret the time spent, but it didn't get me excited for a 3rd entry.

I love twin stick shooters, so I am keeping an eye on this one.

Did we really need 2 seperate article links for this and the actual interview with Disco Pixel?

Also, how many "let's bait the readers into another Indies rule/Indies suck argument" types of articles do we need at this site?

Ubisoft cost themselves a decent amount of my money.

I played the original Assassin's Creed on Xbox 360. Thought it was decent, but heavily flawed (WAY too repetitious & awful combat), and never went back to the series. But since I heard AC2 was amazing, I was going to give the series another shot.

However, with Ubisoft releasing this series yearly (never a good idea) & this fiasco with Unity, I am not going to bother supporting this series. I had the Ezio Trilogy in my backlog, but it's never going to be played by me.

Too many games out there to play to be bothered with companies that knowingly releasing buggy garbage to consumers.

This is a disgrace, as this content was clearly pulled from the main game. I will not be supporting this trash.

I actually like it when sales are close. It keeps both companies trying. Both these companies have shown greed, laziness, & pure stupidity in the past when they were way out in front, so it's better for us gamers if it remains a tight race.

Some other developer needs to pick up the Resistance series & get it going again.

Insomniac has said they are done with it. Sony Bend has, obviously, moved on. And the less said about Nihilistic (sp?), the better.

How about Guerilla Cambridge? I thought they did a great job with Killzone: Mercenary on Vita. They should get a shot to bring this series to PS4.

Yea how many games is Telltale working on right now?!! This is getting ridiculous.

Making a story based, point & click adventure game based on Minecraft = jumping the shark.

@Flurpsel

Exactly. Never, ever, ever buy a game day 1 anymore. I couldn't agree more. And especially one from Techland. You're just asking for bugs at that point. Lol.

@AFCC

Not too long ago, I was like you. I had never played a Persona game before. Then my PS3 blu-ray drive died, so I traded in my disc games & got a PS TV. One of the reasons, was to play Persona 4 Golden on my TV because I heard it was amazing but I was always put off by the anime look of the art.

Since then, I no longer sleep much & I basically go to work & play Persona 4. It's that good. It took awhile to get past the VERY Japanese look & style of the game, but once I did........wow. Now I want Persona 5. Badly.

So, in other words, go get Persona 4.

I am so trying to fight the urge to get this for PS3/Vita/PS TV so I can play this on PS4, like it was meant to be played. This DLC not coming to other consoles helps to fight that urge.

But, obviously, I can see why people would want it.

As long as this is more like Tools Of Destruction, Crack In Time, or their PS2 type of stuff........great.

If this is more crap like All 4 One or Full Frontal Assault, they can crawl back to Micrsoft for all I care.

And give us another Resistance game already!

@NomNom

Exactly.

I love my PlayStations, but Sony sucks at that thing called......the internet.

This game better not suck. Seriously. This is, arguably, the most important exclusive of the PS4's early lifespan. I really hope this is great.

We don't need a repeat of the PS3 over-hyped turds Lair & Haze.

None of the games mentioned besides Shovel Knight really interest me.

I am more intetested in Bastion, The Banner Saga, Hand Of Fate, & Rainbow Skies.

Techland releases another buggy mess of a game, but it's good to see free DLC for people.

Makes the developer of Evolve & their $80 worth of Day 1 DLC pulled from the main game look foolish.

3 GB patch on day 1? Wow. These companies are terrible about this now.

How about ya finish the game BEFORE you put it on sale? Ugh. Morons. Seriously, this game not working &/or huge day 1 patch crap is getting real old, real fast

Super Stardust is still, arguably, the best PSN game out there.
