@get2sammyb If only "early next year" ever was that. Typically "early next year" means holiday of the following year. No way this and all the other delayed games are coming q1 or 2 of 2015. They'll end up holiday releases of 15 or 16. The release schedule every year is horribly unbalanced.
@DHW me too! I read this headline and thought that is quite a bombshell not to have hyped for the vita. Alas, it's just the physical ps3 version of minecraft.
I'm really disappointed in the Vita at this point. The lack of new software is embarrassing and I have purchased and played through everything worth playing. I didn't invest in a $250 system and a $100 memory card to play indie games. I was sold on portable fps and uncharted. I've actually went and bought a 3ds. The Vita is collecting dust now, which makes me very sad. At least there is Borderlands to look forward to.
Super excited for skulls of the shogun. I am a big real time strategy and wutang clan fan. This is a RTS developed with and scored by the wu tang clan. It was a shame it was relegated to windows.
@ShogunRok Thanks for the clarification. Although, Sucker Punche's plan for future updates will hopefully continue to flesh out virtual-Seattle. I look forward to giving this a whirl tonight after work.
@get2sammyb The reviews I have read (including this one), lament the amount of content in the side missions. It was just announced that thee day one patch for Second Son will provide 3 additional hours of side mission content, with additional content to be added for free on a regular basis. I think this is likely to help combat the used market as people cannot trade the game in once they are done if they want to see what happens with the additional content, but I think that is what has hurt the game's metascore.
I think it is a bad move on Sony's part. They have been doing very well with ps4 due to the good press surrounding the console. This is especially bad timing combined with the release of titanfall.
@banacheck Most definitely. The general consensus was the game looked rough leading up to the PS4 launch. Everyone kept saying this particular studio worked in a way that allowed them to make the whole game then add polish later, but there was concern in all the previews leading up to the original release date. Apparently the concern turned to reality and they couldn't pull off what they envisioned in time.
I love the positive title of this article. The ign headline for their version of this article reads "Sony's 'gone back to the drawing-board'". The article gives the impression the game is delayed further.
@RyoHazuki Perhaps they are clearing the release schedule to make way for a ps4 port of Gran Turismo 6. They did say that was on its way sooner rather than later.
I would like to think this extra time means extra polish. Sometimes extra time means something is fundamentally wrong with the game(see duke nukem, prey, etc.....). This is a Sony owned studio though, so I am inclined to think polish, polish and more polish.
Wow, Jack Tretton is one of the few suits out there I can say I really admired. I hope he is going to another awesome job (watch out Reggie fils-aime!).
Remote play doesn't replace native vita games. Even with 30mbps WiFi on both ends it lags and freezes. I hope that is not Sony's new view that they can pass on vita ports due to remote play.
@get2sammyb I've heard a lot of rumors that this game was a mess. I'm surprised its releasing so soon. Supposedly they were having trouble with the development. Any word on that?
@Gamer83 I agree, I think the concept would be an awesome new IP, but I doubt need for speed will ever go away, I've been playing it since the 90's. I was thinking more along the lines of what Ubisoft has been doing lately. They have a core team working in a project until the final stages of development then they bring in all their other studios to add to the final product. That is why splinter cell felt kind of assassins-creedy, and why assassins creed now has boats. Its smart to leverage all of your talents and not just have "the fps guys" and "the racing guys".
This could be some sort of need for speed/ battlefield hybrid. Imagine if u could get out of your car in NFS rivals and have a battlefield worthy shootout with the racer you were just chasing. That sounds amazing.
@get2sammyb I don't know, the police theme could open up very interesting multiplayer scenarios. I would hope they continue to support bf4 in tandem with whatever they produce this year.
@get2sammyb I was actually going to wait for this patch to come to play outlast. That game looks super spooky, and surround sound will make it all the more terrifying. I can't wait.
I played this quite a bit and loved it. Its like a top-down-paper-craft-tim burton-evil mincraft. I found a village of pig people to hang out with and start a wooden fort!
Outside of the initial server issues around launch I have no t had any issues with this game. This has been the most enjoyable multiplayer FPS I've ever played.
I bought a 32 GB shortly after launch and it is full. I can't wait for the 64 to come stateside as I plan on buying that too. The price is agrivating, but when compared to apples price structure(an extra $300 for a 64 GB iPhone vs the 16gb model) its not that bad. That is what blows my mind, people have no problem shelling out rediculous amounts of cash for anything with an apple on the back, but say the vita/PSP/ps4 etc.. are too expensive.
I am super excited for drive club. However, if it had been there at launch I probably would have skipped need for speed rivals and that would have been unfortunate. Rivals may be my favorite Ps4 game right now.
@Strofan7 I'm with you. I tried playing warframe and DCU and I feel like you don't know what the rules are. Am I not progressing because I'm not good enough, or because I need to buy something? In my opinion it breaks the game.
I signed up for the beta yesterday so hopefully I can get some hands on before buying. However, I'll try it out at least for the first month if its less than $10. Knowing Sony they will most likely do a free trial after launch.
I thought Deep Down had the most impressive trailer of all the games shown at the PlayStation meeting last February. I don't know how I feel about free to play yet though. I just hope Capcom doesn't mess it up, their track record hasn't been the greatest as of late.
That works for me. I luckily missed the ps3 version, although I loved the first borderlands. Cannot wait to get the Vita version. More vita fps please.
I bought tearaway day one. It's awesome. However, I often feel like I am wasting money when months go by with ps+ giving away only games I already bought. So I can see where that could be a real problem for sony when it comes to gamers with a little more patience. At least sony is pulling down $50 a year for ps+.
@get2sammyb I also noticed the battery life of the dual shock 4 is poor. I attributed this to the fact that all my chat audio was routed through the ds4 as my pulse headset isn't compatible yet. I wouldn't think an LED light would be to harsh on the battery. Still, I do miss the ds3 battery life. I keep one ds4 on charge while I play with the other.
@ShogunRok they did this with the 360. Microsoft had a policy in place ensuring cross platform games had to run equal too or better than "other consoles" aka ps3. They play dirty.
@charlesnarles For sure, I'm a big tactical shooter fan and you don't get much of that these days. Ghost recon advanced warfighter was one of my first favorites last gen. I tend to be a fan of most of ubisoft's games- varied as they are.
The more online the merrier! I know a bunch of my friends that used to be xb360 guys have converted, so I am happy to have most of my friends on one console! As long as Sony keeps making ps4s leading up to Christmas they will keep selling out.
@get2sammyb FYI- they have been sold out in North America but apparently got a second wave for Black Friday. Standing in line right now to get my brother one. Viva ps4!!!!!
