I'm disappointed. The battles in FFXV were easy if you just held attack and occasionally pressed a teammate command. I always preferred turn based, it has a lot more strategy to it.
I wonder if she's going to get impaled on spikes and have to pick up from about a minute before just for the same thing to happen again.
I really hope they stick with the 'darkness' of the new games, all the hanging corpses and little shrines everywhere made it feel like the odds were really against Lara.
I wasn't sure about the episodic release when they announced it but they have pulled it off spectacularly. Each level is so full of things to do they last a fairly long time just to finish, to get all the challenges is a huge task. The new Professional mode is fantastic too.
I was really looking forward to trying some mods for those games that my PC can't run like Fallout 4, I know how much fun the mods for 3 and NV are and how much extra playtime they add. This sucks. Bad move, Sony.
@leucocyte its not like 60fps is impossible on current hardware, I'm just hoping it gets some attention. Games dropping below 30 kills me, on one Fallout patch it ran at about 15 and I had to quit.
I'm probably not buying one though. Like you say, theres the TV to consider, mine is about 10 years old now but its solid enough for what I want, so if my current PS dies I'll upgrade to the next one and try to invest in a TV good enough to warrant the console.
@get2sammyb its still disappointing to me. After playing a few of the games that have pushed for 60fps, like Infamous did, its just a way smoother experience. Hitman too, you can lock it to 30 or let it go as high as it can with much more notable drops, I'd like to see more devs do it that way.
Its the one thing I was looking out for watching the stream.
I'd be pleased if I hadn't already bought both of them. Lords of the Fallen is quite good for what it is and Journey could be considered a masterpiece.
I was a bit bored the other day and started playing AC2 on a whim. Just went out and bought Revelations back after selling it. If its the right price, I'd definitely consider them for the PS4, I could platinum them all again!
@ricklongo they could well be, it didn't even cross my mind. There goes the profit I thought they'd have made. Oh well. I still imagine there'll be another Playstation after this one, they're doing so well out of the PS4.
The cost of making a console probably isn't all that much of a problem when you've sold almost 36 million units in a little over 2 years. I wonder what the exact sales will be when it goes off sale? 50? 60? The amount of cash they will have made at the end will be staggering.
Well, I don't need to have it but it would definitely be a nice thing to have. Seems stupid that Sony would flat out refuse it. Maybe have a poll of the actual users and see if we do want it or not.
I'll be tempted if its around a tenner extra, any more and I probably won't. Its a big few months for games so they'll have to be smart with the price.
I just scrolled through to see whether 'Get Junior' was going to be fixed and I'm very pleased it is. I recently returned to the Witcher after playing Batman for a while and instantly hit a brick wall on the first quest I tried. Good to know I'll get through it soon.
If Silent Hills did happen and there was a Psycho Mantis-esque part, that would be the precise moment I turned off and never played it again. That was weird in MGS, I can't imagine what is possible with it in horror.
I think this has turned me right off buying on release. Sounds like an early access game and I am not buying into that crap on my console as well as Steam, I was burned on Spacebase and I will not be burned again.
If it turns out to be true, its a stupid move. Uncharted will release months earlier and no doubt blow everyone away, then Tomb Raider will fall flat. I was a big fan of the old Tomb Raiders and I've always been a PS user, disappointing that they decided to screw us over after so long.
It's not enough for me to swap out my launch model for one but if mine breaks, I won't be too upset having to upgrade. I do like the shiny hard drive cover though.
I'm devastated that this won't be going ahead, at least without a major intervention by some person/company which would later make them a legend. P.T. was one of the greatest things I've ever played and I'm not a horror fan at all, the tension they managed to keep throughout was incredible.
I bought BF4 for the PS4 launch and didnt have all that many problems with it, just some latency which is probably down to my internet speed. I'm also playing the Hardline beta now and loving it, hopefully this will be an odd title being only a year since the last one. Seems stupid to expect people to buy a new one when the last DLC probably wont even be out for BF4. That being said, BF is my go-to online game so I can see myself being gullible.
@BL_Donth I'm really hoping for an upgrade price, the game was brilliant and I loved every minute of it but I just cant justify paying full price when the game is still on my shelf.
This really disappoints me, I bought a Vita day one and its now essentially an indie and youtube player. I'd love some great new games but that seems to been fading by the day.
I only want one feature and that is the ability to pause downloads. My internet speed is atrocious, hovering somewhere around 1.5mb/s, so when 3 patches pop up at once, as they did yesterday, a 40mb update becomes an hour long download.

Re: Feature: Everything You Need to Know About PS4 Pro
So even with double the gpu they still aren't going to manage 60fps? I've got to say, I'm very disappointed at that.

Re: E3 2016: FIFA 17 Has a Full Story Mode
Just please don't be like NBA 2k16. It was a good idea but it felt like a chore. Or at least have a normal career separate.

Re: How Does Metal Gear Solid V Compare Between PS4 and PS3?
I think I prefer a slight drop in graphics if it means it'll run at 60fps. Obviously, both would be better, but I'll settle for a solid 60.

Re: EA Apologies for "Unacceptable" Battlefield 4 Issues, But Will Continue To "Push The Boundaries" At All Costs
