Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Right Colin?

Not Octopath Traveller...

@shonenjump86
I agree, Altered Beast on Console is a mess. It was okay back in the 90s but I can’t play it for more than 5 minutes now.

You know... A compilation of SEGA’s arcade games would be pretty great.

No Switch release? I feel like releasing this on a portable console would be perfect.

I think the DS4 is Sony’s best controller by far but I still think it could be more comfortable. This looks great, I like the asymmetrical sticks and it looks like far more comfortable than the stock controller. Plus it’s made by Hori.

Look who’s going to have honor of “Worst company in America” for the 3rd year in a row.

I’m wracking my brain to thInk of the last EA game I bought other than a $5 copy of 2015 Battlefront.

I have a launch model PS4 and one of my close friends has the Pro and a 4K TV. If you have a nice 4K tv it does make a noticeable difference in some games. Also, if you have PSVR it is nice to have the pro. However, even after using a pro and going back to my vanilla model I didn’t feel the need to upgrade.

@get2sammyb my thoughts exactly. Disney can’t be happy right now. I hope EA doesn’t cancel other Star Wars games because of this; Star Wars 1313 needs to happen.

Unfortunately if they took the license from EA there wouldn’t be too many developers left who have worked on Star Wars games in the past.
Although, could you imagine a Naughty Dog Star Wars game?

I'm actually happy with these. I've been meaning to get Tearaway for a while now and the other looks decent.

It seems like Sony would be pushing hard right now to get people to subscribe as many people's subscriptions end in November- January (black Friday & Christmas). Now would be a good time to throw in a AAA title. Mine ends on the 5th and I won't be renewing my subscription.

I think most people think it's excellent as well but I've heard complaints from everyone I know who's played it. Many of their complaints mirror the ones in this comment section so I think it's fair to say the game has its flaws.

I'm still on the fence about buying this. There just seem to be a lot of small things that the developers glossed over. Every major feature (story, combat, exploration, etc) at contains one of those small issues so it feels that there no truely outstanding part of this game. I feel that they could have fixed most of the issues had they allowed more people to playtest it and if they would have pushed it back a few months.

I'm hoping to get it for Christmas so I only played a little at the store. I did have a little bit of an issue with the camera in a tight corridor when Trico was taking up too much of the screen, but it wasn't that bad as IGN and a few other "reviewers" are making it out to be. It's not the prettiest game I've ever seen but it's not last generation graphics. It has its shortcomings but it's a solid 9/10

@Frank90 I totally agree about IGN. They can give great FPSs that are the same every year an 8-9 but an equally great game that is weird or different gets a 6-7. I feel like the score can vary 2 points depending on who reviews the game. This is definitely a cultural thing as well. Some people I know can't stand anything that seems Japanese.
I can't wait to play this but it's the only thing I asked for for Christmas so I'll have ot wait.

I'm a Nintendo fanboy and even I can agree with that. PS flash sales are on par with Steam sales any more so the only thing (IMO) that PC has on PS is better VR. Nintendo has their IPs but they were dethroned as king of consoles.

I think a lot of people are fed up paying $60 for the same game every year. I like FPSs but I can't justify that price especially when they'll be on sale fairly soon after launch.

How can I download it?

@get2sammyb Definitely. It's also worth mentioning that I have had a lot of issues running the Oculus CV1 on our $1000, 2014 Alienware PC (which is more powerful than a PS4). I have to play it on a custom VR PC that we built for the college and it cost almost $3000.
It's like comparing apples and oranges when it really comes down to it.

Also, you may want to try it out in a room with fewer reflective surfaces. I believe the move uses IR sensor the same way the Wii does, and Windows, mirrors and other shiny object will bounce the signal all over the room and give hi those "jitters". I used to have my Wii in a big room with Anya window and had some jitters but I noticed that my friends' Wiis didn't do that. After I moved it into my room where I only have a small window the problem went away.

Thanks for the article. Giant bomb were the only ones I'd seen that had this issue (at least to this extent). Like you said, it's not perfect but I'd bet they have a defective unit. I've done a lot with Rift through my university program and I'd say that it's a better overall experience so far but they've had a lot more time to work out the bugs than Sony has.

I tried to like the first one but it got boring. It's one of the only PS4 games I never finished. I'm fefinitely going to wait on this one.

I simply don't have time to play games on higher difficulties. More deaths pad out the game and takes up too much time.

I just finished playing the version made for Oculus and it was a blast. I can't see myself paying that much for this though.

It feels like Spore all over again. Fanboys hyped it so much that it had no chance of living up to our expectations.

I love this game! I'm not usually one for multiplayer focused games but I still play it regularly a year later. I can't wait to try this mode.

It's incentive to buy those systems if you don't already own them. However I'd rather see them remove one game from the Vita and one from the PS3 and give one more PS4 game instead.

No, not even if it has all the DLC and extras. Don't get me wrong, I really want to play this but my backlog is big eniugh that it'll be cheap by the time I get around to it. Plus there's a lot of great games I missed out on, like Arkham Knight & Witcher 3, that are getting cheap and I'll buy those first.

@RawShark
Yup, you're right. I missed that and rocket league unfortunately

Axiom verge
Broken Age
Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Valiant Hearts
Batman Arkham Knight
Wolfenstein New Order
Knack

I loved the reboot being a timed exclusive is crap. Eidos started this franchise on PS1 and SEGA Saturn; why would they screw their original and biggest fanbase? I'm not even a Sony fanboy and I think this is stupid. Heck, I played the first one on my 360. Even at $30 bucks I'd have to seriously consider buying this.

@get2sammyb
SPOILER ALERT
I was actually glad for the happy ending (especially when people who are LGBT are at higher risk of suicide). It just wasn't expecting it. I guess that's what makes it clever story-telling. I almost expected a Romeo and Juliet ending.

Meh, Sports games aren't my thing. Gone home was an interesting experience but it was anti-climactic.

SPOILER ALERT
SPOILER ALERT
I'm not anti-LGBT+ but the game felt like it was pushing an agenda by the end instead of answering questions, like, what happened to the parents? Would this game have received the same acclaim if it was about a couple of rebellious straight high schoolers in stead. Please don't hate me.
SPOILERS END HERE

@AyeHaley Like I said, just make the system backwards compatible and we can enjoy those games without the mark up. I'd rather see companies focus on new games instead of remastering games from last gen.

I don't get why we need remaster of such new games. I understand games that are system sellers like The Last of Us. It also made sense since they wanted to make sure people who sold their PS3s could still enjoy it. Sleeping Dogs, Dishonored, and Tomb Raider were all great but again they didn't need to be remastered. Grimm Fandango was remaster done right. A classic game that was difficult to find, remastered for a more mainstream audience.

Give me backwards compatibility and I'll be happy. Then I can play all of these games on my PS4 without purchasing them again.

Knack and a quality indie title, maybe Valiant Hearts.

I may have to pick this up. Like an idiot I sold it years ago and haven't seen a reasonably priced copy since. Here's hoping this will stop the price from climbing any higher

ZombiU was fun. It will be interesting without the game pad since that'l was on feature that was unique.

The lag at the beginning of stages was really unimpressive. There were a few levels that felt almost impossible to survive because of that. How did they miss that? Other than that it's been a great game.

I guess I can see both sides of this. On one hand it seems like a way to make sure there's no negative reviews out before the game releases. On the other hand, with multiplayer centric games it would be difficult to review until everything is up and running with many people playing. I've never made a game so I don't know how mich a company gone tunes the mechanics on the few days before launch.

Both and get rid of the current one.

#HashtagsAreDumbAndMakeThingsHardToRead

I really like this game but I don't think I can justify spending that much more after buying it on day 1. Maybe we'll see it in a PS Plus sale at some point.

I played bro force on the PC and enjoyed it a lot. It reminds me of Contra 3 or Metal Slug but with a completely destructible environment and tons of characters.

Model it after this. We need more 90s cover art.

Okay it's meh but it gets the point across, "It's DOOM by id and you get to play as a badass who kills hell-Martians". A callback to classic doom would be cool though. I think the name speaks for itself.

I really wanted this to do well. Even if it is a "walking simulator" it seems l like something that we haven't seen before. I'll play it at some point but I like my strong narratives and a lot of people have said this one is fairly mediocre.

What?! I was playing Crash Bandicoot tonight and they made that and so many other great games. Why do they feel the need to change now. They've got the biggest market share, why change this now? It may be a great thing but it seems weird.

Nice! Hardware Rivals looked like Fun and I almost bought Grimm Fandango a few days ago. Blood Dragon will be great as well but I need to get a new PS3 before I can play it

I was excited and then I remembered that EA now controls it. They didn't even come I put swinging on their first AAA Star Wars game since acquiring the rights. It will be a long time before we see a good Star Wars game again.

@Tasuki
Good point, but as long as you already have a the game its free on Xbox and Wii U. I think PS2 and PS3 emulation are totally possible on PS4 but Sony is just trying to sell more PS3s and re-sell the PS2 games.
