Re: Video: Will PS4 Launch Title Knack Grow on Gamers Like Uncharted?

"In fact, the reception reminds this author a little of the tepid response to Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune shortly after the PlayStation 3’s release. It took gamers a while to realise that they had something special on their hands".

I disagree. The reason why gamers weren't interested in Uncharted was because of the poor reception for the PS3. NOT Uncharted. Gamers became very cautious over buying games on PS3 because the console had no multi plats to speak of and it was surrounded by bad PR. As for the "reception", Uncharted: Drake's Fortune got excellent reviews. It's just that Assassin's Creed had just come out and was bigger and more expansive as a game.

No problem.

It isn't arrogant to say Sony has already won. PS4 has had the biggest launch ever for the gaming industry. Yes, we can't tell the future. But Sony have had a flawless record when they are the market leader. Almost impossible for Microsoft to peg Sony back.

PS1 and PS2 proved that when Sony are ahead. They stay ahead for the entire generation.

PS3 is another issue altogether because it was Sony's first real foray into online gaming etc.

PS4 has started out big and will continue to break records left and right.

PS fans and Sony need not to worry. We've just witnessed the most successful launch in the history of the industry. So many great games to look forward to.

Sony are buoyant by the positive feedback. They'll continue doing what they do best. Give gamers immersive, exclusive GOTY winners. Year in, year out.

PS4 is all you need for gaming. Nothing comes close to it.

I don't think this will be an issue.

PS4 is the easier to develop for console, more powerful and faster. Not to mention, it will have the larger market share throughout the generation.

Why would any right-minded indie developer take up Microsoft's policies and ignore the PS4?

Not going to happen.

Unless, they're being paid behind closed doors.

I always ponder why Skyrim dlc was delayed for so long. Go figure.

P.S. Microsoft can do whatever they like. Sony will continue doing their thing and giving gamers what they want. Better multi platform games, better exclusives, free games and so on. PS4 is the console of choice for gamers. You can't beat the unstoppable force that is PS4. #dealwithit.

Nice.

I can see FPS gamers buying this game in spades. It's going to be awesome.

I fell out of love with the FPS genre after all the yearly doses of COD etc.

I'm still sticking with Uncharted for PS4 as my only launch day purchase of 2014. Provided it comes out then of course. Lol.

Until then, PS PLUS on PS4 will keep me entertained. Can't wait for Out Last. : D

Re: Round Up: Gran Turismo 6 Reviews Drive to the Starting Line

No problem bud. GT has most certainly gone downhill since GT 5. GT 6 is a step in the right direction, since it does make improvements over GT 5, but it's lacking in certain areas.

Gamers don't want 1200 cars. Who in their right mind will drive ALL 1200 cars?!? No one. What gamers want is a driving game which is technically awesome in every regard. GT 1-4 had that high level of awesomeness.

GT on PS4 is where the future of this franchise will be decided. If it turns out to be awesome then gamers will be in love with it again. If it turns out to be disappointingly weak in comparison to past GT games then gamers will steadily leave the franchise.

Let's see what happens.

Well, it all boils down to the "actual" driving. Forza has fewer cars, tracks and so on. But, it plays better. The "damage" cars take in Forza is far more realistic and believable than GT 5 & 6. In GT 6, you hit a barrier at 200mph your car won't have a scratch on it and you can simply turn your car around and continue to drive. Awful.

Check out IGN's video review. They nailed down the positives and negatives of GT 6 really well. 8/10 sounds like a good score to give it. : )

Reviews aren't looking too good for GT 6. Metacritic has it at 75. Let's wait and see what the rest of the critics think of it.

Hold onto your hats folks. If the game gets mediocre reviews then the Xbox crowd will use it as an opportunity to say, "Forza is better than Gran Turismo".

I always chuckle at console wars. Entertainment to me. : P

Re: Phase 3 PS4 Stock Seeping into UK GAME Stores Now

RisefromAshes

Sony are killing it.

I said to everyone that the price tag "alone" would make the PS4 a big seller and I was right.

The games will come over time.

Right now, it's all about getting the PS4 out into the public domain with people giving positive feedback and spreading the word.

Word of mouth has proven to be the best method of selling a console. This seems to be the case with PS4. EVERYONE wants to buy it. : D
