@get2sammyb How do you feel about it so far Sammy? It looks like a game that would be right up my alley, just not sure if I am fully committed to the hundreds of hours of grind that will commence to fully experience it. Plus I generally loathe the way Ubisoft handles their mission structure in their games.

I was really on the hype train for this one, and then it just derailed for me at some point. Not sure if it was the protracted wait from the initial reveal or if I am still suffering from a Destiny hangover. It looks pretty cool, but something has turned me off to it. All the talk about No Man's Sky last week and the announcement of the release date, which is pretty close IMO, certainly didn't help the Divisions case. So if anyone here has put in some extended time into division, lemme know how it plays for you, I just might bite.

Definitely has a nice "feel" to it, seems original even if using turn based battle. The enemy and hero attack animations are just flawless though, awesome art imo.

Just deliver a FF game that is truly worthy of its namesake. It has been to long and to many iterations of utter trash. Make sure the whole damn game is good, not some sappy love story at the end.

@banacheck Have to agree with this, Resogun was absolutely perfect for what it was trying to do, and I still pick it up and play to this day. Some studios just know what genres they are good at it, and they stick to them until they have mastered it.

@BAMozzy Sounds like you better pass on it then bud. If you have found this many negative things about the game, the genre, and the developer, it is probably not for you. Looks like a better version of HellDivers to me.

@Mega-Gazz Have to agree, after pouring countless hours learning the intricacies of combat and game play in BloodBorne, the combat in Witcher 3 felt downright boring to me most of the time, and to easy. Still a great game nonetheless.

Not quite sold on this yet. I dig the art style (except for the faces) but with so many good jrpgs releasing this year I am not sure I will ever get around to it. Way off topic here, but does anyone know the launch window for FF15? Really hoping they don't launch this game around the same time as FF, it deserves a shot and probably won't get one of it releases to close to FF.

Can't wait to see the shared pics once NMS releases. Seems like a twitch and pic share lovers wet dream!

@ShogunRok This is exactly how I feel. I use gaming strictly for fun and relaxation. Once a game loses that feeling, I am done with it, and may or may not revisit it. As for trophies, I only hunt them in games I TRULY adore, which is probably less than 3 a year, and sometimes only one.

When I was younger I definitely felt like I had to finish a game before I started a new one. These days I have stopped that type of thinking. I only get an hour or two a day to game, if that, so I use it as time to wind down from work and relax. Whatever is most fun for me at that time is what I will play. Sometimes that means leaving a game half done to start a new game that released that is more appealing. Right now though that means that while I am playing I secretly wishing I had a copy of No Man's sky and am counting down the days!

Best cover art of this gen on any console IMO, and some of the best cover art I have EVER seen as well. Just a great piece and would love a full size poster to frame. Already got my ps4 limited edition on preorder from game stop(I know gamestop, uhhj) and am counting down the days.

So this is something like League of Legends? Never played a MOBA, not even really sure what the genre entails lol. Guess being over 30 leaves me unaware of such things!

@get2sammyb And yet, many will tell you that they would rather have a game like this than another indy title, sigh

I have a feeling that after you pour a good chink of hours in and start getting to the center of the universe that running into other players may become a little more common. How awesome would it be if their is a planet at the center that people who completed the game can meet at and go out on missions together!

@stupidget I remember that, and a very good comparison! Cant believe how excited I am getting for this game.

Dat cover art though! Seriously thay cover art is the best I have seen in a long time, imo of course. Gotta have it.

This game is garnering ALOT of attention, especially being over 4 months out still. Such a great idea for a game IMO and I think the visual aesthetic Hello Games chose is absolutely perfect for this. Almost looks like what Star Fox SHOULD look like, lol. Really liked the addition of the languages and how it can effect dialogue in different ways. Excited for this one, already have the limited edition pre-ordered. Only thing I am upset about is I can't get the ship figurine with the ps4 limited edition, but I am honestly most interested in the comics thay give extra background lore to the game. SWEET

@get2sammyb Thx sammy, that sounds good, the menus were really top notch in destiny.

@Bliquid Thx bud, I found it very shortly after I replied to you, lol. Now I have already preorder ed the limited edition!

One question Sammy, where exactly did you film that video clip? I see someone else likes pink! Lol

@Churchy Agree, the videos are a really good compliment to everything else. The NMS video was especially good.

Counting down the days until the 21st so I can get my hands on that oh so sweet limited edition. rubs hands together vigorously

100% day one for me, I NEVER buy special editions, but this one is just to gorgeous to pass on! Will be counting down the days!!

@Flaming_Kaiser There will be retail copies? I really hope so

@get2sammyb Shawn made mention to this in an earlier interview. It is "possoble" to run into other players, but very unlikely because of the near limitless size.

@Mega-Gazz From what Shawn said in an earlier interview, it is online and every player will share the same universe, but because it is SO gigantic and large the chances of finding another person are very, very small. Now that's not to say that communities won't be set up offline so people can meet online on certain planets.

@Kupobo Have to agree with this. The art style is what originally piqued my interest with this game almost 2 years ago, and it seems to have gotten better! The vibrant and bright 70s style Sci Fi art direction is truly top notch.

@get2sammyb One quick question Sam if you don't mind. I noticed in the video (excellent btw) that you said it had something in common with Destiny. Being at work I had the volume pretty low and wasn't able to fully discern what you were talking about in that bit, thx bud!

Totally psyched, and thx for all the new info! Really digging the while language thing and having to learn words and what not. This is shaping up to he REALLY special. By far my most anticipated game for the ps4 thus far.

I guess all these updates will come across a bit mundane for me until they announced external HD compatibility. I was happy with the ps4 functionality out of the box, so the further updates and iterations are just icing on the proverbial cake.

@rjejr Totally agree, this is just Phils way of giving the xbox fans something to latch onto. "Xbox will be stronger in the future!" What would be the point of buying a console only to upgrade it every year? Wouldn't just want a pc at that point? This is more Microsoft BS imo.

@Dodoo Microsoft has this habit of throwing alot of things out there, telling us it is going to come, and then not really delivering. They went on and on about the cloud over two years, and still nothing. Big deal made out of the Hololens, and probably will amount to nothing. I think this whole upgradeable idea from Microsoft is pretty spin honestly. They are gauging the reaction from fans, bc in the long run I really think it will be all about Windows and pc for them. To further fragment their consumer base would be dreadful imo.

@rjejr Sorry about the misinterpretation there. I understand what you are saying and it makes sense, but I also think every now and then an INDY cess along that can't be categorized with its peers. Take Witness for example. It's a puzzle game, and it's 40 dollars. Many were outraged before it released that an INDY game would cost that mucj, especially only being a puzzler. After releasing most realized how great it was regardless of its indy status, and that it was definitely worth its asking price. Maybe NMS won't live up to its AAA price or our expectations, but it sure seems to be doing everything right thus far and it must be something special the way Sony has paraded it, and cradled it, along the way.

Honestly, I think we all should calm down on this price point. This isn't even offical, lol. Could have been wrong, since it was taken down. I will pay 60 if that's what it os, but alot of conclusions being jumped to here. I am of the opinion that the size and length of the game lends itself to a full priced AAA title. Small teams back in the day made tons of games that were full priced, and Noone bothered to complain then. Team size and development company size should not determine whether a game should be full priced or not. Quality, polish, depth, originality, visuals etc. should be what determines a price. If they think what they have ever created deserves that price tag, I am OK with it personally

@rjejr Except that Sony reportedly stepped in awhile back to help with production, among other things. That's got to be more than just 3 people, right?

@thedevilsjester I think they haven't shown alot for a simple reason. They don't want to spoil what they have and let leak to other devs what they are creating. Yes it is procedural, but this isn't your granddads procedural game. I know any are skeptical but I think it will really live up to the expectations it has garnered.

@Churchy Totally agrred, I think I would be gutted if it was only 20 bucks. Then I would know it is a smallish, simple game that can rightfully only charge a twenty. At 60, that tells me this has full production values and is a massive game. Someone said the visuals don't look AAA, I say they look BETTER then most AAA games these days. It's not all about realism imo.

@themcnoisy The price of new AAA es have stayed static for MANY years now, as long as I can remember it had been 60. If you are thinking of this as an INDY along the lines of Axiom Verge or something similar, your probably wrong. Sony reportedly stepped in to help with lroduction, server issues, publishing, funding, marketing and on and on. This is not your typical indy my friend, this the SUPPOSED price tag. It's not even official BTW.

@ToddlerNaruto Seems silly that they wouldn't make a remastered trilogy, though I guess it would be quite a lot of work for a truly good remaster of all 3, especially part 1 I hear.

@Splat so perfect!

So the Japanese versions have been out for awhile I presume? Anyone here played them by chance? Can you play part 2 without playing part 1 first? Will they be released simultaneously in the west? Sorry for all the questions, they look really interesting.

@Ewflex I also think that if you are expecting a good story to be included in what is essentially an online shooter, you will probably be dissatisfied. The focus will be on the shooting first and foremost, with story somewhere far behind, imo. I could have made this educated guess without seeing any videos on the game, knowing how big devs develop online shooters these days.

@Ewflex IMO the MANY hours of YouTube videos of the game play and the two betas are plenty enough for me personally. I say sheep as a joke really, because people have become more and more reliant on supposed professional "gaming journalists" telling them what is good and what isnt. Take it as you will.

@naut The sheep need something to follow besides their own minds lol

I think Horizon will make it this year personally. I really want a Master Effect Trilogy remaster though. Never got to play the original as I was a ps3 owner and by the time the trilogy was released for ps3 I already had part 2 and 3 and couldn't be bothered with it. (Plus I hear it needs some SERIOUS updating)

VERY impressive indeed! The ps4 is just a sexton piece of tech and has mass appeal for core gamers as well as younger gamers and casuals. IMO it represents how good consoles can be and how well they can cater to the customer.

I think many will continue to make the transfer to mobile devices. The gaming landscape has changed drastically and many of these devs were left playing catch up due to not being able to adjust to the new trends in gaming. Unfortunately mobile gaming is low risk, with a chance for high reward. Oh how I hate it, imo it is the bane of the gaming hobby.

@JaxonH It's not really an INDY per say at this point though. Sony has stepped in to help with funding, production, and publishing if the internet can be believed. I think Sony realized early on how special this game could be, especially if they want it as an exclusive for their vr. I have payed sixty for games and gotten alot less, but you are right, it must be judged as a full fledged title and not given the cheap indy treatment.

@MikLSP Exactly, kids these days don't really know the history of video games. This project is quite obviously AAA quality and I don't think it really fits into an INDY or AAA or whatever label. I have extremely high hopes for this, and am happy that Sony stepped in to help with production etc. For what is on offer 60 seems very fair, especially considering games like Battlefront, Evolve, Titanfall, and The Order were all full priced and offered MUCH less. Get tired of the complaints about pricing honestly, especially when this is being made by a group of very passionate individuals that have dumped everything they have into its success. I will gladly pay 60.
