I was pretty disappointed to see Knack fail so hard critically last year, if the game was awesome, I might have actually gotten the PS4!
I thought the concept was really cool! I also thought the character Knack looked awesome! If they could improve A TON in a sequel, then I say go ahead!
@Gamer83 Is that how you feel about FromSoftware making Bloodborne a PS4 exclusive? Is that how you feel about the many times Sony has done that in the past? (MGS4, Tales, Ni No Kuni, etc.)
Engines like Unreal and Crytek will enable indie developers who have the talent, and are willing to put in the time and effort, to make games that look AAA.
I'll be picking up this "remaster" when it's in the bargain bin.
You can't fool me Sony, paying $50 for the same game I played last year. Great game, terrible deal. They still should've offered a discount to those who bought the DLC and game(like myself).
But, for those who haven't played TLoU, this is a great game! Buy it!
But they should expect criticism for over-sexualization without context. Dragon's Crown may not have deserved the criticism, since it's not taking itself seriously and it's obviously poking fun at itself. But other games such as League of Legends and other games that have over-sexalization without any good reason will end up being criticized, because most find it distasteful. People have different views, ya know?
Man, articles like these is why I come back to PushSquare. The writing is exquisite, and thought-out. More Soapboxes please.
In regards to the subject at hand, I too am very annoyed with over-sexualization in my games...it really hinders the ability my to like and appreciate female characters within any medium. I haven't played Dragon's Crown yet, but the fact that it laughs at itself in regards to the subject makes me want to play, and also because I like a good beat em' up game every once in a while.
Well Sony should definitely still make first party games, but with smaller budgets! Don't go spending 30-50 million, spend 5-20 million! AA game budgets yo! Nintendo does it all of the time!
Sadly, I think 3DS may have finally killed Vita once and for all. I was only interested in two games: Minecraft and Freedom Wars. Everything else was either meh, or available on other consoles...damn...
Yo Joey! I'm with you man! Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep is the best Kingdom Hearts to date, and is easily my favorite PSP game! I sunk over 300 hours into that game alone! I beat everything! The board games, the Arena challenges, the secret bosses(Vanitas Lingering Spirit, Unknown) and I got the secret ending.
There are so many other fond memories I have with the PSP, such as LocoRoco, Patapon, Metal Gear Solid, God of War Chains of Olympus, God of War Ghost of Sparta, Daxter, Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, Syphon Filter, Final Fantasy 7 Crisis Core, FInal Fantasy Tactics, Dissidia Final Fantasy, Killzone Liberation, Ape Escape, Persona 3 Portable, Monster Hunter, the list goes on and on!
I'm not trying to troll, but I've been saying that I don't think that there are going to be many new exclusive announcements for PS4. I think Microsoft and Nintendo will be showing the most new exclusives while Sony just relies on 3rd Parties and indies for the most part.
I don't think Sony's E3 will be very strong this year, but next year we will probably see a sh*t ton of new games!
I'm eager to see how Uncharted 4 is turning out. But unfortunately, I'd be willing to bet we aren't going to see gameplay this E3. Probably just a CGI trailer made with the "in-game engine". Regardless, these two guys behind the wheel instills confidence in me.
The first one wasn't very good...but, I'd be down if it brought some unique things to the table. The first one was practically a CoD clone running at 30fps!

Well crap, I was looking forward to the new Homefront. Oh well, I guess it's one less FPS I have to buy I suppose...
Re: Could Knack Possibly Make a Comeback? PS4 Architect Mark Cerny Would Like It To

Re: Sony: PS4 Needs More Content to Truly Take Off in Japan
The Japanese are smart, unlike everyone in the west. I'm waiting to get my PS4. No worth it exclusives yet.
The PS4 is only worth it if you have nothing else to play multiplats on.
Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue 31
Gravity Rush on my Vita, and maybe some Street Fighter 3 on my PS3. Then some Titanfall on my Xbox One!
And if I have some friends over then Mario Kart 8 suckas!!

Re: Talking Point: Are Publishers Taking Pre-Order Bonuses Too Far?
I always, always, love the Talking Point and the Soapbox articles. Keep em' up!
And to answer the question at hand, I feel publishers are taking it too far, especially Ubisoft.

Re: NIS America Announce Another Trio of JRPG Goodies
There is something about NIS games that make me not want to buy them as soon as I see them. They just seem cheap and slightly generic.

I'm looking forward to this. Honestly honestly honestly.

Re: Out This Week: Guacamelee! PS4, Ratchet & Clank HD Vita, and More
Child of Light on Vita for me.
I want the R&C collection but I'm going to wait for reviews and impressions. Would hate to buy something as crappy as the Jak and Daxter collection.

The ever shrinking AAA Developers. Makes me scared tbh.
Re: Push Rewind: E3's Best PS4 Games, Vita's AAA Doom, and Lots and Lots of Destiny
This week was awesome and depressing at the same time. PS4 kicked ass, and Vita got its ass kicked by Sony themselves!
Re: Now a Second Sony Exec Says That the Firm's Not Making More 'Mega Budget' First-Party Vita Games

Wise up Sony!

@Punished_Boss Well, I still play Titanfall to this day. But definitely the hype was unreal.
Re: E3 2014: LittleBigPlanet 3 May Not Strictly Be Exclusive to PS4
Oh cool! So I don't have to buy a PS4 yet! I'll wait until late 2015 then!
Re: E3 2014: How Does the PS Vita's Lineup Look?
Sadly, I think 3DS may have finally killed Vita once and for all. I was only interested in two games: Minecraft and Freedom Wars. Everything else was either meh, or available on other consoles...damn...

Re: Review: Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection (PlayStation Vita)

Re: Talking Point: Why the Low Expectations for PS4 at E3 Could Work in Sony's Favour
@Dohv
I agree with you on that. I really do believe Sony doesn't have much to show on the exclusive department.
P.S. Square confirmed FFXV and KH3 won't be at E3, so yikes!
Re: Feature: What Will Sony Reveal for PS4, PS3, and Vita at E3 2014?
I wanna believe that Sony will blow us away and smash my low expectations, but frankly I just can't see that happening...fingers crossed!

Re: Talking Point: Will the PS4 Get a Price Drop at E3 2014?
I honestly don't know...if X1 gets insane momentum after E3 they might need to, but if it doesn't then don't need to change anything.
Re: Guerrilla Games' Secret PS4 Project Staying in Amsterdam for Now
@3rdEyeMind I have higher expectations from Sony, I'm going to need more than just an RPG.
Re: Guerrilla Games' Secret PS4 Project Staying in Amsterdam for Now
Whelp, I think Sony might have lost E3 before it even started.
Re: Talking Point: What Are Your Fondest Memories of the PSP?
I honestly wish the PS fanbase held the Vita to a higher standard, instead of accepting mediocrity. I'm done ranting now. Sorry!

Re: PS4 Title Project Beast Looks Dreary and Daunting in This Leaked Footage
I'd like some real co-op this time around, not just summons. I think that would be a nice thing for a the next Souls game.
Re: You'll Be Able to Watch Sony's E3 Press Conference Live in Movie Theatres

I haven't gotten it yet. But I might later if I get through my backlog.
